>>1702427I'm running it stock 4.4.4 un rooted.
With the nexus rooting requires the device to be wiped and I'm too lazy to deal with that.
I have apex launcher set to use a solid bar because I don't like the gradient that kitkat brought with it. Truthfully I'm just not too big on the the transparent bars either. I like my stuff divided up. The black bar does that nicely. When I remake it I'll probably have a darker if not black wallpaper so it will fit better than it does against the blue.
As for the down scope view I'm talking about its this one.
Making the handle is pretty easy though. I have the UN spacy logo from Macross on my s3.
