Something just came to mind, theres an app called "ApkToolX" by Andro Black and definitely not available from Google PS. Its a powerful root tool used for reveise engineering of apks, .jars, or even other elements of as OS. The links below provides a brief description

ApkToolX is an android app that basically dose the same thing. aking it work is not as simple as downloading, installing, granting root and good to go.
My Note 4 n910p on MM is rooted with Chainfire (SuperSu). The chipset is a Snapdragon and an armV7
The process to make ApkToolX work as intended if a bit risky and certainly not for the novice. On my Samsung in the app setting list "apktool version" sub setting I choose 2.1.1, return to the main settings and in subsettings "aapt version 6.0". After that I check the box root and when prompted by SuperSu I grant ApkTool root permissions. Then reboot and back to ApkToolX and in /system/ framework / I scroll down to framwork-res.apk and tap it. From the list below I choose "inport as framework".
Scroll down a bit further and tap twframwork-res.apk and "inport as framework". Like I said "its not your normsl rooted app". Proper installation involves risk and just feels intimidating.
Ok, back to your original question

It wasn't untill later, and I wasn't even
consciously thinking about it. It just popped in my head. "I bet the transitions are somewhere in the Framwork.jar". So out of curiosity, I copied it and pasted it to my external sd, used ApkToolX to decompile the .jar
In smali/android/app BINGO!!!
Also in Smali_classes2/android/transitions
Double BINGO!!!
Famwork smali is where my skills tend to drop
