Hi, I am new here and I think that the progress you have made is truly astounding however, I was wondering whether in later releases, perhaps if it becomes more stable, if you will ever add live wallpaper support. this would be an excellent feature to include in a final release. Just wanted to know...

I can allready use live wallpapers, but there is no 3d rendering so it is SUPER slow..
When good rendering is possible, we get nice live wallpapers
I knew it would be slow, but thanks for the reply.
and how do you do it (I wanna design a real simple one). Whenever I install one, it doesn't give me the option to put in Live Wallpaper.
IDK but it would be cool if it was fast/faster.
It is build in my android rom.. I'm using the one from LENINred with HTC Sense

Would anyone be interested in a Themed BlackPad variant that would look like the attached photo?
Like all my ROMs, it would have a clean setup, nothing useless. It would be optimized for both speed and memory and stability. It'd just be a variant of my CleanROM.
Yes, killed, the "glossy" look but I like it that way. It would have HTC Album replacing the standard picture app, and a few other things... I'm just brain storming. I might release it along with my Kitchen whenever I find all the bugs with my current CleanROM beta. But for that to happen, I need people to HELP ME TEST IT!!! lol
Anyways, this ROM will be completely themed. It will have everything (or everything I can) looking black with as little white as possible. (Except for the white letters of course.) All backgrounds and all will be black.
There would be a Herald version and a Wing version.
I have a few apps in mind...
When PointUI becomes more stable and allows skinning, this will extend that way.
im interested, my home screen on all of my devices is black.
maybe you could include ui tweaker with the latest .sys
I think it is slammin. I will help test it for you. I have a tmobile wing. Right now I have open touch on it and I am looking everyday for bigger better things! I would love to put my 2 cents in it.
I will definatley help you test it if you would like and I think using HTC Album would be very awesome and not to mention all the black it will look flush oh and that point ui thing seems pretty promising but judging from the skreenshot it wouldn't be too missed because that home skreen looks [email protected]
I think thats a very good idea. The photo looks great, I really like the icons. I will help you test. I have been using pointui for the past couple of days and its actually pretty dang close to being ready to go. The creators are very active in making fixes for it and there are only a couple of issues that I have found. Have you found a way to skin it?
here is the today .tsk (just copie to \windows\)
and the icons for htc home.... (you need hhccustom to use)
and the icons for htc actionscreen. (just copie to \windows\)
have fun.
btw - it is not stolen from ivan - it is a today screen from me. he wanted to cook the rom....

That looks great bro,
Hey guys found this over at android spin. I think it looks pretty damn cool. I just wonder how piratical it will be for day to day use. I mean we can always use more software to complicate our UI.

Whoa! I'm excited for this, if the implementation turns out as smoothly as it looks.
It's like Sense: The Sequel.

you mean Sense's ugly cousin. Sense all day everyday! brings out the color in my screen
Of course in taking closer looks it's important to separate WOO SHINY EYECANDY from... actually useful.
E.G. will this make my device better, or just get in the way?
In terms of that it's hit and miss. But I do like, for instance, the means of setting the alarm clock (why go into a different screen? This solution seems quick and intuitive), and the 'folding' UI elements - such as the SMS widget, etc. If you don't need them, they fold out of the way. One problem I had with Sense is that most every widget commands the full screen, not leaving me space for much else, regardless of whether or not I'm using the widget at the time.
The widget 'fan' is interesting but I think I prefer the typical 'card' view. The ability to easily drag widgets and shortcuts directly to specific screens is certainly a time saver.
I'm curious to see where this will go in its final iteration -- much like concept cars, everything looks shiny and pretty, but the final product ends up stripping out a lot of the shiny pretty eyecandy in lieu of more practical, intuitive fare.
Good UI design, after all, should be transparent.
ide take this "ugly cousin" over sense any day
+1 Sense is to bulky and doesn't fare well for everyday use. The screens taken for the video were taken fron a MT3G so hopefully we will see that level of smoothness from 1st gen android devices TAT Home is just one of a ton a exciting new things that came out at MWC, cant wait for the beta to drop.
Here is some stuff from an email reply I got from TAT.
We are currently in alfa and expect to reach beta in a couple of weeks.
After that, we will slowly but surely start to roll out the preview to some of the 17,000 people who've signed up so far,
starting with specific Android versions and screen resolutions as we won't target all of them in the first version.
If your are lucky and make it to the list of testers, you'll hear from us in a month or so
I don't remember what forum it was but someone also posted an email reply and they stated that the Nexus1 screen res is supported at start. I also think the G1 should be gtg because it looks like a HTC Hero in the vid.
Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Here is one more update; I still have some things to do, but is getting some final form.
Looks pretty sick, but I must say, when the legs are on their own, well.....
Well I was fed up of not having any decent livewallpapers on my hero and stumbled across a livewallpaper called video live wallpaper.
This livewallpaper lets you play a video loop as a wallpaper, having just installed dreamscenes on my laptop, I put two and two together and thought why not.
After a few hours of trying various conversion formats I have found the settings to run dreamscape mpg's (dreamscapes must be in video format not dream.) as a livewallpaper on your hero, this looks really good and makes the hero look like its running really complex live wallpapers!
Anyway it works really well and is very stable and looks really good, so thought I would share it! If you check out the short video you can see a few running!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp3pNwQetds
If you want to do this you will need:-
video live wallpaper app (free from market)
Any video converter (free on download.com)
dreamscences in a movie format (google them) or www.dreamscenes.org
You then simply need to convert the dreamscene and run it with the live wallpaper app.
Ive found that the optimum settings for conversion that give the best look/performance balance are:-
Profile= customisied AVI movie
Codec= XVID
Frame size = 352x240
Bitrate = 12000
Frame rate = 15
You can tweak these values but be warned I found that if you go too high your poor old hero will start locking up, at these values I get no performance issues and battery consumption is on par with other live wallpapers, anyway enjoy
Oh and just to be extra nice here are the three from the video, ready converted for you to try if you can't be bothered to convert your own
View attachment Bokeh_xvid.zip
View attachment reactor_1680_xvid.zip
View attachment silky-dance_xvid.zip
(Oh yeah btw you need a custom rom to run live wallpaper on your hero, search development if you dont know how!!)
And just so you know, on my phone ADW launcher didnt seem to like this wallpaper so I swapped to launcher pro and it was fine!
If anyone finds any other cool dreamscenes, please feel free to add them to this thread to give people a selection to use.
EDIT...here's a few more I've converted
View attachment Underwater_xvid.zip
View attachment UnderseaHD_xvid.zip
View attachment 506581
View attachment Colormetry_xvid.zip
View attachment blueUV_xvid.zip
this is fantastic. will be trying this tomorrow.
nice ! I will try it soon !
Looks great, thanks!
...and BTW: I love the swing effect when changing home screens, how did you achieve this? What ROM are you using? Is it possible with CM6?

ROM is froyo 2.2.1 special edition final with fly kernel 12a overclocked to 710mhz
Transition effects are in the latest launcherpro release
In theory any ROM should work as long as it has the live wallpaper hack included, not sure how they will perform, maybe some will run better than others, if anybody feels like posting performance results on other ROMs that would be useful
Just found a site with lots of free dreamscenes to play with

No problem my friend, theres also some cool transitions on ADW launcher now as well if you like that sort of thing
And a little update for anyone trying the dreamscene videos, there seems to be so sort of problem with the video live wallpaper app, after a few days use it starts to really affect performance on my phone, am thinking some sort of memory leak (Im no dev so not sure really) stopping app then rebooting sorts out the problem.
Anyway I've emailed dev about it but if anyones clued up and knows what there looking at, then any input would be good
Hey!
I'm the dev of the VLW. I downloaded one of the videos of the original post and I'll be testing it on my device to see it anything weird starts occuring after a while.
Though I have the Desire HD so I might not have any problems. We'll see.

Thanks for having a look at this for us, would be nice to use this as an every day live wallpaper......and yeah I reckon the desire hd will cope slightly better than our little old heros hehe
Very nice work!
When I get home from work I might try this on my Desire HD too
Very nice!!!!!
The project is officialy DEAD due to the lack of interest. If you would like to continue the source is on github.
A few people asked for it so download is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7692676/android/One.apk
Based on work by Thiago Silva
Pretty slick looking. A little too iPhonish for my personal taste but it looks really sharp. Like the color scheme too. Excellent work.
Love that, please keep on it

Beautiful man. I used UberMusic and would defiantly love to use this theme.
cant wait id love to use that theme
Nice Nice Nice!
Can't wait for release!
Great theme!!!
WOWWWWWW!!! That is simply beautiful. If you need help testing it on an MDPI screen, I would be more than happy to do it. This blows out any theme I've seen for UberMusic.
I don't know hor far you're going with apktool, recompiling and this hacky stuff, but if you're good with this, you might find powerAmp a better app to start with.
Basically it has all or almost all features you need, so it would be a matter of rewireing the actuall app to the new ui you want to implement with a skin.
More complicated than making an ubermusic skin, but also more rewarding.
Thing is, nobody really likes reading bytecode, I guess.
Try with the UM skin first. I'll gladly try it. +1 for testing volounteers.
MDPI HTC Hero GSM, btw.
Ah, and btw, you might wanna try apk manager.
thats dope good work bro
Really nice brother i hope test it soon now
Nice! can't wait to see this... I've been using the metro skin for the whole time, and had (cubed) before that. It would be great to see a lighter skin
Very nice, will be watching for its completion.
Any release date for this??? im actually kind of tired of the skins they have for this in the market..not a wide variety of choice yet.
Man That's awesome!
Good Job..

I WANT IT! XD

I think it looks "iPhonish" because the tabs are on the bottom. If people want it I will make one with tabs-on-top.

I had a look at poweramp: it would be really hard to implement this interface. Playerpro has all the elements in it that are needed for this look (minus the letter separator but that's not a biggie). Anyway I finally figured out what was wrong with recompiling. I used apkmanager. That was the problem because it's bundled with a horribly out of date version of apktool, I updated it and now it works. Beta is coming soon so watch this thread

It will be out in 2-3 weeks at last. It depends on the feedback from the beta that will be announced later this week.
I like it, a good skinned widget, unless it can't be themed, and I'm in anyway
