[Q] Remove CRT Lock Animation from GB Roms? - Samsung Infuse 4G

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...

Yes they can be used with Sense UI.....most DEVS have updated their ROMs with the latest Rosies that now support LWP.
I've found the least lag with the zoomfield and mystify....although I'm quite partial to NexusMod 2.0
I've got nexusmod going right now and it hasn't seemed to cause any problems. Also Bezier and LiveFireWallpaper seem pretty cool and ran smoothly for me. (these 3 are all from the market)
The maps one is the only one that I might be willing to give up the weather animations for, but I haven't had a chance to try it out while I'm on the road. I'm a bit concerned what it might do as far as lag and battery consumption while buzzing down the highway.
I like zoom field and I really like the nexus mod but it doesnt stick after sleep what did you guys do to get it going?

Had to regrettably remove the HtchWeatherWallpaper.apk in systems/app
Everytime coming out of a sleep or unlocking the phone the weather wallpaper effects...kick the livewallper out.

Ouch....what are you using for a Rosie, if it's all good to ask? Did you flash a nice newly updated ROM or did you just add a Rosie like I did...?

im using DC 2.07 but I did change the rosie along with the lockscreen. im wondering if its not something to do with the fact that I took the HTCLockscreen apk from 2.06 becuase the weather animations dont kick in until you unlock it but the nexus mod dies as soon as I wake up the phone even before unlocking. are you using a clear lockscreen?
I am having the same problem. I wiped and did a clean flash and I cannot get the nexus mod lw to stick after sleep.
I have removed weather wallpaper as well but still a no go.
ok I have it naroowed down to 2 things it is either the HtcLockscreen.apk that I pulled from the other rom or its com.htc.resources.apk I pused both back and now it is back to stock but the LWP sticks

does the nexus mod stick>?
I like the Plasma live wallpaper. You can play with the settings to change flow rate, colors, intensity, etc.

Its not the lockscreen... I deleted my lockscreen and use vanilla, but it still doesnt stick on wake up.
yes. I am testing some stuff right now once I figure out whats causing it ill post
Maybe its in the NexusMod apk itself.. You might want to look into that.
Compare it to the ones that do stick.

nexus mod is the only LWP i think is worth having imo but possibly something within the apk its self could be tweaked to help it stick
Same here, I deleted the weather.apk and flashed the new rosie on darchlegend and nexus does not stick.

Seriously agree, the other ones are pretty nice too, but nexus mod kills it.
ok it is something to do with the clear lockscreen. I went back and pused them one at a time starting with com.htc.resources.apk. still stuck after that, pushed back the clear HtcLockscreen.apk and it wouldnt stick anymore. now I have no idea whats so ever how to fix the problem but that is where my problem lies at least.

I partly agree.. I like the bezier and another one, but i prefer the NexusMod. Im going to pull the apk and see whats the difference.

Is there a how to on changing your Sense lock to AOSP?

Title pretty much says it all. I've been hopping from mod to mod, theme to theme, framework to framework to get exactly what I want in my phone aesthetically. I'm using this frame right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12131447&postcount=37210
The guy who ported was kind enough to point me to this AOSP lock that worked, but didn't quite match what I wanted to accomplish. I'm really looking for this lock, and if not then just a straight up AOSP lock.
As I said, I've tried just about every combo possible but everything takes something away that I want to keep. I tried the how to theme thread, and it was a great resource but only offered advice on how to change the png on HTC's lock; something I'm not particularly interested in.
Is there a howto on how to get this accomplished myself? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
You can just use root explorer to rename your HTC lockscreen to something else to get the vanilla lock

Do you know which files get accessed when it reverts back to the lockscreen then? I did what you said, and it basically gave me the same version that I linked to before. Even if I can extract the files and alter them myself, I feel like I'll be accomplishing something. I just don't know where it draws from.
That I'm not sure of

Open up framework-res.apk
nav to > res
nav to >drawable-hdpi
>all files with the work jog in them control the AOSP lock bars
ie... jog_dial is for rotary and jog_tab is for tabbed lock bars
Further into it if you scroll up anything with ic_jog will be your buttons like the Lock icon and Vibrate icon on the tabs/rotary.

If you're still having trouble with this.. post your framework-res.apk...and we'll get it working as a flashable zip for thee.

Exactly what I needed man, thanks. I pretty much ninjamorphed whatever he had with CM's and it looks great. the only thing I'm missing is the "unlock" text over the bar. I know that's nitpicky, but do I just reopen the sliding tab and print it on there myself?
thanks again guys. everyone should learn this.

Ok, I seem to have spoken too soon. I successfully did it, but now for whatever reason my camera FCs now. Would someone mind slipping the aosp lock/clock into my framework if I attach? a thousand thanks to anyone that can, because clearly I'm not meant to, lol
Well here's my framework, just in case soneone can work a little magic. Id truly appreciate.

Here you go. I made the mod that this is ported from, and I fixed your framework for you. You'll see some other little changes that were left out of the original mod put back in there also. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10051019/framework-res.apk

He wasn't trying to be a ****. It's a very flexible and effective way to change your lock to just about anything including a ton of custom locks. Well worth $1.99 to people who want a high degree of customization and control over their lockscreen.
Why not purchase widgetlock? You can switch between aosp lc and lense lc. Just my opinion

First off, I love your work on this. The whole theme is great, and the only reason I keep trying to Frankenstein this one in particular is because I love the black on-screen notifications over that HTC grey. Unfortunately when I replaced frameworks I bootlooped :-/
@the other two previous to this post: I don't want to do that because its unnecessary. I don't need to spend money on a bandaid when I (with the help of others here) can go into the filesystem and do it myself.

Are you using Myn's RLS5?
Ya. Like i said, I would typically just rename the HTC lock but i was looking for a more stock screen as opposed to the theme one.

GBs Rom screen closing like old tv

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

Anyone know of any good Boot Animations?

I'm looking specificly for one that is for ICS, with android robots racing like speedracer. Not sure if I can find this again, but it was somewhere on the web and I had it working for awhile and another rom I installed removed it.
Thanks for any help!
I generally check ROM Toolbox, he added some nice tablet friendly boot animations that work, and are super graphical

[Q] How do i turn off/disable CRT animations?

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.
