Sorry if this has been brought up before but ever since I bought a G1 (I pre-ordered that phone as well) I always wondered if android was ever going to get a rotation transition. You know like the one that wm7 phones have when you switch between landscape and portrait. ios devices have it as well. Can rom developers add stuff like that to their roms? This is just me being curious.

Probably something that Google would have to provide, as it would have to be platform-wide. But really, is this even necessary?
I never liked how choppy it looked when switching orientation. I like smooth transitions into things. Isn't necessary but would make android look a little smoother.

Probably a clever launcher/theme to make it look like that. IIRC the IOS keyboard doesn't look like that.

The ios keyboard does look like that, that is the same keyboard, very impressive.
This has what to do with Nexus One? This should have been posted in the forum where trashed posts go.

Well the wallpaper scrolls with the screen so its definitely a theme, runs pretty smooth though.
The description states it is not a port, it is a replica of the iOS that is nearly identical but has some issues. This is a fantastic job, but ultimately sort of pointless.
pretty good replica.
may impress some of the iDiots.
Also, if I recall from my 3GS... When you access spotlight, the rest of the screen darkens... other than that and scrolling wallpaper, it looks to be a pretty acurate replica.
Really, though, the only use I would have for iOS on my Android is - to run the few apps that still haven't been built for Android. And no amount of skinning is going to make an iClone run those apps
On every Rom I've tried (excluding sense Roms; they don't have handy animations, and I personally hate Sense.) Live Wallpapers lag the launcher. Whether it's the app drawer zoom or scrolling, it has a slight, but very annoying, lag. Is there any possible way to fix this? I love live wallpapers and I love the gingerbread launcher animations, but they don't play nice on my Leo. Anyone get it nice and smooth? This is making me really want a Nexus S lol. Thanks.

I rarely use Live wallpapers as they drain the battery big style but in answer to your question no i don't believe there is a fix yet for the lag you are talking about although i stand corrected on that.
I think it's the Adreno. Lwps worked perfect on my gt540, which had one of the mid end pvr gpus I believe.

Ok, I really am not liking Sense UI anymore. I don't really like MIUI or Vanilla Gingerbread. I would like to know where to begin in creating my own custom user interface to run over Gingerbread. Or perhaps a simpler task would be porting over other user interfaces from Motorola and Samsung to run over Gingerbread.

Why not use go launcher or adw or launcher pro. They will replace sense...

Hmm, never thought about that. Nice idea. But I guess my main purpose in making this was to see if anyone has (and can help me) created my own custom UI. It'd be nice I guess.

First you would need to learn Java and C+ coding. Next I would learn Linux as android is Linux and you will need the knowledge to work on the UI.
Have a good look through the 'post your homescreen' thread. There's a wealth of inspiration in there. Have a look in the widget thread too.
Unless i'm wrong it's not the UI that you want to change as such, but what we'd call a Layout. For all intents and purposes it's the same thing. but UI is software whereas layout is graphical. End result being you want homescreens that look nice right?
Good Launcher+Good Widgets+Wallaper+Imagination and you'd be surprised how good you can make your device look. Some of what i see in the Homescreen thread are works of art!

Well, What I really want to do is make my own thing. I mean a couple of starter ideas,
- 6 basic home screens (in a cube shape) you can change when slid vertically or horizontally
- 2-4 (based on how many you want) "tabs" on the side of choice that can hold apps, home screens would mainly be for widgets, can also be used for apps though.
I don't know, Its just ideas I wanted to be able to put into my own UI. I think I may get into coding to make my own UI.
Check out an open source launcher, it will give you an idea of how to do crap, beyond whatever is in the API docs. I think ADW is open sourced.

I would start with flashing a non sense ROM. Thus you'll get rid of sense bloat and will get a stock standard launcher or any other customizable launcher. Just look through available Roms. Personally I'd recommend CM 7.

Hey Guys!
So I've been messing around with trying some of the new ICS ROMs for my HD2, but keep coming back to Typhoon CyanogenMod. I'm down for taking another crack at an ICS ROM, but one of the most infuriating things is the horizontal app panels. I vastly prefer the kinetic scrolling app drawer of the earlier builds; I don't need to see every set of apps when they're listed alphabetically and I know the one I want starts with a 'W'.
Is there a known mod, tweak, patch, update, or customization widget I can use to get a vertically scrolling app drawer back in ICS?
Thanks =)
Joey
Would one of these gingerbread launchers work on ics like adw or similar launchers I thought I read of ppl using them I haven't tried I kinda like the vertical scroll hope this helps

Hey just wondering, when htc release jelly bean for the one x, would it be possible to make a sense 4 custom ROM for the nexus 7 somehow, seeing as they have similar processors, ram and their screen resolution s are not that different?

You want a manufacturer skin over stock?!
Every android device I have ever owned, someone has always wanted a sense ROM. I just don't get it. Sense is a battery and performance nightmare from my experience. Of the two HTC devices that I have owned, the FIRST thing I did on each is install a non-sense ROM.

I hate Sense with a passion, I don't know why you would want it... everyone has different tastes, I guess

I love sense, but it probably isn't possible.

Sense on the Nexus 7 would be awesome. I know it can be a battery/cpu hog or whatever but seriously, I'm pretty sure the Nexus 7 could hardware could handle it. Sense has so many nice features that I miss. The UI is gorgeous (subjective, I know), the included widgets are fantastic especially the clock, and small things like the fact that navigation is linked to calendar events so you can just bring up an event in your calendar and then click on the location and it will take you there.
Edit: nearly forgot to mention the great music player, and the latest keyboard is main thing I miss.
Have no idea if it would be possible, but I would LOVE to see a sense rom for the nexus. What about a ported Flyer rom? I have no idea about development though so forgive me if it would be impossible.
I like sense
But the screen is a different resolution which will make it harder
Also things will look really really big
Best shot at a port will be if HTC release a tablet with sense and the same resolution as ours, along with a tegra
Also the flyer is a lower resolution

The resolution is basically the name as the one x is it not? Also, the hardware is pretty similar, tegra included. I don't think it would be that difficult to get a one x ROM going on the nexus? I wish I could do it myself!

Well sense 4 looks and feels great in my opinion. ( yeah it would be worse probably ) but it is pretty cool!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can download Sense Themes and launchers and pretty much be set. Their 3rd party apps are buggy at best. My coworker constantly has problems with his HTC dialer and email apps.
Sense pretty much is just a launcher with special Widgets... and a couple of custom apps.

What launcher does the sense 4 effect?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
None can match Sense 3.x or 4 in overall cohesiveness and polish. All the clock widgets that try and copy the sense clock are subpar imitations. You can try to give your phone the sense look but it will never be as nice. I challenge anyone to screenshot their phone/tablet to prove that it can be done!

Hi,
Sorry to revive this post, but I just got my Nexus 7 and the first thing I miss so much is the Sense UI of my HTC One X ...
I buy HTC since the TyTN, and had the Touch HD, HD2, Sensation XE and now One X. Sense came with the Touch HD, and one main reason I keep buying HTC is the Sense layer (over their phone design that I still find better than other brands).
I never had issues so far with Sense since 4 years of using Sense on all these phones ...
I wonder if the Sense launcher can be output of an HTC Rom as an APK to install on other devices ?
While it may be possible to get sense working on a Nexus 7, it would be a ridiculous amount of work. I understand the request though as I used to love Sense. These days it's more like an ex girlfriend. I have fond memories of it but would never consider going back to it.

LOL, I love your comparison with "ex-girlfriend"
Anyway, I'll try to live differently with the Nexus 7 ... Hope I'll find a nive widget for time/date/weather ...
