2.3.4 - Screen Animation/Transition is Horrendous - Atrix 4G General

normal android devices, and the atrix on 2.2, use some standard nice screen transitions. to enter an app, zoom in. entering each subsequent screen the page swoops from the right. and backing out the screen swoops back to the left.
now on 2.3.4, EVERY single transitino is a zoom in/out, and i have never seen such an ugly horrendous idea before. anyone know if there is a way to bring the device back to the stock method? maybe in custom ROM with frameworks edit or something?
just can't comprehend how someone thought "hey, this looks great, let's change it to this way". am i crazy?

Yeh it sucks, but you'll get used to it...

Yes.
But to fix your "problem" go to settings, display, then animation. Pick no animation to get rid of any transition. I don't think there is a way to get back to froyo transitions.
And now that I think about it, I don't remember it ever swooping left or right. I had a zoom in to enter an app and a hard cut home when leaving an app.

Oh it swooped left and right, I just confirmed this on 2.2. Its the standard android way. We read left to right. Right is forward, left is backwards, its a very valuable ui element to all android phones flow.
Of course for now I disabled animations, but that looks bad too. I just can't believe it, I truly am blown away by this.

I don't c anything wrong with them

We just need HUGE thread about how everyone hates little things in the new GB update. stickied at that matter. cause its so important to post about how you dont like the animations in GB.
XDA ATRIX forums were plagued with "when is GB coming" now its plagued with "this looks ugly" "i dont like this in GB". I'm sure it wasn't easy for moto to make this at all. if you guys like the old boring crap on froyo them go back to froyo.
Theme it, change it, learn to Dev, etc.

I get it, but I am saying that I've not hated something so much and been this annoyed at something in the last 10 years. I literally hate it with a passion and ruins the experience totally for me. Its that bad for me.
Edit: and yes I do have dev experience and will see how if possible to add it back so but this isn't a simple theme solution as the transitions are likely part of the moto frameworks or similar. I'll definitely look and try to learn more. I committed a couple hundred lines of code to the cyanogen repository last year and it got merged in to final, but I'm not so great in the grand scheme of these awesome devs.

yeah, all smartass aside jokes. im sure we will get someone to make animations. usually takes a while.
need stable ROM, then themes, then hacks/mods, then little things like animations. usually how it goes. we dont have a completely stable (custom) ROM. that i know of that is. like MIUI, CM7.

It was a little exaggerated obviously. But I do hate it immensely. It would be a good project to change it back.
I'm surprised this thread got even any opposition. Surely the other android phones you guys used had this. There isn't a single android yet like this till the atrix on 2.3.4. First of its kind.

I don't like the stupid animations in gingerbread,too but going to get used to with hate or love.

CognAtrix has standard animations....

Well for reference, gingerbread on all devices uses the standard method. Zoom in/out for the entry and exit point of the app to home screen, with all screen changes inside the app swoops left and right for forwards and backwards. Only moto changed to all zooms on gb, and they had it right on froyo.
All zooms actually messes you up a bit if you're doing some fast navigating around the device.

Cyanogen Mod overrated?

Yeah I know this is just a test release http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czdEvymanBs
But if you really think about it, Chris is using ADW Launcher. You could get that from the market. I honestly don't think CM is a big deal anymore. The only feature I want is the trackball wake.

If you think CM only adds a viable launcher you're crazy and haven't really dug into it.
Everytime I switch back to Google's offering of their OS I'm flabbergasted at how paltry and lean it is.
Did you even bother to read the changelog? UI changes are just a small part of what CM has to offer. There are plenty things "under the hood" that makes the phone way better than the ones running stock Froyo.

The android OS is so minimalist to begin with. Short of changing a few pngs here and there There's really very little reason to do so. The majority of the time on a smart phone is spent inside applications.
The benefits of CM are really all under hood stuff, and tweaks.

Cyanogenmod for Vibrant? How close are we?

I've been following the progress of the Cyanogenmod development for the Vibrant lately and it seems to be moving pretty quickly, i.e. there already booting into the main UI, I believe. Anyway, I'm still wondering if anyone out there has even a rough estimate of when it will be available for the Vibrant? Thanks in advance.

Some time in the near, or distant future. One of Cyanogens pet peeves are people asking when it will be there whenever they are able to get it done. All of the dev's have loved ones, jobs etc. We can give estimates all day long ranging from early September to late October/November. Sadly the only ones that do know would be Wes.

I obviously care, and I would like it soon, but I'm not going to hound Wes or any other devs about it, and I don't think posting a question in a thread counts. I'm not a dev and I can't code, so the best I can do is beta/alpha test, and if no one helps me that's perfectly fine.

What draws you to the UI? cause ADW has the sides scrolling option that TW does but you can use themes and such.
Ive seen the adw drawer. It is very similar and I like the convience of the scrolling bottom on the home screen. But im not too sure of stability. I heavily modded my g1. And from time to time I would get force closes. Im trying to minimize the mods on this phone. The adw drawer is not bad. But right now its not something I want on the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The TW drawer is nice, on my phone ADW doesn't load right. When I first go to the tray it gets stuck in a loop where it keeps wanting to load the tray it just can't. After about 5 tries it usually loads. The stock icon's look better than the adw galaxy s theme, and even when I say use stock icons it doesn't use the phones stock icons.
aawww, I missed a flame war.

dissapointed with fascinate

I am honestly dissapointed with my Fascinate, I bought it because I thought it was going to be very costumizable, with the open loader and all that, the reality is that most devs are not even putting attention to this phone, only a handfull are, I have had it since the first day that came out, and development for this phone is going really really slow, and full of issues.
Relax bro, all good things will come. I was able to mod my phone a lot because these devs are putting all they can into our phone's development.
We already have lag fixes, OC kernels, debloating tutorials, backlight mods, standard unlocking screens, etcetc. Not to mention plenty of themes, apps, and other cool things.
Just relax and take a breather. We got froyo on the way and developers are waiting for that so they can really unleash the beast.

Having come from an N1, which is inarguably the most dev friendly Android phone to date, I have to whole heartedly disagree with the OP. It is a little aggravating dealing with Voodoo now and then, and the processes are a little different, but all in all this phone is fantastic.
I have a custom bare-bone type rom built, fully themed and customized to my hearts content. Four installed launchers that each have a completely different style and feel which I can switch at will. OC Voodoo lag and color fix kernel running on interactive thanks to Jt, and plenty of mix and match mods and hacks to keep me flashing back and forth so frequently no one can actually call me.
We do only have a handful of devs working on the fascinate currently. They happen to also be pretty damn awesome, and give us plenty to work and play with.
I have to re-ask the question, what the hell are you actually looking to do that you can't?

How come everyone who has a bad experience, or is disapointed with there device gets called a troll? Isnt this the purpose of the Forums....to speak your opinion, learn a few things and see if anyone feels the same way?
I remember when everyone ...well people still do make fun of apple fan boyz because thats all they love is apple....but i have the feeling android fanz are becoming the same thing....close minded and haterz!!!
The purpose of android was openess and freedom....so wake up people the trolls are not those who complain about a priduct they paid good $$$$ money fir but are disapointed... the trolls are the haterz and people who beleive that there the best and there way is the only way!!!
Generally because you can sum up their complaints to a) why aren't devs giving me what I want now b) I have had my phone a month, understand very little but need to complain, or c) this phone sucks, I had my g1 for a year and we had tons of mods, dev r teh lazy.
So yeah, trolls.
If they were here to learn... The complaints wouldn't be their posting topics, they would be off learning. They are here to feed off others works and complain.

I agree with you about the general section & out of the box comment. Its just that there are many other threads with the same topic. But he has the right to post this question, and I was merely asking what was wrong with the phone according to him. Out of the box, the phone is still very capable and it honestly doesnt need to be modded. But the mods are very nice.
Also what phone is perfect stock? There's always cons, and that's why we're on the forums looking for answers.

Hrmmmm seems fairly active to me. To be honest there is only so much the dev's can do regarding custom roms and other items as the locked bootloader is a huge issue. Considering the Droid X and all of those who have been out longer have yet to be cracked it may take a long time before we have great custom roms.
Go grab a Samsung phone if you are in a hurry. They are easier to flash right now.
On a hopeful tip.. US got the Atrix a little earlier that some countries. It just launched last week in several countries and I would imagine will be made available in even more soon. So there are lots of potential xda users/devs that still dont have their Atrixs yet.
It's active in the sense of tiny updates and deodexing, but i mean even ginerblur, grayblur haven't had a substancial update and to be honest, they kinda lock my phone when it comes to apps cuz it won't let me reinstall the blur apps that i did like.
I don't really see any REAL major updates that people are rolling out. I mean Gladiatrix is pretty good compared to the other roms. I've messed with the webtop customization since i bought the lapdock (feel like it was a waste of money), but i'm still getting that feel like this phone isn't worth the money.
What i REALLY hate about this phone:
4g is bull****, nvidia locked the cores so really we're only getting 1 core usage and i don't see any difference when in webtop mode, it feels sluggish and it feels like it's going to die any second for pushing it so hard. The camera is a failure...i really don't get why people sweat on the MP size when its really about the lens but the atrix lens is soo terrible when working with flash that you need the gallery pic editor to fix every time.
I came from the Nexus One, and i sometimes go back to it just because of how simple, clean, and smooth it is. I know that all phones get problems from time to time but i feel like this phone has soo much potential and none of us are REALLY getting more than 40% out of it. It's really sad to see a phone like this that's going to be put aside by the end of this year.

For me 4g is not a problem as I am getting the best att can do in my area anyway, I care little about the camera but I do agree people are way to fixated on pixel count far more then it effects the quality of the picture.
But I do not know about this locking of one of the core processors? I have not heard that, can you point me to some information on that, I will search some on my wn but I am at work, hard to search the web here.
Yet another trolling thread! Sincerely, why don't you switch your phone if it's that bad?

Just a thought

With ICS taking off (thanks to renowned members like roman, neobuddy, brick'd, and many more) ALOT of roms have been, and are going to continue to be, released.
I realize that we have complained for while about the development section being so quiet (understandably so), but we are on the verge of seeing quite the opposite.
This is great news!! but with this type of evolution comes many roms, kangs, ports, concepts, etc. its also going to bring out the noobs, flash-o-holics, and lesser experienced members. we are going to start seeing maaaany ics threads in development section, but people are going to ask: well, how is X different from Y???
my friendly suggestion to devs, kangers, porters is this: when posting a release thread, it would be doing a service to the forum, and yourself, to cite exactly what sets your release apart. whether its something major like source, or something minor like a theme - it will save users a lot of confusion, and it will save you the headache of your thread being cluttered with unhelpful questions and waste posts.
i just remember during the Froyo days, the dev section was loaded with virtually identical roms, with people releasing a "new build" that simply had framework edits, build.prop tweaks, and/or different apps. this is fine, i thought about releasing a themed/tweaked build myself at one point in time - but you have to explain it that way, otherwise it sucks for people flashing it hoping to get an all-around new rom experience.
so true...what about some Blue Myst for Ics? Still one of the best theme for Froyo...
My theming ambition has dropped drastically, as people have probably noticed. i think it has something to do with the fact that, quite frankly, im bored with the Vibrant.
I think it also has something to do with the fact that im STILL running Froyo. I was running CM7 stable for a while but i ran into this fatal bug that i could not figure out, and could not find a fix for, so i had to revert.
I only theme something that i know im going to be using for a while, and then i share my stuff with the forum. some might call it selfish, but my time is limited I was on the VERGE of making a theme for CM7 before i ran into that wall.
As far as ICS goes, its far too buggy for me right now, but there is SO much potential. every day there are steps made. im so OCD with my phone that it has to be close to perfect for me to consider using something as my everyday rom. ive ran most of the ICS roms out there, and i would definitely consider a theming project once they are stable.

+1 on every part of this statement as I am the exact same way. I am hyper sensitive to my phone too. Maybe that is not such a bad thing though. Has definately led me to solve some of the issues out there too.
Was wanting to start theming Deranged9 and the it basically fell off the map while still waiting for the final to drop.
I may get flamed for this but I can't stand the ICS Blue. Not sure what I would want but the blue is not my favorite by any means. Even Generic McPlain grey would be better than the blue. But that is just me.

im a big blue fan, but ICS is TOO blue...im more of a fan of the cyan-ish blue.
yah every ics rom out has its deal-breaking bug for me. the biggest one is the /datadata issue (low storage space). i run a lot of apps, and even if i could live without some, i like knowing that the space is there if i need it. i know zenwich doesnt use /datadata, but that leads to some really yucky lag.
like i said, very good progress is being made, but its not up to my PERSONAL standards yet. but i try as best i can to keep my standards to myself, becase they are unfairly high for our device at this point, and these devs work their asses off.
I agree too. Very good point. I too came to a stop with messing with my Vibrant. I look at ICS and I know if I flash that on my phone I'm going to end up editing the framework-res to exactly how I have it now. For me it makes no sense to mess with my phone the way it is. I'm just waiting to the price to drop on the SGSII so my wife and I could upgrade and then I'll start messing with those.
....and YES I am a BLUE lover....and YES I did hit the THX button .

im proud to be the OP of the biggest flame thread in vibrant forum history...
Sorry I derailed your thread (actually it was mikka06 's fault) with my non-sensical mumblings that I don't like ICS's Blue.
I love blue. I usually pick out all the blue M&M's and Fruit Loops and eat them first. And even on St. Patrick's day, I don't dye my beer green, its blue or nothing. I just don't like the ICS Blue.

you didnt derail! we are conversing.
Woodrube, i think you are the ideal member on this forum. you help out, dont expect anything, not in anyones face, and youre willing to learn things for yourself.
i would find it tough to criticize you, even if you did derail my thread, which you didnt
I appreciate this very much. I remember when I first registered with XDA and had no idea what I was doing. Couple of people took me in and showed me a few things and it was all basically trial and error.
Fast forward to when I came to the Vibrant forums and it was much different than it is now. Too many attitudes and too many senses of entitlement. As much as it sucked, I understood why CM left. Now most of those problematics have gone on to the SGSII or beyond and we have a new crop of people here.
Like it much better now.
