Hey Guys,
I have been running CyanogenMod 7 on my Milestone for a while now, and I love it! But I do think it could do with a little bit more of eye candy. So I was wondering, is there anyway to port the gingerbread window animations to CyanogenMod?
I have tried a few Metamorph tricks, but wasn't successful. I also heard about an app called AnimMod which is supposed to do this, but I cant try it out as I am not allowed to buy paid apps in my country. So, I would be glad if anyone posted a link to a working procedure for changing the window animations.
All windows animations are in the framework-res.apk under the res/anim folder.
You can replace those with the GB animation files and apply again. Please note that you need to replace only those that are there in both the framework files.

Thanks for the answer.
Where can I find the gingerbread animation files? I dont have the gingerbread ROM, so would it be possible to download the files from some place.
Also, I am curious to know, why weren't these animations implemented in the CyanogenMod in the first place. I would have thought most people would appreciate the better animations of Gingerbread.
Edit: I just watched a walkthrough, and it seems that the animations in CyanogenMod are the same as those in Gingerbread. Still, it would be nice to know where I can find some new animation files
Wow I forgot that I put this together.
I named it FlyIn_FlipOut because I combined the Flying animation with the Flip Animation.
I actually spent alot of time on it pinpointing specific things which was a pain in the ass.
Anyway, it's attached.
I hope that somebody thinks that it's neat
I have attached the animation xml files for the following animation effects.
Flip
Fold
Flying
Bounce
Blur
FroyoMOD ( animations found in Luca's FroyoMOD )
All you need to do is to copy it into the folder that i mentioned in the previous post and apply it again.
Thanks Guys.
I need some more info on how to do this thing properly:
1. Where is the framework-res.apk located? I found one in the system/ framework folder but it is named as framerwork-res-mot.apk.
2. How do i change the files? and finally how do i install the apk.
In short, it would be great if you could post the steps to modify CyanogenMod to incorporate the new animations.
@zeppelinrox: Good thing you came across this post then.
Anim mod is an easy way, i use it all the time
note\ require root and busy box installed
Goodluck
Good app. Does what I wanted.
I wud still like to try out zeppelinrox's version of the animation. So could someone pls post how I could do that.

Download the theme updater flashable template zip file from here.
Download and extract the contents of the zip file provided by Zeppe to your desktop.
Your framework-res.apk is in your /system/framework folder. Using 7zip or winzip, open framework-res.apk and replace the animation files in the /res/anim folder.
Copy the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework folder of the theme updater template zip file. Copy the template zip file into openrecovery/updates folder and apply in AOR after wiping dalvik/cache.

By the way, Can I get CM7 screen on and off animation work on stock rom ?????
Thanks, but you have not removed the app link.
Regarding screen on/off animation, not possible. Its a feature of GB and not easy to port to froyo.

Could anyone create a flashable zip-file so I'll get the screen transition animations as on the nexus one for example. I am using Villainrom 5.2. I tried myself, but was unsuccessful.
Have you tried using the Spare Parts app? That has all kinds of transition and other effect options

Only does speeding up or slowing down animations, nothing more.
are you talking about the zoom out style one?search android transitions on Google,you'll have to extract framework-res.apk if I remember right!

I put the right anims in the extracted framework-res.apk, but I don't know how to compile it to apk again, and then I also don't know how to make the whole package a flashable zip. Could anyone help with that?
Can't you just use a program like 7zip to insert the resouces into the apk file and then push it via ADB?
Get the rom.zip put the framework-res file In Its place,resign and flash.I dont think you can just push the file thru adb as it will cause force closes
Thanks for all your help.
I need to extract my roms framework-res.apk and then put in new anims. How do I then make it an .apk again? And how do i sign the zip file?
Thanks.
You of course need android sdk,also java jdk search xda for resign update.zip.sorry I can't link you but am on my phone.ill be home in an hour if you want to upload the files ill do it for you
I've tried looking up how to resign update.zip's and apk's , but it says something about the autosigner won't work on windows 7 ( which is what I have ) . If it's not too much to ask, I would greatly appreciate, if you could make a flashable zip update containing the boot animations from standard 2.1 (fade in and out), that would work for villain 5.2.
Thanks for all your help .
here you go!
I prefer these animations to the slide one.Boot time takes a while 5 mins or so but it will boot! be patient i think its because it has to reconfigure framework.
Flash through custom recovery

Great... Thanks! I have opened a similar thread before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645210&page=2 but nobody could help...
I tried myself but it couldn't do it. Will be good if someone makes a tutorial or an app! Because as far as I understand this has to be done for every single rom.
EDIT:
Tested and just works great on Villain 5.2! So nice... It's a must...
Now if we just could get the epic rotation animations from Cupcake 1.6...
really want to share with you guys
i searched for a while in desirehd forum, and didn't see a thread about custom transition animation
i guess a lot of us are searching for this =]
this is the original thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849963
but i guess a detail instruction is necessary: (succeded just now)
1. copy "framework-res.apk" (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your sdcard
2. open it via 7zip on ur PC
3. Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download in the original thread) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
4. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9190418
5. download the attachment - Blank Update.zip.zip
6. Extract "Blank Update.zip.zip" then Open up the update.zip with 7zip
7. Drag your modified framework-res.apk to the "framework" folder in 7zip to overwrite the existing blank framework-res file
8. Close update.zip (agree to any messages about updating the file)
9. Copy update.zip to your sdcard
10. Flash the update.zip via ClockworkMod
havefun ^^
Not working for me...
I'm on an htc sense rom and used UOT kitchen to cook update.zip.
By the way, do you know how to get keyboard display/hide animation on stock rom?
It is far easier just to use MetaMorph and the relevant zip files can be found all over the forum. I will post them if anyone wants them.
Regards.
Anyone knows what files are for Opening and Closing an app? I want to replace only those but don´t know what xmls I have to use!
well, That works for me.
Thanks
Works great for me with Revolution HD.
Thanks

Make sure you have animations enabled in settings >> display >> animations
Great guide! I've been doing this exact same thing for some weeks now on my Leedroid based DHD
One thing i could never get working was the stock android keyboard animation. The one where the keyboard slides up and down. On Sense roms there is no animation. Anybody here managed to get that animation working with Sense?

Nope, I installed the stock android animation files on Sense ROM (Revolution HD), and I have no keyboard animation, so this must be coded somewhere else...

Work like a charm.

i guess can get back the keyboard animation in this file.

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.
These files are for miui 7-29
These are not my work all i have done is set them up so you can flash them with our phones. If you wondering what these are they are ANIMATIONS they change how you transition between screen and various other transitions. If any of these don't work for you please let me know so i can fix it. Also i will update with every new miui build.
For those that may need it and have never flashed a file but if you have flashed miui then you should know how to install theses but you never know here are some instructions.
Updated with no carrier label no more Verizon wireless in status bar
Install instructions:
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot in to recovery 4.0
- Find your file and flash it
- Reboot and enjoy
I don't want to make theses for other roms for the sheer fact that when people start going on nightlys for other roms its to crazy to keep up so here are some instructions for you. These instructions below work for any room weather it be TW OMFGB OR CM7.
Install institutions for your rom 1:
- Download file and place on desktop
- Extract anim from the zip file to your desktop (File Location system/framework-res.apk/anim)
- Extract your framework-res.apk from your rom to your desktop (File Location system/framework-res.apk)
- Place the anim file in your framework-res.apk same spot your extracted from before
-Place framework-res.apk on the root of your sd card
- Open adb and type
su
adb shell
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Install institutions for your rom 2:
- Extract anim from the zip file to your desktop (File Location system/framework-res.apk/anim)
- Extract your framework-res.apk from your rom to your desktop (File Location system/framework-res.apk)
- Place the anim file in your framework-res.apk same spot your extracted from before
- Place the framework-res.apk in the .zip file and DELETE MY framework-res.apk AND PLACE YOURS IN PLACE OF IT
- Flash in recovery and enjoy

Theses are if you go back on your page
activity_open_enter.xml
activity_open_exit.xml
Dialog box is the box that comes up if you were for example adding a widget to the home screen
dialog_enter.xml
dialog_exit.xml
Theses will control how the keyboard comes into the screen
input_method_fancy_enter.xml
input_method_fancy_exit.xml
This is the anim when you unlock your screen
lock_screen_exit.xml
The options panel is the panel if your on any screen and you click on your settings button for example if your on the home screen and you click on your settings button you will see a options panel that askes if you want to add a widget change wall paper etc...
options_panel_enter.xml
options_panel_exit.xml

Hello to everyone! I'm new in this forum. I've got a samsung galaxy 5 with cyanogenmod 7.2 and i notice that the fade effect when unlocking the screen (NOT THE TV EFFECT) is disabled in cm 7.2,while it was in cyanogemod 7.1. I posted the same post in madteam forum (search "fade effect on cm 7.2 lockscreen on MadTeam forum because i can't post outside links) but no one know how to do. Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance
Anyone knows how to fix it? Please!
Same problem on the G2/Vision.
Also, before the screen time's out, normallye the brightness smoothes a bit down. This is also gone in CM7.2.
Must be something in the framework-res package i think.
On the other side, we now got the fabulous looking ICS rotate animations!
