Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

does this work with cssu? also can you upload a video of the transitions please?

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Unfortunately I didn't test the transitions with the CSSU but it should work fine. I can't post a video right now.

You can test it without any possible danger of damage, just back-up the original file before overwrite. If something goes wrong just revert to the original file and there should be no problems.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

It works after copy it to /etc/hildon/theme.
PurpleXS8, nice work. I remember that zoom on press caused unexpected reboots on my n900 long time ago but time will tell. Where did you get this icons?

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

i did it with filebox and now its messed everything up. i knew i shouldnt of tested this.

cant get access to root in filebox anymore, its even messed that up.

can anyone give me commands to fix this with terminal?

i renamed my original transitions.ini to transitions.ini(original) and its in the hildon-desktop folder.

please help :(

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/hildon-desktop
cp transitions.ini\(original\) transitions.ini

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Please calm down. How is the device acting right now?

You shouldn't have renamed the file this way, that folder, you should've saved that file locally on the device in MyDocs or on your computer.

Using terminal you should now delete that file using the command:

Now reboot your device.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

are you sure thats not a typo? the transitions.ini\(original\) bit? and what exactly will this do, i need to delete transitions.ini and rename my oringinal back.

just making sure.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Thank you. I extensively tested this initialization file before posting it. I was using it without any problems.

The icons were from an theme downloaded over the repo. I don't remember what theme was that and I can't find out because the device used to test is now in a very bad shape (ony the screen and the motherboard is left out of it).

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

This part of code is going to work as well. It will simply overwrite the original file via renaming. Only one file will be left, and that's how it should work. If you get errors, please try my recommended command list.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

wont that remove my original transition.ini i renamed to transitions.ini(original) though?

i need to delete transition.ini and rename transitions.in(original) to transitions.ini

sorry if im being dumb.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Yes, that's exactly what that command does.

Here is what you should try.

At this point your folder contains only the custom transitions file and with the kill command you can check if it works.

Now, if it's not working try this

The "MV" command in linux can move a file from a folder to another, but also renames the file in the same folder my overwriting.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

right, the transitions have gone back to normal but im still left with all the problems.

constant flashing notification ! that doesnt go even if i select ignore.

high cpu usage of hildon-thumbnail

photos not loading in gallery

thumbnails of contacts have gone

filebox is still missing icons within the app

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

I don't think that can be caused by this file. This file is not related to those. You maybe affected some other important files while installing this mod.

Please, can you post some screenshot for further assistance?

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

see filebox has no icons. also my photos arent refreshing. theyre just black.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Awww damn... The "(" in your file name is causing the command line to give an syntax error. Sorry.

Type the filename as this

This is a big problem I mostly encounter in PHP too, but I was too stupid not to observe it.

@elros34 was right.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

right now how do i get my thumbnails back? in my gallery my photos are all black and not loading even if i wait. theyre even broken in bookmarks, and hildon-thumbnail is going mental in the background. how do i restart it?

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

I am going to do some reasearch on it, and I am going to try to fix this problem for you. I don't have an answer by now.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

Okay, here, I did some research on this and this is my solution for your problem.

Start off by deleting all the thumbnails generated until now (maybe data corruption). You can find those files in this folder: /home/user/.thumbnails/fail/hildon-thumbnail/

After doing this please run the following command to regenerate all media information: tracker-processes -r

After doing that, please visit the folder: /home/user/.thumbnails/cropped/ and delete all the contents there.

Run the tracker-processes -r again and reboot.

This is the first solution. If this fails you:

Open X Terminal:

1. Type "cd .thumbnails/fail/" (without quotation)
2. Type "rm -rf hildon-thumbnail" (without quotation)
3. Reboot your n900

Run the tracker-processes -r again and reboot.

Please update me on your status after trying this.

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

Any chance of a deb file?

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

thanks but the corruption went way deeper than that. i was getting errors all over the place. had to flash in the end.

Re: N900 New transition pack.
 

I am really sorry I couldn't came up with that solution earlier. Maybe we could've have prevented this disaster.

• Please, next time, follow the exact steps provided and tested by OP.
• If you are unsure about the effects of the software/mod wait for other users to report
• Before installing ask several questions, if those questions can't be answered it means that it was not tested, yet it's not sure to install on your device.

I want to say I am sorry again.

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

Also, again:

Hey guys, here's a message from Theodor; he says that as long as he is banned and isn't available, you guys can't access any of the resources there.

Though, he will find a solution to externalize the projects and make a website for them, but he is currently experiencing some odd problems with the server and the projects will be up again soon.

He is not okay with the fact that his projects are inaccessible since he's not a member in the forum, however, I repeat, he will solve it.

The address where he will post his projects WILL be:
http://www.purplexs.athousand-suns.us/

Thank you.

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

I started browsing through TheoX' posts to try and understand why he got banned. Probably for abusing the report function and for violating copyright with his Beats thing (ported from WP8? Yeah right)...

Either way, modifying transitions.ini is a trivial thing and people have been doing that for ages.
If you want to modify your own transitions.ini in a nice GUI, I advice you people to use "transitioncontrol" (which is probably what TheoX used to modify his transitions.ini).
You can speed up the animation of the transitions (which is great. Mine are set to take half as long as the default transitions) and you can do things like get a 2-wide task switcher with bigger application thumbnails.

Edit:
"CPU and RAM improvement"
Lol.

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

ffha,

He got banned for his abusive posts (both trolling and personal attacks) and creating multiple accounts even after being informed not to do so while being temporarily banned. He was warned multiple times that a perm ban could happen to him if he didn't stop but he wanted to game the system.

Re his "contributions", most of it was just simple things garnished to look like he had done a huge contribution... I would advice people against using his stuff blindly and to check it all out before applying it..

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

@ffha
where to find "transitioncontrol" or how to open it
I installed it and it isn't on menu list neither on settings

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

It appears as a seperate application in your application menu as "Transition Control". It's not integrated into the Settings menu.
You can also open it using the terminal (just open xterm and type "transitioncontrol").

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

I really like your theme. Can you tell me the name of that theme, what fonts you are using and how did you get your calendar widget to be like that...? Thanks... ;)

Re: [Announce]N900 New transition pack.
 

Anyone have those transitions rar file ? Link is dead and badly need a transition with blurred backgrounds when in application menu and in multi tasking view.

edit: Never mind found them.
