One of my favourite apps is Tasker which allows me to automate parts of my phone. For instance, I get in the car, it turns on GPS, Bluetooth and it starts up my SatNav software. You can find it here.
From the day I had the app, the one glaring problem with it was the UI. It's stuck back in Gingerbread times and a lot has changed since then.
I recently saw a shared post on Google+ from Roman Nurik which showed various mockups of Android apps with a new UI. This made me realise Tasker seriously needs an update and I know exactly how it should look using the Holo design whilst retaining the original layout.
So here it is, my Tasker redesign. I'll be honest, I pictured what this looked like in my head, so I sat down, opened Photoshop and 40 minutes later I had designed something I thought worked great. It's the very first design so could probably do with some community input and refining. Let me know your thoughts.
Original post was from my Google+ Page, however figured I would share it with you here as well as I appreciate not everyone is on Google+

would be awesome! tasker is the best android app ever, but it looks like crap. well, the focus of the app is clearly getting stuff done, but a little bit for the eye wouldnt hurt

So, I was bored this morning and I created a skinned HTC IME mod using Gimpsta's theme generator found here: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/main.php
I did it using a key template I made and a simple filter using GIMP 2, along with the "transparent" key options on the themer. Hoping to make a tutorial soon on how I did it cause it's pretty cool.
Here is what it looks like. (download link below screenshots)

Amazing Work! Im gonna try this as soon as my phone comes back from repair
That is god damn horrible.
Niclas90 just be warned, since the "buttons" are made on the background image itself, the compact QWERTY and the number/symbol boards don't line up well, but if you rarely use those, like myself, then you may not mind it.
Detol Loki, I am sorry you do not like it. I know it is a crazy design, but on my phone it is actually perfectly legible with the background. But I understand not everyone will like it.
Lastly, if any mods wouldn't mind. I posted this on android forums too and was told I couldn't post the link to the IME since it isn't part of the open source stuff. Please let me know if this is an issue here as well. It never crossed my mind before, since I have seen so many links all over the place to modded IME's. If it is a problem please accept my apologies and remove the download link from my post. My goal is not to cause any trouble anywhere.
Is there one being developed?
I would love to see one on our Android phones.
I know there's one for ADW Launcher, but that's more of a theme.
I posted it at the X10 forums, but as PlayGunsta suggested, I should post it here too so
that more devs could see it.
For those wondering what's an XMB, Xross Media Bar is a GUI developed by Sony for the PSP, PS3, and some Bravia TVs..
Here's an image:

i would love to see this also!!!
For phones, I think this would be difficult to use. For tablets on the other hand, it's certainly an interesting idea. However, I must say the XMB is more suited to a directional controller rather than a touch screen. In all honesty, I don't see this being very practical for Android, but I do find the idea interesting. Just my 2c
There are XMB-style live wallpapers already, ripped from the Xperia Play. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025087 I think if Sony was going to release an XMB-style launcher for Android, the Xperia Play would've been the phone to do it on. I'm sure the thought crossed their mind, but when it came to practicality, the idea was probably thrown out the window.
Thanks on that one!
Or at least a widget might be good..
There is an Open Source Cross Media Bar for GP2X called GP2XMB. Is there anyone here with the knowledge to covert it to an Android Launcher? This would be a great Launcher for Android Handhelds like the JXD S602 or the Yinlips YDPG19 or even the new Archos GamePad.
I cant post links but if you Google GP2XMB it will be the first result
:fingers-crossed:
Hi XDA,
erm.....
Im not much of a developer so i cant provide everyone with an amazing ROM with no lag that turns your camera into a 20MP or makes your phone have 8 cores, etc, etc............ but iv kinda been into theming roms but never made anything great.
Iv been asked hundreds of times where i get my wallpapers from and i usually reply "Google is your friend ".
So i decided to give back to the community by putting all the walls iv used or planned to use in my (34GB) dropbox for all to use.
Heres a few from the collection;

Hi,
I developed a brand new app called "Zero to Hero".
The app let's you explore your yet unplayed music, those of your songs that you haven't yet ever played on your phone.
The key point: It's developed entirely using TouchDevelop, Microsoft's on device programming environment. Means it is developed right on Windows Phone itself.

Love this app, Best to discover the forgotten songs. We have it reviewed at wpxbox.com and also have couple of suggestions.
First is wrapping up of names of song which becomes messy when its too long. Second, once I play a song, does it get off the list ? I don't see that happening until I refresh

Thank you very much for the review,
regarding the issues, I'll look into them for the next update though I'm not sure whether it's exactly possible to fix all of them due to limitations of the TouchDevelop programing enviroment.
Hi Everyone!! we (My brother and I - The JLRC Team) Just started as developers and we thought theming would be a nice idea to start off. This is the first theme I've done and I believe its quite good.We're not planning on making them paid since we can't recieve pay outs anyways (Dominican Republic). I'll keep updating the post along the way, showing new stuff and ideas. Hope you like it!!

UPDATES
It's been quite a while and we feel like we're not getting anywhere with the people. so we've been thinking about what are we doing wrong. We realized that our themes were kind of useless... Having all those images around and stuff was not really worth it and no one seems to be liking it much.. That's why we decided to take a different approach and look at what we've got:
We hope you like it and, if not, please leave your comments!. We want to be of use to the community, so say anything you want and think.
Thanks for reading!.
Donations are always welcome.
Showing our next project!! (Only clean images, no useful widgets yet)
