Playstation XMB Android launcher - Android Software Development

I love the way the Playstation XMB looks so I was wondering would anyone else want a launcher that looks like that. I'm currently working on Slick UI so it wouldn't be for awhile that I start looking into it but would anyone else like this?

xmb ui
I for one would love a launcher like that. It would be intersting to see how you would integrate that with the android system.

Love how the ui looks on the PSP and ps3 i got both but would love to have my phone like that as well, an good luck u need a tester let me know

i too would like to have UI like the ps3 xmb. you need a tester let me know as well.

Well, sections on the XMB (like Settings, Game, Video, etc.) are like homescreens on Android (containing shortcuts).
And you already have the united wallpaper ^^
So I think it would be great, but not revolutionary. Unless you surprise us ?

I would definitely pay for this app and am willing to help test it out. I am a video game tester so testing ui its very easy for me.

I found it
That launcher is excellent. Just a shame you can't use HTC widgets with it
Yer looks nice,
shame only 3 screens instead of normal 7.
Plus yer same cant use htc widgets.
Love the bottom short cuts though.
You can have 7 homescreens, actually. You just have to change a setting. I've been using it for a while now and I prefer it to HTC's launcher. I don't even miss the HTC widgets!
yeah you can deffo have 7 screens if you want. personally i feel 5 is enough but its there if you need em
Thanks for the link to the Mario wallpaper, very nice!

New android market first impressions

i just saw the new update for the market and it looks completely different, but much cleaner and sleeker in my opinion what do yall think?
heres the market in action source phonedog.com

Of I could charge books and movies to my sprint account like I could for apps it would be perfect

i would imagine you would be able to in the video its just like buying an app.
Looks like it was inspired by WinMo. But I like it a lot more than the current layout

Just installed it and it is working fine.
Here is the thread it is in. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15597625#post15597625
Its working fine for me but I just don't know about it, it almost feels sluggish after playing with it I kind of like the old ui better
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yea the new market feels sluggish, as for the ui look it is nice and different.
Downloaded the new market last night and installed it on my Hero. I love the new look and it moves and processes much quicker for me. Everything working great HERE!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
Installed and loving it. A little sluggish but quite functional. Maybe it could be included in the CM nightlies (well after a bit of testing)?
the market should just update itself over time for devices on 2.2 and up.
The new market is the shiznit. If someone wants the old one (and can't use the search button) I stil have the transparent BG green 2.3.6 that pendo made.
i actually liked the original 1.5 blacked out market lol.
Not a big fan of the new market ... not 100% sure why, the layout seems a little weird to me

Custom User Interfaces

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.

Launcher suggestions

Hey anyone have some nice ones they know of with nice themes? I refuse to use go launcher because it has a cluttered menu. I want simple like stock but fast and smooth and themed like ics or sense 4.0
Adw has very nice ics themes

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

The Holo Launcher is very ICS.

You'd have to use a launcher like go or adw and use a sense theme. Try the play store. Nexus is pure android with no overlays, for most people that's why it's so great
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
yeah i tried that, nothing comes even close
If you're using a cyanogen or aokp rom you can apply the sense theme. I thinks its just what you're looking for. It's not included nor free, but out there and working even though it gives you the error when applying.
