Absolutely amazing :)

well done guys!!!

Will this UI be available for unlocked htc desire? I see that all the hustle is for google android phones only :(
[Android Software Development] tomyboombotz:

[Android Software Development] ballubas:
i can beta test gladly:-)
[Android Software Development] BodingisanAndroid:
Beta Tester here!

Hey I'm sure you've gotten plenty of this but if you need beta testers I'll be more than glad to help. Keep up the good work!

HTC Incredible running...

MIUI 0.11.26.1

CyanogenMod 6.0.1 (backups)
[Android Software Development] mskks64:
YES!!! I love this!
[Android Software Development] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Wow! This looks amazing, I'm looking forward to any beta testing or alpha testing that will be available :)
[Android Software Development] nevsdad:
I like it!!!!!!
[Android Software Development] urfavoritemazn:
this is amazing.

I WANT MORE
[Android Software Development] AsgardCurse:
As everyone else.. I really wanna help Beta Test this.

When it comes to coding, I haven't coded on Android yet and got no skills there, only the old c++ stuck in my head.

When it comes to beta testing, I know how to find and proper report errors and problems, skills aquired through various Mandrake, Gentoo and Sabayon Linux projects plus some DC++ hacks.
[Android Software Development] champkongen:
Id like to try it out on the DesireHD. Looks very promising.

Beta Testing

This looks amazing, I'm looking forward to any beta testing that will be available.
[Android Software Development] mynicksucks:
Like many others I really like how this UI looks! I´d feel very lucky when it comes to beta testing and I could attend. Unfortunately I´ve got no coding skills.
[Android Software Development] 1ceb0x:
Beta testing is not about coding skills. It's about patience and eye for bugs. You put the program/software on your phone, and you start playing with it. Lag? You report it. Bugs? You report it. Missing text, missing graphics textures? You report it.

I work for a big company producer of games like a tester, so i know all about testing.
[Android Software Development] KeeperOfThePizza:
I got a Tmobile G2, willing to test.
[Android Software Development] enzynd:
My N1 are really to be your tester (please ^_^)
[Android Software Development] NsRayder:
I got a Samsung galaxy S and HTC Desire HD free, willing to test too.
[Android Software Development] neoboyx:
Hey bro. its cool, beauty, increible

My SE X10 and me are really to be your tester's :D

my x10 with android 2.1
[Android Software Development] vainkdgurl:
Would love to test if my device is compatible.

Nexus One running 2.2.1
[Android Software Development] haroujf:
looks uber cool. hope desire will be get :)
[Android Software Development] brickopick:
Willing to test

Hi, I have a MyTouch 3g Slide, I'd love to test this when it comes to beta :)

http://pocketnow.com/android/kiteui-for-android-demod-after-tat-acquired-by-rim

do we need to be concerned about that?
[Android Software Development] MacaronyMax:
Just wondering, how long untill you think the project will be released? Six Months? A Year? :D :p Thanks and just wondering roughly ;)
[Android Software Development] timothyhong:
I like this concept so much. it's so simple, clear and nice. looking forward to its beta release.
[Android Software Development] :
I jabe a driod incredible
[Android Software Development] ker0ltjuh:
no updates and comments here??:S why not? its a super idea! plz comment people if you like this project ;)
[Android Software Development] Beackman:
Man i have a Motorola DEXT MB200, runnig android 2.1 without BLUR, stock android system and interface, if i can help you testing. i can send you daily feedbacks.
[Android Software Development] :
Can we get an update on this
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
As I said in a previous post, which I also added to the original thread post, have some patience. I quit my job on friday (thats 2 days) and untill then I'm not going to be able to focus on this 100%.

I also said that those of you in the list, who are added at the bottom of the original post will be notified. I imagine this will happen the following week.

Untill then keep sharing your thought's while I upload some more concept art (See original thread post).
[Android Software Development] guitargler:
The new screenshots are nice, I'm digging that music player. And sh*t's gonna be flying on and off the screen? Woot haha. This is exciting, I can't wait to be a part of this.
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
Haha, that is the concept, yes. But then again the dreams of a designer is often shot down by the limitations of a developer and the hardware. Anyway, when this project really takes off we'll see how it goes...
[Android Software Development] ker0ltjuh:
nice update ;)
[Android Software Development] :
wow this looks great! i cant wait to cook it into a rom!
[Android Software Development] guitargler:
Probably when development gets under way, there'll need to be two sub-branches; one for the newer devices like the N1 and other phones with fast processors. These would get the fullest kiteUI experience. Then people like me with older devices would have something like a kiteUI Lite without crazy animations but the same design, just optimized to run on slower processors (and hopefully without a painful OC).
[Android Software Development] :
i have a droid incredible, so i guess i would be in charge of the newer/hdpi port, but i could be able to help with the older ports. i look forward to being a part of the kiteUI team and getting the full kiteui experience!
[Android Software Development] guitargler:
Hmm, looks like we'll need at least one more cooker and another coder. Probably more though, to actually have development teams instead of development one-persons. @LiquidIce, you should post something about this in the Dream or Magic forum, maybe Hero too. Some devs will probably join on. For the hdpi team, you should try the Nexus forum and perhaps Evo?
[Android Software Development] :
i could probably handle most of the hdpi cooking, but mdpi is a problem for me, although I can help with the mdpi port as much as possible
[Android Software Development] tbrummell:
When the time comes I'd love to try a Magic/Sapphire version. Will keep an eye on this thread.
[Android Software Development] kakuta:
this looks really good !

and err it does looks something similiar to this by some other guy or maybe you're that guy but iunno,

designfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/07/htc-1.html

it would be nice to have this ui,really sleek instead of just seeing pictures of it ;)
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
Your totally right. Not about me being that guy but about it being similiar. I liked how he did the home, web and social 'pages' very simplistic. However I didn't like the actual designs of his UI, other than that flickr pic. The hardware concept, however, was in my opinion fantastic.

It's not my intent to steal someone elses designs, not at all. It's rather a situation where I had my initial idea, observed someone elses similiar concept, saw the flaws and posibilities and then did my own thing with some inspiration.

My clock design was inspired by this Nooka

What set's aside my concept from the one you brought up is that I try to keep everything as simple as possible and that should be visible troughout the whole kiteUI. One example being the current page and the app launcher.

-You don't need to know that you are on the social page when your on it. Such an obvious indication would only take up screen real estate. And as I stated in the beginning one of my intentions is to keep that beautiful sky visible at all times.

- The app launcher icon is also a 'stupid' feature on both stock android (previous to 2.2) and senseUI. As an Android user you know that the app launcer is at the bottom of the screen.

So me bringing the app launcher and the current page to a minimum yet easy to understand feature is what this is pretty much all about - Simplicity, both in design and in usage.

[Android Software Development] kakuta:
awesome,i just want someone to make it become reality,

good luck ,hope to see it soon ;)
[Android Software Development] DaveHTC200:
This looks awesome!

Keep up the great work :)
[Android Software Development] dan.expo:
I'll help test on the Xperia X10a :D

Ps. Looks killer so far, but any ideas on what your gonna do for button variances? (For highlighted / being pressed) Maybe coloring the buttons or shadowing / pop out, would look sweet. Just my thoughts
[Android Software Development] Liquidice:
I'm going for a light blue gradient which I haven't shown yet. Will put it up very soon... :)
[Android Software Development] taffypride:
I'd love to test on my Vodafone 845
[Android Software Development] jwilson77:
Me and my Droid X running 2.2 would be honored to test.
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
Hey guys, they are no longer looking for beta testers. Quit asking.
[Android Software Development] jwilson77:
Ok, just caught this thread today, hadn't read all of the previous posts.
[Android Software Development] jwilson77:
Also, where did you hear they are no longer accepting beta testers? I just looked back through the posts a couple days and saw a post from you asking to be included just two days ago.
[Android Software Development] JK994:
I can test it on my 2.2 iPhone 3G

And if it can help, i'm a graphic designer specialized in software interfaces and motion graphics.

Available 24/7 until January :)
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
Apparently that was a memory error, because I can't find it. My mistake, and please, everyone ignore me.
[Android Software Development] arinoki:
also want to test this on my HTC Desire with Desire HD ROM. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] akira.pwr:
My Liquid A1 is waiting for it too, my Nexus and my next Desire Z :D
[Android Software Development] cajl:
i would like to testing on the Arhos 4.3 - 7.0 and 10.1 !:rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] sqb68:
HTC desire???

Will the htc desire be compatible with this UI.

Looks amazing!
[Android Software Development] jwilson77:
That's cool man.
[Android Software Development] moo99:
Anyone know how to get that background image of the clouds/blue sky? I really love it.
[Android Software Development] alex_mobile:
love it

looking forward to see it! Brilliant ideas! Nice design!
[Android Software Development] Fay57130:
Will the galaxy spica be compatible whit this UI?
[Android Software Development] simonthor:
Nope. Its screen resolution is to small. (480X320)
[Android Software Development] abov3dis:
cdma hero tester.
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Come on people read the previous posts. I'm sure they filled the beta spots 50 pages ago.
[Android Software Development] binglut9:
people are so dumb all these pages are filled with "Man my G1 n20389 would love this" or "Would I love a peice of that pie" Stop replying with that BS no one cares what phone you got and you won't become a tester just making this thread long for no damn reason.
[Android Software Development] Stalte:
Seriously, the devs post every once in a while and I miss it because of thousands of people asking to test. 90 percent of these people don't have devices with the correct resolution. They would know this if they read the one or two posts by the developer hidden among all of this junk.
[Android Software Development] BodingisanAndroid:
Crap on everyone's parade please.
[Android Software Development] m4kz:
This looks really nice

I have been looking for a while now for a nice android UI and this just what I looked for, Is there some place to checkout the code? to start helping with this making patches and fixes, and maybe become part of the team. btw, I am an experienced developer.
[Android Software Development] MrPadie:
@m4kz - please contact the OP of this thread (details can be found in first post) and he will guide you in becoming a part of the team. No spots are guaranteed, but have a chat to him, and he'll let you know if we can use you.

@Everyone - let's keep the BETA testing requests to a minimum please. This thread is intended to discuss ideas and requests amongst yourselves and the dev team. Quite honestly though, we do not check this thread all too often, because it's become extremely bloated with irrelevant posts. I'd like to reiterate to everyone:

READ THE FIRST POST BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION

.

In terms of progress, we have had a few team issues, but they are being resolved as we speak, and development will continue straight there after. In time, when we have an initial release ready, we will request a handful of users to sign up on our personal forums to be BETA testers, which will hence give you access to our BETA tester forums. This will give you direct access to the developers and resources needed to test our program.

I hope I've made my point clear regarding the BETA testing requests. Please, once again, read the first post, and wait for us to come to you for BETA testing - you will all be notified in due time.

Regards,

MrP.

(KiteUI Coding team leader)

EDIT:

My apologies, I see in the first post that there is something about posting BETA testing requests here. That is in an old update, and I will have it removed to reduce confusion. Please adhere to what I've said above. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] 903idcop:
Wow... I really like the idea and concept! Although I ain't programmer at all, but is there is anything I could assist with, let me know! It would be my pleasure to be participated in it! Keep on!!!
[Android Software Development] :
Sorry, I've been away for a while.
[Android Software Development] bunnybash:
just thought i would encourage this whole team, the whole thing looks hot... really hot...

would love to help but am too dumb to code :(
[Android Software Development] MacaronyMax:
Wait.... Could Gingerbread mean this needs to be recoded?? :eek:

:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Android Software Development] SaSa1983:
Gingerbread should be able to run froyo apps. If this is going to be a rom which makes use of kernel modules p.e. it might be a little tricky since the header files for the kernel modules might change. If kiteui is developed using android sdk or better ndk only, there should not be a problem. I would love to see this on my milestone though.
[Android Software Development] :
Nope, at least not from scratch. The changes on gingerbread appear to be heavy related "behind the scenes".
[Android Software Development] earl26:
Suggestion

So I love the corners and I am under the understanding that you will do white and black or just white, or something...

But I think if you do another design, maybe you could use the simplistic design of Gingerbread for it. It would especially blend if you didn't plan on creating entirely/theming stock applications.
[Android Software Development] stephenbarkan:
wow can't wait this looks great
[Android Software Development] arr1975:
idea

very nice concept ...

I would be happy to install this system in my X10.

what I want to be extra, is how to accept or reject incoming calls, especially as Android 1.6 was very hard. I'm not very happy either for Android 2.1 ... weather widget, and may be able to set as wallpaper live ... hm?

GOOD LUCK!!!
[Android Software Development] arr1975:
tester

Latest update first:

*Updated* 2010-10-20 - Development goes on....

First of all I would like to clarify some things about this project.

Kite UI is not a theme, it is a completely new and unique User Interface. It will be available for Devices with the resolution 480x800 (and up) running Android 2.1 (and up).

We are really appreciative to all the interest that has been shown. However, with all due respect I must say that finding PMs like "can i plz test it" in my inbox is rather annoying.

If you have some serious skills that could be useful in development, feel free to PM me. But, as far as your interest in being a tester goes, I would appreciate it if you could post that in the thread.

.....................................

oh ... i forget - i would like to become oneof the Xperia X10 user TESTER ...

thank a lot,

arthur
[Android Software Development] munwaioblivious:

[Android Software Development] absoluthamm:
I'd be happy to be a tester for the MT4G. I have a lot of experience with alpha and beta testing with PC and Linux programs, so you'll be sure to have the UI run hard and well documented on my end. Looks beautiful from the start, good work on the teaser.
[Android Software Development] cue_32:
Cant wait to try this on my Dell Streak... Good work
[Android Software Development] androidyo:
good job.like it very much

pretty good ~!!!

[Android Software Development] dryvali:
This UI looks awesome and can't wait to try it on my Epic. I just hope they don't go the way of TAT
[Android Software Development] kxs783kms:
This seems like it might be something worth keeping an eye on. Can't wait for the release. Good luck!
[Android Software Development] cigaret:
Hello,

Can't wait for final release, keep going!
[Android Software Development] die-hard:

I read the description and I love the simple design, unlike the other launcher.

Others are too complicated, too many settings.

Looking forward to seeing your release!

X10i TESTER

I am a sony ericsson Xperia X10i user from India..

i have basic knowledge about developing my own customized ROm and some UI customizations..

am now spending my time on the Bootloader..

and on seeing this thread about this UI, it looks awesome and worth givin a try too.. so i hope you guys can chose me to be a wise tester of the Kite UI. thanks in advance..:)

[Android Software Development] khanam:
I have been following both the kite and slick UI threads for a while but its not clear if either will be ready any time soon. It would be nice if any of the testers/devs could post an update for us curious onlookers.

Also, I might suggest an MIUI dev type of an approach to making these happen. Blogs, community involvement, porting and testing compatibility on multiple devices etc can only help. I am being blunt in saying that its up to you OP but MIUI is spectacular and it did not happen by just a few people banding together. As they say, it takes a village to bring up a boy...
[Android Software Development] punshkin:
Has this project been discontinued? :(

No news for ages

[Android Software Development] jeebuz:
Way to advertise in a different thread... lol
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
I am not really sure what to think of this. I have a negative reaction when I see the developer of a competing project come in and plainly state his is better when there is essentially nothing to judge "better" by than opinion on style. Not to mention the fact that it really feels like a cheap ploy to make sure others are seeing your thread.

That being said, I had missed your work up to this point and have now subscribed to your thread. I believe that I have given you positive reinforcement for an act that I view negatively, so I feel the need to say, please handle this differently next time. I don't want my values tripping me up as I navigate the many projects that are taking place in this great community.
[Android Software Development] :
I don't know, I would they say they're head to head in the phantom revolution.
[Android Software Development] gbmitchell:
You may be right but at least one has a video and screenshots...
[Android Software Development] DanWalker:
very nice, I definitely want to run this on my Evo. Hope they are still working on it.
[Android Software Development] fixxxer2008:
just heard of this UI and i must say it looks great. i cannot wait to get it for my evo. this is what metro should of been on wp7.
