Transition Animation MetaMorphs(Bouncing, Flipping, Flying, Stock)
PLEASE READ:
Here are a few MetaMorphs I made to change only the transition animations of your current ROM/theme. They are still very much BETA releases. I've tested them all on Bionix-v 1.3.1, but I need testers on other ROMs. It's very likely they will work on most ROMs, however, it's also possible there may be issues with conflicting compression levels. For that reason, I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup beforehand. Please report what ROM you're using, which MetaMorph you applied, and whether or not it was successful.
NOTE: These may also work on other devices, but please, if you're going to test it, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! Or at least know how to restore your current framework.)
Disclaimer:
I do my best to thoroughly test and make sure my themes and updates as universal as possible. That being said, not every flash is perfect. Issues with my themes/updates in the past have been rare, and easily recoverable, but that may not always be the case. Just as with any other updates you apply to your device, you're taking a small risk; That risk can grow when negative factors are added, e.g. human error/misjudgment, bad downloads, bad flashes, etc. I make these updates in my spare time, and offer them to anyone interested, however I am not responsible for damaged software, hardware, or any lives that brutally fall apart after flashing my updates. Please make sure you fully understand what you're doing, and the steps to reverse it if necessary, before applying these updates. XDA is a valuable source of information, simple searching/reading threads will often help you find a solution.
Instructions:
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP if you don't know how to restore your framework if anything goes wrong.
If you don't already have it, install the MetaMorph app by Stericson from the Market.
Download one of the attached .zip's, and place it somewhere you'll remember on your sdcard.
Make sure USB storage is unmounted, and for best results, activate Flight Mode.
Run the MetaMorph app, Start Checks, and Unzip/Extract the .zip you previously placed on your sdcard.
Close the description and apply.
If you didn't encounter a forced reboot, it will prompt you to reboot, do so. Otherwise try again if it was unsuccessful, and reboot when it's done.
Deactivate Flight Mode and enjoy!
Awesome... First to comment too...
Will try this out. Thanks dude

Flying works fine. Nice thread thanx
Edit flipping works great too,
Eight hours later no problems

I tried the flip, didn't work for me. Currently on stock deodexed kb1, but that shouldn't matter right?
edit....took on the second try. Looks great, nice job on these!
Tried these on trigger v2.7 with no problems all day. Thanks for these
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated. Still would like to hear if they're working on other ROMs besides stock deodexed, Trigger, and Bionix-v; but that's an awesome start! Hopefully there won't be any compression issues, but from what I've read so far, I might not have to worry about it.
Confirmed working on trigger 2.7 themed w/honeycomb theme.

Running Bionix 1.3.1 with TW theme. Tried the morph with all 3 (no stock) with no luck. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
any chance of a video, so we can see what these are like?
Yeah ditto that. I'd like to try on Bionix 1.3 but seems like there may be issues.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

I tested them on 1.3.1 with no issues. Granted I did not try the flying animations, I assumed they were the animations from the old Nero betas and wanted to try something else.
We'll I'm gonna flash a new rom. Either trigger with overstock or Hat's BC I'm getting horrendous battery life with this rom. So, I will try this on the new one and report back. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for putting this together for us man!
Quick question: I'm running bionix 1.3.1 with the Honeycomb theme that's here on XDA, if I flash the "stock" animation will that get rid of the one that's on the theme? Will it even work since it's a theme that I'm using? Thanks!

I've found that sometimes MetaMorph can take a few tries when modifying framework-res.apk, which is exactly what these do. If your animations didn't change (not even some of them), that means MetaMorph didn't actually change anything. If it was incompatible for whatever reason, you'd probably have forced reboots. My best advice is to keep trying, make sure MetaMorph has superuser permissions, and maybe try wiping your dalvik-cache. If none of that helps, maybe try uninstalling MetaMorph, and installing the latest version from the Market.

That's a good idea. I might have access to a video camera later tomorrow, but if anyone else could beat me to it I'd really appreciate it. Credz and your video in the OP!!! In the meantime though, I included stock animations so you can easily test them out and switch back if you don't like them. My personal favorite is flipping.

Yes, it should work on all themes, and stock would get rid of the animations you don't like.
working on the latest bionix. thank you!
Works on bionix v 1.3.1 but i did get stuck at bootloop at first. Then had to pull battery. Works fine after but phone seems sluggish now??? Any idea what could be up with that. And what is this stupid metamorph thing i had to use to put this on? Why cant i do it through clockwork mod?
Btw im using the flipping animations.

Now that some cool things for the Fascinate are starting to show up, I kinda pieced some things together from different sources to come up with my perfect rom (for today anyways ).
I have been running jt1134’s Super Clean D101 rom for awhile now. I found that I like some of the Samsung stock apps that were removed from his rom a little bit better. I found that I really liked the stock clock, music player, and messaging (with the swipeable features). So I added those back in.
Also added was the Blue Minimalism v1.3 Theme for a little blue, and the black notification bar with the see-thru drop down menu from the “Blackmod”. It also has the stock, non-puzzle, unlock screen with blue.
The kernel is stock with no oc.
Just trying to share what I like at the moment. I take no credit other than mixing up some ingredients on work others have done. The credit really goes to:
Jt1134. For that awesome clean rom tons of us have been using lately!
Raiderrep. For porting over the blue minimalism v1.3 theme (thanks to the original developer)
Stanrc. For the black notification bar and clear notification drop down menu.
DroidX007. For pulling the stock Samsung apps out for use and for being brave to test the blue minimalism theme out.
This is a clockwork recovery file. Unzip and put file inside into your SD card/clockworkmod/backup file and restore from menu. If someone knows how to switch it over to an update file, or show me how to do it, that would be great.

Very very nice. I don't think I'll be flashing it though. I like the puzzle unlock screen and some of the bloatware that gets removed in this. I also like the neon blue loading screens, but I want to make them darker. I didn't think I wanted anything TW on my phone when I first got it but a few aspects of it have grown on me.
EDIT: We live in the same city :O I think I will flash this. I love blue. But what all gets removed, and what happens if I have certain things frozen with Titanum? Will they just be left alone?
Well man from the Burg, make sure you do a back up first of what you got before you flash any rom. That way, if you ever need to get back those programs, you are safe.
I dont use Titanium but I would assume the files will still remain in you backup folder. When they are frozen, the arent deleted. So as long as you keep that backup file untouched, you should be able to restore those through Titanium as well.
As for everything that is removed, the base rom is Jt's and you can see it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796171
All the essentials are there. Jt just removed a lot of the stuff that really was bogging down the system. He also removed some of the Samsung TW style apps and replaced them with stock android apps. I put those back in as listed in the OP.
Do a backup, flash it then you if you like it you can start adding anything deleted back into it with Titanium.
Also, in Jt's op linked above, you can get the puzzle screen lock back.

Alright. I hate the bloatware but I'm keeping it frozen so the Froyo update will be easy. I'm flashing now.
EDIT: Finally got it to run. Will this remove my lag fix?
EDIT 2: Why is everything wiped? I was not expecting that...
After restoring, backing up my contacts, and re-flashing, my contacts restored but my apps decided not to. But the phone just feels...faster. Do I need to restore, backup, and flash again?
Looks nice but I am not smart enough to make this work.

Use Titanium to reinstall all your apps. When you flash roms, you get real good at reinstalling your apps and settings. Hint, if you use LauncherPro or ADW, there is a backup function that will back up your screens exactly like you had it!
You should be much faster. JT really streamlined this rom. I love what he did!

Awesome, thanks!!!! How has battery life been for you? I have tried the deodexed version and it seemed to go down for me...so I reverted back to odexed. But, want to stay up to date.
Battery life on my Fascinate has never been the greatest but I didn't notice a difference when a switched to a deodexed Rom.
I've read the horror stories but not with my phone. Plenty of happy people on this forum who havent had a problem with the new deodexed roms either.

I would love % on battery...otherwise it's awesome!!!!! Thanks.
I have not tried this rom, but I assume its deodexed because steeeler is using Jt's deodexed super clean rom. with add mods and tweaks like Raidereps Blue Minimalism theme and other sources as well that he listed at the OP. It looks like it should be a pretty straight forward rom its just not a zip file so it will be installed differently thru CWR.
Cheers

Is there anyway to put the visual voicemail back in to prevent the dialer from crashing. If you touch the voicemail button the dialer will crash. That was my issue with JT's rom. I can't seem to get voicemail back in....
Otherwise this is a great rom. Thank you....

Good catch, first time I heard of that problem. I always just use the quick dial 1 to go to voicemail.
I wonder if it has something to do with the deodexing. This is a different dialer than on Jt's.

Slightly Better Gingerbread for Bionix-v (1.2.1)For a more authentic Gingerbread experience (or not) in Bionix-v. Plus addons!

To be honest, you can hardly call these themes. There were just a few small things about the Nero/Bionix-v series that bugged me, so I fixed them and decided to share them with you! All I did was modify the Bionix-v framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to do the following, nothing else has been changed.

XDA is a valuable source of information, simple searching/reading threads will often help you find a solution.
Apply SBG:
Unless you'd like to test compatibility with another ROM, please make sure you're running Bionix-v 1.2.1.
If you've applied any other themes or Metamorphs to your ROM in the past: Download Theme Restore, and flash with ClockworkMod Recovery. (Be patient, it will take several minutes to reboot.) Otherwise you may skip this step.
Chose your preferred version of SBG below. Download and flash with ClockworkMod Recovery. (Be patient, it will take several minutes to reboot.)
Just as with all my updates, it is unnecessary to disable Voodoo before flashing.

Added back TWiz text selection and toast frames.
SBG 2.4
Ported yet again to Nero v5.
Added some new GB style icons to TWiz Quick Settings.

Adds Jocelyn's accurate battery mod.
Adds my five bar signal strength mod, themed to look exactly like GB.
Themed TWiz Quick Settings in status bar to look more like GB.

This is just to make it look a little more authentically Gingerbread, and clean it up a bit. Nothing flashy for now, but I might mike something a little more exciting based off this. I'm open for suggestions! Anyone else is more than welcome to use this as a base for their themes as well. Make sure you don't flash any themes made from older versions of Nero though, as you'll lose a lot of optimizations added in this version. Alternatively, if you already have, this will bring you back to v3.

I don't see why not. I haven't looked at the TWiz version, but if there was any TWiz theming it will be replaced by GB. It shouldn't break anything, but if it does just report it; I'll help you get back to normal and make a TWiz version that will work. I wouldn't worry though, you should be fine. Please report back and let me know how it went.

I tested it briefly, worked perfectly for me. Calls seemed very clear too. And I was at my dad's place with crappy DSL when I tested it too. I pulled it from JL5 so it should be to your liking or better. It's been downloaded almost a hundred times and no one's complained yet.

Just a simple morph I threw together for myself, thought I'd toss it up in case anyone else is like me and can't stand seeing the battery % in the icon.
DO NOT FLASH THIS! This zip is for use with MetaMorph. It's available free in the Android market.
This morph just replaces the battery images with regular stock gingerbread battery icons. The charging is the same and it still has 100 images, so if you change your mind and want to morph or flash another accurate battery later, it should still be fine.
I've included a revert morph as well in case you want the numbers back. I ran this on Bionix 1.3. Not sure about other roms, use at your own risk.
Not responsible for your phone yada yada yada.
Enjoy

Added numberless morph for Touchwiz style battery.

Currently working on a version for EDT's new 2.2.1 rom Pepperkake.
OP has been updated with a number-less metamorph with touchwiz style battery icons.
Is there a way to change the top notification bar on Stock 2.1 to make it look something like Khal's or any of the others out there. The stock one is very vanilla compared to some of the others I have seen. Will update.zip work with an original sbf (or through OR) or does a custom rom have to be in place before you can modify anything like this? I know there are work arounds for some things like App2sd,...but not sure about something like this.

Will update.zip work with an original sbf (or through OR) or does a custom rom have to be in place before you can modify anything like this? I know there are work arounds for some things like App2sd,...but not sure about something like this.

I think you can just need to use something like metamorph, but I haven't tried it. The droidpirate website has a lot of different morphs that can be applied via metamorph.
I strongly recommend you get Open Recovery (or better: Androidiani Recovery) installed so that you can make and restore nandroid backups of system, data, and cache. Themeing can easily cause bootloops and nandroid backups will save a lot of headache.
I personally could not install any metamorph themes while on stock 2.1, but then again I was trying to use owq's gb theme and it would hang indefinitely. Maybe it was just the theme perhaps.

I used metamorph once on stock and got a bootloop. Wasn't sure if anything could be done with the stock. Know how to do it on Khal's rom, but alas that is why it is custom.

I used metamorph on stock 2.1 too. Not every morph worked but I could change my status bar to black or grey...
Cool. Do you still remember which ones you used? I have strolled around DroidPirate, but bootloops drive me bonkers, so I took a break from tinkering for a bit.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
A fair amount of people have looked at this, so I wanted to shed some light on what I did.
I used Metamorph/Droidpirate and played around with it. It works well but can only apply one morph at a time and it requires reboot after each. Can get tiresome. Make a nandroid before. If you get bogged down or want to start from scratch, just restore your system only part of the backup, reboot and your notification is stock.
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Check out ZipThemer. With it you can combine multiple morphs into one flashable update (assuming you have OpenRecovery installed).
This is a build ported from a vibrant setup, some tweaks that dfgas incorporated into the last few builds, some extra tweaks from here and there, and extended settings built in. It is very smooth and fast after letting it settle in for a bit.
Let me know how it is for you. You can wipe data or just cache and dalvik...I do all 3...enjoy.
Thanks to anyone that has a hand in developing for the fascinate / mesmerize...the list would be too long to write!
-as of 1.12.9...
-#911 issue fixed (thanks sbrissen, dfgas, & anyone else involved)
-modified default transparent lockscreen...live wallpapers show through lockscreen
-new 1.12.9 Fascinate link...
http://db.tt/enasc1vs
-new 1.12.9 Mesmerize link...
http://db.tt/LHY0AeKk
-as of 1.11.25...
-includes Glitch V13 kernel with working 3 button recovery (with updated screenstate scaling fix)
-new option of miui app drawer
-pick setup, then enable, wait a couple seconds for drawer to load up, then swipe down from top of screen slightly lower than status bar to pull down drawer (almost right at bottom edge of status bar)...takes a little getting used to swipe area as it is very small.
-new options of hiding signal bars and headset icons
-new option of appdrawer background color
-new "on the fly" statusbar layout switching (no need to refresh statusbar anymore)
-new options of autostarting appdrawer
-charging animation it top bar fixed
Here is a link to the v6 supercharger thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
I would suggest installing the latest supercharger script...http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=792186&d=1322022964 and the app script manager...http://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
Download both, change the supercharger scripts name from .pdf to .txt, install script manager, go into script managers options and turn on browse as root, then navigate to the directory you downloaded the supercharger script to within the app, click on it, select run as root, then run. Follow the scripts prompts, and as a suggestion, I use option 7. This makes the phone fly even faster at all times even with many apps open. I would have incorporated this into the rom, but the developer would rather you visit the thread to get it.

First impressions:
(Background: Wiped all three from "mounts and storage" menu)
Appears to be based off of MIUI Android (UK port of MIUI) as opposed to MIUI.US. Not sure what diffferences (if any) apply other than the bootani and background. Amiright?
Extended settings built-in is quite awesome.
Noticed MiuiCompass wasn't in there (but DSP Manager was...awesome again). Attached in case you don't have the apk and want to add it in the future.
MMS sent over 3G on first try.
I am not sure which market you bundled with it, but I always go in and remove marketUpdater and add back in the old vending.apk. (This isn't a criticism, just something I do that might be good to know in case I have future issues that may be caused by that mod...I know I am probably rare in liking the old market.)
So far so good. Now I just need to grow a pair and figure out how to swap kernels in the zipfile so I can throw Glitch v13RC1 in there; at which point I'll truly have my "Flash one-and-done".
Great work, Rick S. Can't wait for the full list of changes/tweaks! Thanks again.
Will this work on the Telus version?

Compass.apk should be in there, but thanks anyway. Basically if porting from a "stock" setup, roms wont differ very much at all, but another difference is that the reboot options are capitalized. I would love to have glitch v13 in there, but its not publically released yet. I do install it on mine though. All you need is the boot.img and the lib/modules folder...modules need to match boot.img that was built.

Ive honestly never looked into the differences between the two carriers. Im guessing no because there are probably some rom differences along with the kernel differences.

Looks great Rick!
Thanks for sharing and spending time doing this.
I am going to give this a try now, I am coming from 1.11.4, and I have yet to try the extended settings yet, so this will be great to check it out at the same time.

I wasn't suggesting you put V13 in there. I was just commenting on my own lack of courage to do it myself more than anything. Thanks for the tip though.
Been installing apps and such basically nonstop since install and listening to music on it. No issues. I did update to Glitch v12RC1 right off the bat as well.
So far, this seems to be about as stable as the 9-16 release which has been my fall-back. I've had the fewest issues with that one. Hopefully this one will be my new 9-16. (Will find out when I get home and see how it handles the wifi/3g handoff that seems to have been causing the most problems on the latest few roms for me)

Thank you for the reply. I know there are differences the big one is one cdma and the other is gsm. I did not see the vibrant mention the first time in the OP. if anyone knows of a compatible miui for the Telus version pm me please I would love to try it
Looks great Rick...thanks again. I had issues with the other '11' roms so far and was back on the 10.28. And also big.thanks for the easy instructions for installing super charger....I couldn't get then to stick a month ago....no problems this time ( used your suggestion....will tweak later after I settle in) only issue is google+ fc at start up. I don't use it so not a huge deal.....will uninstall and install new......phone is flying.
Edit: Re-install of Google+ did the trick. Can't believe how fast and smooth this phone is running now.
Thanks for the responses. Im going to update some MIUI mods and put links in the op soon...launcher mod and screen transitions are some.

One random reboot....and no bln. Reboot was when trying to open gmail.

Sorry about that...my gmail seems to work fine though. I used JT's 3 button recovery fix kernel because its probably the most used throughout various roms. It doesnt have bln. You can flash any kernel you like though and it will work fine as long as the kernels allows for it.

GSM and CDMA roms/kernels aren't cross compatible. The phones share a name, that's it, they're pretty different when you get down to the nuts and bolts (or silicon and copper.)

"Hmmm. I just had huge success flashing jt's 3ButtonFix.zip kernel over the 1.11.4, making big improvements in battery and GPS. But this is an upgrade, using the same kernel, even though my current ROM is working fine. Hmmm..." thinks the flash junkie as he tries to pretend he might not go ahead and flash this anyway.
Edit: Of course I flashed it, with the script. Running great. Overnight, battery stays in high 90s.
All I can say is wow!! This is by far the most responsive miui build I've ever used, running the script on setting seven as suggested running glitch v13 ml OC`d to 1440..very smooth, plus have all the reboot options again nicely done, thanks much sir!

In the past the miui builds I've run while being in my opinion nicer to use have always seemed more sluggish than Vanilla or cm7, not now..

No worries....just wanted to throw that out there. I know at the worst I will need to wipe all three. Been lazy and not wiping Data lately. Loving this big time though so the BLN is not a deal breaker in the least.
Ugghhh.. The Glitch app is FC-ing even after going back to stock ED05 and and installing this MIUI ROM from scratch. Any suggestions?

I actually ported the MIUIScotland 1.11.9 ICS framework I9000 rom to the fascinate. It seems the only difference are a couple added files within the framework and a few files elsewhere, along with the version number in the build prop. Its not even worth playing with though. There are no noticeable differences anywhere. Waist of time just in case anyone was wondering or has heard of it.
