[Q] Extract MotoBlur features for use in CM7 - Droid 2 Global General

Hi guys
I just got a D2G with Stock gingerbread BLUR ROM. But I prefer to use CM7 just like my Milestone. The question is how can I rip blur DIALER, CONTACTS APP, WIDGETS, MULTI-TOUCH KEYBOARD and other stuff and merge them with CM7?
Specially window animations in 2.3 stock ROM are very nice and I want to extract them and integrate with Cm7. As Kabaldan made an effort for screen rotation for Mileston, It is not actually resemble the original MAGNETIC effect. Anybody can help?

You cannot.
Blur applications depend on the Blur framework which is pretty low level in the OS.

Thanks. What about transition animations? I heard that they are presented with some kind of XML. Also, There was an app on the market that help making some changes to my Milestone transition animations.

Are there any Sense UI customizers?

Are there any apps out there to tweak Sense UI? Things such as reduce the number of screens, tweak the screen transition speed, colors, etc?
Thank you

In regards to the transitions -- you an app called Spare parts. To change the color of Sense and what not, this would have to done by theming (modifying) the exiting files and changing the colors.
I plan on creating a theme, but as of right now -- I'm in the process of creating a new bootscreen.
I don't think you can mess with the Sense UI very much. The # of screens is set in stone. If you want the sense UI feel, but want less homescreens, download LauncherPro Beta from the market. It allows for 3-7 homescreens, and they have that little bounce when swiping left and right. It also has the 3D app drawer (you must enable it in the settings). Not sure how ADW launcher compares to LauncherPro, but it has similar functionality, but looks a little more like the Froyo launcher on the N1.
Also, get Fancy Widget, which is an almost identical copy of the HTC flip clock with weather.
Also, Smooth Calendar is very close to the stock 1 X 4 calendar widget.
There is a 4G toggle on this board, so you can turn on/off the 4G radio in one click.
I don't miss HTC Sense one bit.
Thank you for the input. I found my self trying out Launcher Pro and love it! I appreciate the info

[Q] Port system apps from 1.6 to 2.1?

Hi!
Is there a way to port apps from the older Xperia 1.6 to the 2.1?
I absolutely loved the curved lockscreen, the contacts app, the dialler app, the notification bar and the simple-no-frills-gallery (the new 3d gallery app is all eye candy but doesn't open the pictures in full-resolution) on the older OS and miss them badly after upgrading them.
Is it possible to simply extract the APKs from a rooted 1.6 phone and replace them on a 2.1? Or any other workaround?

CM7 Clock and Calendar (want to use TouchWiz ones)?

Using CM7; is it possible to use the touchwiz calendar and clock apps and load them into CM7?
The alarm clock on the CM7 ROM is not as good as the Touchwiz one. The calendar is also a little better on the touchwiz vs. AOSP/CM7 one...
Does CM7 have touchwiz?
Nope, Cm7 is based on aosp, touch wiz is a samsung exclusive thing.
also there is an entire sticky devoted to cm7 questions. didn't really need a new thread...
tw widgets need tw launcher running even on stock roms. as far as the apps i think they need tw framework to run in the first place. not sure though. basically get over the aosp thing and hop on the jvb bandwagon. ideal and beliefs aside there are reasons that the whole comunity didnt flash cm7 and start building aosp spin offs. some the the touch wiz software is very user friendly and not quite as ugly as the aosp versions.

Will we ever see mutiple lockscreens?

Theres a lot for the captivate. Just wondering if we will see it on this phone

There's 3 different lockscreens for touchwiz which is why it was possible to port the other two that were different, then add the options to settings. Doubt they would work. Probably possible to make rotary and aosp- although it'd be a little more difficult to get them to switch in settings from the sense lockscreen since it uses a completely different way to show it. Sense uses an apk to to show the sense lockscreen- the lockscreen for touchwiz is in android.policy.jar
If you want different lockscreens that bad- cm7

Widget locker lets me have Six different styles of lock screen. Then there is the fact that I can customize the Icons for them and its almost endless..

cMIUI wifi calling.

Well I just migrated over from Gingerbread to cMIUI 2.4.7 and it's obviously a huge difference. I have some questions about the new platform that I hope someone can answer
How can I use wifi calling? It was pretty straightforward in GB 2.3.6
Attempting to use Voice Search in any way results in an FC. How can I fix this?
How can I enable the app drawer in the original miui launcher? I've had to resort to using ADW, which means I lose most of the theming and widgets of miui.
On the Miui launcher, how can I fix the background on the left side? It seems like the background doesn't "fit" because there is a black section to the left of the background image.
How can I have music controls on the lockscreen?
Please and thank you =D
