um there already "live" widgets. every widget is inherently live, otherwise its just an icon. what specifically are you looking for

how about some live app shortcuts... to use with Desktop Visualizer etc.
they could move around in different directions and such
imagine a blue wallpaper and icons shaped like clouds that are around your screen

adam might be on to something haha

but what I was sayin tho my widgets don't move they just sit on the screen that gets old after a while I already got moving walpapers the widgets should do some moving too like for the messages widgets the mail icon u just see a little blue picture and lines the lines should be letters...it should look like I'm typing something

There is a company that is working on some impressive stuff like what you are talking about. Check out tatHome. They have a bunch of videos that shows what they are working on and rumor has it that it will work on android devices.

Are you talking about something like the PDA in Iron Man 2 that what's his face uses? I thought it was badass to have a phone like that.

I checked out that tathome stuff.....and while it is ridiculously sick....its been in the works for just about a year now. I saw this work of genius seven months or so ago, and its still not out with any word of where its progress is at or perhaps a release date. This would keep me from switching to WP7 by the end of the year....but as of now the UI android has is not as smooth as it sooo could be, as everyone can plainly see in the demo video of tathome.
If anyone has any word on this, I'm quite sure it would be much appreciated by alot of people.

if you build it...they will come...
agreed, tathome looked sick... S E V E N months ago. sad its not released yet, i signed up for beta and STILL no word...not that i care a whole lot, but it did look smooth.
however, the switching back to a winmo device from evo is a bit harsh. i would rather be beaten to death by kimbo slice with a g1 before doing such a thing...

They had a beta testing program but they closed it. I've been keeping my eye out to see I'd they open it up to testing again.
What's your setup? Sense is real smooth for me.
I'm not impressed with win7.
But a few things look cool.
I'f you want to see the future of android check out mozilla seabird.
Seabird phone with tathome UI would be amazing.

If a dev could port this to the EVO it would be awesome. I hope to see something like this in the near future.

This is definitely a must have for the EVO.

If there has been no public development it is because some large company wrote a large check to either shelve it or use it in their own phones.

Anyone else hate the new market?

The new market popped up on my phone yesterday and I think its cluttered, ugly, and generally a hot mess. How does everyone else feel about it?

Well maybe it's just me then. I liked all the previous updates. This one just seems so cluttered. I feel like the whole android interface could use a facelift. Apple has the beautiful interface down, but they're restrictive and controlling, so I still prefer Android.

lol, many people will disagree with you... I like the look of honeycomb wayyyy more than iOS. I think honeycomb is gorgeous. I can't wait for ice cream sandwich.

I have to go with mark on this. iOS's UI is a lot smoother and cleaner than any version of Android to date. Does that make it better? Depends who you are.

I haven't used honeycomb - I thought it was just for tablets. We're not getting that on our phones, are we?
I'm looking forward to whatever the next release is. That's why I got the Nexus in the first place, to get updates (and untainted ones at that) .

Theres a unofficial port for it but a lot of its functionality is stripped.
Honeycomb is definitely beautiful though. Very smooth and solid.

yeah it's just for tablets, but ice cream sandwich is based off honeycomb and will bring many UI elements from honeycomb to our phones. I can't wait.

If you' re missing the iphone look you can always theme Android. The iphone theme for MIUI is pretty perfect, incl modded notifications etc.

I agree that iOS is old and boring but its still better designed than Android, honeycomb included. Honeycomb is a lot better (and fresher, so I prefer it now over iOS' design) but its still isn't as well designed technically.
In terms of design, I personally like WP7 the best.

Will android ever be pleasing on the eye?

Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.

Each to his own, I like the non gloss, but then I use the same windows theme that's on 98.. soo.. Just me maybe

I completely agree with you.
That said, MIUI should fix all of your problems.

Touchwiz is easy on the eyes so is sense in my opinion
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.

That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

Oh and this, I use Touchwiz

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..

Check out this launcher from China

Here is a link to the site. I've registered for a trial as well. The registration apk has access to the following: USB storage contents, network communication and phone status/ID.
TSF apparently has to modify the shell to work on your Note before sending you a Beta to test. After it is installed they will continue to work on your shell, modify it based on its performance and send updates accordingly. You will be monitored so if you have any qualms about giving these developers access to your system this is not for you.
http://www.tsfui.com/shell/index.html

Any news with that launcher, is it becoming available anytime soon?

Anyone can share the testing apk for us to taste?

Looks Pretty Cool: ) Lookin forwart to a release...
hah hate to wait for everything : (

Most ugly icons i seen. Just like miui. Will probebly taka a lot of battery and memory. And you loose performance.

That looks horrible IMO. Icon design is horrible, the general UI looks terrible, and too much is going on there.
(This is my opinion. Not yours)

makes sense it's made by asians, it's ricey as hell.

Too bad they went to work for RIM and abandoned android.

It honestly looks awesome! I cannot wait until they release it!

Yes you are right, looks like tat home, but has additional features like the box folders and the fan out of the apps icons, as well as the not aligned positioning of the icons. Will wait until available to try it out.

if I understand right the google italian translation from chinese there will be new features and the first release is really coming soon...

I like it.. Hopefully it gets finished and not dropped. Also since I own SPB mobile shell I hope they take their ques from TSF. Both are fancy but TSF seems to make the stuff you use everyday fancy. SPB looks nice when I want to show off to friends but 90% of the cool stuff I don't use day in and day out.
