I never understood why so many mfg's sick with white background and everything so bright. This would be a welcome change, dark with transparent.

New status bar looks AMAZING but i dont like the homescreen stock android look. The current optimus ui is good enough for me . But that transparent status bar though

Ugly.....just ugly.....but hey that is just my opinion.
There are people who are gonna love it. It is like the child of Sense and Vanilla UI
Looks like Samsung's new TouchWiz, iOS7 and WP8.1 had a threesome and new child was born.
But I won't mind this on my G2.
I like it.

Why are they making ios-like styles, they could just create another style. Is it that difficult?
I'm not saying that the general style isnt cool but why always copying?

You do realise that flat style icons and pastel colours for icons and wallpapers existed before ios7? This 'copying' ios7 complaining is getting a bit stupid now. It's simply a current trend, and in a few years we will all have different style icons etc as stock on our phones, and then they will change, and so on.

I completely understand that, but as well finger recognition was also used before by the motorola atrix but when iphone featured it lg and samsung included it to the flagships, i know that apple isnt really innovating but it annoys me that android brands usually put same features than apple does without creating an own image or features(excuse my english)

And the G3 isn't out in a few days either (unless LG are really planning a big surprise).
Would like to see pics of the dialer/contacts and settings, hope they are all dark themed too!
I know LG won't release an update for G2, hopefully XDA devs can port it.

It really bugs me how iOS is given credit for the 'flat' look when in fact all Apple did was copy Metro. Metro in WP7 as the first true flat UI and its still the best looking.

In theory though it is a debate that goes round and round and round with no answers. We like to accuse apple of copying our pull down notifications, and now windows phone is getting that too. Companies will use as much of other peoples ideas as they can, just in their own way and always will (then apple will sue them anyway . . . . I kid, I kid). Luckily we have the option of changing our icons at will on android, so if people don't like it they can change it easily.
Compared to the Current & New UI ....... with same widget & icons i will prefer the new UI :good:
New UI is not awesome or amazing but compared to G2 or G Pro this is much better (IMO)
I like the new icons ok but they could tone that bright blue down some...

Same here. It may as well be 2.3.7.
The main UI will be largely the same however certain elements will have more of a 3.x twist to them, like the widget screen and app switcher.
Also apps will work differently when in landscape (tablet mode) to portrait (phone mode).
I see the word "soju" in those screen shots... Thats a Korean Alcohol... Just sayin'

Taken from Engadget comments.
-Honeycomb uses a much newer kernel build, 2.6.36, and ICS was allegedly supposed to use the new Linux 3.0 kernel
-Phone icon taken directly from froyo, not even gingerbread
-Android version is supposed to say the version number, not name, even with previous leaks with gingerbread they always showed the number. ie 3.1 or 4.0
-This has a teal blue theme rather than the dark blue colors of Honeycomb
-App tray should be semi-transparent, where are the holographic UI elements from Honeycomb?
- Shouldnt the clock have an LED font?
- That power control widget has been removed ever since Honeycomb

Nothing against the guy but I dont see the real point in editing the pictures, infact i dont see the whole point of this "proof of concept" photo. Was expecting more changes from ICS though.. I wonder how it performs resolution scaling with apps?
I still hope those are fake or just an early test version. Can't really see much improvement if that's what ICS looks. Hopefully it will be much better than that.
Samsung's own user interface was changed by the time. If you have a Touchwiz UX phone running Jelly Bean, you can find something, a beta screenshot of how was the Touchwiz UX UI when was in beta stage:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which is different from this one:
For me, the beta version was much better than the final one. You can find it at SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi. Maybe there's some other screenshots hidden in other Samsung Apps.
The screenshot maybe was took from an S3 Prototype by the resolution (1280x720) [1230x720 without the Statusbar] and because the leaked prototype has a pretty much similar ui:
So, what do you think? Who its better for you?
They're both awful compared to AOSP, but the beta is LESS awful
The beta one looks cool.

I can't understand people who think AOSP actually looks good. It looks like some nerdy high school kids with no sense of style made it. Blue status icons, are you kidding me? I can understand users preferring the advantages AOSP offers, but design isn't one of them. Both TW and Sense are superior in terms of design by a mile.
BTW, also on the list of the worst of the worst has to be the Android name and also the Droid series by Motorola. Both are horrible and are targeted to geeks still playing with their Transformers.

It's subjective. I disagree with everything you say. Touchwiz and sense are too "coloured". As a design buff, I much prefer AOSP. I prefer the regimented 1 colour background, 1 colour Icon. Anything else looks messy to me. Personally since I love pure black and blue is my favourite colour, AOSP looks gorgeous too me (once you get rid of the holo crap). Better than those Touchwiz and sense UI's that I used to draw myself with crayons back in the early 80's.
But design is subjective and you have to realise that. You will never understand why someone feels the complete opposite as you about something because you are not them.
Even back when I ran touchwiz roms, they HAD to be themed AOSP. I don't think there is anything geeky about slick design and uniformed colours.
That said, i run a similar design on Linux, because I do not like multicoloured icon sets.
The beta looks far better than the shameful end result. AOSP looks nice, but Sense beats all.

I much prefer 4.x AOSP to 2.3 AOSP. The blue is a much better colour scheme than the green/black that was on gingerbread.
In regards to AOSP generally, I prefer the look to TW. It might lack functionality (which is why Cyanogenmod and other aosp alternatives exist) compared to TW and later editions of Sense, but I do prefer the interface

Anywho, the beta do look better imo, than the final product.
I do agree with RootSU though, I also find TW to be too cartoonish and colorful, and really prefer the more simplistic colorscheme of AOSP - the dark holo theme that is. The light version doesn't fit my taste either

well yes, the topic turned to TW vs. AOSP comparison (which every Samsung subforum has 100's of it). The actual topic is about the pre-release theme which is found in APKs
I am a very big fan of a "Holo Dark" theme to my android devices. There are a plethora of theming options for system and or user apps for aosp based roms. However the LGHome launcher is a pretty feature packed stock home launcher and utilizes all of the LG .apk's designed to be part of the stock UI. You lose this functionality with a 3rd party launcher with theming support or with a non-stock based custom Rom.
I have a collection of user apps to satisfy my desire for the "Holo Dark" look and feel, but would love to have stock LG system .apk's to match! These would include:
Messaging
Dialer and the small incoming call pop-up
Contacts
Email
Calender
Settings
***system UI theme inverted with white and Holo blue text/icons on a black or dark gradient background
I know this would be no small project, but I believe I cannot be the only user who prefers this type of look, and if the request isn't made.... well then there is nothing to gain.
Anybody can feel free to chime in here. Suggestions. Alternative .apk's or T-Mobile theme chooser options? Is it even possible or legal to modify the LG stock .apk's?
Most importantly, are there any active developers and/or themers able and willing to accomplish this?
Thanks for your consideration

Theming the things you mentioned would be nice. The bold typeface on white is a a torn on the eye, it refuses to obey the system font
I know it's possible, in Rayglobe ROM there's been some theming of the dialer and contacts app. In my opinion not for the better, though!
I'm using Rayglobe currently, not the themed version. Then flashed a theme made for version 3.x but it only themes the quicksettings colors and status bar dropdown background. Better looking than stock for sure. However, doesn't touch any .apk's

The ui for the lg gflex is based on black instead of white. Settings, dialer, etc..
Hopefully that will come or someone will cook something up based on it.

That looks pretty good aswell! I personally prefer the ultra flat design language that dominates the most recent mobile OSes recently, over the gradiented real-world-object-esque buttons. Your toggle switches are nice, but they look a bit messy when some are activated and some are not, in my opinion. The blue text color was also a bit too deep in my opinion. The buttons look good, and overall it's way nicer than stock

So today someone I work with from SlimRoms found you can quickly change the dpi of any device running 4.4.2 (not sure if it's possible before that).
I'd post this in Android General, but I don't want to step on his feet, so I'm just posting it here for you guys. (I really hate large text/icons/anything on Android since I'm short sighted)

app drawer:
Obviously I take no responsibility for any issues it causes since it's a purely aosp implementation. I was surprised it was even in user builds.
so. how to do it:
Code:
adb shell wm density <number> # I used 200
or with a terminal emulator (you need root for this [try without to see why you need root]):
Code:
su -c 'wm density <number>'
if you want to go back to the default, do
Code:
wm density reset
The default density is 240 for reference. Lowering the number makes the icons smaller.
Enjoy, and credit to @gmillz from Slimroms for finding this
Sorry for an off topic question, but what's that TESCO icon in your status bar??? Seems like operator name, but I've got XT1022 from India but this operator name doesn't gets displayed this way... Not that I miss it though...

oem's don't like people messing with their stuff. Sure I made this public, but you just set off smoke signals saying "hey look over here. We're messing with something that would be so simple to get rid of. Are you gonna keep it in??"

No, my message wasn't exactly in par with that, because I'm thinking Motorola would've made it wisely to identify carrier name immediately when you start using your phone, sure dragging the notification bar takes time. My old Nokia 1100 had similar fashion carrier name in the left section, and battery bars in right, so I must say its fair enough by them to follow the General cellular phone screen layout guidelines.

Its incredibly bigger than the icons displayed in stock launcher though. Its not that ugly but I guess it reduced the icon image clarity.

I fixed it with xposed. And the quality will not be worse because android has every image in many resolutions

Hey Guys and Gals
The Z3 Compact's specifications look very interesting, sharing many of the features of the flagship Xperia Z3, rolled up into a smaller package. The screen resolution is considerably lower, but with the smaller screen size, it still manages a reasonable ~319 ppi. With the flagship devices getting ever larger, its refreshing to see a manufacturer pack high-end hardware into a "mini" form factor. Great for those who don't want or don't need a 5"+ screen. Throw in PS4 remote play, its a tidy little package. Who's getting one? Would anybody consider this over its larger brother?

I just hope Sony releases the phone in North America timely, I hate when manufacturers announce new and exciting products but make us wait months and months unending till all the euphoria dies.
But the good news is that it is currently listed on both the US/CA Sony online store as "coming soon" though UK store already has it for pre-order.
Already ordered
I'm switching from iPhone 5. 6 is not for me.

Welcome to the club
The chance is 90% that I'll switch from the Xperia Z to the Xperia Z 3Compact
I'm definitely getting it, leaving my first Sony phone behind, a nice Xperia ZR which I absolutely love. I'll love the Z3 Compact even more

Im getting one, going from a htc one m7.
I'm definitely getting this one too.. Going from my 3 year old Galaxy S2 to this and I would prefer the Z3C any day over the Z3 itself. Even if both had identical pricing I would go with Z3C only as I have a strong preference for the smaller and the right footprint of Z3C. I want an android phone that can be comfortably operated with one hand and yet offers top of the line specs.
I currently have a GS5 but don't like Samsung, i am waiting for the iPhone announcement just to see what it brings but the Z3c is looking awesome and i am seriously considering going for it. My only annoyance is i think timescape ui looks a bit outdated hope they refresh it with the Android L update.
I can't decide between the Z3 and the Z3c. Just to put things in perspective, the screen on this thing is almost as large as the HTC One M7 and the rumored iPhone 6 but the overall device size is much smaller!
I Hope So... This Smartphone is Very Interesting for Me
I got a Z1 Compact, 6 months ago. Z3 Compact is definitelly worth upgrading to.
Plus, same res but bigger screen?
No.
Definitely, as soon as its available in India, but I'm confused between the white and the mint. White because the front is white too and mint is just adorable

On Android, 'ugly' UI shouldn't be an excuse, since you can always change the UI to your liking.

I know and it is possible, however i would like to keep it stock, Sony has the ability to install theme's on top of the UI and i can install nova and change alot and make it look good but there are a few elements which look really outdated like the floating apps menu, just would like them to make the UI fresh again Android L style would seem nice.

But then again that's an opinion. There are many people that won't agree with your points. So in the end they can't please everyone.
I don't think they will rush anything Android L, not even just a theme/skin. They will come with a skin when they bring out Android L for Sony devices.

Like i said will see what Android L brings for the Xperia Z3c, and will wait to see what Apple has for the new iPhone 6 and the changes of iOS8 even if i never really liked Apple pfoducts.
