I downloaded the app https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&feature=search_result
I then set it to 220 and I got the Gingerbread Lockscreen and the launcher =D

Edit:
The only thing that sucks is that we don't have any permanent buttons to call the menu/settings

Yeah, I thought this was awesome when I read that story, but then thought about the hard keys. There must be some hack somewhere for that...

Well there are people who liked the original launcher...so some people will want Gingerbread instead of Honeycomb...
Also one of the things I liked the most was decreasing the dpi and making honeycomb icons smaller and the browser could do full screens without scrolling to the left or right

Well, considering 95% of the complaints on this forum are because of Honeycomb, it makes sense, right?

Yeah, but it is just changing the UI not the actual underlying system. So it is still Honeycomb there.

This is a nice UI from a gingerbread device Infobar A01 from Japan ,
Mixed WP7 and Android feel. Is there any similar launcher?
Saw this on the Android GAF thread. Looks super awesome. Nice to see a OEM/Manafactuer make a totally different UI as opposed to Sense/TouchWiz etc which barely changes the style of Android
love it!!
ok im moving to japan now! bye
Someone absolutely needs to make a launcher out of this. please.
Very nice

I've been keeping a close eye on Fipplr, and recently pinged the CEO/Founder of the company behind it since I hadn't heard from her in a while. She told me that because of legal concerns, they decided to modify the look and feel. I'm still super excited for it though, and she's promised to keep me updated and let me know when they have any renders/details of the new style.

The UI in the video has a WM 6.1 system bar on top. I wouldn't get your hopes up for this on Android just yet.

Wouldn't use it, really don't like it.
Knowing me I'd want all my tools/games on the main screen and there would be too much scrolling. I don't see how that's any better then what's currently out there.

That's prettyy much like a totally black Android toolbar with white icons... and any way, the phone advertised IS an Android phone with a June(??) release date (hopefully).
Thats ugly, the screen is too crowded, everything is too fat and bulky, theres no room for a wallpaper, vertical scrolling is boring, and the category title bars are too thick

Yes, that's moto blur. Froyo can't use dual core right now, Gingerbread can't either, but will be much better at using the resources it can use.

So when CM7 is available this phone should be a lot faster?
you can make this alot better now by downloading one of the other launchers from the market place. i posted about this problem only a week or so ago as i was a new atrix user also. I have downloaded ADW EX and it has made the phone a lot faster now.
I've tried ADW and Zeam and my Atrix still lags. Lets hope gingerbread can fix this, as it is completely unacceptable that a dual core phone lags this way when top single core phones don't lag like this (at least my Galaxy S didn't).
Motorola is not good in software development. You have to thanks because you can unlock your bootloader and in the future, it's going to be possible to put the rom you want and put the motoblur in the garbage.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Im rooted with launcher pro. Live wallpapers always make my launcher lag bad. I go back to static wallpaper and its fast again. Just a bandaid fix till better roms are out.

Ehh, not a big fan of the round icons. I still like Sense, just not as much since all of the sense reboots I used to get before flashing MIUI.
HTC saying 3.5 will be compatible with all of there handsets not just their high range phones. Would be nice to see this happen. Sense is getting nicer and nicer but I run cm7 for the speed and vanilla look

And what is this obsession with weather updates all over Sense? Are they vampires who need to know the exact status of the sun before they can go outside?

I agree with you on the vanilla part. However there are something's of sense that I like. Like the text selector I think it is superior to aosp. I would love to run a sense 3.0 rom without the lockscreen. That ring annoys the crap out of me.

Don't get me wrong. When I had my hero I was in love with sense. Its shiney and pretty and has some nice features but I need the snappiness to go with it

I <3 Sense, it's just fluid and classy looking to me. But different strokes for different folks right? I run AOSP and find myself trying to make it mimic Sense, what's the point in me doing that?
I like sense 2

Synergy has the option to use the AOSP lockscreen instead (found in settings/display)...if that's what you prefer.

True... but doesn't this defeat a large part of the point of MIUI?
