I am researching to find which UI framework is good with AngularJS, in the basis Performance, Compatibility, Visual look and feel.
Can someone please suggest me to select the UI framework with AngularJS.
So far I can see that UI Bootstrap is the super cool and easy to use framework to work with AngularJS.
Please go through the amazing features of this framework here
For developers using AngularJS, Angular Material is both a UI Component framework and a reference implementation of Google's Material Design Specification. This project provides a set of reusable, well-tested, and accessible UI components based on Material Design.

I have old multi-page Rails website (more than 30 pages) and I'm going to implement Material design with some JavaScript effects for it. After investigations I found that Angular Material provides the most appropriate solution for me. But I'm not sure if it's good to use it, because I have multi-page site. As I understand basically Angular is used for single-page applications.
In fact I'll use only Angular Messages, Material, Animation and View features. Please advise if using such massive JS framework worth it in this case.
Angular does not need to be used only for SPAs. Here's a more in depth discussion of the topic Is AngularJS just for single-page applications (SPAs)?. That said, if all your using is messages, material and animation, those should be the only components you need to add to the project and so you shouldn't be bringing in anything more than is required, such as angular routing. Hope this helps!
Please help me understand the following quotes from the Angular Material github and home page:
This project is in early pre-release. Angular Material is both a reference implementation of Material Design and a complementary effort to the Polymer project's Paper Elements collection.
The Angular Material Design project is a reference implementation effort similar to that provided in the Polymer project's Paper elements collection. This project provides a set of AngularJS UI elements that implement the material design system.
I understand that Polymer is a framework for web components, and that one piece of the project is the collection of paper elements. I do not understand how the two are related, or why Google is developing two strikingly similar, yet different projects.
Is angular material simply a port of Paper Elements to angular?
Are web developers to use Angular Material right alongside Paper Elements in their web apps?
Are the two eventually going to effectively become equivalent? (Angular Material being used by AngularJS developers & Paper Elements used by others?)
I think you should consider the fact that web components, polymer, material design, paper elements and angular are 5 distinct 'things'.
Web components is a group of 4 standards.
Polymer is a sugar syntax api on top of web components + some nice additional features.
Material Design is the latest style and interaction guide Google has announced and they are
replicating more consistently across all their interfaces..web/mobile/etc.
Paper Elements are just an implementation of material design using Polymer. At the ChromeDev Summit Polymer team commented they plan to move paper elements into its own domain to avoid the confusion. Same things about the polyfills, these have been moved to webcomponents.org.
Angular is a library with a much wider scope than polymer.
Angular Material is just another implementation of material design using Angular.
My point being...material design will be reimplemented in as many flavors Google has to generate interfaces.
Google has a history of competing projects. But Angular's team has announced they will be using web components as well in their 2.0 version which is on the works right now. Will they use polymer to create directives? who knows? maybe..
From the recent ng-conf 2015 announcements it's clear that Angular 2.0 will have a new syntax and implementation to write Web Components spec based Custom Components (Directives).
Also, Angular-Material team has announced that post 1.0, they'll be porting it to Angular 2.0.
Hence, integration of Angular-Material and Polymer isn't in sight...Though, the good thing is that coz they're both based on Web Component Spec, they play well together, meaning that either can be used in an Angular App...
I have started an android app development.
I want to integrate Kendo Mobile UI with Angularjs and Topcoat . But I am getting confused with all this. Please help me to understand the implementation of this thing.
Also I am confused with the fact that is the implementation of Angularjs and Kendo UI is same as the implementation of Angularjs and Kendo Mobile UI ?
Please help me with this. Thanks in advance.
I recommend checking this blog post: http://developer.telerik.com/featured/announcing-support-for-kendo-ui-mobile-with-angularjs/
Regarding your AngularJS/KendoUI concern, the Telerik resource linked here should be helpful to devs looking to optimally use AngularJS functionality within Kendo UI Mobile. AngularJS documentation and integration methods were updated in late 2014: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mobile/angular/sushi-angular-tutorial
I'm evaluating Kendo with Angular and Bootstrap 3, fairly new in javascript land. Is there a preferred way as to use which components where? I know you can mix and match, but that seems messy. Does anyone have any basic guidelines or pointers?
There are different integration demos on the Kendo Labs site which should bring you the idea when it comes to integration with third party libraries. Here is link to the Angular demo on GitHub.
I've been developing a mobile app with AngularJS and zeptoJS but the combination of those two is not providing any UI widgets
I've seen this topic: Is there a UI library for angularjs for use in a phonegap app?
but I'm looking for more answers ( really, LungoJS is the only answer? and I'm not going to use jQueryMobile. ). Are there any other light libraries ?
IonicFramework is a framework designed for exactly this purpose. Its fairly modern though. As such it doesn't have much in the way of backwards compatibility.
Angular Material (currently for 1.x only)

Mobile Angular UI lets you use Bootstrap 3 css stripped out of desktop related media queries and Angular.js to develop mobile apps fast.
Its purpose is to achieve the same of Jquery Mobile but using Bootstrap 3 for the UI and AngularJs in place of Jquery.
It provides also other essential mobile components that are not included in Bootstrap 3 like sidebars, scrollable areas, absolute positioned top and bottom navbars that don't bounce on scroll and more.
I also like TopCoat which is a CSS mobile/desktop framework that works well with Angular. See it in action with angular here: http://coenraets.org/blog/2013/11/sample-mobile-application-with-angularjs/ and the library at http://www.topcoat.io
Check my answer here where I resumed other options for UI frameworks as well as Pros and Cons.
Including kendo UI, phone.js, chocolate chip, steroids.
Custom CSS for Mobile development using Phonegap/Cordova
Top coat and bootstrap also nice ones as already mentioned.
Maybe reconsider jQueryMobile.
Quite a few months ago we started a new project and considered all of the options listed above for a client side framework. We were looking for a large set of mobile-optimized UI widgets. A widget catalog was more important to us than whether the framework provided an MV* architecture, so tools like AngularJS, MeteorJS and EmberJS were secondary. We found jQueryMobile as the best option for us. Bootstrap, Ionic, Kendo, Sensa, etc. didn't seem to have as many and varied out-of-the-box widgets specifically for mobile. The space of mobile tools is in transition, but so far I think we made the best decision for our use case.
