I have tried continuum and perception so far. every time the screen goes to sleep it looks like your turning off an old tv.
is this just me? is damaging the screen in anyway(shorter life)?
This is actually featured as part of gingerbread. I know in Cyanogen Mod 7 there is a way to disable it if you don't like it. Not sure about the others though.
Yeah its just an animation. No harm to you or the screen. Press sleep button and ogle at the prettiness
lol
most people got gingerbread just to watch that!
you can go into settings>display>animations and turn off animations
or if you use spare parts if you set animations to fast it wont do the crt one but will play all the others just faster.
I think it makes the phone cooler

i actually like it, but thanks for the heads up on turnin it off
Anybody know if there's a way to turn the CRT effect off in GR-9/10?
Settings -> Display -> Animations -> select no animations

I don't know if thus is the right place to post this. So mods have at it and move if needed. Would it be possible to have an app that'll animate the screen during use of the autorotate feature? Obviously I have no clue on how to code

What are you trying to animate?
Are you thinking of something like the animation in an iPhone when you rotate?

Think "rotating an iPhone", he wants that fancy flip the entire screen effect present on Apple products. I love it so much, Steve may be mean - but Apple has perfect graphic and visual designers.
+1 it's extremely well polished. Granted it's not the instantaneous rotation that Android provides but it sure looks nice!
+1
Shouldn't this be in development?
i happened to find in the market an alternate spare parts app that has a selection for rotate animations in it, just an fyi

Do you mean an alternate version of Spare Parts or an application like Spare Parts? If it's an application like Spare Parts, mind giving us the name?
[EDIT] Oh wait I've found it. The market version of Spare Parts. I don't seem to see any difference when enabling the fancy rotation though.
I am blind as well

I actually thought there would be an animation a long time ago. Anyone remember the G1 zooming cube animation?
There was an animation back on 1.5 however within the source code it was commented out in 1.6 and then deleted all together on 2.1 . I read that it isn't possible to adapt to 2.1 because surface flinger lies on top of open gl. Could any developers get this running again? I'm sure it would be a lot quicker on the nexus one than the magic.
Yeah, that's definitely one of those many little things that make the Nexus look less polished than the iPhone (And don't get me wrong, I hate the iPhone )
+1 to this!
Perhaps something simple like a fading display. Or Have the background rotate first and have the icons and widgets rotate at a slower rate, so it looks like the foreground is trying to "catch up" to the background
I would take anything animated, i hate the fact that when i rotate my screen its just so still!
But i think its better for faster screen rotation.
this much talk and no developers chiming in.. don't think this is going anywhere..
YEAH THIS IS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS GETTING A FRIKKIN FLIP CLOCK THAT FRIKKIN FLIPS... AAHHHH THE OL' JACHERO DAYS! i SEE PHONES HALF AS POWERFUL BY HTC W/ THE CLOCK FRIKKIN FLIPPIN AWAY!
BACK ON TOPIC I TOO WOULD LOVE THIS IN ANY FASHION AS LONG AS THE DELAY (AND IT WILL SLOW THE TRANSITION DOWN) IS MINIMAL! HOWEVER I USE SENSE SO ROTATION IS A WHOLE NOTHER GAME THERE!
Hi guys,
After flashing the insert coin ROM I had this really cool effect when pushing the power button to lock my phone. The effect was like a tv powering down. However, it has just stopped working. I've re-flashed the insert coin personalisation pack but that hasn't done anything.
Any suggestions as the effect was really slick.
Thanks guys.
Thats called crt effect. I think theres an apk for that. Just try searching the threads.

Ha, I thought crt was developer jargon for some kind of animation. What a douche!
hahaha thats jokes, its been a while since ive seen someone flame himself
you deserve a "thanks" for that!
It was a pleasure. I try not to take myself too seriously!
that will help you A LOT in these forums, just make sure to search or browse a little before asing a question, its usually less of a headache that way
On some roms, going into settings-display and checking disable all window animations will also disable the crt animation.
Could be the reason yours suddenly stopped working.

I don't see why devs seem to insist on this animation - I think it looks cheap. Is there a flashable .zip or something to disable it?

Whaaaat? I think it's a unique feature I get so many "badass!!" comments when someone sees me turn my phone off lol BUT you could just turn off/partially turn off the animations in settings. It's built in to the Rom so I don't how easy removing it would be...

This is a fantastic app! I'd love to see this concept expanded into more weather and eventually a weather app.. Rain falling would be amazing! Quick note, while it runs on ICS the settings screen is tiny and not usable.

The only problem using toast message for animation is the intense battery drain..other than that, this is one of the best apps I've ever seen because it's so unique

Hi,
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app. I have noticed a bug happening from time to time on the free version - in the next update I will fix this and also add the option to switch from shake mode to continuous mode.
Plese let me know if reinstalling it fixes the bug.
Thanks for the feedback.

Actually I've spend a good amount of time on finding and applying different optimisations to lower the stress of rendering the overlayed snowflakes; from what I've noticed, on most phone models I tested the app on, the battery drain is barely noticeable. Of course, I have only tested it on a limited number of phones. Could't get my hands on the T989 to test on
Also the battery drain depends a lot on device model, number of snowflakes, if the timeout of the snow is set or it is running continuously, etc. etc.
I still got some improvements on the "menu" for the next update.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've been testing different configurations to see what works best, and this is what I've found.
I get the most optimal performance and least battery drain when set to run continuously, (shake turned off, no time out). It barely affects battery life although it still shows a high percentage in the battery stats - higher than the display, Android system, etc. but the actual battery drain doesn't seem excessive (weird..)
In any other setting, even with shake on, the system kills it after awhile (the notification icon disappears and everything) when the phone is locked/screen blacked out for more than what seems like ten minutes or so. The app then appears to "not work"but it is in fact just closed by the system.

Also, I did not adjust the size or number of snowflakes, used default settings.

How do i turn off/disable CRT animations? I'm running Tweaked 2.0 with FP1 PBJ kernel.
the usual turning off animations doesn't work for me I just tested that out sorry i couldn't help
It requires de/recompiling - there's a value that needs switching in framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml whose name I can't remember off the top of my head, though that may be enough to have Google lead you the rest of the way.
Thanks dwitherell. Btw i LOVE your rom
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Just curious why someone wouldn't want the CRT on/off? I absolutely LOVE it and for the few minutes while I'm on stock in between roms I can't stand the screen just appearing/disappearing. It's the little extra things in life like CRT animations that make me
The CRT on animation just looks weird to me. I've gotten used to it, but it still doesn't look right. The CRT off is only something I notice if I'm looking for it. I don't miss it if it's not there, and in reality, I'm not even looking at my screen 75% of the time I lock it.

I've found that it's better if you slow it down some, but yes, it does go too fast to make it more than just a bragging feature really.
