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

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......
Being a fan of the interface style of ccyrowski's Interface on his rom and it appears discontinued i wondered if any of the devs had any intention or would consider continuing the manilla style interface of the rom on theirs if not would also be interested if i could find an apk with the UI setup. Cant knock the message and email setup on it as well as the near seemless intigration of facebook. appreciate any replies i can get in advance and if this is in the wrong section i apologize ahead of time. Figured best place as would prefer a rom with it built in over the apk and havent got the hang of cooking android roms yet, lot trickier then Winmo lol.
wrong section

are you asking for an apk that installs the sense UI? that is not going to happen... sense UI is like blur and such. its a specialized type of "overlay" for android. think of it as the rims and tires to a vehicle. it just adds to things. for the NEW sense UI check out eugene373 espresso rom. its the newest out and stable enough for you to at least try.
Hey gang, I'm one of many that probably are looking for something new for the Thunderbolt. I know that I would love to see something new and innovative. I love Sense 3.0 but there's just a few themes that catches my eye. The 3D effect can only "wow" so many people.
I posted requests for the Zenexp themes to be ported but the original designer never got back to me. There are a few other CM7 themes that looks so awesome but wish they can be ported to other roms that are not CM7.
I bought SPB Shell 3D hoping to have something different. It looks great but again it can get a bit boring.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope that the next update on other roms can "wow" us again, just like Sense 3.0 when it came out. Is there anything new coming up in the future? Hey, I saw a couple of video clips from "TAT Home" and they look awesome but they're great on inventing good video but not anything out on phones. Take a look at what they have, it looks great.
I thank all Devs for all their hard work and all Moderators for their theme creations. I wish I can do what you guys do.
Wondering if there is any project or even - a app i havent found yet - for simple 3D modeling on honeycomb. Something between Chrome "3Dtin" and Google sketchup.
I would love to create some simple 3d projects on my xoom and maybe even animate it...
I would even help to start such a project. although i am not a programmer, i know many 3d software tools, grafics, icons, skins, et cetera...
I would also like to see a version of Google Sketchup for the Xoom. I have used sketchup to convey simple mechanical concepts to others and it would be great to at least be able view the models I have created on my Xoom.
viewing would be nice. But i think there is only a viewer for Autocad. i believe that modeling, needs quite an advanced interface and touchscreen handling, so i am not surprised, that there is no such app.
So where are the volunteers for the honeycomb BLENDER port?
