Smartphone OS UI & Animation Development

I’m planning a brand-new smartphone operating system where visual experience takes center stage. Every interaction—from unlocking the device to switching apps—should feel fluid, engaging and unmistakably modern. Speed and security will be handled separately; what I need from you is an imaginative, technically sound user-interface layer built around distinctive icons and polished micro-animations.

Scope of work
• Design a complete UI framework for the home screen, app drawer, notifications and quick settings.
• Create a cohesive icon set (vector-based, adaptive to multiple DPI tiers).
• Produce motion guidelines and the actual animation assets for gestures, transitions and loading states.
• Deliver clickable prototypes and a reference implementation that can be compiled on an AOSP fork or similar test environment.

Acceptance criteria
• 60 fps performance on mid-range hardware emulator.
• Icons conform to Material or SF squared grids yet keep a unique style.
• All animations exported both as Lottie JSON and native vector drawables.
• Handoff package includes source files (Figma/Sketch + After Effects or Rive), build instructions and MIT-licensed code snippets.

Please attach a detailed project proposal outlining your approach, key milestones and any prior work that proves you can blend aesthetics with efficient code. I’ll review submissions on depth of concept, realism of timeline and demonstration of past UI animation expertise.
