So, I noticed that the Nexus S has a sweet screen-off animation where it looks like an old-school TV.. Is there any way to get that on the fascinate?
If there is, is it put in a file in the system files like Framework or services.jar?
Does anyone know if there is anything like that?
It's just something really simple, but it would make this phone just that much more amazing.
I posted this over at Android Central, and no help came along. I figured i should go straight for the source of all of the magic.

Sighhhhhhh
Yeah, I was informed on Android Central of the same thing... too bad..
Sure would be nice, though. Lol.
Isn't that what ComRom 1.3 uses?
its unique the gingerbread framework...
however a dev did get it working on froyo recently for the sony x8...on aosp...and pushed the code to github
sbrissen had said he take a look at it briefly if/when he had time...but if it was going to be difficult/time consuming that would be it
someone has been living under a rock......

Does anyone know of an android launcher which is like the new Nokia N9?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LphiRFvd40I&feature=related
It just seems like a nice fast way to get around the things you do most often and would be interesting to try it.
Thanks in advance..

Please! Make it so.
Willing to pay for a launcher that would look and behave like the N9 launcher.
it's so awesome
I would too be willing to pay for an android launcher working the same way as Nokia N9.
It would be great!
i have a couple comments on that.
firstly, being a galaxy S user, and having played with the Nokia N9, i can say that my phone, older than the N9, is far smoother and more responsive. Secondly, Meego is a bastardization of Android. The similarities are many, but very few characteristics of Meego measure up to the brilliance of Android.
secondly, the failings of Meego aside, the multitasking in the clip is certainly interesting. However I'm not sure i like the dependence on the side swipe, and the dedication of homescreens to open apps and drawer without folder functionality. It *looks* pretty good, but function-wise, i'm pretty certain that Android would piss me off less.
I like N9 idea too.Android ICS card and swipe would be a nice match.
have you looked at wave launcher which gives you webos up gesture?
That's definitely possible in Android.not sure developers want to develop.
This could be a money maker . . . I'd buy it
An enthusiastic +1 to this idea. I would love to see a project like this realized and I think that this N9-styled idea could be a solid money maker for the right developer. SPB made a killing with their mobile shells, right?
Also, think of all the poor souls stuck with no applications over at Nokia--this could give them enough familiarity and confidence to break their limiting patterns. It's really a mission of mercy.
If anyone has an idea of actions that we could take to move this idea along, or if anyone knows of any progress being made along these lines, please let me know or let us know on the forum.
Infinite flexibility shows that ICS can be whatever devs make of it.
--Me
So as you know with the new motoblur ui there are these nifty (And in my opinion sexy ;3) turn animations. but what i want to know is, if i switch to a rom lets say cm7 or the soon to come miui, would there be any possible way to get these animations back or get any animation when i turn the screen at all? i hate the simple "Turn the screen the screen turns" its blocky and 8 bit to me. and please dont chop my head off if this was already asked :3 I looked through the forums and couldnt find anything like this.
-thanks in advance

If it's any help, I've flashed all sorts of gingerbread ROMs (currently running Nottach's Darkside vI.4 with his Evoluer theme) and it has remained present.
I'm with you, I like it as well. I don't think you have to worry about it disappearing.
Granted, don't quote me when it comes to CM7.
I'm not sure but if you use certain launchers, you could get those animations back. I haven't seen the motoblur ones but i saw a youtube review of some launcher which had a screen orientation animation which looked like the iOS one, just as smooth but about 1 second longer.
Alas the ONLY down side to rocking cm7 imo. That rotation animation is so sexy and was the only thing I felt android was missing. Someone would have to figure out how to take the animation from blur and make it compatible with cm7. Which I am fairly certain is much easier said than done. That being said maybe with the new version of android coming out soon, perhaps google will add it into ice cream sandwich. And if that happens then I expect we will see it in future cyanogen roms.

If a webos port was made for your Galaxy SII, would you at try it out? Whats everyone's thoughts?
I don't know about others but I, for me will be excited and undoubtedly I'll want this on my GSII, it will be a pleasure.
Thanks for the link anyway.
Sure
Would be cool to try WebOS at SGS II =)
I think it doesn't have much chance against Android.

I see it not so much as a competition, but more as something that would compliment my phone. Primarily android, with webos on the side.
But I agree that it would be cool to try it nonetheless.
I would probably flash it out of curiosity but ultimately ill no doubt always stick with Android unless they do the unthinkable and become "closed" like IOS but i cant see that ever happening.
of course I want it in my phone. Also, could the devs port the code to android to make it faster/better/whatever?

Didn't HTC or Samsung (can't remember who) get full licensing permissions on WebOS? lol well that's useful now.
If it was me, yes I definitely would! Like with the HD2, I tried WM 6.5, WP7 and Android, but ultimately had to go back to Android.
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
What we have here is HP finding a cheap way to support it's WebOS devices.
I'd sure as hell try it out. The UI is fantastic and would probably fly on the SGS2. Probably would have to steal some drivers from Android but since they're both linux-based it shouldn't be too difficult.
Although I'm guessing most of the devs are involved with ics at the moment...

Hey Skellyyy, just out of curiosity, what made you stick with Android over WP7? I have not had any WP7 device yet, but it looks attracting.
I would LOVE this...i got a Pre on day one and loved WebOS...i would have stayed, but lack of solid hardware and an extremely small dev crew to get things going. if we could even get a WebOS launcher on top of android, that would be amazing!
i truly hope they get this going on our SGSII's.....i'd pay good cash for this!!
EDit - Any dev who decides to take this on, consider my SGSII a test device for you....
WebOS all the way!
For those who haven't tried it, here are some hints:
-butter smooth (when fresh)
-TRUE and exceptional multitasking
-great UI
The thing with HP is that they bought Palm for a hefty sum but never had any idea how to make it better. For now, they only got two WebOS devices that can not be called ancient: Pre3 and Veer- both fabulous phones ( Veer is quire popular among ladies, even @ Google HQ ). This is the bottle neck for their market. If they will get it running on other devices it will surely change the game more than WP7 did.
HP will nail it if they choose to go open source and get some devs involved, though this OS is maybe the best so far, it's still full of bugs and flaws, looks like a beta release.
... Another one. Is open sourcing now the dumping ground for dead projects?
came back from a party some minutes ago and read that webos is now open sorce on pocketnow.
it would really be great to be able to dualboot webos and android on the s2. hope somebody will do this and bring us this great os.

Hi, I don't really know tbh, android just felt like my home that I couldn't leave. Although I really want a WP7 device to give it another try. I feel like it could be good for me, everything I basically need and it just works. Without any distractions. Social integration is a major plus now too, I never really went on social networks when I tried it out, might get another cheap HD2 and have fun with it.

Moving to Q&A
I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Yeah I'm really looking for more than just a launcher though. I'm already aware of the creation of MIUI launcher and that's sweet but it doesn't encompass settings themes and notification draw down etc. I'm not super picky about that but I'd prefer everything to be uniform...so not gonna go with that method.
LewaOS is something i I'd call pretty similar to MIUI. Lilchris has a post of it in ported section.

Duddeeeeeeeeee. Just went back through it and found AdyScorpius' version of MIUI. I'd gone through that before but I guess I missed this version. If it's anything like Galnet I'm gonna be soooooo happy. I'm gonna flash it now!! So excited hahah. I'm a speed freak, need my lag free interface, otherwise I get annoyed >.>
Thanks bro! Hope this rom isn't bug ridden. Seems very illegitimately put together, but all the people commend it! We'll see.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.
If you want speed, battery, and best overall flawlessness I suggest: shostock!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563747
It's the best. Just needs an android app so I know when it updates.

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement
