In fact, you need to asign on the link from the first post.
[Android Software Development] shockem:
Applied for both rom and app testing.
[Android Software Development] :
Anyway..... 28 applied until now, about 13 are accepted.

Extra advice: Put the things you know to do and not the things you don't.

Nothing for now. Application is still open. No final decision. Oh and donators get accepted automatically.

[Android Software Development] phonephoenix:
Even though it is a closed beta, I would like to see an updated screenshot or video. I think more people would be inclined to donate if we could actually see the progress. Just a thought.

is there a list of devices to be found?
[Android Software Development] :
you're wish came true. Just check second post. :cool:

what do you mean?
[Android Software Development] leventccc:
Can this work on one x ?
[Android Software Development] :
YES :)
[Android Software Development] sid5291:
New Screenshots look amazing !!! :) !! Does the Contact App have the social profiles integrated (something like the people hub in wp7?)
[Android Software Development] :
there will be an integration between social app and contacts BUT not to the extent of wp7. It only clutters the app.
[Android Software Development] Dr.Gonzo105:
You could release 2 versions then, one like wp7 and other one with less integration?

You could release alpha of both versions and then let the people decide which one they prefer :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] adfad666:
The screenshots look very interesting, clearly inspired by metro but with texture and depth, and yet it fits well with the ICS style too.

I'd like to know how you are planning to display apps on the launcher homescreen? I was always dissatisfied with the other WP7 style launchers that simply had the app icon in the middle of a flat tile. It was possible to add your own custom images but that's just tedious...

I would like to see the tile's background colour generated by the dominant colour of the app icon, like in windows 7 / Ubuntu unity, plus some nice gradients and glass effects to compliment it.

Including a nice bmp for each app is of course unrealistic, but a few of the major apps could be included in the roms and automatically applied, with the rest displayed as I described above.
[Android Software Development] sahhar1993:
I think it's only for phones. No tablets :p
[Android Software Development] Enterprise-D:
Just see the screenshots, and seems very promosing!

You also say that there will be 4 default UI, iphone, android, WP7 and another one. What do you mean by this? Are there like "themes"? (for exemple a theme for go launcher ex)
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
Tablets too
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
So, RedDrake, saw the screenshots. They are amazing. I'm gonna have too find a way to buy this hahaha.

Good luck, and congratulations.
[Android Software Development] Fasty12:
Hmm was the window 8 style scrapped? I remember you posting a youtube concept video that show the style much like the window 8 metro theme.
[Android Software Development] ratchet789:
Hey OP are you going to create a data base for tiles or we going to be able to use tiles from the sd card?
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
I'm not sure (I know I'm not the OP, but I was here following his job almost since the very beggining), but I think there will be something, such as a data base, likde you said, so we can download.

RedDrake, I know it may sounds selfish, but could I have a little mention somewhere for the site layout suggestion? Nothing big, just a little ''Thanks Felimenta97 for the layout idea''?
[Android Software Development] ronii1123:
I've been keeping a close eye on this thread for a few months, and I'm amazed at the screen shots, I truly can't wait until I can fork over my money for something that looks so professional and clean!
[Android Software Development] :
That is for tablets. We just started design for phones :) . Hold on

P.S. Inspired yes, but not w8

[Android Software Development] giannisgx89:
A huge collection of icons will be included in the final product with all popular apps and some non popular and also a PSD

file with masked layers for users to make their own nice tiles and not just plain background with completely white icon inside it. :)
[Android Software Development] pdppdp:
Screenshots are great. Did you think about scrollable tiles. So you can have like stacked wheather locations. Or folders you can browse through without opening by swiping up and down on the tile.
[Android Software Development] dhruvzz:
just saw da screenshots and ill luv to use it on my htc sensation xl...grt workk..
[Android Software Development] Draak22:
Wait... the w8 style is for tablets and not for phones? :(
[Android Software Development] yamandude:
don't get me wrong but ' did you saw the SkyD UI ' in the messaging screenshot ... ' saw ' is a grammatical mistake ... :P
[Android Software Development] Al3cks:
That's because English might not be his mother tongue, but this doesn't matter, did you actually see the SkyD UI? It's pure awesomeness :D

Ţine sus munca bună Vlad :P

Keep up the good work Vlad
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
It's language, actually (not tongue. In Brazil, the direct translation is tongue too, but the correct word is language). And SkyD is, in fact, pure awesomeness. I talked to DooMLord and he said he don't have time to work on SkyD. Oh, please, Doom, work on it, I beg you!!!
[Android Software Development] wyd4:
New screen shots are looking great.

Nice to see more and more updates in the post too.

Looking forward to taking a peek at the public beta.

[Android Software Development] watsonism:
is there a full list of supported devices somewhere?
[Android Software Development] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
The screenshots show a stylish theme, cool!

Now I'm very curious to see how the w8-like theme for tablets will be
[Android Software Development] :
Guys we got an offer today. We have to finish 2 games(about 1 month of development) and get a share of the income(we will be the ones selling the game). That will certainly solve our budget issue at the cost of a delay. What do you think? We could really use some additional funds and there seems to be no other sources of income, people don't yet donate to support the project.

I think it is your business to run and you need to make the choices best for that business. If you leave all decisions up to public opinion, the business will be run in to the ground.
[Android Software Development] :
Of course I will make my own decisions but I don't like delaying this project. And working on two things at the same time is bad as well.

[Android Software Development] navjot94:
People want some tangible proof of development before donating. All we have are some pictures which could very well be concept designs. Post some videos of this running on a actual phone and maybe some more people will have more faith in the project.
[Android Software Development] adfad666:
I agree, your 'screenshots' look very nice, but the duplicate / incorrect icons, and the nicely aligned flower icons make it clear it's not a set of real screenshots.

Something real, like a short video would be enough to convince most people. Your ideas look and sound great, but at the moment, that's all they are!
[Android Software Development] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
I think we can wait a little more if it will give you the chance of having more funds... I can understant it's not so easy to invest money in a project without knowing if/when the investment will be covered.

I agree that a video with SkyD running on a real device would be a good idea. No need for anything perfect, we know development is far from an end
[Android Software Development] :
I know a video will be usefull. Will try to get one in the following days. Dialer and contacts perhaps.

[Android Software Development] webstar1:
im just saying yeah but how come the time on each screenshot is 8:45

i mean when i take screens from my roms even the snappiest ones, taking 6 screenshots under a minute in different apps is kinda fast for a WIP dont you think :rolleyes:

and the fact that the signal on each screenshot is full, sounds too perfect as well, mine fluctuate quiet a lot.

i love this project but a video would be nice
[Android Software Development] mikeszf:
I find this project fascinating, and as everyone says I would like to donate, I will have to see how to find the USD because of the currency control of my country but if I found them I will definitely donate!

@red drake

You are motivated guy! its Steve kondik all over again (or kondiak, sorry)

But An advice/request. one way you can start out huge is by releasing it simultaneously for some hdpi as well as mdpi screens. Will give a lot more market awareness (ooh, using big words:rolleyes:). Cause miui doesn't natively supports mdpi's(and cm7 is not eye candy per se). You can use it to your advantage to gain the upper hand in mdpi rom wars.

Good to hear that, RedDrake. I just didn't get one thing. Who are the accepted ones? The first to sign? Or everyone who signed between a given date?

About the game, have you already decided if you're going to take the offer? I think you should. Just let us have a little bit time to time of the SkyD project and there is going to be interest for a good while.

You sign up. Then I decide who joins.

Not sure for now about the game.

For apps, closed beta very soon 2-3 weeks. For open beta will take a while.

For ROM open beta will take a long while, like 4-5 months. The amount of changes required is enormous. Closed beta could be earlier.

Edit:

Any web developers(with time and experience) willing to help?
[Android Software Development] Felimenta97:
RedDrake. I know we will have a lot of different themes, but I'm kinda confused. When we apply the themes, they will be applied to the whole phone (all the apps) or we will be able to do something like MIUI (we can select, for example, SMS with Metro UI, lockscreen with Android UI, and status bar from iOS?
[Android Software Development] :
All phone or you can choose individual themes for each app.

P.S 77 people applied, 20 likely accepted until now(based on device, developer or designer experience).

- Yes you were ;)

2) After beta is done, yeah, it's going to be on mark... Ops, Play Store (I hate this name changing :D ). Free with ads and built in unlocked for ad-free.

3)I don't know this one...

[Android Software Development] Bert.C:
You'll get a lot more donations when people start to actually see some development not just seeing what your writing about it.

In no way is this a flame or a rant or anything. I do a bit of developing so I know what's involved but people like to see things in fact people like to see videos of working apps etc.

The sooner you shows some real evidence the sooner you'll get donations. Me included. I've followed this thread for a while now and I also applied to be a tester.
[Android Software Development] :
I know the importance of that video. That's why I am working hard to finish it. By tomorrow or by Tuesday should be ready. Dialer/contacts and SMS will be in demo.

I will put that video for now. There is still some background work to be done before closed testing starts. Shouldn't be long in any case. We will have a second demo somewhere next week I think with notes, meteo and news.

P.S. All demo vids will have apps running on a real device, no emulators or whatever.
