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...

Bootanimation Q:

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

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

[BOOTANIMATION]My custom boot animations (for CM9 and maybe MIUI and AOKP)

Figure some users may want these. I converted my custom Samsung Galaxy S 2 boot animations to the Samsung Galaxy S 3 resolution. In general they look pretty decent and not too distorted.
They work on CM9 and most likely on MIUI and AOKP but haven't tried them yet. They do not work on default Samsung Roms due to the boot animations being qmg
Your welcome to modify or alter the files as you which for your own use or others as long as you post
Also for speed of playback you can make it slower or faster by simply unzip the zip open the txt file with note++ and change the frame rate and then re-zip using the store only option
Just put the file in system/media. I recommend root explorer to put them in the right place.
Sorry for the vid quality using cheap phone to take vids
All files can be downloaded from here just extract the zip from the rar to get the bootanimation.zip file

Eden of the East Boot Animation [SAMSUNG PORT] [Requires Root]

Many of you know that to get ZIP animations working on our phone (SM-G360T1) that we have to go through hell. So instead of going through the hell, I've simply followed a guide and managed to port Eden of the East boot animation to 480x800. Remember this requires root guys!
[INSTRUCTIONS]
1. Download bootanimation.zip and extract files.
2. Move downloaded files to /system/media and overwrite existing files
3. Change permissions to RW ~ R ~ R
And that's it! Congratulations you now have the boot animation.
[ADDITIONAL INFORMATION]
I'd like to thank @bogarty for his awesome guide to make QMG boot animations. I'd also like to let people know at request at may or may not port your boot animation to samsung QMG. Even if it's the wrong screen resolution I can port it.

thanks for sharing this dud but a screenshort would be better if u share it

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??
