[REQ] Animated drop down menu

[GrainOsand]

I would love to add this to a theme.
I have tried to make this work myself by following the instructions in the linked thread, but I couldnt get it to work on our phone. Maybe someone more talented than I can get it going(nitsuj17)(sbrissen). Anyway, here are the links. 1st one is a preview video of modded pull down. 2nd one is a set of instructions for adding the mod, the first 3-4 post are for gingerbread roms and then there is one for froyo roms...

YouTube Videowould want to change animation out)

I don't think my battery would appreciate this. D:

However it does look cool. If you could get something like a weather live wallpaper to show there it would be amazing.

Sorry to hear that. I think some of the animations would get pretty sweet. After we had the chance to swap out the files for our own taste or to match whatever theme you are working on.Obviously I wouldnt want the same animation from the video but customizing it the way we want peaks my intrest.......thanks for replying.

Exactly my point, technically I guess you could even use live wallpaper files and themers could create their own custom animations..

As far as battery life, according to the creator its not a battery drain and doesnt consume resources unless you engage the drop down menu....

seeing your work, I figured you wouldnt be into it, but I know you could make it happen. Being the first one to pull off a transparent dialer on our phone

Not really my thing either but i will take a look at it also. Its based off the systemui.apk for GB roms...but I think its doable.

ok, cool! 2 questions, 1. Is it laggy? 2. Is it affecting RAM?
If you want to share you could PM me a link.

That's my concern with it. I would imagine it would be pretty laggy.

Nice work! I'm running Crysis, and am myself am trying to come up with some animations that would look sweet with that. Tough one.

 

[GrainOsand]

I hope at somepoint this leads to pull down widgets... Like sports scores, weather, news or whatever...... But simple animations is a good start and I realize widgets would be a leap but who knows....


I still dont understand what I was doing wrong. Did exactly what the original modder instructed... Aaaaaaa, oh well. Ill try again when I get to my desk top. My laptop died.......
