I logged out and disabled the the other mail apps. Maildroid is the only one that runs at the moment.

Nexus 4 w/ Nova Launcher. Keeping things dead simple. Tap the Home button to reveal the status bar. Swipe from top still works for the notification shade, and swipe from bottom for Google & voice search. Made the clock/weather widget myself with UCCW.

How did you move the status-bar icons to the bottom and the soft-keys to the left?

It's an option in settings with the Paranoid Android ROM - you can change your UI from phone UI to tablet UI :)

I would say most are using launchers, like Nova, Apex, etc. I am using Apex, and I love it. Start there, and then start playing around with it.

You have to change this in your settings.

Settings > Google > <your account> > untick Gmail.

Once you do that you can also go to Settings > Applications > All > Gmail > Disable. So now the Gmail app doesn't even show up or run on your phone at all.

UCCW + Nova Launcher on HTC One.



The boring second screen which really is only used for the calendar and the search widgets at the moment.
