has anyone seen the tv show "Undercover Boss"???

most CEO's/owners don't know how to do ANYTHING besides put together a team and deligate a vision....

so just because the OP doesn't know how to do any coding or programming or anything like that, he still has ambition, motivation, vision, etc...

some people are a great driving force behind others to accomplish a specific goal..

so as he may not bring anything to the table as far as implementing a new UI, he might be able to create a team capable of doing it..

im just sayin...
[Hero CDMA General] rjj1976:
jonnythan, do you ever have anything positive to say, your avatar is perfect for you.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
the problem is as i said before...the hero is a slower android phone and it's a damn shame. most UI's slow it down. some of the animations you guys want would bring it to a crawl.
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
You assume, it would, and honestly you kind of looking like you 'ass'u'me'.... IMO, if if can run my live wallpaper, it can at least have a cube type deal like the Touch Vogue. How fast was that processor? Only 400Mhz, Compared to the 528Mhz we have in our Hero's.

I mean, unless you have been coding something similar, and can provide proof for your statements please take the negativity else where. Ok, we are clear you dont want to help. Why cant we be free to do what we want? I understand you're not physically stopping anyone, but the negativity isnt helping ANYone.

C'mon dude, just like at PPCgeeks, dont like the thread? Dont read it.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
im all for new UI's and such...if you guys can make it work, i say good luck and ill try it out. sense slowed my phone too much and i went with a non-sense rom and it's pretty fast. im giving my opinion, not telling you guys not to proceed. i have a sick feeling the op won't even post in this anymore.
[Hero CDMA General] MagnusRagnarok:
Calling ALL Androids.....

I really like the ambition behind this idea,since i really love my hero and have since purchase. I thought maybe some sketches would have been nice to get a feel for his vision. Still appreciate the vision though. I am not a dev or a prog. However i am an artist and i repair android devices in my site,formum,and a few addl. forums. My android knowledge is extensive and i have been learning ever since i purchased my hero. I would really like to get in here but i have a few issues,as i dont have very much time but i would love to imagine(design the model) the ui idea and a few new widgets i have been thinking about or would like to see. Not to be confused with negativity. There is no room for it in a thread like this. What type of person threads to piss on ones optimism in making a better more enjoyable user experience for ALL of us?

ISSUES:

1)Sad but true,i love my hero but im already drooling over my next htc android device.....im SURE i am not alone...

2)There is a new home app that brings much of the general idea of your project to life and its already a finished product...and will begin beta testing very soon(for those signed up)If your idea was a bit more refined we could differentiate between the two.I am willing to help with that issue,just show me that your concept is different.

3)Our hardware is from 2007 and our days our#d:( Yes makes me sad as well

so to put a bunch of time & effort into something that will not be finished before most hero's upgrade,is a really discouraging factor imho.

I appreciate your android optimism,i love android as well(WEARETHEROBOTS)

and wish you the best,and i will put some of my ideas together and i will keep an eye on this project to monitor its development. When my help is needed I will be here.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Hi there :-)
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
I'm really interested in seeing this home app, could you link me? As my vision is still in its growing stages, I sincerely doubt it will even come close, but I would LOVE to hear your idea's, and definatly what it would take to make this UI a different experience then the home alt you were refering too.

I am glad to know you have our back.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Thanks for the support :-D

Imagine V1 will most certainly be able to run on the Hero, very stable and strongly. Eventually however, I'd like to think it will move onto other phones. In the meantime, lets focus on the Hero, and make this 3year old device like new!:p
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
The Hero is a powerful device, and will be able to hold down Imagine thoroughly. Imagine is only a new take on Sense and Rosie in general. Bringing together the best, throwing away the useless, and making this obsolete piece of software a ticking entertainment and information bomb.

Off subject, but I hate live wallpapers. Trip me out when I'm stoned
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Agreed. This is Android, not WM. Imagine will however, bring the user a large pool of customization, like never before. I can only "imagine" you and everyone else will find something you like.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Thanks for the suppoer hart.

There will always be pessimists along the way, but its the dream and the USER that will keep this..ahem.."project" alive
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
You got it down to the T bk!

I will in no way shape or form try to run things, but I will most certainly unite the right people to achieve a common goal; bringing Android to the next level.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Sinister, I like the cube idea so far. Only thing is, it has to be functional, unlike the Samsung Galaxy cube (fail). Also, what if we dropped the whole idea of a toolbar, and built it into the notification pull-down menu. I'm thinking of where it says Sprint (or w/e carrier you have), we put buttons in that top part? That would help the homescreen stay clean and minimal.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Wow man, good idea! Keep 'em coming!
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Nice! I had the same idea, and as a reaction from the USER, we would have to wipe it away (this option could, obviously be disabled)
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
:-) best responder ever!!
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
unfortunatly, this is Android, not WM, and therfor I highly doubt the rest of the community have the urge to duplicate the WM UI. However! Imagine will bring revolutionary custimazations, so I can personally promise you will find something you like, and fall in love with Hero all over again!
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
My original idea was very similiar, but it seems the rest of the community is only going to support if they know its going to be as aesthetic. I think the 3D cube is the way to go.

You're second idea is very intriguing, please, tell me more!
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
We're happy to have you aboard!

Keep in touch regularly until we have a beta up, and the Google Wave is up and running.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
I personally find the notification bar extremely functional and appealing the way it is, lets see how the rest of the community votes. I AM looking for idea's to clean up the home screen, so this might just be that option. This is a group effort, so we must be fair. Once Imagine is 100%, I'm sure you'll have the options to remove whatever function you dont like. I will take a look at the Galaxy's UI and get back to you on that. I was not aware another phone was running a cube for see-all-hms.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Nevermind, it is the Samsung Behold II.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
How about to add more homescreens, instead of the limited 6 on the cube, we can ADD MORE CUBES? When you enter helicopter view, we can have up 3 cubes, 6 screens each. you can see the cubes floating, tap on the one you want; the other two will pan out and the selected cube will enlarge to give you acess to the screens.

This, of course, might not be able to be done on the Hero, but RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND, doesnt it just sound like FUN?!
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
And when in "helicopter" view, the cubes rotate slowly using openGL! haha, that sounds great, and I hope we can see this happen
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
You're going to need real, actual coders. XDA is not the place to find these people. Are you recruiting elsewhere?
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Hmm...I believe the folks here are able to pull together and make it happen. I havent been doing so much recruiting, as Ive been pouring over forums to get an idea of how this project should progress.

If we combine everyones ideas and utilize our skills, having a member of the team to contribute a piece of work that specializs in whatever their best a (here, I will actually be able to help and contribute) we'll have a huge puzzle and everyone will have put their piece in
[Hero CDMA General] asapelectric:
I think I know what home app you are talking about! I signed up too. I do not bring anything but imagination, but have a willingness to donate money as things progress and we can implement some of this. I think I speak for many who would do the same. Some of us just don't have tons of time to work on learning all this, but sure do enjoy your efforts, devs. So there, Asapelectric, donator and possibly some good ideas.
[Hero CDMA General] kniteshift:
Interested!
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
This sounds incredibly interesting, especially the weather widget that freezes the phone, or has a ripple effect.

Unfortunately, I could only beta test..I'm skilled in nothing else..

But I DO support this!
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
haven't seen our leader on here in a few days! :rolleyes:

anyways...id recruit elsewhere as well, not just xda.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Indeed. Ive been poking around, but xda has given the best reaction. People who have volubteered, expect a PM from me before the weekend, and the rest of the community expect a big update, including news, sketches, and hopefully screen shots of the first running beta sometime in mid-april.

Everyone stay tuned, stay united, and more importantly, keep imagining.
[Hero CDMA General] Bielinsk:
You cannot do this
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
IMAGINE

Curious if you still wanted to be apart of the team. We could really use you, as we take the first steps in creating the most functional and aesthetic UI. I hope to team up again, and start a project on the Nexus 1.

You would make a most vital part of the team. I look forward to being friends and coluges.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
You have been reported. Please leave this thread and do not come back.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
Reported is a little harsh isn't it?

Anyway I would love to help with this, but I don't know any java :(
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Ive asked several times to to troll in another thread. Negativity is not welcome anywhere, especially here.

Any support is welcome, especially ideas!
[Hero CDMA General] animal7296:
On a side note; Sinister, your sig needs fixed to say WITH not WOTH. LOL just playin and hope that this works out and sees the light of day. Good luck to all involved.

EDIT: forgot to say what I came in for. I was thinking, how about the user interface evolves and changes depending on how the user uses the phone daily. Say you use certain apps more than others, those are automatically added to the main screen and ones that are not are removed automatically. If said user does not remove them already.

Just a thought.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
Like I said, I don't know java, but I do know some C++ and I am very good when it comes to Linux.

As far as ideas go, the man thing that would make this project a success would be heavy integration with the OS and social networks, along with eye candy that dosn't lag the system down.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
I like the idea, but I would hate to have extra shortcuts start poping up and disappearing on my home screen. This might work better for the launcher, so that the most used apps show up at the very top
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
If you got into the object oriented stuff of c++ then the leap to Java isn't that big.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
Really? I had never really looked into Java. Mabey it is time to go rent a "Java 101" book from the library, unless someone is willing to give me a crash course on Java. I really want to see this UI make it :D
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
When I used WM for three months, its UI had the concept of displaying recently used apps in the tray, but this is obsolete with long pressing of home button. For me it is, at any ratr. The launcger will be a user decided app tray. No more shortcuts to your most used apps, you will be able to scroll left to right in the app dock placed between special Phone buttons and App Drawer arrow.

The sync between social networks will be within the widgets I have in mind, while still intergrating the usual contact, calender, and status updates sync.

This UI willnot be laggy as it willbe built to suit the Heros hardware in a more functional way than Sense.

Still looking for someone with the appropiate knowledge in programming to help build the infrastructe. Basically a blank canvas built to maintain widgets and communicate with the phones radio. From there, people will be able to easily flash this quick beta and back to be able to submit feedback, as to how to progress from there.

Please dont mind if I dosappear for a few days. I have a job and am a musician along with a novel I have been working on for almost 8 months. Take note I do check the thread daily, and will make contact once the first team member is recruited. I will update as much as I can with new ideas, and respond to as many ideas, questions, and "aye"s as possible.

Also, Ive been posting in some other forums, and plan on expanding the buck. Suggestions?

Thanks for all the support, and remember. Imagination is the key. Being united is as important as being creative, cause one without the other is nothing at all.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
Haha thanks for the correction.

Your idea is appreciated, and I hope you take part in future dev!
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
sooo.... What's happening with this?
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I AM IN NO WAY SAYING THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!

THIS THREAD WAS CREATED TO PROVE THIS EITHER TRUE OR FALSE!

I personally have never bricked a phone, so didn't do this and cannot really confirm it, but reading over the thread it seems like it has worked for numerous people. The only problem with this is I would have imagined it would have blew up and everyone would know. If this does work, I wanted to share it. I understand how much a bricked device can get under one's skin. Anyways, it's also an older thread. (From 14th October 2009) Found it playing around in Sapphire Android Development but here's the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571457

Any thoughts on this? Some people say it worked, so people say it didn't. One guy said keep pulling cord out then plugging in and it will eventually catch it and install. I want to try and get this more out in the open and see if it actually does work, or if it doesn't.

I'm not trying to post spam, or raise hopes and just crush them. If this works, though, I want EVERYONE to know about this, if it doesn't - it was worth a try.

EDIT: I forgot to put this - I also want to know what an actual brick is. Is it actually where the phone won't turn on at all? If so - this isn't for a brick. However, the most common way I hear "brick" referred to as is "phone won't get into recovery, bootloader, or boot." If a brick is where your phone won't turn on - this is not for you. Once again, though, if you can get to splash screen this may be able to save you!
[G1 General] crackmunky:
I've tried this method for a while with no provail, atleast on windows 7. It seems that some people can get their devices reconised by their operating systems while others cant, if this is the case then possibly fastboot can reflash it. Mine charges the device but does not identiy it at all.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyleo:
Hi,

I've searched all over the web, but somehow i couldn't find the default sony ericsson/xperia ringtone. (searched for "default sony ericsson ringtone") I flashed my xperia and it doens't include the ringtone and since i'm very used to it, i would love to have it back. Can anyone upload the SE tone for me/give me a link.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordje:
I've saved the original ringtones!

You can download a pack with all original Xperia (x1) ringtones here: http://rapidshare.com/files/364271669/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_X3__Rachel_.rar

Just unpack it with winrar and put it on your phone!

Good luck!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eh_hk:
I am using X10, and I am searching the original ringtones also,thanks;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin100:
If you manage to find some, then also share here so i can also make use of it!! thanks in advance..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj___:
Could you please reupload it somewhere else..?

Because, you know, sites like this one don’t last long...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djteotancolis:
does the fuze come with a led indicator? cuz my phone doesnt show any? so i dont see any blinking lights...pls help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
no it doesnt not come with any LEDs. there is a light around the center button that serves as notification of new calls, etc
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djteotancolis:
thanx mate
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.

If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

Thanks to maisonpulaski for the help in repositioning the out going message header (Me) to the far right and of course astronout for creating this in the first place.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] vekh:
Working fine and looks great :) Thanks.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] mirost1:
Yo, computer guy - ther look nice :D
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
You're welcome :D

Glad, the work is appreciated.

@mirost1: Computer guy? dunno what you mean :rolleyes: just kidding.

Yeah they look nicer on the phone than the pics make out huh?

I'm making another original skin like Omnia atm (I like the Omnia skin, looks kinda neon-ish) but my next skin is going to be completely different.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
180+ views and only 3 replies?

Interesting!

Heres a new one:

Download Omnia Blue

also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.

I'll post it here when its done.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] mpatate:
Thanks you !

I've take OBlue recoloured !

Good job !
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Glad you like it dude.

The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Frank C:
Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.

Thanks :)
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Frank C:
Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green :)

Even the glossy can be removed......

Thanks....
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
I dont mind doing just plain text boxes if thats what you'd prefer.

I'll get working on it after ive finished my current skin, wont take 10 minutes.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] phyoe2004:
don't know why

Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Odd are you using a touch 2/mega? because if not there are 2 additional steps required. let me know.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] miesja23:
how can i back to the default theme?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
you cant!

just kidding

go to setting > system > remove applications and find the skin, soft reset and you're done.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] flopyro:
nice app ! love it !
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] htcshane19:
much better, keep up the good work. :D
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] phyoe2004:
Thanks. Now I got it. Very very nice themes.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] max86max:
cool themes
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] moopile:
Wow, these are great. Very good work! Thanks !!!!

Hope to try one soon.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Thanks guys :)

The animated one sorta bummed out and crashed my phone (it just showed japanese/chinese gibberish((sorry to any chinese/japanese people, I love your writing, even though i discribed it as...well..yeah get over it)) so I've binned that idea.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] moopile:
I'm using the WM7 skin on an HTC Tilt2 (see sig for more info) and "Date and Time" bar go through the entire bubble. Any suggestions for fixing this on my end?

- Screenshot attached.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Yeah :p

wait for the 653 version cos you're using a version made for windows 6.5-6.5.1 :D
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] moopile:
Thought that is what you would say. Well, I still like the skin and will continue to use it as-is. Some others from the thread where I got the ROM are using your skins, some have had problems, others not.

Keep up the good work.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] qazqas:
Can you upload some pictures about the sms skins??
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Can you rephrase the question sir, I'm not to sure what you're requesting. The graphics required to make your own skin?

I dont need to upload them, you can extract them from any of the cab files and edit them however you like ;)

so I've seen, i think it might be to do with the size of the font, not too sure, all i know is trying to use 653 on my mega results in the same bug, thats why i started re-writing them to run on my phone.

I'll be starting work on W7Alt653 in a few minutes, should be fairly straight forward.

On another note, I have been working on a WP7 theme for those using mskip/arley12/lasscros wp7 themes. here is a preview:
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] moopile:
That would be great!

BTW, the image in this last post is my favorite so far !!!!

---Also in case you don't know, the WM7Alt image in post #1 is broken.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Thanks, and yeah it looks simple and nice, believe me it is a b$%#*&d to make though, the image "white point" beneath the input field was wreaking havock, as is the entirely black background, note the lack of any frames. I've had to enlist the help of someone else to fix this.

it'll be released shortly though. probably not today.

Thanks, image in post 1 updated.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] undecideddragon:
Hey Uppy, is it possible to get rid of the name and contact icon bar in the iPhone skin? it takes up a fair bit of space on my screen and I don't really use it

Cheers,

Dragon
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Yeah, it is certainly possible dude, but I'm backed up with requests (donations have been offered and beers bought) and stuff right now as well as my own personal projects, i'll do it when I have time. :)
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Now I have a bit more free time I'm going to resume making these themes.

Is it worth me updating my skins to be 6.5.x compatible?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] moopile:
+1 Been hoping for them.
