Hey Guys
Just wondering if it is possible for us to have rotation animations on the Galaxy S. It would much improve the looks of it, and would make the phone feel more smooth. I heard that cupcake versions of Android had it, so can we not use the libs to port it to 2.2 FROYO on the Galaxy S?
I put £20GBP as a bounty to the person who does this. Please post here if you wish to offer a bounty to a developer who manages to do this!
Thanks

This is one of those situations where open source would come in handy.
Your best bet would be to wait for cm/aosp for our phones and then modify source.
IMHO
I too would appreciate this as long as it didn't sacrifice performance in any way, shape, or form
Another thing that bugs me is that the screen fade on/off is not quite perfect. It was terrible in Eclair, in the latest Froyo XWJPA the fade on is nearly perfect but fade off is still choppy.
You'd think something as simple as fading the display on or off would be piece of cake for this beast. The Aria and Milestone that I use do it very smooth no problem.
It's just little things like this that, when put together, make or break the experience.
IMHO
If yo guys try it in SGS Tools it will animate. Maybe someone can port that over to all other apps? Pretty sure its not very simple...

SGS Tools or SpareParts?
I know this is pretty old but has anyone been able to add screen rotation animations to the SGS yet ? (Possibly for 2.2.1?)

Not as far as I know. No Android device has had it since cupcake and I don't see it coming back based on the fact that nobody has worked on it for any phone AFAIK.
The latest Froyo ROMs like JPY are fast enough that's it not as important as it once was, but I still feel that it would give an awesome premium feel to the UI and I'd gladly donate if it was done.

what do you mean by rotation animations? is it same as transition effects? as I start with Froyo I dont have any Imagination about cupcake
^he means the iphone animation when you rotate the screen. you seen it or not?
I see it on the Tablet-PC Video with Android 3.0. But it is a long way to it. So I would love to see a good animation on the Galaxy. I would donate, too!
I wonder if we could do a pseudo rotation.
You could run a service that monitors the sensor and when the phone is turned it could quickly take a screen shot. The animate that and then show the real screen.
So it would go: Sensor rotate triggered> Portrait Screen shot before rotate allowed, Rotate screen, but show Portrait screen, Screen shot screen underneath> Spin Portrait screen shot around center>Fit and overlay ontop of Portrait screen the landscape screen shot to center and stretch to correct size> then show real landscape Screen.
Hmm I know it sounds alot, but this phone it fast and actually the Iphone rotate isn't THAT fast, it seems to have a little more delay tolerance on rotate than Androids do.
I'm sure this kind of thing would be very easy for a dev to try out. Wish I was a dev
Logicalstep
Yeah SGS Tools has Rotation animations, try it and you'll see what i mean. I tried using the XML's from the app in the framework but nothing changed
Has anyone find solution on this one jet? Seems like the SGS2 has got it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362354 ...
We have kind of rotation animation on ICS but it is far away from what can be...
.... take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382242 ....
You also can install an other launcher. I'm using nova launcher prime.

I really don't understand why froyo has the animated wallpaper. It's a nice gimmick for a screensaver but it draining the battery like hell. You can put it off but then you have a problem with putting a nice picture up on every screen.
Oogh yess, dell had that one right. Let only dedicated app turn when you really need them in portret mode and let's enjoy our 5 inche screen in landscape.
Damn i really wish someone could figure out how dell did this in 1.6 and put it in a froyo rom.
Google had to make just an dedicated screensaver app for the animated wallpaper, not let it take over my phone and battery.
Microsoft has tried it before with an active desktop.No succes.
any takers?
Don't really understand the problem? You want your live wallpaper turn off? Or you want any wallpaper you set to look correct in both orientations?

Mr Lufc, i want some developers to have a look at this, thats why i posted it there
I don't need wallpaper in portret mode, this device has phone optional.
If i wanted it to be my primairy phone , i bought a smaller screen, so more portable.
Hi guys
Don't know where to post this really and I can't find any info on it. Does anyone know where I can get the wallpaper from the new Samsung Wave 3? It looks pretty sweet
http://www.mobilegazette.com/handsets/samsung/samsung-wave-3/samsung-wave-3-1.jpg
I dont think anyone will be able to post this wallpaper because this phone is not available in market for now
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks. I didn't know whether it was unique to this new phone or whether it was a wallpaper already in circulation (SGSII for example)
Do a google image search for something like:
wallpaper abstract shine or glow
and be amazed at similar great wallpapers.
Sorry, but I couldn't find the exact same wallpaper as it's on the Wave 3.
i have this picture on bada 2.0, but i can't upload, i can't share... it is defaul picture. could u tell me how to move this picture to sd card? if can do it, u will get it.
I wish I knew how. Still would like this wallpaper!
they are really nice
Running on bada 2.0 ?
After all that, I've found them all

Am I the only one using the Note in landscape mode *only*?
Customized ADW EX launcher to landscape only. Downloaded a paid app from Market that locked everything in landscape, even the got d.... dialer (finally!!).
I really love it that way. Only problem is that I haven't found a lockscreen that works natively in landscape.
Would love if Google and various devs. would consider making apps more landscape friendly.
The whole thing as using a phone (as the Note) in portrait mode doesn't make sense IMO. Just think of how you are watching TV, movies in cinema etc.. - Same with a nice big screen phone as the Note.
EDIT: Oh, and have of course changed the DPI to 240. Again, would love if in the future everything would be a lot smaller than it is today. Going from 240DPI to the standard 320DPI is buck ugly. Way to big. Why not use the screen space a lot better? Like having a 15" laptop running a virtual resolution at 640x480.. Nobody would have that.
Oh well.. Only me that is a landscape fanatic?
Best regards
Surfing websites is NOT always landscape friendly.
Blogs, forums, etc. a vertically much longer than wide.
I dont prefer landscape at all. I dont watch movies on Note.

I am in love with landscape too!! I use my dell streak in landscape fix only, however in that case if you remove auto rotate checkbox then the phone itself fixes in permanent landscape...
For your lockscreen issue....try widget locker a very good lock screen and it supports landscape as well, highly customizable .....
If it helped click thanks!!!!
Hmm.... Well, to each his own. Dell streak is of course set up as a landscape device and devs spent months figuring out how to"fix"it.
So, if you are so inclined, here is how to change the default orientation (including stock lockscreen). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850
Of course, this is for GB only. And oh yeah, car dock mode auto rotates the lockscreen based on sensor. ICS is of course a bit different. AOSP has tablet mode which includes lockscreen rotation built in. You can get the same effect in phone mode with a simple framework edit. See the link in my sig for my CM9 MOD. The latest version has lockscreen rotation including a link to the tutorial I (and Matius44) followed to enable it. That would work on imilka's AOSP rom + but I have no idea about this touchwiz crap we are forced to endure to use the spen suite of apps.
Sure, you COULD just use widget locker or GoLocker autorotate feature... but then why the hell did you post to xda;-) (not a dig on Geo lol)

Fyi, landscape Web browsing on a large form device such as our Note, allows one to read the entire width of a page legibly without zooming in and out. Sure, you can fit a 'whole' page in portrait, and with the incredible resolution of the Note, maybe even read it with a magnifying glass! :grin:

Yeah man! There seem to be a pretty big number of ex Dell Streak ppl with the Note now. We should have or own sub forum
Thor of themes LOL! I've been thinking we need a Spiderman and star wars theme around here... But then again, Samsung has a new freaking base every other week.
Oh, and so as not to be completely off topic, I rotate 90 clock wise for landscape. This actually puts the volume keys on the top and right is volume up and left is volume down. (again, not to sound like a broken record, but streak was f-ing backwards to the on screen volume adjustment)

Btw, you think 240 is fantastic, just wait until you can daily drive CM9 at 160. Here is m my demo vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=416fOhnkr0o
Never used Landscape mode as Portrait is enough for me. Since the Note is already big, I find it quite inconvenient to hold and use it in Landscape. Portrait is the way to go for me.
i love using my note in landscape as well! but my only problem is when it comes to texting i always have to change it to portrait because i use swype and having to swipe through such a big screen is hard
Rotation locker, free from the market could have accomplished the rotation. With¡, and without touchwiz.

Quick text how to:
ADW EX Launcher (any launcher that can change orientation will do)
In launcher settings, set desktop column and rows to 10.
Chose nice icon pack that you like (i have black background and minimalistic white icons)
Set icon size to something preferable.
Get rotation locker and set it to landscape.
If you have like me, use Tasker to set orientation to auto in some preferable apps, like Youtube or S-memo.
Stock up your homescreen with cool widgets and what ever you like. I like not to have a dockbar.
Best regards

Hi everyone
I have been looking for ages to find the following ported apps for my nexus devices (recently moved to Nexus 6P), however unable to find them. Can you guys help me here?
1. HTC dialer and people app
2. HTC clock widgets (I love the main analog clock and world clock widgets by HTC, the design as well as the fact that they turn white/gray based on whether it is day/night)
3. Xperia Z5 digital clock widget
Both the above have apks that require HTC home to run. I want to use them while using Nova prime as my main launcher. Any solution to this? Maybe themes for Zooper widget that mimics the same look? I have searched and searched and couldn't find it.
Appreciate all the help, thanks.
