[REQUEST] .zip to remove CRT animation from any rom

I know some people like the CRT animation, but personally I like my phone to turn on quick. I'm sure there is an easy way by means of a little recovery flashing to remove the CRT animation. Can anyone help? Thanks

Replace the downanimation.zip from system/customize/resources with a downanimation you like...
Personally i like the one attached (its stock, only black background..)

Download https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts&feature=search_result from the app market and set the window and transition animation to fast and then no more CRT transitions for you.

Go into settings>display and disable all animations?

This is the fastest/easiest way to disable CRT on/off animation.
If you really want to remove it then just push the stock services.jar to your phone using adb. You can get it from under /system/framework/ in your custom ROMs zip file.

not for removing crt... screen-off-on animation
- sorry if i'm wrong -

None of the above worked for me...

Taskbar Menu

Can someone show me how I can personally change my top taskbar menu (if it's possible) and where can I find the themes for it?
Thanks.

It all depends what you're actually trying to do?
Just change a color? Change the pull down background? Add quickpanel toggles?

I flashed my phone back to stock rom and I just wanted the taskbar to look like the octane rom that I was running on before.

You can try pulling the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from octane and replacing them in the appropriate spots in your current ROM as long as the rom you are on is deodexed. But it may,not work. Or, you can replace the .png files using 7zip and then replace those files with your new themed ones (less chance of fc or bootloop). But the second method is a bit more detailed.

Does UOT kitchen work with Theme Chooser apps now? Last time I used it, it was only for the actually framework files (framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk).

i guess not i read a bunch about just getting the theme chooser.apk and uploading that and it is supposed to add an apk to the zip it gives u to download
1. Go to the Kitchen page
2. Browse through the available mods and choose what you want (don't forget to press Generate preview if there is such a button)
3. Go to the file upload section and upload the required files, or choose the ROM you use from the kitchen's list (most roms in the list are for HTC Desire)
Files you need to upload:
Froyo rom: framework-res.apk
Gingerbread rom: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to apear in theme menu)<----thats what im using
NOTE 1: if you’re uploading theme apk then do not upload any other files; you’re just wasting traffic, because the kitchen will ignore additional files
NOTE 2: Font packs and boot animation do not require files to be uploaded. If you choose only those mods then you get a download without a queue.
4. Go to the summary section. All chosen mods must have a green background. If there is a mod in red background it means you didn’t finish it.
Press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember the UOT file name (your order number).
6. Go to the Pickup page and wait for your file to appear (it can take from 5min to 1hr or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into recovery
9. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache (just in case). Do not wipe data / factory reset.
10. Flash UOT zip
11. Reboot phone

So you can actually take a CM7 Theme Chooser theme and use that for UOT Kitchen? Then apply it to any ROM?

No. Theme Chooser themes only work with roms that have themechooser integration. Otherwise its a lot of work to port.

Hey Kwes - I have not tried UOT with New Clip because you mentioned themes may break things. Does that also apply to UOT? I wanted to change the color of all the items on the status bar to the hex ICS color. Should that be OK if I do not change anything else?
Or is there a better way to do that?

As long as you use the systemui and framework-res from the rom it shouldn't break anything. But some sketchy edits I made in framework as work a rounds might not let you edit it with uot but you can always try. I'm gonna update soon if I can just get these lock screens right.

Thanks. I will give it a try tonight or tomorrow. I want to make a set of all gingerbread green status bar icons and a set of all ICS blue status bar icons. If it works I will send them to you and you could add them to New Clip (if you want to) as an option for people that want everything matching, but do not want a complete makeover theme.
I just think it looks nice when the battery, clock, signal, wifi, etc match in color. Fond of ICS blue right now. I think I know how to repack it so anyone can use it. I'll PM you later if I get it done.
Edit: Well...that was a disaster. I just changed the status bar icons and added a different battery. Result was a boot loop twice and then a black screen requiring a battery pull. Restored my back up and will give it another try. Maybe a bad file download?

An all new update is just around the corner. Kwes1020 has some magic he is holding back until its right. Old weapon 3.0 works fine with UOT. I am not a real theme guy. I answer easy questions for noobs and piggyback off the hard work of others, but always give credit and thanks to the real guys. If the update does not happen as expected, I will take another stab at it.
I love learning new things and android has become an addiction. If you want to try, read up on topic. Tons of good info out there. UOT is simple to use. The trick is making the zip you create compatable with every one else. There is a mini tutorial in the moonman thread.

My First Time
So I sat for over an hour making my first OUT kitchen Theme if that is what you call it, I am waiting for it to cook as you say.... hope all goes well when I flash it to my stock Gingerbread rom......

[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..

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.

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!

[DEV QUESTION] APK Decompile Enable Single Screen Non-Scrolling?

Hello,
I have a question about modifying APKs.
I have just decompiled the Apex Launcher APK, and I would like to change the Homescreen Settings to display the wallpaper as a "Single screen non-scrolling"
Does anyone know which XML file this would be under? And what values should I change to make this happen?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the link.
I have found that the Scrolling Settings for Android are within the Workspace.smali file.
Does anyone know exactly what line of code would need to be changed? There is over 19,000 lines in this file, so anyone that has experiance in this would be amazing, thanks. My only goal is to have the OS start with "Single screen non-scrolling" enabled instead of the "Multi screen scrolling" that is enabled by default.

Ok, so I have uploaded a copy of the Workspace.smali I am working with. I have found references at line 4201, 16220, and 18887 that deal with scrolling and wallpaper dimensions. Could someone look over this and let me know if any of these line are able to be modified to change the scrolling? Thanks.

Apex launcher has this in setting to change wallpaper mode. Why are you trying to modify apk then? Just trying to understand your purpose.

It'll be easier for you if you just compiled it from source. It'll also be easier to locate the needed line that would need to be changed.
