No, it's not really possible. The only way it would work is if someone completely ported over an HTC ROM which would be extremely hard on a Samsung phone.

Thanks for the info. But what makes it so complicated? Are the animations do-able?

Not sure about the trans animations. Qazimia512 has a nice transition animation in his ics theme though. Also if you like the Widgets there a several onvthe market that mimic them. Like android pro Widgets for the scrollable Facebook and twitter Widgets.

HTC sense is closed source. The animations are possible though. I'm guessing you want the carousel effect?

Like said above, they don't have their source open for us to builds from. Plus, the libs are a lot different. When you ask about the animations, are you talking the transition animations or the carousel animations from the launcher? Either way, you can get close to them with various apps on the market. Some launchers have the carousel effect and for the transition animations you can get 'Anim Mod' from the market and use the blur animations. I'm pretty sure its close to the same. I hope this helped with your question, let me know if I'm way off lol.

That helped a lot but carousel effect is there anyway to get it with the stock launcher because other launcher doesn't the stock calender widget .and that one is really useful to me. I would also like the 3d box animation from the moto blur.

[Q] Get ICS animations back on Jelly Bean?

Please, I hate the new animations in Jelly Bean, can someone make a flashable file to install ICS animations in it? And another one to revert it in case of any problems? And is there a way to get the ring back on JB's lockscreen? I'm really not diggin' those sparks.

You can turn off the animations in developer options

Obviously not what he means... I would also like something like this.

Are you referring to how apps open up from their icons?

You can use Widget Locker if you don't like the jb lock screen and it has an ICS lock

Exactly.
As a temporary fix I'm using Nova Launcher, because it has that option. The only problem is that it isn't as smooth as the stock launcher.

Rotation tweak on 4.2 is not working? edit: found the reason why..

Hey!
So I wanted to add the rotation tweak to build.prop which works well on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but not on 4.2:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
and I also tried lock rotation: ro.lock.func=rotatelock and even that does not work!
I don't want to use any custom launchers so what to do to get rotation working? Is there modified stock launcher with rotation enabled yet??
Edit: It's disabled so if want to enable it then launcher2.apk have to be decompiled and then from /res/values/ bools.xml need mdifying launcher rotation text .."=false" to "true" .....

I too am not able to get rotation working with build prop edits. Anyone else have any ideas?

Did you save the build.prop? I've done it and it works fine.

There's an alternate launcher you can get at the themes and apps section for the galaxy nexus. It has landscape and a different grid if you want.

Not working for me either on Muzzy's 4.2. Its saving as the line is still there in the prop after reboot just not rotating anymore
** found that launcher zip gonna flash that now and give that a try

I'm curious. What rotation tweak are you guys referring to? Your default launcher rotates right? Mine does. So does the lock screen.
EDIT: I didn't realize I was in the gnex forum. I'm on 4.1 still on mine still. But my stock n7 is on 4.2 and rotation works fine.

this is probably because the auto-rotation in the notification shade changed in. If you noticed on the Nexus 7 the auto-rotation toggle moved from besides the date on the notification shade to being one of the tiles on the quick settings panel.

I've wrote: I don't like custom launchers! Not even modified with the rows stock launcher!
Stock launcher with rotation is good but not with any other modifacations which makes it to look like older than 4.0 Android version..
CM10 trebuchet launcher would be ok too but it'snot working on JB 4.2 and JB launchers (4.1.2) from play store are laggy and buggy on 4.2 and not working well.
I've made research that how to edit stock launcher to enable rotation and nowhere is guides for it..

Why don't you try Nova launcher or Apex launcher or ADW launcher or go launcher? My favorite is Nova. I even bought the prime version because it is so awesome.

WHY THE HECK everybody asks why don't you use Nova launcher or Apex launcher...?????
DO YOU UNDERSTAND I wan't stock launcher and not custom launcher with limited features on "FREE VERSION"

I also do not want a custom launcher. If I have to choose between stock launcher with no rotate vs. a custom launcher I choose the limited stock launcher.
I do miss the build.prop hack on 4.1.2 but I can't get it to work on 4.2 either.

I use Widgetsoid with a toggle to lock the rotation, works well for me.

I am not talking about enabling and disabling auto rotation in the phone settings. I'm talking about getting the home screens to rotate with the stock launcher.

I have tried a lot as well, changing build.prop, creating default.prop etc... but none helped. I only solution I found to fix this is by using "Ultimate Rotation Control" app. It works perfect and not just rotates the home screen and apps of the stock launcher, it also rotates the lock screen.
The best solution so far for me.

I know now why the tweaks does not enable rotation..
it's disabled and it can be enabled by decompiling it and then going to /res/values/ and then have to open bools.xml and change rotation bla bla bla=false to true
then rotation works even without tweaks on build.prop if I remember but somehow the apk decompilers cannot recompile Jelly Bean 4.2 apps on my PCs
(Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04.4)
luckily in Themes and apps section there is stock AOSP launcher with rotation enabled and it works on OTA/Factory ROMs..
but I have modified Jelly Bean 4.2 on my nexus so I have myself try to modify the launcher...

Do you have a copy of this ROM with the modification?

Nope. I have OTA 4.2.1 takju ROM but it's just stock with rooted, busybox, flash player, etc. thread. But I have thread of jelly bean 4.2.x launcher with rotation which can be flashed via cwm. Now in using Motorola theme and its launcher that I modified to get rotation to work.

Use apex launcher.
Go to apex setting>Behaviour settings>Animations> ICS

I am using apex and switched to the ICS animation, just wondering will this affect the implementation of project butter? Cause I thought the improvements are only affecting the Jelly Bean animation

Actually, i have Apex Launcher, and i tried setting animations to ICS. Problem is, that they are not real ICS animations.
Also, i have tried Nova Launcher. It has real ICS animations, but it has no app sorting in drawer by installation date.

[Q] CM10 No transition effects?

Hello,
I've recently updated from cm9 to cm10 and noticed a bunch of options are missing from the launcher, like the transition effects for homescreens and drawer? Are they officially removed?? I still love the cm roms

Trebuchet (the launcher) is updated to 0.2 in CM10; but I don't see the Transition option in CM9 either... Well IDK, use Nova Launcher (or Apex/Holo if you'd like)

I would assume hey will add in the "extra" effects once the core functions and features are completed. It is very impressive on what the team has accomplished so far!
