Holo Facebook app concept
The Facebook's app new flat UI is quite nice but it's still far off the Holo design. This is why I designed this concept of what I always wanted the Facebook app to look like. It is basically the current Facebook flat UI with parts based on the latest update of the Google Newsstand app. The first photo shows the phone version, the rest show the tablet (Nexus 7) version in portrait mode.
I am not a developer so there is no way I will be actually able to make this app, but I decided to share it in case there is a developer who could! If so make sure to contact me.

Could you add translucent status bar

THIS is a good looking app... Hope Facebook see this and update their app UI (wich looks ridiculous on Tablets) or someone build an app with this concept as base. :good: :good: :good:

I would add a translucent status bar except I am against the use of it in certain apps, it makes the top of the app look strangely long and it makes it seem like Android is following everything iOS is doing. I love the translucent bars when it comes to showing pictures (something the stock gallery ironically doesn't do), the home launcher and a few other places where it works really well, however when the app has the huge menu/title bar at the top I think there isn't much purpose to have it translucent as it just shows the colour behind it.

Thank you! and I hope so as well! The current Facebook app layout is a huge improvement over the previous one which simply looked horrid in my opinion, but the current one still could be improved. My idea shows the holo concept, it would make the Facebook app more consistent with the other Android apps and therefore easier/more enjoyable to use.
I think Google should definitely have more control or enforce more of their guidelines for the app designs because what we have right now (especially from 3rd party apps, especially big ones like Facebook) is inconsistent mess really. Google needs to do something about it but honestly they need to do something about their apps first, if you want to know what I mean just open an app like Play Store or Newsstand and look at the layout and icons there and at the icons for search and pop out menu, then open their brand new app of Docs and just look at everything as a whole! The slide out menu is completely different from their other apps, and the icons on the title bar are also different, why change the search icon, the previous one was nice!
I am aware that I am looking at details here, but really these are quite major ones really, if this is the way Google is going with their apps (I mean the style of Docs) then that's fine with me, just please update the other apps to go along with it!
Sorry for the long paragraph but I honestly think they should do something about it, I'm pretty sure there are others who feel the same way as me.
That's an awsome concept, and some awsome design. I'm actually a little bit disappointed that such an app is not available yet.
You may..no..You Definitely should talk to guys at the Holofication Nation. They are Holofying apps for quite some time now.
Oh, and please keep posted about new developments. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! And I am disappointed too! I'm aware of the holofication nation and they're doing some great work!
The Facebook app is a tricky one since its UI isn't controlled by the app, but by the server (that's what I've heard) therefore can't be themed, which would mean a new app would have to be made.
I wish I could be able to actually make an app like that but since I don't know much about coding (I know quite a bit about theming) I can't really do anything, I can provide a concept at least!
I'm planning to make a Holo concept for the Twitter app as well, it will be similar to this one (I think).
Would anyone like to see a Quantum Paper Facebook app concept?
For those who don't know Quantum Paper is the rumoured new user interface which will be seen in the upcoming version Android (and other platforms), for more information head over to Android Police

Well, this is my first ever attempt on google android app development. I just wanted to share it here. Let me hear your comments, critics, feedbacks etc.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement in this app.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolfacts.app

All the facts in this app are funny, cool, informative, real and verifiable. The app comes with regular in-app updates from our facebook page, official website & twitter account whenever there is an update. So there is no end to the facts. Almost every day you will get new facts unlike many other cool facts apps. Also all of these facts are true as we are a team of people who care about the quality of our work. Most of the facts will be verifiable using wikipedia and other trusty websites like Nat Geo, Discovery etc.
Features:
Swipe Left or Right for next or previous facts.
Random Fact & Latest Fact Buttons.
Twitter sharing button. Amaze your followers with awesome cool facts.
Links to our Facebook, Google Plus & Twitter pages and to the official website.
A never ending list of cool facts.
This is the official http://www.coolfacts.in Android app. We're very happy to announce this app for all our android fans.
No feedbacks?
App seems nice. It could be interesting to have a widget instead of opening app and I don't like when then text couldn't fit the page that you link to the site to read the rest of the news.

So I think it should have a scrollable text view for the facts so that I don't have to link to the website?
A widget for "your daily fact" is an awesome idea, thanks for that!

The idea is pretty good, a widget would make it great !
Even more with the new DayDram mode on Android 4.2 you could have your facts randomly displayed when the devices are docked or charging.
Could be fun.

Done that and updated the app. I will try to come up with a widget options soon!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can any one please download it and try it out. I am sorry I had to ask this, there has been some issues after the latest update. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check it opens on your mobile.
I just wanted to know whether this is happening for new installations!
This is the video promo I created for this app. Hope you guys like it!

Did a UI improvement, let me know your thoughts!
Nice work
Cool Facts App just ahad a major UI revamp and now supports a lot more compared to the previous version.
Some updated functionalities include:
* Report false facts
* Copy the fact to clipboard and use/share it wherever you want!
Hope you like it, let me know your suggestions!
Force closes when I press "copy to clipboard" but other than that, cool.
Personally, if I were you, I would add a possibility to hide all the buttons at the buttom of screen for users who wouldn't use them. Maybe make the text a bit smaller (it's bigger on my 2.3.7 Gingerbread than on your screenshots, though) and maybe make the text "justify aligned" (I'm a bit fan of "justify alignment", lol)... Just some tips to make the app look a bit more simplistic, maybe.

I think I can include a button to toggle the visibility of all the buttons! that would be okay right?
I think the clipboard function is making the error because of your older version. I think I will have to check the version on which the app is running and then decide whether or not to show the button!

Possibly.
Make a text size adjuster too, if you can .. and maybe center allign the text if "justify" is not possible in Androd (I dont think it is).
Just some tips
Added button to disable all the buttons!
Let me know how do you like the new update!
I like facts, so I like this app . It is also a bit addicting searching for new facts which are more or less useful to know .
What is it?
How many times have you rambled through your phone searching for an App? Wondering where in the world, among all those icons is the one you are searching.
Worry no more! That's what EZ-Launch is for.
To be honest, Ez-Launch is more of a widget than an app, and it helps you makes sense of your overburdened home screen.
How do I install it ?
Well, after you find " Ez-Launch " on google play store and download (Apologies for the absence of a link) and download, You add the Ez-Launch widget to your homepage, and EZ does the rest.
The app will learn your preferences and give you E-Z access to your favorite apps.
What if I don't want this app or that app on my widget? What choices do I have?
In purpose of enabling you more control we have defined a settings screen that enables you to select one of 3 options for every app installed on your device:
Always - This app will always be on the widget
Off - Never place this app on the widget.
Auto - Its up for the EZ-Launch app to decide.
In addition you also have the possibility to save a state of the widget (a certain collection of apps that you like) and load it later on as you please.
What?? How does it work? Is it... MAGIC!?
No. It isn't magic. It is a project developed by 4 Computer science students from Tel aviv University within an android technologies workshop in collaboration with Google.
During the project we have researched, studied and developed algorithms and heuristics (Yeah, sounds a bit complicated) all for your benefit and ease of mind. In order not to burden the reader, we will briefly just explain that the application service simply learns you, and knows how to give you the most convenient arrangement for your home screen that just continues to improve.
This is a project in the Beta phase, and we strongly recommend that you give it a try and download, especially if you know someone (Like your parents) that is having a hard time managing their home screen.
For those of you who don't know what Beta means, it is the phase right before the official release of the app, where you get to try it for free(!) and even influence the development by giving us your valuable feedback.
That's right! If you have complaints, suggestions, or any type of feedback just let us know by contacting the development team by mail:
[email protected]
Or on our Facebook page, where you can also LIKE us:
facebook.com/EzLaunch
So download, enjoy and let us know what you think.
Yours with love,
EZ-Launch Team.

To be honest...
This has quite the potential. I am amazed that I seem to be the only one trying it out here! I've been using it a couple of days now and it already gives me a great list of my most used widgets. I'm using it as a 5x3 widget on my note and thanks for making it scrollable as well! :thumbup:
I will recommend this! Thanks!

Great app indeed!
I only have one comment: while using it with Nova Launcher, resizing the widget 'kills' the way the icons are displayed, as I can only see half of the last row (for custom number of rows/columns).
good work with the app, reminds me of similar things with WinMo 6.x on my Sony Eric son X1 a while back. Would be nice to have resizable app icons within the widget though, if possible.
What a great idea! I am also surprised this app is not getting more attention. Nice work.
Thank you all for the positive feedback. We derive great pleasure in knowing that people like our creation and find it useful.
Besides from relishing on your compliments we would also like to hear any suggestions or complaints you might have. Do not hesitate to post here, email us at [email protected] or like us on facebook.com/EzLaunch
Thanks. :good:
sadly only for android 4 and up on store.
any chance to have it for gingerbread too???

AW: New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!
Hi,
Nice app. Would be great if you could make icon text optional and a scale down for icons. Till now I used a launcher-x widget on my home screen that is 5x2 grid size and contains 7x3 icons of my most used apps.
As is use these apps often the text is not needed. By scaling down the icons I can just get more icons in it.
Pretty nice app so far. If you could implement some of these features it would be worth buying it.

Yes reset to apply work ones. Minor hassel
Hi,
i used the widget for about 12 hours now. Yesterday evening the widget was learning pretty well and presented my mosted used apps. This morning the widget presented totaly diffrent apps. Most of them i use very rare or even don't use at all.

The last update from a couple of hours ago caused a reset. Just use your phone like normal and after a couple of hours or days the widget will automatically give you a better list.

Welcome to the official Holofication Nation thread.
#holoyolo
http://www.holonation.co.uk/
Holofication Nation is currently a three man team, however, we plan to expand so we can produce more holo goodness in a shorter
time than the time it takes us to make them right now. Holofication Nation started off on Google+ as a small community,
we started to grow and we still continue to
Current Holofication Nation team members:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ConnorKirkby/
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BrandonDSouza/
https://plus.google.com/+BejanKanga/
Our goal is simple, to do what those big companies can't do, make a decent UI.
Currently we have a small selection of apps, just 5. The small number mean nothing, all of our apps
are up to a high standard to ensure that you have the best experience possible. Even after the first release, we continue to work
on the apps, to squash bugs and improve the UI even further. Below is a list of the current apps that we have modified (The list will grow!)
Instagram
Steam
Pandora
CNN
Grooveshark
Last.FM
You must uninstall the official application to install these mods.
To download our mods, visit our website or join the Google+ community and click "App Releases"
"How do I keep up with your work?"
It's simple, just join our Google+ community, all development will take place there. Other social networking sites will be added soon!

We will not modify system apps

Excellent work, though, guys!

Judging by the screenshots, your steam app is not HOLO at all. Improper navigation drawer, wrong action overflow button, and other aspects make it definitely not HOLO.

The navigation drawer cannot be modified to be the actual navigation drawer. The overflow button is the correct one which is in use in 4.4 KitKat. I made sure to stick by the design guidelines as closely as I could. At least it's no longer an eye-sore, huh?
I was wondering when we would finally get a central location for things like this. Would you mind posting the instagram without the transparent status bars. Its a little too ios's looking with the action bar flowing into the status bar.

We will be releasing two versions at each update, one without translucent system bars and one without.
Nice idea but you should consider creating xposed modules instead of patching apps.
This way users still can update the apps from playstore and you don't need to patch every version.
really cool :laugh: :good:
Nice!!
Lets see.
Amazon
OOkla speed test
Solid explorer
PicSpeed wallpapers
Kik messenger
CPU Master free
Um thats just a list of ideas. these are very popular apps and most have an old outdated UI

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!
I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.
I love your app Sleep Ambience!

Really good app. I will give you 5 stars!
Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.
ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.
I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.
Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.
Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.
I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

Very good idea. I'm thinking about replacing my app drawer with this app. Unfortunately the fly in and out animations are somewhat jerky (using a Note 3).

Yeah, Samsung devices seem to do that. I'm not sure why, since even my Galaxy Nexus is pretty smooth and the Note 3 is much more powerful. I'll keep trying to make it smoother for you.

Holofication Nation released a holo modfication to the official Steam app on the Play Store. The official Steam app hadn't been
updated in quite a while, and now it's got to the point where it's been three years since the last update of the official application.
Holofication Nation modifies applications so that they follow the most up to date design guidelines for Android, and as per usual, we've done it again.
What is this?
This App is a modification to the official app from Valve on the Play Store. This mod completely changes the user interface from the ugly interface
that is currently in use, to a more pleasing interface known as "Material design". The visuals of this app follow the Android design guidelines as closely as it
possibly can without having to recode the entire app.
As well as this app being a visual update, the app also comes with speed increases, stability and general smoothness all the way throughout the app.
A closer look
The standard app uses images for the text input box, send button and many more features of the app; using images for assets such as this contribute
to slowing down the speed of the app due to there being more files to read from. I have removed the need for many images in this app by moving the assets
from using images to using official Android code (Assets such as chat text input and the send button).
Every single visual asset of this app has been changed and rebuilt using the Android guidelines. The action bar is no longer an ugly bar with diagonal pin stripes
with a gradient overlay, it's now a single colour Android toolbar. The chat bubbles are no longer obnoxious low quality bubbles, they're now high quality boxes
similar to that of the boxes used for Hangouts. All these visual changes and more in the app.
On the official app, scrolling through web pages (such as people's profiles) was painful, scrolling would take forever with a huge noticeable lag on every scroll,
making tasks such as viewing your games list unbearable.

Excellent work as always.
Also: First.
Awww yeah!
Already downloaded and installed. I used the last version based on Holo and really liked it. I'm using it now and it feels very smooth on my Sprint LG G3 on Android 5.0.1.
Thanks for making this!
Awesome!

I'll try that in the future, the reason why I removed it in this build is I ran into some issues.

It's very awesome!

Dark theme is in the pipeline for this. Expect it in the future.
really nice work!
Great design, good job
Recommendation:
- Male more color schemes ( Light blue, red, green, black...)
- Bring back user avatar on the left panel
Firstly good work, you have saved our souls.
Would it be possible to add in extra stuff in the settings that could make the app more 'personal' such as colour changes to the text bubble or the theme etc..
The stuff other users have said
If possible I'm not sure, putting a button hat takes you to the steam community homepage and keep us logged in
Keep it up =]
Just realised that this is my first post despite having an account for ages

Wow excellent work!
Wow excellent work! I was looking for a replacement.
This app works really smooth and still has all the features the original app does!
