iPhone Home Screen Redesign [Concept]

Geoff Teehan from Teehan+Lax has posted his vision for the iPhone Home Screen. Unfortunately, Apple has prevented any changes to the home screen via the SDK; however, its possible that someone could create an implementation of this for users with jailbroken devices.

You can see from the screens it's essentially just a scrollable list of applications and notifications. We envision it behaving in much the same way that the list view does in the Calendar application. By default it may track things like missed calls, unread emails and calendar events. But what if users could allow other apps to feed into this screen as well? If I'm a Facebook junkie I'd be able to tell the Facebook app to include certain feeds on my home screen. If I was a frequent traveler I may include the Tripit app to show me my upcoming trips. The options would only be limited by what apps you have installed.

Basically the design allows you to create a scrollable home screen of the stuff that matters to you.

Either this or, even better: Intelliscreen. Well, I stopped jailbreaking because of the time wasted. I do miss INTELLISCREEN though... A better way would be for Apple to approve of Intelliscreen. Why not start a "referendum"? Who would like to see Intelliscreen (or similar) in the APP Store?????

I really would like to use a home screen like this. It will take the iphone to a whole new level

NO, NO, NO I dont like it!!! NO Please.

Apple - September 23, 2009 at 8:38pm

I dont like this at all. Oh please DONT make it look like a windows mobile. PLEASE DONT!!

looks TOO much like Windows Mobile. Apple should just make the Homescreen rotate.

Apple should have about 4-5 diff default screens on the phone automaticly and they should have where you can download or make youre own home screen. There's no way people should be getting bored with their iPhones.

Or instead of intelliscreen you can use gruppled lock info and status notifier. It'll give you the same effect of missed calls, txts, emails, calander events, 5 day forcast etc. on the lock screen. and just add a weather widget. Very simple. but as always if Apple had it native in the firmware it would run smooth and be that much less to add via jailbreaking.

Intelliscreen is the only reason I jailbreak my iPhone these days. If Apple provided lock-screen functionality like this, I would gladly do without jailbreaking.

looks awesome

ikunz - September 24, 2009 at 2:20am

I agree, i would not jailbreak if apple has somthing like this. Really the lockscreen with Intelliscreen is the must have on the iPhone.

iPhone Home screen its getting boring. I hope apple its thinking of a change or I'm moving on , maybe to the HTC sense UI. I want to customize my iPhone!!!!!

yiyopr - September 23, 2009 at 4:33pm

I hope nothing like this comes out. This is exactly how other smartphones looks like, especially windows mobile smartphones... The 16 icons in a page looks fine to me.

you can have this functionality (you have to jailbreak) with Intelliscreen, works quite well (they ironed most of the bugs). It's time apple does something in this direction and actually with the whole flat menu idea, it was OK for a few apps, not so for dozens.

any way you can email me hw i can jailbreak my iphone 3gs?

Wigawoods - September 23, 2009 at 4:19pm

There already is an app like that called intelliscreen...I believe it cost like 10 bucks with other features...you get it from cydia and yes your iPhone needs to be jailbroken...Cmon!!!

Geezer - September 23, 2009 at 4:07pm

So basically make it look like the Windows Mobile home screen. Gee, no thanks! I expect Apple to think out of the box not just recycle old ideas.

Tim - September 23, 2009 at 4:15pm

So what you are saying is that you prefer looks over functionality... Each to their own

joseph - September 24, 2009 at 1:15am

hell to the yeah. i hate the windows phones. apple always is like a million steps ahead. they will comeout with something so much better.

Tim - September 23, 2009 at 3:34pm

I would happily pay for this feature on an iPhone.. Patiently waiting :-(

hempie - September 23, 2009 at 3:28pm

gotta love that 420 reference....

Jay - September 23, 2009 at 3:23pm

Looks like Windows Mobile to me...

monal - September 23, 2009 at 3:53pm
