So I remembered a cool concept from a long time ago that I had seen on engadget. It was a really cool UI that you operated with only one finger and dragging. It was a truly unique design and I loved the futuristic appearance. After a few hours of trying to remember the name and googling, I found it! Now I am aware that this concept is 2 years old, but its still so fresh and awesome.
Its called the Emblaze Else handset. The UI and OS is based on linux too! So would it be possible to get someone to build a simple homescreen replacement based on this? or maybe in some magical way get a port of this? It is the most drool worthy thing I have ever seen.

wow i like that alot, wish i had it
The Devs here all started just like this dude, they wanted something and learned how to make it happen. Google is an awesome source for finding how to's. Instead of asking someone else to do it for you, Google it and do it yourself. I'm sure if you pm any of the Devs they could help you with any questions if you get stuck.

Appreciate the encouragement. I have looked at the sdk page and have watched a few tutorial videos online but I have never written a line of code in my life. For anything.
That said. Is there a language that is both easy to learn, and compatible with the sdk to build a launcher with?
Ide be open to any suggestons or links to language tutorials! I would love to be able to learn some coding and contribute to the community.

posting in here so i know where to come back, hope for some good info or sources on getting into programming as im stuck trying to figure out which ones best to start with.
Great looking design im sure it was a great idea bought out by some company that just had their leader step down so we would never get to choose it or something!
I can't find any new messages 'bout this software. I wish to try install it on my mobile... Is anybody has any news or tried to download this UI ??
Haha this ui was designed by a company called emblaze for a whole new phone.
Although it is built using linux, the entire OS was never released and neither was the phone. I made a thread about it to see if some devs would be willing to build a launcher similar to this. Its an amazing ui.
I believe one of the key designers now works for HP so hopefully we will see something like this coming to the next generation of devices from them.

Haha same here.
But honestly though every operating system has some type of semi-severe problem. For example Windows registry, dll's, and NTFS. Linux's ridiculous amount of distros (I use Super OS personally), over dependency on the CLI, and horrendous looking default themes that put most people off of it. Apple's price gouging, security by obscurity, and closed off development platform.

For us tech people 100+ distros isn't a bad thing, but tell a commoner to use stock Ubuntu and I guarantee that he or she will keep calling you asking how to play their DVD's, their MP3/WMA library, why their printer/scanner doesn't work (Lexmark X1290 in my case) etc, etc.

Yeah i know, people have been asking this for a long time now. But the thing is, if they wanted Android, i wonder why did they buy a HD2 in first place? haha
I, too, came from android, but I wanted to try winmo that's why i went with Hd2 instead of nexus one. Although i miss android, I don't think the Hd2 needs Android. I love it so far. just hoped sling player worked on it. otherwise, phone is great.
to the OP:
i would suggest looking into evo or something else, if u want android man. Don't hope everything can be ported these days. Porting a mobile OS is a pain in the you know what. And these devs who doesn't get paid to port, won't port it unless they really want to sacrifice precious time of their lives.

ive buyed hd2 because of the good hardware. but i thik android its better than WM 6.5.

It's quite obvious that this thread is useless and against the rules.
To answer your question:
There is no Android available at all for the HD2 at this moment.
Please refer to the thread; remember to only post when necessary.

I will agree with everyone that Android Market vs WM Market has more free Apps. I will love to see more developers create apps for WM or create a cooked room for HD2 with The android App
hey if u really want android on your HD2 i would sell that HD2 to the highest bidder and switch to Sprint and buy the amazing EVO

im trying to get gingerbread as i type this
I just found it this morning. Suck on this apple we can do Pocket God too!! Finally the android market is catching up to Iphone Market.
The game is supper buggy like all of the other apple to android apps.
Its also freaking massive without a to SD option. Which kinda sucks.
I played it for like 20 minutes and I noticed that every once in a while my islanders would spontaneously turn into massive random pixel boxes.
Oh and if you have a lower end phone good luck. My Evo ran this just fine but my old Hero was crazy slow. So snapdragon devices should be fine as far as I can tell.
I'm not trying to advertise I promise. I just wanted people to know what I found.

It is running against the non commercial, open philosophy of xda-developers.
But you are right, it is a good question. But a very difficult one. How do you keep a forum open for development, knowledge sharing etc. and at the same time allow commercial activities. Hard one. Think of Apple and Microsoft together on one forum "sharing" some knowledge and experience. You gonna love that.

@OP
If there was a free version, that would be ok. However, this is a paid app and as such, that is why appelflap called you on the non-commercial rules of XDA (namely Rules 7 and 11). I know that you posted without the intent of selling this, but rules are rules and we cannot allow commercial links in here. If the devs of the game feel like they can offer a free version (much like the good boys at Rovio did with Angry Birds), then they can bring it here. Until then, I will have to edit your first post to remove the market references. This will be left open for discussion purposes only.
Love it
I have been waiting for this to come to android before I even bought my phone lol.
it works great on my Incredible, no lag or F/Cs so far.

i think we should stop being surprised by age and everything with the doubting and whatever. im just wondering what a kid would be doing with a cell phone like a sensation at his age and who was the one that taught him or when he started learning.
if this is coming out soon, please include the ring lockscreen style
People are making a big deal about this and he hasn't posted anything yet. Don't get me wrong, I encourage all people to share on xda if they want to but from the sounds of it he deleted some system apps and might of made a couple tweaks. I'm not downgrading him at all cuz even that is impressive at age 12. Xboarder has developed some nice stuff for the age of 16 which is truly awesome! I wish both of you youngins great success .

I think its a bit cheeky downloading someones ROM zipmodding it then saying its going to be way better lol. Why dont you download from source and make something cool
I've been contemplating this for some time now and as I become more committed to doing this I decided to come to the XDA community for input. Love it or hate it MIUI has done some things right when it comes to custom ROMs. The one big thing that I feel they offered that others have fallen short on is it's theming ability. Other parts of MIUI come with their pros and cons but the one thing that has stifled it's growth in the community is the lack of open sourced code. I've been porting MIUI on several devices for miui.us for a while now and the one thing that has really been a pain is the countless smali hacks needed to get a good port released.
So with that said, here's what this post is really about. I'd like to begin work on a completely open source clone of MIUI. I'm not looking to make this a 100% clone, but I would like to implement as many of the features that makes it a good and unique ROM. First and foremost would be getting the framework and SystemUI modified to work with MIUI's themes. From that point the project could be broken down into all the various sub-projects like the customized apps. I understand the magnitude of this project and it's not one that a single person can take on. Part of what makes the open source community so great is the fact that people from all over the world can contribute to make a product better and I believe that with others that are committed to seeing a project such as the one I propose come to fruition as I am, this could easily become a reality.
I've worked on large projects and I've done my fair share of android development both on the application side and on the ROM side of things, so I understand the breadth of this project. What I'd like to know is if this sounds like something others would be interested in both from a user's perspective and from a developer's perspective. With it being AOSP based and open sourced, we could see better support for devices which MIUI does not officially support.
tl;dr - I'd like to start an AOSP based project that offers an alternative to MIUI's closed source ROM. MIUI theme support is a must and if stock MIUI apps could work with it out of the box, even better. I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas about such a project.
note: I have the experience and know how to make this a reality with the right team and contributors. I'm merely looking for feedback and those that may be interested in contributing to the project.
Thanks for your time.
you know i love the idea happy to see this might finally be a reality, and count on me to help wherever i can. now hurry up so i can port it to the One S buddy
Count on me on whatever you need You are an awesome dev after all, this will be easy for you.
completly agree, its one of the big deciding factors to me using miui. its especially a big problem when it comes to updaing base versions like ics to jellybean.
i would absolutly love to have paranoidandroid(tablet/n7 interface options) with themes(and icon generation) and lbe integration.

Thanks superkid. It won't be easy though but that's why I think a lot of us do this stuff, for the challenge. And who knows, as the project matures we may see some of it's features end up in other ROMs, which would be cool by me. That's part of what is motivating me to take the initiative on getting this project off the ground.
+1 for this
This is the reason I love XDA so much! Great idea and I hope it becomes the best alternative to MIUI
Can't contribute code but will support it for Xperia Neo & Arc when the code is released lithium

Until there's something to release, this doesn't belong in the Development forum.
Moved to General.
It would be a great project. I'd love to see what comes of it.
LeWa OS
I know LeWa did something similar to this. It looks good, but could really use some improvement. I'm pretty handy with adobe illustrator if you need any design let me know.
I'm currently porting MIUI for Samsung GT-i9300 on AOSP base and really want to support this cause. It's a brilliant ideea, like the man who wants to implement it.
You can count on me.
Sounds awesome. Hope it happens.
A move like this is big and can only happen at xda. I'm not a dev but would donate to this project.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I stopped support for CM10, AOKP and so on because of a lack of support for devices. Also their code is unstable, sloppy, ...
I always have skipped MIUI because of the Chinese stuff included. If we can start a open source MIUI project with better translations I will support you and help programming.
I will only support the project if the focus is on user experience, and not crazy modifications like Cyanogenmod. We have enough of those. By this I mean color multipliers, gamma multipliers, vibration multipliers, ...
I also would like to support tablets if this is a go. I can also translate to dutch.
I'd be interested in supporting this project.. I'm a dev, Java primarily but I'm half decent with C/C++ so would definitely like to help out.. Always like MIUI but find it very laggy in general compared to other offerings
A nice idea, will be interesting to see how it goes!
super great idea good luck to all devs and contributors.
Q: is the miui promise to open source is off? is their github updating or dead?
Sounds good. I'm in.
