Can anybody tell me how to add scroll/transition effects on my phone? i looked everywhere online and through these forums. Is it even possible? I'm on a GPE rom, rooted and s-off.
A good launcher like Nova will have all sorts of effects like that

Yeah I'm aware of that, any way of just installing it without launchers(using my stock one?) should of said that in the OP.

I'm looking for the most basic stock 2.2 rom available. I mean really stock Android, no touchWiz or customizations. Removal of Sprint bloatware would be great of course. This is for a Samsung Epic currently running froyo right out of the box. This is for a totally blind user running a screen reader from the Google Eyes Free Project. All of the TouchWiz stuff and customizations make the screen reader perform poorly and it's especially bad with froyo 2.2 due to the TouchWiz stuff.
I'd be grateful if anyone can point me to a rom that would fit the bill. Hopefully, such a thing exists. Thanks for any responses.
Cyanogenmod 7 is the closest to AOSP you can get, but it does have some features not working (yet).
I know its not exactly what you are asking for but I have an idea that is pretty simple to do but you don't have t flash another rom.
I suggest launcher pro from the app market. To all you adw fans out there, I've tried that too but accidentally messed up things in the dock and it wasn't fun fixing them. Anyways, launcher pro could be used as your home replacement. I don't know your level of knowledge so I will explain it. Once it finishes downloading, hit the home key on the bottom four and select as default application then select launcher pro. Now hit menu then settings then general and there's a thing to hide apps you don't want showing in the drawer. Next go into appearance and select dock style for froyo or froyo wide. That is pretty much it. There are a few settings that can be tweaked to turn off the special effects and maximise the drawer's speed in regards to scrolling.
That is my suggestion because it is stable and not necessary to start flashing roms and converting the phone's default file system to ext4, which from my experience was opening a can of worms.
I havent used it, but I believe you're looking for this:

It's not stock, it just is themed to look like it.
Texted while driving
Why not just root the phone and use root explorer and take out the touch wiz launcher in the stock rom from the system/app directory.
Here is a post here that shows you all the prgrams that you can safely remove:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142&highlight=safe+apps+remove
Then if you want stock, you can't be more stock than this. Maybe this can help you get to what you want.
I appreciate the responses. Someone suggested simply replacing TW Launcher but that isn't really the issue. Apparently TouchWiz changes more than just the launcher. Some of the apps that don't seem to be really stock Android are messaging, contacts and calendar. TouchWiz also seems to do some other stuff under the hood that gets in the way. Perhaps rooting as someone else suggested and removing the problem apps and replacing them with the stock Android ones might do the trick. Surely there has to be a bare bones rom out there but maybe not for the epic.
I have heard great things about Cyanigen but unfortunately it isn't ready yet.
Syndicaterom Frozen is very barebones and quick. It is the cleanest stable rom.

Thanks for the suggestion, SyndicateRom Frozen looks interesting. May try that one first.

2nd on srf.
Saying that you were looking for a stock rom is throwing everyone off (or at least me). Stock means you want it like it came factory from Sprint, with all the bloat and garbage attached.

Sorry, didn't mean to throw anyone off. By stock what I mean is Android stock, not Samsung stock. Plain vanilla like you might find on a Nexus 1. No bloatware, no customized UI like TouchWiz. Hope that clarifies it. Thanks.

The term for plain vanilla is AOSP, the ONLY AOSP Rom for the Epic is Cyanogenmod.

063_XOBX,
Thanks for the correct term. I see now what I'm looking for is Android Open Source Project (ASOP). It looks like CyanigenMod is the only way to go. I wish it was finished. The plan is to work on it this saturday so we may wind up trying Syndicate Mod Frozen to see how that goes and eventually flash CyanigenMod. I'm really anxious for Cyanigen to be completed. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Not sure if anyone has the same problem but i can't seem to figuire this one out.
I apologise if this has been talked about before, But have searched extensively without luck.
The problem is that when i go to change the App drawer Icon effect, The option is completely shaded out and I'm not allowed to pick one.
I reinstalled it but that didn't change anything.
Anyone know of this issue and have a solution!
Thanks in advance!
Im using GO Launcher EX and it works fine for me.
What effect is it currently stuck on?
Did the launcher come with a Custom ROM? or have you installed it yourself on a standard ROM?

Installed it myself but I'm using a custom rom aswell(VillainRom 2.4.2) and it's not just stuck on the default one.
Not sure why Im not able to pick a different one.
Heh - I had this problem myself. It only works with horizontal scrolling

Oh my god, Can't believe that was it, You would think they would have a note saying that.
Thanks for the help. Working perfectly now!

No worries mate. I felt a bit of a numpty when I realised what the problem was, after asking on here too
Can I pull launcher2.apk and tweak it? Or is this something that I need source for?
You might be able in this ROM (as it's deodexed though it would depend on what you're trying to tweak) but otherwise, I doubt you'd really be able to do much without the source.
Eventually, I would like to try and figure out enabling homescreen rotation. Think that's something I could do with the deodexed one?
Nova
I remember Apex having that and I used to have Apex. Nova is pretty similar and not sure if it has that.
However, Nova works with Jelly Bean, I am using the ROM that the previous poster put up above.
You can try that
Wasn't really trying to use another launcher. Just trying to see if I can do it, learn a bit while I'm at it.
I would like to know that also, cause im trying to remove google search bar from stock launcher..

That I don't think is a odex/de-odexed problem and will most likely require the source for the launcher.

This mod for the stock launcher will do the trick for you
To the OP, there are a lot of mods around for you to change things other than that its just Nova and the other launchers

I'd like to be able to scroll wallpapers when switching from screen to screen but, as most of you have noticed, this isn't available on the TouchWiz launcher (the launcher used on our SGS3s).
Has anyone found a way of getting around this like we used to be able to do in previous Android versions? I really like being able to see the full picture and scroll it rather than seeing it every screen from screen to screen.
If your rooted flash FreeGs3 rom. It give you the option choosing the wall paper scrolling.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

Does it change the launcher to that of a third-party or is it still TouchWiz? I'd kind of like to keep TouchWiz if possible. I have been looking for some new ROMs, so thank you for the heads up on that one.

Your welcome check out his rom I think you going love it. Make sure you use twrp recovery better than cwm

Thanks guys. I'll give it a try immediately.
EDIT: There's one problem...where can I find a version and tutorial on how to install TWRP recovery for my device? I can only find links sending me to places that flash only for the Galaxy Nexus or other carriers and it says that they will only work with those models.

How To........
Thank you all very much. I successfully got TWRP flashed to my recovery and am running FreeGs3 ROM! And it works! Thank you all very much.
anyone know? i've flipped through most of the rom thread, didn't find anything. long-press, short-press, settings, etc.. looks like most people want to add more, nor reduce the existing 5, but i only need 3 (maybe even 1). i saw some people talking about installing "tweaks" that could do it, just wondering if it can do it natively without any add-ons.
thanks in advance!
