Hi everyone. Basically im trying to enable the standard android zoom/slide etc.
window animations. Not the fancy fly/bounce etc. custom window animations.
I know it must just be a simple swapping of a file or two to enable it.
Or maybe a simple code tweak.
Im only asking this again because I have had and seen with my own eyes,
these animations working when I flashed a framework a long time ago and
I cant remember what I changed to make it work, ive swapped over my
anim folder with the anim folder from gingerbread but I still have no animations.
If anyone has any info I would be very grateful because then i can create
my own window animations.
Thanks for reading.
If I understand you correctly, you don't want these animations but the stock Android one. I've attached a zip with the stock Android animation files. You just replace the anim folder in framework-res.apk with this one as explained in the link. In the anim folder are the XMLs that need editing if you want to change something

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...
don't know how to replace the framework-res.apk/res/anim folder.
Ive searched the forums for, how to's on boot animation but there are loads of threads regarding already made boot animations and i couldn't find a tutorial.
Hi all helpfull i want to contruibute by making some, hopfully, awsome bootanimations for the sgs2 international version. some quick questions
i have found this tutorial (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide) but i cant seem to find the mentioned bootanimation zip in /system/media
Q0: is this above mentioned guide still up to date and can i use it to learn me hw to make a boot animation for my sgs2.
Q1: wich app can i use to find it? Astro file manager or do i NEED the payed app root explorer.
Q2: i also had cm 7.1 rom on my sgs2 where i found a custumbootanimation zip in a backup folder. when i tried extrating that on my windows based laptop with winzip and also with 7-zip i could not extract it. i got a message saying it wasnt a archive.WHAT am I doing wrong?
Q3: if i finnally get a working boot animation will it work on other devices such as samsung nexus or even more important will it work on future ics ROM?
what i am working on : http://www.4shared.com/folder/R5t_VY7P/_online.html
Q0, it will work
Q1, just get root explorer already
Q2, no idea I have no problems opening the bootanimation files I come across, possibly this particular file is corrupted?
Q3, its all about the screen resolution, if you have a bootanimation it has a specific resolution, the phone you wanna load it on will require that resolution or greater. If greater then it just won't fill the screen.
you need to find a rom which supports a modded bootup animation..
otherwise there will only be a bootanimation.qmg..
you cannot edit that as it is somekind of proprietary video format..
You probably wont be able on stock ROMS.. unless stated in forum

it is definatly not corrupted because my cm 7.1 boot animation works perfectly.
so ifeel like maybve i am going to pay for root explorer and then find out i have an different problem to prevent me from making and testing custom boot animations

I managed to make a really nice boot up animation incorporating SSF4 with the the fei long character. ( i know i should ask for permission first at capcom side so i cant upload it as of yet, but the animated version looks sweet.)
Q:thing is my pgn images are to large in file size. I took the custom rom CM 7.1 boot animation as a compare my work. those png have a file size of not even 2KB mine are roughly 80KB. i think i should be able to convert it with IrfranView to make it go from 24-bit to 8-bit , and hopefully lose loads of file size. But i can seem to get it to work. So what is the max size for .PNG images used for startup animations.
Thank you in advance

Hey guys,
I found this really nice pull down menu here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26035085&postcount=713
Except with this mod, I cannot add it onto my XWLP8 because it was made for XWLP9.
I've figured out how to move the battery icons over (by extracting a bit and looking thru then using the battery mod tool). I just would like to get pretty much the whole thing over including the transparent background and the black look of it.
What would be the best way of going about this? Or would it be better for me to just upload by SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk to let you guys put it together?
Well, I've been trying and trying to get it working. I have very little experience with android hacking, but I went into the Battery mod zip that i flashed on before and realised there was a MORPH folder within - i assumed whatever was in the folder would morph with the original system files. I chucked the files from the XWLP9 mod into the Morph folder in the places, and zipped it up again - I actually named the zip lol because I thought it would just stuff up my secondary boot i use for testing this stuff, and it actually worked. It looks like its working for most areas of the OS. Although I'm not too sure yet...
I want to make a bootanimation but i dont know how to do, does somebody have a howto to make a bootanimation?

I am happy to hear of people wanting to learn hints for themselves so I am happy to pass on the knowledge.
First you must be aware of what kind of bootanimation style we have for stock Samsung, which is qmg style.
Now the thing with qmg is that the images inside the file aren't easily viewable or editable.
So the first thing I do is convert my system to read both zip and qmg files. I have created a mod that will look for a zip and use that and if the zip isn't there the system will revert to using a qmg style bootanimation.
There are tutorials for making qmg style Animations around, but personally I find that method a little more difficult as well as it limits the amount of frames you can use.
So personally I always make zip style Animations
There are probably some guides around for making zip styles as well, but I put together a quick and easy guide here
Once you finish making you zip style animation, you will need to use my mod to allow your system for zip bootanimations.
Here is the link, just be aware that there is a version for Lollipop and MM. Select appropriate version for you
Good luck
Thank you verry much for the howto . I wil go mess around with it??
