Part 1: Applying Apex and its settings

Here is the link for Apex Launcher Pro, as it comes with a few key features needed for this screen as well as many others:

Key changes here would be changing the 'portrait grid' to 9x7, manage screens should be changed so that there are only 2 screens, 'Wallpaper mode' should be single screen and 'Hide notification bar' should be ticked. Back to the main screen, change your Dock Settings by scrolling down and selecting 'Hide Dock'. Next would be to go back into the main screen, go into advanced settings, and select 'Overlapping Widgets'. Finally change your wallpaper to the one provided in the link above.

Part 2: Adding the UCCW Widgets

Simply add the UCCW widgets that are provided in the link at the top. This can be done by copying them onto your phone then selecting them when you choose "Open uzip" on the UCCW menu.

Also remember to ALWAYS resize your widgets, dragging them will simply move everything around, not good...

Part 3: Adding in the Homescreen Indicators and App Drawer


The app drawer can be added quite easily, just add the "App drawer" in the Apex Actions when you hold down on the homescreen. Then hold down on it, go edit, then select the icon provided in the link above.

For the Homescreen changers at the top, use the Apex Actions (holding down on the homescreen) and selecting Screen 1 and Screen 2. After changing the icon to the blank png, you can simply tap these to jump to the next screen, mad!
