What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?

I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.

thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that

I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.

This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.

But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings

Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.

I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.

The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

I wonder if it would be possible to port the launcher to Android since it is also Linux based? It looks pretty sexy...

The most thing about Android that is Linux based is it's kernel but a lot of it is actually Java, especially the apps.

[Concept] UniverseUI //Make it happen!

Hello I've been creating a concept UI which will essentially be powered by a complete home replacement, I believed this is the answer because the original launcher doesn't exactly give us the power we need to run the User Interface I've designed. UniverseUI is all about simplicity yet structured in a beautiful refined interface which allows you to access the most important parts of your phone with the slightest ease of touch. Accessing what's important to you and make the phone you live become even better will surely make you more happy.
(Note: Galaxy wallpaper wasn't created by me, but bundled with a Nexus One)

Preview Revision 001: http://i50.tinypic.com/24glvmf.png
Feedback is welcomed.

I am really feeling the concept and my thoughts on this is that your one of the people that think that roms should go beyond themes and build a whole new UI and I am also one that rather see new UI's to make each device customizable to fit the users style.
Great concept now I wanna see a dev pull this off

DPD approves

Wow, this looks awesome. I would totally put this on my phone if it was an actual theme/UI.
And I would think that the general style of it would be possible to create, but I don't know anything about making themes.

am i missing something?

seems you have alot of work to do buddy boy

LOL! Same thing here, all I see is a wallpaper and some over the top texts next to it.
But okay: the wallpaper is nice. It ain't a theme though.

i like it, simple and elegant. think you need some more work on the concept befor you can turn it into a theme, but i like what you have got so far, good luck with further development

the concept is nice

One problem I experience while working with a lot of transparent image on the g1 is failing rendering... so it would be very nice, but I see a lot of problems coming your way.

The Concept is unfinished and I've wrote that on the first post, your phone represents you as a person, the way you customize it and the way you use your phone is something that shows user preference. I posted the UI concept early to show how the development process is launched, and give you a more personal side to the development scheme in the future. There isn't a lot to see but you should clearly grasp how the future of the project should be expanded to.

As it is now it reminds me of a winmo theme. I think there might even be a facade theme running around that has a similar feel to it.
As an android ui i think it has potential to be amazing since as far as i can see development on android, atleast in terms of a homescreen/ui seems to be more open.. if not untapped. I would love to see the psd of this one, maybe making it in to a community theme could make this one really pop?
just my .04.

At this stage I don't think I'm going to release a PSD or any sort in the future. The aim of the concept is to make it look luxurious and clean, and I hope the future revisions will give a better understanding on the concept I'm going for.
The revision 003, has heavily inspired Winpos 7 UI ''Metro'' yet I liked the ease and simple application scroll from it so I wanted to add something similar yet tweaked for my concept. Each box should have an Icon that resembles the box but I didn't finish them. Here is the 2nd screen being revealed, the next revision will probably explain a little more about the concept and it's unique application database and a small rehaul of the 1st screen.

I've uploaded the third revision, feedback is welcome , thanks for all the views

It looks like this is turning into a home replacement, not a theme..

Look into building themes for SweeterHome. Almost all of the features in your concept can only be done with a home replacement.

sweeter home.

Looks like WinMo7///Zune HD, heh, but that's not a bad thing.
I like it except that it's not very smooth (see the text...).

[WIP]ElegantSteel

Hi,
You guys might remember i designed the Elegance theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633043) I've been designing a new theme called ElegantSteel.
Theme is based around the Tolken icon's (http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570) with elements from Ubuntu 10.04 and other Linux themes.

With the help of a few people in the community i hope to create this as a MM for CM5, and once the theme is finished im going to release the PSD for anyone to create ports / alterations etc.
I'm opening this thread as a place for people who would be interesting in helping to contact me, my gtalk is [email protected]
Update
Heres a PSD if you guys fancy making a flashable theme out of this
http://mythreed.com/AndroidTheme/Theme2/ElegantSteel_alpha_design.zip
Ive tried making this into a theme but im running around in circles. Port to any rom/device you like and alter it and combine with anything else you like, all i ask is that you provide me with credit, thanks

Interesting. I like the sleekness

So are these just concepts or working snapshots ?
Regardless, amazing theme.

that looks pretty dang, sexy! I'm lovin' the black wallpaper with the theme. looks slick! Great job!
EDIT: btw, I think the bronze version of this wallpaper here would go perfectly with your theme. Check it out!

Its just a mockup at the moment, but a few people have contacted me and ive sent them the alpha psd design, so an alpha release should be along soon. Few more elements to skin, couple of widgets and apps then its nearly all done.

That is damn sexy concept or not, I eagerly await an update

WoW, Very nice!
Their Tabdesign is very beautiful with the transparent ongoing & latest! I attempt that the whole time on line up to get, but does not fold.
can they help me or give an hint? that would be absolutely ingenious. here is my Theme

Oh my lawd, I love your themes!
The Elegance was my favorite, however it did get a little stale (but still LOVEable!!)
Can't wait to see this theme in full!
I'm willing to help also

Thanks, i hope to learn a little about creating themes, so i can hopefully create a few more

this is probably the best theme i have seen in a while. obviously gives off the iphone feel, but that's what iphone has down (their UI design), which is why many people love iphones despite us all loving android. android stock is as ugly as a UI design as it gets, which is why we have themes. i hope you really are able to accomplish this 100% to your psd look because it really looks solid. the only thing i know that you will definitely have trouble in because no one, and i repeat no one including myself and other themers, is making those notification TABS (where you see your latest events/information) transparent as in your mock up. i am sure that the tmobile header can be made transparent because i have seen it done before, but the tabs are always the issue. there's some coding in the xml or something that does not allow it or may some hidden .9 png that we are unaware of. good luck

This has got to be the best looking theme I have ever seen. So clean and Elegant!
Which is apparently something you don't find often around here. :/
Can't wait to see a release!

This Theme is AMAZING .... This should be the Default UI design for android

really cool!

wooow, is there any release schedule ?

so true.
looking really good though, man! i'd use a different font if i were you, though. i'm not really feeling that one. but hey, what do i know?

Wow this is the first theme that makes me not want to use Sense :O

As always, you are creating an excellent theme.
Are you planning to make it metamorph? Or will it be based on CM5.0.8 (when it becomes final.) Hopefully one the 2.2 code drops, you can make this CM6 compatible as well.

This is the sexiest theme that I've seen so far. It's just so... sleek and beautiful. I must have.

[THEME] Memeticα WIP

This is a personal project to see how far you can take Android theming.
So far this theme is still WIP, and I won't release anything before all the icons in the status bar is themed. Graphics is done by Fritjof, the second half of Coly design.

Since he don't have an android phone and I only got a Legend it would be nice if someone would try out this theme on some other devices. Just PM me if you're interested in becoming a tester.
to be done before initial beta release:
theme all icons in status bar
getting it tested on different devices

im in but i only have a mdpi device

wait..what is?
im not tryin to knock the op ( no seriously im not ) but the wally is prolly avail thru google images or deviant art, the launcher can be found via launcherpro.com and the clock is avail thru the forums.
i understand the point .. but nothing is really "amazing" about this theme.
looks like another rendition of the simplistic psd's that were released.

To each their own, what u may find mundane another would describe as amazing. It doesn't have to have the most eye candy, but a well thought and flowing theme which in my opinion this does. Each person is entitled to their opinion and mine is that this is an amazing theme. Simple and clean.

So amazing for you is if I built my own launcher, clock and the whole Android UI?
Of course have I used other applications to skin, that's by far the easiest method.
And nothing is "stolen", it's made by hand - even the wallpaper is
edit: what about these themes? They also uses Launchers you can download on the internet and clocks and widgets as well. I suppose they are nothing special then?

@ KnightMAREcrow : exactly, its just a matter of opinion. we are all entitled.
@ Briix : first and foremost as i mentioned, it wasnt to stir anything up, as i will reiterate its just a matter of opinion and as i said in this case, i wasnt wowed. Now going forward and if in fact you'd like to be technical, no those works didnt wow me either. OH and never once did i mention that any of the items were stolen i simply said all items or something extremely similar can be found via the internuts.
mentioning you made all by hand really does nothing for me either..CONGRATS, you have a good amount of time on ur hands.
Now as i mentioned, and clearly was speaking in reference to two of the three links posted, they are merely differentiations of the original psd's released. which is where "i" see this was "looking"
do u need to recreate the wheel, no. Do u need to simply add different treading maybe a thicker whitewall and have a longer life span to make it better..yes! What i consider "special" may be mere childs play to another. U sitting there and taking all to heart is pointless..never once said i didnt like, just wasnt amazed.

cool, to each their own.

back to topic. what interest me the most is the status bar. its as its a true "minimal" i have a g1 and i would gladly support you in any way i can (cept cash)

This looks really interesting and very nice!
Let me know if you would like to have som additional testing on a Legend, i own one and would be glad to help you out.

please peeps with an EVO test this, so it'll be released for it!

this looks like it could become a pretty nice theme. i'm looking forward to it.

sorry guys, but this might take a little longer than expected because the battery goes to unknown state after I updated my ROM.

hey!!
1st i REALLY... like ur thingy there xD its kinda kwl and simple
and i am really into tasting this on my nexus one
can u send me it ??? PLEASE ?!?!?!
thanks!!

Take your time Briix, looking forward to this when ready

[REQ Theme Port] Jumba's NeonGT 1.4 for XXJPY (07.01: Tweaks + 2 colour button versio

The Matrix nerd in me says I should see if anyone would be interested in trying to port this for Dj05/Deodexted..... I think it would be a nice change with all the white, black, and blue themes we have been seeing!
Anyone else on the green kick that I am on?

I like your requests, I think thanks to them we suddenly have a good number of new themes which are different than what we had before. This one looks pretty nice too.

If you want to request this many themes, you should just learn how to theme. Its not that hard and you don't have to rely on anyone else to do it for you.

If I knew how I totally would. Are there threads on here that will teach me? I know how to use adobe Photoshop and I don't know that much about coding but I am an easy leaner! And I have patience!

Search in the Samsung Epic theme forum. Someone put together some nice tutorials.

ill search over there . been wanting to get into theming for a while , have never been able to find a tutorial .

I th ink I found a tutorial in the Android thread, with android development and theming, it is a general thread but a good start. I've just never done it before. If I can figure it out I will. If you beat me to it that is cool!
Cheers!

I dig this theme..definitely want to try it out
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/StupidFast 1150lv/darkstar

Anymore interest in this theme? Wanted to see if anyone wanted to try and port it, if not I will make it a mission to try and do so myself.
I'm a noob to themeing but am a good Photoshop editor.
Also if you are interested in testing this theme period let me know and see if we can drive the demand for this sweet looking theme.

Yeah I'll give it a whirl
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/StupidFast 1150lv/AOSP Black

Looks very sick... do it up!

Approved.
That looks like a very sick theme. I, as well, am fairly versed in graphics (have done a bunch of my own icons for my phone through LP)
Might take a weekend to read through the tutorials to see if there is some things I can to learn to help port theme's, or even create new ones.
Look forward to seeing this bad boy!!

Stoked! I'm going to read up as well and see if I can't come up with my own.

agreed, this looks sooo sick. cant wait to try it

Is it just me, or is anyone else having a hard time forgetting about this theme? I bet its because I want what I can't have for my phone... I need to get cracking! lol
