Sense animations vs AOSP animations - HTC One X

So lately i have been changing roms very frequently and one thing i noticed was that sense animations are aweful.Every thing is jittery in comparison to AOSP animations.For example i just installed a miui rom based on ics build 2.17 and the smoothness of the animations just give a more professional look.If you want to find out what i'm talking about, open up whatsapp(in a sense rom) if you have it,open a conversation and then tap the bottom bar to open keyboard.After that press the home button.You will see a jittery animation before you are returned to the home screen.
I don't know if anyone else is annoyed by it but if someone is i propose we set out to find a solution.I am not that experienced but i am willing to learn if somebody can point me in the right direction.

Questions about Sense (HD) UI and Themes!

Hi there.
There are a few niggles i have with Sense (HD)!
One of them is the fading animations - On a non-sense rom, the toast notifications and the menu you get (when you press, uh, menu), fade in very smoothly. In sense, the same notifications and menus kind of 'appear' halfway and then fade in the rest. It looks a little jumpy. Is it possible to alter this?
Also, the 'themes' that you can download through sense, where do get get downloaded to? I want to make a frankentheme with parts of them.
Thanks!
Josh.

[Q] Epic MTD Lockscreen Animation

Hi, I didn't know whether to ask this here or in the development thread, I do not have 10 posts yet so i guess here.
I'm on epic mtd cm7, and was wondering if anyone knew how to disable the animation that happens when you unlock the phone. It just kinda zooms in on the lock or whatever is it. It seems to lag a lot on this part and disabling window animations did not help.
Also, is the lockscreen unlock button going to be themed? It looks a little weird with everything themed blue or green except for that...
Thank you

[REQ]Help centering TouchWiz Launcher's all apps icon

I know everyone has their own preferences and reasons for using a particular launcher, but I love the smoothness of the stock launcher and have modded mine enough that to me it is just as good as any other launcher. My only issue now is the placement of the all apps icon. I've been working for about a week and a half trying to find the code that forces the icon to the far right and have come so close to pinning it down but still haven't found a solution. I know that it could easily be fixed in the ICS seclauncher, but the JB one seems to use a completely different method of putting that icon in a foreign layout position.
I've been reading the actual java code in eclipse on one screen, and making my smali edits on another. Logcatting has been the most help, but now I'm totally stumped. If anyone else has attempted this, please share any info you might have.

Implementing extra features

Hello,
First of all i would like to thank the developers of the roms mentioned in this post for their work, all three roms are awesome and i do not mean to offend anybody by this post.
I have an idea to combine three of my favorite roms, as every one of them has something that the other two are missing, my question to the community is : how to do it?
All these roms run on android 4.0.4 so i hope that it is doable
Namely I would like to have
-camera and especially camcoder functionality from andromeda, <since camcoders are usually broken in most roms i suppose this one will be too difficult to do>
-overall look, especially the low profile cancel/confirm buttons and status bar with drop down menu and settings widget from andromeda,
-automatic brightness control from aokp ics milestone v6(the one where you can adjust your own settings for each lux value),
-trackpad2wake from nikez lente ics
-long press back to kill app
I would like to implement these features into milestone or nikez lente rom since they are more stable than andromeda.
I do not need a complete solution just some pointers on where to look for files responsible for these features and how to apply them into the rom zip file so that it would all work together.

[Q] Lockscreen modding Question Thread (smali m10,...)

Hi,
I'm looking to make some changes on the Sense Lockscreen. My only problem is, that i never made this before. So i need some help from you to get it working.
First of all i know a bit of programing, so i'm not a 100% noob. I know c, c++, matlab, assambler.
I looked at the smali code at the idlebase.apk. For me it looks a bit like assambler. When i tryed to remove the ring bouncing the whole lockscreen had still all weather animations, but doesn't react on touch (removed my changes again)
What i'm looking for is:
1. change unlockposition from the shortcuts,
2. change the moving direction from the shortcuts,
3. make the weatherbackground taking the image from homescreen (like stock lockscreen),
4. remove the moving clock when touching somewhere at screen.
I found some functions like unlock(), or unlock(I). But there are only variables v1 p1, v2 p2,...
So where are the positions declared??
I really hope some devs are willing to share their experience with me.
