[Request]XMB Style Launcher - Android Themes

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

I came across this app earlier today and it seems like it has future potential. The only fault I see is that it doesnt have landscape support but its something to play with. Gives me something to mess with until Open Touch 4.0 comes out. lol Its nothing out of this world but figured I'd share. See some screen shots below.

Trying to transfer iPhone UI is imo a fail. Much better are interfaces like mobile shell which come with their own ideas.
Check out the istyle - do a forum search, much better imho, which rearrange the today screen rather than replace it.
imho ..? oh well..
I'd rather have Open Touch V4.0 than the iPhone to be honest. Tho the iPhone is a revolution in the digital worlds, it's nothing more then a simple theme because it uses MAC OS X 10 or something.

I agree its mainly something to show off if anything. I played with it for a little bit but I still prefer HTC home that comes with open touch.

Lava themed HTC IME keyboard mod.

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)

Had to upload to Mediafire, but here it is.

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.

[Gio512] "Windows Phone 7 Mozart Edition" for fireslave WP7

Hi all guys. Welcome to the "Windows Phone 7 Mozart Edition" for Windows Mobile. Here you can find a modification to get a WP7 interface close to Mozart one.
It's based on fireslave WindowsPhone7 v2 interface. So you must replace the WindowsPhone_v2 folder.

very excited about this i think this should have a link to fireslave's thread and vice versa...
it is amazing to see the amount of popularity that his theme has recieved...
i remember when he was working on it in the throttle launcher forums... it was top secret and he wouldn't tell anybody what he was developing... and in a few short months it has turned into a monster (a good one)
lol
i would be happy to start adding tile and hub modifications for this theme as soon as you are ready just let us know the proper procedure you want us to do this in...
Look cool!!!
But I don't understand what's it~~
Is it a UI extension ? or something else!?
Hope to try soon!!

[Mockup] Tasker Holo Redesign

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

app for ultimate wallpaper maker

Hi everyone,
I love make my phone's wallpaper unique - once I saw one wallpaper which was a blurred app-drawer with a apple logo cut out.
I liked it a lot and searched many wallpaper like that. Since then I thought to make a app for android to do the thing with few tap. Hence I developed photo effect eraser
I did many update /rework/ design change since I am learning android day by day. But now it's unique by its feature and I guess people will love to use it for making and use their own photo as wallpaper and post in wallpaper posting thread here are some example output -

First thank your for your reply. I know photoshop is a great tool but I developed this app to for people like me who 1) Don't know photoshop 3) don't want to buy (very costly ) 3) want to achieve the output with mobile with few taps
