[MOD] Disable Carousel Animation for Sense 3.0

ozkaya · Mar 2, 2012

Hi everyone,

This one took a bit too long to pull it off, but here it is.. As the title suggests it disables the Sense carousel animation (the quick rotation of all home screens) when you flick your finger quickly. Please don't confuse with disabling unlock carousel animation. It is for Sense 3.0 (Evo 3D of course) and S-OFF root users, I'm using it fine with latest Leedroid ROM. Flash the zip file and it should be all right. You should make a nandroid backup just in case. And please, hit the thanks button after

What are the odds this works with 3.5?

Formhault · Mar 2, 2012

I hate this in Sense 3.0. It's neat, okay, but every time I wanna switch very fast between home screens, I end up having to wait 3-5 seconds until I get where I want... -.-

Is it 100% compatible with LeeDrOiD? I see the .zip contains the Rosie.apk, which is what LeeDrOiD Tweaks tinker with... but perhaps I'm wrong.

I'll try it later today, gotta charge & NANdroid first

Sense 3.5 has a new Rosie app, I believe, so... The odds are quite small

already possible to disable it for long time.

On HTC Evo 3D stock rom with sense 3.0 android 2.3.4, it boots up, but doesn't get past the rogers splash screen.. any tips?

It acts like its already booted because it goes to sleep and turns off the screen, and when I click the sleep button, it awakes but stays at the rogers splash while the capacitive lights light up

EDIT: If this helps at all I installed it via CWM 4.0.1.4 with revolutionary root and s-off

That one you're talking about should be unlock animation, this is different

Now it actually boots, but it won't let me go to the home screen, only to applications that I've set on the lockscreen.

EDIT: Yea please be aware anyone wanting to flash this on stock sense 3.0, 2.3.4 android, it won't work.

Thanks for the heads up, I've updated the OP that I tried with Leedroid ROM, it is possible that more than one version is necessary for different builds. Can you try deleting Rosie.odex from /system/app and restart?

Yup I'll try that right now!

EDIT: How am I able to get access to the system directory? I looked through the directory after mounting the phone to my computer but then realised I'm just browsing my SD Card. I can't use an in phone file explorer because I can't access the market/home screen.
Thanks!

You need to connect to your phone through your PC with adb then.However, it might just be easier to restore your backup and delete with Root Explorer. Here is the adb route if you feel like trying:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /system
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm Rosie.odex
exit

can anyone with Stock ROM (rooted,S-Off,Sense 3.0) try this v2 beta and give me feedback?

grischkon · Mar 3, 2012

again the same problem for me. it stops booting at the HTC bootanimantion and after a while it starts sleeping. if i press the sleep/wake button it just shows the htc boot-logo.

ozkaya · Mar 3, 2012

OK, from the feedback I receive it seems to be compatible with couple of Custom ROMs and not stock ROM. There are lots of build and Sense combinations so it is impossible to make a universal patch. I would have to make 5-6 different versions and honestly, from the attention and complaints it gathered, I think it's not worth it. People look happy with the animation I guess

Anyway, if your on Leedroid or other compatible build you can flash and use it, but I don't plan to take this further to other phones or builds.

Tones1971 · Mar 4, 2012

Yeah working fine on my leedroid. Very useful. I hated that carousel effect.

LeeDroid · Mar 4, 2012

If you want to use this mod on my builds you will need to patch my rosie as it will break tweaks

Sent from my LeeDrOiD loaded s-off HTC EVO 3D

Could be added to tweaks easily enough

Nice work

Yeah it would be great to have this included in the next Leedroid tweaks version. I've been looking for ages for something like this! Great work O.P!

+1 would be great if was a tweak you could toggle off.

it does turn off the annoying carousel animation occurring when you're trying to change your homescreens quickly. sorry no video, honestly I don't know how to show/prove a disabled feature,say I might still be swiping below the threshold so no carousel animation occurs, guess you gotta see it yourself
