[Q] Cool Effects

Hey guys I am using an Inspire 4g rooted on stock rom.
I was wondering is there any way I can get cool effects on my phone such as CRT animations or dialog pop up boxes without changing ROMs? I would like to stay on stock rom but still be able to get these effects. Please Help, Thanks

If you want crt animation that is easy to do just decompile framework-Res.apk and look for bools.XML scroll till you see screen on and screen off animation and change the value from false to true. Recompile and your done. You can change the loading boxes and such inside com.HTC.resources.apk. once you decompile you will see all the. 9pngs and you can mod as you want. Another option for the loading boxes is in the skins...that way you can test them very easily after you mod without having to flash anything.

I'm now running MIUI, and my problem is solved. MIUI is so much better than stuck and I love the customizability of it.

[MOD] - Smooth Crt Off Screen

HEY GUYS...
What Ive done is ported over the smoothness of CRT animation screen-off. Its pretty simple for anyone to do this and has some mods from SkyIceCreamSandwich from Sean. Hope you enjoy it and If you like what im doing so far all you have to do is hit thanks.
INSTRUCTIONS.
Extract From Rar then take build.prop and put it in your phone's system folder and rename the older build.prop to build.propbak = backup. Once done all you have to do is reboot. Make sure before doing that you older build.prop is renamed otherwise won't work. As stated above this build.prop has mods that are from SkyIceCream and if your dev has different mods please discuss it with them and they'll adjust it based on their roms and input it for you.
ENJOY
Master&Slave™
To enable the CRT off animation just decompile the framework, open up the bools file and search for something like animate_screen_lights....make sure that value is false and re compile and viola. Your kernel should be able to handle the animation, Kernels with higher clock speeds tend to better..

Why exactly did you do to the build.prop?

Will this work on stock Rogers ROM?

well it won't because rogers's firmware is odexed and when a rom is odexed its difficult to get the crt animation in the framework. i can take a shot at it soon once i finish up my theme work im doing with port. but don't insert this build.prop if you're on stock rogers rom otherwise big troubles :O well not big troubles but won't work anyways. but give me time ill look into it for ya.

Will this work on stock/rooted?

I don't understand how any change in the build.prop is going to enable the CRT off animation -- I just did a merge with my current build prop and cannot find anything unaccounted for which would do this.

it doesn't add crt animation through build.prop what this build.prop does is smooth out the crt animation in the roms that have crt animation. if you don't have it, you can send me the framework-res.apk and i can add it for you but now a days every rom has it anyways. and some roms already have crt on animation too..

I see! Didn't quite read that correctly. Yeah, I was able to add it to my framework super easily, thanks.

Worked like a charm. Even opened my current one to compare mods and they all appear pretty much the same. Except this also includes some nice extras like extra touch responsiveness and forced launcher in to ram etc. Thanks!

Any chance you can tell us the line that you added in order to smooth out the CRT off animation? Sometimes it can be a pain to just replace a whole file if only one thing is changed.

sure no problem please make sure your framework-res.apk has crt working before doing any buildprop edits. if you dont' have crt off animation working then go to framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. download apk manager for your computer to modify this. once there then follow instructions to putting these files into place here for moding folder. open apk manager press 22 then enter then select framework-res.apk and then do i believe 10 to decompile apk with dependencies then it'll ask you for dependencies then drag twframework into the apk manager screen and press enter and that should decompile the apk then go into projects folder and from there go to framework-res.apk then res folder then go into values folder then bools folder.for next step you need notepad ++ if you can download that once done then right click onto bools.xml and open with notepad ++ after that once opened go to the line where it says screen animation where it says true change that to false. once done save and close it. then go into apk manager then press 11 to compile apk and once done that then it'll ask you if its a system.apk then type Y and enter and it'll do its stuff then it'll ask you to go to keep folder in apk manager folder where u went for you projects. once in keep folder then delete resource.xml b/c u edited a xml file. once done then go back to apk manager and press enter and it'll have a unsignedframework-res.apk ready for you take that to desktop rename it to framework-res.apk and find a signed zip online either from modaco website or ask anyone that has some info for. and create a framework folder then place your framework-res.apk into it and drag it to the zip and you're done. send it back to your phone and go into cwm and flash it and you're good to go. then go into build.prop and add line debug.composition.type=gpu and then save your build.prop and reboot phone and you got crt animation off with smooth butter
for those that have crt animation go to buildprop and edit this line
debug.composition.type=c2d to debug.composition.type=gpu
again if anyone can write better instructions to it feel free and i'll pin it right onto top.. thanks

I noticed that there are different types of CRT screen off animations (IE. CM7 screen off CRT vs Sky ICS screen off CRT).
Is one or the other "smoother"? For me, both seem to blink off smooth, but I did prefer the Cm7 one over the SkyICS one.
Has anyone else noticed this? Also, anyone have CRT ON for Sky ICS?

mm if u notice it smooths it out just like you said but if you look @ seans and other's rom crt off you'll see it shut downs slowly but with this its faster because its using gpu power to control the animation rather then cores..
gimme little bit of time :O i feel like im jumping alot of things all @ once >_< im gonna look to get crt animation on within couple of days or so again can't promise but i'l bring it soon..

NP man take your time, I was just wondering if it was available or not
So this mod doesn't actually change your ROM's CRT off animation correct? It just changes the settings so that your phone uses GPU instead of core power for the graphics?

this mod just smooths out crt animation to feel smooth on turning off screen rather then pixel shut off type which roms are using here.. and exactly like u said . but yes i'll do it as soon as i can. thank you

Hey Wali I tried out your Mod last night on Seans Sky ICS ROM after being unsatisfied by the "unsmooth" CRT OFF animation. I did what you said:
1) Pulling build.prop with ADB
2) Edit the line: debug.composition.type=c2d to debug.composition.type=gpu
3) Pushing build.prop to my sd card with ADB
4) Used Busy box to copy the new build.prop over to internal storage /system/build.prop, over writing the old one.
Gotta say it does look much better, this is exactly what I was looking for that I was missing from other ROMs like Cm7. Now the CRT OFF animation looks like its animated better.
It's not exactly "smoother", as when the CRT Off animation was powered by c2d the shut off animation was still smooth, but the GPU version enhances it too look much "nicer".
Thanks for the tip Wali! Great work as always Keep it up!

[Q] Change Bootanimation on Trickdroid 7 TMOUS

Hi Everyone,
I am not being able to change the bootanimation on Trickdroid v7 TMOUS rom, I am stuck with the ugly grey "android" bootanimation.
I have checked file /system/customize/CID/default.xml which states the bootanimation would be on file /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip, but changing it does nothing.
Any clues? I also tried placing on resource folder a htc_rockey_animazation.zip or someting like that detailed on some posts but neither worked. There are no other xml files on CID folder, and Trickdroid Tweak Packages can't change the animation neiher.
If you have any directions I would greatly appreciate them,
Regards,
Diego
PD: yeah I say regards as if this was an email... whatever I am still saying it =P

If you have a bootanimation.zip file you can replace the one in your current rom in system/media. Best to do it before the flash it seems though. Otherwise, there's a boot animation app in the market. Search boot animation

Ok now I tried installing a boot animation with ROM Toolbox Lite and it removed my current bootanimation but only have black screen now instead of boot animation.
I just tried resizing one to 540x960 and 30fps wit the same app but still black screen.
It is one step forward to having another animation though hehe, thanks, will keep trying other animations from ROM Toolbox to see if one works
Thanks for the info. Has it happened to you that some animations get you black screen? Just installed 3 different ones and same results,

I had no zip file on /system/media/, I placed one there and renamed to bootanimation.zip, rebooted, and it worked!!! :victory:
Thanks a lot blackcell1 and beats4x !! It seems ROM Toolbox made something so the phone looked into /system/media for animations, because there was nothing there, neither the grey android ugly animation I had before using ROM Toolbox.

Boot Animation

Hi guys.. I'd like to share a boot animation with you all. Follow the link below but I didn't get the boot animation as described ( very strange!!!! ).. What I have is this using ( " Rotate animation without background " ) from the link below
http://allhackersnews.com/2013/11/change-kitkat-style-android-logo-boot-animation.html
I have the LG G Pro, too and I've found it's Lockscreen app on Play Store.. It has some really cool unlock animations (which I think are better than the G3) .. Here go
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.optimus&hl=en_GB
Description
LG Optimus Lockscreen is a lock screen application which makes your phone looks exactly like LG optimus G, including Particle, Crystal, DewDrop, Ripple and WhiteHole effect, the effect is very gorgeous and smooth, simple and practical!
Application features:
1 Particle effect;
2 Crystal effect;
3 Dewdrop effect;
4 Ripple effect;
5 WhiteHole effect;
3D DewDrop effect requires root support, if your device is not rooted, dew drop will be not perfect.
Crystal projection effect requires root, if not rooted, crystal only shows wallpaper.
Note: To prevent double lock screen, enable LG Optimus Lockscreen, and choose the system lock screen as "None."
