This looks promising! I can't wait till the devs get a hold of this one!
http://www.larvalabs.com/product_pages/intelligent_home_screen.html
Imo this blows MotoBlur and Sense UI out of the water. Looks great and much more efficient than the standad launcher. I hope addons will be vailable in the market to add new notifications for things like facebook. I think I'm more excited about this than flash..
it does seem promising but will it run better and/or as well than the standard Sense UI or the MotoBlur?
This looks very, very trick.
And you posted this in development why?
But I do like that interface idea. WinMo 6.5 anyone?
Was just about to post this loool, lucky i searched to see if i was the only one with the news.
Looks awesome, if someone ports this etc.. it will be great.
this looks very very promising!

I agree, for me if I wanted a homescreen like that I would just stick to WinMo. Well, probably don't want the thing crashing on me so I wouldn't go with WinBlows. Hehe, but I assume some people find it more useable, wouldn't it be better as a full-screen widget of some sort? that way you could still use the multiple home screens, just have the larva labs one on the main screen... hmmm
Looks interesting. I'm waiting for it.
On the other hand, this is an app, not a ROM development deal, so I moved the thread.
So essentially this is just a double-ended windowshade? Drag down to see notifications and up to see widgets? I still prefer the standard setup where notifications remain in the minimized windowshade until it's dragged down. It also seems this would make it more cumbersome to launch apps.
IMO Larva Labs should stick to making games.

As a widget you wouldn't be able to drag, as it would drag the widget itself, so it would have to use buttons instead...
I'm not impressed.
HOWEVER, I am conducting beta testing/bug detection for SweeterHome.
WOW! should you see some of the features that SH will be coming out with!
I can't wait till it is finalized! It's working great right now - but, there are several more features that are being developed and some final tweaks that have to be made.
This program has a cool concept... But, I still want to be able to see my wallpaper, my widgets, etc.
This app is just too plain vanilla.
Wouldnt this be a good idea if it just took up one screen, instead of being the only one? That way people could loook at all their cool widgets and what not
i want to try this
From what I heard it's a lockscreen? =\
So it's similar to Flyscreen, but only with one screen?

Flyscreen is not a home replacement, this is.
I would like this as a lock screen also.
But
Sweeter home ftw

I have a grudge against the dev of Sweeter Home for taking so long to update his HR :/
And it won't pass till the new release is available and I can steadily use it as my default HS.
Regarding SH - The dev is working on SH when not at work. She had a project at her regular job that took up ALL of her time and she had to abandon her personal projects for awhile. She is now working hard on SH again. But, because of her constant updates and some cool innovations that she doesn't want to be stolen she is only allowing a very few people to beta test (also, she gets enough info from the beta testers she has to stay busy - more testers would just complicate her job). But, she is making a LOT of progress. She has about five or six completely new features, it runs smoother, and looks great so far. Just be patient.
Didn't mean to highjack this thread. I like the idea behind this app. But, I wouldn't want it as a home replacement. It would be nice if it could operate as a window shade. A user could decide the screen to place the shade pull on and on what side of that screen. Then the user could pull it out select an option and the shade would draw back as the selection implemented. Or, while adjusting the app it would stay open until the "close shade" button was selected.
That IMHO would be a MUCH better option than a home screen replacement.
Hey guys,
I have designed a new honeycomb-like lockscreen (optimized for tablets in landscape mode and for smartphones - one handed usage in portrait mode), and I'd like to gather some feedback from you
This is not meant to be an exact copy of the original HC lockscreen: my goal is to offer a similar experience while also providing as much informations as possible and offering an option to use it fullscreen, without the statusbar.
[PROJECT STATUS]
Picard666 has done a fantastic job porting this concept to MIUI and now the project has been released at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19222707
CM integration is still pending.
[PICS]
Here are the latest mockups
Landscape (ontop of mad-murdock's CM7 tablet tweaks):

This looks great! My only suggesting would be to remove the shadowing behind the lockscreen info. I think this would make a for a cleaner lockscreen.
Does anyone else feel the same way?
Do you know where you could get the lockscreen info widget you have?

Do you mean the semi-transparent black background behind the info text?
I think this is a necessary feature as it's a huge plus for elements visibility. No matter what pic you choose as the background, you'll be able to read the infos without any troubles
Looks nice! What is the gesture for unlocking the device? I'm guessing by the small arrows on the lock, you can drag it up, left, or right? Is there a way to just use one direction?
Also, link?
nice work buddy

Atm this is just a concept. If I'll get enough positive feedback I'm confident that with the fundamental help of mad-murdock this will be implemented in a future version of CM
I think that, usability-wise, the best option is to give the user the choice about the drag-to-unlock movement
Looks great, hope to see this merged soon
Love it! Super sexy.
looking amazing nice work
The design is nice, you got my vote!
Huge thumbs up for this idea, I really hope you guys get this put together!
Awesome can't wait for it to be on cm7.1

Although pure Google is always the way to go, I was wondering if some aspects of the Galaxy Tab's TouchWiz would make its way to the Xoom. I suspect it could but only rooted Xoom's. The advanced multitasking and some of the widgets look decent.
Thoughts?
i say if you want touchwiz then sale xoom and get a GTab 10.1.
But I also believe anything is possible with the devs we have here. Who knows what we will see when source code is released.
custom ui? that sounds to me that when android 3.2 or 4.0 comes out people on the galaxy tab 10.1 will have to wait 6 months until they pimp back the ui to whatever the update will be
i would love to have Mini Apps on my xoom. it's a greet idea from samsung.

I say, I love Android because you can customise it and it has a great developer scene. What is this forum for if not for these kind of challenges. I would love the mini apps on my xoom. Hell, all the time the Android side shouts about how great the multitasking is and that Ios does not have the real deal...but seriously, as a normal user you do not see a big difference (am I defending IOS....good lord...!). Mini Apps would be a great way to rectify that. And Google should have those kind of stuff in stock in the first place. And the updated Samsung Browser is supposed to be blazingly fast.
So yes, if any of the developers here would port parts of it, it would be greatly appreciated.
I would also love to have the Touchwiz UI ported to the Xoom. If not the whole thing than some features at least. If anyone can help with this it I would love it as well.
yup love to see touchwiz us on the xoom
Which do people prefer on their Xz1?
I personally use Gravitybox as Xblast has been more hassle than it is really worth.
Anyone else use something different?
gravity box, pretty neat.
i just wish it had an option to leave the notification bar unmodded.. i like other features of gravitybox, but the navbar i whould actually like to leave as is...

Good shout on the statusbar mod.
Xblast is the one for me, nice and simple
Only need gravity box, there isn't anything i need that xblast could provide.
GravityBox works fine for me, but CRT Screen Off animation doesn`t look that beautiful, as it should be (Too fast or smth like that)
Is there a comparison of the two anywhere? I can't find one and I'd like to see the two feature list side by side....

Yeah a comparison is something I would also be interested in.
Gravity Box
i whould like to swtich my post from earlier, i started using xblast recently and it seems better.
more costumization options and you can leave the startus bar unharmed unlike in gravitybox, plus the features that lets you choose notification light for different apps is free, unlike gravitybox which is only in paid version.
I use Xblast, have better customizations but I like Advanced Power-off from GravityBox. Remain unclear to me why I cannot have Transparent bars with both of them, gravity or xblast don't do this job on 4.3.

Hey modders, I was wondering if you can make a transparent/translucent Navbar that I can use throughout apps, I know about the immersive mode.
I feel Iv looked almost everywhere with no result as to why it can't be done or hasn't I would settle for it changing with my apps but I can't use xposed since I'm on 5.1
Thanks in advance for any help/info.
Nexus Titan 6
Guess that's a nope.
Yes, for me that's a feature that I would live to have,UV been asking about this for awhile now and I never get a answer. I don't understand why this can't be done or if devs just don't wanna tackle it. There's a modual in xposed that let's us fad the navbar but it just come back,I don't like the fade feature. I would gladly donate if someone would make this happen. Let's start a petition lol.....

Yea man, same here there's just not enough people liking the magic of it. Personally I think it adds more screen relestate for viewing. I have talked to some guys over on G+ in bitsyko layers project and apparently he is doing it. But you'll have to use layers.

You can use ultimate dynamic navbar pro to do this. I currently have my navbar transparent. Also, it expands your desktop when you make your navbar transparent so you really do have more screen real estate. Unfortunately, it won't let me post the link for it but you can find it in the play store

Iv tried it. It uses more system resources, also it has only made the whole navbar disappear lol
I'm looking for the stock navbar with no black background. Just like on the homescreen.

You can do that with udn, it hides your real navbar and put a an exact clone to replace it. Then you go to theme and make the background clear

I understand that lol. The navbar I posted is UNB's basic theme but is customizable if you purchase it and can be transparent. It's obviously not a stock hack or anything but I was confirming it's an identical solution that works for 5.1, assuming you're rooted.

I bought it awhile back, didn't do what I wanted an had 4.4 Navbar icons didn't enjoy it.
Using layers the customize my Navbar icons.
Guys, is there something new? I also want to disable the black color behind the buttons
woookay now.
1 : The devs don't owe us, anything. They can build whatever the hell they want. Plus, most roms now are some sort of kang of another. Why else would most roms have pertty much the same features then?
2: This is all on the assumption that apps don't theme the navbar, and that they have coded the app to display at where the navbar is. I've done a fully transparent status and navbar build for my nexus 4 and while it works fine on launcher, it would bug out with artifacts when using other apps or it just returned to grey.
BUT, devs are amazing so they could probably make this work. However, there are much more important things to be done before modifying on the looks of android. So please, just be patient or try and do it yourself.
Obviously you guys don't feel the way I do.... I hate the navbar. I don't use it. Such a waste of screen. Have you tried something good like pie or an alternative to the navbar? I'd suggest that. But to each his/her own.

I like pie, but I also enjoy the navbar since its faster click wise for me. I would rather
There be light up soft keys. And the 6in screen that would have made it 100x better.
