[REQ] screen rotate animation - HTC EVO 3D

I've seen this in the Photon and maybe a tablet or two (Asus I think). It seems to add a touch of class. Even the Palm Pre had a animated rotation when it changed between portrait and landscape.
Can this be added to a theme or even just adding to system files somehow?

Have your ever used a iOS device? If so think if the transition effect. Hard to explain it. I will tell you it looks much smoother and refined instead of the screen just switching to the proper direction

No, sorry. I've never used an iOS device.

I know what you mean and there used to be an option in earlier versions of Android for a rotate animation. It wasn't very nice visually and was very slow but this was when my G1 was new.

I was thinking the same thing. I could have swore having a rotate animation on my G1 also.

Yes there is open your stock web browser and type about:debug in the address bar. Then go to settings and it will be located in all the way near the bottom called smooth rotate. Don't touch any of the other settings though.

Take a look at this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ria1jwoOY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just before halfway through you can see it rotate as it changes orientation. Just a smooth transition whereas the htc phones are kind of an instant switch.
Thanks tuscani, so the stock browser is the only place? I'll check this out. It'd be cool if it happened everywhere like moto (can't believe I'm saying moto is cool in any way)

That did nothing for me. about:debug didn't bring up anything.
//edit// Nevermind. I'm stupid. I figured it out. But yes, that's what we are looking for, just throughout the OS.

Yeah the about:debug thing is just what I'm talking about. Can something like this be added throughout the os?

---

Im far from a noob and this about:debug thing brings nothing up for me

After you type it in the address bar, hit menu, more, and then settings. It will be added as an option towards the bottom of the settings page. I tried a few times and it was there. It's definitely cool, too

Finally got it... In address bar type "about:debug" (with no space and no quotes). Press enter then menu then more. You might have to try a few times.

As far as OS level goes I'd say its not out of the question. I mean now that we have roms coming out faster than we can flash em I'd say its a matter of time.

Bump.
Maybe this is impossible? Anyone even know where this type of animation is defined?

In my express port to the EVO it had this animation ;-) I'm working on porting it to the 3d

Bless you! Do you think it can be flashable or will it be part of a theme? Even a how-to would be cool.
God-speed in your mission.
