i've been playing around with them.

if u decompile them u can see whats up in there... pretty simple actually.

but u gotta kinda visualize it.

i've been trying to find time to also implement them into more apps...

for example... inside com.htc.resources.apk there is obviously also an anim folder... but just takeing those anim files and moving them into that folder replacing the original ones wont do... u need more than that cuz the call for the anim inside framework-res is made into a folder inside the framework-res while in com.htc.resources the call is also made into the same anim file but in a different manner.

for example:

inside framework-res the call is made like this:

and inside com.htc.resources u would need to have it looking like this:

notice the "android:" before the "anim...."

so inorder to port those animations into other things u have to add it in which requires u to decompile the files etc...

also...

here is an example of how the fade in.xml animation is for the filp animations inside framework-res.

notice that it is not so hard to see what does what as far as coordinates and such.

for the other things its probably not clear but a little research on the android developers website will explain a lot about what does what.

so changing the offset, duration and Xscale and Yscale is pretty self explanatory i think.

u can also add on to it... which means that u can make it flip, then fade, and then shrink.... something like that.

notice that the x coordinates is always showing and the y coordinates are the ones that does something.... thats how u get the window to kinda slide from the top and bottom to the middle. (if im not getting confused here...)

i'm saying that cuz if u look at the original fade in.xml u will se that it was simply:

alpha is kinda the fade in/out effect btw.

anyways... i kknow i kinda said too much... but i know there are a lot of creative people out there... so thats a quick and somewhat helpful starting point to what to look at and such.

im no expert... but i love playing around with things like this... so i'm putting out an example of what i noticed.

again... thanks stalebread for putting his work out there.

any chance we can get a new video of each? these are crappy as far as quality goes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skydeaner:
ditto 10char
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
Actually, I just followed Stale Bread's instructions from SDX forums while grabbing the animations from Lowrider's theme, which came from Stale Bread by the way. With 7zip, I just simply modded Jabbawalkee's smooth sense theme to have the transitions. Everything working great without decompile/recompile/resigning. Of course this was easily done only because these devs already did all the hard work. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
as u can probably guess... im not the one who made these videos... they are probably like a 6 months or one year old.

i found those animations at a Samsung moment forum.

i dont really have time to make videos for it on the evo right now... sorry...

but ill try to get some videos going if no one beats me to it.

if u ask me... just try them all out and see what u like from each one and combine them together... i tried all of them out... some have somethings missing in them for some reason... probably cuz they r made for a non htc phone... but its fixable.

i have those going on mt phone for like a month now... i just never thought about posting them until i saw that someone else posted the flip just by itself with instructions... and i suck at writing instructions.

i never had time to mess with them too much... right now like i said im running bounce for the menus cuz they kinda scare u how they pop in your face... kinda cool. and flip for transitions.

im not a fan of the fold cuz its kinda sluggish if u ask me... and flyin is cool also.

the one that actually works perfect though in every way is the flip animations... but thats why im saying u can use the files to create your own.

ill try to fixup the quirks in the animations that r not perfect when i get time... again if no one beats me to it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
did u just replaced the files in the framework-res or in other packages also?

from what i can tell i dont think it would work if the call is made to a folder/file within the apk when the folder/file dont really exist in the apk.

but if u said it worked for u... ill try it myself also.

from what i saw the only really safe anim folder to switch is the one in framework-res... but i never tried it without modifying the row's i stated a few posts back.

p.s.

i meant that u need to decompile if u want to do more than use them as is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 1wingangel:
where and what theme are you referring to?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
ok... at sdx-developers the page he is talking about is probably this one:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/theme-files/animation-builder-beta/msg81565/#msg81565

keep in mind that it is made for samsung moment...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gu3r0:
Do I need to mount system as r/w? If so can someone tell me the cmd commands?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
adb remount.\and if u in recovery just do:

adb shell mount /system

and then push.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Helton566:
This is cool but I want it to work not fly around. How do you remove it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
Actually it's this one: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/theme-files/custom-animations-flying/

Yeah, the transitions were originally developed for the samsung moment, but Burst ported this to his theme for the EVO. Then I saw how Lowrider's theme included the transitions and realized that since they're made for the EVO already with the right calls, I can just follow Stale Bread's instructions to modify the Matted Blues theme that I'm using to have transitions, also.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hdad2:
Is it possible to keep mulitple framework-res.apk on your SD card and then use root explorer to switch between them - and reboot? Or does the file have to be pushed while in recovery?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hdad2:
ok. I did get this to work by editing the APK in 7zip and pushing through recovery. :) The flip animation is sweet. I was happy to see the top bar flip animated as well.

I'm gonna play around more with it. You really can give the phone a whole different feel with just different animations. I'd still like to know if the file could be replaced with root explorer or if that will jack something up to do it within android.

Thanks Magnus and aamikam.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
thanks and youre all welcome, just sharing the wealth :D

swap flying for stock(check op)

yes.

remove the suffix from the apk you dont want to use atm using root exp

wipe dalvic/cache

reboot

to swap them rinse and repeat

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 1wingangel:
has anyone tried the miui animations yet. I cant get it to work.

I just flashed miui for the first time and all I really liked was the animation and smoothness. I have the anim file if needed.

View attachment 425011
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
I've got them working on MIUI.

How exactly are you trying to get them in there?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 1wingangel:
im actually trying to get miui transitions on myn 2.2 rls2 by resigning
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 1wingangel:
im actually trying to get miui transitions on myn's 2.2 rls2.

I replaced the anim folder,resigned apk, added to my theme then flashed.

no luck. it still has myn's transitions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
try one more time with no resign. some things work diff. with miui but this should work with all roms since android is all the same basic structure.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hdad2:
I'd be very interested as well.

I was playing around and decompiled a few of the xml files to see what's inside and they look fairly simple. Thought about trying to edit a few to see how bad I could screw things up.

Does anyone have a link that explains how these files are constructed? I looked at the the Android developer pages but I never know if what I'm reading is actually what I'm looking for or if its just way over my head. if its not tons more than changing x, y coordinates and timing, I could have some fun creating transitions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
just like the rest of us, the only thing for you to do is test your theory...and report back :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gu3r0:
ADB Help...

I keep trying and trying to replace that folder /anim... have gone in used ls to make sure I am getting into the right direction. But for some reason I can't figure out how to replace that folder only. When I get to the res.apk, I can no longer ls what it contains which makes sense because its an app. Sorry for being noobish but I'm trying to get better at my cmd prompt and I'm not sure what to do next.... Any help is greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hecklbrg:
Boot into recovery, then You need to do an adb pull of the framework-res.apk. Once you do that make a copy of it (backup), then open it up with 7zip (or a program like that) and use it to replace the /anim folder with the one you'd like put in there. From there, do an adb push back to the correct folder on your phone...and wham you should be in business.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gu3r0:
Still Nothing

Well.... I tried and tried, I also set up the path under my properties in my computer... Still nothing... Here is what I did... and what i got as a response.

I changed directory to my sdk then...

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk

Then it said, remote object '/system/framework/framework-res.apk' does not exist.

This is getting super frustrating
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
This is assuming you did "adb remount" first?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOme:
These wont work if you use Launcher Pro....correct?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] daktah:
no they do i use them both with no issue

any launcher shouldnt have any problems with custom animations
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chris66:
Thanks (again) Magnus! Looks great!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Visionikz03:
ok it finally worked but i ended up having to take the bare rom and switch out the animation folders via 7zip then install the updated ROM... i tried pulling the framework-res folder outta the system partition nd it pulled nd i edited it but when i pushed it back the animations never changed... maybe i needed to reboot first lol? at any rate the new animations are awesome!!!! thanks Mag

does anyone know if these will work on CM6.1?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
had it working on 6.0, trying now on 6.1 with no luck. Still troubleshootin...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
BOOM! Got it working... I had to download the cm6.1 rom zip, and go into it with 7zip. went all the way into the framework-res.apk/res/anim folder.

I did not copy over the folder, rather, i went into the folder with 7zip and transfered all the files over (it auto-overwrites). then i hit the folder-up button til i got out of the zip. on the last up it asks if you wanna update what you have done, say ok.

transfered the zip to the root of my sdcard

NOT SURE IF THIS PART IS NECESSARY: I wiped everything for a clean install of this ROM.

Flashed the Zip and all went perfect. My screens are bouncin now, like strippers booties go!

I'll play mix n match when i have some time. I'm just glad it works with CM6.1 :)

I dont know what I messed up with ninjamorph or root explorer but im still stuck in a bootloop. I adb pushed the framework apk from the rom zip im using and wiped cache and dalv. still get the loops. Oh well, I guess its a good time to try out a new rom anyway.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kingtheproducer:
can someone just please make a flashable zip for these. Please!!!! I just want to dl them onto the root of my folder then just flash them. Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] yamaford:
Its been stated already that you would have to flash a different zip for every rom. What rom are you on?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
guys... im not sure if it was stated before or not...

keep in mind that would probably want to zipalign framework-res after u change up the anim folder.

it would make a little difference in speed.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Blue420:
As far as flashable zip's go, I have found a tool that works excellent and its very simple to use. Update zip 2.0 (Sorry I'm a noob and can't post links)hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717437. **NOTE** I did NOT make, or have any part in making this utility, I am merely passing it along. I have used it in the past for changing the battery icon and I also used it in this case and it worked perfectly. Just make sure to put your framework-res.apk in a folder named "framework".

On a side note, I think an issue a lot of people are having is pushing the framework-res.apk back to the phone while it is booted up. I am not sure whether others have gotten this to work but I have NEVER had any luck pushing the framework to the phone while it is up. I would recommend APK Manager for unzipping and modding and what not, and then the update tool to make the update.zip. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this Magnus!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kingtheproducer:
Thanks Blue420! BUT not trying to sound lazy or stupid, but can some one please post the flashable zip on this thread? I have little time to mess with my android and i know there are VERY intelligent people in here. thanks :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Blue420:
There is no one flashable zip as most everyones framework is modified in someway. If you can get me your framework-res.apk I will make the changes and create the update.zip for you.

I'm trying to fix a bug that I've found on Myn's RLS3. The app opening animation is a little buggy. It flashes some mangled version of the app and the animation slides that away instead of the current screen.

I'd like to be able to swap that animation with the animation that happens you change screens within an app. It's hard to explain, but here's an example. Open up settings and then tap on Display. It's that animation I'm talking about.

Can anyone tell me the filenames of these two animations? It seems like they should be switched and then things would work perfectly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dev/null/:
Working great thanks! Drag and drop into framework-res.apk with 7zip then push to /system/framework
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Thanks for the tips! I was stoked to see that it work with CM6.1.

I opened two 7zip and move the files from the downloadable file to the anim folder. Then I uploaded the file to the UTO website so that I could make a circle batery and then put it on the root of the SD card and flashed.

Love it!

work transitions also with miui rom 0.11.12 ??

The demand is very big :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kiwiBeans:
I've been enjoying the combination fly/flip animations on my phone for some time. As recently as a week ago, however, I began noticing something strange: during screen transitions you can see the screen of an app that may be running in the background briefly "underneath" each transition. I've seen my Handcent messages list, conversation screen, Google Maps, Xbox Live stats, Glympse, etc all briefly appear in the transitions, so it's not just a single app. Again, I believe they are one of the recent apps I've had open. I can repeat the phenomenon repeatedly by opening and closing GMail, as the other app's screen continues to appear "underneath" the transition.

This didn't happen before, and I've re-applied the theme using metamorph. Has anyone ever experienced this before or have any idea what may be causing it? It's kind of annoying. I can usually stop it from happening by using a task killer to manually 'kill' the app that I can see appearing underneath.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jrdejavux:
I LOVE THIS MOD! thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Wow, that is new to me. I haven't had that happen, but I'm going to watch really close now to see if I get the same thing as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faddys123:
can i combine all 3 animations together ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I'm not sure. I would think that some of them would be trying to do their animation for the same process and it might get goofed up.

I guess you could try it, just make sure you have a nandroid backup so that you can get back to normal if it didn't work out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
Has anyone made a simple breakdown of what each file does? Some are pretty self-explanatory, but the effect of some are not so clear. In the effort to prevent 10+ flashes to get one transition right, maybe we should start pooling our knowledge on this. Would anyone be interested in this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faddys123:
Can you post your animation folder that you are using please ?

Also is it possible to have the rotation animation from Iphone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faddys123:
I got my framework from the circle battery I made before and added the animations to the framework and flashed it made everything easier
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
That is sort of what a did. Works great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] b0r0b:
To even remotely insinuate that the average user would be able to create a concoction out of the available animations is laughable to say the least. Without any previous knowledge on any of the files, swapping/mix n matching is literally a coin flip.

I just replaced 50% of the files in the Flip animation with files from the Fold animation and got a crazy mixture of the 2, not at all changing what I intended on doing. The options include changing file by file in groups and re-pushing to SEE what it does or speak with the individuals that create these animations.

There is no way to wing it without getting extremely lucky or just deciding you're satisfied with the mix.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I'm happy with the Fold ones and sticking with that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ronhova:
This is the method I used:

1-used root explorer to copy the framework-res.apk to sd card

2- connect to pc via usb mass storage, chose to open as a folder

3-used 7zip to open framework-res.apk as an archive

4-navigate to res/anim and replaced the anim folder with the one offered on page 1 of this thread (7zip does the rest)

5-exit out of everthing and disconnect from pc. Make sure your sd card gets remounted.

6- make sure the modified framework.apk is in the root of your sd card

7-open terminal emulator (download from the market)

Type:

SU

Mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

Reboot

Done

The phone should reboot by itself before you even finish typing 'reboot'. Don't be alarmed.

This worked for me. Im on a droid x, by the way. But im sure our framework-res.apk is located in the same directory. So this should work.
