Want to add custom/modified transitions to your rom?
D thanks to aamikam for the add'l transition sets )
HERES HOW:
-Rip framework you wish to edit
-grab desired animations & swap the anim folders
-resign & replace framework.apk
-push to phone(adb/fresh kitchen)
OR
-resign rom & flash(if building/editing existing rom)
these are transitions like burst used in plurstaralpha
EXAMPLE VIDEO
ANIMATION FOLDER (FLIP)
ANIMATION FOLDER (STOCK)
ANIMATION FOLDER(BOUNCE)
ANIMATION FOLDER(FLYING)
ANIMATION FOLDER(FOLD)
The transitions are located in system/framework/frameworks-res.apk/res/anim
Just replace the /anim folder
Nice post(s) mannn!!

+1...Thanks Magnus.
I fucking love you (no homo)
Thanks Magnus, nice work.
Thanks. Unfortunately it did not work on mine (stock rooted/nand). I was getting the transitions but I was getting FCs.
I am thinking maybe the FCs happened because I pushed while phone was on. I push now in recovery and no FCs
This type of howto is awesome for people like me not ready to get into full cooking. Thanks!
guys... here is the animations i got a hold of.
they all pretty much work 100%.
the flip is at the first post so i wont post my version of it.
i attached the anim folder.
follow the same procedure as in the first post.... the only thing i would also do is to not resign the framework-res.apk and to make sure to clear dalvik-cache.
here are the videos for them:
bounce
fold
fly
full credit goes to Stale bread who actually made all of these animations for the Samsung moment. including the flip animations.
have fun.
for all of those creative people out there... u can mix between the animations... just look at the files and you can kinda tell by name of the xml what does what and switch around to get your own original animations the way u want them.
personally i use bounce for menus and flip for transitions.

there are metamorph files with those animations...
but i dont use metamorph so im not sure hot to explain it.
making a flashable zip for those is complicated cuz not all roms have the same theme or the same version of framework-res.... so each rom might need to be worked out different.
u can just take the files and added them to your rom's framework-res and then make a flashable zip that will do the job... but if u dont know how to make a flashable zip... thats a different story.
also, i forgot to mention that u might wanna push the file while in recovery and not while the phone is running...
maybe someone will decide to make a flashable zip for each and every rom... and it wont take long also once u have the actual framework-res from each rom...
i can probably do it sometime... but i have an exam tomorrow... so im not going near it for atleast 30 hours.
This is freakin awesome. Dont kno how to do and dont fully trust my abilities to give it a try. Still freakin awesome tho!
About to hit my station. Going to mix around.

i've been playing around with them.
if u decompile them u can see whats up in there... pretty simple actually.
but u gotta kinda visualize it.
i've been trying to find time to also implement them into more apps...
for example... inside com.htc.resources.apk there is obviously also an anim folder... but just takeing those anim files and moving them into that folder replacing the original ones wont do... u need more than that cuz the call for the anim inside framework-res is made into a folder inside the framework-res while in com.htc.resources the call is also made into the same anim file but in a different manner.
for example:
inside framework-res the call is made like this:
<set android:interpolator="@anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and inside com.htc.resources u would need to have it looking like this:
<set android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
notice the "android:" before the "anim...."
so inorder to port those animations into other things u have to add it in which requires u to decompile the files etc...
also...
here is an example of how the fade in.xml animation is for the filp animations inside framework-res.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<set android:interpolator="@anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<scale android:interpolator="@anim/linear_interpolator" android:duration="200" android:fillAfter="false" android:startOffset="200" android:fromXScale="1.0" android:toXScale="1.0" android:fromYScale="0.0" android:toYScale="1.0" />
<translate android:duration="200" android:startOffset="200" android:fromYDelta="50.0%" android:toYDelta="0.0" />
</set>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
notice that it is not so hard to see what does what as far as coordinates and such.
for the other things its probably not clear but a little research on the android developers website will explain a lot about what does what.
so changing the offset, duration and Xscale and Yscale is pretty self explanatory i think.
u can also add on to it... which means that u can make it flip, then fade, and then shrink.... something like that.
notice that the x coordinates is always showing and the y coordinates are the ones that does something.... thats how u get the window to kinda slide from the top and bottom to the middle. (if im not getting confused here...)
i'm saying that cuz if u look at the original fade in.xml u will se that it was simply:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<alpha android:interpolator="@anim/accelerate_interpolator" android:duration="@integer/tab_switch_fade_in_duration" android:fillAfter="true" android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
alpha is kinda the fade in/out effect btw.
anyways... i kknow i kinda said too much... but i know there are a lot of creative people out there... so thats a quick and somewhat helpful starting point to what to look at and such.
im no expert... but i love playing around with things like this... so i'm putting out an example of what i noticed.
again... thanks stalebread for putting his work out there.

Actually, I just followed Stale Bread's instructions from SDX forums while grabbing the animations from Lowrider's theme, which came from Stale Bread by the way. With 7zip, I just simply modded Jabbawalkee's smooth sense theme to have the transitions. Everything working great without decompile/recompile/resigning. Of course this was easily done only because these devs already did all the hard work. Thanks.

as u can probably guess... im not the one who made these videos... they are probably like a 6 months or one year old.
i found those animations at a Samsung moment forum.
i dont really have time to make videos for it on the evo right now... sorry...
but ill try to get some videos going if no one beats me to it.
if u ask me... just try them all out and see what u like from each one and combine them together... i tried all of them out... some have somethings missing in them for some reason... probably cuz they r made for a non htc phone... but its fixable.
i have those going on mt phone for like a month now... i just never thought about posting them until i saw that someone else posted the flip just by itself with instructions... and i suck at writing instructions.
i never had time to mess with them too much... right now like i said im running bounce for the menus cuz they kinda scare u how they pop in your face... kinda cool. and flip for transitions.
im not a fan of the fold cuz its kinda sluggish if u ask me... and flyin is cool also.
the one that actually works perfect though in every way is the flip animations... but thats why im saying u can use the files to create your own.
ill try to fixup the quirks in the animations that r not perfect when i get time... again if no one beats me to it.

did u just replaced the files in the framework-res or in other packages also?
from what i can tell i dont think it would work if the call is made to a folder/file within the apk when the folder/file dont really exist in the apk.
but if u said it worked for u... ill try it myself also.
from what i saw the only really safe anim folder to switch is the one in framework-res... but i never tried it without modifying the row's i stated a few posts back.
p.s.
i meant that u need to decompile if u want to do more than use them as is.

Well I wanted to start a bounty for this theme since it doesnt seem like im the only one wanting it. I dont know if I am asking too much, but the rounded corners, animations, clock, just looks fantastic. Is there anyway to port this too damage build (with sense)? If so im in, im a college student so ill go $5.....may not be much, but lets see how many others come in (likely too be a decent amount).
Too those that dont know about it:

That isn't really the whole theme... That's just a taskbar I made w/ the battery seen in Regaw's ROM. Is that all that is wanted? Cause there are animations and other stuff in the full theme. I don't know much about those but copying and pasting the .png files that what you posted is pretty darn easy.

that zip gave you the fonts, the full taskbar and the launcher + wallpaper. thats all i want, i don't need the animations.

KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
!!!UPDATE3!!!
(6/1)This is Darchs newest updated rom, plus the stuff i like to roll with. Darch battery fix and vvm are already built in. This is the GOOGLE version, meaning gbits are built in as well. For screens look below. Ive changed nothing visually so no new screenies.
DOWNLOAD KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
(old)Ive been exp battery issues after a days use, and im trying to narrow down the problem...Im working on an update with the new rom and fixes because i would like to run this but i need my battery life too like my DamageRs.....I modded them to have awesome battery, but the same mods on an aosp dont have the same effect, same with my opengl hacks....IM WORKING ON THE UPDATE, bear with me, im only making it better
After taking all of the comments from last nite into consideration, and staying up all nite to finish, I updated the mod with a new launcher, i modded the helix, made two more fonts for the two ver. KKD_MODv3.2G and KKD_MODv3.2lite I fixed EVERYTHING i had comments on....Also i added 5 fonts in update.zip form for anyone in case they dont like what they see....
Ive fallen into a bad habit where i CANNOT flash a rom w/o modding it to my liking......So this is a beta v. MOD of darch's latest and greatest...I HAD to try it. Made me jump Damage Ship for a sec. Still testing, but afict everything is working nicely. Im touching it up now and ill put up the beta in a bit....This is not a beta to me, but ill wait till i get a little feedback to polish it.
This rom has EVERYTHING In DarchDroid + some of XTRA goodies we can ALL use. This is the rom i made for myself, i NEVER used the original.....Im happy to share with you my modded ver. of DarkDroid. I call it DarchKingKang(had to do it).....DDK.v2 for short....
DARCH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I DID TO HIS ROM, SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY, JUST TRYING TO GIVE PPL ONE MORE CHOICE
INSIDE
AKA Reasons to check this particular mod out
+Swype/Android KB Hybrid
+I modded my 1st launcher...other than rosie xD
+Andvanced launcher
+ADW as an update zip case you prefer it...
+DDMS was crying about openGL so i added some of my fixes
+Overclock Widget
+Astro
+Opera
+Glass jogbars and launcher(man i love fireworks)
+MT3G Music
+modded music apk i took from/aka kanged a cyan rom
+BatteryMonitorWidget
+SysTrayMonitor
+wi-fi tether
+UltimateFaves
+Quick Boot
+VVM
+A bunch more stuff i forgot.......
Darch kept this rom so small that even with my utilities/added apks its still less than 70mb!!!!We have darch to thank for the original rom that i based this mod on..... I dont want to offend darch or anyone that loves his work, this is merely what i did before i flashed this rom onto my OWN hero.....I wanted to keep this lite since it is a minimalist rom and i only added utilities that everyone here would utilize....
I got some screenies too.....
PLEASE DONT FREAK OUT YOU DONT GET THE FONT IN THE SCREENIES
Have no fear, that font was just for my v1 of this rom..... im looking for something sweet for everyone else,and as always stock font will be available for dl right below the rom.....
BETA SCREENS
KKD_MODv3.2
Thank Darch for his stellar work PLEASE
Thank Shoebox for Swype/Android Beta KB i FOUND & ported
Thank ME for CHOPPING/CUTTING/GUTTING/COPYING/PASTING/KANGING......well, you get the idea...
AND LASTLY,NO WHINING,FLAMING,OR NEGATIVITY PLEASE, THIS IS A HOBBY AND SOMTHING I DO FOR FUN, IF YOU CAN DO BETTER, IDC,GO DO IT

Looks really nice but im not fond of the fonts, they look all cut off.
I agree you do good work, but your fonts completely turn me away from trying every one of your ROMS...
Looks cool, I'll give it a flash when you put it up.
TBH though, I hate the stock white notification bar from AOSP builds.. looks especially goofy to me with roms like this where everything else is themed darker

Sorry about that but its your loss.... If youd looked into what i do youd see i include the stock font with any of my mods because few ppl like mine, and i explained the pictured font in the op...You should really try one and flash one of my update zip stock fonts.....You shouldnt let font stop you from flashing ANY rom, you might miss something really sweet. I have ppl that hate red but ran my red theme till i up'd somthing new because they appreciate what i do.....Sorry youd let a update.zip for stock font stop you from trying something new...Not really looking for fans anyway, just maybe a few ppl that enjoy my mods as much as i do, and i achieved that goal a LONG time ago, without about 98% of cdma hero not looking twice @ what i do, so im used to it and idrc.

Sorry you dont like my app drawer launcher, i learned how to make glass effects so i made that reflection at the top to accent the taskbar, and made the app drawer launcher indicators green to match the system highlites, and lastly i made the button presses on the swype/android hybrid kb orange to match the search bar highlight...... LOOK CLOSER...It matches and IT IS themed...if i couldnt match colors and shapes thered be no point in themeing..Also, i looked for soooo long to find statusbar_backround, and its not the same part in this rom so i couldnt change it. I really wanted to make it just like the launcher drawer originally... All the ideas are very good, but its much. harder to make them materialze.....its easy to say this stuff after you see it.... but i took the time to MAKE it....Thanks for being honest....im sure you can appreciate my honesty as well...

Nope. I waited till he fixed it before i themed it. Camcorder works now too
7 comments; 1 compliment, 1 person keeping the peace, and 5 complaints......I remember a while ago i talked to damage and he was *****ing us out for ragging on DC and what needed to be [email protected] first i thought he was a ****, but ive slowly come to understand him over time.....he was never a ****, i just had NO IDEA where he was coming from.....Itd be a little more helpful if instead of telling me what you dont like, how bout telling what you do like and put it up for me to use so i can make my stuff more accepted by you......Thats EXACTLY what id do, so i dont think its very far fetched to expect it here on a development site...negativity and complaints are soo easy to put out there, but compliments, constructive criticism, and offering a logical solution dont seem to be the common choice around here.....Sorry if anyone finds this a bit harsh, do not take offense. I have been working on this since yesturday to get it up here so ppl can have a modded aosp if they wish, and it seems that all my work is wasted because of something as simple to change as font, is not well liked......I would think anyone following the developement sub forum would know how to change font, or flash an update.zip containing it.....Whats that old saying?? YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE??? yep, im thinking that one all the time
Loving the new rom. Thanks for all the time and effort you and all the other devs put into building these. I am ready to DL as soon as the link is up. I wish I had the talent, skill and time to build one myself.
I enjoy your work.. I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon at the DL link drops..

No I understand, I've tried doing themes but with two kids it's hard to find the time anymore. I've just personally never liked the look of just the white notification bar, I prefer the Sense black style our Hero's came out of the box until we flashed them to hell and back. The launcher looks good and I get where your coming from to match the launcher to the taskbar. Overall it looks good, and unlike a lot of the other ones I like that font alot and want to try it. If anything it looks like it could stand to be smaller, but again, that's more of an Android issue considering the system resizes the base fonts for the different parts of it and the stylized fonts must be larger to give it the style.
Don't mind the complaints, there's always a place for any sort of theme or rom you can come up with. If anything maybe do a screencap with the stock font at the top of the post for comparison (and since you do provide it as well), then do the rest with the font you want to do. I think that would help with the font complaints.
Thanks for the hard work..now we just need a link
nice work might give it a go

Looks really nice but im not fond of the fonts, they look all cut off.

Me neither, it was my beta and that font looked cool on my pc, in my post up there i explained the whole situation and that YOU WONT GET THIS FONT in giant letters...... Just sick of looking @ stock anything and i like to experiment...Most ppl dont like what i do.I do it for myself, and the ppl that follow what i do, really like my stuff..... Sort of a LOVE HATE deal....
I agree you do good work, but your fonts completely turn me away from trying every one of your ROMS...

Sorry about that but its your loss.... If youd looked into what i do youd see i include the stock font with any of my mods because few ppl like mine, and i explained the pictured font in the op...You should really try one and flash one of my update zip stock fonts.....You shouldnt let font stop you from flashing ANY rom, you might miss something really sweet. I have ppl that hate red but ran my red theme till i up'd somthing new because they appreciate what i do.....Sorry youd let a update.zip for stock font stop you from trying something new...Not really looking for fans anyway, just maybe a few ppl that enjoy my mods as much as i do, and i achieved that goal a LONG time ago, without about 98% of cdma hero not looking twice @ what i do, so im used to it and idrc.
Looks cool, I'll give it a flash when you put it up.
Thanks for the positivity and support
TBH though, I hate the stock white notification bar

Sorry you dont like my app drawer launcher, i learned how to make glass effects so i made that reflection at the top to accent the taskbar, and made the app drawer launcher indicators green to match the system highlites, and lastly i made the button presses on the swype/android hybrid kb orange to match the search bar highlight......

You could take the rom or theme and put your own fonts in before flashing.

Is there a way to have this ported to the Hero? These are the best icons I have seen in Android so far (imho)
Mayb with some resizing the icons can b used in one of the roms 4 the hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well afaik the icons are changed by changing the apk and resigning. I don't know how to change the icons in the apk or resign, so I don't know how to do this... if someone were to do this, they could just make it a flashable zip to change the icons on almost any ROM (with the apps)
could ask him. Konib used to dev for the Hero
It would look better and take way less time if you either asked konib to do it or asked to have his originals so you could port it. Resizing indexed .pngs from higher resolution to lower resolution makes them look like crap. (not all but a lot of them)

How can you say its not even close to being true when Im sitting here staring at a GPS icon I took from the Droid X resized it to 25x25 and there are a few pixels that are out of place? Unless I'm doing it wrong... even then its still close to being right. And how can porting a theme from a higher res theme not be time consuming?

You're right. Theres no argument about the the depreciation of images when resizing. They get compressed. Its not a matter of opinion, or conjecture, its fact. If you are able to refute this, let me know.
Well to correct everyone,resizing will remove some of the clarity of the image. Scaling the image down will preserve the clarity to do this we start with a 38x38 image create a new blank 25x25 and paste the image in, then use transform to shrink the image down. This actually scales the full image to size. That is for photoshop . Fireworks also can accomplish this very well . This is just my experience after 7 years of PhotoShop

Metamorph please I have better luck with them not messing with any of my other mods.
I did what I could for now. I will make both a flashable zip and a metamorph theme. I haven't made a metamorph theme since they changed the program, but I should have something up either tonight or in the morning. And I am putting the icons in both the HTC apps(HTC dialer, mail, messaging) as well as the AOSP apps, because I am not sure who uses what.

haha, nevermind. i sometimes forget that winmo device
This can easily be ported, actually. Not so sure about how it'd look with the animated flip clock from the new Sense, I' not so great with PhotoShop. But I'm downloading the ROM now and I'll see if I can put it together real quick.
Edit: I dunno what the hell is up with WM but they're custom ROMs are RUU's? Lol Weird, I really have no idea what to do here. Not unless I have the actual apk.
I asked him if he could get me the png's to his flip clock in his thread. Hopefully he gets back to me or somebody else ports it before then. It's a beautiful flip clock.

u will need to have a tool to dig out icons for the task bar from a dll file and u would also need cfc editor to pull out the images off of the manila files.
edit:
actually i have all the png's from his theme... just dont have time to mess with it now.. i do hope that u know how manila actually works... cuz other wise u will need sometime to figure out some things...
anyways... here is the pngs used in his theme... i didnt sort them out cuz manila doesn't really work like the packages for the android... its just all in one big folder with numbered manila files and not actually names.
anyone that feels like they wanna give it a go... go for it.. i will personally start a full port of this theme sometime next weekend and since i wanna make t perfect with everything thats the theme has it might take sometime to finish it completely.
I think you can find it on beautiful widgets. Or something close to it.

Switching images around is the easy part... making it all fit and look good in a unified look is the hard one.
I know people think its easy to theme once u have the images... but that's not true if u want the theme to be unified...
U probably didn't try my theme cuz u probably don't like the look of it.
But just so u can see what I mean when I say unified... give it a try.
I rework every tiny little 12x12 icon and make sure every apps has the same changes as made for everything else.
And yes i did think of porting it for a while now... but my priority was other things.
I'm just happy that since I also themed Manila before I know all the files already... if u look at the zip I uploaded u will see that its very hard to figure what's what in there.

Trust me bro, I already looked and I am soooo Confused!
Ok guys... this mod is something i did real quick cuz chingy requested it from me and it is a good idea to have use it if u using JsChiSurf Vanilla LockScreen mod that cannot use the htc alarm clock app to set the alarm.
This will make sure u guys will use the android clock to set the alarms etc cuz every time u push the clock u will get to the android clock.
Please note that u must have the android clock app in order for it to work (it comes with the zip from JS vanilla lockscreen mod) cuz thats where the remapping takes u to once u push on the clock.
THIS SO FAR IS ONLY MADE FOR THE STOCK ANIMATED HTC FLIP CLOCK WIDGET AND NOT THE REGULAR HTC CLOCK !!!
Just to avoid a few future questions:
1. yes, it is possible to remap the clock to all apps.
2. yes, non animated flip clock version will also come soon.

thanks to chingy for asking me to make this mod.
zip attached... have fun.
p.s.
i cannot make this for all clocks out there and meta-morph didn't work for some reason.
so...
to all dev's and themers out there... if u wanna use this in your clocks just use the classes.dex file from the apk thats in the zip.
Thank you.
Thanks, I have been wondering when this would be done. Button pressed!
looks like no one really wants this mod...
anyways... since it really does look like it... ill stop here, no need to keep this up.

Sorry to see that not much interest has been shown in it. I for one think it's great and have modded it a few times for different roms already.

Only the animated ones, Stoney has already added it to all his animated ones by the way. If you add it to a non animated your clock will disappear.
