The closer and closer we get to the Unpacked event we get to see their sweets. Either way the UI is nice and I hope they changed the media player and Music

I found this about a half hour ago, saying that and Samsung are going to postpone http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...d-Google-cancel-Nexus-Prime-phone-launch.html unpacked.

Saw the video and I really really like the UI a lot!! Hopefully the prime will go to tmobile in December or even January, hope it does.... I prefer this because it will be the latest and the greatest smartphone with its non-capacitive button design and latest OS..

if that's real, it looks alright. though, i'm surprised at kernel 3.0.1. the switch to 3.0 was just over two months ago, so it would surprise me to see it on android already (considering Ubuntu is still on 2.6.38 and Fedora is using 2.6.40, i would think the full linux distros would be changing the kernel version to 3.0 before android).

Hopefully with Google improving Androids UI, less manufacturers would mess with it.

^^ the manufacturers will always have their own signature of android launcher to differentiate their devices from the rest.. I don't mind it at all as long as they make the UI better and add useful functionality into it..
Is ICS gonna be 2.4 or 4.0?

I just wish that manufacturers would make their launcher work like any other third party launcher instead of integrating it like they do.

If it's a straight Google phone, won't the launcher be ICS stock?

Just something I noticed. Where is the "battery use "in the settings?

I think the fonts are better than current Android versions, but I'm not that impressed.
It's still asking for OEMs to molest it, as well, which is unfortunate.
Not enthused.

[DEV/REQ] Grid Launcher

So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

I feel that this should be in themes
It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.

(Bounty) Porting Nexus Q software to work on any android

Hey, so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778012 and I thought it was such a shame the project was closed down. I think it would be great if someone could attempt this again! This way in theory, A person could connect their android tablet or phone to a tv or speaker system, and from another android device use there google music que to stream to that device. It woul also give a great way to bring life to old devices.
I'm going to start a bounty by saying I'll add $15
To get the apk's, just unzip the files from this factory image http://d-h.st/yeo
I'm also going to attempt, while working on my nexus 7, any suggestions would be great since I am far from a developer!
UPDATE 1 March 3/2013 Okay, for anyone else who would like to help out, I just found this Nexus Q Rom http://d-h.st/JCy It is based on IAN67K and deodexed, and has thing slike nova in it. The main use for it would be that it is a deodexed rom. Hope it helps someone! If you want to read about the rom you can check it out here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35778-rom-nexus-quantum-singularity-project-phase-1-4-v102/
So another update, I've atttatched HubBroker.apk that can be installed as a normal apk, and will give your device the nexus Q setup screen. Don't open after install, hit the home button and then select broker.

Be my guest, I haven't made much progress! And it would be awesome if you could post any progress you make and problems you run into and then maybe someone else will know a solution so it can be a community effort

So the current problem is that it cannot be picked uoby a different device running the nexis q app. My theory,along with the previous attempt of this project was that we need to change the Bluetooth id of the device running hubbroker. When running it and going into the normal Bluetooth settings it renames the device as the nexus q

I have 2 devices with NFC. If I have broker open and beam it to the other it asks me what room the Q is located in. But then it just says connecting forever.

The font is not that great, they haven't done much on the status bar yet I take it and I can almost guarantee that the final version will be drastically different, though the colour... id just rely on venom to change it

Article doesn't exist anymore

Am I the only person who's happy with the color?

I agree

It's totally fake..
HTC can't do that cheap looking customization .. :highfive:

Moderator information,
I have closed this thread for now. This does appear to be fake. Looking at different screen shots and the build number etc. Closer to the time when more creditable information becomes available, we can look at opening the thread again.
Many thanks,

They are giving us the new Touchwiz icons that look like they are the result of Touchwiz being raped and getting a back alley abortion. Nooooooooooo. I hope they at least include themes so that we can hide that mess. Then again, by the time this is actually released by Verizon, I assume a lot of us will have already moved on to non Samsung phones.

I think the biggest UI upgrade I can recall occuring on a Samsung device was maybe when the OG Note got Jellybean and looked fairly similar to the Note II and picked up some new features. Otherwise, Samsung has traditionally let as little as possible trickle down from their latest flagships to "last year's" model when doing updates---look at the Note 4 or the Note 3 Lollipop situation , for example. Neither phone was as smooth or as refined under Lollipop as it was under KitKat (I do not recall if the Note 3 was better under JB or KK). I certainly do not expect things like theme support or manual camera modes to ever trickle down to the Note 4. I'll just be glad to get its RF and battery performance back to where it was with KitKat.

I highly, highly doubt we ever see this.

His demo phone seems to be very laggy as hell with MM 6.0. Hopefully by the time we getting this it should be better.

It looks like it has a few things I might like. But the icons, dear lord are they bad. Way to iPhoneish for my liking.
The settings menu looks decent to me though.

Exactly why I hope they throw in themes. I hope somebody asks on the youtube page. He's been answering questions. (I tried to ask, but youtube won't let me sign in since I deleted G+ and my YT channel.)
