[UPDATED][UI Animations] New Android UI Animations

Below are four new android UI animations created by Stale Bread, these will change how things popup and show on screen.
There are two ways to apply new animations first is Metamorph and second is to manualy copy new animations to your android phone.
This should work on ANY 2.1 and 2.2 (apparently it works on 2.3 ) android phone!
NOTE If Metamorph fails, you get force closes or boot loops, try to manually add animations!!
- Metamorph (thanks cXhristian from samdroid).
Before morph do a nandroid backup so you can revert if you don't like them, or if anything goes wrong!!!!

Download all animations!
Stock Lockscreen animations, flash this if the text "Unlock" has disappeared from your lockscreen (Stock android only, with Sense and other shouldn't be a problem)
How to use animations with Metamorph:
First install Metamorph from Android Market.
Download the animation you wish to have, and place it on the root of SD card.
Start Metamorph and press "Start Checks".
After checks press "Unzip/Extract new theme" then locate the animations zip on SD card.
Metamorph will automatically extract them, when finished extracting a window will popup, press close.
Now just press "Apply all!" and wait for reboot.
Done!
- Manually copy animations
Before doing this do a nandroid backup so you can revert if you don't like them, or if anything goes wrong!!!!
Connect your phone to your PC (USB debuging must be on!)
Download required ADB shell files (users who know how to operate with adb don't need this), and extract them to root of your C disk.
First you need your framework-res.apk, open cmd and copy below code:
Code:
cd c:\Android
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\Android
This will copy framework-res.apk to C:\Android
Downlad the animation you want from above Metamorph part of the post.
Open the file with compression/decompression program (Winrar, Winzip), and
extract the framework-res where you want.
Open the (pulled from phone) framework-res.apk with Winrar/Winzip and navigate to res/anim (you need to see all sorts of .xml files and leave the window open)
Now open the framework-res (from Metamorph zip)and go to res/anim, select all files within anim folder, drag and drop them to previously left open Winrar/Winzip window, now there are new animations in framework-res.apk, you can close Winrar/Winzip window.
Phone needs to be connected to PC. Enter the below code to cmd to push framework-res.apk back to phone:
Code:
cd c:\Android
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Code:
adb reboot
Hope it works =)

Can someone add the "Fly" animation to the Community Hero Mix theme for me? I tried, but i don't know how to sign the .zip to be able to flash it. I'm on CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS.

As always do a nandroid before flash.

And if you would like, I could make updates with these animations for other roms too.

I think these animations (not the above updates) can be used on any android 2.1 and 2.2 phone. I'm just not sure about WVGA, VGA, QVGA resolution.
EDIT: it works on every android phone

Looks like I didnt get the correct theme, for your rom.
This will work!

So I'm kind of confused which one I should use so I'm curious which one will work with a rooted Mytouch 3g 1.2 flashed with CM 6.0.0? Is it the Community Hero Mix 4.0? If so they wouldn't flash because my recovery claimed the zips were bad.

how about you send me your framework-res.apk (server is currently down), and then it will 100% work, because I have used nightly 09182010-001910.zip for my animations

Very nice work. I may add this with Community Hero Mix by default with permission and credits to the developer of course. Haven't decide which one though.

[HOWTO] Gingerbread Theme + Ext Pwr Menu + % Battery + Custom Anims on JPU (any rom)

Adding Ext Power as well as % Battery Mod is very easy thanks to Jim Panses super Arbeit
Many thanks also to Dena and whiskeybro for their Theme as well as vukandric for the Gingerbread theme.
This is how I did it on Darky's Rom, but it should theoretically work for any Rom based on JPU.
Possibly the Rom needs to be deodexed what most custom roms are anyway.
You will possibly lose animations but there is an easy way to get them back!
Read end of post for this!
Ok let's get started with the simple (but limited) method.
Step 1:
Download the theme from Dena, the Gingerbread Theme as well as the framework-res.apk attached to this post. Put them on your SD card.
Step 2:
Install Dena's Theme with extended Power Menu
Step 3:
Install Gingerbread Theme
Step 4:
With Root Explorer copy the framework-res.apk file out of this thread to /system/framework
Your system will most likely crash after that and reboot with the new framework-res.apk active. Then change the permissions to 644 meaning all boxes in the first column selected as well as the topmost row of the second column selected. All else unselected.
Done!
This should work for any rom, but I can't confirm it yet.
For anyone interested in making their own themes compatible with ext pwr + % battery here is the more complicated way to do this and the way I actually did it:
Step 1:
You will need Dena's Theme again as a base as well as a another theme that already has the % battery but lacks the power menu. (It work too if you don't have % battery yet, but then only for the ext Power Menu)
Step 2:
Extract the framework-res.apk of each theme.
Step 3:
copy everything from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi of the theme you want to use into the same (sometimes also called "...\drawable-hdpi-v4") folder within the framework-res.apk of Dena's Theme.
Do not extract the framework-res-apk files. Use 7-zip to open them and do the copying!
Step 4:
Do the steps from the "simple" guide but instead of gingerbread theme you use your theme of choice and the framework-res.apk you use is the one you created.
Animations:
Many Themes use custom animations now.
The most common is the fly-in animation.
These animations might be lost with this method.
To get them back simply download the "Animations.zip" from this thread. Extract and move to /sdcard/AndroidThemes and then install with Metamorph (app can be found on market)
Here is another way provided by kenkiller
kenkiller said:
extract the anim folder inside darkky's framework-res.apk with 7zip, and then overwrite the same folder and contents with the framework-res.apk you intend to copy to ur phone. But in the case of animations, it's needed to clear dalvik cache in CWM.

Very useful, someone should try this on Darkyy's 5.2

Were you able to retain all of Darkyy's animations after doing this?

No it doesn't. Not all rom can use it. Each rom framework-res.apk is different.

differently themed maybe, but it should still work as they are all based on the same framework-res.apk (that of JPU)
Animations are gone, but I have a good idea how to fix this

Animations are what puts Darkyy's ROM apart. Apart from his very good themed colors & graphics.

Thank you for the credits!

The fly in animations are exactly the ones used in darkyy's rom,or at least similar enough that I didn't notice a difference yet.

If you used my files as the base for this, its only a little part of the fly in animation, because i dont liked the whole package!

What Dena theme do you mean? That link is to the captivate forums?

After installing the Gingerbread Theme all transitions are lost. I used the ones from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774738

Thx for the info

Giving it a 5-star. Helpful.

it's pretty easy to regain the animations if u prefer the original.
Just extract the anim folder inside darkky's framework-res.apk with 7zip, and then overwrite the same folder and contents with the framework-res.apk you intend to copy to ur phone. But in the case of animations, it's needed to clear dalvik cache in CWM.

This actually does work on most custom roms, as long as they are deodexed.. Great work though..
Is it also possible to only add ext menu and keep glass window lock screen? I like the instant sms reader

Automatic Splash Image Creator (PNG to Flashable Zip in One Click!)

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Please take all questions/discussion to the d2_vzw thread HERE because it is the only one I'll monitor!
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!
Credits:
invisiblek for the recovery zip scripting
Yagya Gaire @ http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com for the original conversion tools
Download Here: http://d-h.st/F2A
As always, even though this tool has been tested, nobody is responsible to damage to your phone except yourself!

More of an Theme thing.
Thread moved
Nice work OP!
FNM

wow! should be handy dandy when I'm done with working with my phone! Thanks OP!

Works awesome thank you, been waiting for this since having my Desire Z. changed splash screens on that one on a daily basis lol.
Side note, anyone want to resize .png's quickly online here you go works good.

Im stuck here. I created a png image with Paint.net and I used the program to make a flashable file. Then I flashed over JB and nothing changed the old Samsung splash was still there.? Any ideas what might be wrong.
(edit: I figured it out., sorry for the post.)

[BOOT ANIMATION] [ROOT] [SHARE] Marvel DC Boot animation.

Hi all,
I was looking for some cool bootanimations for my redmi and came across this a few weeks back.
I dont remember where i found it but it looked damn cool, when I decompressed it i saw it was in 1080p so I just downsized it to hd(720*1280).
Again, this is not my work, I just downsized and shared it. Credits go to respective developers. (Could not find the real Dev :crying

Two points you forgot to mention.
- Change the permissions to -rw-r--r--
- if you have a theme installed, you need to select system boot animation before it will come into effect or else the theme boot animation will keep playing.
Amazing animation though!
Cheers!

Owl Boot animation 720x1280 (not qmg)

Yesterday I made a boot animation for my GF and I'm happy with the result so I decided to share. She likes owls so I made it an owl.
This is my first boot animation so nothing too fancy here but I like it and most importantly she likes it too. I will most likely make some other animations too and I post them here.
Preview
(It does not loop that way. When the owl jumps off the phone starts).
Instructions:
-For stock roms this should enable the use of bootanimation.zips: Thread
-Copy the bootanimationOWL.zip to root/system/media.
-Change the name of the original bootanimation to for example "bootanimation.zip.bak"
-Change the name of the new animation to "bootanimation.zip"
-Give the file permissions:
r -w -x
r -x - x
r -x - x (rw-r-r)
-Reboot!
Feel free to send your homemade or any boot animations that suit our j5. If anyone is interested of how to make one or have any questions I will gladly share my knowledge and try to answer. Also if anyone wants to make modifications to the animation I can send the adobe illustrator file and or adobe animate file that I created making this.
In case you run into trouble with boot animations then just rename the original .zip to "bootanimation.zip" and remove the one that causes issues.
Happy owling!
