In this guide I'll be showing you how to customize your homescreen to look at least a bit alike iOS 7. I know there are another guides or tuts with the same topic, and yes, I've also tried each of them, but I definitely haven't found one around this forum or even google that really fits. Please, do remember that I make this because I--myself--am a fan of iOS 7 UI and I thought it'll be cool if I (or any other people) can make it possible on my ACE 2. Now, let's get to the things you'll need.
REQUIREMENTS:
Install everything needed!
Fonts? Open ifont and search for Helvetica S, download > install > reboot
1. Launch Nova Launcher Prime and set it as your primary launcher
Exclude the status-bar.
Oh, and a little information. I was currently working on a project and hopefully a custom ROM, but since I'm a newbie, I guess I won't do a free-jump as if I knew much about customizing a ROM.So I'll start with the SystemUI, which is one of the common parts that (from my point of view) people usually mod/customize. You'll know it when it's done. - DONE! With the help of @MR.Volkf in this thread.
