If anyone can provide me with an update.zip for the scaling transitions that works on the new sprint build 2.1 roms (I'm currently using Fresh 2.0d) it would be greatly appreciated.
All I have found are zip's that change my taskbar and other icons..
I would prefer *just* the transitions..
Thanks!
welp. guess not? lol
if you are talking about the fade in/out transition animations (like iphone), try this one.

Close lol I'm looking for something like the zip that treve made except I just want the effects (fade/zoom in/out) w/o *any* changes to my taskbar/pulldown or other graphics.
I know I'm being picky, but I like the stock look.
Thanks though

You're not gonna get just the animations without the taskbar changes in an update zip because both of those are in one apk. If someone were to make a metamorph it would work.

Got ya.. so it would have to be a zip with the transitions & the stock taskbar/graphics or a meta w/ the effects...
I guess I'll have to wait for some kind soul to whip one up haha..
patience. kitchen is coming.
edit: in the mean time, if you hook me up w/ a link to the exact theme you want, I'll hook YOU up with the animations you want. But I'm not going searching.
It's simply the stock theme, I'm on fresh 2.0d and that is just stock with espresso bottom bar. No changed icons or graphics, just the plain Sprint 2.1 leak.
If that helps? lol

nandroid first before trying!!! but you can try some of the animation metmorphs on this post, and it shouldn't change any thing like your taskbar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589315&highlight=metamoprh
not 100% sure if they will work on 2.1, but should. Let us know if you try how it went... AND NANDROID!! you can't undo the morph if it breaks it
Ok, I admit it, I went back from Cyanogen 6.0 to a Fresh Sense UI to update my PRI and get another taste of the 4G speed. I have no intention of this being a hater, fanboy post but wow, the Sense UI environment just does not compare to Cyanogen. Cyanogen is just so much cleaner, faster and user friendly. And now with the RC for 6.1, it is simply amazing. I felt like the phone was lagging a bit under the Sense UI and felt over wrought with some silly interfaces.
I felt obligated to post this to 1. congratulate and thank Team Douche for an amazing AOSP that i never really fully appreciated until I regressed and 2. sincerely invite all of you Sense users to give Cyanogen a try. Again, I am no Android fan boy, just a guy who stumbled into XDA, thought this Rooting thing sounded interesting and gave Cyanogen a try. Now I am a very satisfied user.
I know the lack of 4G is a big deal and I do miss the speed but hopefully this will be resolved soon and when it is, I think Android will take a major step forward again.
Meh, glad you found what you like. I use a rom that had 4g and I've removed sense from it. I don't lag at all. And yes, I've run CM6, installed 3 different times. It offers nothing that a 4g rom with sense removed does. Well, besides the obvious: no 4g, horrible picture gallery, worse battery on average.
To each their own.

/shrug i dont think anyone really cares im sure most flash roms like changing socks
You are probably right, no one cares but as Pao23 said "to each their own." And although XDA users are flash happy most Android users are still stock. I am just sharing an experience that might give someone some confidence in finding an option that might work better for them.
I wish I could run Cyanogen full time... But I use my phone for work email (exchange) and the aosp email client is horrible compared to the sense version. You can't even view the GAL on aosp, just a background lookup and resolve. On sense I can pull up the GAL and call a person directly through the company directory. I also love the copy paste features of sense as well. Full support for email tagging, way better calendar and meeting handling just to name a few. I guess I just expect a higher level of exchange support because of my prior WM experience and I know I am likely in the minority for big time exchange use.
Until someone figures out how to at least port the email over, or the aosp email client gets a huge makeover I'm stuck on sense.
I loved cyanogen... only reason I went back to sense is because of how much better the contact app is organized. I couldn't figure it out on aosp... but with sense I can manually sync my contacts rather than let the fb app try to get my contacts. That and other features of the sense contacts app. Wish i could figure it out
I didn't think about it, but I use my company directory through exchange quite often a well. I manage construction so am in the field generally.

The Cyanogen RC 6.1 released today is supposed to contain enhancements to the mail client but to what extent I don't know as I don't use it. I can see how that could be a big limiting factor for you guys.

Not so automatic but: Edit contact, hit menu, choose join. First name, last name, email, etc. one of those have to be similar.

I think 4G is just a total battery waster, so I never even used it when I was on a Sense ROM. In my book, if you want to know the difference between a Sense ROM and CM6.1, just take LauncherPro and hit "restart LP" in the settings. In CM6.1 it takes about a second for it to completely load up. On Sense ROMs it takes anywhere from 6-10 seconds for everything to completely load. This is just unacceptable to me.

Just did it, took a little under 2 seconds.
Not to mention sitting here at my desk at work, using my phone as wifi so the IT guys can't see what Roms/kernals I download, I'm putting out 4g wifi rather then crappy Sprint 1mb/s 3g wifi.
Install said sense rom, remove sense, done.

I just have the one row of icons on each page plus the littles like Bwidgets, search, control bar. I've never loaded my screens up because I don't like the look, but I'll put a bunch on there and see how it does and get back to ya.
What all widgets just so I know and can try to imitate? I run 5x5 too.

Nevermind, you pay for too much stuff.
As a question though, I've never found myself restarting my LP before now, why do you do it often enough to actually influence your Rom choice?

It does it on its own because I use so many awesome memory-hogging widgets. It's just like 2 or 3 times a day while I'm using another app or something.

most of HTC stock .apks require the HTC Sense framework. It's very unlikely to get it working correctly.

Its just not gonna happen. Sorry. sense is closed source. If htc would open up the source, we could do all sorts of amazing things, but we got nothing until they do.
I was playing with this .apk last night, I couldn't even edit the .pngs. After pushing it back to the phone, it just disappears as a widget. .. What a bummer
http://www.androidcentral.com/spb-shell-3d-android-very-slick-launcher-thats-just-too-expensive
So, I bought lol
It's AMAZING. Very smooth, great transitions, and 9 full homescreens! You can even put more than 9 on if you want to, lol
I'm on Warm 2.2 now, but this is so good that, as a Sense fan (Sense was the reason I bought this phone), this is seriously pushing me to a Gingerbread ROM like CM7. Give it a try!
PS- I am in no way connected to the developer(s) of this software. I just love it
i installed it on my OG droid but it is just a black screen....no luck
Ouch, 15 bones.....looks neat, but not for that much $$. Going to stick with LPro until this puppy comes down in price.

I did see in the comments on the link that someone posted a link to the apk... not gonna advertise for warez but if you want to try it out i you *could* try it from that and if you like it buy it... I bought right after I saw the video, so I can't even confirm that it works
Something that concerned me when watching the video is that this launcher looks like a lot of flash and bling, but maybe lacking on some other areas of basic functionality. From reading the comments (in the original link) of people who have used it, there seems to be confirmation of my fears.
People are complaining about lacking certain basic features like widget resizing... or this:
Not to mention the fact that you can't arrange icons and widgets the way you want to. If you want anything on the bottom row, the top 3 rows have to be full

I'm not sure I fully understand that statement, but in general it sounds like this launcher is optimized to show off its own animations/widgets.
I don't want to pay $15 for this, nor do I want to download warez. So for now, that means I can only judge based on videos and comments. From my impressions though, it looks like switching over would cripple a number of functions that I find very useful in other launchers. In return, I would get some admittedly cool animations, and some visually interesting UI changes, but I don't see any functional enhancements that really interest me.
At the end of the day, I'm very much a "form follows function" kind of guy, so I suspect this just isn't the launcher for me. I'm sure it will be great for many other people though.
I their version for winmo, it was nice, but not for me. Im like the last guy, i like fuction looks. The whole thing with different launchers is to configure what you like. Maybe im just s simple guy, but this launcher looks like something kids will enjoy, i prefer the smart, in smartphone.

Doesn't work on GingerBread?
played with that earlier mentioned version (cough *warez* touchy subject) a little bit (only lets you run it if you turn mobile data off so it is pointless) and it was cool.
a lot of 'wow' factors that look good but it isn't very functional. launcherpro+ blows it out of the water as far as quick and easy getting to apps & widgets.
I got the spb shell 3d today and omg i am amazed at how smooth it runs and how it barely waists battery. i hated that i couldn't put apps wherever i wanted but then i downloaded desktop visualizer and customized it however i wanted.
btw i have an evo 4g and i am running cm7 nightly #41 gingerbread with savaged-zen 1.0.1 bfs nosbc kernel. (AMAZING!!!!!) ^_^

Is there any way to get the stock news/weather app/widget on the MT4G's stock sense? You know, the stock android one that has top stories and weather? I can't use the cute flip clock widget for weather anymore - it looks cool, but I like to have a more detailed weather report than just high/low temp. The stock weather has more info and a great UI, plus I'd like to save screen space and use it for my news also.
Anyway, any way to get it?

Those widgets are built on the sense framework. You must be using a ROM that is Sense based to get it.

I believe you are talking about the genie widget, its the google news/weather app. I have it on my stock t-mo rom, pulled it from cm6 and just installed it like any other app.

Lol, hilarity ensues. Do you just like start a new account every few days? Thanks for the helpful post.
Er... The OP asked if it is possible to get stock Android widgets on a phone using Sense ROM. Most answers seem to focus on the completely opposite issue: "You can't run Sense widgets under stock Android ROM". Why? Does anyone actually read the questions these days?

Yes we read. even someone with a Sense ROM said "I don't know what widget you are talking about".... so it must be something different that what Sense has....
i wish we were all perfect like you.
And yes you can run AOSP .apk's on Sense's framework.
To the OP here it is; if you are talking about the one in my attached picture....you can download it from here.

I have Fancy Widget version 1.3 that I believe they pulled because it looked too much like HTC sense flip clock and weather widget...it's flippin' identical (pun intended). Look for Fancy Widget version 1.3 apk and that will get your clock and weather widget...when you click on the weather it brings up a 4 day forecast and gives you the option to bring your browser to your favorite weather website...wouldn't leave home without it!
