new launcher/UI - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, would it be possible to build a new launcher or ui/theme, much like one of the Iphone 5 mockups (see images).
I simply LOVE this concept and I think it would look great on our X10's.
Any take on this? Anyone willing to try to build something similar?

Wrong section...
Also, if someone was this good of a developer/designer they definitely wouldn't be using the x10..

It really is no use being so pessimistic...
I personally don't like it
If I find something good
I could think of designing it

Thanks.
Alright, so you don't like it. I respect that.
But could you tell whether it would be possible in theory or does this concept goes way too far from the original idea of Android?

Ok you design something even a hundredth as encompassing as that then...
Might as well just write your own OS then while you're at it

Guys,
this post was only meant so that I know whether it is possible or not.
Please play nice before it happens all over again (talking about banning)..
Thanks anyhow.

I think it looks pretty cool. Would be awesome if it had timescape integrated into it. Like the old timescape hone replacement.

Nice UI
hey friend,
this UI looks different from what we have seen since the 1st day.. dont u all think so..
this one is really cool.. well.. the bee hive icons not that cool but still blend with the overall layout and color..
it is definitely difficult but not impossible.. and lot of time consuming.. when many great devs moved on..
i think this has arrived a bit late to review by the devs..
anyways.. nice one to think again for the devs..
great going..
thanks..

You're misunderstanding.....
What I was saying is that someone of that calibre would be working for either one of the major manufacturers, google, or cm/miui...
Have you seen even one mod that was that encompassing?
You guys read into things too much.

Will we ever see a real port of sense ? Not that i am a huge fan of it but i can say its nice im sure other users like it too we have seen all kind of roms in the dev section but we didn't see a single sense rom / port attempt i saw an honeycomb port attempt but the project kinda died and now im hoping zdzihu could take care of this since he's leaving the forum and i know he could do it because he's a beast .

if u just want a simple answer between possible or not, yes its pretty much possible. anything is possible. sense already ported to non sense device, android already ported to symbian and winmo device, so this is pretty much possible indeed.

well, the problem with motoblur is that everyone seems kinda "hate" it compared to sense. frankly i've never really held any device that uses sense or motoblur even once, but from just the reading on the net me too were leaning towards sense than motoblur. it just a popular saying, sense is godlike while motoblur is crap. dont shoot me btw, im just repeating what everyone were saying

I don't get in love/hate flame area, i like what i like. With Motoblurr i like the clean interface and the design. I too never held a sense or blurr device... yes i like HTC HD2 sense UI more but the other versions of sense...not so much. Bottom line...i don't like touchwiz.

You can try HeLauncher, it has a customise option that makes your phone look like stock gingerbread, motoblur, sense etc.

I never tried it so i don't know if it's good or not.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before the Adjusted Diabolical Revolution came back to life. Taking a break from cooking up sweet ROMs. Get out of here with that. And get out of that developer only thread too. I mean, we all enjoyed the laugh, but get serious. Don't come here calling out people that are actually helping. What a joke. You need to grow up man
Sent from my iced out HTC Ruby
I was just joking around.
I said it sarcastic cause I released the thread of the Launcher in the APP section for people to look at.
Take a chill pill ha.
I'm not fighting or arguing.
---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------
OT: Good job w/ the ROM
Never tried MIUI but only have tried the Launcher.
AOSP and MIUI would be welcome.
Not really, Going to wait for the real deal, all these "like ASOP" and "like MIUI" "roms" are nothing more then themes that break something that's tied to sense, or only look like what they are suppsoed to on the home screen, everything else just looks the same. Swapping some .apks around doesn't make this a rom and isn't really development, it's theming. No offense.

Why are devs leaving?

Firstly, this isn't a complain, just a way to try to understand what's happening.
I noticed some devs (from the few we already have) are leaving.
What is the problem? Personal? Phone power? It was only a temporary phone? Users aren't being polite or thankful? Xperia S seems that won't have much developers, this was a fact since the beginning.
Since the beginning, FXP and Xperia AOKP team are here, but a few other devs doesn't hurt. Doing mods, other ROMS (I confess I'm jealous of the number of roms and mods on the Arc forum. Heck, I want that Pureness Rom so bad).
Again, only trying to understand, I AM NOT COMPLAINING.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
A Serious Issue!
Maybe because some users are complaining too much for the hard work they get for free. I think that we should praise our devs more and also that we should donate more. Development of a rom takes days/weeks. Not everybody can afford to do that totally for free. Maybe xda could offer a humble-bundle-like buisiness model for professional devs. (pay what you want). With that we could attract skilled and motivated people. And paying at least 1$ for a rom wouldn't hurt anybody but reward the developers.
Please don't attack me for that. It's just a suggestion. I know how hard development is. At the moment I also have maybe a 100 interesting projects, but I can't afford to realize them cause I don't get paid for that. And everybody needs to live from something.
people here doing those for free, and of course they have life too.. it's sad to see some few people just rant about their mistakes...if there's bug in the kernel/rom..report it, instead of ranting or venting anger :/
hope to see more development for our devices..
MAyB the user complain more & 4get to give credit to the DEV's who have put in hard effort to make it & sacrificed their useful time.
Maybe because they have gotten better phones than the Sony ones... But it is sad yes.. I would love a smooth and fast rom... But hope more devs will come... I have tried a little for my own and will maybe continue xsx kernel but I can't promise anything as I don't have much time because of my final masters degree assignment..
But we must hope for better days ..

Which, somehow, it's strange. Xperia X10 Mini/Pro, X8 are low end 2010 devices. They still have some active devs there.

I think the MooDeD (what's the right capitalization in that) dev left, but I don't think we've lost much here. Doom is having a lot of problems IRL, and so do I for now. Jerpelea and Kali- are working on 8960 devices, me, Nick and Keiran on U8500 and AOKP for everyone, krabappel and others work on modded stock ROMs and stuff. What else do we really need? I mean, it would be great to see more skilled people here, but we're getting by as we are right now. Give Sony a month or two, and we'll get stable JB with all the stuff working*
* - likely except HDMI, Sony uses a custom protocol that's a PITA to reverse engineer, so it's not a priority.
P.S. Also, Xperia Nexus. If it's real and not Exynos (which I doubt), I'm totally getting it.

I can only say that I also find it embarrassing so see the hard work you guys put into what we (should) enjoy. I for one am extremely happy with your work and wouldn't think of "this button's too dark" or "your rom isn't sexy enough" or whatever.
I'm sure many users also appreciate your work, but only the spammers and naggers seems to get the attention.
Whatever, thanks again for the hard work that makes our toys so much better - for free!

MIUI is a complete framework replacement with its own alternative apps compared to a stock ROM. It has many built-in functions working together as one, for example music player + different modes of the lockscreen. Most of the applications are created anew and are much better/snappier to use than the stock ones, like the gallery. If you have never tried it, you should. It has (one of) the most beautiful Android UI available.
No need to convince me. I second this.
MIUI has a ui to make even devout iOS lovers jealous

I don't think the OP has to make any kind of argument to you.
MIUI is well known - and loved, in some circles - and a request for porting/development is well within any users remit. Whether any one does or not (port/develop) is a different matter, but doesn't stop a simple request!
Peace
Edit- ha ha, should have looked at the original date of this post .... no takers yet then ...
I have tried, and failed, obviously, to make a port of MIUI to the Touchpad, it ain't that easy!!
