Info for themers: Changes between framework between Focused 1.6, 1.8.6, 1.8.9/1.9.3, and 1.9.0

Filed under DroidX, rubiX

This has caused quite a bit of confusion, so I thought I’d put up a quick post about it:


1.6 Framework contained the centered text on the lock screen
1.8.6 Framework changed the text to off center, to keep more of the vanilla feel
1.8.9 Framework remained off center, and added transition animation changes.


If you prefer ANY of those, just grab the blackbar mods of mine for whichever version you prefer.. those are the ONLY changes.


Additional info:
–Transitions.. most people either love them or hate them. If you don’t like them, just grab a theme for 1.8.6.
–Transitions are messed up- If you use Launcher Pro, it messes with transitions. They’re inconsistent (sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t), and they’re either slow or broken for some screens. This is a Launcher Pro issue.. ADW works great with them
–But I love Launcher Pro, why does everyone love ADW so much instead of LPP?- Because LPP is actually a larger, heavier launcher than ADW, it ties into way more things than does ADW. the last, but probably most important reason, ADW is licensed as OPEN SOURCE, and LPP is licensed as CLOSED SOURCE software. If you don’t understand what this means, then google it. This IS a big deal…


I have the stock framework files (as services.jar) available for all 3 versions for those who would prefer one version over another:
1.9.0:

And 1.6 (Pretty sure this is the right one, let me know if it’s not and I’ll fix):
