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
Hello, I own a epic 4g and I had a quick question regarding the nexus s screen and figured it would be better to ask it here because you guys would know more about it. My girlfriend bought a nexus s and I noticed that colors on the screen are smoother. Is this a UI thing, or is there something different about the screen.

you can flash a kernel with Voodoo color and it should change it a little bit
Our froyo source isn't going to be out for a while. And I don't want to go back to eclair, so I guess I will wait. Heh, I'm kinda hoping its a GB change though.

Its mainly GB and the GB launcher. You could push the GB launcher and your phone should be just as smooth screen wise, such as scrolling through screens. I came from the vibrant. As far as everything else, I'm not so sure.

I've never used it on the Atrix. Bought it when it came out. but it just drained my Desire!
Plus i have always prefered a more stock look. But no denying its really smooth and has fantastic looks.
I use it as well, i like the look of it, it really has some cool eye candy. I haven't noticed too much of a battery drain, wish it had some more widgets though
I have been using it March. I have no complaints. I switch launchers from time to time to try something else but I always come back to sod shell 3d. Espierlauncher is the only other launcher I like on the atrix and I use that to make my wife and friends mad since they all have iPhones. I am running. CM7 and I don't see any extra battery drain with this launcher. Assonance as they make it available for tablets my eeepad will be running it

It sucks. It randomly closes and then when hitting home button has to reload. Too bad because everything else works top notch and its amazing looking.

I used it way back when I had Windows Mobile and I loved it, but for some reason I don't feel it's the same on Android.
Don't get me wrong, it runs good on the Atrix, but it feels like overkill for a launcher.
Maybe if it had more useful widgets I would give it another try.
I always come back to Launcher Pro.
PS. Btw, it's real name is SPB Mobile Shell 3D ;-)

Oh well I did. I'm not paying 15$ for a launcher regardless specially this one its got a few nice Widgets yea true but wat is so special that makes it cost 3-4x as much as others ?
Sent from my Atrix-4G, stock 2.3.4 (rooted)
I'd like to try it, but I could never justify $15.00 for a home replacement launcher or almost anything in the app market.
It is a nice launcher, but how customizable it isn't keeps me from using it regularly. Not to mention it frequently crashes with no error, just a black screen then says 'SPB shell is loading...' Navigation and transitions are generic and redundant in some cases. Most of the SPB widgets look nice, but leave a lot to be desired. Updates are infrequent and all the major problems have yet to be resolved.
Its a nice product to demonstrate a futuristic-looking phone but in terms of functionality, it's like putting the steering wheel in the glovebox of a car.
If you haven't checked out Go Launcher recently, I highly encourage it. 100% free, developers update the app at a feverish pace, and it is amazingly customizable.
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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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

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!

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
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 ...

Apparently it's going. I will really miss it. I don't think there is any need for two thick black bars on a 7 inch device. I like having the extra space and I like the aesthetics of the tablet UI, especially with a reduced nav bar. I don't know why they are removing tablet UI and if the devs can do anything about it. I hope they can! Will you miss it too or is it just me?
Edit: Turns out it's just a rumour, phew!
Most will miss the 10" tablet UI but honestly, I don't expect that I will. The centered buttons are not that big a deal and the "Odd" way the Nexus 7's notification system lurks around, unobtrusive enough that I probably won't care.
I will be more interested in things like Miracast support and web browsing performance than I will be in the UI changes.

There are a bunch of ROMs with tablet UI actually. I'm using smooth ROM with it and its irreplaceable
I know, I'm on PA, but once the update kicks in the ROMs won't have tablet UI. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I thought I would hate it when I first saw it
But honestly, I like it. I was forced to use it for the first month before I rooted my n7, and I got used to it. Then I installed a tabui ROM and imo it doesn't work properly on a 7 inch screen. I know a lot will disagree but I am just sayin
I use the normal phone ui now, its just more consistent and easier to use for me. If I want more screen space, I will remove the bars with 'expand desktop' on the ROMs I use

things i hate about standard nexus 7 UI
no quick access to brightness. in tablet UI i can quickly tap the time in lower left hand corner and adjust brightness on the fly.. cant do that with nexus 7 UI
i hate how i dont get Tablet APPs and instead get the phone app for youtube gmail etc..
those are the only things that make me to to tablet ui..
if i could have quick access to Brightness AND native tablet youtube and gmail apps in the standard nexus 7 UI then id be fine.
i really do love the expanded youtube app in tablet UI 4 nice rows in portrait mode compared to phone youtube app. yuck.
Yea the tablet mode is supreme. If it doesn't "work" right then it isn't implemented right. EOS has it so stupidly simple that it is a godsend. You can enable/disable it on the fly and it doesn't screw with your other apps. Just combines the bars into 1.
The notification pulldown menu on the stock UI is horrible. Needs fullscreen or something. Looks tacked on like an afterthought.
I will be disappointed once 4.2 hits and it goes away. Remember tablet UI has to be present to unlock it. Google may remove it completely to streamline their OSs.
