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.

There's an add on in the Android Revoloution HD thread, Post 2. Crt animations
Thanks for the help. Now I know what to search for ill have a look. Incidentally, what does crt stand for?
Cathode Ray Tube
like the old tv's, when they turned on and off

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 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
Confused...
What exactly does it do?
If your talking about the animation. Its cathode ray tube. The old TVs were crt and they shut off "slowly" and there was a white lines that converged in the center the went away
I know what a cathode ray tube is... but, keep seeing CRT ON/OFF as a flashable zip for various ROMs and such.
So you're saying this is literally just the animation for when the screen sleeps like on the CM ROMs?

Yes that's it. Just like on GB or your grandpa's tv when you shut it off.
ok cool.
thanks for answering my dumb question
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.
Hi everyone,
I had updated my Nexus S to android 4.1 jelly bean yesterday. I am satisfied with everything but the loss of my turn-off screen animation that previously we had for Nexus S (the oldschool TV turn-off animation).
I would like to know if this is a bug during my installation (the installation went smoothly) or android 4.1 purposely removed such animation? Such screen-off effect is one of the reasons that I bought my Nexus S and I am not willing to see it gone. I had searched the forum but so far did not see anyone facing such problem. Kindly advise me what to do.
Thanks everyone in advance!

Really? Good thing it wasn't deciding factor for me, because I don't seem to have it.
there is thread already on this issue.

Wow. Only a few topics down and you would have seen that massive thread in the previous post.

I just updated to jellybean myself and i did notice that that tv animation was gone too. So after some digging U have to go to settings scoll down to developer options and then down to window animation scale and change it to 1x to bring back that tv on/off screen animation back. Also I kept the Transition animation scale at 5x for apple iphone type of visuals.
The only thing that i do not know what is does is the option called Animator duration scale. I played with it from 5x up to 10x and i have not noticed any difference
If anyone knows a explanation would be nice.
I think it may be the "fade in" animations. I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm pretty sure that's what those are.

That's seriously one of the reasons you bought the Nexus S??? It's a cool effect, but to be one of the deciding factors of your purchase.....??
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all replies!
For the tv animation it is just one of the many factors that help me in making my purchase, it is just like the choice between super-lcd and super-amoled can be a deciding factor for someone, but not for someone else who cannot see the difference or who does not care. During my comparison regardless of price my friends told me that galaxy s2 has better spec, better screen, better camera etc. but I chose nexus s over s2 for also reasons that the s2 model in my country could not be updated to latest android without rooting.
For the developer option method it works for me too, but I really dnt like all the extra efforts and time needed to solve these problems, it makes me feel like google doesn't take care of its old customers (my perception only).
If Google didn't take care of it's old customers you wouldn't have the JB update to complain about in the first place...
A TV animation just seems like a trivial thing to complain about in all honesty. Its a known bug on the SLCD model and no software is perfect. And is it really that hard to tap a few buttons to fix some settings? I mean, seriously.

Exactly. The OP put in more effort to make this thread than it took to re-enable the screen off animation.

is it really that hard to understand that tapping a few buttons won't fix anything? adjusting the animation scales and whatnot will fix bull****

Well... that 1x solution didn't work which was already by default on me but increasing 5x and 10x did work.

All animations are set to 1x bx default, and changes do not affect the behavior of the screen-off-animation.

I just wish I knew why adjusting the rate at which those animations occur seems to somehow fix the issue for some. My complaint was more along the lines of people not wanting to take the effort to attempt to even get into the menu to find those settings. Of course hitting buttons ain't gonna solve anything . Well in most case it wouldn't work. Haha. Speaking of, when I originally disabled my animations, my app drawers animations stopped. Never did that in ICS.
My animation still works...
So to clear up the confusion: This bug only concerns the SLCD version. For those who don't know it, AirKernel seems to fix the problem, it did it for me and I'm running Euroskanks CM10.

I am using latest alpha - 0.8 - cm10 rom from kalim for a week and crt animation was gone.
Today I flashed latest hypothalamus-07.26.zip kernel and animation is back on my slcd i9023 :good:

the effect will only works on nexus s amoled screen, those models with SclearLCD like i9023...you can't see the effect because the timing of turn off the back light happen earlier than the effect. The TV off effect is actually there, but without backlight, we can't see it...you will see it sometimes, because of delay of the backlight due to hardware slow response... have a nice day, guys... pass this to google team and xda team, this will help them easily fix it ...!
Hello everyone,( oh and please move this if there is a more appropriate location for my questions) I have recently gotten into romming due to the just... eww of the stock tmobile t679's well... everything...
what am I running now? I was swapping around a few different roms and have settled down on two I like pretty well which are pacman for jellybean 4.2 and baked blackbean 4.2. At this exact moment I'm on the baked. I have a couple questions about some customizations I'd like to do (basically have done for me so I can just apply them as I am not really talented in the ways of photo manipulation) and one question about hardware buttons.
Starting with the hardware buttons, the one thing I miss from the stock rom is the "touch light duration" feature, as being on a samsung with hardware touch buttons I have come to enjoy leaving the lights on as long as my screen is active. Is there still a way to do this? on ANY rom, or could there be some work around? I really don't like the soft button idea as they take up too much of my screen. (yes I have tried it) Please and thank you for any advice on that front.
Now on to the fun and colorful part. I very much enjoy the cm10 bootanimation and I've seen a couple images of it in other colors. What I would like, if someone was so awesome as to put it together for me a custom color changing version with my name in the middle. I can pull up the image with the colors I like if anyone decides to tackle this. (I know how to apply the new bootanimation, just need it made)
The other thing I would like to change is my boot splash, not that I don't love what the custom rommers out there have made for all of us to enjoy, but the team insomnia logo just isn't my cup of tea. I would love something a bit more... purple and girly. Again I have an image in mind if anyone wants to make it into an easily flashable or otherwise installable format. I have no idea how to do this one.
Please and thank you for anyone who can help me out =)

yeah I think I was on higher than 10.1 and that was the problem, anyway yes please if you feel like making me a boot animation =)
PM me for details as I cannot post links just yet
I just went back and tried 10.1 again and still don't see a way to change button light duration. Oh well, I have the stuff I want for my bootanimation on my fb already as well as what I'd like for a bootsplash image, so send me a message and I'll link you up. =)
