Stupid idea that never would've made it =[

Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?

where do we start? im interested

Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.

lol.. trolling is fun

Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.
But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;
All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets
and on MotoBlur, you have;
Phone-All Apps- Contacts
Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...

I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: [email protected]

Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck

I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.

Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!

Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.

Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!

So any advancement in this?

I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.

Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
ok kl. Im not sure on how to add buttons. maybe look at one of the launcher2 modifications where buttons were added.

That's a really good idea, I could ask one of those Devs. Do you know who made it? That's a really good idea I love you guy. As a bro.

Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.

We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.

Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.

Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*
okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

#NotReal
..

I'm not too sure myself if this real or not, however what irks me is how people seem to be disappointed at googles lack of "cosmetic" changes.
Really?
It took ios five iterations before making major design changes to their software the- ability to change your wallpaper and implementation of folders. What they added the most was features. What google accomplished with gingerbread most was making the OS look as if it was made by one person and ICS looks no different.
WinPho7 Mango? Still looking square. What was added? FEATURES.
What I look forward to most is the the solution to fragmentation that plaguing the OS and talks of being optimized for dual core devices. At this age of Android design takes a backstage to performance.
Too ugly for you? Slap ADW or Launcher Pro and call it a day.

Top Reasons why its real
1.The lockscreen
2.The Transtion when he opened settings
3.Multitasking menu
4.The Widgets in app draw
5.The Settings menu
6.Screen rotation animation
7.Google apps folder
8.The launcher

why doesnt he just install rom manager and post it on here?

Google wiped it but they were able to get a system dump an there a few devs that have it including the legend Chainfire

the video looks real.. Cool

Blame crapple its because of the gallery change

but probably ony for Dutch market - i do not know if that regional court rulling is affecting EU / World
i think next firmware leak might have normal bounce effect or the blue_overscroll only in gallery
might be that this particular branch was compiled to shor Dutch court that they can follow the verdict asap
hopefully - because i hate the effect

I don't care about overscroll glow,that's not important at all. I think that most important things about roms that they are stable and bug free... stock jvt on my phone so far so good....i do not bother with that irrelevant stuff like color of the overscroll glow :s
sent from TT

btw if you do not like the glow you can do as follows:
1) pull the framework-res.apk you use from phone
1) in framework-res.apk find
overscroll_edge.png
overscroll_glow.png
(/res/drawable-hdpi/)
2) copy both files to your pc & edit to be 100% transparent with proper editing tool
3) save & copy back to framework-res.apk into the same location overwriting original files
4) push back the framework-res.apk into phone
profit: no colored overscroll glow
downside: still no bounce

Im not botherd about it ...best thing to do is change it or forget about it

SUPERSONIC SP5 is now done and will arrive soon.

Thank you, works fine

I've got used to the blue glow overscroll effect now. In fact I prefer it - at least it's different. I don't want my SGS to behave like an Apple product! I can't stand the iphone I have to use at work and the camp, restricting, cartoony feel of everything about it. IOS is just an app drawer with a few transitions. It's so basic - no wonder it's smooth. They can keep their stupid bounce.
More to the point - I can't believe Apple went through all this legal trouble just to protect a bouncy overscroll effect. How petty can they be? Samsung have started removing it from their products now, but it's still there if you use ADW, GO, Launcher Pro or SPB shell. I use Quick Pic instead of Gallery and that still bounces. Are Apple going to take legal action against every app in the Market that has the bounce? Next they'll be telling sports companies to make footballs that don't bounce.

samsung has not started to remove the 'boounce effect' from firmwares
yestarday officialy released via kies 3 firmwares for hungary - ALL HAVE BOUNCE EFFECT (2.3.3 + 2x 2.3.4) - buildates after court verdict
(read more here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18613181&postcount=2)
it will be probably remowed only in dutch firmwares as it seems the only patent violation verdict is not affectin european market ...

I would like to disaggre !!!
I am always looking for Good and Stable ROMs at XDA,
but as soon as I see the specs, - "Overscroll Glow *** Color", it disappoints me
Also, the Screenshots etc.
Overscroll glow is rather Cartoonish & unprofessional
Moreover, the themes, OMG
2 out of 10 themes are actually worth looking at
There are no good color combinations at all
Sometimes I wonder, how, a developer that developes a ROM, can be so Cartoonish
Most of the themes are rather unprofessional and do not match the level of the Tech Specs, or ROM feature List
No Hard feelings for anyone
I am JavaScript & Web Developer & I code Enterprise level UI & Backend Applications
Wanted to just say it once on XDA !! (I am talking about the theme part )

Xperia Tablet Z 4.2 Screenshots!!!

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, but as I was updating my Xperia Link app on the play store, I noticed it has screenshots which had the notification bar moves to the top and the three main home, back and open apps buttons moved to the centre of the bottom bar like a nexus 10.
So it seems Sony will be changing it to match the Nexus tablet line UI for the forthcoming update.

Nice find!
Hopefully the update comes soon.

the image is clearly photoshopped. look at the status bar - the bluetooth and wifi icons are off centered and much too big, same with the battery percentage. also the apps look like they are copied in, they are much too close to the navigation bar. this is clearly a fake screenshot.
let´s see what the real 4.2 update will bring us i would appreciate the switch to the new tablet ui from 4.2. it´s so much more intuitive and needed for 4.2 because where would the quicksettings go without it?

I don't think Sony will switch to a phablet ui. It would confuse their 'normal' consumer base (excluding people here). And companies always assume users are idiots, so i'm pretty sure we'll still have the tablet ui

Sony is trying to keep the core framework and such as close as possible to stock Android. I also don't like this new UI, but I'm sure as soon as we have the 4.2 system deodexed, mods to bring the old Tablet UI will be back...

It might be photo shopped, but it is from official screenshots from a Sony tablet app on Google Play, so we have to assume it is the new UI. Like you though, I guess we'll have to see

Nothing surprise if Sony switch to this Phablet look as Android officially kill off the Tablet UI since Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I do hope Sony keep the tablet UI even on 4.2.2 or 4.3 in future, I not really fancy on Phablet UI on Tablet due to it just smaller more the screen usage due to Status Bar and Navigation Bar get separate.

Sorry, but:

If this ends up being the case someone will need to port PA to this device. I do not want to give up more screen for the notification bar up top.

I've seen PAC-Man but not PA, PAC has the PA per-app DPI changer so its pretty much PA with a bunch more goodies from CM and AOKP.
The only problem is, unless it has been fixed in the past 2 or 3 days, that the ROMs don't have WiFi working on the WiFi only XTZ. A lot of people, myself included, chose the WiFi only XTZ because we didn't need the cellular connectivity and because it was quite a bit cheaper. The entire reason a lot of people haven't unlocked their bootloader is because there is simply no reason to at the current moment because the ROMs haven't progressed far enough, no fault of the hard working devs, for them to be completely functional or have even all the core functions.

I have never seen how that's implemented, I have never had the chance to use a Sony android phone.

[PORT] Touchwiz Coming Soon...

Hey Peeps! What up ? I Am going to PORT Touchwiz to Moto G, Well atleast i am going to try. I am going to start working as soon as Samsung starts rolling KitKat Update.Once it got booted i will create a thread in Android Development.
The reason for creating this post is to aware people about my work & Of course to grab some attention.
Why Touchwiz ?
Well, There are already some Manufacturers PORTs being Develop.So, I ended up this.
I might some help in Future ? With Tests,Logcats,Kernels,Boot,Etc......Are you up ?
Let's see how many people supports me..
Thank You!!

Just a quick design/typographic suggestion for you, friend: this post is not readable when someone is using the XDA Premium app with dark background settings. Your black font color does not contrast well with the app's background.
In order to reach a wider audience, you might want to remove the color-equals-black tags from your OP.

not going to be rude or anything but I just find touchwiz really ugly. it doesn't look nice

Agreed, good luck with your port but i'll never touch something with touchwiz.

Why would you pick the most ugliest version of Android to replace the beautiful vanilla version on the Moto G? Most Samsung owners who root their phones switch to AOSP based ROMs as soon as possible. And here you are trying to bring this monstrosity into your life? Why? Why? Why?
