Android 2.1 animations on Hero ?

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...

[REQ] It's possible port Fascinate lockscreen?

It's possible port Fascinate lockscreen? It's better than i9000 lockscreen
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797431

Probably... you can try to replace your /system/framework/android.policy.odex with the fascinate one...
I might be wrong but as far as i know this file contain the lockscreen

Speaking of the fascinate, One thing I like about the fascinate is that the stupid numbers at the top (the ones that represent the home screens) only appear at certain times.

Go to the 7 minute mark and you will see what I mean. The numbers will pop up then go away.

you cannot replace an odex.. odex are encrypted for a specific firmware. they also are extensions of an apk. you need both.. you would need to de-odex and then replace the deodexed file.

encrypted
I though they were just byte-optimized for a particular phone so upon boot it doesn't need to create .dex's and just loads the .dex from the odex directly (in turn giving u a faster boot, at the sacrifice of customization).

[Theme][2.3.3][28/Apr/11][JVB] AOSP-gingerbread

JVH, JVO and JVP themes can be found in this thread!
I was using ock's gingerbread theme for JVK and really liked versions 1-2. I'm not really interested in "all in one" themes and prefer things to be a bit more modular.
This is a "from scratch" theme, decompiled with apkmanager with graphics from AOSP source.
Also likely to only work with deodexed roms I would assume.
What this does:
* Changes the images in framework-res and SystemUI, these include the window frame shape, status bars and various other graphics.
* Changes a few text colours to properly match the new graphics.
* For the moment, has AOSP stock battery mod. (not percentages).
What this will never do:
* Change your lockscreen.
* Add more lockscreens.
* Have the extended power menu. (iirc these are "unsafe" reboots anyway)
* Include the overscroll glow.
* Include the CRT off animation.
If you're after these features I recommend popping over to ock's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010324
But, but, but, I really like the overglow effect!
dhiru1602's stand alone mod should work with these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935&highlight=overscroll+glow
TODO:
- Media scanner's entry in the notification dropdown is coloured wrong. (part of TW?)
- Recolour the data connection icon on the power menu.
- Odd browser combo box size error.
- Adjust xml based colours to match AOSP.
Screenshots
Always useful to have a backup when trying new themes, so there's an "uninstall" which will replace the files back to stock.
CWM3 Compatible Installs:
Main theme:
* Install theme - aosp-jvb-vX.Xs.zip
* Samsung stock JVB theme - stock-jvbs.zip
Lockscreen:
* Install AOSP lock - aosp-lock-jvb-s.zip

At present I'm not intending to skin the dialler or contacts. More or less only core system related.

It couldn't hurt to give it a shot just replacing them. Just backup your current ones.
Otherwise search this forum for skins of dialler and contacts.

If you're on JVK you probably shouldn't flash this. I believe they are a little different. (you may see minor graphic bugs, etc). If you pop over to ock's thread I believe v1-v2 were for JVK.

"E:signature verification failed"...any ideas?

in fact, i only want to make the signal and wi-fi bars when avalable green instead of the stock light grey.

@sargorn great job with this AOSP theme.. love it. Right now, I cant use the files you provided because I'm using a modded framework-res.apk which includes chinese. Im trying to get your look though. So far, I made the status bar black, but cant seem to get it right. Is it possible if I give you my framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, you can mod it for me? Sorry to ask you such a big request...thanks

You're probably using the stock kernel? You need to flash a custom gingerbread kernel and/or custom rom (basically you need CWM recovery) This theme is only for deodexed roms, so if you just flashed stock via kies or otherwise this probably won't work.
For a deodexed stock rom check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Or you can try a custom rom. Check the Development forum for those.

If you just want a minor change, can I recommend the UOT Kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
It's fairly easy to use (again, you need a deodexed rom for this), grab the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ from your phone and the SystemUI.apk from /system/app/.
Choose whichever bits you want, then upload those two files and it will generate an update you can flash with CWM.
I think everything except the Boot animation should work on the galaxy s.

I can give it a shot, but without being able to correctly test it, it might be a bit hit and miss.
It's actually not so difficult to do yourself. There is a very good tutorial in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
For the images required I grabbed them from android aosp source, or you could simply decompile my framework-res with apk manager.

Tweaking a few things to match the AOSP xml, few colours, sizes, etc.
Will run it tomorrow on my phone and see if I find any issue then upload it if it's ok.

No problems with it, 1.5 is uploaded. Some new screenshots too!

sargorn, you somehow read mi mind with this them. I'm playing with framework pieces for weeks now trying to find the stock gingerbread look for SGS .
Your theme is looking excellent from all points of view.
Anyway ... please tell me what you did in order to fix the combo box bug in browser .. thanks.

[Q] Quick Settings edit

hi,
quick question: how to edit the quick settings in the drop-down menu (notification tray) in Gingerbread Sense ROMs ? (im using insertcoin)

i want to know ! how to do ?

Maybe this Thread helps you

well unfortunatetly no answer there, just an idea to decompile an .apk and suit it to my needs.
still, anyone ?

Its so simple in MIUI Rom... their is an option in settings/Personal/ Custom Status Bar..
Incase you desperately want the setting, you can try MIUI ;-)

Well it's a difference if you did the thing yourself or if you want to change a HTC based feature without big hacks. I think it's pretty much impossible.
But if there is a solution, let me know - 2G/3G is missing

it is not impossible, in stock you get only a few quick settings, in custom roms (rcmixs, insertcoin) devs extended it - i want to know how, so i can remove the unneeded shortcuts.

robocik: not that easy, you should take a modded systemui.apk and a stock one, decode both with apktool and diff them, that way you will see how it is maked and will be easier for you to modify it.
this is the method, have not tried it yet though.
if any of you intrested guys tries to do this, i really apprecieate your feedback here thx.
and big thanks to robo, not only for all the amazing job he is doing for our community, but also for responding to my Q

I have rooted Desire Z with Virtuous Sence v2 Rom.
Go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071118
and download Extra QuickSettings 0.2
http://www.multiupload.com/W7GXFQJN6R
Extract SystemUI.apk from zip file.
I used DroidExplorer to replace original : system/app/SystemUI.apk
with the downloaded one and have ne quick settings menu.

Is there any way to change "quick settings" with rooting?

If by "change" you mean "add/remove features in the settings list", yes, there is. Check out this thread.

[Q] UOT Kitchen - System.apk/Framework.apk

So, I forgot to backup my system & framework apk's before I uploaded them into the kitchen and made a new theme. *I know, shame on me*.
Is there a default/stock for those or are they created based of individual phone information?
What i'm asking is, do I need to re-install the rom to get those back or can I just pull them from above said stock apk's?
Android: 2.3.5
Rom:Cm7(08012011)
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!!
Thanks-

i'm confused. are you saying you dont like your theme and want to go back to stock or you want you want to update to the next nightly but dont want to do the kitchen every time?

I'm not reaaal familiar with the kitchen stuff, I know more than enough to get myself in trouble (changing radio's, roms, etc) but haven't completely grasped the themes yet.
It SEEMS like a couple of things are not changing even if I create a completely new theme (The battery icon, the lockscreen buttons and something else I forget)
My thinking is, there's a generic theme(s) for the rom and when you create a get a new one, it updates certain aspects of it.
If I create a new theme in kitchen and only change the battery, wouldn't all of the other settings revert to the "default" theme?
On a completely different note-
What's the difference between ADW themes and Themechoose themes?

Ah. ok. so what ever you change in the kitchen it will change in the apk. it wont touch the rest of the apk. its kinda like an online apktool. it unpackages it changes the png's you want and then packages it up again using the resources from the apk you submitted. ADW themes are for the ADW launcher so it only themes the home screens. but Themechooser themes the whole phone, or as much as the developer of themechooser allowed it to do.

Great! Thanks
