I noticed there were fading window transitions in the new ROM that make it similar to the iPhone transitions that fade between screens. Is there any way to revert back to the regular sliding transitions or is it built into the ROM as an official 2.1 change?
[EDIT] Flashing stock rosie restored the stock transitions.
Give this a try. Push it to /system/framework/

i didnt dl to check but make sure you have window animations on in spareparts.
I do. before the 2.07 update the animations were the stock sliding ones. now they are the fading ones. the apk just turned on bouncy menus and kept the screen transitions. its not really annoying, I'm just wondering if it can be changed back.

i noticed that if you use regawmods themed, and flash the lwp patch, you get window transitions...tho no bouncy menus
could someone possibly make an update flash to activate bouncy menus and window trans?
that would be really kewl

The apk above activates bouncy menus.
I'm still wondering if there is a way to get the stock animations back though.

you will lose a LOT of the theme in RegawMOD 2.1 if you push that apk.. just an fyi.
What is changed in the apk to allow the animations? xml or smali? specifically...

You'd have to ask Gregalous
i have a link to a 1.5 update flash that activated bouncy menues and window transition (or bot, just set settings accoridingly) if someone wants to port.

Reg, the animations he wants are in anim in the framework-res.apk
They are easily transferable from older ROMs....just copy and paste the xml's.

I've asked a few people and searched like crazy with no real answer so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm running Calk's HD rom and it's awesome. I would just prefer a 4 row app drawer as opposed to the 5 it comes with. Is there an easy way to change this? I haven't been able to locate the setting in the rosie.apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What if you use adw launcher? You can change it from 3 to 8.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/adw-launcher/org.adw.launcher
Oh wait I think he is using adw, well then go to settings, adw launcher settings, screen preferences, under desktop layout change the Desktop Columns from 5 to 4.
Thanks. I'm referring to sense though. I should have specified. I know how to do it with adw and launcherpro. I wish it were that easy in sense.
Get to duh choppa!
ah crap, sorry
You need to decompile your Rosie.apk and change the "5" value in the all_apps_view.xml (its actually titled something like that) to a "4". Then you will need to recompile and flash.

Thanks so much. It looks like to do this the xml would need to be converted first or done with hex editing. Way beyond my skill. But I'm going to trying recompiling the apk using the all_apps_view.xml from a different rosie with a 4 app drawer. I'll post my results.
That didn't work. Not sure the setting lives there. The rom I grabbed the all_apps_view.xml file from has an opaque app drawer, calk's has transparent. After compiling the rosie with the new xml file and rebooting, I still had a 5 row app drawer but the background was opaque.

there are 3 changes to be made.... one is the one u were given already.
keep in mind that u MUST decompile cuz it changes things inside the resources.arsc file
the second one is inside values/integer.xml
change
Code:
<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>
to have the value 4 instead of 5.
and in values/dimens.xml change
Code:
<dimen name="all_program_grid_view_horizontal_spacing">1.0dip</dimen>
to have the value 6.0dip.
that should work.
good luck.
edit:
just saw u said u using the HD rom... i was referring to the a non HD rosie... so although it should still be the same thing, it might not be... so keep that in mind in case it wont work... but thats how u would do it for the regular Rosie.

Ok, that's a little over my head considering I don't even see the xml files you're referring to. I'm only able to play with what I can see by unpacking the apk using simple methods. Changing the all_apps_view file changed the drawer background, which is undesired. If I simply swap out the the full rosie.apk from the other rom, I can achieve the 4 row drawer with the opaque background but I'm looking to retain the translucent. So, perhaps it's easier to start with the other rosie with the opaque background and modify that to have a translucent background? Can using the original all_apps_view accomplish this or is there an easier way?

One of my biggest *****es about the themes available in theme chooser is no, matter what, MOST (not all) leave the 4G icon on the status bar that lime ass green. Is there a step by step guide on how to make a custom theme for the NS4G? I am pretty pro at CS5 and have DW as well to exit the XML files, this is something I would be pretty confident in doing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys (and gals).
Here's a guide for the Theme Engine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964391
I think, but am not certain, that if you wanted to make a flashable zip, you can grab SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from you ROM and use apktool to decompile SystemUI
In cmd:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d SystemUI.apk
Then you look for the Wimax images, should be something like
stat_sys_data_wimax_signal_0.png
Of course there will be different values representing the different states of connection.

I ran into a major issue last night.
This was REALLY pissing me off, you know one of those things that SHOULD be working but isn't. Whenever I view the decompiled apk (framework-res, and systemUI)
The files are decompiled everything looks correct, but when I open the image files in cs5 they look all blurry as hell. I have attached some screenshots. Make any sense to anyone?

Understandable. New things take time, but I have time to do it and start making all kinds of crazy themes, but just curious why the images would show up that way once they were pulled into PS. Its not just that image, its all the images. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or even prevent it from happening?

I just answered u on G+ , but go grab Paint.NET http://paint.net/
With the pngs that are giving you problems (hopefully u haven't saved them in photoshop.. grab the originals), open them in Paint.NET first, save, then open them in photoshop. Almost always works for me.
So, currently I have the (I think..) AOSP lockscreen. It looks nice and all, but I find myself missing the ability to be able to open my text messages directly from the lock screen. I found it extremely useful... I could go back to the default Froyo lockscreen, which of course has the functionality I would like, but I was wondering if there are any others around with the functionality I want, but with a... cooler? look? =]

you would have to edit xmls in framework and add pngs to get what your looking for. widget locker etc are good but dont communicate with our ticker well

Sorry, I thought you were asking how to get back to the stock lockscreen. I guess I didn't read the OP right.
This guide assumes you already know how to use apktool and use latest 1.52 version. If you don`t, there are plenty of guides already on XDA.
Latest Sense 5 com.htc.resources.apk and apktool are not great friends. Actually there is a long history of compile issues with this file, but also I managed to fix it usually in the past. I stumbled about some theme threads, who were correctly complaining, that they can`t fully finish their work, since many essentially stuff in HTC`s framework can`t be themed, since com.htc.resources.apk can`t be compiled and as a result many color themes remain incomplete.
So I had a quick look and here is the workaround, which is tested and works.
For those having other apktool issues, it also might pay off looking in my One S apktool issues thread, maybe you will find some ideas to solve other problems.

brut for his awesome apktool
hdneuling for being a great tester and guy
1. First thing you will recognize, when decompiling the "nice" way, apktool will miserably fail. So let`s be the bad guy and brute force decompile
2. Decompile com.htc.resources apk with the following:
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar d --keep-broken-res com.htc.resources.apk com.htc.resources-decoded
This ignores all errors and decompiles the apk
3. Since the real issues here in reality are only very minor dimens decompile problems, you can now simply delete all unneeded folders with an ERR at the end.
4. Make all necessary edits
5. Now compile the apk as usual, there are different ways to do it - I compile with
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar b com.htc.resources-decoded
6. Flash and enjoy your work
Good job
Had to look into it, Helmut was desperate
Great Job, and o.k., feeling guilty now :silly:

One thing we noticed when putting together our tranquility rom was that any com.htc.resources, sense 4 and after, was that even when it could be decompiled it was better to hex edit. It caused issues with the rom. The dialer and battery life were affected. There were other performance issues also.

Yep font size was stuck at medium aswell no matter what we set it to
i´m running a pretty heavy edited com.htc.resources.apk on my One since yesterday and didnt notice and afaik he_stheone did the same since yesterday.
Of course we have to have a look at "maybe problems", but it´s good to have a solution to de/compile it now i think

Hi Fernando, we will watch behavior going forward on Sense 5. So far we still could not find negative side effects. But we surely keep an eye on it.

Nice work, thanks for sharing. Have to say, you and Helm are really blazing the way with One theming!
Did try this approach with the Sense4.5 resources, could never get the apk to compile after deleting the _ERR folders, but I'll definitely give it a try with Sense5

First off, Nice find!! So far the only ill effect I'm noticing is the fonts in settings/display, gestures and buttons doesn't function properly. it changes the font size in certain areas but not system wide like it should. this is the same error we had before, and maybe its because im using the port rom for Evo LTE. I'm looking into it but we couldn't find a resolve for this before.
double post.

Just to confirm, this is also the case on the One ROMs themselves as well, not just limited to ports.
To see it clearly, just go into Settings/Display, Gestures and Buttons, and try flicking between small and extra large fonts. When you go back out into the main Settings menu, the font size doesn't change as expected.
Did try to get around this by compiling the images, and dragging them into the stock resources apk. If you do this without renaming some of the 9.pngs back into r.9.pngs, you get SysUI FC, and a messed up lockscreen. With those corrections made, everything boots fine, but Dialer FCs and several Settings menu options also FC.
Next thing to try is using villaintheme to insert the altered pngs directly on-device....
Edit: yup, using villaintheme seems to give the best result. No app FCs and no text resizing issue. Just means we still need to hex edit to change any of the values xmls.
At least the recompile workaround gives us a way to easily test resource edits. Thanks again for the heads up!

no problem, Ive dug in settings and com.htc.resources and see no link in the two. Not arrays, dimens, nothing. all the arrays and sizes for the different fonts are in settings so i dont understand why that would be affected. If i find afix/workaraound ill post it here.
Noticed the fontsize-problem before de/compiling com.htc.resources.apk too, dont know if it works on Stock because i never booted Stock ^^
Besides this, my edited com.htc.resources.apks are still working without problems, even with ROMs based on 1.29.401.1/2
