Hey fellas, I am a graphic designer and owner of a g1 since day one. I love the device and most of it. But I think they've done a horrible job with the UI design on the Music Player. It just sucks, and I've tried the others on the market, but they are just so TACKY!
I have been wanting to redesign the UI for a while but I'm not a programmer, neither do I have time to learn it. As a graphic designer, what I can do is design the UI.
I would like for someone to help me either create a new skin for the android music player, or create a music player from scratch.
Here is a link to something I've come up with, very clean and modern. http://www.snapdrive.net/files/145643/herow-newmedia.jpg
If there are any talented programmers interested please hit me up.
Here is the design in black. (thanks for the idea, Iridox!). http://www.snapdrive.net/files/145643/htc-hero-72.jpg
UPDATED UI
I'M ABOUT TO SWITCH TO THE IPHONE, LETS GET SOME TALENTED PROGRAMMERS INTERESTED.
That looks neat. Maybe do another mockup with black background & white text and make the scroll bar green instead to match the Hero colors
Really nice concept, I like your style.
I think, for the moment, it's easier to make a skin for androiod music player, but icons must fit in the position, color of the font and blabla bla....if you want I can send you the original images, then you can redisign and I can change them back inside of the player. (until somebody here offer you to create a complete new player).

Hey thanks for the compliments Joshua, I appreciate your offer and would consider it if no one really offers a complete revamp of the player. I just posted and I got another offer, so lets see what kind of offers and what we can do together. at the end of the day I want to do this for all of us.
Keep checking up on this thread and lets see what we can accomplish.

Thanks Cache, i'll PM you.
This would need some xml edits to the stock Android music player.. look into the source. =)
yeah thats what i was thinking, doing some work on some custom animations anyways, so figure that i will look into this at the same time.
If you do so will you add a back button to the music player. Like the widget. It sucks because I love having themed stuff but I'm forced to use tunewiki seeing as how it has a back button on the widget. I'm all for a change to the player as well. G'luck mate!
not sure im stilled enough as a coder to add buttons, layout xmls are one things, but new buttons are a completely different story.
ill look at the code when im changing thens tho, and let you know what goes down.
looks amazing. I love the white UI! It will look amazing on a black phone
Yeah.... the topic title is incredibly misleading.
That said, if you guys could redesign the music player, that would be amazing. I don't like the market alternatives, so a redesigned player would be up my alley.
Good luck!
I'm willing to give this a shot.. I already downloaded the source.
i too am getting there i think, have edited the source, and its looking kool.
probibly not have much to show till after xmas tho, as other commitments etc, (pesky family)
If the original poster could post (or PM) the modified resources that would be great, otherwise I'll have to copy/paste/re-format them from the attached mockups

As I mentioned before, this post is to get programmers onboard with the project so that we can work together. If any programmers are interested in making this happen just send direct message. The design is not finalized, but once I get solid details of what can and cannot be done and I can rework or tweak, then procced to design the other sections of the music player as it is a complete redesign and not just the main menu. So if you are interested in making it happen just send me a direct message. Thank you all for your interest.
Check your PM! I'm heading home now.
I definitely love the black mockup man, awesome concept.
If this came to Android, it would go a long way toward beautifying the OS.

yes I've used all these and many more many times over including the cool ones that dont work due to incompatible resolutions like vr tunnel, seeds of life, circuit board, pano planet earth rot ect...you have to work your mojo to get them to stick and they often wont stick forever (just turning off your screen will cause many of these to revert back to your last static wallpaper) but they can be made to stick long enough to impress your friends. the ONLY live wallpaper I've tried that absolutely will not work is Silhouette. It does a funky split screen stuff that just wont behave no matter what. none of the samsung ports have ever worked on my phone either.
Thanks! Got some of these installed! Anyone else? Some really good ones there!
Marc
I was wondering if any of the aquarium LWP's worked. I tried the two aniPET ones, and they don't work, but the idea of having a virtual fish tank on your screen is kind of cool =]
Oh, and this one works too. Its the one I'm using right now. SMB FTW!

Edit: just installed the New York Giants one from WebApse. I don't know if the other one worked (from SilentDesign I think), but this one does. Even though the Giants have been done since week 17...still gotta love it =]
Can anyone tell me where I can get these and how I install them ?

first phone must be rooted and loaded with a rom that support live wallpapers (most froyo and eclair roms at this point). All the ones I listed are directly from the android market and most free.
It seems hit or miss which work and which don't some of those on the list didn't want to work on my phone.
Peace

some may have been updated to higher resolution, unsupported openGL (beautiful widgets weather for one) but for the most part all should work. I'm curious to which ones on the list didn't work for you.
thanks for this list. been hit and miss for which ones work on my rom. but good resource.
any that have updated to OpenGL ES wont work or wont work well:
Beautiful Widgets (old works great but if you dont have it backed up cant get it)
Nexxus Revamped (same. old works great, new is OpenGL ES)
list will probably get larger. do NOT do update if you see the update includes OpenGL ES (both the above describe in update description).

I second this. It would be a great addition to my gallery and a nice change.
Ok here she is after having to start over 2 times...damn DEV are working hard and can't finish before a new rom lol.JK keep up the awesome work guys.I am still learning the theming business so any help would be awesome i'm learning Photoshop on the fly here.Also i wished to change the text to white for visibility issues but like i said still learning. I'm looking for suggestions on changes and any help anyone would like to give me.Ok the thanking part the deskclock meter on top came from a Droid X rom Liberty 1.5 HC <awesome work guys>.
edit - First release (very rough as seen in screenshots also no clock)
edit - Second version is up, and good news i have a Partner GTO777 has taken the time to get things rolling with White text and custom wifi drop downs and a NEW drop down battery (very nice).He's hard at work thinking of new things to do including a possible reboot option.This is still in the works so keep an eye out it's just getting better.
Edit- Had a chance to work on this alot today and it shows in big ways. V3 will be up as soon as me and GTO777 and get back together and put all the adds together. Also am looking for Testers on any/all TNT lite roms <I believe this is able to be applied to them> if you would like to try the latest releace on TNT please PM and i'll give you a link.
edit- version 2.5 is up and looking great. still have those home buttons to look at lol.White text is not in this but working on getting it done.TY and please like always post a respons so others will try it.

Nice, this will give us something to do till we get the real deal: -)
Only thing I'm not fond of is the circle battery, I've never liked the look of them compared to a standard style battery meter.
I know I'm in the minority here, but maybe 2 versions with different battery meters?
Looks good so far though.
Awesome z Thanks... Vegantab has been getting all the theming love... Happy the TNT ers can now get in on things!
Looking really good. May have to try it with adw to get the same number of rows and columns as the xoom.

Also if it should go left to right or up and down. I'm not sure right now if I want to keep the bigger battery colors so ideas there will be great. Thanks for the support guys. Also I here their are vegan roms with themes please link some favorites mabey we can blend it in.

Thanks, yes and alot needs to be done but if we can get help we can compile a nice theme....also would like a more transparent web bar and different buttons so lets get those ideas going.
Edit-Ok guys it's been hell around here and haven't had alot of time between this and the boot animations.I've been tring to add some more or the Xoom look to the theme, starting with the Circle battery it's been replaced with the one from Xoom and the Larger wifi icon is being made now to match the theme (green out blue in ) also need to change the home buttons+back+menu button.i'll be tring to get this up tonight.This release will have the clock in it so look for it. Also can i get an admin to inform me if i can add Swype to this theme it's on mine (can't live without it)? Thanks guys keep an eye on the OP it's going to change.

Looks really good, I am working on something similar. Makes me happy for more themes . The TNT framework has a lot more then most frameworks, maybe work together? PM me.
I have this so far:
No pics sorry, but it has some white text on the drop-downs working on getting the rest. Toasts, pop-ups, and drop-downs have honey border, and.... I think the battery and wifi drop-down match the transparent blue stuff, the battery was annoying.
I need to do the home screen icons, add more white text in the drop-down, and I wanted to reorder the buttons in the bar, also make the drop-down shadows less transparent....
popups

Thanks to both of you... I'll be pulling this when I get I the office this morning to play. Looking forward to it!
(edit) just read the fine print... Question, will it work on the non-meat eaters? (vegaN)

thanks if you like it so far You like it even more when we are done with it. As far as the Vegan goes no there is alot different in the Framework that tnt uses sorry.
How about cyanogen? Can I use it on7?
Ok just so i don't have to keep replying this is for TNT roms, It was made for the TTX rom but will most likly work on the TNTL and roms like it. It is too diferent from Vegan and CM7 sorry.
Hey kicker, pm sent ur way
Anymore updates on this project? Everything is looking great. I'm running the latest TnT Lite and will be testing this out shortly.
+1 I am def looking forward to this!
Looks sweet. Thanks.
well guys sorry for the delay was moving to a new house and had no net.
Anyways it seems as tho my partner is MIA lol.and i liked the theme very much but i need white text and like i said i'm learning this so as of right now i think i'm done unless i can find help. Thanks to those of you who tried it out and responded. I'm not out of the game yet just think i'm going to move on to something just not sure what yet.
Pew pew is a great game for xoom. Very addicting.

First thoughts, nice to support the dev.
All the original game modes are still there, adds campaign, and 3 new challenge modes. Nice large update, but that's what it is... an update.
I reccomend it! I know ill be playing it for hours tomorrow haha.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
he could have used a better naming scheme, PewPew Lite/Free and PewPew rather than the one and two monikers. Still, one of the absolute best games out for android and I have actually grown to like it even better than geometry wars. I have also noticed some graphical touches not present in the original pewpew like the 3d oscilatting background in certain menus. Also much more music, I like the remix of the main theme. The campaign is imaginative and a fresh break from the challenge modes. Speaking of which, the new ones are pretty aweseme like "highway" for example, a massive circle of rotating enemys and you have to play in traffic to chase after a ball. This is my favorite game for android. No question. Especially for the Xoom!
So, I have all the art and the ideas....now just getting all it down on paper and doing my best to make a killer theme wether your a portal fan or not. The idea is a portal theme mirroring the 1st game nice and clean and then portal 2 being darker and run down...mirroring the 2nd game.
Please be patient with me in that I am married....like that's not enough right there, and I also work full time and run a home recording studio. This is my first theme but it is to be a colaboration with a few established themers you know and love. I will handle the art and concepts, they will handle the programming.
Please feel free to post ideas that you have and also if anyone out there knows how to make and or edit widgets & LWP.....hit me up.
UPDATE!
A deep appology to anyone who may have been anticipating this Theme. I forgot to post that I had a flood and lost my beloved laptop a few months back. I did pick one up recently and plan to resume, all be it from scratch. Im not sure if I should roll with EC05 or a GB build since things have changed from when I started this thing. Any difference as far as difficulty between creating a theme in Froyo or GB?
UPDATE 2!
I aquired an ET4G and will be making this theme for that device instead....
Good luck man. Take your time bro. Family and work comes first.

Keep the ideas coming people
I am trying to think of something in the way of widgets for the goo, not sure how to incorporate. I would like to have a clock widget that resembles the nuero toxin countdown in Glados's chamber as well.
I have my work cut out for me. Been reading up on proper implementation when it comes to graphics on the android dev site. Pretty intense, anyone interested in some side projects ie: widgets and lwp?
