Hey everyone! Hope you guys are enjoying your prime.
I've been very interested in HUBS for the android tablets and I've searched many places and some youtube tutorials but none of them seem to work 100%. I'm hoping someone can post a step by step tutorial on transformer prime ICS on how to make hubs for everyone who wants hubs on their prime.
Thanks!
P.S. I've looked around on the forums and I've found a couple hubs thread but none helped.
I'm not really sure what you're talking about as the threads I've looked at for hubs and the YouTube videos I've seen have been very informative. I set up a hubs layout the other week that I love. A few more tweaks and I'll be posting on the homescreens thread.
Perhaps you should be more specific as to what you've been having trouble with.
There is a topic, I think it's on the first page, with a awesome tutorial with lots of screenshots for ideias on original Transformer ''Themes and apps''

Damn, that looks sick! Did you follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218260&highlight=hubs??
That's exactly the link I used to setup my hubs. Its pretty time consuming but its worth it in the end
That's exactly it! and mletchworth provided the link. Thanks so much guys!
Does it work on ICS?
Everything works except for widget scrolling. Launcher not compatible with ICS yet. Waiting patiently for an update

Holy crap this looks slick! And I thought spb had some nice eye candy. I'm def going to have to try this out. I wonder if there's a way to combine this layout with spb. You would lose the nice transition animations though which is a large part of the appeal.

Hey how did you get those app folders to pop up in the middle of the screen like that when you clicked those side icons?
One way to do it is to use folder organizer or app organizer, then use an invisible icon which you would place behind the widget. So when you touch the widget, you're really touching the icon underneath which brings up the apps. Hope that helps. Still trying to get mine all set up, very time consuming.

Does Folder/app organizer make the invisible icons or does that require another app?

And here is the link for the whole album. I think I use some rather nice wallpapers. http://imgur.com/a/bJ106#0
For my personal use, I set it up with two things in mind.
It has to be functional. I'm an organization freak and so the different hubs would have to legitimately be useful and not just for design. For example, when I'm doing schoolwork The only things I see on my screen are applications I let myself use (and I further enforce this by combining Pomordroido and Tasker to kill any apps not seen on that screen).
Work well with two handed use. While it's kind of a moot point a majority of the time because my tablet is in the dock, when I do use it undocked I want to be able to access everything quickly. You'll notice that all of my buttons are on the left and right hand side of the screens, and all are clickable with either thumb, never having to lift my hand.
Apps I use to achieve this are ADW EX Launcher, Minimalistic Text, and Pure Calendar Widget.
I'll post a video of it sometime later; it's pretty slick. Funnily enough, I was already using the exact same transitions the guy in the video posted above used, so you already know how that looks.

I don't know what it is about posting on here but my browser crashes each time I write something thorough. :|
Any who to be short and save myself from tossing this computer I've been talking with the Dev of Handcent [it's a sms/mms application] about making an experimental new build with a new UI.
I like using handcent because it shows the users photo next to there name and sub text underneath it from the last message sent.
And my idea for a new UI falls along the lines of the dev of Buka and Totem? And recently Radiant. At the home screen it has a gallery button and it has a sliding UI similar to the Ipod touch album chooser and HTC Hero's Album chooser as well.
What the Idea is it to make the contact photo like the album, and then place the users text underneath it.
I drew my own crude version of it below, [this is why I'm asking if you're good at photo shop, I clearly don't have the first hint on using it.] and I'll include the Ipod touch's UI
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And just for some talk back what do you guys thing about this idea?
I personally see it like this:
Slide to select the users photo, then when it's set and locked on the user text falls down in an animated way then piles up correctly like the threaded text does.
Then to view someone else you'd select the photo and here is where my idea splits.
I'm not too sure if I'd like the screen to rotate in a 3d square like motion or just slide like the album covers.
Of course I know there's plenty work to be had about this and it would take a lot of CPU and for good contact photos it would have to be a place in handcent to assign them and not based off of the Google image you have since that can only be blown up and that makes it blurry.
And of course I am not a dev at all!
So if you'd like to make this image I'd appreciate it :]
And mind you the proportions of portrait and landscape.
And so far here is the work of some friends and forum people that have helped me along with this idea.
From "Konzern" Over at Android Community dot com.
And our latest submitted images :]
By hettbeans
well you made me smile. lol but i think that would be a really nice ui. hope to see it up here on the forums sometime soon!

I think thats actually a pretty cool idea for a messaging UI. I'll try to draft something up as well but one thing I would like to point out in the development of this is to also have an option for list selection. While this is cool for one or two conversations, if you have to scroll through many it "could" be annoying depending on how smooth the sliding between photos goes. Awesome idea anyway. I cant wait to see it.
I'm lovin the drawing. You should just use that

Well now that I have more time to type.
In my orginal email to the dev I also throgh that in as well.
I thought about it like how Google maps has the list selection at the bottom left corner.
But overall I think we all could be productive here and help the dev with a guideline of how we see it and be supportive :]
Or maybe he'll read here and pick and choose.
i removed the app tab because i realized its not supposed to be there lol
Here is my mock-up. I chose to do it in like the hand-drawn example above, with chat-room style texts instead of bubbles.

I emailed handcent and they replied
"Hello,thanks for your suggestion,the new UI example is cool and something same as i think (but no implement ), i will let ui design view the thread first and add it to develop plan"
So don't run around expecting it, but it definitely could happen.
Am just pending on the OP of the image to give me some info so I can give him more credit.

all i have to say to that is... damn that looks amazing... i still thought the paper ui was a good one though, and that font man, that font.
but for real hettbeans, that is amazing and i would use whichever app implements that idea.
also to the ones designing this, you should pm or somehow alert rvg151 (the guy with the modded mms.apk) to this thread, and see if he can incorporate something like this into the standard mms.apk. that would be killer.

I've PMed it.
Well aside from getting that particular dev to do this, why not start an XDA project to see if any devs are interested in implementing that UI on a new sms app. It doesn't seem like the UI will see the light of day unless someone makes it happen. I gotta admit, its a shame since I do like the mockup UI created by hettbeans even though I'm not really a fan of iphone-esque design of coverflow.
SOON
As soon as yall release this new ui.. Cause handcent is really the best.. As soooooon as you do please email me..

Both of you guys, go download the Buka game demo and go to that gallery option and tell me if that can be implemented/was made for a messaging app you wouldn't want it lol.
I don't like the Iphone style either but when I saw it in that game and the color scheme I thought of Handcent and how awesome it would be.

I'm a big fan of UI uniformity. I think the proper thing to do would just be a row of side-scrolling thumbnils like what the Market used to have.

So I was motivated by a tweet from Anderweb (ADW developer). I watched this video and instantly set my phone up this way.
Anyone willing to make some cool wallpapers specific to our phones (ie, the name of ROMs or "Vibrant").
I posted a more generic thread here, but was hoping to focus more on ones for our phones here. In that thread though, I did link to everyone/give proper credit and give download links for the wallpaper and a transparent icon!

Thanks for sharing this it looks neat. Was gonna take a stab at a W7 type LP.setup, but this looks very cool.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
There are some new wallpapers being added in the other thread... I think I am going to take a stab at a Trigger one a little later.
Looks like I just found my next project. Been thinking about jumping into theming, but don't have the patience/time. This will be perfect.
There are some great examples of this buried on the main "post you homescreen" thread.

I have been using this concept on my phone for awhile, but I've never been a big fan of either LP or ADW (personally, I prefer Zeam). For my setup, I use Desktop VisualizeR for the transparent icons. If you are still having problems with FCs, give it a shot.

I've no talent with making wp, so I use various wp that I found on here. I tend to use minimalistic theming so I use the transparent Icons as a method of keeping my home screen clean while keeping it functional. What was shown in OP is far more sophisticated than anything I came up with on my own.

yesterday was my first day, so I certainly am no expert... but this is what I was doing to place icons and setting a shadow.....
open a new project, 800x960 I think?
ALT + Backspace makes it all Black
new layer, File > Place, choose icon, resize it, move it to where I want it and place it.
right click on the icon layer, duplicate, CTRL+T, right click, flip vertical.
Move it below the icon so it looks like a shadow and place it.
grab the eraser, change opacity to 30-40% and run over the bottom icon so it looks faded.
Once you do that, it looks like a shadow.... that is how I was doing it. I would love to learn how to just make a black shadow beneath the icon, because my next one is going to be glass shelves on a textured black background... with smaller/cleaner icons.
If I can get it back up and running, I've got some professional level 3D title/logo modeling and animation software (I used to work for the company), which would allow me to composite 3D icons drop them over whatever background I wanted. I'd be happy to share. I'll see what I can do about getting the software installed on my new computer this weekend.
All I'd need is .ai files of the icons with proper vector paths. I no longer have Illustrator.

Alright, so I did this mock-up to explain:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is my idea of a pretty neat launcher. Let me explain.
It's a giant launcher where everything is made up of "panels" which is essentially what a widget would be normally, except instead of small icons and widgets making up a grid, you would rather make up this entire tower of "panels" you can scroll through like so:
Once you reach the bottom (like so), you have the option of adding or entering edit mode in which you can change the placement of panels, configure panels, or add more. Also notice the stationary panels at the top and bottom. I figure the top would could be configurable to look however you like or replaced with another replacement panel made for staying at the top at all times. (i.e. you can't replace it with a Last.FM panel, you would have to go about finding a panel that is absolutely meant to be at the top.)
I figure this could also be a pretty accessible thing for everyone in terms of making new panels. Someone would release the base panel code, and then people can configure it to do some pretty neat things, I figure.
I dunno, this just seemed kind of cool in my opinion. I can think of all sorts of panels and stuff like that too - a Favorites/Folder panel, gallery panel, music panel... etc.
Also, I threw this mock-up together pretty fast. I figure the Facebook and Twitter panels would have more to it, heh.
So whatcha think?
EDIT: On a side note, what I was imagining isn't really widget status where you can interact with it so much - you click on it or the link or whatever corresponds with whatever (i.e. you click on a tweet) and it brings you to where you need in order to comment on it or like it through FB and what not.
Hey man, first off, u may want to request this moved to the Apps section. I see the dev side of it but ppl around here get very picky about what should go where. Second, cool idea, im not much one for these kinds of home screens but some ppl like them and the more kinds out there the better.
You may want to check out slide screen from larva labs. sounds very similar.
I believe this is what WP7 is trying to achieve but failing short of it....
Your concept is wonderful (not exactly original because of WP7), but I still like it. To do this you will need some mad skillz with Java and change up the framework and re-organize the notifications/alerts/alarm aspects of the it.
Also the facebook/twitter integration will need to know how to communicate with each respective API.
yeah, this is going in themes & apps.
In the other thread I mentioned that uh, I'm not a developer for anything, let alone Android. I just threw this mock-up out there just as an idea.

The only problem I see is that a lot of widgets would need to be reinvented to fit the new panel system. I don't want to do what the W7 Launcher did and just place the widget in the middle of a box 'cause that... That doesn't look good.
Here's some ideas for panels I pulled out of my brain:

Unless maybe there was a way to remove the background of the widget or force fonts onto widgets, but then again I know nothing regarding the difficulty of this so... Yeah.
But then again, there could be like master panels that have the ability to be set to whatever music program you want from there.
That would minimize the amount of panels that needs to be made. A friends panel = Twitter, Facebook, etc. A music panel (Like Phantom Music Widget) = a lot of music apps. And then maybe a widget panel where if you configure it you can have it attempt to remove the background of the widget so it looks somewhat right on the panel. I dunno.
I dunno man but you have everyone dying to have this made haha

So I was playing around with my phone and discovered a new feature, well new atleast to me. You can rearrange the bottom tabs in the apps with sense mods like music, clock and people etc. Just press and hold one of the tab icons and you will get into the rearranging mode.
For example, I hate how the default view when u get into the music app is the artists, I press and hold any icon like the artists icon in the bottom bar and now I can move the songs list to the beginning and have it as default.
Edit: Thank me if u like my new discovery!
New discovery - on the home screen, in order to trigger the preview mode where all 7 screens show up, you can press home button again or pinch the screen.... you can also just tap the home screen with two fingers and it gets triggered
That's pretty neat thanks!
That's cool but can you make it so clicking on the clock doesn't go to world clock? That's lame.

I didnt think most people knew about this... after 3 years of using 5 different android phones, 3 of them with sense, its still exciting to find new tricks like this. I can bet you I know my phone in and out way better than u do!
I have no idea why the xda forums have become like this lately but snarky comments from people like you is a great example of how things have turned to **** around here and this is why many helpful people and devs are leaving.
Wow, that is pretty neat.
It's this exact thing I'm talking about that will keep me far away from AOSP. HTC Sense has small things about it that make the user experience so far above other UIs.
Well I didn't know this either thanks for telling us or me this.

Get off your high horse. If it helps just one person, it was worth posting.

Works in gallery too and other Sense apps. Also, holding an icon and dragging it to the middle of the screen / out of bar hides it from view.

Homescreen Design Thread
I love to look at people's ideas when it comes to Android homescreens. Because Android is so completely customizable, you can do incredible things to make it look amazing! Here's and example of the kinds of things that should be in the thread...

}
So I know that there is a thread for homescreens already, but I wanted to make one that was for beautiful designs only. Just putting up a screenshot is alright, but giving it a body and background makes it even better. The idea is to get unique looking designs up to inspire others to design beautiful homescreens. In otherwords, this isn't for screenshots like this:
If you want a Psd template to get started, you can find one here - Htc Amaze Psd
Alright, here's one to start out:
Things Used:
* Wallpaper
* Icons
* Apex Launcher (10 x 5)
Really Simple and clean but I LOVE IT!
I dig your style. Thanks for your contribution to everything that you have done for the AMAZE.
Here's my current layout:
Another AMAZEing layout. All done with the Apex Launcher?
I assume also done with your Rom?
Gives me a lot of Inspiration/Ideas on what to do with my phone.

Thanks! Its Apex Launcher Pro to get the widget overlapping as well as the red notifications. The black and blue edges are actually UCCW Clock widgets. Its a great app to make stylish homescreens. I've found it a little taxing on the battery and system speed though to have that many widgets running.
O and yes, it is Fourth Bar Jellybean. I've tried Cm9 but I found it to unstable to use as a daily driver. Plus Fourth Bar works almost flawlessly as Aosp aside from the Signal bars missing.
Looks like someone's in engineering.
Awesome home screens btw!

No... Not really. I dislike math with a passion! Most likely computer science with a focus on UX design.

Thank you for starting this thread CRAIGTUT. I remember one like this in the G2 forum that grew to a couple hundred pages. Great ideas from some creative minds. I like what you did with yours. It gave me one or two ideas with mine. I'll get a couple screen shots up soon. :good:
dude you make the amaze beautiful.
That UCCW is a little hard for me to configure haha. I cant manage to make anything look right. :silly:

Visit the UCCW thread on XDA - You will be pleasantly surprised at all the work that has been shared there, it will give you more than enough time to figure UCCW out to make your own creations.
It's one of the top five threads on XDA as far as I am concerned
-Desktop Visualizer
-Tron icon pack and Icy cm9 icons for ADW EX
- Beautiful Widgets
Not too "unique" i guess because I still use the normal android grid style setup but I like ics blue and everything (almost) matches
Feedback welcome...
- HTC Amaze - Eclipze's Speed Rom 7.0 - Fauxy Edition
Here's Mine [UPCOMING ROM]

Ironically enough, just today I decided to take the time to redo my homescreen, and looking at others in the post your homescreen thread was just pages and pages of the same stuff. Not to offend anyone but the majority of what is there is just too busy and cheap looking, I wanted something different, so I finally ended with this.
