[Android Software Development] MrPadie:
Hi all.

So, just to give you all a small update on our progress - coding is making way. We are getting further to a completed product each day. I'm not going to give any ETA's on the product, because I think we all know how frustrating it is when developers cannot abide to their given ETA's due to all sorts of reasons.

The main reason for inactivity lately on this thread is because of two reasons:

1) We focus most of our attention on our private development forums (which will become a public forum once we start pushing the program out).

2) We've all taken a nice and relaxing break over Christmas and New Years. However, that break is over now, hence development continues.

Keep well guys, and I hope you will enjoy whats in store for you :)

MrP.

PS: @TheRedDrake - You've reached an all-time low of character. Really quite the inconsiderate developer, and I hope that this community see's that the way I do. Pity you have to spam our thread with inconsiderate and demeaning posts, because it would've been a lovely experience to have you as a friend amongst all the new UI's for Android. Next time, think about the implications of bashing a developers hard work (you, as a true developer, should know of all people how hard dev work can be sometimes) in their own thread. Any further unnecessary comments, and I'll see to it that you are dealt with directly by the XDA moderators in accordance to the XDA rules and ethos.
[Android Software Development] :
Sorry to everybody and especialy to the Devs of this project. It was not in my intention to spam the thread.I'm sorry that my statement turn into a flaming one. I will edit my posts, and hope all Quotes involving my initial statement are deleted. Hope we can fix this one up.
[Android Software Development] MrPadie:
@TheRedDrake - no problem, we'll keep it in the past.

Good luck with your dev work,

MrP.

I'm REALLY looking forward to it!!!!!!

dont forget the facebook sync for contacts in your dialer!!!! need to see the facebook pictures of my phonebook entries!!!
[Android Software Development] xperiax10.awesome:
Any updates please !!
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
in sweden we say someone who waits for something good never waits too long but right now I feel that we have waited tooooo long for just a word from you guys on how it goes :) I think you work hard discretely but would be great if we could hear/see something! :)
[Android Software Development] VictorWu:
It's really a great idea!
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
If everything goes according to plan our team will test the current build of KiteUI on Monday next week (January 24).

I don't want anyone, who has gotten a message from our lead tester, to be worried. This build is not ready to be tested on a large number of devices.

However, when we have gotten to the point where we feel that the phones of our developers are not enough, we will get in touch as long as you've shared your contact information with our test leader.

Official update to come on Tuesday 25th.

(If I can find the time I might post the update right after we've tested it out.)
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
who is your lead tester cuz id like test if when/if u need more tests
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
We've got more than enough testers waiting for our "approval" (in lack of better words). If we need more people to try it out for us we will express that in the OP, in which case you can contact us.

For now, however, please don't message us about wanting to be a tester.
[Android Software Development] :
Very nice! What about hiding the notification bar?

Xda app
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet
[Android Software Development] sergioalvarezmac:
+1

Or at least, make it transparent.
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
I wonderhow it handles Rotation ?!

Stupid xda app this is a g1
[Android Software Development] aloi_htc:
When is the download available?
[Android Software Development] marcel112:
Brilliant

Keep up testing, so the app can come out quickly...

Is there a release date yet?:(
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
Unfortunately there's no release date. Our team is all college students so we have to find time developing on our spare time when we're not studying (or partying ;p).

All jokes aside, we do try to release this as fast as we can and as soon as we have an estimated release date we will announce it.

[Android Software Development] silentmelodies:
just wondering, are the weather sprites all new /or created by you?

and by any chance can you share the wallpaper please? ;)
[Android Software Development] dialfonzo:
Interesting

Hi...

You probably don't care.. But i have a WoPad android 2.1 tablet and would like to test that UI... Look realy cool, many good ideas

Ok it's said

[Android Software Development] sacredsoul:
A small request here from the Dell Streak community... Please make it high resolution enough for the Dell Streak. We always miss out on uber cool stuff thanks to the 5 inch screen.

EDIT : If you ever need a tester for Streak, I'm all yours :)
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Its the 24th, hows the test build coming? :D
[Android Software Development] maxidimov:
Maybe if you can release the sources after you've finshed making it, so that people can port it to the QVGA phones?
[Android Software Development] Joolz03:
Any updates for the internal testing?
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
Not to sound rude but I think you guys need to relax on the testing and ETA requests. Again, not trying to offend anyone but all good things come in time. Anyway, this looks really great. Surprised I haven't heard about this until now but I'll definitely be checking back on progress. Keep up the great work!
[Android Software Development] d-lab:
Amazing, simple amazing.
[Android Software Development] maxidimov:
Here is the wallpaper for all those that wanted it. :)

Cropped from the video. :)
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
Thank you! Saved.
[Android Software Development] maxidimov:
No problem :) You still have to resize it to fit your screen perfectly. ;)
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
Especially since I have a Droid. Makes it even worse.
[Android Software Development] orangekid:
the streak is 800 x 480 like every other high-end android phone, so it doesn't really matter what the screen size is the same resolution is fine.
[Android Software Development] sacredsoul:
That's good to know. Didnt know there were other Android phones with that kinda resolution. :o
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
eager for any updates on this! :)
[Android Software Development] :
Can we get a port for the sony live view please?
[Android Software Development] d-lab:
because my english isnt good but, it is ready??

And if yes, can I use it on a Desire rooted?
[Android Software Development] maxidimov:
No. It's not ready. :(
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
People. They will put it in the first post of the thread when it is ready. Quit wasting space.
[Android Software Development] Crysis21:
i haven't seen any update in the last 2 months... i hope the project is still alive. it'a a nice idea
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
its alive and he said that he would update us with some new info the 25th or something but nothing yet :(

Recently wrote an article about the UI, check it out here!
[Android Software Development] flxdms:
One word: AAAAAAAAAAMAZING.
[Android Software Development] :
That's not an article, that's a description of a video of a mockup.
[Android Software Development] androidindian:
on sgs ?

Hi there.. will the UI work on samsung galaxy s i9000 as well?
[Android Software Development] Azkabor:
Will there be support for regular android widgets? Or do the developers have to adapt their widgets to support Kite UI?
[Android Software Development] corybucher:
Can't wait to see this work.
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
what happened to the update
[Android Software Development] itaios:
nice! i have htc desire and if u want i can be beta tester
[Android Software Development] theoottesen:
I'm with this guy ^^^^^
[Android Software Development] Kalavere:
I am really looking forward to seeing this released, it does look somthing special, that's for sure. :)
[Android Software Development] flipn0tic:
Color me excited. This looks sharp!
[Android Software Development] FireZenk:
Any update?
[Android Software Development] TheKoomba2010:
will this be a rom or launcher?

ps: pm me when u need testers! its soo frickin awesome

:D
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
It's likely to be a ROM, much like Muiui (or however it's spelt)

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
earlier in this thread they said that probably it will be a launcher and apps because porting it to different phones would be so much work for all the developers and they had no rom cooking skills =)

Im not sure if they maybe changed their mind but some months ago they said that =)
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Fair enough. :)

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Android Software Development] arkazain:
This project feels like it's abandoned D:
[Android Software Development] TheKoomba2010:
i hope its a launcher cause i have no knowledge of installing a rom...

lame....

:D
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
its not abandoned but its really sad that he first says that he will give us more information 25th-26th January and then just ignore us... :\
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
That's probably because they're tired of responding to questions concerning release dates, being a beta tester, and updates every other day. Not trying to sound rude or anything. But, a lot, if not all dev's grow tired of being asked a lot. I'm sure it's coming along quite well:)
[Android Software Development] dr1337:
Unless this guy shows the app running on an actual device, I'm calling KiteUI as good as vaporware.
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, I can't say I blame you. I'm pretty excited for this but I'm not much of a waiter. I try haha.
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
Yes they said that they wont give us a release date because they dont know so we should stop asking but the promised little info on the progress because he was going to do some testing on the 25th so he said he will write how it went!

I have no problem with waiting for this great app but I really dislike when people say that they will do something and then doesnt do it...
[Android Software Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Well, what kind of posts would you expect to see in a thread that is about something that is being released sometime in the future that no one can try for months or years.

Not really anything else to post except when will it be released or can I beta test it. It is not like we can discuss the UI that we can try or dig into.

XDA should have a rule that if you are going to post about a product you will be releasing, it needs to be released in a given time, whatever that may be, or the post will be deleted. Then we will avoid all these dumb threads where developers say coming soon and months and months later nothing!

I understand things take time, but how about starting the thread when the item is more near completion. Personally I don't care either way but cI an totally understand why people get pissed in this threads and I feel they have every right to.
[Android Software Development] DJ Carpenter:
Then don't post I guess? People will be A LOT more pissed off if they set a release date and then weren't able to make it than they are now. So, having a rule like that would never be a good idea considering something can always postpone a release. Not to mention he said that they're all in college. Meaning there are other things they need to worry about other than updates. And how many things are presented at "near completion"? Phones, movies, cars, just about everything that is released, is presented way before the actual day of release or before any real progress has been made.
[Android Software Development] TheKoomba2010:
more like ditch us

:D
[Android Software Development] FireZenk:
Any update? :(
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
Vaporware? :(
[Android Software Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Unfinishedware
[Android Software Development] sykomaniac:
Unfinished vapoware
[Android Software Development] fatapia:
it's beginning to remind me of Duke Nukem Forever.. maybe in 10 years itll be released (;
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
is this a rom or a launcher?

cause if it is a rom, it better be a good one :p, although i wouldn't even want to flash it over cm7 unless i could dual boot :D, even though i only have a wildfire, but if i didn't, still.

this is unfinished vaporware for sure ;)
[Android Software Development] Kalavere:
It tells you in the first three words... :rolleyes:

[Android Software Development] urfavoritemazn:
so many ui projects that will never see the light of day....
[Android Software Development] bubbate:
this looks nice, hmm i guess no release date
[Android Software Development] Darkdeity9194:
well this is most certainly a project that has died. The staff should take the post down, so people don't get sad to know it'll never be made.
[Android Software Development] goodboynyc:
where does it say this is a dead project? 12 days after after a long awaited update and its considered dead?
[Android Software Development] AsgardCurse:
may be the thing that the devs never post anything here.
[Android Software Development] kanttii:
Wow, people. A moment of silence and you consider all this magnificence dead?!

Let the devs do their magic, have some patience and then donate for a good cause, for example to mycharity: water
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
They posted one month ago and said that they had things to test so something have been done!

And please people, stop spamming "this is dead" comments, it only makes the tread crowded with junk... Yes, the devs should have posted some info because they promised last month but probably they having problems or something and will post something really good when the times right! :) so please give him a break! all the devs is probably students so things take time because as you know, students doesnt have so much time :)
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
I would like to see a mod lock this thread. Send them a Pm if they do not respond to that in a few days, lock it and let them know via PM and in the thread that if they are still working on it to let someone know so it can be unlocked. I am not sure what site policy is but they have gone a while without a peep and I am tired of coming back top this thread only to see complaining.
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
I totally agree!
[Android Software Development] MrPadie:
Well, seeing as the rest of the team haven't responded here yet, I'll start by saying that I am no longer on the team as a coder. I have unfortunately left the project due to time constraints and other projects at hand. However, I do believe that they are on the look out for a new coder (Please, no asking to be a coder for the project - spam is the last thing they need).

I cannot tell you whether the project will continue now or not, as I don't quite know myself. That said, I think it would be unfair to close this thread, in case they choose to continue work on it. Sorry I cannot be of more help, but thats all I know.

Keep well guys,

MrP.
[Android Software Development] elegos:
I always ask myself why projects like this aren't opensource. Yeah, you may say "they'll release the code when it's done!". When it's done?!??

Open source is meant to boost up development, not bug fixing (well, that too). IMHO there should be a git repo where to fork, discuss and merge code. Or will (if ever) Kite UI be licenced software? It is written no were it will be free, so it just may be a pandemic publicity. I hope not. But if not, why not opensourcing it?
[Android Software Development] :
Maybe because people like ownership of their intellectual property?

Nah, that' can't be it.
[Android Software Development] android.is.linux:
Looking GOOD!

This is the nicest UI I've seen.
[Android Software Development] Utao:
I want it!!!
[Android Software Development] nerval:
Really hope this will be a reality.. Looove how this looks.. Exactly what I've been looking for!
[Android Software Development] dswta:
IF they're looking for a coder, they should Ask a mod to put it up on the homepage of xda, advertising it for developers.

The guy with the 'timester' idea did the same, got a coder interested in development and soon after, got a finished product. they should do the same
[Android Software Development] Utao:
Have you beta version that we can test?
[Android Software Development] TrueYears:
Concept and idea looks nice
[Android Software Development] Jclintcox:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This concept has been going on forever, I'm sure most of us are tired of waiting just to see videos on the concept. Just release a beta version and let people test it out. Then hopefully we can get this thing moving a little quicker
[Android Software Development] devabhishek:
its been more than 6 months its just a concept.......

i dont think the kite is ever goin to fly

[Android Software Development] Vakman:
The concept shots look fantastic and looks very simple, reminds me of the look of the HTC 1 concept shots. I would love to test this, I am not a coder in the least, maybe some day I will learn but for now I would be very much interested in testing this.
[Android Software Development] FireZenk:
You have already started the project? I refer to program it...
[Android Software Development] guitargler:
@FireZenk I don't believe any actual coding has been done yet, I think right now it's a matter of getting some images to work with and actually getting some more coders *cough*MDPI*cough*
[Android Software Development] :
I contacted the op, and he said that no coding was done as of yet. I also heard that it was hdpi first.

And btw i am the chef in charge of porting this kick ass ui.
[Android Software Development] lordi2k4:
I very very like this idea.....

pls pm me if you want someone for testing

<< registert only for this thread
[Android Software Development] alioooop:
One word, AWESOME!!!
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
The Project is only a concept so to speak. No actuall development or coding as started yet. I understand you want to be a part of the coding team so I'll add you to the Coder List. I'm going away for a week so there's going to be a little stand still. However when I'm back I'll contact you asap.

Just as jdkoreclipse said before we're going to start with hdpi. The reason for this is because I don't want to potentially slow down the developing process. We have 1 cooker and now 2 coders and I'd like to start with us focusing on high end devices.

However don't worry when we successfully release a hdpi version I'll do my best to make an mdpi version aswell.

[Android Software Development] elmerendeiro:
Hi, i like your project...I suggest to take a look at SLIDESCREEN app...it's an info-centric UI for Android...give it a try to get some ideas for your project, i really appreciate its ease, usability, every info is in homepage, you don't have to go into apps but are infos that come out of apps and go directly on your homescreen...sadly slidescreen has been abandoned, take the best from it!

[Android Software Development] h_zee13:

and like mentionned before...take a look at Slidescreen for inspiration (BTW slidescreen is still being worked on and so it's not abandonned)
[Android Software Development] earl26:
If you create and port to DROID/N1 I would love to be a tester. :)
[Android Software Development] tenfar:

[Android Software Development] Psionhacker:
This is a pretty fantastic find. I would never use another UI after seeing this one. I would love to be a tester.
[Android Software Development] viande:
This thing is SWEET.

Waiting for more updates, but definately an amazing work.
[Android Software Development] The_limit:
this looks amazing.

if you are bringing it to any phone, your best bet would be to start at the htc desire. its a lot more popular as the n1 (thus a bigger userbase for your UI), and is a teensie bit more powerful. the legend/hero aren't that powerful, the nexus one isn't that popular compared to the Desire, and the Galaxy/Evo4g are too expensive to have a big userbase.
[Android Software Development] HunteronX:
I think that your concept UI looks brilliant! I'd love to test it, if possible.
[Android Software Development] :
HTC Desire user up for testing aswel, if still needed :)
[Android Software Development] Kiflim:
It's very impressive !!

If you want, i can test ;)
[Android Software Development] maschm:
That looks really great, keep it up:)
[Android Software Development] kanttii:
That's very brilliant! I would like to be a tester too, if there's any room for yet one.

The screen indicators are nice, but I personally would like more of a round one indicating current screen and small arrows of the same style indicating others.

Great work, awesome idea!
