I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

Actually i have the easier way to apply the animation but it will only work on CyanogenMod... I call this easy patcher by Achep.... For Samsung Stock ROM (Rooted!), please give me ur framework-res.apk as i can work something for the intergers.xml...

Use it on the PC!
1. Put ur framework-res.apk to res/framework
2. When ur ready, press Patcher.exe
3. Then press Enter
4. Once done patching, put the patchers (flashable zip) to ur phone and flash it!
Remember this is only for the CyanogenMod 7 or other stock AOSP, for Stock ROMs, please pm me the framework-res.apk...

if you just want to change icon or the picture, the easiest way is by open the apk file via 7zip then copy the files into it. its also work if you change some of the script. just put the scipt back to folder. I've used this method to modify systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. it works fine for me.

Download apktool by iBotpeaches. Get the aapt for windows. Extract both the things in the same folder. Get framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in /system/framework and place it in this folder. Now shift+right click in that folder and open cmd there. Type - apktool if framework-res.apk nozomi
Then type - apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk nozomi
Now place settings.apk in that same folder and type - apktool d -f -t nozomi Settings.apk
Then make any changes that you want to do and type - apktool b Settings
Collect your new apk in Settings/dist. Then open your original settings.apk with winrar and also open your new apk with winter. Copy the Meta-inf folder from old to new and chose store as compression method. Enjoy!

Ok. I can trying doing it, if you help me with something else. I will give you an Settings.apk. You gonna decompile it and look at every .xml file for the WhiteMagic line. When you find it, I will try to add it and help ya.
Here is it: Decompile, go at all .xml files and search for WhiteMagic inside the .xmls. When you find, tell me the file and in which line it is located.
Sorry: Dropbox failed. I will get you the link when it works again.

okay! please upload here the file. Thank You Mate!
EDIT: okay i'll just wait until you fix your DropBox.

Thanks. That should do it. I will take a look at it when I have access to my PC. Should be fairly easy to do. I will test on my first, and if I manage, you can upload yours so O can mod for you.
Wow... This is harder than I thought. But Niaboc helped me find it. He will teach me so I can do it myself

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

Any suggestions @Pandemic

For those who have issues, do this(Especially for Z5 users)
1.Take the final compiled apk and install it as framework
2.Recompile and push to phone

Excellent work as ever, @Pandemic! :good:
