Similar to the fade out effect apparently coming to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, we've cooked up something short and sweet in our own labs today. For lack of a better name, it's a screen fade out animation for your Windows Mobile device, and has been dubbed turnOffAnimation.
It's been tested on our HTC HD mini, and seems to perform fine. Watch the video above for a nice look, or download it here. Leave your feedback in the XDA Developers thread here.
Instructions
Copy the cab file to your device, and install it. If wanted, set one of your hardware buttons to the program. Note that this will not replace your power button's action, so it should be fairly safe.
Please do not direct link to the CAB file, link to this page instead:

funny stuff indeed, thx
brilliant idea, work on my HD2..

Hello guys
is there a possibility to make a programm to lock a screen just as you would do on your PC after pressing win+L?
You know, there would be an (customizable) icon in the middle of the screen with currently logged in user and you would tap the icon a nd type in some password....or some gesture like circle or triangle or whatever...
There could also be a possibility to change backgrounds (just like you had a program for win Logon Loader)...
What do you think?
I personally don't like Slide to unlock since I am used to it from my ipod touch - but I don't like having it on blackstone...kinda sucks...
apple is apple htc is htc!
So what do you XdaLords think of such a lockscreen?
Thanks
hi, you know, if you press long the "shut conversation" button, then it locks the screen. it's the original lock, doesn't look so nice, but it's very efficient.. otherwise, the lock idea with the gesture is quite good, something like in winterface.. don't know, perhaps someone knows something similar greets^^
I dont have blacsktone yet...
I just had an idea based on communication here in the forums
ooooo i am so lookig forward to have one...hurray
I use sensorlock. You just spin the pone clockwise and it locks using g-sensor. Anticlockwise unlocks it.
stunning
Guys, this program is simply stunning !!!!!!
why dont HTC release this with the phone in the first place!!!!
Hi everyone....
I´m currently using Duttys ROM 2.6 (love it!!) with my Touch HD. The New HTC Album application ist really great and fast but features only one zoom-Option by double tapping on the Display...
This is because HTC integrated a special Zoom-Bar to zoom Pictures, website etc with their new devices (works great on on the Diamond 2 by the way...)
Since the Touch HD does not have real HardwareButtons but virtual buttons I´m wondering if it´s possible to turn these buttons into a kind of zoom bar, since the whole area below the display seems to be touch-sensitive...
I´ve used a similar software with my Touch Diamond (gscroll), so I´m wondering if there´s a way to do something like that with the Touch HD...
Best regards from Germany...
Hey m8 just make a circle around that portion of the picture you want to zoom (cw to zoom or ccw to unzoom) its simple. No need for wheels
he is talking about the new version. in the new htc album version there is only one fixed zoom available. circles dont work anymore, because you instantly move the picture. the helps tells about a zoombar to use, but there is no displayed. i have no clue how to zoom in more than only this standard zoom
+1 for this! I agree an onscreen zoom bar similar to opera 9.5 woud be useful;-)
...not good...
I the new album really faster then the old one... If NOT - use the old album... I post you the EXE file.
A good idea is to use a "slide over the 4 buttons" on the front of our HD to simulate a zoom in/zoom out effect.
I think there will be soon a solution for this. There must be a solution, because if not: then we, old HD 1 users, will not be able to use the new HTC applications
I dont want to change to the old Album since the new one is definetly faster when switching between Pictures and the Picture panning feature when zoomed is really good... I´d just love to be able to zoom a little better
So I´ll keep reading the Post to get all the fancy new Stuff for my HD
Hey Animaster,
,can you please post the NEW Album exe
You convinced me AND I think I cna do something about the zooming problem (not sure now... but maybe...)
look in the android topic, they where able to map 5 buttons to the bottom bar (if i rember corectly) maybe that can give you a starting point

There is noone (!!!) who could remap the HOME button on the bottom bar of our Touch HD, and I'm sure i cannot either...(yet )
I thought about something simpler! When the active (front) process is named HTCAlbum.exe or OperaL.exe I can map the Volume UP and Volume DOWN buttons to the ZOOM routine! This is pretty simple to do, but will be ok
so please post the new ALBUM EXE

ok friend . I say that I think focusing on create an onscreen zoom slider like opera for new htc album is more easier to try to make an app that use mapping of hardware keys to zoom in htc album like hd2
. do you see now ?
Y don try out the resco photo manager v7?
It has the zoom bar and autorotate function as well.
I searched the whole forum and have not found a similar thread, so I start to doubt if just I have this question...
My question is:
Android has built-in windows opening and closing zoom animation. When I got my Desire I found it doesn't have the zoom animation. OK, let's say the HTC Sense UI does not go this way. Today I wiped all the data and flashed an OpenDesire ROM. This time the zoom animation is there when I tap to launch an app, but the closing zoom animation is still missing when I press HOME or BACK to go back to home screen... There should be a zoom out animation, am I correct? What I see is that it just flash back to home screen directly, no animation...
Anyone has some idea on this issue? Thx.
Use Spare Parts to set the Window animations, transition animations and even the speed of those animations.
I installed Spare Parts from the market. It seems that I can only set the animation speed, but no switch to turn on/off the zooming animation...
As you know i have the same query ... the reason that opendesire has the zoom effect is because it uses LauncherPro - you can also download it for the other roms... that makes the apps zoom when open / closed... but unfortunatly it doesn't support the htc widgets which is y i do not use it
Kris
I don't think OpenDesire uses LauncherPro, Adam says OpenDesire is compiled purely from Android source code, and all 3rd party apps used in the ROM are exciplitly listed. The effect is built-in with Android, you can confirm it by trying the emulator in SDK.
havent actually looked @ open desire ... but the screenshot looked like it was using it... guess the user could have installed it after tho

Ok perhaps you are correct, I think opebdesire just used a subset of LauncherPro to build the stock launcher. Anyway I installed LauncherPro and found it even faster than the stock one, of course the animations are there as I expected...

Anyone found a way to get these animations on sense?
Why in the world would HTC disable these animations, and not even give us the option to enable it? It's really annoying!
I remember (but not clearly) HTC Hero has this animation built in with Sense, any idea?
Hi,
To check the time, I don't like having to switch on the screen with the power button, setting off the weather animation on Sense lockscreen. It's a bit awkward and uses battery unnecessarily.
So, my request to any dev is this;
Is it possible to keep the portion of the screen where the small clock is (in the top right) on all the time? Even when the rest of the screen is off, the clock stays visible ALL the time.
Not sure if it would create problems with battery usage, screen burn?
Any thoughts?
Change it to clock. Very simple.

From what i understand, you want the screen to be on all the times but partially (just the top rlght). I think that's technically impossible.
Download "NoLed" by madmack from the market. It's an excellent app and has exactly what you are looking for plus a lot of other cool stuff.

+1, you hit the nail on the head. I use this on my Sgs2, and it works well.
Regards
I'm quite sure that this will use more battery than turning the screen on once in a while for a few seconds
Wrong section and its more of a [Q] than a [REQ]
NoLed is a really good app, but it doesn't do what i'm requesting. When NoLed is active, if you look at the screen at the correct angle, you can see that the whole screen is on. Thank you tho
I'm trying to establish if it's possible to make only the pixels covering the clock area (in the notification bar) to stay on. This way the clock is always visible, and not much battery is drained(????)
That would only work on AMOLED screens.

That would only be beneficial to those who have AMOLED screens.
I am pretty sure the HTC Ace has a 480*800 LCD, and I don't think it is possible to shut down different areas of the screen without hardware mods.

ok, guess it ain't happening then....
maybe try using the desk clock, to my knowledge you use that and then u can press the powerbutton but all u see is the time and whatever else u set
hello there,
i've got HTC one x about 2 days ago, i think it's a v. good phone but now i have a problem
the phone had a very cool cube animation when you move between tabs as fingers are moved across the tabs ... for example in apps like "phone" you have (phone - people - favorite .. etc)... i used to have a cube animation while moving between those tabs ...
once i updated the software (which i didnt know it would change the phone like that), this animation is completely gone and it just shows a black box with the name of the tab on it ... how can i bring this animation back ?
one other thing, scrolling the home screen now goes forever, i mean when you scroll to the very last screen on the right, it jumps after that to the screen on the far left and goes looping like that .... how can i disable that feature and make it as it was
hope my questions are quite clear ...
Thanks
For cube animation: with the latest relase of android and htc sense, cube animation was off, but if you want, you can flash ViperX because the dev have added this option
For second question: Do you talk about infinite scrolling?
If yes, you can disable it, always, with ViperX rom.
With stock rom you can't disable infinite scrolling and activate cube animation
Flash a custom Rom matey
