10/13 update
New updates! They're not as big as the first update, but hey, they're still updates. ;)

This is the updated notifications dropdown. This time, I only changed the boring static "Check your Gmail" text to a fully functioning Gmail reader. If there are no new mails it will say "No new mail". If there is 1 new mail, it'll say "1 new mail". You get the idea. Also, the status bar shows a new headphones icon...

The updated "Google Now"-styled skin. Poor thing finally works, apart from the text that says "Washington". It finds out your location based on your IP, but I'm in NYC. :hmmm: The weather values are somewhat similar to what I get on Weather.com, so I guess it's functioning.

Clicking on the headphones icon in the status bar opens this music player. This is based on the music player from the GS3, but eventually I'll make one that looks like Google Play's music player. Every button you see there works properly, with iTunes. Ironic, no? :cheeky:

This is the newest addition. It's like the digital control buttons the newer Android devices have. I'm not sure if it will stay into the first full release because I have found no use for any of the buttons yet. The only thing I find useful as of now is the search bar.
That's it for this update, stay tuned for more! :D
