Just curious what you guys would suggest for changes. I realize everyone is different, but hearing some suggestions would be nice.

The icons I found from this post from XDA. (thank you XDA user mikebeecham)
The background is from AndroidCentral. I typically roll black... always come back to this.
The ROM is Onyx 2.1 via Team Whiskey (leaked 2.2).
The 1x1 weather widget is Beautiful Widgets (I really do not like the 4x2 style).
I only have ONE screen... LP lets you have 15 icons at the bottom, that have swype gestures so there are really 30 apps I can open with nothing on my desktop and not opening the app drawer.
I find myself chocked full of lameness, in the sense that I rarely deviate from stock. About the only areas where I bother to customize is wallpapers and ringtones, though I have a massive collection of both courtesy of Ringdroid and Google image search.
And even there it seems that I tend to think a bit narrowly. Most all of my wallpapers are either artwork of Audrey Kawasaki or Sumi Keiichi.
Currently running TW's Obsidian v2...Heck, even my screen layout and icon positions have become a matter of course. I've kept my screen layout pretty much identical since July regardless of firmware.

I would...but it's actually REALLY A LOT LOL.
Furthermore it's stuff that is too easy to find if you understand how to use Google's Image search. Though wallpapers in our screen's native format are harder to come by (960x800), the aspect ratio of 1280x1024 traditional desktop wallpapers is nearly identical (1.2, compared to 1.25). An app like Wallpaper Set And Save will fit these with no discernible distortion.
In other words, I'm so lazy that I do not break out Irfanview and Gimp to custom resize, I just use backgrounds optimized for the 1280x1024 desktop resolution. Making that one change though opens up a world of millions of wallpapers to those like me who would rather look for new and interesting stuff than spend all day in image editing software resizing things....
Lazy I be.
Makes a lot of sense actually, thanks. Never really understood the point of those apps.
It reminded me of what your rockin

haha, that's awesome. Did you find that on androidcentral?
This background is hysterical to me.
And here are a few more that I found recently from either Google Images, XDA or Team Whiskeys site:

I like it... I am more stock Guy.. not sure why so many people hate the TouchWiz UI, I love the features and have not found it to cause me any issues.
I am waiting the segmented Battery to get posted over to FROYO and a nice shade bar to come along but here is my setup.
Pretty simple but I don't feel I am lacking anything.

Since I've had my DZ I have been mildly impressed with the fade-out effect when closing applications, compared to what I had on my old Desire. I'm also now running ADW EX Launcher and the transition effects it provides when moving from homescreen to homescreen are nothing short of awesome!
As well as knowing my phone's OS is technically advanced compared to others (iOS, WP7), I'm really looking now to make everything about it as beautiful, slick, futuristic and flashy as possible.I want iPhone/WP7 owners to pick up my phone and go "WOW!" Any suggestions?
EDIT: I'm looking for widgets, apps and modifications that will take my phone to the next level.
I want this Surfcube Browser on Android...
You can try some live wallpapers, such as the fish tank and there area bunch of matrix wallpapers.
Yeah, live wallpapers are good - definitely something that iOS and WP7 can't do.
I've been browsing around the other forums and I think I just need some nice animations, along these lines
Perhaps I need to go and hassle some ROM chefs to add some of that stuff into their Sense ROMs.
Any other suggestions? I'm quite missing my Sense widgets (cos I'm using a replacement launcher).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814072
Check out that thread and it will really add some eye candy to your phone. The transitions can be applied through metamorph. Just make sure the transitions.xml file is there and apply it and the transitions should be working, may require a reboot though.

To be really really honest, I'd rather have no transition effects at all and have the thing open the next screen in 0.0000001 milliseconds then to have fancy shamcy transitions and have it delay like 2 seconds or 3 seconds for it to go to the next screen.
I mean, we are not exactly in elementary school anymore where we are all impressed with fancy transitions on the phone and on power points...

Speak for yourself my friend, but I AM impressed with fancy shmancy transitions
Isn't it great that Android can accommodate us both!
And despite my phone being no slouch, until it really CAN open apps instantaneously, I'd rather kill that 0.25sec with something nice to look at, than a briefly blank screen.

oops... never mind.
ok so i got a bit bored doing my Law Case Study so i quickly chucked together this Google talk widget concept.
its very much in the zune/windows phone 7 look but at the same time i tried to make it match the new gingerbread colours and be comprised of very minimal elements to make it easier for people who like to skin things
in my mind it works very simply, the bottom displays a series of dots each dot represents a contact to switch between contacts you simply swipe left / right along the contacts gmail at the bottom (localised swipe to prevent issues with home screens).
you type in the top box black represents incomming the grey / white represents outgoing. green dot is obviously status (contemplating making contact dots at bottom represent status colours to)

well if you would like to put me down as a designer you can , but that's about as far as my usefulness will probably go on your project as there is no way id be able to code anything for a very very long time.
ideally i would like a code partner lol so i could design blah blah they can make it work then we can split market profit LOL!, ahh dreams
You can start designing for the dialer application. MDPI and HDPI must be done. Just tell me when you're done.
Omg that looks awesome. I was hoping someone could FINALLY make a gTalk widget of some sort considering it's my primary mode of communication.
Hopefully something arises from your concept. Will be monitoring and donating if something like this would come to fruition.
Wow, this would be awesome, one of the few apps that I'd actually pay a couple of quid for (as long as it was relatively bug free).
Times like this I wish I could code, would love to see this.
I'd love it too. Really raises questions as to why one isn't included in stock..
wow this widget would be badass.....
ill keep an eye out for it in the future
if only I knew coding id be happy to help..
let me know if you need any testers
Looks like a great concept, id love to test for it.

It will require the gtalk app to be hacked and a new api must be used to bring up the keyboard on homescreen and send typed letters/words to the widget.
btw: swiping left/right for changing contact won't work, it probably have to be implemented with two buttons.
And: The conversation list will probably have to grow from bottom to top so you can see what you are typing..
this widget is really needed ^_^
As a real Android AppWidget, this seems quite impossible.
Read the docs and you'll see how limited android app widgets are.
It is possible to integrate it in a launcher's code directly, and I would love to see it somewhere eventually. Nice design
And?
Scrollable widgets have also been impossible until developers agreed on a proprietary scrollable widgets api.
I'd love to see some sort of popup rather than a widget. If you're already going to press home and scroll over to a widget to check/send messages, it isn't much more work to just open the app. But if you could make some sort of popup that could come up over any part of the screen, that would be much less work and actually be useful.

Thanks to an XDA user named Lef.teris here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970643&page=1, the system dump for the Sony Xperia Arc has been posted. Another user named Paolo599 ripped the home launcher (called Sony Ericsson Home)... this can be found:
http://www.multiupload.com/2YETWLF218
I've been using it for the last 20 minutes with no force closes. Sony decoupled it's launcher with it's Time and Mediascape apps, so I'm guessing this is why it's relatively pain free to use.
Try it out, it's very cool. You can drag and drop apps into the dockbar and it has a folder management system FOR the dockbar. 5 screens. Very clean looking. It's app drawer also has "pages" as well. Only thing I see wrong is that it's made for slightly bigger phones because the dock text is cut off.
Lemme know how you like it. I don't know if the demand is there, but I'm sure if the home works this good- all we need to grab is the walls and the sounds and we can transform the look of our Vibrant's pretty fast.

Nice, got any screenshots?
Of it in action on my phone? No. But this is what it generally looks like minus the widgets and the dock text (it's made for higher res phones) http://topnews.net.nz/images/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-01.jpg
That's pretty clean.. I like the silver battery mod.
Pretty cool, always nice to have new options. It does look a little cut off at the bottom though.
Well, according to the Arc section- Sony has made everything in the launcher open source to distribute and mod so maybe someone can mess with the resolution?
Maybe a full on port?
In the short time you've been using it did you notice any selling points of the launcher beyond the look of it?

Folders, the app drawer looks nice, at least unique with custom ordering. Btw, its free, small, and you can switch off at any time, why do you need to be sold?
I dont need to be sold. Every launcher has its own set of features.. Was wondering what this launcher had.

The bottom dock icon doesn't line up. Maybe just mine. Posted some screenshots of the launcher.

The bottom doesn't line up because the Arc has a higher resolution than our phones. A dev is going to have to mess with it if they want it to be perfect.
I'm gonna add a screenshot or two of yours to the main post and give you credit.

no problem sir. i hope one of our themers here can give this a edit to make the icon docks line up.
Flashed it earlier.. I like how the app drawer and how the dock lets you have folders. If the dock were black and wasnt so tall id rock this over adw
Same here. I love how we can do this with android.

I just stumbled across this today and so far I really like it. I was using the Trebuchet launcher on Thor's ICS v96, and although it does have a lot of customization it is slightly laggy. So far Go Launcher HD is running super smooth with no noticeable lag.

It appears there is very minimal options available (It is a BETA, I will forgive them)
Themeing is not a option, yet.. Maybe keep an eye out.
I like the new dock, but they need to use more of the screen for available widgets, utilizing ALL of the screen.
I can compare say, Stock Launcher, to GoLauncher Ex, where the margins on the side are smaller, giving more space, maybe I am insane. At this stage, I have set up something, but I am not a huge fan and will go back to GoLauncherEX until they sort out the theme issue and give us more options. Hopefully they can implement all those of the normal EX and maybe some more? EG, making wallpapers work better (most of us are faced to use Multipicture Live to correct incorrect showing wallpaper)
in short, it is good, but not great.. yet. Hopefully with updates, this is fixed
It's only a beta but so far so good. I'm sure themes will be an option down the line, and I agree that the top and bottom margins are way too big.
Really like it can't wait to see what happens next really sleek and fast launcher compared to the phone ver. On tablets...

Hello folks.
I was curios about what Sony have on their sleeve, and i did have some thoughts and questions regarding the Sony Lollipop update. Therefor I i asked @SonyXperia on twitter if they are getting a new UI aside with the lollipop update. They replied with this:

supposedly it should look similar to 4.4.4
but this is based off a video upon one of the Sony YouTube channels
Yeah, but their can be some UI changes, like many OEM´s did e.g. Motorola, LG and Samsung.

I really never thought i would say it but samsung UI looks quite good on Lollipop, atleast the status bar colour change and recent cards stacks have been implemented nicely, could've done better with the notification and quick settings. HTC seems to have completely removed everything material. its all greyed out.
Here's to hoping sony doesn't remove too much material design out from there update. :beer:

That of course will be foolish. Sony's UI while is mostly only skin deep, but it keeps the OS fluid and working smooth. what i would love to see is its theming system being improved. more on the tracks of like CM theme engine. even Samsung is saying it will allow users to change theme in future. while Sony already has a theming system, it just changing colour for most part, and with almost no change in notification panels or even icons for that matter. if they can do that while retaining the fluidity of the current version, that will be awesome.
I will like to see more "flatness" or more lollipop inspired theming without implemting much of AOSP. Like lollipop on Touchwiz, i actually like it very much, and LG´s G3 UI, it´s also very nice and cool. I will like to see something similar on Sony´s lollipop update.
Lollipop is like Android design from Gingerbread, there was most black and now most blue. Sammy design Looks like the hole System is blue.
I actually like Touchwiz even if it´s blue. But i think they could maybe blend more colors in
I'm so expecting
