If you hate these types of threads why read them?
[Android Software Development] HoochieCoo:
Because he is a child who is trying to goad the dev (and others). He/she/it is a troll. Block.
[Android Software Development] baboonsRus:
Join me in demanding that developers satiate the needs of pirates and trolls with half done work, ensuring clones and knock offs dilute the market to the point where their opportunity to make any kind of earnings from their talent and toil completely vanish.(insert sarcasm here);p

What a clown.
[Android Software Development] mossination:
Can I have a beta apk? Ill pay you in gum.
[Android Software Development] Looneyrat:
Lol. Seriously... I wan apk naos.
[Android Software Development] Rogoshin:
Is that not quite obvious from his posts.
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
Ok guys, let it go. The dev are not obliged to post anything at all. They could start the app and then decide not to update it and there would be nothing wrong with it. Not saying they would. Too many people have come to XDA with expectations and ill give you a news flash. The only thing you should expect to get from XDA is knowledge everything else your entilted to is in my sig
[Android Software Development] Looneyrat:
Anger management anyone? I bet you have holes all over you shack from freesbeeing your epic across the room.

But seriously, calm down.... We just want the apk for the free one. Nothing else, not asking for their first born. Its looks so good that we the people are demanding its release asap.

OP. I know I said I would release the apk if I was selected to beta test. I have second thoughts on that statement. Gimme apk and I promise to NOT release it. Thanks. I await the apk.
[Android Software Development] mossination:
Sorry lol I was just kidding. I don't even have any Trident layers. Its the devs decision when, how, and to who to release the apk too. If you want it so bad then make it yourself. I don't like having to wait either but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
[Android Software Development] Mello^:
And thats the way A huh a huh, I like it~ a huh a huh~…

You guys need to chill, just fcking wait -_-
[Android Software Development] GSX-Rob:
NM. Had my coffee. Calmed down.
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Don't feed the troll

Seriously, just add the trolls to your ignore list and move on
[Android Software Development] The Archangel:
I don't need anger management at all, when I start acting like that,I must be pissed. "Freebeeing your epic", idk what your trying to say, but I don't own an epic at all. Just because you want something doesn't mean you have the right to get it or deserve it yet.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Sent from my fist to your nuts, enjoy!
[Android Software Development] The Archangel:
Well spoken my friend.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Sent from my fist to your nuts, enjoy!
[Android Software Development] Looneyrat:
Sorry, I meant "freesbieing". But anyways.... Go see anger management asap.
[Android Software Development] Looneyrat:
That was uncalled for.
[Android Software Development] The Archangel:
Oh ok that makes more since now, but ya me an anger management don't mix. Your pix makes me wonder, if you like to start drama.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Sent from my fist to your nuts, enjoy!
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
Really guys? Come on. This is gonna go 3 ways. 1. Yall knock it off 2. I start banning people or 3. I close this thread. Your choice. Either chill out and let it go or I am gonna have to take it to the next level.
[Android Software Development] The Archangel:
I'll stop.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Sent from my fist to your nuts, enjoy!
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
We'll release ROU Launcher when it's ready. We're not releasing it before then, so stop asking.

If this thread needs to be closed, and reopened when we release our app, so be it. It'll hopefully only be a few months :)
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for saying that redbullcat. All I've been seeing is people asking for betas and I'm just here waiting patiently. Hopefully you can do this and help the guys on the sensation with ics
[Android Software Development] relldroid:
A few months? how is early december a few months? I was expecting a few weeks
[Android Software Development] trickster2369:
Punishment for all caused by the actions of a few. Your expectations do not equal their deadline. When they are ready to release it, it will either be worth the wait or it won't.
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
We've had setbacks, including our lead dev going AWOL since the start of November. This severely set us back by about one to two weeks.

We might get it out in December. I don't know. We have a lot of features planned for post-release.
[Android Software Development] Looneyrat:
Here we go! I bet you it aint dec. And we will hear it all tbru out next year. Close this tbread.
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Just reported you for continually trolling our thread.

GTFO.
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
I am gonna give you one warning. Let it go. There are no ETAs on XDA even if the Dev gives one then it is taken more as a maybe. Things happen that can delay an even prevent releases.

Let it go
[Android Software Development] claus1953:
I really don't get some of the people on here, they do not contribute anything but yes.... they complain and urge the developers to release their work and comply with deadlines like they were their employers or bosses...this is just ridiculous.

Come on people be patient and not childish, you will get the app when it is ready... or just build your own one. I am waiting like you all for this very promising UI since the beginning of this post, check every now and then the progress posted here, but never never i would criticize or urge the developers.
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
if only i knew what AWOL means... help please :)

take your time to make this a good experience!

but maybe you can post a new screenshot?
[Android Software Development] buzzboy:
*Reference to last post*

Absent without leave.

[Android Software Development] itsmefu:
AWOL = Absent without leave
[Android Software Development] lesp4ul:
hummm, totally OOT few pages back. hey guys just ignore that TROLL. He is not the one who dev the app, nor buy his phone, must be his daddy's phone. :D:D
[Android Software Development] lactosedept:
Bummed I was chosen for Beta Testing, but still really excited about this Launcher no matter how long it takes. Since its Thanksgiving, I guess you could say I'm thankful for devs such as Team ROU. (corny I know haha)
[Android Software Development] Dhiraj:
I am also agree with you.December is the next month .should not be delayed for "few month",if they want to keep their promise .
[Android Software Development] Mrhoffmann:
So, did you pay money for this already?

No you did not, so don't claim anything.
[Android Software Development] HoochieCoo:
Was it a pinky-promise? Because if it wasn't, its not binding.
[Android Software Development] baboonsRus:
Any exciting progress updates for those of us willing to wait? I'd like to see this thread get back on topic.
[Android Software Development] bhu1:
A video sneak peek will be really good. And a good stable release in late December will be fine .
[Android Software Development] relldroid:
IMO

Probably a good idea,

I'm no hater nor a developer, but truth is yes team ROU is probably working hard to make something new, they dont owe anybody anything, but on the other hand just because we're not paying them doesnt mean we cant be disappointed when they say something and dont deliver, we expected something bcuz of what they told us, its a natural emotion for us humans, if the rule of xda is dont ask for ETA's then they shouldnt post them. The way i see it, we should just stop posting pointless stuff bcuz this thread isnt being updated anyway, and its only causing trouble, let them do their work and let us find something else to do besides whats going on now, unless someone with a beta posts something new or a dev makes an update, there's really nothing to talk about here right now...
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
I agree this thread is getting out of hand. I will close it up and the OP can contact me or any other mod to have it reopened when they have an update.

Thread closed

Speaking of the Legend, I dunno how you did it, but it runs...interestingly on Viettel.
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Will do! :)
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Over the next few days, we'll be releasing three new concepts for ROU UI/Launcher that cryshop has made. Once all three have been posted, they'll be posted here. But go to our Twitter and view them! Oh, and don't forget to follow us!

@teamROU
[Android Software Development] tyl3rdurden:
Here is the properly fixed transparent drawer. The concepts are being released on twitter so be sure to follow us! More progress coming very very soon ;)

That's blurred not low-res. :( But hey, it looks great! Hopefully it will be realised, I can't wait to have it on my phone.
[Android Software Development] onestoploser:
That looks pretty sweet! Can't wait to give it a try.

Sent from my Liquid Thunderbread HTC Thunderbolt
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Well, we didn't want to show off too much :)

Added tyl3rdurden's screenshot to the OP :)
[Android Software Development] Txambre:
Hi , when we see more screenshots of this launcher or one video ?? , i like this project , new launcher , new design....
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
There are blurry concepts on Twitter and more screenshots coming every so often. I'm also hoping that at the end of October we can have an open beta.

OK, new in-development screenshots in the first post!
[Android Software Development] HaloMediaz:
i will defenetly try it, once you guys release it :)
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Our first video of ROU UI is live! Link: http://youtu.be/oySGu0ztiqM

Follow @teamROU at Twitter for more info
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
i LOVE it! :D

one suggestion though:

i liked the dock + phone/text/mail indicator icons from the original concept better. Maybe there will be a way to choose between them?
[Android Software Development] cryshop:
Good news : we decided to have themes ;)
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
you sir/team are genius!

btw: thanks for the wallpaper^^
[Android Software Development] Hzu:
That is..... BEAUTIFUL!
[Android Software Development] Junnie:
hey man !! this is the best launcher i ever seen !!! sorry my bad english,i mean this so amazing !!
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Don't worry about your English, it's fine. Thank you :)

We'll have more to show off in the coming weeks guys :)

And yes, cryshop is an absolute genius :) :)
[Android Software Development] johnny quest:
I'm really excited to see this. It gives hope for something new for our phones. I love the video. I can't wait for this to come out. Please don't let it be like those other launchers that never came out. They all had videos but nothing came out of it but false hope.
[Android Software Development] leolawliet:
*jizzed*
[Android Software Development] :
This looks so good please make it compatible with qhd display
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
It runs on my Sensation just fine :)

And the launcher is in development! You should see it before the end of this year :)
[Android Software Development] :
How about making a ROM for it since its a you
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
ROU UI isn't just the launcher. It's a whole new UI. We just haven't showed that part of yet. There's so so so much more to come :)

If you look at what MIUI or Fusion Garage with their Grid OS did, that's what we want to do with ROU UI :)
[Android Software Development] :
nice, i cant wait for it!
[Android Software Development] Gnaver:
Awesome work...when its done ill be glad to pay for it, just amazing work (im in love with weather already)
[Android Software Development] CESAROX:
I cant wait for this. I wouldn't mind paying for this either. Great job fellas!

Sent from my stone tablet using a hammer and chisel.
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Thank you guys :)
[Android Software Development] eoghan2t7:
i cant wait for this to be released will it be rom universal because if your doing the whole UI would that not mean the framework will need edited??
[Android Software Development] youtube10:
How did you know???? O.o??
[Android Software Development] tyl3rdurden:
We will be doing our best to keep it framework independent and release it as apps and perhaps later on release metamorph zips for root users who want to theme it further ;)
[Android Software Development] HTC HD2 MAN:
Will this be a downloadable launcher from the market or will this be available to ONLY rooted users?
[Android Software Development] iOSh8er:
Looks great guys.. Cant wait!
[Android Software Development] Pandemic:
Amazing !! goodjob

when is the release and can i

use it on my xperia x10i?

cheers.
[Android Software Development] Jon2555:
This is awesome!!!
[Android Software Development] tyl3rdurden:
We are looking for a mid/early december release date. However, we're looking for some extra devs so if we can pick up some extra talented ones we could accelerate the process. And it will be available through the market, no root required.
[Android Software Development] treUse:
Would if I could...

Looking forward to december then, looks amazing so far ;)
[Android Software Development] Bayton:
Will it run nicely on the Dell Streak? :)
[Android Software Development] milesjohnson:
Cannot wait for this!
[Android Software Development] zAo_:
This looks really nice! Looking forward to it!
[Android Software Development] cwhitney24:
Looks good!

I got your 10 char right here
[Android Software Development] TheDeadCPU:
Are we going to see a public/closed beta before this date?
[Android Software Development] Gr8Danes:
If so, I'd be interested in beta testing it for you also. ;) Looks really nice. Eagerly awaiting.
[Android Software Development] ajftl:
Me too. Love to give it a run... Gs2
[Android Software Development] pablomentabo:
I'd like to test this out too
[Android Software Development] kingdazy:
what I'm wondering is if you're going to charge something redonkulous like $15 for it, like that other alt.launcher company. ;)

(ps, I'm mostly kidding. it looks delicious. Thank You for your hard work, btw. I love a dev.)
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
They've already stated that they'll price it at around the same as LPP or ADW Ex
[Android Software Development] GazaIan:
Looks sexy, I like it.
[Android Software Development] BigD18t:
this looks quite nice, looking forward to trying it out.
[Android Software Development] tyl3rdurden:
Yep. Late November we will be having a closed beta so stay tuned ;)

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Also, I assure you that we will never charge an exorbitant price like 15$ ;)
[Android Software Development] ReubenRene:
Very impressive and when available I would also love to beta test it for you
[Android Software Development] TastyTorge:
looks very nice! great job, looking forward to test it
[Android Software Development] BugsBunny891:
looks awesome. please dont dissapoint me and take months to put out a release. even if it is buggy i MUST try this out on my phone
[Android Software Development] hellalucard:
It looks fantastic so far. I also would love to beta test on my Nook Color and HTC inspire.
[Android Software Development] Joecascio2000:
The video looks SOO promising. Can't wait to test it out. I just want to mention and maybe put into consideration that the amount of RAM used not exceed 26 MB. For my experience if the RAM used by a launcher is higher than that the launcher reloads a lot and becomes very laggy. But it also depends on the device. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S (see sig below) that has a total amount of 341MB Ram. Newer devices could probably handle the extra RAM usage but not the older devices, I just hope those stay in consideration.
[Android Software Development] Hzu:
I agree. I hope the UI will be optimised for phones with low RAM, but keeping it's beautifulness at the same time.

Also, inform us when there are any closed or open beta testing phase or anything. I'd love to try it out and of course, send feedbacks, bug reports, etc.
[Android Software Development] lazerax:
Looks gorgeous. I like the favorites concept. Definitely going to check it out.
[Android Software Development] dizgustipated:
I would love to test and help run on a larger screen device, such as SGT7

If interested, let me know
[Android Software Development] ParotZ:
I really love it
[Android Software Development] TeamROU:
[TeamROU] ROU UI & Launcher [WIP][10.11.11]

Team ROU - Aiming to bring a simple, yet elegant UI to Android

*We are currently looking for experienced developers to release the launcher faster so if you are interested in helping us, please contact our head developer at horangl3e[at]gmail[dot]com*

Members:

redbullcat - Publicist / Organizer

cryshop - Head Concept & Graphics Designer

tyl3rdurden & linuxmotion - Head Developers

mohit1234 - Graphics Designer

wozzall - Team Admin

The launcher is based off of cryshop's UI from March and has been updated quite a lot since then. You can find the latest concept video here

You can follow us on our Twitter for the latest updates :)

You might think 'oh hey another cool concept but its probably gonna stay at that' BUT, we are IN development and in early alpha stages with a working launcher. Here are some alpha build screenshots:

We are doing our best to bring it to you as soon as possible and with hopefully more developers interest(get experienced developers to contact us!), we hope to do exactly that. Stay tuned for more updates on the launcher and other apps we have in mind.

ROU Launcher Release Information:

Closed Beta Test: Late November

Market Release: Early/Mid December

We appreciate the huge influx of interest but we are currently NOT ACCEPTING beta testers so please DO NOT contact us or ask us for beta testing yet. We will be sure to let you know when we will be asking for applications for our closed beta during sometime late November.
[Android Software Development] Hzu:
Awesome, new screenshots!

That clock looks weird though.
[Android Software Development] tyl3rdurden:
Its missing the weather thats why :)
[Android Software Development] dizgustipated:
Really like the concept.

If you want or need any testing/possible work done on a large screen device, ie Samsung galaxy tab 7, please let me know.
[Android Software Development] jobankler:
Looks cool but needs alot more work!
[Android Software Development] gajahwhite:
lev it.. ^_^
[Android Software Development] gajahwhite:
hope this will released soon.. :D
[Android Software Development] downloadzy:
Hi there..

I watch the video, it is very nice

I decide to replace my Go Launcher EX with yours if it is beat it.

any way, I suggest you to fix the shadow effect, it will be most beautiful if you make the shadow more soft and little bigger area.

I just see this effect in two systems,

1- iPhone

2- Some MIUI rom's

So can we enjoy your launcher with this enhancement?

I Hope,
[Android Software Development] ingro:
Good luck for your work, it looks promising! :D
[Android Software Development] Hzu:
Interesting. Anymore widgets to show? :P Nah, let's keep the screenshots away for now. Surprise us. :D
[Android Software Development] marianoitalianoo:
HI

If I can suggest one modification. The applications dock shaped as grey "ring", U could add the possibility to swype it left or right to make it rotate and therefore have more items in it. So it could be like a gig circle with only part visible, that u can rotate :)

[Android Software Development] allenrb2:
This looks awesome
[Android Software Development] energie:
Wow great work ;)
[Android Software Development] pletko:
yup, awesome work. one more suggestion, coming from go launcher: task manager within app drawer, something like the one on go launcher. and i would also like to apply for beta testing. SGS here.
[Android Software Development] howdid:
can´t wait to test it out on my desire 560 mb ram should be good :D
[Android Software Development] LPHS:
would be awesome if you guys could support it on tablets based on Honeycomb
[Android Software Development] Dimitris19:
It looks really nice from the video

Great work guys :)
[Android Software Development] eezdva:
I have a question. But will this app be for free? Or if it's payed a free version with adds and a paid version without?
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
Paid version and a free version. Dunno about ads, we as a team still need to discuss that.
[Android Software Development] raven198:
Looks great, can't wait to try it. We shall see how it runs on an old phone.
[Android Software Development] GANJDROID:
Been wanting this since the first concept was posted.

Glad to see this is actually being made, and made well! Amazing job so far guys :D
[Android Software Development] inihccor:
Awesome! Hope it will work on ldpi devices (as my Galaxy Mini :D)
[Android Software Development] alesandro:
please add me to alpha testers :) ,, looks absolutely gorgeous ! cant wait to get my hands on it :D
[Android Software Development] Green Pancake:
This launcher looks very promising. Hope it's as smooth as on the video.

I have a DHD ready for testing, & I can send logcat reports if you need it. :)
[Android Software Development] djkidy123:
Great work there, need testers, here i am!!!
[Android Software Development] Va_Alexander:
Thanks for your work in this field. Please add a functionality to group apps into folders in appdrawer, and when you pick shortcut and drop it on another shortcut it makes a folder, like on iOS (sorry for comparing but it is very usable, for me).

Video is cool keep your work idea is 1 for thousand ;)
[Android Software Development] qzem:
I think another "Slick UI" is happening :P.
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Perhaps. Maybe more time should be spent developing, rather than advertising?

That said, I trust cryshop not to let us down. :D

EDIT, and I suppose it's nice to know that they're still alive. Can we stop with the "I wanna test" comments though? Some of us subscribe to this thread to stay up to date with the development. ;)
[Android Software Development] Fasciana:
I realy looking forward to test ROU UI, looks very promissing ;)
[Android Software Development] rhmariano:
pick me!!

need an alpha tester?! here I am! :rolleyes:

A feature that most launchers lack but I need. Sign me up for alpha testing. Nice to see how it runs on a Moto Atrix
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
We have enough people in the team to have one person responding to users' questions here, on Twitter and on YouTube while having developers making the app, and some others working on the next video and the next brand new app from teamROU.

I trust you guys. The fact you have actual screenshots puts you ahead of most of the other projects like this.
