Animación de ViewPager fade in / out en lugar de slide

Obtuve el ejemplo FragmentBasics de aquí. ¿Hay alguna manera de hacer que la animación de ViewPager simplemente se desvanezca cuando deslizo el dedo en lugar de deslizarse hacia la izquierda y la derecha? He estado probando algunas cosas con PageTransformer, pero sin éxito, todavía puedo verlo deslizarse. Así que supongo que necesito de alguna manera forzar su posición para que se quede, mientras deslizo mi dedo solo afecta al alfa.

public class SecondActivity extends Activity {

SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

ViewPager mViewPager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

    // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
    // primary sections of the activity.
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());

    // Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mViewPager.setPageTransformer(false, new FadePageTransformer());
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.second, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    }

        // Show 3 total pages.
        return 3;
