    Hi folks,
    I am sure some of you have Android phones/tabs that are in need of a bit of a boost! I was hunting around for a theme for my phone (S7 Edge) and stumbled across a dev who makes amazing LCARS screens....

    I use the classic TV Trek design (which has a small cost) but there are a couple of other designs which are free and worth looking at!

    in order to use the themes you need Total Launcher if you don't have it already. Quick note - my LCARS theme needed me to upgrade Total launcher to the pro version before the weather widget would work (weather service api issues) but there are some free workarounds to get weather working (see the FB link below for details).

    In the pics below you can see the same version I have running. All the buttons with text etc... all customisable. And you can make the buttons blink, make sound etc...

    Main Screen:

    Sys Screen:
    Name:  Lcars 2.png
Views: 4737
Size:  52.1 KB

    They also have full landscape versions - which are laid out differently!

    For more info the devs FB page is here and you can find the themes on his google play store here. (The theme above is this one)

    Last quick note - for those wanting a lockscreen as well - please stay away from GO Locker (which many themes require) as the app has far too many ad's at the momment that can't be turned off.... I recommend a static pic for your lockscreen for now!

    Hope this is useful for someone!!

    That's pretty nifty, I'm pretty sure someone mentioned something like this a year or two ago. Personally I don't think I'd go for such a drastic overhaul but maybe something a little bit less lcarsy would be nice.

    I hadn't done it before! Smile Always just changed background but when I switched back to android and found this I thought I would give it a go. That being said Samsung's UI is horrible so I needed to change it to something - anything else! Big Grin

    I experimented a bit with these some time ago, but they were mostly buggy. Could you say it is stable now and not very invasive?
    Usually comes with ads and adware.
