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

yeah.. with their pesky dinners & booze & presents
PS. I'm going for a Donut version.

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.

Hey i could actually design this for you but im no programmer either, im a flash cs4 developer and im actually working on a whole new android UI but this looks hella sexy for a music player, maybe we could work on something......
So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!
These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them
Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?
Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^
Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper
nice. Great job, keep it up.
How do I install these, they are AWSOME!
Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .
I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.
Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.
original wallpaper is here
Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.
Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...
LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!
It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?
Here is the wallet style png icon set for your android phone. Hope you all like them.
these are pretty steller
good job
I got these extracted from a apple I phone theme and shared here. Looks pretty beautiful when applied on handset.
kinda noob here, but that thumbnail of yours... is that your real homescreen theme or just a presentation? if it's a homescreen I would loooove to have that theme on my phone. thx
Look interesting. Good job!
Sent from the XDA App on my FroYoed Sprint Hero...so forgive possible typos
could you translate to english?
could we see a wallpaper you used or the hand made?
Looking good, Thanks
These are great! But the collection is incomplete without a web browser icon
off the beaten track
Here is a collection of HD wallpapers I've made for the Xoom. They are sized appropriately to fit the Xoom's wonderfully large screen =) I take no credit for the images themselves, just sizing, and finding @[email protected]
I do however take credit for 2 of the 3rd Birthday walls, I actually did make those.
These images are SUPER high quality, and I hope you like them! I'll try to update the pack as often as I can.
Note: Some of these may be slightly explicit, nothing over the top, and NO nudity =b
Download the wallpaper pack here http://db.tt/oK7M84K
Download the Evangelion pack here http://db.tt/6l6gO3a
Update 1.1 Added Evangelion pack of 23 pictures
They those look pretty good. Thanks! I've been looking for some good wall papers.
thank you! also, sorry for the size being so big, i tried to keep as much of the original resolution as possible!
If anyone likes anime I have a Haruhi wallpaper I made and reformatted to fit the xoom.
I posted this in another thread.

Yea, I noticed a bit of them are slightly explicit...I am guessing those are from hentais lol. Anyway, good work on resizing to fit good.
actually no, nothing is from Hentai. the two groups that are the most explicit are the Ikkitousen ones and the Ladies Vs. Butlers.

My bad, I suppose I just see things in a different way lol, as I only looked at your photo with all the pics BC I'm not sure if I am able to download files on my Xoom so I will have to wait
Thanks for the wallpaper, i'm always on the lookout for high quality wallpapers and i'm both a gamer and an otaku.
no problem! its nice to see some people like them =) makes me feel useful XD
These will go great with my "just pictures" live wallpaper. If you're like me and don't want to choose just one image or don't feel like changing it manually, I'm using the app Just Pictures which also comes with a live wallpaper function. It works just like how windows 7 will cycle through wallpapers.
These are some awesome wallpapers by the way. Thanks for packing them all up nice and neat for us XD
^ awesome! i will definitely try that! also as an added little bonus, im adding to the pack soon i got a lot of great new ones that just need resized and compressed!
just added the new pack, check it out!
Thanks for posting these =]
Good day all,
Once this thread grabs some more attention, I will make a nicer and more readable introduction. But to those who are reading now, let me introduce myself.
One of the main reasons I love having an Android phone is its capability to be themed. However, as I was looking through the many themes, I noticed that none of them are quite what I am looking for. I decided to make my own themes to satisfy what I like.
Although, I am at best a Photoshop hobbyist and have absolutely no artistic capabilities nor any formal learning in this field, I sincerely hope you enjoy what I make.
Any comments, criticism, or discussion is appreciated!

Hollow is a dock-centric homescreen theme that is meant to be clean, simple, and flexible.
INFO:
The idea of Hollow first appeared when I realized the majority of the themes were very restrictive in their gridlines + choice of wallpaper. I wanted to make something that allowed more flexibility while staying eye-appealing. My answer to this was placing the good majority of the widgets into the dock. The dock contains everything you need, the desktop contains whatever else you want. Don't like the set up? Move the widgets to your own liking or even make your own widgets to match your personal tastes.
