[Q] MotoBlur screen rotation animation - Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps

Hi!
Is it possible to make an animation in CM7 like this one showed in video bellow in 0:26 when the screen is rotating?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgPdSKLAPGc

Animation in Blur 2.3 very sexy.
I hope someone can port it to our milestone.

Id really appreciate if someone would port this. ive been looking for this for ages..

Any news about this? Has this been ported to other phones/roms?

No news about it. I've been searching for some clues in GB rom for Defy, but I don't even know where to search for it (I mean: what file can do that, it's is probably somewhere in framework-res or coded in .jar)

Screen animations should be in the launcher while windows animation are in framework-res.apk. Try using the animation xml files in /res/anim folder. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try.

I've tried it, but I can't compile framework-res (with both - apk-tool and apk-manager). There are some problems with NinePatch files (HO!NO! CM7 mod framework).

No need to decompile. Just copy paste using 7zip.

Okay, I've done it and the phone hangs on bootanimation, so it will probably doesn't work.

@adamz667: Can you send me framework-res.apk from this ROM?

Absolutely Here you've got even more - complete framework folder, hope it helps

Opps, before I forgot: blur-framework-res.apk should be renamed to framework-res.apk, because I've changed its name to prevent mess.

Are we getting any more developments, or is this dead?
really wanted to see this

Now I'm downloading sources of CM7. Later I'll try to compile CM7 framework with animations from GingerBlur. Maybe it will works.
Edit: Oh, I think that animation is also included in Honeycomb, so maybe I'll look into its framework.
Edit2: In Honeycomb framework there are xml files with rotate animations, but just adding them to GB framework doesn't do anything. I think it need to be coded somewhere, but I don't have a needed experience to do that and I can't find any clues where can be needed file.
If somebody know how to do it, please share with us.
Edit3: Okay, I've got some idea, but I need time to mess with xml files and code.

Mendozinas of UOT Kitchen tried to extract the animation from this framework, I test it but it's doesn't work!
Are you sure that there is the rotation animation in this framework?
Maybe is this animation not only in framework?

I think that it need to be coded in Animation.java. I've got rotate animations from Honeycomb and idea how to implement it in GB, but don't have a time now to do that.

I've been having a look at the this particular animation and trying to get it working on HTC Sense (i don't own a moto device). If i get it working on my rom then it should be easy to get it working on the Droid. I have a few ideas, however i need to know which xml file in the anim folder is responsible for the animation. Check in framework-res.apk/res/anim. I think it may be the "loupe" xmls.
If we pinpoint this, then i can have a look in the framework.jar file and see if i can patch things up.
I should mention, im still a noob at this stuff so don't get your hopes too high

Every animation should be also defined in java. Android should know which animation must be played when eg. we open new window. So we need to define screen orientation change and assing to it animation.
Example:
Code:
private OnClickListener mZoomListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Request the next activity transition (here starting a new one).
startActivity(new Intent(Animation.this, Controls1.class));
// This is a more complicated animation, involving transformations
// on both this (exit) and the new (enter) activity. Note how for
// the duration of the animation we force the exiting activity
// to be Z-ordered on top (even though it really isn't) to achieve
// the effect we want.
overridePendingTransition([B]R.anim.zoom_enter[/B], [B]R.anim.zoom_exit[/B]);
}
};
R.anim.zoom_exit is a "link" to animation in /res/anim/zoom_exit.xml

Yes i understand, but which xml is responsible for the animation? We can't get anything started until we find out which are the xmls.

Xmls are the smallest problem We can just copy it from Honeycomb SDK or write by ourselfs, it's not complicated.
Biggest problem is with java code which will activate the animation

there was a similar animation like this in 1.5 which could be activated through spare parts but it got removed from android -.-
perhaps u guys could look there in the sdk for something to port. it was there already anyway.
also adobe reader has a nice flip animation when turning screen afaik, but it is not OSS so i think it is of no use.
would love to see this too but i'm no dev.

battery mod

Hello,
I found this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
and I have some questions about this :
1) Is it possible to "tweak" our framework-res.apk with this battery mod.
2) Can I use this method to "tweak my framework-res.apk : http://circle.glx.nl/
3) When I download my new framework-res.apk, how to boot on recover mode on the phone to put the framework-res.apk on the system ?
4) Do you know an other easylier method to tweak icons on the HD2 under android ?
Thanks a lot !
+1 I asked myself to but no time to seach forum
@Karlichon
What is with this batmod? Are you done with them?

Ok I think I'll answer this, but bear with me as it's NOT easy or for the faint of heart. If you read this and you DO NOT feel comfortable I would recommend you not giving this a go.
Before you start ANY of these steps below, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE REPLACING THEM. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED FOLLOWING THESE STEPS! You have been warned.
1) Visit the website above and run through the steps to get the battery images you want. For the purposes of this tutorial/howto I am not covering how to change anything else (KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid).
2) The easiest ones to change are the Version A-I ones, just choose which battery set would work best for you on your phone and click "Next"
3) Choose "Do not include icons" and click next. The icons it is talking about here are the signal, wifi, usb etc notification bar icons and as I mentioned I will not cover how to change those here.
4) Leave "Do not change notification status bar" selected and click next. Again I'm not covering that here.
5) You can choose a different boot anim if you want, they are very easy to upload to your phone and you can figure out where they have to be put yourself with no problems. IMPORTANT: If you do change the boot animation, make sure you choose the correct type of rom you have from the dropdown selection.
6) Upload your existing framework-res.apk (using something like DroidExplorer, navigate to /system/framework and paste it onto your desktop, then upload here). This will update the relevant files in your framework-res.apk automatically. (If you cannot obtain your existing framework-res.apk I cannot guarantee method 2 will work, sorry but feel free to try)
7) Replace your framework-res.apk (via DroidExplorer or your chosen ADB browser) on your phone and reboot. Voila!
This worked for me on shubcraft 2.0 drop mode but obviously I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. Please remember my warnings above that this is not guranteed.
hello, thanks for your quick help, but it doesn't work for hyperdroid rom V1.7
any idea ?

there is another far more complicated way around it, but it really does take about half an hour to work out.
Basically, you need to get your framework-res.apk and extract it with winrar or something similar (an apk is basically just a zip file) and find the folder called res/drawable-HDPI. this is where all the icons for things like your battery icons live.
Copy and paste the new icons from someone elses framework-res or even one you download from the website above into this folder and replace the drawable-HDPI folder into your framework-res.apk, replace it onto your phone and reboot.
Again, this is a quick description of a much lengthier way of doing it but it does work. Also, my disclaimer in the post I made before still stands, do this AT YOUR OWN RISK and do NOT complain to me if something breaks. If you don't fully understand, don't do anything.
I tried the kitchen method, but I receive a huge error log after uploading the framework apk
is the page currently partly down?

It doesn't seem to work all that well with frameworks from our current modded builds. I've tried it with a rooted desire framework (from my gf's desire) and that worked. Evidently all the work that the devs do on our hd2's make them very different to other android builds. the second method I posted (adding the png's to your existing framework) works perfectly.

This method will not work with the battery icons which shows all 100% increments. This method will only work for the standard battery icons, which only involves like 12 battery icons.
In order to add the 1% increment readings in the battery, it involves modifying xml files to read and associate the correct battery icons at each increment.
can you give a tut how to add the version a manually?
nvm, I got it!

[Metamorph] Various window animations

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for anything bad happened to your phone after you install this window animation mod
Install this mod at your own risk!!!
Don't forget to nand backup your phone before installing this mod.
Got bored of same window animation?
Here are some window animations I gathered from various sources on Internet, made them to work with metamorph so one can change window animation easily.
Instructions:
Download and install Metamorph
Download attached zip file, save to sdcard in directory '/sdcard/AndroidThemes'
Run Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract new theme", you need to allow superuser permission
Select a zip file
After metamorph finished extracting theme, close the prompt and hit Apply all. The phone will reboot
Note:
Your phone may reboot several times
If your phone doesn't reboot, take battery out, put it back, and power on
To revert back to original window animation, get zip file on post #7
Does this work on rooted, non-deodexed, stock rom
I guess it will work.
But to be safe, nand backup first please.
u shud also include the "stock animation" u know wat i mean the default animation in case someone wants to fall back
also, can these animation be extracted and merged with framework_res?

Nice find!
mmm... perhaps Metamorph better in term of price and Metamorph can handle various things such as lock-screen, boot-animation, etc., not just window animation
Do you know what the phone signal icons are that the stock Optimus V uses in the notification bar? I look in framework-res and the stat-sys-signal-#'s there are all 4-bar icons, yet the icons that my phone uses are 6-bar.

hhhmm no blur? i always see these samples, but still no blur....
-----------------
ok i finally merged the blur animation to my Nessy Fenice framework-res...
and this one looks better for minimalists like me.
not too fancy animations, tho i find it majority of the window animations on BLUR is just zoom in and out.
the only blur animation i can see is the MENU sliding up with blur effect and a little bounce after that.. cute.
tho after that, its all zoom in and out. hhmmm.. i hope other transitions also have those blur effect.
Any vids for the OTHER animations? Mabe a link to the mod's source?

Wow, thanks. Works perfect on my O1 and without flash anything
I cant install the original animations! The phone keeps isntalling, and if i remove the battery, it reverts to the custom animations!

Nice! Thanks for the hard work
good work gan

[BOOT ANIMATION] CyanogenMod 9

Hi guys I extracted the CyanogenMod boot animation from the ROM itself, and my oh my it looks wonderful! I attached it below. To install, simply after downloading it and placing it in a comfortable location, copy it, go to system>media, and paste it there It should overwrite your current boot animation and replace it but if it does not, simply just paste the CM9 boot animation there and delete the old one I tested it only on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Works perfect. Enjoy! And remember this is made by the CM9 team not me, so give them the credit. I'm only sharing their awesome boot animation to the community and not stealing their work
Edit: OH YES I recommend that you guys use Root Explorer to copy and paste the boot animation! Cause that what I used But if you have any other alternatives that you think might be better or you are more comfortable with, please share it or use it at your own risk
you might wanna see what ive done see in my signiture at the buttom click > bootanimation< ull gonna like it 100% sure

Hi!
I changed the boot animation of my Galaxy S i9000 using the app "Boot Animations * root" from the Play Store.
I took a very cool one but its getting really nasty after a while and I want to rechange it to the default animation but don't know how . Already tried what you wrote: place the .zip in the media folder and I deinstalled the app because I didn't know where to find the boot animations. Then I restardet my phone but it still didn't change the boot animation.
sry for using the word 'boot animation' that often
Hope you can help me

Try looking in /data/local
If there's a bootanimation.zip in there it'll override the one in /system/media (which is kinda useful for keeping animations across upgrades when no data wipe is involved.)

You were right, this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523703 works well.
I actually never sign SystemUI.apk nor framework-res.apk, never had a problem with that, so you can skip that part.
Try APK Multi-Tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151
and don't forget to drop framework-res.apk into Apk_Multi-Tool\other
next open Command prompt and navigate to that folder
type
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
and you should be ready to de- and recompile.
Attached is 100% transparent and 50% transparent. (have not tested 50% though)

Thanks man I'll definitely try with this & let you know & many thanks for the modded zips(till I learn how to manipulate SystemUI.apk successfully my leo can enjoy it!:highfive::highfive::highfive! Thanks again.!
I found this guide too...!!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31785-co...ng-and-recompiling-jb-systemuiapk-jelly-bean/
& managed to compile the SystemUI.apk but still it results in absent status bar in either way of following
1. Replacing the original SystemUI.apk in the ROM with the modded one & installing the ROM(Tried both signed & unsigned versions)
2. After installing the original ROM & later replace the SystemUI.apk with the modded one with root explorer (Tried signed version)
But when I Edit the permission(with root explorer) of the modded SystemUI.apk copied to the system folder (As in 2nd method), as for other system apps it worked. :cyclops::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I cant understand in which step I made things wrong! In which step we manage permissions of an app while decompiling, compiling or modding.!
It'd be nice if somebody can direct me right.! Love to learn from XDA...!!!
Try above link...!!! Its originally for JB...!!!:laugh:

Permissions are set in the AndroidManifest.xml. (in the root folder of the decompiled apk)
Sometimes, if an app is asking for "wierd" permissions which i/it doesn't need i just delete those lines from that file.
But in your case, i don't know what happend.

Sorry Kameirus
but i can't help you with that either, i guess you would be better off downloading the jellybean source
and try to mod it that way or wait until somebody else does.
I don't think that those "smalis" don't exist, they are just named differently
and overall just different since it's a new android version.
My guess would be, if you want to add transparency you might want to look at:
SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\BaseStatusBar.smali
If you are going to learn a bit about smali, you could try Virtuous Ten Studio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619473
It makes smali's a bit easier on the eye and has a nice smali-guide within.

thanks
i saw that smali a little while ago when i was going thru the folders
ill look at it later after i get home
thanks for the tip
well no luck lol
but i did learn how to flash a backup blindfolded lmao
Ok I think I figured out whats the problem is with my compiling...!!!
When you run the compile it ask to replace every thing that not modified from the original. I chose "yes" earlier all the time! But when I select "no"
I could get a working SystemUI.apk even without zipaligning or signing.! :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Learning something everyday!

Regarding omnistyle theming

Hello I created custom header image to use with omnistyle. But I realised I need a full apk to get it work. There is no option in pure nexus ROM to use custom header image (my own image). So how do I create an app (like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dirtyunicorns.headers&hl=en )for omnistyle? I tried googling but could not find an answer. I am not a developer but some guidance or template would help.
Hello, i don't know if you still need this? I can make a template for Android Studio with a little guide if this is still relevant.

Do you happen to know where to go to change the OmniStyle QS image collection names? For example, I've replace all of the "Nature" images with pictures of sharks. That was easy enough and the new images show up and work, but the image collection in the list still says "Nature." I would like to change it to say "Sharks." I've dug through the OminStyle.apk up and down, but I can't find where those names are set. I see them in the AndroidManifest.xml, but changing the android:label in the androidmanifest.xml has no effect.

The names are set in the androidmanifest.xml i have no clue why it does not work for you. But it would be easier if you just add your images with an apk or add them directly to the Omnistyle.apk if you need help with that just contact me.

I've already added my images to the OmniStyle.apk, and that works. I just want the image group text to say what the actual images are rather than whatever the text is by default.
I'd rather work it out in the thread, if that's alright. This way others can find it should they need it.
I'm about to go to bed now, but tomorrow I can upload the AndroidManifest.xml, or the APK I'm working with, if you want to have a look. Let me know how to proceed.
Thank you so much for being willing to help me out with this!

So here's what I have so far:
- You can see in the attached screenshot (AndroidManifext-xml_Changes.png) that I've changed the text in the "android:lable" section of each activity.
- You can see in the attached screenshot (Screenshot_MiXplorer_20190612-122940.png) taken from the OmniStyle.apk on my phone that the AndroidManifest.xml is there on my phone with my new text changes.
- However, you can see in the attached screenshot (HeaderImageCollectionTitle-NoChange.png) that the changed labels did not actually change anything.
More Information:
- This is the OmniStyle.apk from the 6-4-19 release of the Havoc ROM for the Pixel 2 XL. I've also check this ROM's Setting.apk and SystemUI.apk in case the text was set there, but I don't see any reference to those words anywhere in Settings or SystemUI. The link to that ROM is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/pie-havoc-os-t3851780
- Here's a link where you can download my already modded apk as well in case you wanted to have a look at it (It's too big to upload directly): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N-ivQSa3In1LbD8LZ4QrVrzo1HAB0giT
Let me know what else you need, if anything.
@sharkie405
So i have checked the apk and the Androidmanifest.xml is correct but when i tested the apk, for me it wasn't working at all. I use the same ROM as you on my S7(herolte) and when i replace my apk with yours there it cant be loaded at all i just see my custom Headers, maybe it's an issue with your ROM or the apk itself. Try to update your ROM and edit the new apk again, but best would be to restore your Omnistyle.apk and make custom headers with the Android Studio Template from me, if you need help with it just ask
