[MOD]custom transition animation

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

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...

It worked with my Desire HD.
and I applied this method to add animation + battery icon as well.
Work like a charm.

take a look this post: http://www.galaxyroot.com/mod-how-to-get-back-the-inputkeyboard-animation/
anyone who know where can i find "\res\values\styles.xml" ?
i guess can get back the keyboard animation in this file.

[Q] How does the skin changer work?

I have been thinking about this for some time now ... How does the htc sense skin changer work? From my experience with android ... A change to framework-res.apk needs a reboot to take full effect ... Like the metamorph app ... It works similarly ... It takes the files from ur sdcard and patches the framework ...
This is where im confused ... To make changes like this ... U need to be rooted and also need to reboot ... And even if it worked the same way wouldnt nand lock just restore it? How is it this skin changer works? If it does work this way ... How the heck does it stay the same ... Or is it like framework-res.apk is an empty shell that has links to the external files?
Could some1 with root please give their framework-res.apk before and after changing the skin? Like from htc to slate or wood ... I want to see what is really happening here ...
Ps if this belongs in the general please could the mod move there? Im extremly sorry if it does ... It is related to root and nand lock so i thought id post here ...

hmm, when u got temp root check for the rights that are set on the file, on this way you probably get you answer
what i think is that specific files are excluded, so they are editable
btw isnt the skinchanger for the launcher only? than its mostlikely just an xml thats been loaded...

it changes the notification bar too

It's a good question, one I am surprised I didn't wonder... I will pull a part the apk to see if I find anything
It doesn't replace the framework-res, because the battery mod sticks when changing theme, so I presume it overlays it in some way

Please test this app.

Teoretical this reboot ONLY all android processes and Android Interface but NOT physically phone.
Maybe modified files on partition / and partition /system (eg flamework) will not disappear ...

Ok guys i ripped up the frameworks before and after changing skins ... And they were the exact same thing ... It seems that the skin changer overlays the existing looks with the theme ... So no changes to the frameworks ... It just overlaps the.framework images with external ones ...
Wow
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

But where is it mirrored? Could sum1 with some app experice please check the code out? There are two possibilties here ... Either it is mirror from somewhere in the system partition ... So it can bypass nandlock ... Or it is mirrored from the sdcard ... So we can make our own themes even for s-on devices

Here skins for Sense 2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
And here for Sense 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
The Desire HD until it wasn't S-OFF: First temp root then paste modified "framework-res.apk ' to /system/framework, then hot-reboot (eg this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.grrmode.quickreboot&feature=search_result), and this worked, maybe it's same with Incredible S?

No i mean like ... The app dosent even touch the feameworks ... It works from files from somewhere else ... Is that /system or the sdcard? Like if u download an extra skin from the HTC Hub... Where is it stored?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Skins taken from HTC HUB, are simply installing APK to "/data/app".
Flamework-res.apk is in /system/framework to be applied need to reboot the phone. In DHD, when there was no S-OFF helped hot-reboot, it restart android interface but modified files stayed.
APK files modify with eg Winrar

So its in /data/app ... Damn ... Hoping it was on the sdcard ... Too bad
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Skins HTC Sense: these are the files APK that install like any other program in the (/data/app.) It does not require permanent root, and do not delete at reboot
But you can move through the application manager to the memory card ...

HTC Facebook Chat Widget

Hey guys,
Little present for you, the HTC Facebook Chat widget and corresponding .odex file in this little .7z file attached.
I wasn't sure if I should deodex it or not, to decided not to, to be safe.
I wonder if anyone can get this to work on the DHD?

The .odex file goes in the same folder as the widget, ie. apps
I can deodex if you want, but will do it later on, I'm totally shattered currently.
I was thinking someone would implement it into a ROM. Not sure how well all this works.
Forgive me, not had much sleep!

This looks genius, can't wait to see this get picked up by devs. Legen.........
wait for it
....
DARY

can anyone post screens for this?

can you DE-odex this? I have tried and failed...but thats cos i suck

deodexed versions here, you need to go thru the code and then change the resoltion, this is mdpi -> hdpi from salsa rom LOL i thought dimondback would have figured by now
here : http://www.multiupload.com/LUZVUSJMM8

How can i try this? the zip have framework apk and other... i can install only chat apks or i would overwrite all these apks?

any advances on this...or anyone know anything i can do to help?

any one working on this ?

I haven't tried editing sense themes since.. FOREVER ago, since things like the htc hero / sapphire / dream "were in"
What I did back then was open up the rom file you download, and in it you'll see a bunch of stuff and go into system\app\ and modify to your liking!
I just took a quick look at a sense rom and it appears that "rosie.apk" is still there. IF things haven't changed as much.. that Should be your main launcher.
So what youcould do is open that via winrar and extract images and stuff out.. then edit it!
Other things like the status bar, should be in framework-res.apk (which should be in framework instead of /apps/)
I've only modded my themes using roms from aosp or vanilla so I don't nkow sense too well.. However this should give you a basic understanding! and the more you wanna edit, the more .apk files you wanna open! good luck

On a similar note, I am trying to modify android with customised sounds (lock/unlock/key press etc) and having some issues.
I have directly tried to place the .ogg files into the following path within android itself using droid explorer but that didnt seem to work.
The path i have been placing it is within the following:
...\system\media\audio\ui
Has anyone managed to successfully do this either with a working rom or pre flashing, in which case could give me some pointers on how to do this?
Thanks

am using go desktop...

[Q] Change to AOSP

Hi,
I'm using the Musketeer Total Senseless ROM and i really like it.
But when I'm changing the volume, there's still the stock HTC Sense "indicator". How can I change this to the AOSP theme? Is it possible?
Thank you

Yes, it is possible, this can be changed from either system/framework/framework-res.apk or system/app/SystemUI.apk.
(you can open them with any archive manager to explore)
You can do the themeing by comparing a file that already has the thing you need with the one that is already present in your rom, takes some time to get used to this, but it is possible and can be done.
Hope this helps, and search for themeing tutorials over XDA

Thank you
It doesn't sound easy but I'm trying it

Is someone managed to theme volume controls to aosp, i really liked if someone has
