[MOD][TW KK][Guide][How To]Animated PullDown Background AND/OR Pulldown BAR
- Thread starter the_original_teknikl
- Start date
Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here following everything but it won't recompile telling me it can't find the animated pulldown images. I went and edited your pulldown.xml in the guide to fix this. by adding pulldown_anim before each of the numbers. Attached is the file. Thank you this is working well. Also grayscaled all your images to fit in with my theme. Thank you for this sweet mod man, Now to do the pulldown bar also.

Hmmm... I thought I had the xml packed that matched the image names..... Thanks for the heads up man... I'll get that fixed.
EDIT: got it fixed and reuploaded to that post... thanks again @talkingmonkeys

No problem man don't mean to go off topic but after I test it to make sure theres no problems I will be releasing a guide to add OG Battery Mod :good:
@the_original_teknikl I can't get the pulldown bar to work right. Not sure of how to fix that one but its still my standard gray one. Am I missing something to have it point it in the right direction maybe?
Open drawable/tw_close_handle_bg.xml and look for these 3 lines
Code:
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_press" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_press" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_normal" />Replace the above with this
Code:
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_off" />

Hmm I didn't have to do all that... I included the xmls... Just drag and drop in the folders and edit the on and off xmls to customize the animation.
If ur using dazednconfuseds pulldown mod for the single bar... He made changes so it might be different... I can make a posting of that too when I look at it.... Not actually using that mod tho.....
Are the steps above what you did on the single bar pulldown mod?

Think so because that's what it took to get it working

Alright... I'll add that to the op for the single bar pulldown mod to add animation... When I get a chance.
Thanks for the info.....

I've actually been looking into this myself, because I want to implement the ability to be able to switch between static pulldowns and animated pulldowns for MOAR
What I was thinking is the following (for making ANY number of pulldown images work, including a static one)
In xml, remove the reference to @ drawabe/pulldown (we'll define it via smali)
Add an init.d script that reads SystemUI.apk, checks to see how many pulldown_XX pngs there are and dynamically generates a pulldown.xml file that references each of those files. It then places this pulldown.xml file somewhere in the system (/data, /sdcard whatever)
In the smali, SystemUI, instead of loading a drawable named pulldown from it's resources, loads the pulldown.xml file we created with the script (using the createFromPath method from the Drawable api) and voila, pulldown that animates if there are multiple images, or is static when there is only 1 image.
I've had a similar one but I was thinking of just adding a toggle in settings to have it look for either the animated ones file or the static one. Just not exactly sure how to write whats needed for this.
Wish I had the knowledge at this time to do that... But I'm still learning smali and init.d scripts so it's above my level of knowledge.... Can't wait to see what you guys can do with this tho

If you ever get this working.... Would you consider sharing it?

hey @CNexus, i know dwitherell has a toggle for this working in his rom (Tweaked 3.0) in the Note 3 threads. I was going to try get with him for the knowledge. I would love to implement this as well in my rom, and the toggle would be perfect.
I believe that it requires an image (perhaps a .9.png for the static bg) and a few pulldown.xml's, the status_bar_expanded may have to change from a FrameLayout to a RelativeLayout, still looking into this

Keep me updated aswell. Looking to add this to my rom too.
I think just about everyone is lol... I know a few people who don't even like the animations... But want a way to switch back and forth to show others what they can do with their phone because of people like us..
Seems to be very popular....
And once we have a toggle.... I'm sure there will be many new animations if we can get around the decompile and recompile steps....

Thank you for this great mod, I was looking for it since it stopped at my s2.
The animated Pulldown is working well on omega rom 35 \ s4 but the bar isn't. I get no errors in compile and don't know what is wrong.

have you tried changeing drawable/tw_close_handle_bg.xml to point to the new xmls as in the second quote in post #4?
if you have, try looking thru the xmls in res/drawable and res/layout and look for anything pointing to
tw_close_handle_bg_normal
or
tw_close_handle_bg_press
and change them to match this
note: just change the "tw_close_handle_bg_press" and "tw_close_handle_bg_normal" in those lines
Code:
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_off" />your systemui may pull them from another xml

Ok, after seeing a few posts a few days ago talking about people having animated status bar pulldown backgrounds, I decided to do some research because I had never heard of this before.
I noticed that for some reason the mod stopped with ICS.
So I decided to create a thread on how to add this feature to your ROM, or the ROM you are currently running.
The edits are very simple, actually, pretty much exact to the GB version of the mod.... however, they can be a little time consuming based on just how many images you would like to add to your animation.
I would like to send a thank you to....
@bilgerryan
@tdunham
@dazednconfused
@CNexus
and
@erikalin ...
Without your answers to a few questions I've had or tuts on how to do something... I wouldn't have this mod... Or a few others that I've put out....
So thank you guys for your help.13Dev instructions
Dev instructions on how to add this mod to your touchwiz kitkat 4.4.2 based rom is located below:
Please remember to hit thanks if you like or use this mod.
9Dev/Themer Instructions
THEMER INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN ANIMATIONS AND EDITING THE ABOVE FILES TO WORK WITH YOUR NEW ANIMATIONS.
Please remember to hit thanks if you like or use this mod.
This guide is assuming you have either performed the DEV MOD in the post above or you are on a rom that has.... AND..... you already have the custom images you would like to use for your animation. If you do not, I recommend reading the guide created by @erikalin on how to create your own images
As stated above, the process is the same.
You could also search GOOGLE or XDA FORUMS for how to create frame by frame png animations... WARNING!!! It can be time consuming.
Ok, so if you want to use a different animation than what i have inside the mod, you will have to edit the xml inside of Systemui.apk.
