Transition Animations custom blend (with video)

Taken from here. I spent several hours today along with Idkwhothatis123 (from xda here ) blending fold, fly-in and bounce to get it how we liked it I'll make an flashable zip for people upon request because everyones framework will be different with themes/roms etc.
this is a link to a zipped anim folder you can replace by
This is no longer necessary unless you would rather use adb. there is a metamorph file attatched download that and put on the root of your sd and download metamorph from the market its free
Code:
adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then open up the res.apk with your choice archive manager. Replace the /framework-res.apk/res/anim folder with the one I've provided.
Reboot into recovery and
Code:
adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb push yoursdk/tools/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
I hope this makes sense and you guys like it

I really like this combo. Nice work!

I've been trying to get the fade in/out animations from aosp to work with sense, but it won't seem to work.
Any suggestions?

I am a N1 user with MIUI ROM..
Can you give me those files only(from anim folder) which you have modified? If I replace the whole folder, then it stucks on bootloop..
Also the lockscreen of MIUI is different, so please dont give me the files which has animations for the lockscreen..
Thanks..

[LIVEWALLPAPER] ORIGINAL Livewallpapers.apk Nexus S

New port. It's the LiveWallpapers.apk from Nexus S, the ORIGINAL. Very smooth and zero problems. Had to decompile and fix some lines.
Back up and Delete your original LiveWallpapers.apk Then Push to /system/app with the usual permissions. Enjoy.
Screenshot:
Link: Livewallpaper Nexus
APK attached if the Mediafire link fails.

Thanks for the upload! I know this is random, but where's that Music icon from? Is that the gingerbread one? If not, do you mind sharing it?

1 Problem
I did the backup
Then using root explorer copied that apk from my sdcard folder to my system/app and rebooted but it doesn't work!
I have a rooted N1 with the latest froyo build.
Update 1: I also tried to install that apk package directly from the system file and it says "Parse error" There is a problem parsing the package"??
Update 2: Also tried push via ADB but still no dice

I didn't get it to install too, I think he forgot to edit the manifest for froyo like with the microbes wallpaper.
Try this normal apk, created from the OP's port.

Oh yes, my build.prop has the sdk set to 9, thats why i didnt notice it. Adding to OP when i get to the comp. Its not intended to install like a normal apk.

New version with a lot of fixes:
manifest edited to sdk 8(2.2), cleaned a bunch of lines related to the other LWPs
deleted unnecesary files from raw and xml folders
optiPNG applied to reduce size
classes.dex cleaned
package name changed to com.android.nexuss
signed and installable. Thats all.

Can I install this without having root access?

Last version works with unrooted phones(supporting LWPs) without problems.

Thanks alot works perfect on desire.

Oh dear God, I think you may have answered something I have been wrestling with for a while. If I use the recovery flash method rather than pushing the files with adb, will the theme also include the new custom lock screens?

I just tried to flash my downloaded UOT .zip and now i've got a bootloop.
Do i just make it the same way as i would if i was pushing the -res and UI .APKs to the phone?

You have the recovery? You don't open the zip file and extract it, but put the archive.zip in the directory of the sd and flash it as a zip.

What's recovery? Where can I found it? Sorry, total noob on this..

I think i might be a professional idiot. I know what i was doing wrong.

Miui extended settings mod *help*

The three ES zips currently do not work because of the flash error "" Installing update.. Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockwork Mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting(updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted."
I've already asked raver but he's busy so I don't want to bother him any longer. So is anyone willing to instruct me or help me to make the ES zips flash-able so that the MIUI control extended settings apk can work?
Raver's miui settings extended zip down below but it doesn't really change the fact that the ES zip wont flash. So I'm wondering if I should take the update script and Binary from his and place it in the ES zips. Help me out please.

Unsigned zip files are fine for CWM. It's unsigned APKs that might not work.
EDIT
You're using older CWM zips. Are you sure you want to do this? They're using amend scripting which to me suggests that they're REALLY old. Where'd you get them from?

I'm supposed to flash the ES_zips and then use the extended settings apk, but the ES_zips are too old. Raver said it was easy, but I don't understand his professional ways . I still want to do this if I knew, if this works, people who enjoy changing up their miui look for the gs4g would have an extra something . Can you help?

+1. You can just download the zip and push the files yourself. Make sure you set execute permissions on the files you replace though.

I'm really not getting what you guys are saying.. I'm really slow at these things So do I extract the EScenter.zip and take out the system and META-INF files and push it via file explorer?

Oh, I'll try it and let you know. THANKS I know I sounded stupid but my brain seems to function slowly on stuff like this.

I made this CWM zip that I haven't tested yet.
Tell me if it works for you, but like I said the files are old and you might wind up bootlooping.

Pushing the files didn't do anything nor did your zip. :/ The miui control panel doesn't change anything ( If were to change the clock to center it stays in place ) Nothing changes like its supposed to for example, clock centering, carrier changing, or battery hiding. Sigh .______.

How to customise APK's Images [EASY]

First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...

hah great tip for us
thanks

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.

Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk

you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.
