https://web.archive.org/web/20121113070604/https://www.metro7app.com/download/metro7-setup.exe - Metro7 (another Windows 8 start screen clone, but the tiles on the front page can be customized unlike WinMetro but it's lacking an easy way to enter it and the all programs option)


https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_8_start_screen_full.html - Windows 8 Start Screen Full, again I put it as it simulates the Windows 8 Consumer Preview start menu rather than the RTM menu.


https://files.catbox.moe/fzc7ag.apk - Widget Preview app (Android 4.x SDK and certain AOSP devices come with this app, these are from the ZIP file, but only including the fully working ones)


https://files.catbox.moe/4kjvpf.apk - API Demos app


https://files.catbox.moe/pvt5pv.apk - Gesture Builder app


https://files.catbox.moe/4s360u.apk - Development Settings app

AEROTHEMEPLASMA (7 theme for Linux) is for KDE Plasma


B00merang-Project (Vista/7 theme for Linux) is for GTK/GNOME


This is an important classification.

changed the wording on the linux things and added the widget preview, not planning on adding any more windows 8 start menus since there's already 2 and I don't want to bloat the post with a bunch of repeats, thank you for sending!

Here is a modded version of original Android 4.4 (KitKat) launcher that can works even on Android 14, but it requires installation throw ADB, Tango and other tool if you want to install on Android 14. It seems to work well on my A52 with Android 14!
https://archive.org/details/com.android.launcher3_2
Other Android 4.x launchers (especially Android 4.0) seems to be some kind of modification of Holo launcher that not feels like real Android 4.x launchers on certain scenarios.
You should also mention that the trick of using Tango to run old apps on modern Android just works on Android 14+, and won't solve some issues. I tried to mod Android 2.2 and 2.3 (Froyo/Gingerbread) launchers but I cannot run these with my mods and tweak, maybe it requires to make the launcher from scratch or additional tweaking. Here I provide also a version of Android 1.6 (Donut) launcher for modern devices!

To delicious2003 I am having a issue where that modified Android 4 launcher didn't work it couldn't install on my non-rooted Samsung tablet and on my phone it would crash so your android launcher is bad

For the person that posted MeeGoLauncher. Do you want me to fix it for Android 11+? It might not work well on these devices due to the additional permision that allows to Query All Packages. That just requires to add one line to the manifest file. I could try to do it as I did with Android 4.4 (KitKat) launcher and 2.2/2.3 Launcher (I failed). BTW I think that the Android 4.0 Launcher should be removed, it's just an outdated version of HoloLauncher with some themes or styles. It should be possible to theme the new HoloLauncher as it was done with that version.

To @ginger1234 test the original F-Droid app, let me know if it works. BTW what android have your devices? That information is useful to try additional methods to fix it, or consider making something from scratch, so please let me know instead of telling that my mod is bad.

@Ginger1234 forgot that! Download the original app from F-Droid in your pc and install through ADB. Since this is just a old app that was modded, install using ADB. Remember to include the paramether --bypass-low-target-sdk-block while installing!

hey can you readd my icon pack becauce i no longer support mega cloud but now google drive version maybe because of reddit not allowing mega cloud links?


edit also add Install with Options on top with information that Android 14 blocks installation of older apps? (just in case if somebody would want to complain why they can't use some apps on android 14)


another edit: pls remove https://xdaforums.com/t/q-samsung-galaxy-s2-icon-pack.1092425/ there is no download for icon pack! and https://www.deviantart.com/hktorito/art/Android-1-6-Icons-917739846 baucese is upscaled icons and looks ugly

May I suggest adding Meeye Icon Pack to the list? It is an icon pack based on MeeGo, and to some extent, Symbian Anna and Belle

And also Belle UI for KLWP/KWGT, which ports a bunch of Symbian Belle stuff to use on modern Android launchers (Requires KLWP or KWGT)
