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

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......
Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...
-mb
Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks. That file is really helpful! I'll post more screencaps when I can do some more work on the theme.

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478570
wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??
-mb
I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

The DL links are right below the pics for each post. Again, if I'm way off and you think my stuff sucks, disregard this post!
I love your theme btw!

that's too bad, one theme I was really looking forward to.
and no, dont know diddle about theming.
So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!
These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them
Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?
Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^
Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper
nice. Great job, keep it up.
How do I install these, they are AWSOME!
Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .
I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.
Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.
original wallpaper is here
Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.
Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...
LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!
It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?
I have Xperia M with CM13 installed, and the flat Google's interface and colours make me want to puke.
There is an awesome looking theme which I used on CM11 (apparently with old Galaxy S3 icons): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz.five.free
(or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790869)

First of all this's not a self advertising cause if you have eyes to check the top threads jn theming forum you'll see my theme So I'm giving a fact that my theme is good and popular.
Second thing I saw link and I didn't like (cause I don't like Samsung) So I thought it would be nice to show a good tested theme

These are exactly the icons I am looking for.

Google Sans Text Beta
In Google Design’s Best of 2019 page, Google used a new font called "Google Sans Text" (which is in beta as per the font name).
The page and the look of the font can be viewed here.
I really liked the leaner look of the font on my OnePlus 6 as compared to Google Sans and would like to share it with the community.
Currently there are only the Regular, Bold, Italic, Medium, BoldItalic and MediumItalic versions of the font and I could not find other variants.
I have made the basic correction of fixing the colon on lockscreen clock (Char U+EE01).
Two Options for attached files below:
Replace Full body fonts - MAGISK Google Sans Text Beta font.zip
Replace Headline fonts only - MAGISK Google Sans Text Beta Headline only.zip
Please remove other font modules, if installed, first before installing mine.
I have only tested and used English language on OnePlus 6 and found the font to be satisfactory for daily use.
Big thanks to @nongthaihoang for improving the font! Do check out his thread for multiple combinations and variations of the font along with the original Google Sans.
Can you make it so that only the headline font is replaced?

You sounds like a Vietnamese. I like that.
What do you think of helping me maintain the font?
I'll teach you everything I know so you can took over me. I'm looking for someone like that.
Btw, I like to have GS + GS text on my phone. It can't be better.

I love Vietnam! It's a beautiful country.
Your offer is very tempting and I would love to learn and help out more but currently I am going through a very busy phase at work. May I reach out to you after March, if you are still looking for an intern then?
I really like GS as well. Used it for the longest time on my phone. Lato is my favorite on PC. But I also like the curvier and lighter look of GS Text. Makes text more readable for me, while keeping the spirit of GS. It's a subjective thing, that's why there are millions of fonts and that's the beauty of customization.

- Thank you for you kind words about Vietnam.
- I took it as a Yes. Contact me whenever you have time my telegram.
- I'm using Ubuntu Linux and Lato is my favorite font too. What a coincidence!
I like GS for headline and your GSText for content. Can you send me your font (the untouched one) so I can make it fully compatible with android? I'll send it back to you when it's done.

Have you selected the default font before installing the mod? Did you install any other font mods or maybe themes before installing mine that have not been removed? The clock font does not seem to have changed at all, judging by the digit for 2. Can you test with the attached file and let me know please? Thanks.

Nah. There is no need for a separate zip. Everything will be fine with the new update.
You should also remove what so-called "colon issue" in the OP. It does not even exist.
The font should work from the day you install it until your phone die.
Yes, new 0.2 works without errors I think. Colon on lockscreen ok. Thanks!
is it possible to download it in .ttf or .otf format ?
