Wondering if it's gonna be possible to somehow get that on my phone the animation when the screen turns off on the nexus S it looks like the blinking after a tv turns off I dont know if you guys have seen it but I loved it and I would love to see if it would be possible to somehow get it)

I have looked in the anim folder in framework-res.apk, but I don't think it's in there. Any other ideas?
There is already a thread for this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875304
And yes, I want this badly.
Yea I poked around in the couple of "dumps" posted and can't find the images/shutdown ani related to this.
If it is a shutdown animation - you would think it would be in the /system/media folder.
But .. if this just the "Power Off"/sleep menu - it could be in the framework - and you'd think the images would be in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder.
I'm just a hack though (- the "er") and like to tweak around, so I could be missing something
I want it badly as well. Im not smart enough to get it myself thats why I'm asking here, I loved it when I was messing around with the Nexus S at Best Buy

First off, I apologize to anyone who looks at this thread thinking that I am posting another screen brightness program. On the contrary I am LOOKING for a program that will allow us to control the brightness level of the phone in small increments.
Before the Fuze I had the HTC Touch which on the homescreen had the option of pressing the brightness shortcut and it would jump the brightness up a notch and then reset down to the lowest value once it got to the highest. Anyone that had this phone or a similar HTC phone that ran..... HTC Home knows what I am talking about.
While using the fuze I have always wondered why I couldn't find anything like this for newer phones. Searching for the longest times on a number of different forums left me with nothing. The automatic screen brightness control of the touch pro is less then desirable. There's times when my phones plugged in but I'm reading news in bed and I want to be able to have the brightness set to low without having to go through the settings and bugger around with it all.
That said, does anyone know of something that will do this? Or is it possible for one of the awesome program developers here to create something like this?
Here's a screen shot just for referance. By pressing the lightbulb it would change the screen brightness of the phone.
Here's the app you're looking for:

you Might also want to try Lumos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450318&highlight=lumos
this automatically adjusts your backlight depending on your light meter. It has a very quick and easy setup wizard and works wonders on your battery as well!

I have that installed.. does a good job but I'd still like the option of just being able to manually change it as well. Thanks!

This ROM is DISCONTINUED
I am sorry to say I don't find the time to further develop this ROM, if anyone wants to continue this ROM please do so. Just pm me and it's fine. Thanks for using this ROM and for your feedback. Maybe in the future I will begin a new ROM project. For now I am only developping a ROM Download Manager for the desktop, keep an eye on the portal .
Go check it out for screenshots and download :

i`ll give a chance this evening ... looks nice
I have been using this ROM for the last hour or so. I did a backup, clean wipe and fresh flash. I have let the new ROM settle and have done a manual reeboot also.
I am a humble end-user and not a dev but thought that I would give a breakdown of some of my first impressions and observations.
I like the boot annimation alot, I also like the lock screen. Both look clean.
I like the orange font used in the status bar and the pull down menu although the "Wild Ginger" wording in the drop down menu is very blury and looks ugly.
The window transistions are smooth as you like but don't feel snappy quick.
I think the new honeycomb launcher is a nice touch but doesn't seem as intuative as the regular launchers such as ADW; maybe it's because I'm not used to honeycomb yet.
My main gripe about the Honeycomb launcher is that it force closes ALL the time. I have been trying to remove the Google search bar widget that is pre-loaded on screen after first boot and it is impossible (and the widgets aren't even locked to desktop). Also I can't ADD any additional widgets - you can select a widget to add but nothing happens!
From the main screen, waiting for the menu to appear takes about 5seconds which is an age. The "Personalise Honeycomb" menu doesn't fit the whole screen and you can see thick band of the desktop down the right of the screen which is ugly.Once in the preferences menu it isn't at all clear what you are meant to do... You can see the "Apply Settings" button but it took me tapping about the rest of the screen to finally make the actual preferance choices appear.
I have tested inbound and outbound calls and wifi both work as standard. The music player has nice interface, camera works and stock browser is fine. I don't like the dark blue highlight that appears when you press on an app icon it looks clumsy.
The numbers 1,2 and 3 are almost cut in half in the dialer and the green phone "call" icon doesn't seem to fit in it's area neatly.
I like H4oxer's work on this ROM and I hope it continues to get better but with these quite apparent bugs I will respectfully wait for an update before I continue to use this ROM.
Good Work tho!
so ...
good review above .... absolutelly uselless to say more ... 100% same opinions as you EDD ! keep going h4oxer !!!
Thanks guys I really appreciate your feedback ! Will work on it!

from his blog - "Used the froyo libcamera.so library to use the camera app, capturing video still gives force closes."
I guess not
No it doesn't work..still looking into that...has something to do with gpu that we don't have!

tried to flash but no luck stuck at splash screen,did wipe,factory reset,dalvik...how long was first boot for you guys?
You'll have to wait 5-10 minutes... leave it for 10 minutes on first boot..
why I cant see any progres in progres bar in recovery,says instaling update ...
(now no progres of writing files) and afther just 10-15 sec instal complete,is this normal? usualy can see progres and takes a bit longer
Yes it's normal, I didn't payed attention at the progressbar while writing the updater file , but it works don't worry. It installs fast because it had not much apps on board. Just the essential.
10min past stil on my splash screen.no boot animatio yet

Wierd. This ROM is working fine for me. Did you wipe /data and /cache?
yes did everything...dont know simple not booting,stucked on splash screen not even bootanimation
OK....first impressions are good. Startup in less than 4 minutes. Looking good. Everything is working out of the box, no force closing or similar problems. Nice themes, Market app is interesting
LCD density set to 115 and dialpad and everything else looks good
need to be done
- icons in status bar - phone signal at least
- trackpad wakeup
- sound on lock/unlock
- 6x5 icons is too much... 4x5 would be better in my opinion
- Home screen - same as above
- when LCD density changed no way to add widgets or apps to home screen
all in all very good rom, but need a little bit of fixing

Totally agree with u.
I hope that in next version it will have trackpad & volumes wakeup to ... protect our Wildfires' poor Power Buttons
Nobody is interested in this rom?

I thought this was originally a product if poor sensors. But it wasn't. Then I thought it was a bug. Updates went by, then I saw that wasn't the case either. It just seems to be a "feature".
This feature is really beginning to annoy me! Can anyone tell me why it takes about two seconds before the screen rotates in stock Android. My G.Nex takes about the same time. I'm guessing any remedy involves rooting, which is annoying. I'm rooted, I just don't think this should be necessary for people to do (IF it's necessary).
Can anyone shed light on this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Actually if it rotates in less than a second it'll be more annoying trust me. Like if you are typing and just tilt your device a little bit, it'll be a disaster right? I don't know however if you can modify this.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Aokp and others allow you to change this. Many roms have a shorter rotation speed. They actually did quicken it, 4.0 was really slow. Yes its a feature.

I agree with this.. The feature is there to prevent you from rotating the screen by accident. Say using the cam in video chat while holding the device in your hand.. While typing and walking around..
Not sure why this is such a bother to you Not everything should be Instant.If it were instant you would also see the screen refresh as its turning the icons..
the ui . would have to turn resize screen background re position the icons and the notification/ now settings menu all in a fraction of a second. The delay helps with my first sentence as well as gives the Interface to make necessary changes for the new orientation.. Good things come to those who wait..
The rotation pause time is perfect for me.

If anyone has used the iPad, other iDevice or some other non-stock Android devices, the rotation delay is only about half a second and smooth. There is no confusion or constant accidental rotations, it's responsive rather than intentionally slow. Plus, I really don't think too many people accidentally rotate their devices too many times.
Another example is that with my N7, JB 4.2, rooted but stock, It can take up to 4 seconds to rotate on the PIN secured lock screen. In what way is this useful?
Its less than one second on my stock 4.2...
The rotation speed seems much longer on 4.2 than it did on 4.1.2. I noticed the difference immediately after updating.
You can play with the 3 screen animation parameters - they are located in setup under the developers section about half way down the page.
-Window animation scale
-Transition animation scale
-Animation duration scale
These parameters affect the speed at which the display dims and brightens, rotates and transitions..
If you set the 3 parameters to zero, you get a binary effect on all animations - in other words, a single step from one position/brightness/orientation to the next.
I found that you may have to reboot the device (or restart the window manager?) for any changes to take effect.
Hope this helps.
I am going to be honest, I don't know much about this phone quite yet. My coworker traded this phone to me and it came installed with PACMAN rom. I scrolled to the right on my lockscreen and there was a camera widget there and now my screens drivers are all messed up. There's lines all over the screen and sometimes when the screen goes to deep sleep it goes to like a negative color scheme. Any clue how to fix this?

My PACman or Echo's? -- go to about phone and see the kernel being used -- mine'll either be [email protected] or [email protected]
And what camera widget?
Still don't have any idea what your problem is, but the more info the better.
And if that widget app is the cause, better than no one else uses it.

Hi guys,
I was thinking about the possibility to make (for example) the home button of the OPO on the bottom blink for notifications in stead of the notification led at the top.
Does someone know an app that can make this happen?
Sorry if this question is already asked elsewhere but I didn't find it up till now.
Grtz
It's more than possible, it's called back-light notifications (BLN) search the playstore and you should see some apps. Though I don't understand why you'd want it, seeing how there's a notification led (that'd consume less battery), but I suppose to each their own?
Edit: Sorry had a brainfart, and forgot to mention you most likely need a kernel which supports BLN and to my knowledge no one has included it, since it's a bit redundant, and taxes the cpu and impacts battery life for no reason. It's extremely useful on phones without a notification led, and more common. But I suppose it can be easily ported to the 1+ if there's an oppo find7a kernel that supports it, if you wanted to tackle it.
Edit 2: Looked around, and apparently an app called 'LightFlow' might not need a custom kernel (?) Worth checking out.

I like the idea. But unless the capacitive buttons are bright enough to actually see... I just can't see this working all that well. Really wish the buttons were brighter so that this would be possible.
