Default [MOD][NEEDS WORK] Screen Rotation Animation

PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO COMPLETELY FREEZE YOUR PHONE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU USE THESE FILES AND YOU MISS YOUR NEXT MEETING.

I was playing around and after reading and searching through some threads, finally got somewhere with something I've wanted since my iPhone days - Screen rotation animations.

Attached are 2 files you can unzip, then copy and paste into /system/lib/ using root explorer.

This will make your screen animate when it auto rotates.

BEWARE. I have had limited success with Home Launchers that can rotate. The phone completely locks up and you have to restore from a backup.. if anyone can help figure this out i'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for a few brave testers to let me know if it works with the ROM of their choice. I have not tested it on stock yet, it may work perfectly. Who knows.

Sent from a 4.2 Galaxy Nexus, or Maybe an N7100 Note II, could be a Nexus 7, not usually from a Nightly Nook.

That's what this is...these files are taken directly from the at&t note, and on my phone running nexusMod 4, the screen rotates just like the note does.
