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 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!
just rooted my buddies epic, which was definitely not as smooth as the captivate, and got to play around with it for a bit. i have to say, not impressed. feels like a big bulky clunker. not as refined as the captivate and is really a pain in the ass to root. tinkering with the epic made me appreciate my captivate that much more.
anyways just my short story of the day..
Thanks for sharing.
Can you give an example of how the phone was not smooth plz. Everyone else says that its smoother stock than the captivate
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
the process to root the phone is what i was referring to as not as smooth as our phones. there is a "one click" root for the epic but it took multiple tries to get the
1 click program to even see the phone and then once it saw the phone it was another issue to get the root over to the phone. not an easy update.zip like our phones.
the speed of the phone felt the same as the captivate stock vs. stock. once the dev's get a good root package down for the epic it will be better.
one other thing i didn't like about the epic is that there is no way to change what shortcuts you have running in the touchwiz tray. its the little things i guess.

Even after:
Applications -> [Menu] -> View Type -> Customizable Grid -> [Menu] -> Edit
You still can't move applications around? That's trippy. lol
nope, you dont even have that option. when you press menu in the app drawer you get the choice to list or grid. i am thinking it has something to do with the keyboard? i dont know.
How heavy is it? The moment was one heavy phone. I mean HEAVY.

it is noticeably heavier than my captivate with the body glove case on it. also the battery cover that it uses is SO cheap. its one piece of very thin plastic that clips on to the back with some really weak clips. i pulled the cover off of his phone with my non existent fingernails with great ease.
EPIC is stuck with an older version of TouchWiz 2.5 and lacks quite a few features TW 3 has on Captivate. The reason is because of the required landscape support for home screen when keyboard slids out.
Why not bake in landscape support on 3.0? Is it that radically different?

Well uh, I love my Captivate, but lets face it, Samsung hasn't exactly gone the extra mile on these phones.
That's how they get released with things like GPS issues or the lag troubles, etc. (Or the slower 2.2 upgrades.) Could Samsung have built in landscape on 3.0 and make it work with a not unreasonable amount of effort? Absolutely. Did they have to move units? Obviously not. So did they? Nope.

EPIC is the first slider in Galaxy S line. Samsung could wait 6 more months (or even more) to add landscape support in TW 3.0 or release the phone now and sell millions. It's a no brainer.
HTC spent couple years try to make landscape mode work perfectly for TF3D/Sense home screen on WM.

While that may be true, it didn't take them years to release landscape mode in subsequent releases. If Samsung has figured out landscape in a previous version, I find it a little hard to believe it would have been more than a couple weeks to port it over.
Its not like Samsung's QC is super high. If they ported it and FUBAR'd yet another thing its not like many people would have been surprised.
Then again, im not a programmer, so maybe my POV is unrealistic and skewed.

So MIUI is an awesome overhaul but definitely not ready for use as an everyday Rom just yet. What I was wondering is if there were any way or anyone who could port just the lock screen replacement from it. And if not, are there any replacements out there like it?
I would love to see someone point to google voice instead of the default messaging app.
I really like the lockscreen too
maybe the creator of widget locker lockscreen will implement it in future updates
That would be great.
That would be awesome!
This was so long ago...LOL. does MIUI still use the dual slide lock screen? Last I used it was on Rodriguez and the dual pic slide was removed. Not sure if this was rom specific or through MIUI though.

Miui does use the slide with phone/lock/message keys. But MIUI has an amazing theming system, so it comes in many forms.
Not ready for everyday use?!?! Guess need to move over to another ROM seeing as how I've been using MIUI everyday for months...
Sorry, just seems like YOUR opinion. NOT a fact...

Guess you don't know how to read. This thread was posted back when MIUI was brand new and extra buggy not to mention not even fully translated. So chill out. MIUI has come a long way in a short period. I don't use it full time but I've flashed versions and its pretty nice now.

Personally, I would love to see it added to Widget Locker. I already use MIUI as my daily ROM, and I love it! I also love Widget Locker, but I haven't used it in a while since I like MIUI's lock screen. Combine the best of both worlds, and we'll have a winner!
miui locker is what you seek
The phone is fast, the screen is beautiful & I know it's capable of so much. So far I'm not thrilled with the Sense UI. My big issue is the contacts & dial screens. Problem is coming from a N1 where I had NO crapware, to this is a bit overwhelming. Really the phone dialer is horrible. I just want to use the stock 2.3.3 dialer I've grown so fond of, easy to use. This one is a nightmare. If I wanted to spell out people's names with a dialpad, I'd still have a flip phone! The contact import was a mess. Never had these issues with stock ROM. I don't want to give up & get the G2X, because I love the phone.
Until they can be rooted, what can I do? Am I the only one who's bothered by this? It's a "phone" & the phone aspect is the worst part of the UI!
Get an third party dialer/contacts app from the market.... search for dialer, you'll get a bunch...

Thanks. I did download 1 but haven't found any yet that I really like. Sometimes less is more.
Do you find much of the font to be too small? I couldn't find any global settings, each app (mail, SMS, etc. ) had to be changed.
Just the font in general on the device? I can see some people saying that considering the display is qHD and there are so many pixels.... but it looks great on my young eyes... if you asked my dad, im sure he' say its too small though, ha.
I used to use Dialer One for a while, I liked it... now im using GoDialer/Contacts, its probably the most popular one out there I believe, supports multiple skins, lots of features... couldnt be more happy.
As for fonts... you need to wait for root so you can either change the screen density or use spare parts.

Thanks, good points. Yes the res is excellent. Go Dialer/Contacts is the one I downloaded, seemed the best. I guess I'm just so used to vanilla coming from an N1 w/ 2.3.4.
I love the Sense dialer above stock because of the smart dial feature, and the stock dialer looks so bland to me..

Glad to know I'm not alone. Guess we are the only two who hate this! I never felt the need to root my N1, but now I can't wait to root this phone! (I know they're will be excellent dev support & help for us who've never bothered to root before.
BTW, is there a HTC Sensation Group yet, I didn't find one?

You did try the phone before you bought it, right?
1. Print this out.
2. Acquire scotch tape
3. Tape to phone

5. Profit!

well do you just want the launcher and widgets or the whole set of menus dialer and more?
you can use 3rd party apps like go contacts and launcher pro and go weather or beautiful widgets or fancy widget and replace the lock screen with a market ap but to port the ui takes work both ui's have some kernel integration and the phones use completely different hardware so it takes a lot of work from experienced developers and none here have any interest in that. best i can tell you is to buy a sensation or it's canadia equivelant if you are not satisfied with market app.
though i do like mikeys suggestion.
I prefer Mikey's suggestion, agree with Dani's and suggest you look at how the proposed Sense port went for the original sgs and then come back......
I used Sense with Cookie's improvments. The GO Launcher and ALL of its addons are actually far superior - then add 2 quicklauncher - and this phone DESTROYS sense. Just a bit more work to get all assembled - but its all there and WAY MORE.

Getting TRUE sense UI on samsung based rom is (impossible??). Porting them is a lot harder then anyone might think.
sense is very heavy. i remember even 2 years ago on windows mobile phones it consisted of thousands of files. and it seems to only have gotten more bloated. its definitely not impossible, but its so intertwined with the framework, it would take alot of work. htc is not going to make it easy.

yeah I didn't know.. I know they port all the time from htc to htc so didnt know how it was from htc to another model or another model to htc.. the sense 3.5 for my inspire was great but the phone button broke, so i got the samsung infuse until the next htc came out.. I do however like some of the feedback i got and with a few free apps from the market ive got it dialed in with the htc looks without the battery cpu and mem hog.. may just get the galaxy 2 and mod it the same way and see if i can hold off on the htc.. but i hear the htc holiday aka raider is going to be amazing
