Hi anyone,
Do you know any good collection of icons that I can use with Android?
A good and have a huge kind of icons ... not just handful.
I know the "Suave" collection, but they are just like iPhone icons. They are very good and has a lot of icons (a lot !).
I checked couple of Better Android icon packs, some of them are good, but most are not. And most of the time it does not contain a lot of icons to choose for.
So, please share if you know any good collection of icons here
Thanks.
take a look @ Gnome-looks.org - They have a bunch of nice icons there...

Found buff, it is very nice ... but only 8 bpp

Try www.iconspedia.com .. They have tonnes of icons, but not a lot related to phones. Maybe have to do quite a lot of searching and mix and match, but well worth a look.

hi everyone,
i mean, there are a few interesting themes out there, including iphone clones, wm7 leak concepts, etc... but: the only design i am really in love with is the design a_c uses in his apps. i simply love the greyish and minimalistic design of S2P and the options menu design of S2U. i love the small taskbar and i think though it is so small it seems very powerful to me as of functionality. i beg you, a_c, please hear my wish of an app that works like the ones you already made (an app that overlays the today-screen) that is so smooth, fast and simply amazing! i offer my help in developing the gfx needed for this project.
replies appreciated
hmm...if you have ever had a look at an iPhone you would know that all the A_C's work is based on iPhone's programs. S2P and S2U2 atleast, S2V not that much but still. So if A_C would make a theme I bet it would look a lot like iPhone themes we have seen already (iFonz etc)
well ok i know that, but:
i hate the iphones "desktop"...i hate those glassy icons which look like crap (to me).well i would think in the minimalistic way...like a bar at the top with a few tabs which drop down when u open them (like messaging-->new sms, new email, etc and multimedia-->audio, video, player etc)
i hate overloaded today screens and thats why i thought it would be so extremely cool if there was an application like that.
Have you had a look at PointUI? I think it could be something worth trying if you're looking for a minimalistic and nice looking UI to replace the today screen. www.pointui.com is the address. Have a look.
I know exactly what you mean! I've used alot themes and things like ultimate launch, WAD themes and spb mobile shell. But when i first opened the menu in customisation menu in S2U2 I always think "WOW"!! It has a sort of mac feel to it.
But I also dont like the crappy icons for the iphone themes either! I think a theme similar A_C's menus would be amazing!
Same here the S2U2 settings are very nice! I to would like to see an app request like this! All who are into this leave a feedback. Don't know what we're talking about? go get S2U2, from A_C. I feel this would be a cool addition to the whole iphone theme!
I want to start it,anyone ave any suggestions hints or anything else?
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
sign up and do some homework..u'll see that one was created already
also i suggest u search the forums before making threads like this..
i signed up and looked,i want to make it with other to make look more beautiful
beginning-4 tabs,for weather tab for better looking can be used iphone theme for weatherpanel
there is one in the throttle forums already but, we need to get better icons for that setup. besides that, its a really useful setup cuz its not just icons
i can help,but those setup is not working on my (i have 0.9.3)
as mike21 stated..."its not just icons"
thats a key factor here..it seems to be that alot of these iphone themes are just icons which is cool and on the money so to speak..but alittle too much on the eyes if u ask me..
i, as well as countless others, enjoy a today/home screen..with a background picture rather than the ladder..a bunch of icons leading u to other places..
so maybe u may want to keep that in mind..when creating your theme
i mean..keep the iphone look and feel..but add a twist..to make "your own" diffrent from the rest

yea, using plain icons really suck big time. what needs to be done is the same thing that gullum did with his setup but keeping the iphone look by keeping the bottom 4 icons static and use them to open different pages within the setup so you have the iphone look but have a lot more functuality in the setup rather than just launch icons

well done mate! it is always good to have different versions of a theme! i cant create themes myself but with my macbook next year, ill join the 'race'
Here is my thought....
I am very good with graphic design and propose that a lot of developers help me out on this project.
What is the Project?
The idea is to create a "TouchFlo 3Dish" Ui but have the tabs on the side instead of the top.
Why go through all the work?
Well if we are able to do this it would allow for more developers to implement more tabs into this.
Ex. Sports scores,T.V,RSS, Games, and much More!!!!!
Just think of the possibilities.
I have a developer that will help me out on this... but i need more!
Here is a quick dummy graphic i came up with....
I like that idea alot. It's almost like a mix of TFlo3D and the Omnia widget. I can't do much with the developing process but I am good with graphics and theme making so if you would like any help in those fields i'd be glad to assist.
Hope to see this some progress on this soon,
dwizzy130
That is the idea of it....
to have the Good Looks of TF3D but with more functionality like the touchwiz
I'm in! Let me know what I can do to help.

Nice idea. Adding more tabs is always great. But May I suggest something?
I can see that this is probably the screen size of a Omnia. But placing the tab bar at the side of the screen, eats up more real estate on the screen.
Placing the bar at the bottom of the screen, with ability to 'scroll' the tab, would be a good idea in my opinion.
After all, the thumb is at the bottom of the screen most of the time. So it would be easier to scroll the tab rather than utilizing both hands to navigate.
Hope you can take human ergonomics into consideration.
why not allow the user to put the tabs bar on the side, or on the bottom?
oh, it looks like as i was reading and typing someone else had the same idea as me...(the post right above this one!)

Yes, that would be great for the user to select the location of the tabs bar to be in.
Also, in the truth, the present layout (on the side of the screen) looks akin to landscape mode. I am sure it would be useful for people will slide out keyboards and still be able to scroll the tabs by hand !
This is getting interesting .
edit: I may not be able to contribute much, but I can try skinning the new layout when it is finalize.
this sounds like a great idea how about including the arrow that will hide and unhide the side menu it would be cool to have it........my knowledge of coding is very basic all i cn do is graphic designing and u dnt need that
yah i will definitely give the user the option to put it on the bottom or the top...
and no it is not omnia... it is Touch HD

nice phone.. !
Hi,
is a great idea, i like this UI
But, look for compatibility on other devices as Touch HD.
The most users i think have not an VGA device.
Best regards

yes. that is an awesome idea! it could open up a lotta screen space
Great!!! IDEA!!!
That would allow everything to be full screen!!
ok i'll add that to the list....
look forward to seeing somekind of progress "first release" in the next week... hopefully...
Wow, this is a really good idea! I look forward to seeing this as a finished product. Good luck, and if it looks even close to that image, you will have sold me.

that is looking good. what do you think of a transparent manila clock?
there is a customized manila over from ppcgeeks by juggalo_x and his manila has a clear clock, i think its nice... works well with custom backgrounds. worth at least taking a look.
What a Great idea. I can help test it on my Titan and give you feedback and pictures.
I'll be willing to test and donate for this.
Could test on Fuze or Kaiser.
this will be absolutely magnificent.
First i think before any customization... i think we should get it to run... smoothly.....
we will most likely do one tab at a time...
ie. Home tab in first beta.
hopefully we will get one going soon!!!

Hi guys,
I thought it would be useful to have a thread where we can post examples of great UI Designs in Android Apps, for reference when developing apps.
Personally I think one of the better UI designs is the official twitter app.
Anyone else care to share some examples?
3d gallery app
I wonder what the twitter app will look like after the twitter redesign was launched.

Eh, the layout is good but the whole red, black, and white embossed color scheme just doesn't suit me well. I can't quite remember the name of the app, but it was a sort of all in one note taking application, like it stored numbers, locations, notes, etc.. I'll try to dig up the name, because it had a very nice looking UI.
Need UI help?
If anyone needs UI design help please let me know, I'd love to help you! (Usually free as long as I get a little credit in the about )
TweetDeck.
Just switched to it myself and I rather like it,will take some getting used to but it seems alot more feature packed.
So what are your views on the new theme?
(if you don't know how to switch to it scroll to the bottom of a page and in the left corner you will see theme changer switch to 2013 beta)
I'm not fan of the 2010 or 2013 Beta - the XDA Classic suits me and I've been using it since the beginning. The new themes have a too "White" effect for my taste - while the Classic theme is plain and simple for browsing. Just my opinion...
I wonder how many people are using the new themes vs the classic one.
XDA 2013 Beta
I like the 2013 beta. Thanks for pointing it out. The Portal Posts on the right hand side is cool. They should scroll with the page though.
Also, browser resizing is causes some issues. There is a lot of left to right scrolling going on if I don't have my browser in full screen. All in all, a worthy upgrade to the visual styling of XDA.
I had to hit XDA Classic for a moment and whoa... I think I was just transported to 2006!
I didn't know this. Just switched the theme (on the bottom of each page). I like it because the FB, G+, YT-Icons are not wasting space.
And it looks great. Thanks for this hint.
Feels nice .. noticed it only after your post ..
Thanks for letting us know mate...
It is very nice and clean
I don't like the font it's too narrow and difficult to read
After using it for a while I am not to sure I like the grey on white... something is missing, but after all it is only a beta so we shall have to see how the theme develops!
I like it but feel that its somehow to cluttered. Maybe some work on the colour scheme would help correct this. Still really like it though
Thanks for pointing it out, haven´t seen it yet.
What I like:
- Specs in the device "root" directory - just a nice addon!
- Portal posts on the right side - nice!
What I dislike:
- yellow buttons (e.g. "quote")...much too distracting color!
- my eyes are getting tired by the font
All in all: The "old" style is very effectice and clean...the beta seems to be too colorful & distracting for me

Yeah, the flat grey reminds me of something from the 90s, which is no bueno. I also think it's way to cluttered at the moment, and they should concentrate on making it easy to use and more streamlined.
But it's still beta, and clearly unfinished, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I don't like it so I switched back to XDA 2010. The 2013 theme seems like it was made in the early 2000s, with its cluttered UI and white/grey tone.
I like the idea, it's very modern, but it's too white. It kind of hurts my eyes after all the years looking at the other design haha.
didn't know it was out.
Will try and let you know
I like it, except for the device picture and specs in the root directory.
It looks nice, but every time I go to the root directory to switch between subforums, I have to scroll down to go to the sub forum I want to read.
I would guess 99% of the people that frequent these forums know the specs of the device they are reading about.
Hell I use the original one...the newer ones are too bright for my eyes.
Sent from my GT-N7000
Not too bad but needs more definition
In general the theme is pretty good but as others have mentioned it is very white.
In my opinion the pale nature makes it more difficult to seperate between the various elements of the page. This in turn makes it more difficult for the eye to quickly find the information that it is looking for ie the contents of each post.
I also agree that the page becomes difficult to read after a while due to the combination of the colours and the font/fontsize.
Cheers Roy
Not really a fan of the sidebar. Apart from that, looks clean. 7/10, would use.
