You can download icons off google images and save them to your camera roll. You can then select them from the when setting up your custom app launcher.
It still shows the items is no longer available message...I need this as Quick-Tap is still no signs of life

Hello they use phone mast towers to pin point your location so three masts would form a triangle and it would then locate you somewhere in the middle. It doesn't solely use GPS like I first thought

In LAUNCHER app, what is the "custom launcher"? Can i add an inside feature of other app in there by some url or something?
Yes, you can set an app to open up with a specific document as an example I believe or you can add an app that isn't currently supported out of the box if you know the url scheme it uses.
You specify a URL to a custom launcher. In other words, any apps that support a URL scheme can be launched from Launcher. The best thing is there are a few automation apps like Drafts, Workflow and Schemes that you can construct a workflow, link it with Launcher and launch an action but not only an app. But of course the apps you wanna put into a workflow have to support a URL scheme.

Is there a news widget that updates when you pull down Notification Center
Cnn /yahoo news & google news don't update unless I open the app

These were posted last year. I'm not sure how up to date they are.

But you can also just guess. That works for me more than not. The usual format seems to be like this:
appname://
So just as an example, if Spotify wasn't in the list of launchable apps, it could most likely be called by using the following:
spotify://

I'm not sure how it got there, but the team has been teasing some updates for the app. Perhaps a Notification Center widget will be among them...I'd be a happy camper.
Next lets you play music from the notification centre

First of all i want to say that it's soooo great that Launcher is back in the App Store so I was able to grab it and immidiately upgraded to Pro. It's a bit expensive but well worth it!
I finally found a Setting which i wanted to quickly access which is Background App Refresh it is (source): prefs:root=General&path=AUTO_CONTENT_DOWNLOAD
Aside from those websites there is also the other Launcher topic here on MacRumors which has quite some other URL schemes mentioned which are not available on those websites.
mobilenotes://add works great on my iPad mini2 running iOS 8.2 with Quick-tap but doesn't seem to work with Launcher for some reason unfortunately. It only opens the Notes app.
I'm also wondering if other Quick launch widgets will try again to submit their widget such as Quick-tap which tried to submit a 1.1 version a few months ago but was then removed/rejected by Apple.
