[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fandroid135:
That sounds like I'm being a prick but I'm just trying to learn. I didn't find what I was looking for on Google but a friend suggested xda. I'm coming from a nexus and my wife has the iphone4. Now the I4 is a "retina display" with many more pixels than android phones and its I will concede that I can't see a pixel on its screen. As far as text and application icons and any lines in the UI, they are like nothing I've seen from a phone or even a desktop. I find it troubling that we haven't heard rumors about nice displays for upcoming androids. But the vibrant has a superamoled, what I do know is that I can easily see pixels in every image I look at, but android phones like this are at most just 800x480 so I guess its a given that the UI and text and lines and images in all applications will be fuzzy? And so where does the Super come in to play? Contrary to what i was told the vibrants display definitely doesn't look any better than my nexus which isn't really bad because the nexus absolutely has a respectable display. The one difference I've seen is that avatar looks very good on the vibrant. I had avatar downloaded on my nexus it was a 720p version and it became pixelated with lots of movement. Not so the vibrant. I noticed the vibrant skips or sort of hiccups during heavy action scenes which I'm guessing is reflective of the processor? But the picture looks good. So is superamoled strictly for media? I guess if it had decent resolution the UI would look slick like the iphone4 regardless the display being amoled samoled lcd slcd or whatever right? So i shouldnt expect that the SAMOLED is supposed to make the UI in general look particularly good is that correct? I realize it seems dumb but the only thing that looks a bit better than my old nexus is watching certain movies. The vibrant has a great processor and a super amoled. Can anyone explain some of the practical benefits of the vibrants hardware?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasian shadows:
samoled is better than the iphone 4's retina display. its about the screen technology. its colors and the way it looks in direct sunlight,looks better than the n1 & i4. although the i4 has a higher res doesnt eqaute to a better screen. vibrant has a better gpu than the i4 and better than any android out. the hardware on the vibrant is ahead of its time. 45n processor, 90million triangles per second by the gpu. all in all retina display focuses on pixels, while super amoled focuses on color and qaulity. vibrant and the galaxy s line are the best phones out hardware wise. not software wise. and by that i mean touchwiz and that rfs system.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
I haven't been able to find any hardware specs...is the SAMOLED capable of higher resolution?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fandroid135:
Thanks, it a shame the pixels are so noticeable and blurry. This phones got hardware that could've kept me happy for at least a couple years. I watch a decent amount of media so I appreciate that aspect of the hardware. But even more I'm using the UI and the browesr and constantly seeing my wife's I4 really makes the fuzziness of the vibrant stand out. Samsung has media well in hand but everything revolves around the UI so persoanlly I'm impatiently waiting for a crisp I4-like UI. I would imagine higher Res is on deck, 800x480 has been done to death. I'm glad the iPhone exists be wise the competition benefits us, I just hate this period of waiting to catch up with what I consider a major portion of the OS. Especially since I use my wife's phone so often (T-Mobile doesn't work in many places like att does) its tough going from the iPhones perfect lines to my jagged blurry ones. But like I've read other people here explain., I'd have no idea how bad 800x480 is if I hadn't seen the 960x640 retina display. So really its my wife's fault : )

There are LCD density "fixes" if you're fixated on the resolution...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherifone:
samoled is an interesting tradeoff. for people that really like video and media, the sgs line is spectacular.

no offense to the guy that says, "samoled is better than retina" but... really? its glaringly obvious that text is blurry/less crisp on amoled and samoled displays. most people might not see this, but for those of us with good eyes it sticks out like a sore thumb.

the display on the motorola droid, iphone 4 and the new slcd's from htc are a lot more readable. sure, you dont have the fake ass super contrast that samsung is giving you, but its MUCH crisper. there is a superb article on arstechnica that points out the flaws of amoled displays.

all that said, i don't mind samoled on my samsung focus. i just don't go out and bash the iphone because it makes me feel better about my purchase. the display apple put on the iphone is an industry marvel, and if it was on an android phone everyone would be talking **** on apple instead of downplaying it. its so tiring reading these weak ass posts. have a good day

if we get androids gingerbread this is what i heard.

"New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher".
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
our device isn't capable of that resolution. that would be for newer phones lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
oh ok thats just what i heard. hopefully we can get froyo soon or they should jump to the gingerbread update and skip froyo lol. just coming from the mytouch 4g with 2.2 froyo big difference for me from this 2.1 and the lag on this phone is a joke. but i did use the lag fix which helped a bit.

It may or may not have been clear enough I did in no way shape or form create these animations. I blended someone elses work to my liking. this is the part responsible for the animations you see noted in this video

Taken from here. I spent several hours today along with Idkwhothatis123 (from xda here :)) blending fold, fly-in and bounce to get it how we liked it :D I'll make an flashable zip for people upon request because everyones framework will be different with themes/roms etc.

this is a link to a zipped anim folder you can replace by

This is no longer necessary unless you would rather use adb. there is a metamorph file attatched download that and put on the root of your sd and download metamorph from the market its free :D

adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Then open up the res.apk with your choice archive manager. Replace the /framework-res.apk/res/anim folder with the one I've provided.

Reboot into recovery and

adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb push yoursdk/tools/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

I hope this makes sense and you guys like it :D

I will have to make individual flashable zips for each and every theme/rom's framework. I am posting this here. If people like it enough request that your themer/rom created add it to their framework.

If you guys post what theme/rom you are using I'll whip it up for you :D

Thanks and I forgot I put that up there hahaha
[Epic 4G Themes] hoopdy77:
So, would one just open the file through metamorph, unzip the file, apply the file, and reboot to obtain the animations. Those animations are fantastic!
[Epic 4G Themes] M@XLOL:
Yes. I would make a Nandroid backup first just to be on the safe side though.

Installed via metamorph and then rebooted. Upon reboot was met with FC loop. I tried clearing all the cache but that didn't help. Any ideas...It did work though because the FC error boxes were moving quite awesomely.

I'm adding the animations to my theme right now. I should have something in an hour as I got a couple minor things to fix also.

If you haven't already checked out my theme its the only theme that is 100% customized. I an the only one that added the power options, no battery full pop ups, moved tw clock down for the music player. As I member of ACS I want the best and I will be the best. I will add any new mod such as this to my theme.

mysteryemotionz will update his theme to incorporate these animations soon.

in the mean time you can use the metamorph posted in the OP
[Epic 4G Themes] omair2005:
are any of the other type of animation going to be metamorphed?
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
Hm.. I must've done something wrong. I went the adb route and all seemed like it went fine, but upon restarting, everything FC's. (of course I didn't do a backup right before). I was still able to get into development and push back the original framework-res, restarted and still all FC.

So, I just did a /system/ (only) restore .. and still FC .. any ideas?
[Epic 4G Themes] 063_XOBX:
Any chance of making a version of this with faster animations? Like maybe 1.5 times faster, it looks a bit like lag at the current speed (at least to me)
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:

[Epic 4G Themes] M@XLOL:
download spare parts and adjust speeds as you see fit.
[Epic 4G Themes] 063_XOBX:
Wow, didn't know I could do that. Thanks a lot! And great job on the animations
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
hm.. anyone?
[Epic 4G Themes] M@XLOL:
My recommendation would be to always make a nandroid backup when instructed to do so.

You will most likely have to wipe and set everything back up. These animations change one folder it should work fine if it doesn't nandroid restore.
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
You are most likely going to have to flash something over your current setup to restore the framewok-res.apk. It is a pretty common occurance to be greeted with tons of FC's when pulling/ pushing framework-res, so try again and just use metamorph instead.

I had a good /system backup, but that's not fixing the FC's-- it's not just a few FC's .. it's everyhing that FC's :) Can you think of anything else I could flash that would replace that folder?

Well.. glad I'm not crazy. I even used copy and paste with the adb commands in the beginning.

Finally, I was able to wipe data, and advance restore /data from a week ago.

I also finally found a way to extract the clockwork backup files from the .img it creates. Now I'm (not so successfully) manually trying to restore my call logs (contacts2.db ?) and handcent sms records.

I really do look forward to these transitions though. lol.

Took some fiddling with metamorph but got it installed. On syndicate 1.0.1a. Loving it, especially for the popups and menus. The transitions are a little awkward to me somehow, readjusted spare parts to fast so hopefully that fixes.
[Epic 4G Themes] smoothone:
What did you do to Metamorph to get it installed?
[Epic 4G Themes] atkailash:
I manually unzipped the file in the /sdcard/AndroidThemes file (used es file manager), then selected the transitions.xml file.
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
Just installed the new Emotionless Beast 3.1 release, and I have to say I'm liking these transitions... they really add some unique character and something new we haven't really seen yet. Makes your phone feel alot fresher. Especially loving the pop ups/fly in. It's bad ass.

I've tried spare parts with all different speeds and they look great, all except the one you get when you hit back to go back in a menu (the one that looks like a screen sliding left and then under another screen) IMHO that one seems to look choppy laggy alot of times, regardless of speed. :confused: That's the only one I don't care for. Just because it dosen't seem very smooth. I'm only one guy though! Other than that I love it.

[Epic 4G Themes] amosher13:
So i'm running Baked Snack 1.6-undisputed and the Emotionless Beast Theme v3.1 which Hero said he optimized for his ROM. It includes the transitions and i'm not super crazy about them. is there a way to revert them to stock?

Reading up on the thread, i was thinking I could just download the 3.0 theme from here and take the anim folder from the framework-res.apk and swap it into the same apk from the theme i downloaded and flash again. will this work or is there a metamorph for stock transitions, i'll go for either.
[Epic 4G Themes] hoopdy77:
If you download spare parts from the market, you can actually disable the animations in the settings.

thanks for the response, yeah i see that but i liked how it was with the stock animations. they're subtle but a little nicer than just the stale click of no animation at all. thanks tho

Shouldn't be necessary, as Sprint pushes the system time to the phone. I should have clarified though:

TAJM's clock was accurate, the status bar's clock was not. However, things look to have fixed themselves after the clocks turned back, so I think it was just a DST related bug.

Can anybody recommend a pouch with a belt clip, which allows easy access to the screen, even while its plugged in to the headphones?

I am after a case which will hold the phone on its side (not upright), and allow me to insert and remove the phone, with the headphones still plugged in. Imagine a nice cut-out, not a little hole preventing phone removal while headphones are plugged in.

Without screen protectors, a TP cover and a nice pouch, my phone feels naked, and I am a bit paranoid of it getting damaged. Ive got the screen protectors on the way, the TP cover coming (soon), but all I need is a nice pouch!

Yes, I have googled, ebayed, asked jeeves, binged, but I would appreciate the opinions of you guys here!

Thanks!
