[REQUEST] autorotate animation

I don't know if thus is the right place to post this. So mods have at it and move if needed. Would it be possible to have an app that'll animate the screen during use of the autorotate feature? Obviously I have no clue on how to code

What are you trying to animate?

Are you thinking of something like the animation in an iPhone when you rotate?

Think "rotating an iPhone", he wants that fancy flip the entire screen effect present on Apple products. I love it so much, Steve may be mean - but Apple has perfect graphic and visual designers.

+1 it's extremely well polished. Granted it's not the instantaneous rotation that Android provides but it sure looks nice!

+1
Shouldn't this be in development?

i happened to find in the market an alternate spare parts app that has a selection for rotate animations in it, just an fyi

Do you mean an alternate version of Spare Parts or an application like Spare Parts? If it's an application like Spare Parts, mind giving us the name?
[EDIT] Oh wait I've found it. The market version of Spare Parts. I don't seem to see any difference when enabling the fancy rotation though.

I am blind as well

Thread moved and cleaned

I actually thought there would be an animation a long time ago. Anyone remember the G1 zooming cube animation?

There was an animation back on 1.5 however within the source code it was commented out in 1.6 and then deleted all together on 2.1 . I read that it isn't possible to adapt to 2.1 because surface flinger lies on top of open gl. Could any developers get this running again? I'm sure it would be a lot quicker on the nexus one than the magic.

Yeah, that's definitely one of those many little things that make the Nexus look less polished than the iPhone (And don't get me wrong, I hate the iPhone )

+1 to this!

Perhaps something simple like a fading display. Or Have the background rotate first and have the icons and widgets rotate at a slower rate, so it looks like the foreground is trying to "catch up" to the background

I would take anything animated, i hate the fact that when i rotate my screen its just so still!
But i think its better for faster screen rotation.

this much talk and no developers chiming in.. don't think this is going anywhere..

YEAH THIS IS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS GETTING A FRIKKIN FLIP CLOCK THAT FRIKKIN FLIPS... AAHHHH THE OL' JACHERO DAYS! i SEE PHONES HALF AS POWERFUL BY HTC W/ THE CLOCK FRIKKIN FLIPPIN AWAY!
BACK ON TOPIC I TOO WOULD LOVE THIS IN ANY FASHION AS LONG AS THE DELAY (AND IT WILL SLOW THE TRANSITION DOWN) IS MINIMAL! HOWEVER I USE SENSE SO ROTATION IS A WHOLE NOTHER GAME THERE!

[Resolved] [Q] Looking for a specific live wallpaper

I am looking for a live wallpaper I saw a while back but I don't remember where. It had a black background, with these little blobs (kinda like amoebas). They where different colors and they would eat each other. I think it had a type of game built into it or something. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Would it be the first one here ?

It's called Microbes and it's from the Nexus S. There's an apk HERE.
It will slow your Launcher to a crawl though unless you have a device powerful enough to run it.

Just edit the thread title.

*Explain your home screen layout*

I thought it would be cool for us to share the reason behind whatever our home screen setup is, rather than posting a screen shot.
Do you like the home page to be empty & clean looking? Do you organize everything into folders?
Hopefully this thread will bring out some different ideas on how we can organize our home screens.
I personally like the home page to be blank so I can see my wallpaper, other pages with my most commonly used apps.
Share

I llike my most frequently used widgets and apps on my home screen, but I agree, I would like it if my homescreen was just my walpaper... but I guess I am more of a functional person than an appearance person.

If I have a girlfriend, my home screen is blank. If I don't, it has a huge clock and a few shortcuts.

Omg roflmfao!! I didn't see the "L" in CLOCK
Dyslexia wins again!!!
My bad.

Fancy Widget clock shows time, weather, and date.
below that is my appointment widget which tells me my next two upcoming calendar events.
Below that is my 4 basic app shortcuts (Nav, Market, Camera, Email).
Nice and organized, and gives me all my most important info at a glance.
To the left of my screen is my list of most used contacts, and to the left of that is my work apps (VNC, RDP, terminal, network testers, etc.)
To the right of my homescreen is my shortcuts for most used apps, semi-grouped into categories (such as games, music related, astronomy related, etc.)
Everything is very symmetric and functional, because that's the knd of person I am.

I think the implication was that the picture of his girlfriend would be the background, and hence, if he has a picture as a background, he wouldn't want to obscure it with apps/widgets/etc...
Least that's what I assumed. If it's not that, then I have no idea.

I only have a clock and dockbar on my home screen.
One page right is g search, power control and Atk widgets, and apps.
One page left has camera app. Nice and clean, literally only what I need.

I have all app shortcuts that I use daily on home. To the right I have power control, astro, battery use, shootme, etc, basically utility screen. To the left I have mort player widget and pandora widget.
I use microbes or light grid wallpaper. Something dark, simple, colorful, but not busy.

no MIUI? no Problem! there is something to fill in the GAP!

Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up

So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

checked it out, seems pretty ****ing cool lol, i like the running apps widget, just needs widget resizing.
Thanks, now i have somthing new to play with when i cant sleep lol

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.

It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

Would be kickass, Icon's arent an issue, But the wave formation seems to be frozen in that video, Like it's one of those sidescrolling lamps, I think I can remake that in AFX, But how to make it a LiveWallpaper is totally out of my area, Although id love to learn how

Amazin'! Mind-blowing! I love that thing! Imma wanna have it on my phone! IT reminds me of teh PSP! Oh..I miss it

Yeah i miss my psp too *sniff*!!!

Best i can do is the livewallpaper in the background. After all it looks like a combi of icons and live wallpaper. Bootup logo could be changed in a way aswell.

Though a live wallpaper would be good but i think what we really need is a launcher like app

But from the looks of the video it looks like it can be easily done using a custom GO Launcher/ADW theme. What makes the android perfect is it has the smoothness of sidescrolling like PS3, Just no click sounds Or branchdown menus. Id love that
