let's not forget this is a debug version (alpha), so save your useless comments about "android lags so much".
but no doubt it would be better without any sense 4.0.

and here a leaked video on youtube

Either way, who said it was an S4? I think you can assume it's an S3 more safely.

Its those unnecessary effects I see a lot of weak points

1. The launcher should be based in ICS this one looks dated and has unnecessary space .

2. the extra effects are not needed .

3. I see many Gingerbread items on top that should be updated

4. why get rid of roboto and hollo? they looks good.

5. too many addons to the task bar

Your weak point is your opinion. Not all of use agree with your view point. All the Rom I have try on my phone have added more option to the task bar. ICS launcher is on that good to look at. The one for go launcher is better in my opinion

24. protozeloz posted on 31 Jan 2012, 12:11 0 0

what I mean is simple if they want to have categories on the launcher they could have used the top bar instead of that huge space at the botton like on blur

they could have added the widget drawer too.

what I mean when I said "ICS Based" i don't mean the stock ICS drawer I mean one that has added functionality like nova launcher or trebuchet it keeps a great Look while adding features to the launcher, in simple words the launcher could be better it needs more work lots of them.

when I install a custom ROM on my device I like to have some things on my Notification bar but i'm not a huge fan of having it clogged with stuff (like a task manager for example) toggles are ok tho but having lots of stuff you don't use daily is rather unnecessary and a waste of space for notifications.

now effects I don't know they just seem to use a lot of resources and may cause some confusion I'm not a fan of stuff that's too flashy

I guess you have not use sense the notification bar and the toggle are on separate page when you pull down the notification bar. What you see is the setting menus.

I have seen sense on the Mytouch4G and the Evo it remains nearly the same and does not have the looks, heck if it was not because they showed the android version I would think it was GB. Google has being stepping up its game same could be said about Blur and Touch Wiz but I feel sense lags in the way I looks and feels and I'm not the Only one thinking about it

this would look nice on GB but for ICS this wont do

Its not a finished build of the hardware and software, everything is subject to change. They are probably still smoothing out Sense 4.0 and experimenting with Android 4.0 too. For all we know they can scrap the device.

Hopefully is just alpha and they will work into making it much more powerful

I hope this is pre-alpha because I can't see them straying too far from this UI if it's alpha.
