[Request] Sense UI app zooming animation - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Can someone possibly hack in a zooming animation for when applications are opened and closed into the Rosie launcher? This would be great because it feels very boring having everything just pop up immediately and would definitely spice it up!

It would be a lot easier for you to just not use sense. App zooming is in stock android, and you can customize launcher pro or adw launcher to very accurately mimic sense.

Not accurately. I love how Sense integrates social networks in one place. And all the widgets. These CANNOT be replaced by anything in stock.

Actually, the dev of launcher pro is working on making all of the sense widgets for his launcher, some are available right now, others are on the way. Launcherpro.com the ones available now work fantastically and he's going to be doing friendstream as well. I prefer this to sense, the screen previews are vastly superior than senses also.

The way it integrates social networking...

What does sense integrate that stock doesn't?

Stock has everything you really need. Unless you're looking for specifically the friendstream (which I personally don't like because its too much for me to go through facebook and twitter at once), which btw can be on stock sort of by using the facebook application of .. something I don't remember, but it is a ported applicaiton from an LG phone i thinkso.
But if you want sense, please flash a sense rom. There are some very very good ones out now, like evilD's with 720p recording. check into it.

No, like the People application. It has EVERYTHING in it about your contacts. Text messages, emails, facebook, twitter, events, gallery... everything in one place.
And prettier UI.

As stated just use sense, especially SINCE you refuse to try my suggestion which would most likely suit best. Launcherpro can emulate sense nicely, including what you've listed

Sense is alot deeper than scrollable widgets fede is copying.

yeah Sense does well enough....and launcherpro rocks too!

Read what the guys above me wrote.
Stop being stubborn with your LauncherPro. Please. I have used and tried it, it doesn't satisfy my needs. This topic is about hacking in a zooming animation, not telling me what I should use instead.
I want to see it have a People application that combines everything I wrote earlier with all the widgets and integration, nice UI, friendstream, and events.

Get back on topic please, xXJay_RXx. I didn't start this thread to argue, but ask for a feature request.

I saw a stock HTC Hero yesterday and it had this zooming feature. It looks amazing...
Has anyone figured out how to implement it ? (No Comments about Launcher Pro please...)

Just reading along different threads couldnt you just take out the anim folder from the rosie that has the zoom and add it to where you want it? But i believe you would have to rename some of those coming from the rosie anim my best bet
It would be just like how theres a lot of transition effects now, because people just replace that folder with otheres

Sense 2.1 Full Screen Weather Lockscreen Addon

Can the full screen weather lockscreen from Sense 2.1 roms be extracted as an zip mod?
I'm running Freshs 1.1 and would like to add it.
There's a weather lockscreen? Where this hell is this at?! I'm running Eclair 2.1v2.
There is no weather lockscreen
Well I must have misunderstood the thread about the 2.1 roms. I thought it said when you turn the screen on it showed the full screen weather?
I was under the assumption that was a lockscreen.

I would be intrested on this to. You can run nexus one weather widget on 1.5, I'm hoping its the same for the weather app on 2.1 it can be brought to 1.5
can you link to the weather widget that works on 1.5? i would LOVE to have that lol.

its not going to work because fresh 1.1 is 1.5 based and the weather app needs 2.1 framework, stop asking for 2.1 stuff for 1.5, DEVs have alot better things to work on then porting **** to 1.5 for peons, if you dont like it then learn to DEV and keep building on to a rom that will be obsolete in two weeks

Dude....most people here still use 1.5 based roms because they still have a camara. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having requests. That is what this forum is all about.....its not about complaining about what people ask for.

I know I was using the Nexus One Weather widget with Darschs 2.1 rom before the whole eris leak. But haven't heard anything about it working for 1.5 or not. A good weather widget though I would suggest is snowstorm its on the market and has additional icon packs available for it too.

What is your favorite "HOME"?

I know it's been asked for some specific roms, but it's really interesting wat ppl like more on any ROM..
Helix, period.
I don't like sense though, so sense lovers are going to disagree.
I'm confused about the difference between:
Stock plain android
AOSP look plain android
Unless you are talking about one black one white. But then you are getting in to themes and out of Home options.
I like sense, I wish they just go ahead and open source it, then we could really do some interesting things for it. Hell they could at least relase a widget dev kit, or specs on their widget api.
i like sense and now that it has working live wallpapers its goin to be the best

ok.. maybe i was wrong about that one.. I thought AOSP look wasnt a theme... but whatever i guess.. I do like AOSP look though, and I like Helix and Launcher, but I started to hate Sense look for some reason

to all you Sense UI haters...

HTC evo can run (out of the box) stock android w/ nexus launcher and all.
http://htcdev.net/topic/11584-sprint-evo-4g-working-without-sense-ui/
I don't know if this has been posted before, since I'm in a rush to prom I havent been able to check. anyways, htc has done another thing right. yay! haha
1. There is already a topic about this.
2. There is NO WAY to run the phone without Sense UI without installing a custom ROM. Sense UI is highly integrated into the OS. The video that you see is the EVO running launcher2.apk instead of Rosie.apk (the Sense home app). This is nothing new or exciting, so I wish people would stop making damn topics about it.
Hey man, you gotta understand i didnt search and couldnt search. Also, i know you cant completely replace sense ui on a stock rom but some people like the launcher2.apk better. So sorry for double posting bud

For many this is true. For others, I suspect there are multiple motivations for wanting a pure android. I suspect most fall into one or more of 3 categories.
They may want pure as the driven snow Open Source Android
They might want as few of what they don't need as possible for increased resources
They simply don't like the HTC and it's prettiness
To each his own. As long as you're on Android, we are on the same side. Viva La Evo! Viva Android! Death to Apple!
I like Android Sense. Makes the transition from WM6.5 Sense a lot smother for me
I dont think anyone would deny that fact that Sense looks amazing. I just want to shut it off to save my battery. From what i hear, sense is quite the juice hog.

You won't save much battery if you turn Sense off. Unless you just have pages full of self updating widgets or something.
love the 2.1 UI.im GOING for that instead of the SENSE
Yeah... I'm looking forward to a stock froyo EVO as soon as possible... best of luck to those with the skill to make it happen
Or at least sense with the stock 2.2 launcher. I actually like the default contacts and messaging apps for sense. Not to mention the clock is way better too, and camera has tap to focus. One thing AOSP has for me though is the look, the white and orange are very appeasing for some reason.
im jus hopeing HTC keeps their promise of updating the SUPERSONIC in july to FROYO 2.2(love the UI).gonna love the phone even more.

hhmm, goofy quote, I'll say that.
HTC Sense is "attractive", but not for everyone.
The first time I played with Sense was on a Hero ROM on my G1. Then again with the Desire ROM on my Nexus.
Even with the Nexus speed increase, it was definitely NOT sexy.
I really like the Plain Jane look of Android™ raw.

Check what else you put in there besides fancy widget, version 1. 30 is working great for me on spica i5700 running 2.1 with launcher pro and judging by comments no one so far is experiencing what you are reporting.

Isnt Fancy widget similair (about the same) compared with HTC's Sense clock widget? Makes me think why you would like to have Fancy widget while you have Sense
LauncherPro + Fancy Widget works like a charm on my Nexus

Yeah, doesn't make sense at all Seriously, yeah, I'd just use the HTC Clock widget.
I still like the whatever-the-app-is when you touch the weather in the Sense Clock widget.. World weather, time, stopwatch, etc all in one place. Played with it in XDAndroid a bit, but using a stock Nexus One and have separate apps for such things now.
You do realise the HTC Clock Widget can only be used on Sense UI, right?

stock apps

i am looking for the sprint stock apps and the htc stock ones as well... i updated my rom and would like to get some stuff back such as the clock widget on a stock rom, etc etc....
thanks in advance
The clock widget was a Sense widget. If your new ROM isn't a sense rom, you can't use the stock clock widget. There are quite a few replacement widgets in the market though.
Search around on the development forums. Devs like to strip out those apps but provide flashable zips for those who want them. Limit your search to the Sense roms.

need more info.. for starters, what rom are u using?
If you are using a non-Sense based ROM (i.e. CM) none of the widgets will work as they all need the Sense framework to run.
The Sprint apps will run however, and as was stated, take a look in the Development forums, they are all there.
thank u all for ure replys! yea im using cyanogenmod 7 and ill look around in those forums.... also, i understand that they need the framework for it to work, but those zip files stated on top... would they not contain those files? im new to android, i come from windows mobile... so sorry for the noobish questions

You won't find a Gingerbread ROM with Sense...you can theme it to look like Sense, but it will not be Sense.
As for the Sense framework, no, the zips that have the apps will not have the Sense framework...totally different beast

Fancy Widget free is what I was using before upgrading to Fancy Widget Pro.
The Pro version gives the option to use a very Sense-like flip clock and weather animations similar to what you would see in Sense.

If you are looking for a more minimal look on your clock and weather widget, I suggest simiclock. Free in. the market, though you can't go wrong with buying beautiful widgets.

I actually have a few (Minimalistic Text, Beautiful Widgets, SimiClock, FancyWidgets and Miui) that I switch between or combo up...I'm a tool I like the weather forecast options of FancyWidgets, the clock look of Miui, battery stats of Minimalistic Text...I'm never satisfied Wish I could learn to make my own app to make it how I want it...I have tried and always just revert back recognizing the fact that I can theme, but not dev.
better! i love the fancywidgets... made my rom look better!

And if you've got the spare change, Beautiful Widgets is another step up from FW. It's weather animations are much better and it has a million different sense themes and more homescreen widgets.
I can't find my city in Miui Weather, or any city near me. I'll have to do a little research on it later when I get home, it really is gorgeous...
