question about roms

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.

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.

DL the blue anim(used in drc):
http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Blur-Anims-v1.0.zip
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 thing I got from the OP was that he knows how to spell kernal

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.

oh, lol, sorry about that then now i'm the 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?

[MetaMorph][07/14/2010] Kevlar Mash V1.69 (Most ROMs)

You can thank stephen730 for me removing all my work. Tired of jackass's

Thanks man, gonna put the signal icons on mine now

Kevlar, it looks awesome

Kevlar,
Looks great installed on v12 Does this only work on Aloysious roms. I tried to put it over sense able said not enough memory funny thing is I have less internal memory on v12 and it installed fine.

Re: [MetaMorph] Kevlar Mash (Aloysius v9-v12)
I think only works for sprint based ports cuz of file names. It doesn't replace whole file, just a few inside.

locksreen looks tight

Found an error with it. It didnt update signal bars. Updated and reuploaded. Its same file name. Next release I am working on is new Rosie and if possible, time removed from status bar. I am learning, so bare with me.

So please bare with me on this. This is all new to me. v02 fixed the issue where not everything in the taskbar was updated as well when you hold down the power button. There are a few new icons there as well.

added thm version for those using the old version of MM. From now on, I will upload both versions.

i PMed ya Kevlar

good **** bro!
congrats on ur first release

Updated. Will be making a special version just for Aloyius snow in the next few hours.

Sorry bout that. Dont know why it didnt carry over. First post now has a working link. You could use v03 as well and just not apply the .jar part of it so that it leaves the clock in the task bar.

Great thanks! Good work!

Your packages won't install, ssays there not certified when trying to install them. This is from the boot loader on my phone not from adb. Or is adb required. Either way when i get home i can just download the apk's from my phone redo the files and resend them which is the long way to do this but I can't be the only one who is having trouble.

This is not a flash update, hence the title, MetaMorph. You must use that app to install this theme and any other theme for Metamorph. There is a free version on the market. FYI, there are not apks in here. That is not how MM works.

Well the files are the same, and im assuming it replaces them just as i would on the computer. I would just do it through adb if i was home.

270/360 Degree Rotation for CDMA Hero

Is it possible to have an updatable zip to apply the 270/360 Degree rotation to roms that do not currently have them in there? Flipz new Fresh rom has it in it and I would like to apply that same setting to Infinitefx45's rom. I found this but it is for another phone.

Cool, if you figure it out let me know. Thanks

I thought It was in the Kernal but I flashed darch 710 OC over fresh 2.3.3 and it still works FWIW. Hope that helps your search.

Found out from PAPASmurf that it is in the framework.jar file. Kinda hope someone can create a zip file to enable this function.

Pull the framework.jar file from the new fresh rom and make it into a signed zip. I'd do it but I'm at work. This is for 270 degree rotation. Darchdroid does 360 and is probably in the framework.jar file as well. Just don't know if that can be used in most roms. Only one way to find out. Some one make the zips and try them. Again I'd be happy to do it but I'm at work and on my phone

[MOD] JL5 Power Menu + Lockscreens [1.10.2011] Updated! *Stay Awake Option*

Well I just spent the last two days learning how to decompile/compile framework. FUN STUFF *sarcasm* Anyways, here is the power menu and lockscreen mod for stock deodexed JL5.
UPDATE 1/10/2011 - Settings now has "Stay awake" option under Settings>Applications>Development
All links have been updated. For those who have already flashed I have included just the Settings.apk at the bottom of the page.
JL5 Power Menu & Lockscreens > DOWNLOAD
JL5 Berserk Power Menu & Lockscreens > DOWNLOAD
JL5 black and white icons version > DOWNLOAD
Instructions
1. Place zip of your choice on internal sdcard
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Flash zip to phone
4. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This wipes the dalvik-cache so the first reboot will take about 5 minutes or so. I have made two versions. Both work the same, just one is themed to Berserk [<3].
Again, this is for stock deodexed JL5. Flash on other roms at your own risk. Be warned you will lose any theming you have such as accurate battery mods and such. Do not ask me to make an odexed version because it is not going to happen.
Thank you to Untermensch for his awesome write-up on the power menu mod as well as the lockscreens!
Thank you to Brick'd for advice that which helped in the compiling of the framework-res.
Thank you to S0niqu3 for the black and white icons
Enjoy Everyone!

Glad to see you got it compiled and working man! I may pick your brain on what did the trick here in the future. It looks great, good work.

Thanks! Appreciate the tip on the compression/heap size. I added your name to the OP. I meant to when I uploaded them but at 2am... Saw your reply in the other thread. After I changed those settings it would compile no problem; the hardest part was sifting through all the resource ids. Definitely took some trial and error before I started getting the pattern/location. Now I know why these things aren't posted right away lol.

This ^ Deodexed just makes theming easier. Most custom roms are deodexed.

I could probably make one with gray scale icons but it wouldn't look so nice with the blue heading. Let me poke around and see how to changed the power heading from blue to black. Would definitely make it look better.

Not so much hard as it was just tedious. I would recommend Untermensch's instructions posted in the OP as a good starting point.

Someone stated a few posts back that Gingerclone is based on JL4 so this unfortunately will most likely not work with it. The woman is running JL4 though so I might end up taking a look at it...

I went into voodoo recovery and chose install zip from sdcard. Found zip chose install. Go back, reboot : )

There are probably some accurate batt mods in the themes section that you could flash, but you will most likely lose this mod.

Been waiting for this. You have made my day. Flashing this now.

Very nice. Has anyone who has this also flashed JDan's SBG themes the flying animations with battery?

I updated the OP with another version that has the older black and white icons. Figured I'd throw out a few options for ppl.

Minor update! Settings now has the "stay awake" option under Settings>Applications>Development. All links have been updated and I also added a flashable zip for just the Settings.apk for ppl who have already flashed. Enjoy!

[Rom] GingerScythe Modded CM7

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.

A bit off topic, but do you play reach? PM me

Might as well flash it. I'm pretty sure I've flashed just about every rom released for the Incredible. Even in the 2.1 days. I even flashed JDKfroyo once *Shudders*.

@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.
