[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
I just bought a inspire 4g yesterday, amazing piece of tech but I HATE the fade animations when you open/close stuff. Is there a way to get samsung like zoom in / zoom out animations for applications instead of fade? Fade makes me sick really and I want to keep this phone. Its not rooted but if needed I will root it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Not sure exactly but you could try going into Display and turning off animations or try downloading GoLauncher or a different Launcher and check the settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
or root the phone and flash custom rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
I don't want to turn off animations, I want to just change the fade animation with a zoom in animation similar to that on samsung phones
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
you will have to root and flash a custom rom that has it, or a launcher.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hungmung:
Adw ex has an option to change the animation when you open apps. It does cost a couple bucks but it's worth it for all the customization options you get

Sent through the power of Cthulhu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Great, ill give it a try thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Root and tell me what your running, or give me your framework-res.apk, and pick the animations you want from YouTube. Search android window animations or something -they'll come up. I can change them in the framework in about 30 sec and it will be system wide-not just apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
ok I'm trying to root it now with a youtube video I found
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Were do I find that? My phone is now rooted
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Down load File Expert or File Explorer from the Market. Even Ghost Commander will do it. File Expert and Ghost Commander are free; File Explorer is a paid app.

Allow Root permissions then navigate to \system\framework

That's where you will find "framework-res.apk".

Actually, now that I think about it...goto the UOT Kitchen: http://uot.dakra.lt/ follow the "How To" directions and under "Windows Animations" you can change the App Animations. It will change them for the whole device not just apps. :D

Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. I think thats what di11igaf was getting at.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Anyone? Idk what to do...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ultra Droid:
I think the market program that Nickovtyme was referring to is Root Explorer. He's right, it's an invaluable tool to have on your system, and a bargain for the couple bucks it costs. That was the good news. The bad news is that I'm not skilled enough to help you through what you want to do, so you need to wait until one of the first two guys gets back with you for the solution to that animation problem.

-Mike
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Either upload your framework here for someone to add animations or do it in the uot kitchen. You upload it and it does everything for you, then download it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Ok, ill try to find my framework and upload it onto here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
/system/framework

You need an explorer that can access the root of filesystem, not just /sdcard like astro.

I highly suggest root explorer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
ok ill get on that, sorry I didn't do this sooner I was very busy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Ok, here it is. Its compressed so you will need 7zip or winrar to extract

http://uppit.com/f37cynu8f9vk/framework.rar
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Is there something I should do now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Anyone? Little help? Please? :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Joe, I don't know how to do it this way, but you should check out the UOT kitchen. The link for it is in my previous post.

Read the how to... and you'll be able to change your animations among other things. PM ME if you want and I'll give ya steps on how to do it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
I've searched that whole website and couldn't find anything on changing animations.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
These are Screenshots of the Kitchen. If you look it says windows animations...if you follow the directions and use that mod...you can change the animations for your entire ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Inarius03:
I downloaded GO Launcher EX for my phone, and I'm using CoreDroid v7. Tons of options for how you want things displayed on your screen and many animation choices as well.

Also, has a nice notification app that pairs with it quite nicely, but it's a separate download on the Market. It's free, so you should definitely give it a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
I tryed going to that website but I can't change the opening applications animation (or maybe I missed something?)

look at this youtube video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqrBF0TE3Qk

when he opens the android market, do you see that transition? it kind of zooms in? semi iphone like transition? Thats what I want
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
here's the deal, and yes i prefer those transitions too. it makes the UI experience pleasant.

all stock AOSP ROMs have those transitions you want, because that is the way android comes from google. the Sense UI ROMs do not have this transition, HTC removed it. so just install cyanogen 7 and you will have all the transitions working just fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Is there anyway to just add those transitions to my rom? I don't want to reflash because of the hassle of backing up and putting everything back the way I like it, and losing sense
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
That youtube video is the exact video you will see if you go to the UOT kitchen and select Flip Animations. Watch this video in the Kitches How-To menu and it will show you how to do it. http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/

And yes you can add them to just your ROM by going through the kitchen and if you're using a Froyo based ROM uploading your Framework-res.apk. If you're on a Gingerbread based ROM you have to upload your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. Once the kitchen cooks your files, it will notify you its ready to download and flash over your existing ROM.

Here's another alternative: Install Ingersoll 2.5 Sense ROM and then Flash the UITweaks and you'll have those transition animations.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
the flip thing is when you are going through pages, I am talking about when he opened a program. I'm not really interested in the flip thingy I just wanted the application opening animation.

edit: to be more accurate I am talking about the animation that occures at :03 seconds in that youtube video
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
yeah i believe you are talking about not the homescreen swiping. but the transitions that happen opening ANY app, minimizing ANY app, or using the back button to go backwards. they zoom in and out no matter what app it is, and the back button swipes like a page from left to right or right to left. those are the AOSP stock transitions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Yea thats what I want on my phone. Anyway of getting those without ditching my rom/htc sense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Ah well I was trying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Anyway? There HAS to be a way around this, just has to. It would make no sense at all if there isn't. HTC was able to put fade in instead of zoom, so there must be a way to reverse this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Yup you have to decompile the framework file change out the animations xmls for the ones you want and recompile the apk and push it to your device
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joe momma:
Great, how do I go about this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
A search will tell you what you need to know. Start at the apkmanger thread. You will need the sdk, Java, and. Netframework 4 installed on your PC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] carrera0to60:
When I first got my TF w/3.0.1 my mic was completely worthless, no one could here me on google talk and when I tried the voice recorder/voice search neither could hear me. I figured it wasnt a big deal but after rooting and going the Primorial 3.1, now the Mic is useable but still not 100%. People can hear me but when I do the voice recorder/google search the mic volume doesnt seem to be all the way up. Was wondering if there is any fix like with the speaker imbalance that I can mess with a file to adjust it. Thanks in advance.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
A quick warning to those with Talk mobile 5Gb monthly plan, I was charged for over £100 and had my Internet cut off.

It turned out to be a system error on their end. Their system some how reduced my plan to 1Gb per month.

The guy at the other end says I'm not the only one with this problem.

I'd advice anyone with the same plan to check their balance to see they are not been overcharged. It's much easier to sort it out BEFORE the Direct Debit goes out.
[Xoom General] floatlite:
Good heads up, I just looked at my latest bill, and luckily I mainly used WiFi this month, BUT found on Bill

So exactly the same as you, I seem to have reduced to 1 GB of data, even although my tarriff is TM Tablet £25 5GB 24M

Sneeky sneeky bar stewards!

[Xoom General] andypotts:
is it possible to check usage and balance online???

I cant see any links on the website.

I already had an argument with them but just over £14, CPW did not tell me in store their would be a part-month charge. They did give me a £5 refund....

Thank god for this thread!!!

Overview of current usage

Inclusive Data - 5MB

Remaining - 0.26MB

On the front page it shows my tarrif correct as "TM Tablet £25 5GB 24M"

Too bad they are shut now... I feel another argument coming on!!!
[Xoom General] Philio25:
I've got the same problem!

Looks like they have only allocated me 1Gb of my 5Gb of data and I've clocked up £60 of unbilled usage and they disconnected me!

At 10p per Mb of data you can clock up the unbilled usage pretty fast too!

Waiting for them to open at 9am to sort it out.
[Xoom General] craigcrawford1988:
I got off T-Mobile about a week or two ago when my contract ran out, they are absolutely terrible.

When I first started with them, they were OK. Then it started getting worse, constant dropped connections - then this Orange merger made it even worse, constantly dropping to 2G. Low signal and finding a place to actually phone people or send a text without an error...

I was getting these speeds according to Speedtest (on 3G):

10am

DL: 345kbps

UL: 61kbps

Ping: 131ms

My friend in work was with 3 and was getting synchronous broadband speeds in excess of 1-2mbps at only 100ms ping!

I switched to them on "The One Plan" at a monthly renewal (to ensure I don't have to stay if they start ****ing up)

I now get a HSDPA connection ALL the time (unless I'm in the basement in work), I get no problems phoning people or sending texts, and my connection speeds rocketed - as follows:

10am

DL: 4490kbps

UL: 1620kbps

Ping 83ms

Even when I phoned T-Mobile up a few weeks before I bought my contract with Three they were very rude as follows:

Me: Hi, I'd like to cancel my contract please.

TM: Yes, of course can I take your details?

*skip a bit*

TM: OK, we'll get that done for you. But first can I ask why you are cancelling?

Me: Yeah, I can tell you. When I first started with T-Mobile it was great, then you reduced data by half, joined up with Orange and the network got worse and worse. I have a friend in work who gets synchronous data in excess of 1-2mbps, with you I get 300kbps download and around 60kbps upload. Not to mention the constant disconnects and I pay £10 extra to you... for what?

TM: What phone do you have can I ask?

Me: HTC Desire.

TM: It could be a problem with your phone, Mr. Crawford.

Me: No, it's not a problem with my phone - I tried his SIM in my phone.

TM: But I'm telling you Mr. Crawford, it's not a problem with our network.

Me: No, you're not TELLING me anything. How dare you insult my intelligence, there is nothing wrong with my phone. It's your network. Now if you'd kindly stop talking to me and cancel my contract then I'll be happy.

TM: OK, Mr. Crawford - I hope you have a good day.

Me: I hope you don't *hangs up*.

They then sent a text asking for me to complete a survey which I rated horrible and left a comment why.

A few days later they tried to keep me on by offering £5 off my contract, you can guess where I told them to stick it.

TL;DR: T-Mobile are terrible, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
[Xoom General] Philio25:
I agree T-Mobile are awful, however this thread is about TALK Mobile, the Carphone warehouse virtual operator which uses the Vodafone network.
[Xoom General] Philio25:
I spoke to a very helpful guy called Craig at Talk Mobile this morning, he said my account was in order, I'd used about 1400Mb of my 5Gb allowance and there were no outstanding charges on my account, although my account had a block on which looked like an error, which he took off.

I mentioned my bill only said I had 1024Mb allowance and that the automated system said I'd clocked up unbilled usage, but he said this was definitely not the case and could be down to a recent system crash causing the error.

Also pointed him in the direction of this thread and he's escalated the issue and also contacting other agents to find out if there are other reports of issues with the Xoom data tariff.

If anyone is still having issues give the freephone number 0800 049 4401 a call and ask for Craig.
[Xoom General] craigcrawford1988:
Ah, I must have misread when I woke up this morning ;)
[Xoom General] ukc101:
Just setup the online account and all looks good for me. Only issue I have is i'm on unlimited plan and they don't log any usage, i'd be interested to know how much i'm using each month. Also if for some reason they chuck in a fair usage policy how can I compare my average usage. Knowing what these networks are like changing TC's mid contact!

Anyone recommend a good app for logging usage?

I was going to try a new rom(as I have a very short attention span and things need to change) I have tried Cyanogenmod7 on my SGS and now I would like to see if I can return it to stock and am wondering if there is a lagfix that needs disabling or does it even matter if I am going to use Odin to flash the ROM and just repartition when I do that
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
There is nothing you have to disable, flash away.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
I just got my second 32GB TF (first one stopped responding to touch, even after hard reset) and this one has dust under the screen and light bleed...(I was a naysayer..but the problems are REAL and not just some over exaggeration).

Anyway...I'm going to return the 32GB to BHPhoto...and managed to order a 16GB from Amazon today.

I still have some time to cancel and was debating...is the 16GB the right call? I've had the 32GB until now (since it was easier to get) and it was kind of nice knowing I had that space if I ever needed it...but do I NEED it? I realize the 16GB is expandable due to MicroSD, but onboard is always better.

How do you guys feel about the storage space?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
I honestly think 16gb is a better choice as you're very unlikely to install so many apps to eat up that much space.. and you can the $100 ultra to get a decent 32gb micro sd card!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I do wish you would make up your mind with your 'stories', because over on another thread you had already bought a tab 10'1 in NY and there's no mention of also ordering another AT from Amazon.

I wish people would just piss-off and stop blatantly inventing ways to post BS stories on this forum about this freaking awesome device :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
Please provide a link to where I said I bought a tab 10.1. Also, please make sure you get your facts right before you attack someone.

I might have commented on that thread, but I did NOT say I purchased one.

:rollseyes:

edit: FYI here's what I said in that post

now don't you feel silly?....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
That's not true.

If you ever want to move files from device to device all you have to do is pop out the card on one device and into another.

I would hate to wait for 16GB worth of data to be moved through USB.

The biggest files are media files so if you plan on keeping a lot of movies on your tablet at one time, then the bigger storage is probably best.

Though, the way we are headed, everything will be streamed/downloaded through cloud anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
Exactly my way of thinking as well. Go for the lower end and make it even BETTER than the higher ended one by getting a 32GB CLASS 6 MSD Card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] james robinson:
I personally bought the 16 GB because the 32 GB was sold out @ BB. I figured that I could always expand my memory via micro SD.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
to me it doesn't make a ton of sense to add more onboard memory when expansion is possible, cheaper and more convenient
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
16GB unless you really have tons of music/movies that you want to carry with you all the time. I already have a 32gb iPhone4 so I have no reason to store my music on the tablet. 16GB more than enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boogiemaan:
I personally went for the 32. Unlike a phone, the microSD and SD cards are accessible. I plan to use those like floppy drives of today. It's much faster to copy media directly to the cards from a computer and stick them into the pad than to try to sync or copy them via the pad. At one point, I was thinking that I can just upgrade. However, there will always be some apps that cannot be moved to the microSD.

Also, Amazon currently has the 32 for $499 and 16 for $449. $50 difference for onboard 16 is a no brainer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Steve182:
I just bought a 16gb with the same mentality as some of the previous replies. I went with the cheaper alternative knowing that I could easily upgrade the storage with a Micro SD card if I started running out of space.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhinman:
Does not follow that it is better. 48 may be more then 32 but it is less then 64. You don't think that people that buy the 32 gb model are then going to say "Aw I don't need a 32 gb Micro SD card, I have more then enough internal already". :D No they are going to say "I wish they had 64gb Micro SD card I can put in this thing".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I see you've edited your post :rolleyes: how errrrr predictable! but then i see you edit a lot of your posts :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Given Google music, and rentable movies that either stream or delete themselves after you watch them, I think Steve Jobs is on the right track. I have WiFi 95% of the places I go. 100% of the time on work days. With the Google music beta I have no music ON my tablet, but access to my entire collection with a network connection. The 16gb tablet has room for several movies, but once netflix and android market movies are fully functional I don't see the point of even bothering to rip a DVD into a format that will play. My conclusion? 16gb saved me $50 or more over the 32gb version. That pays for netflix for 6 months or so.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sackofnoise:
Got the 16gb, and got a 32GB microsd at 90$ (patriot 32gb class 10) looks great
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DKYang:
If you really (x10) need memory, go for the 32GB model, otherwise, the 16GB model will do just fine.

Let's think about what you accused me of (starting a post about getting a tab 10.1). Was that me? No.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
I decided to keep the 16gb from Amazon. External storage is all I need. Do any of the current folio cases have pockets to hold micro SD cards?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
Problem with going low and using cards is it's a pain to maintain a desktop like atmosphere if I have some on board and some on a card and swap cards for something else and need access to what was on the other card. I have a mydocs folder under mysugarsync folder and sync it with my home computer. Considering a majority of my files are media/Office based, and mt TF replaced my laptop, I have a more complete setup without having to swap cards. I also had a bunch of gift cards and paid about $300 for the 32gb after returning the 16gb one so it wasn't a tough choice. I like card access, but swapping cards more often is not really my idea of efficient. Plus the slots are always open for use. Still wish the tablet had full size SD. Hate the trend towards micro on devices that have no justification for it. Considering the TF is wider than any other 10.1 with nothing else really under the hood in comparison, a full size SD should have been a no brainer.
