I don't think I have noticed this posted anywhere yet...
take a look at this UI (homescreen replacement?) soon to be released on Android:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys7gua-noOE
it's buttery smooth!
i think shells suck..spb on my nexus?no i had it on p3300 a few years ago..
I'd definitely use this.
yeah ..i'd like to use that too ...
what really caught my attention was that the transitions and animations were silky smooth -- to the point that I doubted whether the video was 'real', or if it was just computer generated imagery!
Certainly impressive, but it's a bit overdone in my opinion. When every single element is glassy with gradients and reflections etc it really makes it look cluttered.
Personally I'd like to see more black in these interfaces, running a SAMOLED screen the black just merges into the bezel beautifully, giving the impression that there are no edges.
But as said above, I'm impressed at how smoothly it runs, considering I sometimes get stuttery animations on the standard interface.
That is really nice looking. Was that a stock android ROM or a new interface?

Yeah I signed up to beta test this a while ago, but wasn't picked. It looks really cool and all, and I would definitely try it out, but it might be a little much for standard everyday use. Maybe not..guess we'll see. It would definitely be useful to show off my nexus s to people lol

i don't think it's an entire rom ... it's probably just a UI shell ..an 'add-on' that sits on top of the standard rom ..
not sure though .. we'll have to wait until it releases to the public

Nexus S - cm7
Been using this for a couple of days and really loving it. I initially thought it was a bit overdone too but it actually works. I can totally use this as a daily driver.
Lucky enough to be chosen for the beta. Not sure if I'm allowed to share the APK. If someone can clarify that for me then I'll gladly post it.
I've been using it for awhile now, too. It has been my daily launcher since I got it. Very smooth.

How about battery draining?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Battery drain is very minimal. I installed this over CM7 and the stats read that currently it's using 3%.
Don't think you're gonna notice any sort of decrease at all.

Hm. I got crashes when I first started using it awhile ago, but those have been cleared up, it seems.
What build is the one you are using?
Looks really interesting. Was playing with it for a while. Might try it again when I have more time tomorrow. But looks promising.

I don't see much of a performance improvement (I don't think there should be one, either), though if you do wipes anyway you're going to avoid a lot of slowdowns.
Shame about the new boot animation, though. I kinda dug the colorfulness of the last one. This is a little too bluish, wooshy, scifi looking, like a wonky portal effect from 10 years ago. Reminds me of the unfortunate tastes that gave the mod community a few too many Matrix themes.

You can change the boot animation back to the old one if you want to. The new alpha-5 boot animation caused me to have a seizure so I found the bootanimation.zip file and replaced the new one with the old one lol
Just get the bootanimation.zip file from one of the previous versions of CM9 (/system/media) and replace.

Is the audio bug still present? The one that requires the screen selection sounds to be turned off in order to minimize the AudioOut_1 wakelock? Haven't seen it mentioned since the early alpha builds.

It's crazy what these guys have done.. I don't know if I could even replace my Epic 4G with anything that's out right now.. We have the only qwerty device on Android 4 on the planet.. ICS, Wimax, and an Overclocked hummingbird makes this phone arguably better than the Droid 4..
I don't know if it's just happening to me, but my phone's time is all over the place. The lock screen stays perfect, but the status bar one stays stuck & I have a widget that lags even longer!

Alpha 1 felt slow and chunky to me, with the exception being the browser. May give a5 a shot since the ram settings got tweaked in a4.
If the app switcher still takes >2sec to open it will be a no go.

I have it, it is very nice, not too many features yet, and it has a very noticeable lag time. Otherwise it looks great and has good ideas, just not implemented to the top standards yet.

I haven't noticed any lag with it And I agree it looks great and has great ideas, but it's just lacking in features. The way I use my phone tho, the missing features don't bother me.
It's a launcher developed by Chris Lacy. He does good work. I use his twitter app, tweet lanes. It's one of the better twitter clients imho. He's very responsive to user feedback. This launcher is in its infancy so it'll get better

If in its infancy than why charge so much?

$4 is the going rate. It's the same price as apex and Nova even when they were brand new. It's very nice because it's actually different than the standard android launchers besides obviously the $10-17 ones.

I'm using it currently. I like it as it's simple but a bit different to what you normally get. Gotta have the apps list transparent as well as the homescreen bar.

I'm using this one since today on my Xperia Play ( My N4 hasn't arrived yet.. Germany - 'preordered' ****up )
And it runs smoothly even on this old device.
What stopped me from using it is the app drawer in the top left. It'd be a nuisance for me to reach all the way up there every time I needed to access the drawer o_0

Nova and Apex are free, there are paid versions which you can unlock certain features. Completely different to Action Launcher which doesn't offer a free/trial version.
At least with Nova/Apex you can see how it runs on your device over a day or two compared to Action Launcher which you basically have 15 minutes to trial it and if you don't like it you only have 15 minutes to request a refund.

I was concerned about this too - I think you can open the app drawer with the home button, but some apps you want will still be at the top of the list. Infact, if you use the A-Z most will be at the top.
Does anyone know if there is a way around this (e.g, when you press the letter they are offset from the top by a couple of apps)?
I will certainly keep an eye on this, I was quite impressed with the frequent updates for tweetlanes.
The app drawer isn't really on the top left, you can press the home button and it will open, and you can also just swipe right when you are on your "left most" home screen.
I use this on my Nexus 7, and I think its great, good to see something different and not horrifically overpriced!
For me, all it needs is a landscape option, I wouldn't really use landscape on my N4, but I would use it quite a bit on my N7!

I'm working on a G3 inspired UI right now, it will be more than a "simple" theme.

The notification panel isn't the only thing I want to tweak, I have some more ideas, I just don't have enough free time.

Uhmm maybe yes they will, considering the LG g2 is very capable and it has been the key phone for their sales of these years, so I maybe they will surely update it just like HTC did with older devices for sense 6.

I have some bad news.
I finished the mod last night, but I can't really share it as of now. Let me explain. It's basically a modified LGSystemUI.apk, which is most likely different in each ROM, maybe even different variants have different LGSystemUI.apk - if we are talking about stock ROMs - and they aren't really compatible with each other.
I'll try to make flashable zips for Cloudy ROMs, as they are the most popular (and the best) stock based ROMs imo.
Unfortunately, it won't be as simple as copying my modded .png and .xml files, because I couldn't even recompile the apk when I tried doing it. But I'll try to make it work on these 3 ROMs as soon as possible.
Maybe I'll also make a tutorial, so you will be able to cook your very own LGSystemUI.apk yourself.
Can you make the volume slider in the notification bar a Bit "flater" like the toggles?
Thank you for your work on this.
