Transition Animations

What happened to them?
My g1 had some sick animations at one point, zoomed into apps when i opened them, and zoomed out when i closed.
Now that I got an evo 4g I can't seem to reproduce those effects.
It's not a "huge" deal, but having them certainly adds to the eyecandy factor.
I think i did it with an apk called dev tools..
I can't seem to find it, and spare parts only lets me changing the speed of windows animations and sideways shift animations.
Thanks!

i'm pretty sure its in spare parts... at least for nexus... is your phone rooted?

From what Ive read, all of the really neat effects have been dropped from the OS as of 2.01 onwards.
There is an app you can install called Spare Parts, which if you have 1.6 or below will allow you to turn on the animation effects of the screen rotate etc but it also points out that they just wont work in anything 1.6+
Atleast thats what I think, im no dev, just one man annoyed at the lack of eyecandy ;(

Did you try Home > Menu > Settings > Display > Animation? Make sure that you have "All animations" checked. That will at least get you started.

I have the "All animations" checked.
It's not that I don't have animations.
The window animation is set to slow in spare parts, which is step 1.
Step 2 is Transition animations, which only shows when going from one part of an app to another is also set to slow.
Step 3 and what I'm trying to accomplish here is the "zooming" animation when you open an app.
I believe the Droid has this, and I really miss it from my G1.
Why is it not here, and how do i get it back?
Almost forgot the auto-rotate animation.. That was cool as well..
Gingerbread or Android 3.0 will focus on eyecandy, supposedly, but until then at least some basic animations would be cool.
P.S. I'm not rooted, yet.

Turns out with launcherpro I get the desired animations. Is this part of the launcher? Or is sense blocking the OS level animations

The zoom animations unfortunately are not present in sense ui - thats why you see them when you use launcher pro.

I know what you're talking about. I got an HTC Legend, which has Sense UI but no Live wallpaper, then I flashed a patch file to get Live Wallpaper works on my Legend...and tada..I got "zooming in/out" effect also. Just dont know why And I'm not using any other launcher but Sense.

Remove Multiple homescreens???

I have Team Eos 2.0 installed on my Xoom and i want to remove multiple homescreens cause 1 is enough for me,is there any tweak or any way to do that?
I also would like to add this wallpaper:

as defaul without cropping it, because when im trying to put it i have to always crop it first so it fits in landscape and portrait mode and it screws all the quality of the wallpaper, any suggestions?

I don't think 7he ROM itself is set up for custom home screen counts. But you can download a replacement launcher like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Those are ICS ready and are favored by many. Both are free. Give em a spin

I was wondering the same thing you were, so I took Legatos suggestion and installed nova launcher to see what it does and it took care of the multiple homescreens and other little things.... but i kept having problems with my wallpapers resolution which always have from the start, like you. Try multi picture live wallpaper app. I really like the results. I tried it on the wallpapaer you provided, and considering it isn't optimized for xoom, i think it is turning out pretty good.... hope this helps you, it has me.

id also recommend multi picture live wallpaper, does the job nicely plus its free

I'll take a look and let you know what's up with it. Thanks for the reply.

Why in the HELL would you make it to were you can only use the tab in portrait mode, that is just plane STUPID!! I'm not about to install/pay for an app that will give me landscape mode.. I'm not about to "downgrade" my tablet. WTF is up w/Google anyway.. no text reflow, & now we have to look at photos & web pages like it's 1995!? :crying:
Sorry.. rant off, Phil B.
P.S. I tried CM10.. not a fan of the way it looks/runs!.. I just like all the "stock" Samsung apps & the way it's setup/looks..

Calm yourself.. hehe..
I think youve got yourself a bit mixed up or Im not understanding you, but the Galaxy TAB IS both portrait and landscape and unlike the Asus Nexux 7, the homescreen can even be landscaped. If your tablet isnt landscaping, goto home screen, bottom right hand corner where the clock is, press the clock and a control panel should come up, make sure "autorotation" is switched ON, in green. Im also sure theres a seting in the Settings menu to make it permanent Landscape, but it looks great in Portrait too for your kindle and KOBO apps and Newspapers.
Just turn it on its side and it rotates landscape.. you can even turn it upside down - samsung logo at the top and it keeps rotating..
Hope that helps

Would a custom launcher work like Apex?

Yeah the OP could try that or if your into your Widgets and Apps and custiomisation.. GO Launcher EX is nice as well and all launchers are free, its just the Skins and the High end apps you gotta pay for.

NightOrchid,
I've been reading that Jelly Bean (4.1.1) is "stuck" in portrait mode & to get landscape you have to install/use an app to get the screen to rotate!? I'm currently on ICS 4.0.4 UEBLH2 P3113 US Ver w/IR blaster, & use the tab strictly in landscape mode.
Anyway, I might check it out when our (USA) JB is leaked.. if it works & is faster & smoother than ICS I'll switch, if not.. :crying: lol
Later, Phil B.

Oh right, then Ive misunderstood it,I havent done alot of reading around on JB and I actually didnt realise that it had that limitation, i thought it was actually something that ASUS had done. Apologies OP., maybe Samsung might change that hopefully, like yourself Phil Im on the same XXBLH2 but for P3110 UK/ If this is the case, I might not consider JB, I like Landscape mode.

I think you could use cm10 (jelly bean) screen rotation work and try also go launcher HD for tabs or apex or nova screen rotation works good for me

The CM10 Rom for JB has a UI patch that will rotate the home screen into tablet mode with no problem and it works for the AOSP Rom. The AOKP Rom for JB has a setting in the ROM Control where you can force table mode. This works beautifully. I also like the Samsung apps and the widgets that make the tablet look more interesting. When the time comes that we can rotate our GT -P3113 stock Rom to tablet mode for the home screen then I will switch back to stock. As of now I am doing my daily with AOSP's new Rom that's running excellent.

I've tried a couple of different launchers....Ii would prefer the tablet mode where the notifications are at the bottom on the right hand side. Just a personal preference. I've owned a couple of tablets and have always did all my (tableting) in landscape mode. Now the whole experience has changed with flipping the tablet back and forth, I'm just not liking it. It's one of those small things that now that the light is shinning on it, it now makes a bigger difference than I thought in the beginning.

I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one who HATES the idea of using such a capable, conveniently sized device in portrait mode! Let's hope Samsung adds landscape to Touchwiz!?

[Q] AOKP Rom Help!!!!

Hello,
I am a total noob to the android/root community. I have an AT&T GS3 (SGH-I747) and I just rooted it. I've been using the Jedi Invasion ROM installed on my phone and love it!!! Then recently I changed to the AOKP 4.1.2 ROM and was instantly impressed. I love it! The only issue I am having is with the wallpaper. I do not like the wide screen scroll left/right wallpaper. I would much rather a stationary wallpaper that does not move. I have searched high and low between forums to see if there was a way to change the wallpaper to a stationary one. I know there are apps like Wallpaper Wizardrii that can perform these actions, but I wanted to know if there was a way to do that without having to use an app. The way i see it the less apps I have to back up with Titan backup the better while I switch between ROMS like the noob I am . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Request] Rotating Lock Screen

I remember someone posting a rotating lock screen here last year, with a minor bug that had the lock screen's landscape wallpaper stuck to whatever was in the apk. (If I remember correctly, the landscape wallpaper was a cornfield)
I think it was sir OptimusRS that made one.
I'm looking for it again so that it could match with the rotating homescreen by member kaanmete. That, and, I may have found a workaround for the landscape wallpaper.
Although, if anyone has the time, can someone please port the Jelly Bean lock screen instead? Like what kaanmete did with the home screen, weather widget, etc.

Heya,
the new nameless KitKat ROM (4.4.4) for our p920 has a "rotating" lockscreen. It is not supposed to be like that Id say, but it is "working". :highfive:
Feel free to have a look.

If it is running the LG UI 4, then it is supposed to be like that. Much like how other versions of the UI 3 are able to rotate the home screen (currently using a version by member @Impact7).
As excited as I am about this new rom, unless it's fully working, I'll stick to the official firmware and figure out how to do more things with just ICS (for now).
