[MOD][Xposed] Smooth System Progress Bars - Xposed Framework Modules

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hello!
Circular feature is now working
I've managed to update MohammadAG's module.
Tested it on devices running Android 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 by myself. Received reports it works also on ICS (thank you @Prasad98) on Marshmallow (thank you @frankie1220) and even on Oreo!
And so, this module should work on any device running from ICS to Oreo. Yes, the module is working on Oreo (resource replacement, on Xposed Installer, needs to be active or it won't work on devices running Lollipop or later ROMs).
Please make sure to have your system animations speed set to 1x (system settings, not the module settings...).

This mod is open source!
You may NOT distribute this app on the Play Store, paid or free.

How does this module work?
This modules hooks into android progressbar class, then it looks for the drawable used for it's indeterminate state.
From ICS to KK, if the drawable type is AnimationDrawable, it means that the indeterminate progressbar is horizontal, therefore it get's the default drawable replaced by an user customized instance of Castorflex's smoothprogressdrawable. On the other hand, if the drawable type is AnimatedRotateDrawable (the Gingerbread ones...) or LayerDrawable (ICS+), it means the indeterminate progressbar is circular, therefore it get's the default drawable replaced by an user customized instance of Castorflex's circularprogressdrawable.
On Lollipop, both progressbars (horizontal and circular) use AnimatedVectorDrawable type. And so, since I could not distinguish which progressbar I could replace the drawable, I've made a workaround using Xposed resource replacement feature. And so, on Lollipop, all drawables used for progressbar bars are replaced by the ones used on ICS+. By doing this, the module is now able to distinguish which progressbar is called by the system and it then overrides the drawable using the same criteria I've mentioned above.
Having this said, and since all is being hooked into the default android AOSP code, if a device has a lot of modifications introduced by it's manufacturer, it may cause this module to not work flawlessly.
All devices I've came across are very close to AOSP ROMs, and so, in order to get this 100% on all manufacturers it would imply a lot of testing and debugging for each manufacturer.

Me -> Up until 2 months ago (more or less) I've never seen Java nor Xposed "insides". Nevertheless, if there's one thing I've learn on XDA is that we all can contribute if we are willing to learn. And that's exactly what I've done. I've learned everything by myself simply by following tutorials and the source codes everyone, mentioned before, was kind enough to distribute. So, yeah, I think I deserve some credits as well...that, and a beer.
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU'RE COMING FROM VERSION 1.3.*:
You won't be able to update mohammadag previous module version, nor install over it since the signature is different.
And so, if you're currently using mohammadag's version (Versions 1.3.* and bellow still available for download on Xposed Framework download feature) you must:
1 - Disable the current module version on Xposed Framework.
2 - Uninstall previous version
3 - Reboot
4 - Install new version
5 - Activate and reboot
Older version and original post (by MohammadAG):
This module replaces the default ProgressBar indeterminate animation with a much smoother one.
No videos or screenshots, try and you'll see the difference.
Compatibility:
Tested on 4.2.2, may probably work everywhere else.
Source:
The mod is open source: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-SmoothProgressBar
You may NOT distribute this app on the Play Store, paid or free.

So from your screen shot...would you say it makes the blue progress bar...segmented?
Also, what is the app that places all the technical info about your device? (eg cpu freq, temp)

Yes. It's like the progress bar you see when you swipe down to refresh gmail.
And the app you are talking about is Cool Tool. You can get it for free in Play Store.

I tested with ICS, reboot incl. Seemed to make no difference.
I am not sure what Gmail refresh looks like.
Thanks for the cool tool info. :good:

Well I am on JB 4.2.1 and it works flawlessly. And I really love cool tool. It takes some time to set up according to your liking but once you do it's awesome. Plenty of options.

A screenshot won't do, this basically uses a higher FPS progress bar.
Here's a gif demonstrating it.
There's also a video, but due to recording framerate it's not visible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt4lvQmY0F0
Basically, install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.castorflex.android.smoothprogressbar.sample&hl=en
The first is the old style, the third is what this mod does.
They're identical if you have the mod activated.

@MohammadAG
Can't we have different styles to choose from? That would have been awesome.
Hit Thanks If You Like My Post!!!

I agree

I'd like to report a bug. When there is a progress bar in a notification, the scrolling speed increases every time I close and reopen the notification shade, to the point where it's just going insanely fast. (I think it took 27 pulls to get the speed to loop back entirely.)
I'm not sure if this happens for all apps that use the progress bar in a notification, but it's currently happening for me with Easebackup on stock KitKat 4.4.1 on a Nexus 4.
