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):

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.

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?

[STOCK]Transitions Framework-res.apk

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.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS. NANDROID BACKUP IS YOUR FRIEND HERE WITH ANYTHING YOU DO. THIS WAS DONE ON MY ON TESTING...I CANNOT PROMISE THE SAME RESULTS. FOR USE WITH STOCK ROMS ONLY...WILL REPLACE ANYTHING YOU CURRENTLY HAVE

I suggest using root explorer and moving it to the correct folder which would be
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

So im not arguing or bickering with you about it. Like I stated before, it work on both roms when I flashed AND when i used the root explorer method. So when a problem arises, a fix will be created. If you wanna REALLY help me out here, try it for yourself

di11i's ROM and Themes - Q&A

@everyone
ROM thread: link
ROM themes thread: link
I created this Q&A thread for this ROM to prevent tons of new threads about ROM specific questions from new users. Please feel free to post any questions here.
When posting a question, please make sure to mention:
ROM version
Kernel and version
Any theme, if applicable
Modem, if applicable
Also, please give some time for your question to be answered. Devs in particular are pretty busy churning out something or other for us. So be patient.
1. No question is too noobish, but please learn to do a search first, be it on this thread, or some other thread in this forum.
2. Before asking any questions regarding task killers and why they shouldn't be used, I would recommend reading this post: Android Memory Management

Glad to be of some help dilli. Thought this might help reduce Q&A style posts on the ROM thread.
I stopped even coming to 'dev' forums to look for ROMs since I know most ROMs now would be 2.2.1 based at the most, and well I feel I am on the best possible ROM already. Most of my time now is in the Q&A and General sections outside our three threads (ROM, themes, and this new Q&A now).

Sup my glitter ball bruthers,
Been using gballs sincemy first flash cuz it seemed to have the least problems and the best support and satisfaction....firstflashed 2/13. I am using suckerpunch #51 1ooomhz (so f'ing fast i need too slow down) also using dillis bluetheme and the latest add on
I was just wondering about modems. it seems there are newer modems than the one that is included with dilies6.0 .... jl2, i believe. Am i just confused or should i consider a different modem, if so why, or why not?
ive also noticed a new service since the newest addon other than the new keyboard service running all the time and periodically starting and restarting
It is called Sns service ... do i need this service?
If not how can i get rid of it?
Oh and,
Gballs Unite!!!!!!

Running di11i v6, unthemed, no mods/changes. (Been on it nearly 2 weeks....very nice.) Can't do adb remount - it returns Permission denied. Tried other threads suggestions to similar problem. TiBU works and shows busybox, SU shows TiBU as having root access. Reflashed di11i again along with TiBU but still having same issue.
Haven't ever had to post before - you guys do a great job; easy to follow along in other threads. I just can't seem to find an answer that works.
* Just noticed with adb shell> su the phone prompts for allowing SU permission for the shell. Even though I allowed it, I still can't remount (displays "operation not permitted" now). So it's definately not a problem with the ROM/add-ons - never really thought so but....if anyone has any ideas.

official 2.2 tomorrow.

Learning as much as I can from Mobile Tech Vids. Got the OC Di11i 6.0. How do I add the Blue theme. Downloaded your version 3 and 5 (want to put boot anni on the 5). I know the answer is starring me in the face, I'm just not seeing it. Thanx.
BTW- Been using Bay_Wolf's AIO Captivate toolbox. So...I've kinda been cheating and doing things the easy way....which means there's alot I'm not familiar with.
Also-If I change wallpapers, how do I get the Android wallpaper back without re-flashing the rom? (I'll prob keep comming up with a bunch of dumb questions, sorry. I hardly even know how to use this forum ex: what are stars and what's up with the thanks meter?)

Option 1 (simplest)
Apply 3, reboot, then apply 5. Simple and straight forward method if u do not want to mess around.
Option 2 (easy)
Apply 5.
Copy the zip attached to this post "as it is" into ur /system/media folder using an app like 'root explorer'.
Option 3 (depends on ur current skill level)
Open the v5 in winzip or winrar.
Create a folder called 'media' in the 'system' folder (the folder in which u see the 'framework' and 'app' folders).
Copy this zip 'as it is' into that.
Apply the updated v5.
Option 4 (simplest and easiest)
Check the links post (post 4). I will update with a link to v5 with boot animation included.
My mistake: I just downloaded the zip. It includes the boot animation Sorry about the confusion. Looks like I uploaded the zip with boot animation.

Assuming u r on dilli's ROM, u would have clock work recovery console already loaded. Steps below based on that assumption:
1. Copy the theme zip to ur SD card root.
2. Boot into clockwork recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there).
3. Install the zip file using the option 'apply zip from SD card', then 'select zip from sd card' and then selecting the theme zip file (words framed may not be exact but convey the same anyways).
Only if u r NOT on dilli's ROM:
If u are on some other ROM, and not have CWM console, or u do not know what that is:
1. Rename the theme file to 'update.zip',
2. Copy this update.zip to ur SD card root
3. Go into recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there)
4. Select the option there that says something like 'apply: update.zip'

[MOD] Stop MMS in your Call Logs - JS5, JS7, KB1 Tested

Fix to Get Rid of the MMS Notification in your Call Logs
Apologies about the brief post earlier today, was at work and a bit of a hurry. Here is a more detailed method.
This was created from the JS5, i9000 source, but has been confirmed to also work on JS7 and KB1.
This will not remove exisiting notifications, but will stop new ones from popping up.
I do not take credit for the original fix, my source is listed below.
Clockwork Flashable zip file below to apply this fix, the steps are listed because I was asked for the process, but if you just want the mod, just flash the file at the bottom of this post.
This assumes you have knowledge of apkmanager or apktool to decompile the apk's, and notepad++ or another way to compare and edit the smali's. Those are lessons for another thread.
I happened upon this thread this morning over in Vibrant Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988929
Which led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177 (Go Hit mammon88's thanks button)
-Grab the LogsProvider.apk from the Epic thread, second one linked, and decompiled using apkmanager.
-Move that file somewhere else, maybe even rename the folder, you won't need it again, and it will be the example folder/files.
-Take the LogsProvider.apk from your rom, and decompile with apkmanager or similar program.
-Inside the decompiled apk, using the one in the apkmanager folder here, not the Example Folder, browse to \smali\com\sec\android\provider\logsprovider, and open the LogsProvider.smali with notepad++ (that what I recommend using)
-Now from you Example Folder, drag the corresponding smali file to notepad++, and it will be in a new tab.
-In notepad++, hit Plugins->Compare->Compare, and the differences in the files are highlighted.
-Recreate the edits in the example to your main file, and save.
-Recompile the apk being sure to delete the classes.dex in the process.
These steps may/will work for comparing and editing other files, but be cautious. I didn't go in blindly and say "Eureka" on the first differences I saw. I compared every smali and xml, being cautious in editing, and got lucky on my first shot. Thankfully this apk only has a handful of smali files, first one I've ever decompiled that had less than 40. If you follow my steps, don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work, especially if you failed to make a backup.
The zip below is flashable via Clockwork Recovery. Backup as always, cause hey, it happens.

Thats interesting. I thought that Bionix 1.3.1 was KB1 (Android 2.2) based. Well hell, as long as it works, although be on the lookout for the odd issue or two, as this was sourced from the European i9000 JS5 port, and is all I've tested it on. Thx for the confirmation.

[APP] Stock TouchWiz 3.0 (Flashable in CWM)

This is the entire Touchwiz 3.0 Launcher that is in a Flashable zip. Just download it, flash it in ClockWorkMod and you are good to go.
This is for those of us that enjoy the functionality of custom Roms, but would like our Epic to look like an Epic. I know that isn't many, but it's here for those who want it.
I have tested it on Stock EB13 and a few custom Roms with no problem. I have not yet tried it with CM7 or other Phones. If I could get some people to test that, that would be great.
I know this isn't marvelous, but it is stock, and I was not a fan of how the customized TouchWiz launchers looked. So I hope people find this useful on Roms that do not include TouchWiz.
Please leave comments if you try it and let me know how it works and if there are any problems. Please let me know if it works on any other galaxy phones or any other phones in general.
This is my first contribution to this forum, so if I have helped, please lend me some thanks, I promise to pay you back

Can you post some screens and does this have the puzzle lock screen?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

And if you do a Tiitanium backup before installing the custom ROM, when you install this you can restore the data for it in Titanium to get your homescreens back the way they were. Had to do this many times on my g/fs phone...she resists change LOL.

It is stock TouchWiz, so no it does not have the puzzle piece. I can post some screen shots later, but it is just stock TouchWiz, it looks the same as when you first bought your Galaxy S.
I know titanium works, but not everyone has it backed up, and it would be a pain to reinstall stock just to get the TWlauncher so here it is. Also I find that when I reinstall with titanium it is full of broken links on my homescreen
But yes, my Wife is the same way, which is why I put this together. Actually she was thinking about moving to an Evo 3D, if someone has an HTC device, can they see if this works, (I recommend using CWM, but try with whatever recovery you have).

You can take the twframework file and port it to another Galaxy S phone. But no not as it is, not all images are called the same file name. Plus some of xml's are different.

I love that you made this and it bailed me out of a jam a few days ago.
I recently flashed the leaked EH06 ROM and love it. The EH06 TouchWiz allows you to customize the order of your apps in the app drawer. I made a zip that would include all the Samsung widgets as well as TwFrameworks for anyone looking for the a minor TouchWiz update. Its as of the moment untested because my phone is dead.
All credit to Censura_Umbra for the original zip that I used and Decad3nce for the EH06 zip file I took the files from.
EDIT:
The Zip below doesn't work because I'm a dumb ass. I'm new to the whole rom/moding comunity and just learned about signing Zip files. The link below doesn't even have the update script. I'm going to keep working on this.

Well I'm glad I could help. If you think your new development will be well received then you should make a thread for it, I doubt anyone will find it in here lol
