I was browsing around and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813162
and tried pushing and pulling the anim folder and all worked great, except everything!
the flip animations worked, but every app FC'ed.
so i basically only saw the flipping during the fc screens!
looks great, but doesn't work.
i have NO CLUE how to make it work.
what needs done to the files to get it to work?
and i MAY need the stock anim folder from our phone please!
by MAY i mean i do badly!
thanks!

Back when I was running Zen-ROM I was using Envynet's Elegant Envy theme, seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768540
It had very similar animations to what I saw in the video...hopefully you can pull something from that.
i'm going to look into that.
thank you very much
Just wanted to say first time I pulled com.htc.resources.apk and pushed to that (made a backup before I modified) so after I pushed it nothing happened..
Then I pulled framework-res.apk and ploped the anim files in that.
Well now I get some really cool flip style transitions on my status bar up top, but no flip clock... Or is this what it's about? BTW, I got NO fc's on this either. If you want the framework-res.apk file, i'll post it.
Either way at least the flip style status bar will make a great addition to my roms
i could only get the ones from the dark to actually work.
all others wouldn't unzip.
so i'm giving them a go now.
i'll keep you posted.
sure, let me have what you got.
i'll toy around with them a little too.
thanks
so, the aria dark framework-res didn't work.
same thing.
force closes, but they flip!
by the way,
i'm using cm6 with adw launcher.
andro green theme.
i'm going to try LP instead of adw.
I believe envynet has did this before with his Envy Aria theme as I remember the flipping animations when i used that rom and his theme.

i tried those from Envy.
no avail.
still the same FC's as before.

Here's my framework-res.apk file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1xdbf9w9308cwe2
All I did was pull the original from my phone, merge the anim directories with the file you provided and pushed back and voila! flips animations (between screens)
....
I just noticed you said your using cm6...
Well, I guess I better warn you.
I am using HTC Stock 2.1(base). And I am on Cellular South not Sprint, so definitely make a backup of your current framework-res.apk file before pushing this one.. dunno if it will work or not but hope so.
Thanks Hex:
Still gettting FC's.
i'm guessing it doesnt like AOSP.
i haven't had any luck with anything i've come across.
but they have ALL been from sense based roms. i think ....
i think i'm going to need some help on this.
anybody?!
Man this would be cool
it looks great,but ....
i can only see it on the FC screens!
Sounds to me like the xmls in that anim folder have settings pointing to various Sense related stuff (as I am finding out the hard way on my minimalist rom atm)
What you would need to do is decompile the xmls from cm6, and the xmls from the flipping anim folder and go through one by one merging just the flip code related to the animations and remove any sense related links... Which if I remember correctly are going to be addresses AND memory pages. This may prove to be quite tough to decipher.
Yeah I just think the .zip you found doesnt like aosp. I got it to work on my sense rom thanks to Hex. Now I like the animations.
Thanks man, always glad to help!
and how do i edit / decomplile these?
point me in the right direction, and i'm on it.
i want this to happen.
i'll probably hate it after a while, but i keep getting teased with the fc screens.
so for now, i want it!
what do i use to view xmls to edit them?
bump this up for a little help?
Shoot man, mah bad. I was meaning to help you.
#1 you need apktool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640592
This decompiles apks. I have never used it so... ymmv, but I have heard this is the best tool to do so.
Alternatively you can use xmlprint:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514412
This decompiles apks to text files, however it does it 1 by 1 and does not re-compile them into native bytecode, however at the same time since it's just one folder you may prefer this to apktool for decoding (but you still need apk tool to recompile them)
For CM6, instead of decompiling all of them, it may be better to just go grab the source for CM6. You can get that here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Hero_CDMA
This wiki also gives a howto for compiling the code afterwards. The upside is you can tweak CM6 to your liking. The downside is... compiling the whole thing.
If you find a fast easy way of compiling just the files you need, you can just merge them with your current cm6 install.
DO A NANDROID FIRST SO IF YOU MESS IT UP YOU CAN GO BACK!!!!!
Hope this helps man!
Hi all. I have found lots of good mods on this site and finally took the time to consolidate the ones I like into a single package. I also went through and colorized a lot of the notification bar icons. The file is too big to uplaod here, so I have provided a Rapidshare link. The following is included in the file:
1. Smooth Sense Icons
2. Additional colorized icons
3. 50% transparent notification panel
Please let me know what you think and/or if you like this. I have attached a couple of screen shots for your viewing pleasure.

I saw these first in the Virtuous thread as I am running 3.1 and was previously running incredible theme with older versions of virtuous and waiting for someone to do some themeing with newer framework. Are you using newer framework? Not that I'm sure it matters as this is not as extensive as the incredible theme in which it replaced lots of recently updated system apps.
But I do have a question for you. Any way to get rid of the location Icon which I have become use to not seeing in my bar? All though it is attractive.
And a couple of the icons like the headphones, headphones w/mic and tty are jumbled up just as they always have been in smooth sense. I had broght this to jeric's attention long before but was not worth correcting I guess.
Great work buddy!

No, it does not use the new framework. As I said, it is a something I put together with mods I use and like that are already out there. I am no expert on mods. I colorized the icons so it would look nicer on the phone. I can look into getting rid of the location icon, but if you want me to do this, please PM me and I will look into it. Thanks for the kind words.
Ok...here it is. I new too theming but I finaly created my first cm 6 theme to share with the community, besides a few minor tweaks it will be ready sometime this week. I ran into a problem I want to add a themed swiftkey apk for those of us who use it. I'm trying to make a black with blue glow. Now I successfully edited the png's via gimp but I ran into a problem some png's are indexed layered png's. I can't colorize them. I looked everywhere I could think of but could not find directions on how to edit those types of png's. Could someone send me a link on how to do this or just give me some pointers. If I posted this in the wrong forum...my bad I just figured I would ask here since it has to do with a theme. Anyways...I'd appreciate it.
Set the mode of the image to rgb then when your done editing set the mode back to indexed... in gimp.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks man I'll try that out.
Yea...that worked perfect only thing is when I press a key the keyboard force closes but I think I might not have switched the mode back to index on a couple. Thanks again.
Shouldnt matter... indexing is a way to optimize a png. What your doing is taking the colors and applying a 255, or less, color palette.
Your fcs might be that you ruined the 9patch pngs you can't edit these in gimp or ps it ruins the 9patch information... if you want to edit a 9 patch de compile the apk first then edit, leave the outside 1 pixel border untouched, then re compile it.

Could someone help me in the right direction to port over certain fetures from other roms.
I want to get notication quick button on drop down bar.
Whats the best to change pngs in framework-res.
how do you edit frame jar files?
GB roms still have glitches and so does hc. So i figure id stay with froyo which works and theme it as much as possible to make it better.
thanks
i can update first post once i have results so other can use my themes
any help on this from anyone?
newbe5 is the theme master if you can find him. Plus you might be better off asking in here.

Alright, I have the latinIME.apk and I'm actually about to post a link from DB.
All I really am asking for is some color mods (There were alot in the HTC Hero sections) and since I upgraded to an Evo, I really miss it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to work on keyboard mods for android 2.3.3 and up if you get it working, I would love you forever.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Mo... (Such as keyboard and system UI/LatinIME.apk
is the link for the keyboard.
The mod I'm looking for is the letters on the keys changed. Thanks alot guys.
Here is a kitchen you can use to make your own its really simple.

The color code for it is 0DF7FF which is a light blue. I used UOT to make a new theme for my phone and the color matches. FF0000 would be cool too.

any other details you want just the key colors changed? also weird question can i see a screenshot?
It appears the theme isn't wanting to take. >.> Screw you Evo >=( First time it's being disobedient with a mod I applied. I want a red one to match the minimal red keyboard in the HTC Hero Gingerbread keyboards in the forums posted by User7816
I switched to Honeycomb 3D because the theme zip I made is being a **** head.
I'll upload the theme zip and hopefully you can learn a little about it or even dare I say it: Find what's wrong lol.
The color for the first code is thiswhile the second one is this
Hopefully someone can do this, I would love to see it on my phone
