Animations as on standard 2.1

Could anyone create a flashable zip-file so I'll get the screen transition animations as on the nexus one for example. I am using Villainrom 5.2. I tried myself, but was unsuccessful.

Have you tried using the Spare Parts app? That has all kinds of transition and other effect options

Only does speeding up or slowing down animations, nothing more.

are you talking about the zoom out style one?search android transitions on Google,you'll have to extract framework-res.apk if I remember right!

I put the right anims in the extracted framework-res.apk, but I don't know how to compile it to apk again, and then I also don't know how to make the whole package a flashable zip. Could anyone help with that?

Can't you just use a program like 7zip to insert the resouces into the apk file and then push it via ADB?

Get the rom.zip put the framework-res file In Its place,resign and flash.I dont think you can just push the file thru adb as it will cause force closes

Thanks for all your help.
I need to extract my roms framework-res.apk and then put in new anims. How do I then make it an .apk again? And how do i sign the zip file?
Thanks.

You of course need android sdk,also java jdk search xda for resign update.zip.sorry I can't link you but am on my phone.ill be home in an hour if you want to upload the files ill do it for you

I've tried looking up how to resign update.zip's and apk's , but it says something about the autosigner won't work on windows 7 ( which is what I have ) . If it's not too much to ask, I would greatly appreciate, if you could make a flashable zip update containing the boot animations from standard 2.1 (fade in and out), that would work for villain 5.2.
Thanks for all your help .

here you go!
I prefer these animations to the slide one.Boot time takes a while 5 mins or so but it will boot! be patient i think its because it has to reconfigure framework.
Flash through custom recovery

Great... Thanks! I have opened a similar thread before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645210&page=2 but nobody could help...
I tried myself but it couldn't do it. Will be good if someone makes a tutorial or an app! Because as far as I understand this has to be done for every single rom.
EDIT:
Tested and just works great on Villain 5.2! So nice... It's a must...
Now if we just could get the epic rotation animations from Cupcake 1.6...

Ebuddy 1.9.1 apk for theming?

I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.

Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.

Any idea why when i repackage the files as a zip then rename as an apk it fails to install?
I have re-signed the apk but it still wont install, any ideas why?

Better if you use apk tool: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Decompile: apktool d name.apk
Compile: apktool b name

Hmm still doesnt work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

These resources seems 0 byte in the apk:
"drawable-hdpi-v6/chat_gray_back.9.png"
"drawable-hdpi-v6/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable/chat_gray_back.9.png"
"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_gray_back.9.png"

here's the zip file, if you can tell me what I've done wrong I'd really appreciate it.

Hmm..I let it compile, but fails to install the apk..
Hope someone much expert than me can help you

yeah, its weird how it wont install. like what I was trying to do though?

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.

If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

no idea why your file wont install...
I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign
- install

[Q] Port Gingerbread Animations to CyanogenMod 7

Hey Guys,
I have been running CyanogenMod 7 on my Milestone for a while now, and I love it! But I do think it could do with a little bit more of eye candy. So I was wondering, is there anyway to port the gingerbread window animations to CyanogenMod?
I have tried a few Metamorph tricks, but wasn't successful. I also heard about an app called AnimMod which is supposed to do this, but I cant try it out as I am not allowed to buy paid apps in my country. So, I would be glad if anyone posted a link to a working procedure for changing the window animations.

All windows animations are in the framework-res.apk under the res/anim folder.
You can replace those with the GB animation files and apply again. Please note that you need to replace only those that are there in both the framework files.
[email protected]

Thanks for the answer.
Where can I find the gingerbread animation files? I dont have the gingerbread ROM, so would it be possible to download the files from some place.
Also, I am curious to know, why weren't these animations implemented in the CyanogenMod in the first place. I would have thought most people would appreciate the better animations of Gingerbread.
Edit: I just watched a walkthrough, and it seems that the animations in CyanogenMod are the same as those in Gingerbread. Still, it would be nice to know where I can find some new animation files

Wow I forgot that I put this together.
I named it FlyIn_FlipOut because I combined the Flying animation with the Flip Animation.
I actually spent alot of time on it pinpointing specific things which was a pain in the ass.
Anyway, it's attached.
I hope that somebody thinks that it's neat

I have attached the animation xml files for the following animation effects.
Flip
Fold
Flying
Bounce
Blur
FroyoMOD ( animations found in Luca's FroyoMOD )
All you need to do is to copy it into the folder that i mentioned in the previous post and apply it again.

Thanks Guys.
I need some more info on how to do this thing properly:
1. Where is the framework-res.apk located? I found one in the system/ framework folder but it is named as framerwork-res-mot.apk.
2. How do i change the files? and finally how do i install the apk.
In short, it would be great if you could post the steps to modify CyanogenMod to incorporate the new animations.
@zeppelinrox: Good thing you came across this post then.

Anim mod is an easy way, i use it all the time
note\ require root and busy box installed
Goodluck

Good app. Does what I wanted.
I wud still like to try out zeppelinrox's version of the animation. So could someone pls post how I could do that.

Isn't anim mod a paid app? Please don't post download links of paid apps.

Download the theme updater flashable template zip file from here.
Download and extract the contents of the zip file provided by Zeppe to your desktop.
Your framework-res.apk is in your /system/framework folder. Using 7zip or winzip, open framework-res.apk and replace the animation files in the /res/anim folder.
Copy the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework folder of the theme updater template zip file. Copy the template zip file into openrecovery/updates folder and apply in AOR after wiping dalvik/cache.

By the way, Can I get CM7 screen on and off animation work on stock rom ?????

Thanks, but you have not removed the app link.
Regarding screen on/off animation, not possible. Its a feature of GB and not easy to port to froyo.

[Q] Iida infobar interface - any way to get it? :D

Here's a new interface from the Iida phone : http://iida.jp/english/products/infobar/interface/
It looks great, very WP7 like.
Is there a dump of Iida online? maybe someone could extract the launcher out of it. Based of lifehackers translation, the Iida is running gingerbread, so it may be possible to port the launcher to our SGS

Second that, hope it can be ported and translated to SGS

http://iida.jp/english/products/infobar/
here is the english version of the site, sans the video. the phone's name is INFOBAR A01. i haven't been able to find a rom or dump online yet.

You guys think I'll be able to run a rom of that on a 600mhz processor phone?

This looks awesome, I can't wait for it to be released. Hopefully we can get a ROM for it

demo/review of the actual product/UI interesting...
check it out

thanks....

The people at HTC EVO 3D forum get a system dump of iida.

I used root explorer to move the apk files, but it didn't do anything. (I wasn't sure if I had to install them, but I couldn't either way.)

Try using adb to push the apks in system/app, if anything goes wrong adb will show why.

Please post the commands, never used adb before.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just manually copied them and it's working. The launcher is quite disappointing though :\

You should try search and if you did you would find:
SplannerWidget
You will have to be rooted at least with a custom kernel that has cwm or twrp. Lots of information on how to do that available, just use "search" and you will find it...

thanks for the link

Thanks for the quick response.

if you take your time, do some reading, explore the vast amount of information here, do searches for things like kernels, tutorials, root and that sort of thing and you will do fine... and don't be scared of the thanks button :good: LOL...

You just need to be rooted, you don't even need a custom kernel. A root browser app will do the trick, download the zip file provided by bob, open it and extract the apk inside system\app folder. Move it to your phone's system\app folder and set permissions rw-r--r-- :good:
