Without wanting to appear smug but i've installed just about every rom on here and while i appreciate all the guys hard work doing them none of them really do it for me in their appearance !
Couldn't one of them really jazz up the appearance a bit better ?
Don't get me wrong I do think performance comes before looks and my diamond is miles quicker now but come on guys couldn't one of you developers make the appearance a bit more colourful please !
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.

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 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.
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.
Hard to find a good replacment for Themer which I think now has completely fallen apart. Like to load different photos and themes on my phone whenever I feel like it. Not much for different UIs that some nerd thinks has more usability(you know what I mean). Not looking for OS themes or launchers looking for something that will make my screen bling if I want a faster phone I will tweak it and make it faster tho I dont like a launcher that hangs or is a pain in the butt to use. Decent, simple, beautiful, no major hangs or catches. Not something I have read forums for a week to fully understand either......... Thank you ahead of time for your help sorry I don't know this forums lingo yet but maybe this thread will help other "outsiders" in the future from bugging those of you on the inside.........

You can tweak Nova to make it really fast.
