I just recently installed a new rom(Bonsai v2.0.1) on my Epic and I noticed that the keyboard "animation" was gone.
I think I was on the EpicExperience rom where when I brought up the keyboard it sort of came up from the bottom of the screen quickly and kind of 3D. Very nice small touch.
But when I went to the Bonsai rom the keyboard just basically appears and dissappears, no smooth animation or anything.
I tried searching but is there a way I can add animations or transition elements to my keyboard? (I am using stock 2.2 keyboard btw) I cant find any info anywhere on it.
Thanks.
EDIT: Nvm I found it. I had to download spare parts and enable "Fancy Input Animations"

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

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...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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?
Ive been looking for a custom keyboard, but with the arrows because i use them. Id like some kind of blue themed keyboard but I cant find one that already made and I have the skin generator but it still doesnt offer arrows. Does anyone know how I can easily do this, or even find one already made because ive had no luck searching so far.

Try Ultra keyboard in the market has all this and more. you can set everything up and even theme it yourself from within the app. even does tracing.
If you use a htc ime mod keyboard you can use the volume keys to change text position
Devs/XDA buddies,
I have tried looking with no success(Forgive me if I have overlooked). I am looking for a custom keyboard (like GB's) with swipe but with the English/Spanish button removed and the swipe tutorial removed. With these two buttons removed it would make an awesome space bar. It seems like I am all the time hitting the period or comma in error. I have tried some other keyboards from the market and they are a little odd for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

not really sure but i use better keyboard when i do use my screen as a keyboard bought it a while ago but dont know if it has swipe functions like swype does. have you tried to look in the settings menu to remove these languages? i dont use swype nor do i really like the default layout but i am sure there is a fix for your discomfort. there are other keyboards in the market that offer some sort of swype-like functions!

Thanks for your help.. I have went through all the settings.. There is a setting that even ask you what you want for your primary language.. If you chose that option it still has the button enabled. Usually to get to the keyboard settings you can long press the English/Spanish button to get to your lang settings..same with the tutorial button. There is a setting to disable it but it still works. hehe.. But yeah i am still in search for a decent keyboard even if i have to sacrifice swype..
gb keyboard is nice although i dont know if it has a swipe function but yeah, np, check out the market and have fun experimenting! If you're like me i just download all that i think might be the one and definitely delete the ones that prove no purpose or have memory leak bugs or any bugs i prefer not to work around!
Go keyboard has swype and a nice sized spacebar. That might suit your needs.

Thanks for your advise.. Been trying to use the Go keyboard for a couple days. The interface is lovely. Tried using the swype and its terrible. I am still looking though for a nice new keyboard..
Hello everyone, long time forum creeper, first time poster
Anyway, I'm running AOKP JB on my Sprint GS3, and I've noticed that, through a program I bought on the market, "GMD Gesture Control" It's actually possible to invoke the GB version of the Recent Application Dialogue, instead of the ICS and forward version which shows screenshots of the open apps in a list. I've never actually liked the new list, as you can see all the icons in the old dialogue, instead of scrolling through a list for what you want to find. I've just always been really annoyed that google sacrificed functionality for style. So what I was wondering was if it was possible to bind this, since it is apparently still active, but dormant in 4.1.1, to the hold down the home button action, as GMD Gesture Control really kills the battery. There had actually been an option for this in the ICS version of AOKP that I had used on my Epic 4G, followed by my Epic 4G touch, and I LOVED it. Unfortunately they have yet to merge this functionality in to their JB builds of AOKP. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it, been looking for a way to do this forever! Thanks!
Hello guys!
New to (posting in) the forum so unfortunately I cant post this in the developers topic
But I'm hoping someone could help answer a few questions for me
I finally got around to rooting/unlocking/rom-ing my Koodo T989D
Decided to give Hellkat a try as my first custom rom, and so far it is a huge improvement over JB
So many little annoyances now solved
However with that there are a few things that have cropped up that I'd like to change if possible
First is probably the most important thing,
having used stock Samsung android for the last few years, I grew very accustomed to being able to swipe left and right over contacts in order to text/call them, probably my favourite feature really
I understand that samsungs dialer/contact app are very intergrated into touchwiz but thought I'd ask if anyone knew a dialer that works well and has this feature that I could try out?
Second is the camera, I know recently that stock google camera apps have gone to a very 'clean' interface
however when I am trying to take a picture randomly, I find it far easier to change useful settings if they are shown constantly overlayed over the image (as opposed to pop-ups)
one thing I was impressed with by samsung was their camera apps customizable settings buttons (allowing choice in where and what to display)
Can someone recommend a camera app that has settings overlays or better yet that allow customizable settings buttons?
Third is more specific to the HellKat rom I think..
I've noticed when texting that if I go back to change a word (spelling check) it comes up with a pop-up with a few suggestions and also the option to add to dictionary
However suggestions also pop up in the suggestion bar above the keyboard
I would prefer to only have the suggestion bar, and to not have the pop-up at all
I have tried turning off the 'Spell checker' option in input settings but then neither show up
Is there a way to turn off the pop-up? or will installing google keyboard get rid of it?
Fourth is that I found when typing a recipient number into a new text, in 'Hellkat dark theme' the font is black on black so that you are unable to see the numbers you are typing
not a huge issue but maybe someone can let the developer know
Fifth is just that I am wondering if there is a 'lockscreen widget' (like the one for the camera) that is a dialer screen to place a call from the lockscreen
Thanks to whoever responds and I understand if you are not able to answer some of these, any help is graciously accepted
Will try to provide any additional info needed
Thanks!

P.S. pic is the spell check pop-up i'd like to remove!

did you update it thru the rom today? it popped up saying there was an update but not sure if i should mess with it since it took alot to get this thing running smooth haha
if you mean connecting to the external and internal sd cards with USB thru the computer then yes thats working fine (just checked)
for now i have just disabled "spell check"
i still get suggestions above keyboard but no longer the pop-up when you select the word
unfortunately you also lose the underlining of misspelled words
added this as a lockscreen widget and it seems to work very well so far
Simple Dialer Widget

No that works fine. But I am talking about using an Otg Adapter to plug a mouse or keyboard or flash drive into the phone . This works on certain custom romss on this phone but wasn't sure if it is an option in hellkat
