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.

That browser looks really really nice!
- there is no rush but is the dialer app the same? or is it something different?
- as far as social network integration, is that still the case i.e facebook syncs with the pictures?
I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Really nice Jaywan! I'm anxious already to get my hands on 3.0. I'm a 5 year old inside a 27 year old body. LOL

There is no Dialer at the moment since it's based on tablet software/sdk emulators and Facebook Sync hasn't been tested yet since it's nowhere near that point

No I don't think it does it seems to randomly be popping up but by release date that will have been long taken care of.
This is going to be fun.
I needed to move this to general section until we get something other than screenshots posted. Sorry for any confusion this causes.
I haven't felt this excited since I got a DiamondBack bike for Xmas when I was 7. Thank you Jaywan and Team Royal for sharing your talent and time with the world. We have very little to take with us when we die. What the XDA community and devs such as yourself have done, well, I can't even put it into words...
I don't know if u guyz/girlz hear this enough but I just to thank all of u for ressurecting the G1 and keeping it fed with all these new ROM(s)!!! The more ya'll make(excuse the ya'll I'm from TX ) the more I'll flash!!!! PS: I didn't care if this was the right place to post this so if it is I apollogize.

I third that!!! I still rock my G1. Granted its been stripped down apps wise and now converted to my new 'gpod' music player so I dont have to use a zune or crapple... THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!

I'm suprised devs are still interested in these old devices. Thank you devs!
I think the most of us just dont have a choice
I really love my phone, I'm trying to get the most out of it. A lot of people seem very, ...uneconomical when it comes to phone upgrades. I've almost had mine for three years. I only pay $20nzd per month for my phone bill, and i'm not on a contract, so I just tossed some money to the side every month and racked up enough for a Nexus S.
I agree!
Thing is, its not just the G1 being kept alive, magics are well and truly alive and kicking due to this brilliant bunch of developers.

I can't agree more, the g1 dev community is the best it has ever been since the device has been about. Every dev currently making roms are the best since 3 years and thats a truth.

I've been on my G2 for about a year now, but I just dug out the G1 today for a project. I'm going to use it as a development phone so that I can play around with ROM and Android stuff without having to always wipe my G2 or brick it!
So thanks again to the devs.

Go! Personally I am using Miui right now. I started on VU and then gave Miui a try. It feels a but quicker on Miui and their seems to be a lot more customization
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Oh boy. I see this going south. I LOVE miui because it has sms popups, themes galore, a nice dialer, and awesome support.
Sense is beautiful, has many variations, the system apps and widgets go on forever, and it really shows off what android is capable of visually. That said, it seems to take a tremendous amount of work by devs to make sense ROMs easy on the ol' battery. That, from my point of view makes them bloated. But, they can be made into fantastic daily drivers as has been shown repeatedly.
Lately I've used MIUI.

You probably think that TJ is being harsh and ruining a fun thing. But you have to take into account that redundant threads like this pollutes the site and when a noob tries to do the right thing and search for a thread he/she needs it'll be harder to find. And all he/she will do is ask the question in a thread that's been answered many times. Thus, it all just creates the circle of problems.

I ran both.
MIUI on Nexus One, which is incapable of properly running even Sense 2.1, having no devs to completely solve everything (trackball wake) and no graphical power to move it smoothly.
Sense 3.0 on MT4G, which is capable of running it fast and smooth.
Personally, I prefer Sense - it is visually and functionally better. While MIUI fixes a lot of things that stock Android did wrong (T9 dialer, notification bar toggles, launcher - in the aspect of adding widgets, smoothness and effects), it still falls short when it comes to Email, text selection (standard Android has selection position bugs and isn't nearly as comfortable as Sense), and just overall visual experience. But MIUI is small and fast, and on older phones it counts - and it supports A LOT of phones that have no better options. So, for me, if the phone can't run Sense or TouchWiz properly - MIUI would be the next best thing to choose.
I go to miui once in a while but find myself coming back to sense 3.0/3.5 only because its just so awesome... Sense is hands down the best thing that happened to android it adds so much to android... Basic stuff like browser ,mail, contacts integration made perfect.... Sense makes android beautiful with brains but miui on the other side is definitely for lower power phones like say moto defy or something like that... Btw love both of them

hey guys, im finally moving to android after using wm6.5 for the last 2 years. i hoping you can answer a couple of questions for me.......
my xe is arriving today and im pretty sure i'll be sticking to stock rom as i did on my hd2 but im wondering, how do i go about changing icons to my own designs and can i install user made widgets without having to flash anything. that was the thing i loved about my hd2, i skinned just about the whole phone so im hoping android will be the same.
sorry for the truely newb questions but im totally new to the scene......
thanks for any advice.....
Not sure about widgets, but icons will be easy. There's an app called Desktop Visualizer that lets you do this. You could also run a different launcher that has options for this. Keep in mind your app icons will look the same in your app drawer, though.
Yes you can install any widgets just by putting the APK on your phone and running it.
thanks for the tips guys, im sure i'll soon get the hang of android.....APK sounds like a good start, i'll check it out.....
I tip my hat to you for using wm6.5 for that long sir. Well done.

To be honest, I like my Sensation, but miss some features of my old WM.
The HD2 has the most amazing developer base.
