Anyone need graphic design/layout help? - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Here's the deal–I'm a graphic designer who found myself sans job, and have been looking to do some different kind of work to keep from going insane. I have thought about trying to prog my own apps, but java is still a bit over my head. So if there are any devs that could use some design work for apps, wallpapers, or whatever, PM me and we'll go from there. Right now, im thinking this service would be free of charge...
If you really want to, you can even check out my past work here.

I agree with pushing the Android standard forward. Some of the best apps out there look like total trash.

Preach on brother. AND it really pisses me off that having a grid of rounded rectangle icons with reflections is seen as the pinnacle of mobile design today.

Suggestion: make mock-up's of some popular apps with better layout and post them. You may get some attention and create a buzz.

AH! Thats a superb idea. I have a couple in mind, but does anyone have any requests they want to see in particular?

This depends on how far you are looking to go. Just icons, full UX?
Perhaps a mockup of a file browser (root explorer for example) would be a good start. They are all quite rudimentary in layout/design but most function well.
Again, this depends on what aspect of design you are talking about.

Ah nice.
I would definitely overhaul a client app that has a TON of downloads in the market. Most devs have zero understanding about layout, nor do they care. File browers/explorers, chat clients, irc clients, etc are all big time offenders.
Just look at the top downloaded free apps and go for one that you actually use. By selecting one you use, the flow through the app is something you are familiar with and fixing/redoing the experience becomes personal and understood.
That's how I would go about it anyways

This is a key part, IMO. Great advice from deprecate.
Also, FYI - I just wanted to let you know that your portfolio is very impressive. As a fellow UI designer, you've got some skills.

Hey, thx for the kind words. Sometimes you can forget what you have accomplished inn the past when times are tough.
I just know that I've used the great stuff you guys have made, and I really want to give back to the community. Since I cant prog worth a damn, graphics is gonna have to be it.

I hope you are able to do some work with Android developers. They really need it.
Get the AppAware app to check out what is most popular and make som mock-ups of those. I'm thinking Twitter (though there are a couple of good ones), RSS reader, Dialer, File explorer, Media player (podcast streamer, video player, youtube! oh good it
s so baaad). Or you could make a base interface that can be used on several different apps.

Right now, I'm looking at Andchat with zer0day. When/if we find an improved layout for him,I'll post it up like I did with the Pandora concept.

How about looking into Meta Morph and theming?
Since everyone wants their phone to look different than the next guys!
You could do some theming of your phone, post screen shots, and get some more buzz that way.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

I'm a UX designer and am willing to help.
Graphic designer + Dev + UX designer = great software

[APP] StriPad, another application launcher

I'm looking for beta-testers now, in order to refine my application and maybe find bugs.
This launcher is described and downloadable on my web site dystroy.org/stripad/
In a few words, it is designed to be efficient and greatly minimize the time needed to find and launch your applications (or to uninstall them).
If you could take the time to visit, test and comment this launcher...
[screenshots not possible for a forum newcomer...]
Hey I had a look at the screenshots, what an Awesome innovative idea! .
I wouldn't want to replace my home screen with it though. Maybe you might want to get into contact with some launchers (Launcher Pro etc) about making it an option to replace the app drawer with your StriPad?
I love this launcher!
I'll test this. This is my new favorite launcher. I've been looking for something like this ever since I went Android. Your launcher is a welcome change.
I love that it's only 63KB, fast, minimalist and low on resources.
I hate having a 1-2MB app just to launch other apps.
I don't use widgets or screens.
I had a FC while holding down a strip to change the color.
I also only see half of the color wheel when changing colors. I have a low resolution phone. 320x240
Checking the Processes I only see
Process CPU Mem.
system_server 129% 0Ko
com.google.process.gapps 129% 0Ko
com.android.phone 129% 0Ko
Took a look at it, not a bad idea, still rather launcher pro.
Good Idea.
But hard to use and could be prettier.
But I am looking forward for updates.
Awesome idea, but I use too many widgets for it to replace my current launcher. I'll be checking back for updates
Awesome work bro!
Thanks for your replies !
@lunigma : can you reproduce the problem and get me the stack-trace ? Do you know how to do it ? What you see on the process list is strange. What device do you have and with what version of Android ?
@TuRDMaN : if enough people are interested I'll continue my work. I'm currently working on an integration of the widgets (the stripes could be all retracted to the left, leaving the background to widgets).

The APP is funny, cool man, great work, i will still looking in this thread for up's.
OK.
I must admit that I'm not any more able to find the time and motivation to work on this project.
So, except if I find people willing to develop it (as open source), I won't finish it and I'll remain the sole user...

Would you consider making this into an "app drawer" replacement? Or maybe 2 versions. Full launcher version and app drawer replacement version. I think it would be an awesome app drawer. But I personally would not want to replace my launcher with this. It is a great idea though. and thanks for sharing.

Please don't drop this! I love the concept and the fact that it's so conservative on resources.
I'm using Stripad as main Launcher and Quickdesk for some widgets.
There are two flaws, though. On my Samsung Spica, it displays sometimes 8, sometimes 9 bars. The processes windows becomes empty after 3 or 4 seconds.
Again, I think this app is too good for you to drop. Please reconsider.

Thanks.

Android 4.0 Website Template

Hey, I am new here! But, one of my favorite UIs ever is Android 4.0 and I decided to create a website with the UI in mind and go from there... So as of now I have the first page but I dont think it looks too good(3 or 4/10) so if you could leave a comment telling me maybe what to change or what you would like to see changed. Thanks!
Source: GitHub
wonderful idea, but...
first, i would like you to move your headline with home and information and so on to the left side like in the ics app drawer. second, just edit ure posts, so they are looking like the standard google app design, like google talk or something like that, you know the apps(android)/post(webside) name in a headline and right of it the date(webside)/options(android)
.. maybe i'll find some more later
but keep on it is cool!!
i got my pc UI looking like ICS ;D
Alright ill try that and post some picture on this post tomorrow... its time for me to hit the pillow!
Sorry didn't get to post the pictures got stabbed:/ anyways let me go look at what that looks like... *Goes to see*... with the nav bar on the left it looks very plain on the right and I need something there, and can't think of anything, and I don't get your idea about the Google icons?
I don't suppose you are going to be sharing this template are you? I would absolutely love to get my hands on it.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G running IceColdSandwich on xda premium
I think is a very nice template, Anyway I'd use brighter colours cuz' IMO it's kinda dark.
Very nice, though I would put some icons next to headers like in settings of actual phone. Also headers to the left.
Also a little suggestion, use the icons for share etc to the right of headers. That would look good.
Its really good. Simplistic.

How to get android 4.0 ROOT?
Interesting. Would eliminate the need for a mobile-optimized version of the site.
Now is that background the simulated background of the phone (meaning all of the text boxes are floating), or is it the background of the website?
another thing i want to suggest to you is to use this backgroud (it's not the same you're using...different colours)!!
http://www.box.com/s/o2qj34m7g361tqn529nv
This is pretty AWESOME to use on the phone.... trust me i have it on my nexus s and it looks amazing!!!!!!!!
the background is beautiful, have you done it by your own?
btw: i would suggest to cut the sharp edged of the boxes. make it round

Progress...
Hey guys sorry I've been inactive, heres the progress update... I have fixed around some stuff and now looking into a CMS(Content Management System) or custom CMS. But my absolute next step needs to be is getting login to work with a sql database and me being an idiot am starting to learn php LAST in the fantastic 4 web based languages(CSS, HTML, JAVASCRIPT, and PHP). So if someone could direct me to the right place to get a grasp on how to write a login system or maybe just write one for my use
Edit:
Now is that background the simulated background of the phone (meaning all of the text boxes are floating), or is it the background of the website?

It is the background, and the text boxes are not floating just position: absolute(due to the right side of boxes)
I think is a very nice template, Anyway I'd use brighter colours cuz' IMO it's kinda dark.

All the colors are exact of ICS android, it may just look like its dark due to the background not full brightness because i dont need so much contrast between the boxes and the background(bad looks)
I don't suppose you are going to be sharing this template are you? I would absolutely love to get my hands on it.

I could help you out with the login system, but you would be better off with a CMS.
Integrate it in your existing code, or better yet.. Develop your theme for wordpress. That way, everything is in place and your login system is already there.

Thanks for the source, like the clean code! Mine is always messy until I manage to tidy up at the end.
By the way, have you thought of implementing the HTML5 standard (or soon to be standard)?
Over all this looks good. Did you manage to write a login?
Also, I have an idea, do you use jQuery?
There is a nice 'slider' plugin to the framework which could be styled for login box so it could look Xperia S style lockscreen.
If im not too busy I will try do it in spare time. But its fairly easy given that all the images can be obtained.

HTML5 honestly I haven't even looked into and I don't have enough spare time to learn it:/
I'm writing a login system now but I didn't want to release the source because it has no register, no session, no control panel, and no admin panel. And I don't like to release what isn't a full feature.
WordPress is probably my next step or a custom CMS because I love to have my own feeling to the CMS and not go based on a public one.
And if you can get the idea working for the login, I'm down with it just pm me, post it (wouldn't recommend), or send me a message on xfire: kilerbunny89. I'll make sureyou get the credit aswell I won't just steal your thunder

[APP][2.1+] Naked Browser 1.0 - A full featured yet tiny web browser

Hey now,
I was fed up with the privacy violations, bloat, instability, and general stupid functionality of Android browsers. I decided to make my own. Introducing...
Naked Browser
TRUST: Right permissions with no spying.
SPEED: No bloat, including minimal GUI candy.
FEATURES: Crash restore, undo close tab, one finger zoom, infinite tabs, and more.
FREE: As in no cost. Not even any ads.
Here's the web site: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
I've been working on this for the past few months. I've been quite meticulous when trying to focus on speed and avoiding bloat. As a result, it isn't the prettiest app in the world. However, please know that most of my effort went under the hood. Stability and a rich feature set mean more to me than eye candy.
Interesting concept. Must say, its REAL FAST
Inspite of all this, I would just advise some UI enhancements, thats it. Else it is a nearly perfect browser.
Oh, forgot to mention but the icon looks kind of old, how about adding a new trendy one? :thumbup:
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
It looks ok, though I cannot use it with this GUI mate... Looks fugly...
Would be the perfect browser If ui were tuned up a little bit... Will keep it installed to check for any updates
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks guys. I'm really happy to read that it's real fast and it would be the perfect browser.
I focused as close to 0% on the UI as possible. Honestly, that was a goal. My top priorities were speed, stability, and functionality/features. In fact, unless I forget something, other than the blue color I added the entire UI is based on function alone. I even resisted adding the button icons but it actually took time to read the labels to figure out what to do so I added them.
I even wanted to go with the generic default "andy the android" application icon but instead opted to draw my own globe from memory in about 3 minutes in GIMP. So, it's not an old icon! It's new!!! ;-P And obviously I'm no illustrator.
The UI shows my dedication to making it function properly rather than look beautiful. It's like Apache or something. The interface isn't beautiful--just a config file in Apache's case--but it works like a champ. Sometimes when you focus first on the way it looks (Microsoft?), you end up with a pile of doo doo. I prefer it to look crappy but run great. Later it can look and run great.
Anyway, thanks for checking it out. I'm still improving it so keep it installed if you like. You might find yourself using it, you might end up thinking it's beautiful, but either way it will improve.

Hope to see next version if possible maybe with modern icon
Keep the good job
thanks
Thanks for the app, it loads fast and i actually like the UI, it's kinda cute :angel: . Any plan for urlfilter like in opera mobile, so I can block ad locally?
Really fast browser! The UI is sooooo sick!!!
But I found that the bookmarks and history on the start page are not support unicode languages, such as Chinese...
And is there a history page? Seems not. I can only access to history on the start page...
If there's a history menu or it can show the history inside bookmark page would be nice.
The rest is fantastic!
Thanks!!

Yeah, right? It’s cute! Sure. Anyway, I would love adblock but it isn’t easy. I do not access transferred data so I can’t tell what’s an ad. I can imagine a few ways to access the data and filter it, so I’m keeping it in mind. Pro version.

I made some small tweaks so the next version might look a teensy bit better. If there’s anything really odd like labels that aren’t on buttons then let me know. Otherwise, I’m focusing on my goals for the app and “make shiny” is not at the top of the list right now.
Many people say that it looks horrible, and I agree. However, they need to know that I’m focusing all of my time on features, speed, and stability. Adding some graphics or making a more complicated UI are just going to take me away from working on stuff under the hood AND slow the browser down/eat up RAM. I have a little background with cars. First let’s get it running, then we can paint the thing. That being said, any feedback is encouraged so just keep it coming!

[APP][4.0+] GMDYO Launcher (Free) 1.2

GMDYO -> GO Make Dis Your Own Launcher (Free) 1.2
This is an alternative launcher as compared to the various launchers on the market. Given the capabilities of the Android system, we felt that more should have been done to improve the user experience. Thus we are doing this differently compared to current launchers available on the market right now. However, in order to ensure that we are able to cater to all of the needs of the users, we are releasing it as we develop it along the way.
Please do let us know what are the things that
- we are doing right
- what needs to be corrected or improved
- what features you want to see in the future releases
- overall are we heading in the right direction
NOTE :
This app is a work in progress and there might be bugs present. Currently, you can get out of the launcher just by pressing the "BACK" key on your mobile. This is done on purpose as we feel that its still too early for it to be a user's daily work horse and more suited to be a showcase instead.
More features are in the pipeline so do expect updates
If you do notice, we do have another version of GMDYO which is paid. However, please do note that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the PAID and FREE version. The reason we came out with two versions is because we feel that not all might want to get the paid version upfront to support the development and we did not like the idea of putting ads in the app and ruin the whole experience and thus, we decided to do it this way. If you can and feel that the app is worth your time, please do help by either getting the paid version or the free version. Do feedback to us anything that you feel that can be improved.
As I'm are currently under 10 posts, I'm unable to post the link to the app. However, a search in Play Store with "gmdyo" should be able to find the app. Will try and hit the target to 10 posts asap. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks for your time!
Sounds interesting, hope you do a good job with it.

This post was pulled out of my arse.
suggestions (maybe)
thx for this innovative new style of a launcher!
i have some ideas that would be cool for that kind of concept:
do you know lightning launcher and its way of not using a grid but some infinite desktop space?
if not, take a look at it, it's free in the market.
now think, wouldn't that be a cool addition to the concept of gmdyo?
the creation of much more intense "cities" would be possible and that would enrichen the experience quite a lot.
another idea would be making gmdyo a 3d thing, but honestly, i have no idea how to navigate that thing if it would be 3d...
anyway, thx for bringing up something innovative and new!
greetz and keep up the good work,

Did tried out Lightning Launcher. Think its a great concept with the infinite space! We are planning to integrate more features into GMDYO, 3D is definitely in the brainstorming stage but as we are concurrently doing development for other projects, so progress might be abit slow. Do look out for our other apps as we launch them!
Once again, thanks for your feedback and have a nice day!

[APP] [4.4+] Habitify - Habit Tracker for Devs

Since 2016, I have been developing a habit tracker because I saw there were many theoretical books but there were not so many tools to help us get started.
What is Habitify?
Habitify is a multi-platform habit tracker aimed at helping people form, track and measure new habits.
Why is Habitify "for Devs"?
After many interviews with my users, I came to realize Habitify is used mostly by devs, engineers or designers. The pain point of devs is sitting all day at the screen and forgetting to do important habits such as working out, drinking water or meditating. So I focus on tweaking Habitify to match devs' preference:
- Habitify is available on both mobiles, laptops, and watches, so technically it can remind devs wherever they are, whenever they want.
- I have integrated X-callback for automation purpose.
- I also simplify the design and make it tap-and-go. Devs are busy, so am I
Download
You can check the app on habitify.me or download Habitify on the Google Play Store. As I'm a newbie I cannot put the direct link here... so sorry about that.
Since I'm new to Android (been an iOS dev as a starter), I'm not sure if the app's design and function have this "Material Design" feeling, so can you guys share your thoughts and feedback? I just discovered Xda and I believe this is a good learning curve for me.
I'm happy to provide the Premium version if anyone is interested.
Hey mate!
I really like the app you've created. Im not a dev or a designer, but i use it for my personal stuff.
I really really love using the app, It has all the stuff neatly laid out and it does correspond to material design but still has a bit of the iOS flair.
I think you have just ported this app from iOS becuase the i've seen mentions of iTunes in the app.
If you fix these bugs, i think this will be a great app.
A small suggestion too - Create an AMOLED theme and maybe charge for that? Dark theme is really essential these days and i dont think it must be pay to use.
Hey mate!
Hey mate,
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, I port the app from iOS and since the app does exist on other platforms, I decided to leave iTunes there.
What do you mean by the Amoled theme? Is it different from the dark theme the app already has? If it's that important then we should charge for it, right?

Dark theme is where apps choose a darker color palette like yours does. The dark Blue shade.
Amoled theme is having a pure black color scheme. Everything menu, submenu in black.
I said it because, many apps in android have a basic dark theme and pay to use AMOLED theme.
Ah I see. But why should we focus on Amoled theme instead of Dark Blue? What if the Dark Blue looks better on some specific apps?

It does yes.
But AMOLED themes help have that consistency that people love to have on their phone.
I love your new app and I would like to have a promo code if it is possible to discover all the possibilities of the application
