Guest TripNRaVeR Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have an question for the designers, builders, dev'rs, modders out there. I was thinking of rebuilding my MIUI rom totally. So redifining the whole OS including UI interface etc, basicly what MIUI has done with CM is what I like to do with MIUI. Is it possible to do something like that? (totally change UI) I mean in a big way, so new design of the menu's etc. TripNFeatures like CM settings and more. That way it will look and feel as a totally new OS for Android. Its just an idea what i would like to discuss here with some reasonable people now there are no rom bashers here. I think if WE can pull this off we would have an revolution in "Android world" - Is there anybody good in design / graphics / layout? i would like someone to create a preview, just an image no real building, just an image of his/here idea of what this OS could look like Also i would like some input from anyone here, no bullshit about credits, just some "freeweeling" talk about this subject, we will see where it ends Please input to make this topic on the go!

Guest a1exander Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 That would actually be really cool. I can try just creating something in photoshop, I have some ideas. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neel007 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) One idea... [m not a dev btw] We can put multitasking feature like what VISUAL TASK SWITCHER provides.... It can be initiated by long press back key like they did in upcoming Windows 7 Mango... where we can close any running application or switch... may be we can add some close,force close features with some good UI.... I hope it will be possible... Edited May 30, 2011 by Neel007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brainz Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 THIS IS A SUPERB IDEA..... I would love if some designers here could come up with some UI concept themes to help get trip started on some base.... very nice idea bro... :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest piero79 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 hello Trip ... you have always good ideas .... I'd love to see a mix of these three interfaces ..... What do you think? 1. TAT HOME - # t = 50 2. KITE UI - # t = 44 3. HEARD UI - http://vimeo.com/18979345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we could come quite far, then just change layout settings in the app. Thats how i think it needs to be done at first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest by bug Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 But I still like TripNMiUI 0.3.0 "Iris" Gingerbread Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Realorasz Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 This seems like a really good idea. I'd love to help, too, but I'm not good for much. The best I've done is modify some of the ARC theme into a theme that I made(RealBlueOrange) One idea I had was that maybe in settings menus you could try at something similar to how the iPhone goes from page to page in lists and sub-lists. Another is that checkboxes could be like a square that when checked has some kind of mechanism come out from behind the page and plug into the square. IT could come from off screen too. Under here I'll randomly edit my post as i come up with possibilities that I think would be pretty neat. Of course everyone likes the GB screen off/on animation- but what about changing it up a bit? Make it look like a hologram from some sci fi show or take SE's animation for pop up windows and use that kind of thing. That one would be the simultaneous fade/shrink. One feature I like about standard Android(CM too, anything not Miui or <eclair) is 'sliding' notifications out of the pulldown to mark them read one at a time. I'm absolutely sure you'll be working towards your true-color in it, so no need to mention that.. On the usb mount screen, perhaps, when mounting, have the phone's picture when not mounted, and an sd card symbol when mounted. This would preferably have a fade animation.

Guest MrAndroid Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 NICE idea Trip, you are the best I am willing to help too. i have some Photoshop and illustrator skills, but at the moment i am very busy, so I cant create a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Reintjee Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Great Idea! I'm waiting for a CM 7 rom with all the hacks and tweaks forum TripNMiUI since the first release of CM 7. I love CM 7 GB and everything (theme choosing, CM settings), so I realy hope you could make such a thing! Edited May 30, 2011 by Reintjee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrAndroid Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Only a little Idea, it could be a logo or splash, but I would like something in this direction. Comments welcome! Edited May 30, 2011 by MrAndroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sam_thekiller Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Idea is just a mixup of some Famous concepts and ui Lockscreen Sense 3.0 type lockscreen 4 or 5 selective widgets for lockscreen and sense like app selectivity UI Bascilally I want to prefare Santio UI {Just Beacause Of Its apps Ideas like Music app or Contacts} If we talk about launcher then Simple Super Fast Launcher Flaxibilty Of Some Nyce Widgets Like TATHome Multitask switcher like Playbook or we can say Hp web Os type {I think HP web os type is better cause we don't have to make it too heavy] Extra And My Favorite Thing Weather Animation Like HTC HD2 Windows Mobile sense I know ma english Too Bad But I think You Can Understand this Cheers SAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lauri455 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) My idea for lockscreen: Wheel interface! Deal is: • Move the padlock out of the wheel to unlock, • Rotate any icon 90° around the wheel (Phone, Messaging, Sound, Airplane mode) to activate it (phone = go to missed calls/phone book; messaging = read new messages; airplane mode = toggle on/off; sound = toggle sound/vibrate only/silent), • Double tap the locker to enable music widget (no graphics, I'm too lazy etc.), • Tap date to launch Calendar, • Tap time to launch Alarms, • There also could be battery percentage indicator, or something (again, too lazy) • Whole wheel would be modifiable, ie. replace airplane mode with 'data over cellular network' toggle That's it from me, hope you like it :D Edited May 30, 2011 by Lauri455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neel007 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) My idea for lockscreen • Tap date to launch Calendar, • Tap time to launch Alarms, That's it from me, hope you like it :D Good idea, :D but as it is a lockscreen • Tap date to launch Calendar, • Tap time to launch Alarms, will open it accidentally sometimes....Instead we can move padlock to calendar or alarm Edited May 30, 2011 by Neel007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kr3g3r Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 im ALL FOR THIS idea!!! i would love to help in any way.......even if its just a little input, but would definitely LOVE to be a part of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogwoofer Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm all for multi-app launching lockscreens, but for me at least tap-to-anything is a big no no. As much as i love it, the MIUI lockscreen is a nightmare in my pocket - music starts playing, incomprehensible text messages sent to contacts, the emergency services being called :D - and thats with a slider, i dread to think what would happen with a tap interface! I think the best thing for a lockscreen are visual prompted gestures that make it highly unlikely for the phone to be unlocked in your pocket :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can work with Trip on the visuals on this, it will be one hell of a great looking ROM. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like in the original Roms) Yes, but that means it takes 3-4 seconds more to unlock your screen, which becomes a pain in the bottom very quickly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Realorasz Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I had another idea. The lockscreen could have the old radial dial phone kinda feel to it. i.e. full circle was for unlock, half for phone, 3/4 for sms, etc. IF i can get my PS skills going I'll make a visual.
