[REQ] Animation Time - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Can somebody do some kind of mod for the animation? It's slow and as I have used CM7 and CM7-based ROMs, there was as an option for how fast the animation would happen. I think the community would really appreciate one. Samsung devices tend to have "slow-animation" and the mod really helps in changing it.
No rush or anything, just asking for one if it is possible without having to install ROMs and such. A flashable zip is fine. Thank you in advance.

What animation you mean? If you mean the UI animations like transitions between apps and window pop-ups, you can change those speed with "Spare Parts"

Didn't know it was on Google Play. Thanks. Haha.

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.

[Q] Boot animations. Anyone has any?

Hello Everybody
I was wondering if anyone has any nice boot animations for the SGS4G i am currently running Bionix Black ice By Krylon360 (KD1) I really like the teamwhiskey boot screen, but i am looking for more options and hopefully they're CWM flashable.
thanks in advance and any info on this matter it appreciate
y'all have a great day
google absolute system or look for it in the market. You can download quite a bit of animations from the phone itself. Then install it and reboot. The helix animation is sick! just need boot sound to match

Boot Animation?

So, now that we have a Kernel that supports custom boot animation-THANKS IMNUTS-I am curious about something?
Firs here is a thread XDAholic shared with me-thanks-that has a ton of custom boot animations...all credit of this is not mine-thank JaeKar99 for them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
my question is I realize that boot animation while having Voodoo enabled is a bit choppy. Is it for the custom animations as well? I notice some are choppy and some are not. Can others let me know how its working for them? From what I have read if its choppy due to Voodoo no one knows how to fix it yet.
What about being able to change the boot sound? Its still the stock sound even when I put the custom animation in?
Also, while we had the stock boot animation I like others used the boot animation changer app from the market and applied a new animation. Now while this didnt change the animation it did make the animation smooth. I wonder what it did to smooth it out? Anyone?

the laggy boot animation has something to do with the kernel, a bug perhaps but not necessarily due to lagfix/voodoo. imnuts said if you unzip one of those packages and drop the animation in /system/media or /data/local it should work... the stock droid animation will still be choppy as he doesn't know why or how to fix it but new different ones should work fine, as for the sound file it may need to be removed or replaced
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
Adding the bootanimation.zip files work perfectly, at least the few I tried, not choppiness like the standard boot animation
To modify the boot sound, you need to remove/replace the PowerOn.wav in system/etc.
It needs to be named with the capital P and O like above.

+1 does work for me too.. I know changing the boot animation seems like a small issue (I think the original Droid one is cool but it doesn't work right lol) but its nice to have options, THANKS IMNUTS
Only the stock animation is laggy with voodoo kernels. Custom boot animations run just fine.
ok can some one help me. I put new animation in data local, then system media. With no success. So then I deleted the stock one. Which on boot displays nothing, but can still here sound. Just want to change the animation. What does it take?
I got it

Ok, so I finally finished my boot animation and loaded it in with the proper coding and it is very choppy (media or local folder). I tried it with heavily compressed jpgs, and full pngs and it made no difference. It looks as if it is running at half the frame rate (or less). I designed it to run at 15fps (which is what everyone seems to believe the "15" means next to the "480 800" in the desc.txt file). I have no duplicate images to slow it down. Also chaning the number at top (15) to any other value causes the animation not to display.
I don't have a lot of pictures, no more than any other standard boot animation.
I do have a lot of folders though (11). What I discovered is that the second number that most people say doesn't do anything, actually indicates how long a single image, in its respective folder, displays, aka a pause. That comes in very handy in saving space, as you don't have to duplicate the same still image to create a pause.
All individule animations are in their own folders. What I could try is have two folders and manually create the pauses with duplicates, and reduce the resolution to compinsate for the size of the folders. I have a feeling it won't help though.
I'm running the Froyo TW4 version of Eclipse.

Any completely different rom

Do you know any completely different rom? Like miui for example! Lately I really get tired of roms that are just cleaned from bloatwares and everything else is same as the stock. Is it only miui and cyanogen that brings us original new futures? I wonder what is so custom and they call it custom rom. Is it so hard to take notification bar down or anything else and make it different and really custom? They must be sorted as custom and modified roms at least. Many of them are shown in screenshots with themes that not appear anyhow after flash. All we got is - + some apps and endless flashing process just to get back to our favorite. Really if some devs read my appeal please think about it. I am not sure but I guess is not impossible to add functions that stock roms don't have. Even if they seem not so usual surely will be appreciated. If someone know roms that are really different please let me know. Thanks!

After all, Android is Android, so you won't escape the notifications or the must-have apps (settings, etc.) The really only thing you can do is design an app that replaces the entire lockscreen, settings, laucher, app drawer, etc. To make it a ROM only feature would be .... a lot of work for nothing (as you can simple extract the APK and well... pirate it.
So ROMs are basically a window to the heart of the creator. It's their style, their apps, their child
R: Any completely different rom
Try paranoid android ROM, as far as i know it's the most customizable and you can use "tablet mode" to move the notification bar down etc.

How to Really Mod CM7 so you have ICS/JB on Your G2X - IT'S HERE!!!

For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!
Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.
I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.
Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d8g2bdll7i2jn3a/jv85IfKLeG
These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!
thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.

Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.
That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.
Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?
Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

Got it! IT WORKS!
However, the headings ("Wireless and Networks", "Interface", etc) aren't the nice cool blue color. How do I get that?
BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.
It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.

It's just a theme change. You shouldn't lose anything. Why, is there some tweak needed to play that game?
