Hi folks,
I am using Modaco's custom ROM. I would like to change my Hero's window animation: it now uses some kind of fade-in animation, but I like the ION's right-to-left slide animation much better.
Is there something that can be done to change it?
Thanks!
Yeah i would really like the slide transition aswell. Its much nicer then the standard hero transition effect. But i fear htc just replaced it and it wont be easy to get back.
you need to add the old animations into framewrk/framework-res.apk/anim/ all files "I think its like 45 files not 100% sure though!"
So, where can I get the files?

Hello Everyone,
How come the new roms aren't coming with the cool htc animations such as the flip clock. Can someone send me a list of the newest roms with the that animation? Please let me know.
Thank You
That'sjust the way it is in the latest ROM dump. HTC removed the animations (I think it's just the flipclock) presumably to increase speed. Would you seriously switch ROMs for one animation? >.>
Animations
Hello Everyone,
Yes i would cause its not only for that but for all the others. When you unlock it then it does the animation. Do you know any roms? Please let me know.
Thank You
Can we not simply "downgrade" the clocks or ask a dev the right way to include something that would let us use the animated flip clock? I don't think it helps out performance that much, especially not on a well configured, well performing phone. There has to be a way to use the old clock apk or something like that, please correct me if I am wrong.

Search for Drizzy's Elite_Fullv0.2. It has a clock that flips. Note that this rom is odex'd. Maybe you can extract the widget and push it to your hero rom.
go find the old one that has all of the animations you like then extract the .zip folder then go to system, framework, then find framework-res.apk, extract that, then click on it, then go to res, then anim, and theres all your animations. you can pull them from that rom and put them on another. i have blurs animations, and those are by far the coolest ones.

jacs 1.6r2a is the newest and most stable hero rom with a flipping clock. hero2 1.5.1 is based of 1.6r2a and both roms work really well.
i wouldnt recommend drizzys 0.2 since it was only experimental and not fully optimized.
Well, my question is pretty much the title of the thread. I recently got a new theme for my cyan mod, and it said it had a blur animation, the only problem is, i dont know what that animation is. I haven't really noticed a change in animations, if there is any that is.
this is the theme.

Well first make sure you go into settings > display and under animation the checkmark is ticked on. Basically whenever you press the physical menu button and the little menu appears on bottom, the animation it starts with is different. ALSO the launching of apps and backing out of them will give you a different animation. This is barely even half a second and if you don't really pay attention you'll miss the change. Blur animation is just the latest taken from devices with motoblur on it. Again its very minor unless you notice these things, it does look cool.
Hello, is it possible to implement "HTC quietly brilliant" to the standard HTC bootscreen ?
Are the standard bootscreen connected together? (I mean HERO + HTC animations ) or two GIF's side by side?

I'll try to do it alone

they are two single gifs. look in /system/media/bootscreen.
Would be really good if we can apply this, its a really nice bootscreen im bored of the Hero one
i don't think you can use it as a splashscreen. the splashscreen is the very first screen to appear, usually your operator's logo (or the operator who sold the phone, i.e. t-mobile for me). this is a static picture, and can be updated since paul released the hacked spl.
the bootscreen is by default the two androids popping up behind the "hero", and then the sparkling htc logo. this can be replaced. give me two minutes, i'll make you an update.zip...
edit: no luck, the gif somehow doesn't work as a bootscreen. if you could find it in / change it to 320x480 it might work though.
Thanks for having ago, i really dunno where to start with all of this, have you tried changin the size? i dont have a carrier animation as i have MoDaCos rom.

hm, you don't get it. the carrier logo is not animated. it is shown for 40-45 seconds as the first picture when the phone is started. maybe it is the htc's stock picture, the hero writing. it just sits there, then quickly fades out and back in, and then the little androids come out. the moment where it fades is when the splashscreen is changed to the bootscreen. in this case they are just the same picture, except the bootscreen being animated.
the splashscreen can only be a static image.
the bootscreen can be up (or more?) three animated gifs, fullscreen or cropped with another (probably static, didn't test animated) gif for the background. you can loop the last image or just let it sit at the last frame. look into /system/media/bootscreen, and check the contents of the boot_animation.xml, it is pretty self-explainatory.

have a look into the stock_bootscreen_nosound.zip, it is the original stock htc bootscreen (not splashscreen!). the bootscreen can be applied via update.zip or adb push, the splashscreen must be written in fastboot mode as it is kind of a "low-level" image presentation. this is also the reason why the image must be rgb565-coded before flashing. on modaco there is a howto for the splashscreen, which needs the modified hboot (also called spl) for the hero just released by paul.
this should do it, hope this helps
edit: i tried changing the size, but somehow the gif looks wired when i open it with gimp, it seems to destroy all the animation timing... should be possible though.
Thanks for explaining all that, GIFs are tricky but very effective, i dont really have time to look into all that u described, but thanks for having a go. I just hope someone that may have more experience with the hero may do it. I dont know where to find a file explorer for the hero on windows.
Thanks
Here ya go. But for some odd reason, it doesn't show up correctly. Dunno why. I just made it into an animated gif with the right size.
tristan it works what you made?
Not exactly. It works fine on the pc, but when put on the phone it flickers. I don't have the knowhow to get it to work, but I thought that if I uploaded the gif, soeone with the wits could fix it.
I am having the same issue, tristan202. I edited and moved the tattoo boot animation ( HERE ) but when flashed to the phone, it gets garbled and looks weird.
I made the animation in Flash CS4.
Anybody know the solution to this?
i wanna usee it hoepfully somebody can make it work
can't delete bootlogo :[
when making the nexus bootscreen i found out that the gif needs to be 255 color indexed mode. 128 colors won't work, for example. what seems to work is to use rgb files, throw them together in gimp, and let it do the indexing automatically when exporting. source material needs to be rgb (at least the first image), otherwise the result will be using the palette of the first image, which will make the rest of the frames look like crap.
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to put up an animated boot animation instead of the old android one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527200
There's that tutorial, but that just shows you how to make a custom image with the shining animation.
I'm talking full on animations, like a gif of a video clip or something. And also, is there a way to incorporate sounds with it, like when the droid is done booting up, it makes that droid robot voice?
Thanks.
my signature says im running eclair, but i recently changed it to cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1 due to some errors in the eclair on my phone.

Well, as of now hero does gifs and sound. From what I can understand, animated bootscreens (like gifs) cannot be done in 1.6 down, it seems animated boots were supported in 2.0+
Hi,
i know it has been asked a couple of times and a lot of people are against it since they dont care about looks, only about performance. Others say they dont want their phone to look anything like an iPhone but this feature is just great.
But is there a way to get the fancy rotation animation as seen on 1.5 on 2.1/2.2? Cant 'we' just modify the sourcecode in that way that is does this animation?
