The clock is called Make Your Clock Widget and the weather widget is from an Australia-specific weather app called Pocket Weather Australia (it uses the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for info and forecasts which is significantly more accurate than the sources all the other weather apps use.)

Awesome icons. Me want.

This is what I've got at the moment but I was wondering if any of you guys know a good app for making icons that would kind of fit in to that style, because currently I'm just scrolling to the shame page (which is just a horrible wall of icons) and I don't want any more of those rectangles on the left.
Source?
I take it you're using Nova launcher and changed the number of columns and rows?
Looks very nice.
Didn't realize it was so easy to take screenshots with the ONE. Here's my setup:
Those two buttons on the home screen go to the blinkfeed. I might be the only person that actually loves that interface. I even opted out of the widget locker setup and used the default lock screen.

I've never tried any custom theme. Could you tell me what icon pack and widgets (weather/clock/calender) you're using?

Weather looks like the Eye In Sky widget.
Icon pack is the Minimal UI.
I think it's the Nova launcher.

EDIT: Got it all figured out. Pretty simple so far, but...

Used Apex Launcher and downloaded a nice square themed wallpaper with Kub Icon Pack and elegante clock widget theme. Manage to hide the notification bar and text to make it simple and sleek.

Okay. I went off the deep end after getting my GS4 last week.
Two months of designing, looking for inspiration and tweaking (a lot of tweaking) has led me to this; a homescreen that is clean, colorful, personal and informative all while fitting with Google's design language. I love it.
Wallpaper: custom (made with Pixelmator on Mac)
Icons: Goolors and Minimal UI, Tiny Black for dock functions
Widgets: Date, Alarm and Weather is a custom made 4x1 UCCW widget... my Verge/Polygon RSS feed is Simple RSS Widget

Love the way that looks.
What icons are you using?
Tiny White Icons I think.
Got my first Android phone 2 days ago, here's what I've managed to accomplish:
This I have a little request about:
I really dig the stock alarm clock widget, but I'd like to get it without a background. Anyone have an idea with what widget/app I could get what I want?
Also, I can't seem to be able to buy Nova Launcher Prime for some reason. Always gives me an error when I try to pay it.

Thanks!
Link to wallpaper please!
I was following this tutorial on how to get the Holo Cards look, however got horribly screwed up along the way and am not sure it's salvageable, purely because I don't know what I'm doing.
However I did buy the Minimal MIUI GO Apex Theme so as to enable this look so I'm hoping I could find another cool theme that uses it that I can replicate.
Is there a database anywhere with such looks or can anyone who uses the Minimal MIUI GO Apex Theme help me out?
Thanks! (Apologies for being hopeless)
I'm an idiot, it's an app appearance pack. I can definitely still use this. Ignore me!

I spent time this weekend re-thinking my home screen design.
Rather than jam a ton of apps, RSS feeds and informational widgets on my home screen, I pared down to the basics. I realized there are only three or four apps I used daily and they are all core functions of the phone.
I use Nova Prime as my launcher and configured the first page of my App Drawer to be my most-used and favorites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Swiping up on the ^ also pulls up Google Now.
The wallpaper is a picture of Raleigh I found on Flickr, the icons are "Tiny Whites" by SammyCakes and the clock widget is Zooper Pro.

Looks absolutely brilliant man. Simple and clean, just the way I like it.
While this thread is up again I figured I'd post my latest setup as well. I used to have it like FunnyBunny's, but I felt like playing around with it a bit.
It's based on Holo UI rev 2 on MyColorScreen with a couple of changes to make make it simpler. Also UCCW caused major lag spikes from time to time so I exchanged that for some Minimalistic Text.
Using Apex Pro with Shaded Icons. Can't remember where I got the image from, but I have it around if somebody wants it.

Might as well post mine seeing as this thread was bumped. I usually like minimalistic but decided to switch it up a little. Pinch in goes to apps, swipe up goes to settings and swipe down to access notification.
Edit: I give up with this stupid imgur app. Never works.
Edit 2: fucking finally.

Exquisite.
You are still using Apex, right? What grid size are you using? I think I'll copy some things from your homescreen, it's so beautiful.
Thanks! Yeah I'm using Apex Pro at a 6x7 grid with a large horizontal margin. The dock is a 7 row dock to make the icons much closer to each other.
Also swipe up for app drawer.
Is having dock icons that are different from the other icons a feature of Apex Launcher?
Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I don't see a way to achieve the same results with Nova.
Great work, but the way!
No you can do the same in Nova. You'll just have to change the icons of the apps individually. So long press app -> press the icon -> choose icon pack/image/whatever and you're set.
Thanks!

Oh no. I am going to spend so much time tweaking my icons now. You have opened my eyes.
Thanks for your help!

It's a dangerous rabbit hole to fall into that I've been stuck in for years... good luck!
Thanks! Now I just need to finally buy Nox, which I should've done when it released.
