Hi guys... I really like the standard 2.1 animations (fade in, fade out) that the nexus one has and every other AOSP build also.
But how can we enable them on our Hero ? I mean... the 2.1 leak is DAMN fast and smooth, it should not be a performance problem. Even a HTC Touch Pro 2, which is a WM device can run an Android 2.1 with smooth animations (source http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/...new-lease-of-android-life-loves-it-vide/?s=t5) ...
The other think... the standard 1.5 builds had this awesome fancy rotation animation which you could enable with the Spare Parts app... but for an unknown reason they don't work on any 2.1 build ??? I really liked this too...
I hope that someone can give me a proper answer!
omg.. can't believe that nobody is interested in this!!!
Thats what i was wondering too, how hard is it to port the nexus rom onto the HTC Hero?
Do you really like fancy rotation animation? Look at the iphone thats quick and realy beautiful!
Maybe Spare Parts can change fade in, fade out it in near future.

There must be even a way without spare parts.. it us just an app that enables some settings.
Maybe we can enable animations manually somehow ??? I know on WM there is a registry... but dunno how Android works!
you can flash different animations by changing the Anim folder in framework-res.apk im using blur animations on villainrom 3.3 by doing this
bonesy, can you detail how you did it?
It's easy just grab the res/anims folder from within the framework-res.apk of a 2.1 Rom to do that extract the anims folder using a live archiver like winrar or izarc, copy it into the framework-res.apk pulled from your desired hero Rom via adb or extracting the Rom update.zip, the framework-res.apk is in the following directory system/framework, and once it is copied into the framework-res.apk either adb push it back to your device or add it to a blank update.zip, ammend the update-script and sign it using a auto-signer script then flash it on your device.
Let me know which 2.1 Rom animations you want and which Rom you are currently using and I will make you a update_signed.zip to flash to your device

Cool! Thanks for the informations. I will try myself when I have time, but can you make animations (fade in/fade out like on the iphone if it's available, dunno the different animations that are available) for VanillainROM 3.4 (i'm using 3.3 but it's basically the same).
Okay I tried myself extracting the anim folder from a Nexus One ROM and replace it with the anim of my ROM's framework-res.apk but it didn't work...
I really would love a basic ROM of the stranded ROM. No stocks,footprints,Facebook,twitter. Etc
Is there such a thing ?
Not too sure if you can get a Sense ROM without those.
I keep looking in at the ROM development stuff, but to me its all to much tech speak Guess I'm getting to old. And some threads have 12,000+ posts to wade through.
Does it need to be Sense? Have you tried any AOSP ROMs?
Oxygen is a great, clean and fast ROM based on AOSP.
just download the ROM.zip open it with WinRAR and delete .apk of the files that you dont want.

look for the rom editor on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122372
it is a little tool for removing apk's that you don't want and adding some that you do - it's nice for if you don't feel brave enough to start wading through the zip yourself
you can't remove all sense - as then you'd just have AOSP anyway - but you can remove a lot of junk you might not want like teeter, stocks, peep etc.
Hello,
Firstly, I am new to this forum. I watched the "noob video" and try to follow the guidelines.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Y(oung) GT-S5363. The baseband version is S5363XXKK3.
My Carrier is O2 Germany.
Now I found that the original firmware's options are kinda limited. For instance it doesn't have different profiles and there is no setting for vibration feedback while typing.
Now I want to flash my phone with a custom ROM. The ROMs I found are for the GT-S5360, but after a short forum search I discovered that I can use 5360 ROMs.
However, the custom ROMs I found are a little bloated. I don't want the ROM to have as many functions as you can pack into it and change the whole look & feel of the phone.
I want the ROM to use as little RAM and CPU as possible. It is not important to have German as UI language setting, but the Swype keyboard should know German.
Now which ROMs could you recommend to me? If there is no ROM out there which meets my requirements, would you recommend me building my own one?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
check out the multilanguage roms in android dev. section.. u can find the rom u like over there
Cranium is very minimalistic. So I guess Cranium is the one you are looking for. Theres only a handful of Roms available though.
No custom rom atm has Swype as keyboard. Just download Swype beta, it has German language support.

hybrid is also known as a light one. if you want the swype. copy swype.apk in your current rom (in /system/app) to your sd card then copy it to /system/app folder in custom rom's zip folder.
btw, you can remove any bloatware from your rom manually by deleting the apk's via root explorer or any file explorer which could acces system's folder.
Is this possible with Linux as Desktop OS? I use Xubuntu and don't want to install Windows just for messing around with my smartphone^^
to modify the rom's *zip file you can do it in linux or whatever OS as long as you can open the zip file. to manually remove the bloatware from your current stock rom you should root your device and install root explorer.
So, I clicked through a few threads with the alternative firmwares. As far as I got it, both the Cranium and the Hybrid mod change the look & feel drastically. Is there a way to have more settings with the Samsung TouchWiz UI?
you may use another launcher...

More settings? Try Creed's. It has Auto Brightness, Xloud, Swipe to remove notifications in the newest version and what not. Im running on v2.0 though.

Hi, I recommend EmeralD ROM
It contains German Swype, and just some minimal modifications on the stock ROM.
There's all the stock apps in, but you can remove the unneeded apps from the zip (system/app folder) before applying.
I've upgraded to ICS and I was hoping to get the stock emoticons (It's funny, from my searching, most people don't like them and want to get rid of them). They can be found under this directory:
/system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/
There should be 17 files named:
emo_im_xxxxx.png
I just want the PNGs of the stock ICS instead of Sony's, if somebody doesn't mind.

Update:.
I found a handcent plugin that put the stock 3.x smileys on the phone and I replaced the files with my 4.x images. I'd like to replace the framework-res smileys so that I don't have to change the plugin everytime I update. I just don't have much understanding of updating/flashing it in order to not cause a boot loop.
I personally miss my CM9 Rom that had all emoji built in so that I didn't have to use handcent or anything
Hello,
I wish the optics from the stock android (like cm11 oder silm rom) but with all the functions of a TW Rom. Is this possible?
The System UI must be also like Stock Android and the Toggles.

There was ROMs in the past where it was "themed" to look like CM .. though now there is not a single ROM with this.. and if you would want to do such a thing, it require a lot of work .. you would need to edit lots of things like framework and systemui

Hello,
there is a way to make only the very hard to make. Can you give me a simple way to show how I can start?

Basically android General User interface is made of multiple apk files .. Apps in other words.
For example
System/framework/framework-res.apk contains the android design that apps would use it. And how phone looks in general
Systemui.apk is status bar and the pull down and pop ups
Those are the very main ones.
You should edit the apk files and swap the touchwiz images with the one you want..
For other system apps, you would want to edit them too separately (settings, camera, music, etc.)
I don't know much about it .. But that's all I can help with.
