edit: fixed, figured it out, im a newb to forums
i was poking around the evo forum for my friend and discovered miui. if you dont know it is a chinese rom that has been built for many snapdragon htc phones and translated into engrish.
it takes some of the better aspects of the iOS like the visually apealing menu skins and layouts and the thumbnail folder icons, has a dock much like iOS with drag and drop icons and no app drawer that can hold 5 apps.
apparently also has a secondary launcher that can come from the top of the screen presumably when you hit the home button that is like a standard android launcher.
has a unique app drawer that slides halfway down and tumbnails of the home screen pages pop up so you can move multiple apps to multiple screens without the drawer auto closing and a need to reopen for each app.
^this drawer is for widgets there is no app drawer, that can be fixed by putting apps in a folder and putting the folder on the launcher like an iphone.
it still has the android pull down notification bar and apparently has a scolling dock with toggles as well
i would love to see a port and some themes to go along with it. or a launcher/home app with some features borrowed.

some of the theming is a little odd and im alittle unsure if the screen space is enough for some of the features to be practical but it is interesting none the less.
also they have a browser that is apparently not with the rom that is said to be good.

I played with this rom on the Nexus, it's fantastic, extremely smooth, better battery then cyanogen, very nice overall feel.
I'd love to have this ported over to our galaxys
i love miui. i have i on my n1. my friend has a cappy, he would love to see it on the cappy. i was thinking about making a [idea] post in the dev forum. see if anyone has thought about it. i figure when froyo comes out for the cappy that there may be a port. i wish i knew how to dev for android.

i think the i-9000 guys are working it. i cant code, or dev. i dont like to make requests that i cant contribute to. i was just hoping if people see this then some of our devs might jump in. i think the great aosp work being done will help pave a road for this. but we dont even have a working true aosp rom yet. although designgears did get many aosp apps working in his dev rom.
if we could get some of the features even if we needed a samsung dialer and other apps a hybrid rom would be cool. the widget tray is a great idea. although i like the android app drawer, especially the galaxy s scrolling alphebetical list implementation (i can scan a column pretty good, i cant scan a page very good), this rom has features that i think would be great.
I want it ..
I want. Please.

To all you amazing dev's: Anyone interested in porting this to us? i think this launcher looks fantastic. Take a look at that vid, and here are the posts with files for it.

http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/326120/3d-interface-working/
edit: looks lke i was wrong its not VEGA, its PoV Mobii . I still think its really neat.
I think gojimi* already ported this in the themes n apps section.
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads/
look on that page for 3d launcher v 1.0
hmmm, i'll have to look deeper.
As a side note, I pulled the zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/329946/3d-desktop-plugin/#entry1567646 (backed up) and ran the bat after ADB found the device. it works like a champ. not customizable, but neat looking. It's worth a few moments as a diversion, but VTL.Launcher is still my fave
I guess i'm still looking for new and creative ways to brick my device. It didn't work this time, I'll have to try harder.
I assume this probably won't work on TNT then?
i dont see why not, it seems like another launcher.
Cool launcher but I would like to be able to change the apps on the dock. Until then. Back to VTL.
Its a very cool interface. Just seams like a demo though. Really like how it feels like a tablet interface should. Just wish you could change out links on the bottom bar. This is good progress for the future of tablets though. I really love vtl lately it will be my daily as soon as gingerbread gets hardware exceleration. Till then I'm sticking with beta 5.1.1 and launcher pro.
Is there a thread for this launcher in the themes and apps section? Did a search but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, I had to search to find it. I installed it last night using CM7, and it works fine.

so i just checked theme chooser in bulletproof 1.1 and noticed all of my cm7 themes i restored from mybackup root were there as well,
so i applied one as a test, and it worked!! it skinned the statusbar and the icons!!
screenshots coming soon!

I can't thank you - because I ran out for the day, but i'm going to post a link to this in my thread.
You just probably solved the issue of adding additional themes to my ROM that I was unsure of how to do - if you still have all the stock themes from T-Mo/HTC as well.
Do you?
If so - you are the man!
I still do, when I set the new theme the icons you changed take a reboot to take effect, and of course htc bits don't get skinned but its a start!
when you set a theme when you go back to theme chooser it forcecloses a few times. but i was able to set a few different themes =]

Fantastic - I linked to this post from my ROM thread.
Looks like you cracked the nut open, and now it's time to sort the tasty bits from the shells.
I really appreciate you posting this find - keep us updated on what you come up with.
I'm going to spend a little time cleaning up the GPS thread I got going in dev, then jump back to Bulletproof - you've motivated me to do more work on the graphics/themes now instead of waiting.
Since it seems everyone is pretty stable on 1.1, i'll take this rest period to spend some more time graphically cleaning things up and see what I can do to get more themes added to the ROM.
I am certainly going to make a few more lockrings today - I have made and tested some using different shapes besides the ring and they work out well without problems.
I'll bang out some of those rings, then slide right into working on themes and probably cruise that avenue of development until sunrise.
I actually have to go out in the world and do some stuff tomorrow, but you've got me really excited and motivated.
If you clear cache and dalvik-cache before trying to load themes, you'll suffer less force closes on the theme chooser - let me right now make you a flashable zip i'll attach to this thread to uninstall and re-install the theme chooser and clear caches for you.
If you flash that after the new themes are on the device, it should reset the theme chooser and prevent the force closes - give me ten mins or so and i'll have it up here for you.
Dude - when I get my thanks button back you're getting some!
Edit:
Looks like I have the themes mod still up on my host for when I added the stock themes back in to the ROM when people wanted them before 1.1 - just flash this and it should solve your theme chooser problems.
Make a nandroid first - but let me know how this works for you.

I can't tell you how freaking excited I am right now - i'm bursting at the seams from happiness and this is all your doing - seeing 6/11 in that pic of theme chooser just made my month.
You just successfully swung my focus fully on this issue as soon as I get the GPS thread straightened out - so within the hour my attentions will be on this.
You rock man!

D'oh! Sorry - had an empty space in the link that made it not work - my apologies, got a little loopy in my excitement!
It's fixed now, but still broken in your quote because it saved it as it was when you quoted it.

I flashed the zip. When i open theme chooser all the previews are blank. I figure this is because since they were not built to preview the themes. After applying a regular mytouch theme all the previews are there. It seems like the gesture of sliding through the previews makes them forceclose oddly enough. Sliding slowly produces no forcecloses. And when using a system theme, fast slides work fine. Im guessing there are effects missing in the cm7 themes present in htc themes

Okay - good to know and thanks for the information.
We're kinda wandering through uncharted territory as far as my knowledge base goes - while some more veteran devs may be able to handle this off the top of their head to me it's all new.
All the little tidbits of info you are providing is helping a ton - I don't have a copy of CM7 for this device, so to download it now would knock me offline.
I am, however, running CM7 on my Nook Color, which is sitting right here, so now that i've got the GPS thread handled i'm gonna see about pulling some stuff from it and getting a start on this.
I am flashing a fresh copy of 1.1 to my dev phone as I type this.
I will not be including any CM7 themes in my Bulletproof release without direct permission from them. I've asked and received permission to use some of their work in the past - which never came about because it was when I was going to take over CK23's ROM. That obviously didn't go anywhere so neither did the need to use some of their work then.
They are great people and the only request they made was to give them credit for the works of theirs I used. That being something that's important to me - as seen in my ROM thread - I don't see it being a problem to use their themes...
... but not without asking, and if they decide they do not want me to use their themes in my ROM it's not gonna happen... and no hard feelings if they say no - for all they've done for the dev community the least the rest of us can do is respect their wishes.
For the time being, i'll be using their themes to test some stuff out and see how it all works - but again, any public release is dependent upon their permission. With the attention that whole team is putting to ICS I don't expect to get any kind of answer any time soon.
I think It would be a good idea to use the themes to knock the kinks out of using cm7 themes, and build that modified version of theme chooser into bulletproof. I that way we could use the themes with no issues and just go find and download them on our own.

I like this idea too. Figuring out what's missing from either the two theme-chooser/manager.apk files or the themes themselves so people can find their own themes is definitely important.
My goal for Bulletproof was to distribute it with about 20 themes to start on a fresh install - we gotta do something with all that free internal memory available now.
You've definitely paved the way for that dream to become a reality with this discovery and the supporting information you've been supplying since - I can't thank you enough for this.
I love the open source philosophy, curious people, and the home XDA has made for us to share awesome stuff like this - I just can't contain my level of excitement right now and am bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
It really is amazing, I'm just glad to have a mysense rom with awesome themes like honeycomb and gingerblur.
I think the themes themselves are missing the animations compatible with htcs theme engine.
The normal one doesn't bounce around with card like themes. I think that's the real problem, including which makes sense why it doesn't handle swipes well. I it doesn't know how to replicate the bouncing cards.

Could i get that honeybread theme, on my mine, without having to use another ROM? and if so, can some point me in the right direction? TIA

As far as I can tell it just requires a deodexed rooted mysense ROM.
Use mybackup root to backup your apps including themes and restore it them with data afterward

Yeah I can't download the themes anymore, and I deleted my titanium backups recently. Ill try it tonight, my brother is running the cm7 rom

Hello,
As always, developers are sliding further and further away from the Sense UI. While I am also for this, I am curious as to what will happen with the functionality of the Media Link HD. Will developers be able to keep the functionality in there while removing most of the sense bloat or will this be considered bloat? Can somebody tell me exactly what "apps" htc has added for the functionality so that we can put them back if the developers remove them? What kind of dependencies do these apps need? Thank you for your help.
I imagine no one will know that until it is tried/we get an unlocked bootloader
Sense apps are usually pretty intertwined with the Sense framework. AFAIK, there has been little success importing Sense apps and features to AOSP ROMs. On the other hand, Sense ROMs stripped of some of their features and bloat, and themed to look AOSP are not out of the question (and pretty prevalent on other devices). Its possible a dev will make something like this, and leave the Media Link HD function intact. The only way to really answer this question, is if some devs come on here and tell you themselves. Even then, its so early on, and those plans may well change.
Scott's CleanROM Dev edition is pretty close. It still has the media link and some other sense features but the launcher and widgets are all stripped out. Runs very nice and Apex launcher is built in.
