[Rada-Dash] Launcher Design

Hey everyone. I'm working on a new launcher for my T-Mobile Dash (S620). Its in its infant stages. i have a few sketches, and 1 fleshed out concept. I'd like to get some feedback and see what y'all think. The pin-wheel above the clock would rotate to show day and night. It was inspired a bit by the layout of the xbox 360 dashboard... and every other according menu ever made (microsoft wasnt first)
codename: Rada-Dash

love your mock up. Imo, I would see what those tabs cascading from highest on left to lowest on the right might look like. then make every one a different color- user customizable even. I really dig what you got there othrwise great work.

I don't have a dash, but that looks pretty sweet. I would use it if I did and I do have a few friends with Dashes and I would definitely let them know about this.

kewl one waiting bro any expected date for release

I have a little bit of documentation reading to do before i get started on development. I'll try to keep this thread updated for y'all. I'd love to work along side someone who knows what their doing. i can write actionscript and parse xml all day long... What will hold me up this project, is my unfamiliarity with developing software for wm6.

looks great.. hope to try it soon..

Radakast,
Looks good. Hope to see the finished article soon.

Looks like the blade style like the xbox360 uses. Nice! This would be an awsome launcher for my 8525. I must commend you on taking the launcher gui in a different direction. Most people are stuck in the Diamond/Iphone theme rut and its causing a lot of repetitive results. Enough of my babbling. I definitely will be keeping an eye on the development of this launcher.

Brilliant idea! Your design is way too dark however.
Seriously one of the best home screen concepts!

Forgive my ignorance but is your device a smartphone? What program will you use to develop your screen? Having just left a smartphone (Moto Q) I was under the impression that the homescreen customization is limited except for a few programs (i.e. SBSH Facade, phoneAlarm). If there is hope for homescreen customization, i'm all for it. I am just curious how it is possible.

Hey guys. I spent a few hours working on this this weekend. thanks for everyone's replys
@Vision77
Thank you. I'm a web interface designer, and im trying to bring alittle bit of that action to the smart phone platform.
@N1c0_ds
Yes it is way to dark. I designed it in my pitch black room at 2 in the morning and it looked plenty bright. I made a demo for my phone (linked below) and i was tryign to show it off to people yesterday and had to cup my hand over it... not good! my next revision will be much lighter.
@jerkules
You are forgiven. Its written in Flash Lite (Targeted Flash Player 7 written with Actionscript 2). I can blabber on and on about the technical abilities of flash player 7, but I'll spare you. pretty much its going to work like this:
dash.exe will be written in vb or c# and will work as the glue between the phone's api and flash. it will interpret the phone's commands (ie: display that you have missed a call) and my flash api (which will be open source when im done so you can all make custom phone aps in flash...) will update the flash movie with the new information. and then wm6.1 will be told to use dash.exe instead of regular home.exe.
And now for the update.
I'm really excited for this project. yall seem to enjoy it so ive added it to my stack of things to work on.. Here is the progress i've made
And because its made in Flash. i can post a real example, not just screenshots of it.
http://www.motionharvest.com/forums/xda/dash/radadash/examples/clock_and_sliding/
I've made a small movie too. this examplifies N1c0_ds analysis that its too dark. im also not going to win any cinematic awards for my camera work.

enjoy

reserved for possible update

Great Idea!!! i really like it, if i may just make a suggestion, maybe on the slider for texts, have some type of notification that there are unread texts. maybe something for missed calls as well? cant wait to see where this is going. Good luck!!

Great idea, love simplistic designs. If you need any help with the flash stuff I would suggest twolf, he's done really great work with flash for throttle launcher.

I've just seen this & I must say it looks really interesting. Has there been anymore progress on this recently?

To the OP - are you able to update us on progress please?
Thanks

Those of you, who have been on my dialpad skins thread, already know I've been skinning various items on my device to rep my team (Die Hard Eagles Fan!). I've skinned the analog clock used in cht. Once again, I liked the way it looked so much, I decided to make them for every NFL team and share. They are all installed using black hands.
I've added a 2nd set (v2) They all contain white hands that are set 75% transparency. If you'd like a different color for the hands, leave me a request and i'll see what i can do. Let me know what you guys think of them. Enjoy..
Only works if Cookie's Home Tab is installed.
EDIT:Here's a cab for the original cht clock.

Great work. Thanks.
One comment though - When I uninstall your cab, it removes the analog clock altogether. It does not restore the original clock. Fortunately, before installing your cab, I backed up the 4 files that it overwrites inside \Windows directory.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did set the cabs to allow uninstall so i don't know why it erases all the files upon uninstall. I attached the original clock cab to the first post for those that want to revert back.

Thank you for your effort.

Your welcome my friend! If there is any other type of clock you'd like let me know. Enjoy..

Hey ezzie, check out these clocks I put together for ya with images I had gathered a while back. I had plans on making a few different ferret skins and never got around to it. I kinda got back into clock mode for alil there cause of making the basketball jersey one's and thought it was a perfect time to at least make you a few of them. I had posted them on ppcgeeks a few days ago but I guess you didnt spot them yet. It won't hurt to post the here too and plus users here can have access to them as well. What do you think of that idea, would you like some different ferret skins? Sorry but didn't add the hands to the screenshots below. v1 & v3 have white hands and v2 has black ones. Enjoy..
v1..
v2..
v3..

Hey Thanks for this!!! I am going to be the envy of all my Iphone and Droid phone Jet fan friends this weekend at the Jets/Steeler game!! This is great!!!

[Boot_Animation] [HVGA] [Resized] Android vs. Apple (Vaudeville Android)

Note: I didn't create this, I "just" repacked, converted, scaled and corrected the settings. You can check the original author's thread here.
I repacked two versions of the boot animation.
The first one is a direct resize of the orginal. It is in fullscreen, but as a result of the resizement it will be a bit unscaled. Nothing major, but noticeable nonetheless.
The second one is a scaled resizement of the original. It is also in fullscreen, but completely scaled with the right proportions and framed.
I personally use and recommend this version as it is more beautiful, proportional and the visual experience isn't affected at all.
But anyway, they both work so it's up to you.

Download links:
Version 2 <-- You will probably want this version.
Version 1
How to install:
1. Rename the downloaded .zip ("ava_vx_bootanimation") to "bootanimation" (without the quotes).
1. Transfer it to the SD card.
2. Using a root explorer copy that file to "/data/local/" (set R/W permissions).
3. Reboot and enjoy!
How to unninstall:
1. Simply delete the file and the boot animation will revert to the original one.
2. Reboot and enjoy!
It is almost impossible to mess up with this but anyway, I am not responsible for whatever you do while using (or not) the instructions and files provided in this thread.
Press the thanks button if you liked! (And think that Android rulez!) ​

That actually made me laugh
Nice bootscreen tbh.

Awesome bro nice one...!!
I juz made my stock 2.3.3 beautiful!!

Hahaha genial man! Just installed it on my phone

Yeah, it definitely should work. If by some reason it doesn't, just delete the file and everything will be as before.

Sometimes I feel sorry for those brainwashed elitists... They can be so self-centered and narrow-minded that actually forget about how things should be. They like to think that the products they own are unique and exclusive but deep inside they know millions also own them. That must get them frustrated. They keep only showing the world the basic principle of unfounded segregation. Anyway, in the end its their loss.
BTW, I updated the links in the first post.

Great work, thanks for sharing!

Wow this is so funny! I'm getting this straight away!

Haha this is bad ass I can't wait to show my friends that have iPhones x)

Congrats!
Fun, clean and light. Very good!

It's just my opinion, and no, I doubt I could do any better, but that's why you won't see any art from me. I guess it's just the use of a common (and ugly) font like Times New Roman makes it look very unpolished. I like the use of color, but I personally find that boot screen to be quite ugly. I guess I shouldn't have been so rude in how I said it, so I apologize, but why threaten to not do any more just because of one person's remarks when you could instead use the criticism to improve your work. I guess I'm just spoiled by the work I've seen on other devices.

Repeat have you seen it running ?

doesn't change the font.

pacattack is back!!miss you bro(from htc evo)

...and exactly how does seeing it running change what I've said? Like cars10k said, it doesn't change the font, and in the end that's really what makes it look so amateurish. Also I can't install it as I'm not keen on voiding my warranty just yet only to get root. Perhaps an animated GIF would enlighten us, if you're so convinced that seeing it in motion will make any difference.
I guess just let me start over... nice boot animation, especially those wild colors, but you might want to think about changing the font to something more appealing than a font we've all been staring at for the last 22 years... it gives it a rather generic look.
There, that's a bit more constructive, and again, I apologize for being a douche... to me it honestly does look like how I described it originally, but I should have been more respectful in how I said that.

Thanks for your efforts Pacattack and thanks for taking the time to share it with everybody. Keep up the good work, your way, your style.

[BOOTANIMATION] Android L 60FPS 1080p

After lots of hours (I accept donations) I did all the frames lost of the android L bootanimation, so now it goes at 60fps (it used to go at 30fps). The change is huge.
You have to install the zip with a free app like Boot Animations in the Play Store. Don't use recovery!
bootanimation.zip original 30fps (Thanks Google)

bootanimation60.zip improved 60fps
New liter versions! Two liter versions with the original size and with a resized bigger one
If you have a different screen size go to: General Thread
I've been a lot of hours working on this. I would thank a lot if you buy me a beer: Beers Received: 40

Updated OP with images for compare (the difference in the device is even clearer). I did another version with less filesize (without losing quality) because I got lags in my nexus 4. If someone is interested in this version let me know here.
I can also make a bigger one in terms of pixels if it happens to be too small in your bigger-than-nexus-4 screens

Flash or replace in the media folder ?

Just check out the .zip file. It's not to be flashed. Place in /system/media or /data/local. Not sure why your phone would be boot looping. It wouldn't even flash if you tried.

Hey Brother! ...running L preview here. I downloaded bootanimation60.zip and placed it in the media folder!! Works absolutely perfect. Mucho props to the OP! Wish i had $$ to buy him a beer

WOW, renamed it from bootanimation60 to bootanimation, rebooted it twice to watch it, i liked how smooth it is when making the word android.
This animation should be the standard and the file isnt big either.

Very very good work!!

Thanks all for the feedback, I've uploaded a new version much liter (without losing quality). More details in the OP.
I need someone tell me if the 60fps version is smaller in your screen than the original one in the L preview.
Apart from that, all I uploaded are 720p instead of 1080p. If I receive enough donations I will make the 60fps for the 1080p version.

This is awesome. :good:

Amazing!

Yea it is smaller. I'm not sure what I should resize it to to fit.

I don't like that "donate and I will do more" thing. It is not the xda spirit.

You can make it bigger changing the resolution in the txt file inside the zip. I will do this and upload again but it will lose sharpness cause it is 720p not real 1080p. As I said I'm thinking in doing a real 1080p one.

It has an explanation: I did this animation for me and my nexus 4, and then I thinked why not to share (and If a get a few beers better ). That is very different from working for free for a 1080p version that I will not use, I'm a good guy but not a stupid one

Updated OP with new version v2big. This new version has the correct size but expect some loose of shapness. More info in the op.
Please confirm that it works as expected.

First of all I appreciate your work.
But you can sweeten the pill as you want, these would be payments, not donations. Donations = you create something and I want to reward you for your efforts; payments = I give you something (money in this case) to receive something else from you.
And payments are not well-seen (or accepted) here.

This is for all: Because I think I've been bad interpreted I want to clarify that I only want donations for the work already done and your donation does not imply you will receive a 1080p version. I would do the 1080p one to thank the support if it is big enough but not like a job.
Apart from that, I'm waiting feedback from the new version

First because I though some people may be interested and they have been (the downloads talk by themselves)
You can also pay attention to the good comments received.
If you don't like it just don't download, but as you can see lot of people does.
I recommend you the v2 version if you don't want to lose definition and the v2big if you want the correct size.

Looks good, nice and smooth. Thanks for the work
