I've never seen this site mentioned on here before and thought I would take a moment to share my latest discovery. hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have. http://www.androidbeautiful.com/
Nice looking but most don't score too high on the usability chart. What's the point of having multiple screens if they don't have shortcuts to apps? Or widgets?
Form over function, heh.
Better than most but not nearly as good as the best i've seen.
Still, considering that most people's idea of a good layout actually looks like somebody vomited a bunch of random icons onto their homescreen, most of those are an improvement.
I still like mycolorscreen.
awesome thanks for sharing only knew http://mycolorscreen.com/ before
I hadn't seen www.mycolorscreen.com before. thanks for sharing.

you must have never seen Rosie working
but it looks promising, you are right. would be nice to have it on the blackstone.. but i am not convinced it will happen. :/
m900's UI looks disgusting
you already posted this same topic in all the Blackstone sections, why?
Looks bad imo, kinda like a beta for touchflow a couple of years ago. Also designed badly from a ui standpoint, most options like the album are full screen but effectivly only use 30% of it which is really inefficient and a waste.
Then again, nice find. Even tho to me its a failed attempt its good to see other manufacturers than HTC working on "fixing" WinMo.
it's definitely from the same authors of manila... lok at icons, shape and animations...
but really ugly
I quite positively hate it, seems awfully counter-productive to me. Manilla is pretty quick to get to your essential items like sms, contacts, email, weather etc, but you have to click all over the damn screen on that.
Anyone have a CAB of this

Looks terrible I would prefer to use titanium and I hate titanium quite a lot.
Manila for me please
The globe showing the location is alright but a novelty. On the whole I would say the interface is crap.
it s*cks bigtime
I like the concept, and quite like the design!
Without wanting to change the topic, I've begun - after trying perhaps 20 ROMs - to begin to wonder what's the point? Shave a bit of memory here, add or remove a program there - they are all much of a muchness (and that's not to give any disrespect to the aptl-named chefs, I am very much in love with some of them!)
But what I would like to see is more innovative attempts at changing the GUI, and I find this a good alternative to TouchFlo/6.5/PointUI/Spb etc etc. and this would be a fun port!
It sure is innovative but...
Its design looks a bit crappy to me. And not really that productive/fast to use.
So up to now i'd stick with TF3D still... Having tried pointui's home2, TF3D, iphone, spb mobile shell 3 i'd say the top two in productivity and looks are iphone's and TF3D.
Spb mobile shell pretty close too but some stuff really turned me off about it.
This one doesn't get close to any of these overall in my personal opinion...
Just wondering what everyone thought about this...
Anyone have any suggestions of apps to look at for their UI alone? Regardless of function.
I think that Sherpa has a very nice looking UI.
so does Tipper.
PicSay looks very cool.
I think the general UI on Android is quite weak, especially compared to iPhone.
Devs need to push the boundaries more I think - maybe get a few designers in!
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.
I saw some icons like these on a screenshot the other day and liked them so much I made my own. Thought I would upload them in case anyone wants them. Sharing is caring! lol
Edit- oops, looks like because they are white you cant see them. THEY ARE THERE UNDER THE SCREEN SHOT.
Those look like they're based on the Metro style that's gotten pretty popular lately. I've used a similar icon pack that's got a pretty wide variety of icons.

The artist is extremely receptive to feedback and is pretty steadily adding stuff where requested.
Awesome! Thanks for the link. To be honest, I didnt do a lot of looking around to find out where they were. Just made the 4 I needed and left it at that. But that guy has made a ton of them!
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.
