a few weeks ago, I made a post about the "smoothness" of certain roms. I have come to the conclusion that the drc83 (or w/e it's called) version of donut is much smoother than the aosp version. is there any way for a noob like me to put the bits of drc 83 into a rom like super d? what is responsible for things like menu and window animations? is it as simple as flashing a kernal? if so, where do I find the kernal. if not, how should i go about doing this and what are the tools that I need? if it is impossible for a noob, are there any devs willing to do this?
The animations are in the frameworks folder but you can use metamorph to use the anim in S-D too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589315
Super-D is slower b/c it has a whole bunch of stuff back-ported from eclair and Enom doesn't which makes his rom quicker.I'm not saying one if faster or slower but the eclair stuff is making his rom slower, he does it since people will probably want it.

Goto market:
1. DL andexplorer
2. DL metamorph
3. Open metamorph, it will check for root
4. reopen then seach for the blur anim on your SD.

the only reason I mentioned kernal was b/c I flashed a king rom once and it had a bunch of choices for kernals. one of them made the rom significantly smoother.
the only thing I got from your post is that you're a douche.

Copying animations isn't going to do anything useful. If the system stutters, its going to stutter no matter what you feed it.. even tasty kernals.
Not actually regarding the op's question but...
I want to know if there is a way to port ion 1.6 to the g1, i've been looking and i cant find out how to do so, can anyone tell me how to or if there is already one out can you point me in the right direction?

Are there no more vanilla builds of Android for Vogue? This phone performs awfully with a lot of the heavy themed builds...
I'm just looking for an up to date, vanilla Android build (like the Motorola Droid) preferably 2.1 with no heavy mods that will boot from nand... maybe an HTC keyboard thrown in there for easier typing but that's it.
Back when I used to use this phone a lot these builds were more common than Sense/Rosie/etc but now they're really hard to find.
If you explore the androidinstall.tar(7zip, etc) that comes with most rom builds you can delete most of the bulk from the /system/apps folder.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Barebones
Shows you what the bare minimum requirement is.
This way you'll get the optimisations rom builders put in, but you can remove unneccessary stuff and even add your own apks.
Thanks for this tip; I'll try it out.

Have you tried Myn's Warm Eclair with my 2.1 Stock Theme? That would be a Vanilla 2.1 up-to-date build. Also, I believe Aqtran's cm5.0.7 port is vanilla (also 2.1), but I think Myn's will run faster. If you want even more stability and speed, I would recommend Myn's Warm Donut with my LightNexus (vanilla 2.1) theme. That's what I'm running now and the speed/stability simply cannot be beat. PM me if you have any questions.

Try my CM port here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700669
Should work on a Vogue. It's basicly the same thing as Aqtrans post but hopefully a little faster and little more Vanilla. No bells and whistles, those you have to add yourself from the Market. I'm using it with Launcher Pro (from Market). Install Roguetools and tune the density if you find the default of 106 a bit small.
Nice
Just what I was looking for Works great on Vogue
Used this port for 2 days and i must say that I am very impressed with the speed. Ive tried all the eclair builds and this one is certainly faster.
Thanks kallt_kaffe

my only issue with it is that you cant calibrate the screen in it
For those using this build on Vogue, can you tell me if video is functional? I have several movies on my SD card (mp4) that work flawlessly in Warm Donut, and I'd love to know before switching builds if videos will even play.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure. You can install it on your sd card using the options in the installer menu, essentially having one build on SD and one on NAND. Just change in the menu when you want to go back to your warm donut on NAND.

That's weird. I used the apk from Myn's Eclair and it worked. Did you allow installing nonapproved files?
yes i did i was able to install rogue tools, i used the apk from the other cyanogen mod build and it wouldnt install
i got it installed i had to use the one from myn's thats weird though but im happy, i would love to be able to compile my own personalized update.tar so changing builds is easier.
but i have no idea how to do it

It's actually extremely easy.
1. First you need to install 7-zip. You can google it to find the download link.
2. After you've installed 7-zip and rebooted locate any existing androidupdate.tar file here on XDA and copy it to your local disk.
3. right-click on the file and do a 7-zip -> open archive.
4. Now you can edit and drag/drop files into the tar file. Be mindful of the directory paths and it's a breeze.
5. Be sure after you install the update file using Haret (SD) or a reboot (Nand) to fix permissions.

Credit goes to everyone in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831527 who made it possible. all I did was make it into a working .apk to replace the old framework.

system/framework
Its just a basic copy paste move or overwrite and reboot if you will...simple really. If someone wants to make this into a flashable zip for the masses ill be more than happy add it to the post.
I know some ppl wanted these animations without having to use another rom or theme[like myself] so this is for you guys too. Enjoy!!!!

I will be uploading the Epic Exp. and ACS roms with the .apk already installed and then you may go from there...but i must get sleep
you do realize that every rom/theme has a unique framework-resk.apk and using this one will break all but the one specific rom/theme you are usiing?
Really now? I tested it on Epic Experience1.2.07a and ACS 1.0.1a. I can upload the both ROMs using the .apk if you'd like...and I dont use themes my good man

95% of themes are in the framework-res.apk. your framework will remove any images that are in the framework since you are using the stock framework

The purpose of making it is to create a clean rom for people that might not want everything customised. eg. having a blank cardboard box. You can do anything with it.
A simple rom for simple people.
The improvements will be that it might be a bit faster and a bit more space.
i will in the future be creating a rom that is customized

And just a little note to everyone moaning about this already. if you don't like what he is doing then you know what to do. don't download it then you won't have lost anything will you. he is doing this in his own time with no funding so maybe not should grateful. why don't you create your own Rom and then we can moan about it!!!!

Although you are correct in some way, that wasn't a very smart question. Not everyone likes one same launcher right? But does that mean every dev and android phone manufacturer should put about ten different launchers in their ROMS to suit everyone's needs? Ah, ok!

That is not really something you can do as every framework is tailored to the specifications of the individual dev. Take my 2 ROMS for example, Phoenix, SN and once FF. All three have different frameworks and if you were to try and apply this it would not work, give you an error or even boot loop. You can however create a flashable zip based on your favorite ROMS framework if you like?
i'm on darky currently, but have been using precision (as well as the theme), and firefly. would it be correct to say this could be applied on any jpy if made for darky? or js3 too, if i'm thinking correctly.

For the most part it would be safe but you have to remember that it will change the look of each ROM. I build ROMS, I am nto the best themer in the world but I don't know of a way to just make a patch if you will to apply over any theme. I have tried but I just get errors. I can however make it for your favorite ROMS. I am here to help if you need me. That is the only reason I am on XDA.

Before I say anything else i need to give credit to the CyanogenMod team without them this would not even be here. This rom is based of from CM7 RC-4 and modded by me.
Whats Changed.
-Removed adw launcher and added stock Launcher2(credit to frank707 for the mod).
-Removed various CM7 apps.
-Stock HTC Incredible bootanimation(no sound yet and when first installs turns black before it starts after that normal bootanimation).
-Added Droid notification sound and Droid ringtones(Credit for these go to Trident at AndroidForums).
-Updated music.apk
More to come...
CWM 3
Download
Grab gapps from rom manager.
Please let me know if you are able to install it installs just fine on my phone but my phone may be weird who knows.
Known issues
-Launcher messes up when going in and out of camera(temporary fix is to enter and exit cam again).
*Issue has been solved. The problem was i was using from what i could tell either an outdated or a modified stock launcher. Fixed by pulling the official stock launcher from the 2.3.3 system.img will be in next version.

@OP, Im locking this thread because your ROM doesn't constitute real development. Adding and deleting APKs can be done easily and unless you have a custom theme or something that makes your ROM unique then this thread will remain locked. PM me if you would like it unlocked and if you have a good reason to unlock it.
