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......
Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Ran across this article today discussing a very promising launcher that will be coming to tablets. It's a kickstarter campaign atm but I'm definitely excited to give it a try when released. Hopefully by the time it's released I'll be rockin a nexus tablet on jellybean
Enjoy

looks pretty nice, I am going to bung 5 bucks their way
Nice find, 5bucks is a bit too much for me though. I spent money in other launchers but I always go back to a MIUI kind of experience.
Also nice Sergio Leone signature
I pledged. Seems like a cool project.

5 bucks is cheap compared to spb shell. Gosh I regret ever buying that launcher when it first came out.
Thanks! I enjoy my westerns...especially the Sergio Leone ones
I've pledged too. It looks pretty good. I think the main issue, as with standard launchers is the widget support.
As the title goes..is there any feature you miss from the previous versions?
Is there any feature on any other OS that you would like to see in Android?
Any new features you would like for android KLM?
As for me, i would like to see an OS which roots the device on installation..
There was already a discussion about this feature yesterday in the images thread but..
Wireless mirroring, like airplay. I think that would be an excellent addition to Android.

Oh no that's not what I meant. I like the idea of this thread, we need a place to request and talk about features. I just didn't want people to think I was beating a dead horse by bringing it up again.

We've got the means to do it, just not the software. We can stream 1080 video to a DLNA client over wifi, so we've certainly got the capabilities to stream the desktop.

Sweet! Hopefully its fully integrated into Android very soon.
Two more smaller features I would like to see are announcing the callers name before ringtone (which is on some phones) and strobe the camera LED flash during calls. Optionally of course. I know there are some apps that announce callers name, but I haven't found one that works the way I want: announce caller one time, start ringtone from begining and dont announce callers name again. And there are LED strobe apps too, but those haven't worked for me since Gingerbread.

Theme engine. I use CM9 which has one, but if it was an universal function in Android, there would be much more good looking themes... So far I've only found one good theme for the new framework.

Holo Red is the one i like.
I mean sure, there are a few good themes, but let's have a silent moment thinking CM7 themes...
Most of the CM9 themes are too "fancy" for my taste. "Real" pictures as status bar icons, too many different colors etc. I prefer minimalistic themes.

They make skins, primarily for Apple products. Carbon fiber, things like that.
Not to be sexually biased in anyway, decalgirl.com already makes skins, and yes they have CF too, but I think is just an image no texture
http://www.decalgirl.com/skins/Google-Nexus-7-Tablet-Skins
And Skinomi makes skins too (including CF) I had their CF back on my Viewsonic Gtab and I have to say is the closest thing to CF textures.

I did, when I was on the site looking at their product. more choices are always better, cause who knows how long it will take unique skins to add the nexus.
