Also cant find it on the market searching for zune, zune home, home replacment nothing grrrrr id like to try this can someone just tell us where it is please ......
[Android Apps and Games] dlyon:
This is promising. It has one critical flaw however.

It does not in any way behave like MetroUI.

People do not want to have a phone with an interface that simply looks the part... it must also behave as expected.

Look at a phone with MetroUI on it, and reproduce it exactly as it is, not simply to look good in screenshots.

I've paid my dollar, and won't be seeking a refund, the developer has earned my small contribution... I won't be using this though until it's developed to a finished state. I hope the developer manages it, because it would be an excellent app.

I'd pay far more for it if it reproduced MetroUI properly.
[Android Apps and Games] zerodi:
Can someone post the .apk pleeeeeeeeeeease
[Android Apps and Games] zerodi:
This still isnt showing up on the Market for me lol

My feature request is allowing for a left or right swipe to get to a blank page for widgets. I'm not a widget whore like alot of android users, but I do miss having quick access to my Power Control bar.
[Android Apps and Games] xmaskx:
you could probably use quick desk beta from market
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
its coming. sorry ive been quiet, if you check his site, the new version is coming and looking good!

[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Zune Home or Faded Home is what I'm looking for for my Magic, a rather old phone that always knows glitches and slowndowns with other launchers, even the fastest ones. Unfortunately my only attempt with 1.4 was a poor experience, with immediate refund. Unfriendly, slower than other launchers, unstable...It was a huge dissapointment for me.

This is the thing : with an almost text-only launcher, I'm searching for one thing; SPEED, SPEED, SPEED. No widgets, no 7-desktops, etc. Just a quick access to all I need.

I'm sure the developer is doing a lot of efforts and I hope it will result in a better product.

Faded Home will become my only launcher if :

- It's fast enough (and I mean super fast)

- It allows more customization (it seems on the good tracks for that) but not only for the "paradigms" names and actions but also for the general look (font, size, animations, etc.).

- It shows Celsius Temperature.

Good work; you'd be my saviour...
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
crackedvenom2, time to edit the thread title to "Faded Home (ex-Zune Home)" no ? :p
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
indeed. also if anyone is still following, i posted the video of the new beta. it looks very exciting!
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
The new beta is looking awesome. Will the small notification bar show SMS, gmail, etc?

Please add the ability to backup settings as well so for everyone that switches roms and whatnot has an easy way to restore. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
update looks good can't wait for it to go out of beta
[Android Apps and Games] hackulous:
I want this very much
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Wow, nice preview. I see that you could now edit the title, not just assigning an app to a preset label. I do want to try this new version of Faded Home.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
From the comments he's saying it will be out by the end of the month. I can't wait

Nice.

I'm really looking forward to this :D
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
man i hope he updates it in the market. and i really wish hed let us use this as our regular launcher. its so much better than the zune launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] urfavoritemazn:
i thought you cant start threads about apps that cost money..?

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] leadfoot9281:
Wondering that myself.. Lol, all the apps that cost money I have seen here are free the XDA members

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Android Apps and Games] urfavoritemazn:
exactly!

MODERATORRRR?!?!?! hahahaha

i hate finding these cool apps and stuff then going to the market to find out they cost money -___-
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
its not even my app, im not getting anything from it besides trying to show more people. its .99 cents. its really not that much money.

also its 100 posts in and people are just now noticing it? haha. shows how many people read the rules (me included) [until now]

i guess it is against the rules, so if its deleted, so be it. i guess youll just have to follow the site. thats a shame because new users wont see it and be able to check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] leadfoot9281:
Well if it was free it wouldn't be a problem. There could be a free version then a pro version just like every other app. I think that was discussed in the beginning if the thread if I remember right. And you said the dev was a friend if yours so maybe talk to him.

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
i only know him from online, and since this has gotten so popular he gets too many emails a day now. he doesnt get back to me often. ill just let the thread takes it toll and if it gets deleted, at least a lot of people know about it. ill post the url in the op for people to see and save in case it does. i see why its a rule but i mean, im not spamming or anything, nor am i gaining anything from this. ah well.

New UI

Its the developer posted his latest video. Check it out, it seems a little more polished than before.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
we posted it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ratchet789:
bought faded/zune launcher this morning its running great love how this works keep up the work and this is well done no force closes at all
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
wow that video is looking great of the latest UI improvements... I can't wait to get this
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
This app needs way more publicity. I love the way it looks like its coming, i already bought it even though i dont use it now just to support.

Dev... let's see a new beta release!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] hackulous:
I personally think this should be a rom not an app but the dev probably just wants to make $$$ off it and the best way to do that is sell it without offering a lite version and make an app so its useable on all phones and don't get me wrong im not hating I paid for the app I just wish the beta was a rom instead it would be way cooler

Sent from my garden using rolling papers
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm sorry, but that's a pretty silly comment. It's not to do with money. It's a launcher, not a ROM... launchers are apps, same as LauncherPro. A ROM is a very different thing.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I agree completelly! rom cooking is so mush more advanced than a home replacement plus then you need one rom for each phone model and thats not that simple!
[Android Apps and Games] JakeCP:
+1

I'm sure it makes compatibility much easier too! I wish they had a free version, but .99 isn't that bad. I'm wondering if you purchase now will you get the new version 2.0 Faded Home???
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Yes. The upgrade is free if you already have zune home

Love this! Major fan of the zune simplicity. Maybe when you get round to it you could have a set page for widgets, or even your own widgets in the style of zune to make it look much nicer! :)

Great homescreen! one of the only I have paid for!
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Preview...new vid will be up on the dev website in a couple of days (says it's twitter).
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Hey, you stole my preview ! :D
[Android Apps and Games] narddog:
Can't wait for 2.0! This is looking sweet
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
WOW!!! I can't wait for this! Zunes home has slowly been growing on me. I already know I am going to like the new faded home. Now with the addition of the tiles, I'm going to fall head over heels in love with this home replacement!
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
haha yeah. hot linking twitter pics never works so i uploaded it somewhere else.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
@Eric_Murtaugh so are the tile pics for another screen? are you sticking to the zune homescreen and using those for something else?

@crackedvenom hoping someone would ask, ive implimented a way for the user to do text based or tile based pages, best of both worlds. and those customizations can be applied to any page, say like the main page is text but the folder view is tiles
[Android Apps and Games] azulay89:
This is diff then other Theme apps i saw and its so cool ^^ love to try it and maybe I will buy it this week

I just hope we'll be able to disable the custom nofication bar. It looks nice but clock is in am/pm format and it would be nice to be able to use android's native bar...:p

[Android Apps and Games] shoemeistah:
looks very cool! will it be a paid app?
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
it is it's .99¢
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
just curious what is the weather app using for location if all location services are off? and it's there going to be an option to just put in the zip for better accuracy?

Unfortunately Christmas day ;)
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Its weird, I purchased this app thinking I would be getting 1.5 but instead I received 1.4, and there is no update sign next to the app in the market. Has anyone else experienced that or does any one have any ideas how to get to zune home 1.5?
[Android Apps and Games] afripino:
It's Christmas! !!!!!!!!!!!

Really want to try this. About to hit the "buy" button right now.
[Android Apps and Games] narddog:
Are we going to get this update or what?! Let's go!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
I thought we were getting the upgrade for free. Why do I have to pay for it even though i bought zune home. >.>
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
I feel like I got screwed. The Dev said that faded home would be an update to zune home but then made it a separate app with a separate charge. Did I know this I wouldn't have wasted my money on zune home yesterday
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I think that someone elsetries to rip us off... why is the discription so shorts? Why is the developer id with big letters? And why isnt it a app icon?

And if this is right, then its also a rip off because he promised a free upgrade
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
Yall chill, check his twitter. We are still getting it for free if we bought zune. Just will be later tonight. Give the dev a break.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Its up. Everyone should read his tweets though.

Be sure to read this tweets though.

Eric_Murtaugh Eric Murtaugh

App Name: Faded Home Link: http://market.android.com/details?id=Faded.Home (400KB) ok so a little complicated look for next tweet to explain

Ok so I've been having a problem with droping faded home on top of zune so im making it a second app. however im making it .99 till new years, Then it will be 2.99 so everyone who owns or know about faded home can download it cheaper and if you have zune home installed you will Get special addons and surprises for faded home, and just so I don't disappoint im going to drop this (a)n(d) latest version of faded home On top of zune home so those that paid aren't feelin screwed but that might be later tonite, the biggest reason is so I can use my new account and also get comments and reviews that aren't biased towards zune home and are more accurate, thanks everyone
[Android Apps and Games] misticjeff:
What is his Twitter I.D.?

nevermind......... got it......
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
no. read what i just posted. he just updated his twitter.

also, i hate how many posts from the last couple months have been complaining about it being a paid app. its 99 cents. ive got that laying on my floor. i mean come on, really? support the devs that put effort into the apps. did you see his earlier tweet? he was up for 11 hours finishing it up because he promised a christmas release. thats dedication and shows he cares about what he said.
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
Eric_murtaugh
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
I kind of want to buy it, intead of waiting for him to drop it over Zune home. But he said there would be "special" add-ons
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
for real people, quit being so greedy and show some support, if you don't have .99 laying around go to walmart parking lot pick up some coins and support the dev

edit; maybe making zune home(soon to be faded aswell) a free version with some disabled features and make the other like a full version just a thought
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Can anybody that installed Faded Home, say how it is and everything? Is it what you expected
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Its def nice and i cant wait for future updates. He said he will be updating it more soon as he just polished the ui and some speed tweaks to get it out for christmas like he promised he would. Also, anyone who tries it may think its lagging, Scrolling down the middle doesnt work the greatest, it may seem like its lagging but its not. just move your finger more to the right, im not sure why its doing this. I told him about this. Its not a big deal but like i said. I also thought it was lagging but its not.

video to show you what i mean,,

http://www.twitvid.com/A9KFF
[Android Apps and Games] stothy862:
It... isn't I have to say! Many redundant buttons. Super glitchy and features seem to have been removed :S
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
i accidentally thanked you when i went to hit quote haha. He said the features will be added on new years.

"look for an update by new years to add folders, renaming links, and more I just ran out of time polishing the ui and flow."

he wanted it out by christmas as he promised so some things arent there. im sure had he not released it, there would be complaining too, so really a no win situation here.

also, it IS christmas. let the man have some family time and look for an update soon :)

AND AGAIN, if you think its lagging when youre trying to scroll, move your finger more to the right. seems to be a problem scrolling down the middle.
[Android Apps and Games] stothy862:
I understand that but it would be wrong to pretend everything's fine!

Can anyone else pull down their notification tab at the top? mine wont come down and if its not suppose to then ill give this a miss
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
the scrolling thing you have to be off to the right, not a big deal I just don't like how it stops if your finger isn't down I like to be able to flick it with my thumb and watch it go haha. I'm still excited about this release just reported problems as normal not trying to complain rudely by any means :) I saw in the video what there is and can't wait for it bought for total support. also the extra feature thing I don't really want alot of launchers installed I have them both bought but if I uninstall zune will I lose these features when added later?
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Well even with all the problems it is the first version, so it's understandable
[Streak 5 General] uberamd:
I have noticed that when I press/tap on the lower left and right corners (in portrait, in landscape its the top right and bottom right corners) I get the typical LCD 'ripple' effect (as if I am pressing on a typical LCD monitor). Is this normal? No other Android phone I own does this as the glass on the device separates the LCD enough from where people touch. Normal?

Second, I notice that when dragging things (again, picture this in portrait mode) from top to bottom, about 60% of the way down the screen its like it stops reading my finger and the widget, icon, etc drops there and stops following my finger. I need to apply decent pressure to get it to keep tracking my finger. Normal?

I am using the AT&T streak with the 2.1 ROM.
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
both normal.

the screen ripple is because the lcd screen is actually bonded to the protective glass
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
The last point is not normal, I don't have to press hard to keep a drag going.
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Yeah I've never experienced the 2nd but definitely the ripple I sorta expected.
[Streak 5 General] matt_lincoln:
Maybe its a design tweak to stop the screen from breaking so easily? My first streak never rippled but then one day i turned it on and found my screen had broken. After a three week long battle with 02 i got a new model and lo and behold ripple whenever i press near the edge of the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] The.Opethian:
Hello everyone! Just wanted to share this with the people here. Bought an Orange mesh case on ebay via London Magic Store and have been very happy with it. It's so nice that I am considering buying the white and possibly the blue one as well.

It doesn't provide as much protection as the gel cases, but it makes the device easier on the eye. It simply looks sleek.

Now on to the photos:

I hope you found this post useful. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
this orange one looks great!

i'll wait until my red one dies, if ever... LOL :D

have anyone wondered.... Why the hell the cases does not cover the bottom of the phone??????, we just need a pin size hole for the mic

all these slick great looking hybrid (soft/hard) cases are like that... why?

not like we have any connectors there
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Silverdragondk:
I thought the mesh cases were the ones with holes in them? Usually, on Ebay, these are just referred to as "rubberized hard back case" or something like that.

Maybe you'll like these kinds of cases:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hard-Rubber-C...2?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches

Ive ordered 2(different colours) myself.

regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
I'll wait for my white to die off too.. LOL.

But somehow, I prefer the real mesh design (the ones with holes all over) but they don't come in orange.

As for the bottom opening, it's most probably to retain the flexibility of the case, so U can snap in and out easily. Mine came with a hairline crack at the bottom.. but it's a minor thing.. so Im not bothered.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
maybe that's the reason

otherwise i can't understand why the soft gel / rubber ones are fully wrapped, but the nice stylish ones are butt naked :p

i already have a full gel one, it's great for protection, but sometimes it gets a bit on the edge, when the finger is too close to the end of the screen.

so i prefer the stylish models like the orange one, makes using the phone easier, the finger doesn;t get caught in the way of the gel/rubber cases when sliding close to the edge of the screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] steffe.jst:
Naiveness ;> It's to save money, simple as that. Making a case which covers the top and bottom requires more precision work in order for it to snap in/out easily enough and beside that it also require more material and design work.

Back to topic though, you tricked my expectations :( Not nice playing with people's mind like that, saying it's a mesh case review when it's not. Anyhow, t'is a nice case, I should be getting the black version within a day or two.

As far as protection goes... Not really expecting much, if any at all. Pretty sure I'll end up buying a case mate tough case or something similar for the scenarios when I know I'll be more likely to drop things. Too bad they're pretty expensive, in comparsion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
but the mesh case and this case is identical

just different colours

the mesh has holes, this one is solid
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] steffe.jst:
That's like saying a fish net is the same thing as a hairnet. I'm not reaaally complaining, just nit-picking on the title.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
But can U confirm the quality and finishing is identical?

Coz if I'm not wrong, the mesh cases are official Samsung accessory, made by Anycall. There's a shop here (set up by some China nationals) that sell cheap cases and they happened to have something similar to the one shown here, with various colours... They're S$15 and look cheap. Not sure if they are the same.

Do note the price varies alot.. U$11++ for the mesh ones and U$3++ for this with free shipping..
