[10/30][MetaMorphMod] Add BLUR animations to ANY rom/theme!!

NOTE: This will work with *ANY* rom/theme. As long as you can get MetaMorph running, its should work.
To flash simply put BlurAnimations.zip into the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard, then go into terminal type the following:
Code:
su
mm.sh -i
Then follow the prompt. Select #2, then select the BlurAnimation.zip file, then once its done press 1 to select the frameworks-apk and hit enter to flash.
REBOOT is necessary after this.
Find out more info at the MetaMorph thread.
For those that have no clue what the Blur animations are:
-When you hit 'menu' key, it 'bounces' up and down before snapping into place.
-When you open or close apps, it zooms in and zooms out of the app image.
Before you needed to flash a theme that included these in order to use them. Now you can flash these on top of the default rom theme, or on top of ANY of your favorite themes.
To go back to defaults, simply flash your rom or theme back again.
(Technical info if anyone is interested: Blur animations reside in frameworks.apk in res/anim/ folder, there are about 45 files that you can pull and drop into any themes/roms and it'll work, this just does that job very very easily for you)
If anyone wants to do a little animation video/gif of this in action, please give me the link to post as example.

It only works on ASOP roms, not hero correct?

If metamorph works on hero roms (I'm not sure, try installing it) this should work on any rom as well. All it does is replaces files in frameworks.apk>res>anim which hero roms have as well.
Its better to do a nandroid backup before you run it though, just to be safe :]

This would probably work in hero roms, but not entirely sure, Just do a nandroid before testing.
Also, Awesome idea Prash, Blur animations on any rom without having to flash a theme, very nice.

Thanks Prash,
Just wanted to let you know this worked great for my magic with the gchrome theme (gChrome-0.3.8-CY4.2-LS.zip). No FC's as reported in MM thread.

Not working in Rogers Mod :-(
Prash - I was trying to do this in "Enomther's Rogers Mod v1.9.1" and it says:
ERROR: The theme control file says that we are looking for the dir framework-res within /sdcard/AndroidThemes/BlurAnimations but it could not be found! Invalid theme.
I tried both options 1 and 2 (full theme / theme of my choice) - it is giving the above error when trying to apply the Sub Theme step :-(

Could you try again with the latest mm.sh files? I just tried the blur animations and it work fine. I'm sure even that rom has a frameworks-res directory, i usually do option 2, then pick the right file, then hit enter to apply.

Very cool, yet simple theme. Im lovin this new system for themes

Tried twice or thrice but ended up with the same error. Requested the frameqork-res.apk from enomther so that I can push it to the ROM to get the blur animations...
Not sure whether it is the issue with the ROM (since I ran it sucessfully in Cyan 4.3.2.1)

the blur animations work on hero. I am not sure if this method works on hero though, i would imagine since it is the same exact directory.

good job. works on dwang 1.13 on mt3g.

re-updated this but it doesn't work for the nexus for some reason only the bouncing part i tried everything even tried my own through searching..

Works just great on Cyanogen's 5.07 Test3 Rom for the Dream/Sapphire.
Very happy with it as on this Rom the animation style was "slide" instead of "zoom", and the latter is wayyyy cooler
So thanks! This makes my whole phone-experience much nicer

No problem glad I can help still trying to figure out how to make this work for Android 2.1 phones.

I am using an Android 2.1 phone...
[Edit] Got to admit: while applying this theme the telephone reboots by itself (during the update). After booting up all works fine though. Just applied the new DarkStar theme which removed the blur-effect so after flashing that theme I Metamorphed this Blur morph again, phone rebooted, and works well yet again (Cyanogen 5 Test3 + hotfix + DarkStar 2 + Blur anims + Cloverdale's Blackbar + overclock kernel = phone heaven)

[ROM] Virtuous v3.2.0 (12/19/10): Stock Sense *3.26.605.1* w/Fixes & Enhancements

After asking around, I determined there was some interest in a simple, mostly-stock ROM based on the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release with only essential changes made; so I decided to go ahead and create one.
ROM Details:
Based entirely off the off the the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release (pulled from signed RUU); which is being rolled out by Verizon via OTA as the final build.
Moved some stock applications to /data/app, so they can easily be removed. To be clear, these apps remain enabled but can now be optionally removed using any Android uninstaller, rather than having to do it manually. This includes: App Sharing, Adobe Flashplayer, Car Panel, Flashlight, GenieWidget, PDFViewer, Quickoffice, Teeter, My Verizon, 3G Hotspot and YouTube.
All apps placed in /data/app by the ROM will be automatically restored after a date wipe or factory reset (a special feature of this ROM). These apps can be freely uninstalled via Settings->Applications or the uninstaller of your choice. Note: They will return when the ROM is re-installed or upgraded.
Disabled applications which the majority seems to agree are bloat, unneeded or can installed from the Market. This includes: Amazon MP3, City ID, HTC Footprints/Widget, VZ Navigator, Skype. If you decide you would like to use any of these apps, the APKs are available in the "system/virtuous" directory.
Numerous customization options via ROM Manager, such as Virtuous' EZ-Customizer which allows removal of more stock apps without the use of adb or shell, status bar mods provided by pmf, Incredible Revolution theme and more.
Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.
Minor theme modifications to remove GPS locator icon in the status bar and add transparency to the notification pull down menu. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom (aka pmf) and aiccucs for doing the work.
Added the Busybox installer application to allow upgrades as they become available. When running the installer, make sure to select /system/xbin as the destination.
Updated Adobe Flash to the official release provided to N1 users via the Market.
Updated Google Search and Google Voice Search to the latest Market versions.
Updated Gmail 2.2.1. The default ROM includes 2.2, so this is a minor upgrade to the latest version available.
Audio fixes to correct slow playback ("devil voices") of Flash videos on certain sites.
Removed startup "Drooooooid" sound. It was annoying.
Added the bash shell for those who work in adb or ssh into their phones. Just run "bash" to use it (it is not the default shell for compatibility reasons).
Removed cdrom.iso to avoid being prompted to install Verzion/HTC hardware when the device is connected via USB.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Wipes are NOT required for any upgrade to/from any 2.x version of the ROM; downgrades are a different story.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 6-10 minutes. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Download ROM Here
(Changelog)​

Hboot Upgrade Instructions
As of Virtuous 3.2.0, hboot 0.92 is now required. This hboot shipped with the original Froyo OTA for the Incredible.
Download this file and place it at root of your sdcard.
Boot into the bootloader. There are several ways to do this. If you are already booted into Android, use Quickboot and select the Bootloader option. You can also use adb by typing "adb reboot bootloader". Or, simply power down the device. Once it is off, hold the volume down button and then press power.
Once in the bootloader, select the first option from the menu "bootloader". You should see a progress bar on the right side of the screen. If you do not, you did not perform step #1 correctly or your sdcard is not formatted FAT32.
You will then be prompted to confirm flashing boot, bootloader and recovery. Hit volume up to confirm and then reboot.
At this point hboot is upgraded. I recommend reinstalling Virtuous (either via ROM Manager or manually) just to be safe.

Thanks for this rom! I want to install footprints. I've tried with root explorer r/w on and off as well as astro. I've put the files in sytem/app, tried from disabled folder and even the sd card. It always goes through the install process correctley but always ends with

Thank you very much for this rom!

This looks great. I'm mildly sure this is sort of what jdkeclipse was trying to accomplish. This is how the OP is done well and done right. Thanks rmk40
You should just throw some screenshots in there regardless of the fact that it's a stock rom.

you will probably have to push it through recovery with adb. I have noticed that if I use root explorer to add things to system/app they usually will not work for some reason, and the only way it will is through recovery or if I make a small flashable zip file.

Thank you! The app works but the widget does not?

Rmk, you just released it and a newer leak showed up today. Are you by chance going to mod the new one as well with your touches?

Haha, this awesome. Right after u get done with the work A new leak is released. Regardless this is very much appreciated.

Since that's an HTC app, you'll need to do that via recovery. Boot into recovery, adb shell, mount /system and go ahead and copy/move the files.

I just saw it. Yes, that's definitely the plan.
We need to get it deodexed, figure out which bugs are present in the new leak, etc. As soon as I have something I feel confident works well, I'll go ahead and put it up.

you will need to do the same thing with the footprintswidget apk.

Updated to base on today's 3.21.605.1 OTA.

Got home to a pleasant surprise! Got 2.0 flashed, and got a quadrant score of ~1300. Flashed KiNgxKernel BFS #1 and jumped my quadrant up to ~1600 running at 1113mhz. Also got solid 36s in linpack.
Ty for throwing this together. Was exactly what I was looking for! Even down to the boot animation sound. Gotta figure out how to change the boot animation still... kinda new to this.
Anyway, solid work. Keep us posted if anything new shows up.

Is bump charging still needed or does the phone finally charge properly?

NCX HTC Clock themes **Deodexed ROMs only**

I've decided to make my ClockWidget skins available to all HTC sense users thus making them available here in the Android Themes section since these are not ROM dependent
These only will work on Sense ROMs that have been deodexed.
Before installing anything be sure to backup your current ROM in case you don't like the clock or just want to switch back.
Now that the important stuff is taken care of, here's the clocks:
as far as i can tell, this is the biggest collection of clocks available on XDA for HTC Sense devices, not only are they not monochrome, they are of the highest quality and bring some color to your home screen. I was tired of having the same boring clock so i started making my own, especially after finding not that many clocks i actually liked.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

If your Rooted, you should have ClockMod Recovery installed
move the .zip's you want to install to your sd card's root before proceeding further!
there are 3 ways to get to Recovery: (this is the method for using .zip files to install themes that are set up as an update.zip)
1. ROM Manager - "Reboot into Recovery"
2. ADB command in SDK - "adb reboot recovery"
3. holding down the volume down and power button on the phone, then it will load the H-Boot screen, once there use the volume down button to move to "Recovery" hit the power button to select the option, once there you should see a black screen with green text that shows recovery options you have.
After you make it to recovery, choose:
"Install Zip from SD-Card"
(you can either use the Optical Trackball to select the options or the volume keys (up and down)
to select the option, press the Optical Trackball's button once you highlight the correct option.
Then choose: "Choose zip from sdcard"
it will load all the contents of your SD Card on the screen
again, use the trackball or volume keys to select the file you want to install, once highlighted, hit the trackball button.
As a precaution, the devs that made ClockMod Recovery also implemented a security incase you selected the wrong option, so you will see only one option in the next screen that says "YES" and a ton of "NO"
once selected you should see it install, after its done installing, it will take you back to the main recovery menu, once there, choose "Reboot System Now"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easiest method: ROM Manager
1. Open ROM manager, choose "Install ROM from SD card"
2. Choose the file you want to install (if it gives you an error, its because the file name has spaces in it, to fix this, rename the file so its either "filename_here" instead of "filename here" (**filename here is only an example, do not rename it to this**)
3. Once ROM manager lets you select the file to install, it will load a popup, do NOT check any of these options unless you want to make a backup, do NOT choose WIPE DATA and CACHE, this will format the ROM causing all your saved passwords, settings, apps to be all erased.
4. Click Ok, and the phone will reboot into recovery, auto install that file, then reboot automatically back to the OS.
Note: Some of my files (before i started to use ROM manager) weren't named with this app in mind as an installation method, so file names like "NCX StockSilver Blue" would have to be renamed to NCX_StockSilver_Blue, the simplest method is to replace spaces with _ or -
if this helps anyone, please be sure to give your thanks and don't forget, i gladly accept donations to keep my work moving forward, especially when the Thunderbolt comes out and is rooted.

Awesome. Thx

Can these be used on a 2.2 rom?
Thanks

Man, I am loving the tron blue style as well as many of the other styles. I use a stock HTC Evo. Can these only be used with a rooted Evo? I would love to be able to use these with mine without rooting. If that is so, is there anything out there like this for non rooted phones?
Than you.

To answer your question, the framework on the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G are not compatible with each other as far as mods goes.
But Its not entirely hard to port it over to be used on the EVO 4G, its a matter of when I have the time to do it.

I actually specifically chose not to do this even though the images are in "portrait" orientation because it more matches how it would look on the xoom (since you're more likely to hold that in portrait mode, I feel).
With yours it looks like it's falling from right to left, mine/xoom is top to bottom. Thanks for the alternative but all it does is make me want to turn my phone into portrait mode when booting

The image just seemed squished on my end, anyhoo choice is always good.

CWM zip works great, thanks!

Hmm... After adding it in there and flashing it to the phone... I actually prefer the alternative with the image rotated.
It does appear to be going at an angle from left to right but I still think it's just as pimp as the original and it looks a bit more uniform and not so stretched...
Either way, me likey! Thanks brotha!

Could you advise a rookie? Do I need a custom ROM for this, or can I change it on the STOCK ROM?
I Am rooted and through Linda Manager can see System/Media and bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
advice?
Thanks

You'll want to use an application called ROM Manager. (tis the easiest way)
It can be downloaded from the Market. Search for it, download it...
Since you're device is rooted you will not have to do that part but ROM Manager requires root access so you're good to go there.
Next step is to open up the ROM Manager app.
Tap "FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY"...
Tap "Allow" when superuser prompts...
Next you will want to make sure you have placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip on your device via USB Mass Media mode. Copy/Paste it right into the device drive.
Release/Eject the device from Windows.
Turn off USB Storage access on your device.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Now open up ROM Manager again.
Tap on "Reboot into Recovery"...
Once the device reboots, if you find yourself at a screen that is in BLUE text (Recovery), you must use the Volume Down key to navigate to "Reinstall Packages", click the power button to select. You may have to do this once or twice. But once it works your device will reboot into a screen with GREEN text (ClockWorkMod).
Once you are in CWM, use the Volume keys to navigate to "Install .zip from SD card"... You will have to kind of navigate around and find where you placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip file.
Navigate past the crazy amount of No's and click Yes - Install...
Navigate with the volume buttons to "Go Back"...
Navigate to "Reboot" the device...
That should do it.

you will need a custom ROM (or at least kernel) that supports AOSP bootanimation.zip format. by default, the samsung kernels play the above bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, but almost any available custom kernel will support the bootanimation.zip support.

All it needs is sound. Something to do with pulsating energy.

So I tried this and it didnt work. I get an error saying:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?

That's what I get when I flash from CW sometimes, but it still takes for me. Did you try rebooting and seeing if it was actually there?

Master™ has made a white version of this, available here
Notes
[CM7 Based ROMs] If you are having troubles actually seeing the changes after successfully applying Camera.apk, make sure you are using the System theme in Theme Chooser.
[General] If you are having issues, check and see if you are using the correct download version. Stock ROMs and Axura use CameraGoogle.apk and CM7 (possibly others?) use Camera.apk. I will try and make this irrelevant in my update.zip, but for now just take note.

I'm using Axura 1.1.2.0 and the camera app just FC's.
Probably because of the ROM.
I'll try tomorrow sometime when I load up CM7 or something.
Looks fantastic, though!
I love simple black on this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the Axura mention, I haven't personally used it, so I don't know what Master has changed for it. Has he themed Camera.apk at all?
Thanks for that though, I also love the blacks on it! I just absolutely hated that grey speckled stuff!
Hope you get to use it soon somehow

I do not believe that he has skinned it, but I could be wrong. I hate the stock camera app so I have only ever opened it once since launch, haha.
Much prefer Camera 360 or Vignette.

THANKS! looks very nice, CM should theme the camera.apk like this

Yes, I did
P.s OP.. Looks great.
The attached one works on Axura

Thank you. It looks great!

Can I just delete the camera.apk and move this into it's place with root explorer?

I've never tried it personally, but you could test it for me if you want
If that doesn't work though don't worry, I have a copy of stock camera to restore if you need.
I can't see why not though, ill see if it works with root enabled ES in a minute.
Edit: ES doesn't seem to like performing operations from /system even with the root option, so just as a test, copy your current Camera.apk to somewhere safe, then delete the one in /system/app. If it lets you, then you should be right to just move my themed Camera.apk in its place.

No, it didn't work for me
I copied the stock camera app and moved it into my SD card. Then I deleted it and moved the themed camera app into it's place and rebooted. It wasn't appearing anywhere so I went back into it and tried to install it but it kept saying "application not installed" so idk what I can do now
I really want this modded camera app too! I can't adb push it either, I'm having a lot of problems installing the sdk and drivers

If you have CWM recovery, I will try to make an update.zip which you can use. I'm just having a few issues with creating them right now, but I should have one by the end of today (my time it's only 7:30am for me).
That said, if anyone else wants to help by creating an update.zip, PM me and I'll add it to the OP.

A zip that I could flash would be awesome! If I could help, I would haha

use root explorer to install apk
1. get the XXX.apk to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the XXX.apk you are wanting to install
4. long press the XXX.apk file and choose copy options (you will see the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/app/XXX.apk and paste file
6. long press XXX.apk and change permissions.
These should be checked: (1)User/read, (2)Group/read, (3)Others/read and (4)User/Write
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and the change permission process. When done reboot.

Which ones should be checked off?

To keep it simple. Check the permission of another app in the system/app files. The permissions are all the same.

That didn't work for me either unfortunately

I used root explorer daily when I was flashing nightly builds and this is the way I install boot animations and framework.apk etc. It may be missing one step in the install precess.
I edited my post earlier for in hope the permissions checks are clearer to the readers.
I don't flash gapps anymore when on cm rom. I install the themed market, I like this, and go from there. I am confident in the process.

I followed every step and the camera remains the same as before

@SubyWill
I use a camera apk that is totally blacked out. I just installed the op's camera apk. It installed. This one and the camera button, picture viewer and video images all have a greyed ring around them.

Can u please make it to where we can flash it?
