When the Ultra first came out, all the reviewers said that while the phone's insides are great, it's a cold dark soulless monolithic slab without the fun and warmth and humaneness of the Moto X. I thought why fight the common wisdom, I'm just going to go along with their approach, so … HAL.
- Nova Prime Launcher
- Wallpaper homemade from a Deviant art image. (

- Clock widget where “HAL 9000″ should be at top by UCCW. I padded the minutes with two zeros so it matches the HAL 9000 style.
- Icons:Serious Crazy Red 62 for the dock (search xda) , and for now Carbn Red for app icons.
- Circle Launcher with a transparent icon set over the HAL eye. It comes up with 8 shortcut icons in a circle when tapped.
- Indicator boxes on the left are direct dial icons, made using Desktop VisualizeR.
(PS - I trained the phone's Touchless Control to respond to "OK Google, HAL." It works.)
