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.

sent from my beos computer
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)
I'm no longer keeping up with NAND on the vogue. So if anyone would like to keep me informed and email me or post me on any changes with NAND, ill be happy to add the news on the first post. The lock up issue with NAND has been fixed!
This is simply for any noobs or others who are having issues with Android and NAND.
IMPORTANT!!!
FOR VOGUE USERS ONLY
I am not responsible for any bricked or messed up devices. By continuing you are agreeing to my simple rule.
MY SIMPLE RULE: I owe you nothing.
I will help you through the way though if you bricked or need any sort of help.
How-to Video up NOW!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gTkJkOc7m4
​
First off, What is NAND?
To keep it simple...its your phones internal memory. Up untill recently we (Vogue Users) had to run Android off our SD cards using HARET. But thats another story.
What are the benefits of running from NAND? (based on what I have seen)
-Runs faster
-Longer Battery life
-faster boot up
-can be faster to put together.
-Easier to connect your vogue with android to your pc and sync
-Much more convenient.
So how do I start?
STEP1:
The Build
First you need to find a Build that is usable with NAND. Most Hero builds at this moment are not. Here are some links:
Donut 1.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104
Hero
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603028
Cupcake 1.5
Method 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING JUST YET! I WILL TELL YOU WHEN A GOOD TIME WOULD BE
You may want to consider reading the rest...
STEP2:
Base Files (Most builds will supply these)
For all builds (Except the Link in Cupcake "instructions are givin in the download.) you will need a basic set of base files. The link below contains the 3 basic empty files for all builds and Systems.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/Androidstuff.rar
IF
You are using Hero make sure you download hero.user.conf too:
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/hero.user.conf
-create a new folder called conf
-and place hero.user.conf in your new folder.
STEP3:
Rootfs
After you have the Base files you will need a rootfs. Depending on your Build, you may need a different type then the one I am going to supply you. Most builds will supply you with one. This one is DZO's rootfs.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/rootfs.img
STEP4:
Prepare
-You need to clean out your storage on your SD. Make sure you delete everything.
-Create a file called android on your desktop.
-Download the base files, unzip, open folder, and place all 3 in your android folder
-Download the rootfs and place them in your android folder. Make sure you either download DZO's or the one your Build provides.
-Download a System.img. When you download a System most likely it will have a different name such as system-hero-123.img. You need to rename it system. So it should look like system.img . Then place it in your android folder.
-If you are using Hero place your conf folder in your android folder.
-Depending on your Build (mostly Hero) you may also need a Data file. The build you select should supply one. Download it and place it in your Android Folder
STEP5
Placing
Open up your android folder of all your collected files and select all, copy, and paste into your empty SD card.
STEP6
Unlocking
If you have never flashed a ROM before than you don't have HardSPL installed. So unlock your phone with...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
Make sure you follow the forums directions.
STEP7
Method
Method1: The way I do it.
Download ROMUpdateUtility.rar
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/ROMUpdateUtility.rar
Extract to a newfolder
Download a kernel with your screen size
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
Don't know your screen size...check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544906
After you have have gotten the kernel:
rename it to RUU_signed and place it in the ROMUpdateUtility folder you created.
NOW you need to plug your phone into your computer. Establish active sync. And run ROMUpdateUtility.
-Follow the Instructions on the screen.
Method 2 and 3 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
This also shows my method...but a little less detail. You can also find many other helpful things there.
If you fail OR think your bricked your phone.
You will need to download one of these depending on your carrier...Make sure you download the shipped gps rom. (If you are Verizon skip down)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=191607
Than you will put your phone in boot mode. Hold the Camera and Power button. While holding both of them...get a pen or something small and hit the little restart button on the bottom of your phone. You may have to hold it for like a second.
-you will see three color bars on your phone
-plug your phone into your computer
-run the backup
After your phone is all back to normal. Make sure you run internet explore on your phone. It will enable you to get data.
For Verizon follow the instructions here.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
That is about it. I'm sure I forgot some stuff and will add on to this. Make sure you donate to the Devs for all their hard work.

great thread. I've run both from nand and sdcard. i have not messed with ext2 on the sdcard.
I agree with 3 for sure. I would also add that there is a deep gratification in wiping win mo off the sdcard
6 is debatable, depends on which conveniences you want. changing lcd.density, changing resolution are all much faster running from the sdcard - no flashing or messing with build.prop, just edit default.txt and reboot (aside - if you have a non-sdhc card you can flash on the fly from the sdcard, but changing lcd.density still requires pulling and pushing files from the system, which is not as easy as changing the default.txt). also more convenient to back-up or revert to a data.img when running from sdcard. definitely booting straight into android is convenient, as is the new mass storage on boot method, as well as having a re-writable system (which you also have using ext2).
1 and 2, I honestly have not noted a significant difference in battery life. With a fast sdcard, I don't think there is a significant difference in speed either - dzo has said this in one of the non-vogue forums as well. i have not tried any sense builds from the sdcard though, and that's where you would notice the greatest difference in speed if there is any.
4 I agree with in general.
I think running from the nand is a huge advance, and great for everyone to try. but, running from the sdcard is still a decent way to use android. choosing between the two comes down to choosing which conveniences suit your usage style the most.
One last thing - please add vilord to your donate links (his google ion on vogue thread), he has been instrumental in developing the ril and advancing android on the vogue. srwalter also deserves mention for his reverse engineering of the libgps.so to bring gps first to cupcake and now to donut as well. jamezelle, plemen, mssmison, zenulator, enatefox, f00bar (no specific order) have all worked hard porting roms and working on things like compcache, swap, modem, etc, which has all been invaluable (zenulator and mssmison deserve special credit for spearheading the porting business). however the gruntwork of porting to the vogue has been done mainly by dzo who brought us the kernel and initial ril and now nand (he's just frickin amazing, he singlehandedly got the first functioning port to the vogue and others helped from there), then vilord who took the ril and really refined it. I guess suffice to say, there have been a lot of people involved along the way, thanks to all of them.

Can I delete those files from the SD when flashing is done?

Yes that is correct, as for deleting the files...I would assume you could. But im not sure. Maybe they are still needed on boot. Never hurts to try though.

Wait...NVM you want data to work right?
If you are using donut...try to restart your phone one time. After it boots back up you should see a 3g symbol appear on the notification bar.
If that does not work...go to your apps and open modem. Click once on disconnect and then once more. Then click connect.
Tell me if that works...
I shall take no credit for any of this. Smartsreenath first put me onto the idea, and pretty much anyone if this forum could've managed it. I just had the time to do it all.
Woo! Snakehult, being a genius, has made a clever little zip that uses proper scripts to just change the required value, instead of the whole file. So! Instead of me making an insane number of zips every time ROMs are updated use these instead. Cheers Snakehult!
Attached is a zip file with a whole lot of flashable zips in it. Don't flash the zip you download, extract that one somewhere and look inside
How to use:
Download the attached zip file, and extract it to somewhere on your computer. Inside the zip are a bunch of folders, each folder named after a ROM for the HTC Legend. Navigate into the folder that shares the name of whatever ROM you are using and inside you will find 6 zip files. These zips are flashable. The the zips are names thus: xxx.zip, where xxx is a number. The lower the number, the higher the apparent resolution. Choose a zip, copy it to your SD card and flash it like any other zip. To revert back to how it was simply flash the "160.zip". This just flashes a completely un-modified version of build.prop for your ROM. Make sure you only use the zips form the correct folder for your ROM, or funny things *might* happen.
More info:
By editing the build.prop file it is possible to increase the dpi of an Android device. This essentially scales everything down, so you can fit more on the screen. This is especially nice for browsing the market and the internet; as well as improving, in my opinion, the overall Android experience. The lower the number in the name of the zip, the higher the apparent resolution. It's worth noting that this does *not* change the actual resolution of the Legend; it's still a HVGA device. So you still can't install apps designed for bigger, more powerful phones, like the HTC Desire or Nexus One. This is a somewhat flawed way of achieving this effect, and can have some ugly side effects:
Some apps simply don't scale
HTC-IME mod ends up screwed
Games *can* be rendered unplayable, but not always. Often the menu is the worst affected part.
A work around to fix a number of issues is to disable the built in compatibility mode of Android, and if I knew a way to do this through a zip, rest assured that I would. It'd save me having to explain how to do it. Alas, I don't know how, so here's how:
In your ROM look for an app called "Spare parts". If it's not there look for it in the market. If you open that app and scroll down to the bottom you will find a checkbox option for "Compatibility mode". Ensure that this is *un-checked*, then reboot. Most issues will be resolved. As I learn more about Android I shall keep an eye out for a way to force apps to scale correctly, and if I ever find one I'll update these.
I have also tried values higher than usual, just for kicks. I don't expect them to be useful, nor will I make actual zip files for them, but I went all the way up to 200; and it felt like I was using an HTC wildfire: everything was really quite cramped.
My personal favourite setup is as follows:
CM 6.1, with a 768MHz overclock
My "lcd-density" (this MOD) set to 130
Launcher Pro Plus with 5 icon rows
Below is a paste of what was the first post (when I was just trying to fix a ****-up on my part), and is now here for reference. It has all of the original build.prop files attached.
Attached is a .zip file, which you will need to extract somewhere. It's not for flashing. Within this zip are several folders, each containing a "build.prop". You'll notice that each folder is named after a ROM: Azure, NeonMOD etc. The "Based-on-stock" folder should cover these ROMs:
[ROM] Based on Official WWE_2.03.405.3 ROM + A2SD [Rev 03 - released]
[ROM] UPDATED Almost Stock Legend HTC WWE 2.03.405.3 Radio 7. 08.35.21
You'll need to use ADB to push these files, as I haven't had time to make flash-able zip's for them yet
Instructions:
1. Extract the zip to a suitable directory, and locate the appropriate build.prop
2. Copy the build.prop to your AndroroidSDK/tools folder
3. Reboot your phone into ClockworkMOD recovery and navigate the the "Partitions menu", then click "mount /system"
4. Connect your phone to the PC and start CMD/a terminal window in your AndroidSDK/tools folder
5. Run the command "adb devices" to ensure that the ADB server is running, and that the PC has detected your device correctly
6. Run these commands in this order:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
This will put your resolution back to default, but should fix everything else too. If you still want a higher resolution then follow the guides in posts 1 and 2 of the other thread. This one.
If you can't use ADB for whatever reason you'll just have to wait it out until myself or someone else create proper, flash-able, fixes. I have done this to try and quickly rectify the issue; assuming, of course, that most people in this forum can use ADB
I will make proper zips, but it's getting late for me...

hi
here is a zip for neonmod 0.21 with 135lcd, flashed it on my legend today with rom manager
Wow do we have a lot of ROMs...
Anyhoo, I am currently working on appropriate flashable zips for each ROM, and each ROM will have the following versions:
110
120
130
140
150
160 (original)
I'm doin' 'em as fast as I can..
EDIT:
Current thoughts:
All build by Ali Ba have nice, short build.prop files. The current record for the longest one it held by MyTouch Legend...

I was trying to look for a way to change the sense flip clock from white with black letters to black with white letters. I'm coming from WM6.5 phones so android sense themes are different to me. I'm running the Liberated Froyo w/ sense ROM right now. I was looking at something like this, but not sure if it would work.

I'm completely new to Android scene as a whole, but I think I understand enough of the basics to try and help you out here. I compared the image sizes between the link you posted and the original HTC Clock Widget on the Aria, and the linked clock's are larger.
I went through and resized all the images to the Aria's, and tried to make it look as close as I could to their theme. I attached a thumbnail of what I ended up with.
I included the altered HtcClockWidget.apk to this post, which you'll need to push to /system/app/ in Recovery (that's what I did it anyways). Hopefully this is what you're looking for. [I didn't change the preview thumbnail, so it won't look any different within the widget itself until you actually place it on a homescreen.]
That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks! I tried to push it in recovery and after I rebooted, the clock widget is gone and now I have a 0.0dip widget that fails to load when I try to load it. Is it because I'm using a different rom?
Hmm, that's strange. I am also using the FR001 Liberated Froyo with Sense.
When you went into Recovery, did you mount /system/ from the partitions menu and then push the file?
I'm not really sure why it wouldn't work. I'll attach a stock copy of HtcClockWidget.apk for you to push back just in case you can't get it working.
Yeah I went into recovery, mounted the /system, pushed the apk in /system/app/, then rebooted. weird might be because i'm using FR003 deodexed I'm guessing?
Actually I just reflashed to FR005 deodexed now and pulled the apk from it. maybe this can help?
The only thing I can think might be wrong is that I'm not using deodexed (I honestly don't really even get the different between the two)? Anyways, I altered the apk you just posted from 005, so hopefully this time it'll work.
I just pushed that latest file and it finally worked. Much thanks! I guess the first one can be used for standard and the last one you posted can be used for deodexed.
btw I read this thread to find out about what deodexed was

CM7 full build will not run on Droid X because of the bootloader, however, does not mean you can not take out certain parts of the CM7 build.
Did you try installing the app on your Droid X? I have tried doing this with other device with SOME success. However, the package apps with CM7 are built into CM7's framework. You would have to pull other apk's from the framework, ie. "settings".
I know the full CM7 is not loadable on the X (obvioulsy), find the full framework of the CM7 build you pulled the messaging app from and search through it to find other related apks, zips, and files that you might also need. If you are infact trying to insert them into your Droid X. Good luck!!
Post up if you succed!!

you best bet is to find a freind or something that is already running the CM7 build you want the messaging app out of. Access Root Explorer, search "mms", hard press each file, zip, apk, etc. extract or copy each file (if you extract a new folder will appear on the SD card for them), DO NOT "go to extracted" click "stay here" take those files off the SD card, and try to match them up with whichever ROM you are running and replace. No guarantee that will work, but its your best bet. Its what I had to do. MAKE A BACK-UP of your current ROM first AND do this with the full knowledge you may not be able to boot up again, so make sure you have a good recovery installed and the back-up of your ROM on the root of your SD card.
