We have learned about the basic specs of the Google Nexus One, but many of the new software features of Android 2.1 remain a mystery. A couple of the updates we have found so far are visual tweaks. There is a new boot animation, improved app launcher, animated desktops, additional widgets, and more.
Since the ROM dump of the Nexus One became available, hackers have been tearing it apart and are working to backport applications and features. AndroidSPIN has posted the wallpapers and audio of the Nexus One for those who are curious. There are a lot of interesting new ringtones and several Nexus One themed wallpapers. Check out AndroidSPIN for other Nexus One hacks.

Anyone else notice that the Nexus One wallpaper is similar to the Microsoft Windows and Office logos? Red, Green, Blue and Yellow arranged so each takes 1/4 of a square. You would think they’d come up with something that was completely different, at least using different colors…
seriously? use different colors? look at the google logo, now look at the chrome logo, those are the colors that google uses for everything.
I just wish this came with Sense UI — Android stock just isn’t as polished to me, and it doesn’t look like Google did much to fix that. These wallpapers are nice, but I don’t get how an unbranded HTC/Sense-less phone is going to work. Why wouldn’t HTC sell this? Is this more than just a Dev phone? I just want HTC to chime in here and say something about what this phone is and isn’t and whether the PassionC is actually coming to Verizon or not.
Also, these ringtones are wack. I hope they don’t get super popular; some of them will cause me to rage at my workplace.
Well Sense UI isnt for everyone, I personally think it is cool looking but Im glad google is not shoving it down everyones throat. There are many widgets and apps out their that can create the same feel as the sense UI by the way and they can be hand picked.
These days the UI doesn’t really matter because every aspect of modern software is customizable, so all people need to do is download different themes etc.
I make my own wallpaper for my mobile phone using the free online wallpaper tool at mobilespin.net
