Playstation XMB Android launcher

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.

Adw launcher

New version of ADW (ADW LAUNCHER EX) looks pretty sweet

Here's an article on AndroidPolice with a 6 minute video demonstrating the new features.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...eleased-transitions-to-a-whole-new-dimension/
This one might finally get me to drop LauncherPro Plus!
Differences between ADW.Launcher and ADWLauncher EX
* 5 different app drawer styles/behaviors
o 3D Nexus One like application drawer
o 2 different plain vertical drawer styles, the "old one" and a new fast and smooth one
o 2 different iPhone-like horizontal application drawers, a traditional paginated one and a new one with continuous fling
* Different desktop transitions: new animations while navigating through your desktop screens. Try them all, they’re crazy!!!
* New Icons configurations/look and feel: Tweak your desktop icons, change its sizes, add coloured backgrounds, change font size, color, etc!
* New fast presets mode: Quickly change the whole desktop configuration by 1 click!
* Editable desktop icons for applications, shortcuts and folders!
* Lots of code improvements
* More, more more to come!!

Played around with it while some features are cool it still lags. Im going to stay with launcher pro.

That's the biggest reason I switched to LPP from adw. It wasn't a problem with the features, its just not as fast and smooth as LPP.

I didn't find any lag with this new version... but I'm still sticking with LauncherPro Plus because the widget resize feature works better and because the LPP widgets are so nice.
I didn't mind paying the $3.50 for ADW just to contribute to a developer who has put so much into his work and it's all been free until now. Plus, this way I'll get automatic ADW updates and maybe eventually it will add the features I want.

Has anyone figured out how to hide app labels in the drawer? I hope he doesn't leave out that feature in this version.

ant this a paid app? If so you cant post it

What are you guys smokin? There is no posted app in this thread. I posted a link to the article on AndroidPolice... I even said I didn't mind paying for the effort of the developer, why would I then post a copy so everyone else doesn't have to?!
Unless you're talking about a post that has since been deleted... in that case, my bad! =)

Wow.....

Why is my HD2 not this cool???

definitely interested in knowing!

...looks really amazing. Would like to try this new UI too. But didn't find any information over it, what launcher this could be.
Hope someone can enlighten us very soon

I'm guessing it's a combination of stuff, and not actually made into a rom.
For example, https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free

This 3d efffect he uses in his video you can get if you use "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" as already posted in combination with e.g launcher pro.
in multipicture live wallpaper you have to use:
- transition type: 3D Rotation
in lauchner pro:
- preferences->homescreen settings->transition effect: Flip2
also ensure, that you have:
- preferences->Appearance settings->Disable wallpaper scrolling: unchecked
For users that want to use their device in landscape only this is a very nice combination..in portrait it looks very awful in my opinion

WOW

Haha that's 100% correct, you xda guys sure are on the ball!! ..except I used AWD EX launcher the task bar at the bottom/ swipe hiding was built into CM7, btw do you guys know how to get an "app organizer" that organizes in categories IN the actual app scrolling menu? That's the last bit of my 100% customization missing

I think the closest you'll get to actual app drawer organizing would be to sort the apps in groups on ADW launcher. It has the option to create and edit groups in the app drawer, and choose which one to view. I've never seen anything that allows you to put your apps into folders within the app drawer, which has never made sense to me since it would be so much more convenient. Thats the one thing that WM still has over Android imo.

wow, very nice that

What music player is that? It looks pretty cool.

With this drawer you can create folders.
....at least you can see that on the pictures. Unfortunately I'm not able to download it in my region.
It is a free app, could s.o. download it and share it here?

Just looks like a launcher plus some cool third party widgets and stuff. He says in the comments that its not a ROM, and that he'll post a tutorial soon. Until then, check out Regina 3D launcher... its in the android market. I'd post the link if I wasn't a noob...

When I originally asked what this was when I posted this thread, I didn't expect so many answers. Thanks you everyone for the responses. It looks like I will have some fun changing my HD2 on my next day off!

What weather app is that? This is really cool.

[APP][CONCEPT] SE+ADW Launcher

lol post those wallpapers

edit:

nice idea, good luck with all that

Dont worry guys! Team Syndicate is already covering this in a new launcher being released on Dec. 1, 2011
I have talked with the OP and it will be a style/option in a new epic launcher coming soon

15. Half naked girl wallpaper

Oh stop whining about the wallpaper, the idea is brilliant, unique and definatly something I would use. The wallpaper is something you can see on womans magazines and billboards anywhere.
If I knew anything more about android development other than the layouts are extremely frustrating when you come from a windows development background, I would tackle this myself.

Yes, these are what I wanted too.
A goo launcher that looks nice and has cool icons with following feature.
1. Hide/Show apps in App Drawer
2. Make folder in APp Drawer
3. Uninstall App directly via app drawer.
If anyone could make such a launcher it would really be great....

@OP
This not a quite hard thing to do actually.
Draw the icons to the wallpaper of your screen size.
Set the shortcuts (or widgets like folder organizer if you want folders) with blank icon at the corners every page.
Set no scrolling wallpaper.
Done!
@yagya
That sounds like stock ICS launcher lol

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.
