Hello everyone, I've looked for many months but I can't find anything that deals with this issue. There is no animation for rotating the screen in default 2.3.3..
Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
I'm looking for a sort of iPhone-Esq turn of the screen, or a fade out and then in type.
If anyone knows of this being done already or would try to do it that would be great!
Thanks

As far as I know the animation on the iPhone is just a screenshot rotating with the real rotation happening in the background.
So as it was not possible to take screenshots on pre Android 2.3 without root/ADB.. I guess it wasn't really possible?
Dunno though. But I think it's possible in some ways with 2.3 and the api to capture the screen now. Just need some dev to give it a try. But I believe best bet would be the team around MIUI.. as they kinda try to imitate the whole iOS..
I've added some kind of rotation animation in my app... search for sgstools on google code and look into AnimatedActivity class.
It's not perfect... it would be better to handle the orientation change on your own.
When I played bejewelled 2 for the first time I was very impressed by the screen rotation animation.. if you haven't played it, try it out .. the rotation animation is very fast and smooth.. this shows that it can be done

Will your app work on the original Motorolla Droid? I'm rooted and running CM7. Thanks.
The Xoom has this rotation animation. I wonder if anyone could port over what's necessary.
Honestly I can't believe that a dev hasn't tried to create a rotation animation for their custom rom. I would think that people would really be drawn to it, kind of like the gingerbread screen off animation.
Yeah. This is one thing I envy about Iphone and WP7, turning to landscape looks cool instead of just... like appearing.
Its present in honeycomb, so most likely will be present in the next android release? Maybe someone can port it to gingerbread.

I'm also surprised that it can't be found in any of the custom launchers. I've used almost all of them, currently using launcher pro, and I haven't noticed it in any of them.
I think it was in one browser I tried, Netfront Life Browser (I think it was pretty good as well).
adobe reader does the rotation animation too, so it is possibly but it seems nobody cares abou that :S
Great point. I also just noticed that launcher 7, which is a windows phone like home replacement, has a nice "tile animation" when the phone is rotated. So we know from these two examples that it is possible. Also, as many people have mentioned, the animation is included in Honeycomb. It's probably just a matter of time, but I'd like it sooner than later.

Just a quick update, the snes9x ex app, which is super nintendo emulator, has a great rotation animation. Think it could somehow be used for other purposes?
Look at the Samsung Galaxy S 2. It has a animation in the stock browser.

Look at 1:11...
I have a feeling thus sort of thing will make the AOSP in the future. It would be great to contact the dev that created snes9x ex and ask if he knew how to integrate this into framework. I would think this task would nit take too much time, but then again adding a whole new transition animation, writing how this animation is initiated etc.. Could be more time consuming than I would assume.
The first iterations of Stock Android had rotate animations. The first one I remember was the screen zooming out, shaking left and right, then zooming in. In a later release it did this whole fade out/fade in thing, with some pulsing. The delays between rotating phone and screen completing rotation was big.
I don't know why the rotate animations were removed, but I guess that shows who's an Old school android user, as peeps now don't even know about it
we have screen off/ on crt animations TAKE THAT GAYOS! xD
back on topic: @pctechnerd wasn't this on rc22 of android? It might have been left out in later releases because of instability.
Animation on Droid X
The 2.3.3 leak of gingerbread for the Droid X has a very nice rotate animation built in.
Cool! Any idea how to get it to work on the moto droid (D1)?

Hi Fellas,
I'm wondering.. the G2 provides with 3 power-off animations to choose from. If you notice for those who are having lock screens, the retro TV off isn't very smooth. There is some graphical glitches at times.
Overall, I'm wondering does anyone know a hack to turn off the animations completely? That will definitely speed up the screen off lag.
I would love this too. None of the choices are attractive or smooth.

I noticed that when you preview them they're not the same as real world use. They're a ton smoother when they're applied than when you preview it. The fade one is the same as stock Android is it not?

I find retro TV to be the best. It's smooth for me and I think the "graphical glitches" you mentioned is part of the animation.

You are absolutely correct.
However, even with real world usage, the glitch does appear intermittently. And I'm pretty sure if I have my lock screen turned off, this glitch is not to be seen.
You can consider it as part of the animation, but I find it ugly The while light of the retro TV animation is supposed to be too fast to be seen as a whole chunk, but with the glitch on, you will see the "chunk" of light with some other colors in it. Not sure if ya guys get what I mean
I've recorded a clip of my retro TV power off animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRgkL5bO7Ak&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Is this the same effect as what you're getting on your side? I know the preview version if it looks horrendous but the actual animation is snappy and I like the look if it.

I've got the sprint ls980 variant and while I have the menu options to change my screen-off animation, none of them make a difference. The preview work, but the actual animation is unaffected. Also, the old CRT animation that was released with gingerbread looked infinitely better than the retro TV animation on here. LG made so many odd decisions with this phone. Though to be fair, the only other LG phone I've owned was the G2x, and it was vanilla-ish android, so I'm not very familiar with their UI, whatever calling it. Looks a lot like touchwiz to me.
EDIT: I just realized how old this thread is. Sorry for beating this dead horse, everybodies.
Hey. I have always wondered, why is it not possible when having transparent navbar in the apps? Just look at LG G2, its transparent in the camera and on the homescreen, so why isnt it possible? Or is it to hard to code?

I've seen it a few times in custom ROMs - Carbon I think? I remember crdroid used to have it as well, but not on purpose

Ahaa yea i have also seen it in chrome browser with paranoid, but as you say not on purpuse, more a bug.. But i think maybe the people that are more intrested in these codes and things and more experience than me should look in G2s framework and see what the can find Its transparent in the camera as you can see on pictures.
Slimbean and Odyssey have it, that's why I stick to them...I love that feature. It's my alternative to pie, trans navbar and hidden and trans sbar. I'm on Odyssey now and love it just as much as I did illusion on 4.2, illusion was also based on slim. I've attached a pic of my home screen, to give you an idea.

I had that feature once, don't remember the Rom but when I enabled it, it made it somewhat harder to navigate because very often the background is white or a very light color. Another option is to change the height of your nav bar in settings, other than that try PIE.
Fwiw, I prefer the lack of transparency on the nav bar in apps.

Okey. Yea i guess that feature is not ment to be working.
I have carbon now, but it hasnt the PIE, so i guess i have to go with the regular bar.
The reason is because most apps do not draw behind the status bar. So even if it is transparent. It will still show as black because there is nothing behind it.
That is why for those with the transparent notification it only works on the launcher, lock screen & a few apps.
On previous phones I have had some modifications include stretching apps out so that they are behind the status bar resulting in a transparent bar always working however I'm not sure I've seen any such mod for the nexus 4

Is there a way to mimetize iOS smooth animation and screen transitions?
http://youtu.be/g8FAU-gnN-E?t=1m16s
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Most ROMs come with window transition mamanger. While it may not be the same it provides some cool animations.
The closest thing is MiUi. Other than that, and anyone can correct me of I'm wrong, you can't get animations like that.

I've heard of MIUI. The problem is the excessive customizations made on top of Android. I really like the feel of Vanilla Android.
Thank you very much.

Try Slimkat it has built in animations you can choose what you like. But the answer is no you can't get the exact transitions.
Twisted kat definitely had a few iPhone animations as default such as changing from on app to another

As agreed I decided to open this topic to discuss new ideas for a custom ROM based on Stock 4.1.2, as none of the CyanogenMod can please many users, we will discuss ideas and features for the ROM, I will put my ideas here on the tread later.
My goal is make a fast and slim stock custom rom, with good features for everyone use most of her S3 mini, then everyone can give ideias to implement on this ROM
Ok idea 1.add Fly-On mod or something similar.
2.i think it should have xposed framework installed from the beginning. .as an option of course.
3. Quick settings like when you swipe the statusbar with two fingers ?

I do not think much about visual Lollipop, I think of a visual fit for the ROM, giving more personality to it

Power saver mode galaxy S5 is impossible I think, but we have this application that does the same and is more efficient

I do not think about changing it in the first versions, I like the TouchWiz UI, but the combination of colors that are horrible green and black is strange

Just give us a build test
New thread but nothing to test. Will you give us any release date or we will be waiting forever ? Give us something .
+1
Well, since make a good visual is hard and i terrible themer, i will upload with s5 theme and some things i made, its unfinished but its time for a release
Yeah! We need to test
What i made this days:
Changed lots os apks from Sammy(all laggy and heavy), aosp/cm apps(messenger from PAC 4.1,aosp browser fully working, desk clock)
Heavy cleaned up on all ROM(lib,APP,framework, and all others folders)
Add my personal engine for speed and battery saver
Add some things from stamina mode of xperia devices(unfinished)
Tweaked CSC folder, build.prop
Ported DSP manager from CyanogenMod 10.1
And more some little things
Sounds good is there a four way reboot that will work with xposed framework?

4 way reboot menu was "broken" with the theme S5, but using the gravity box with the reboot menu option everything is perfect, then the ROM will not get trouble at the end: D
Sounds great. Godd job
Ok give us a tester then jyn.
Btw:how about putting the pie control in there (forgot the name) like the Tokorom it's a great bit of kit and if you set it up it would be good for the first time user to get to the right apps and options.
LMT Launcher. .
