[Q] Screen off animation on G2X - T-Mobile LG G2x

The CRT off animation on G2x really sucks. But i just realized that the animation works really awesome when my phone is connected to my LED TV via HDMI. The animation not only appears as expected in the tv but also in the phone itself. So why the animation performs as expected on the phone when the phone is connected to the tv via hdmi and not when it is not connected.
This is my video running ICS alpha on G2x you can notice in the screen off animation in the first few seconds

I think the problem is not in the lcd display. Because people before said that the G2x with lcd display cannot display the CRT animation properly. When hdmi is connected my G2X displays the animaltion just like the Nexus device

I've been wondering about this as well!

I would love to know as well. CTR looks nice on the MT4G, but looks ugly on stock based ROM's on the G2x. Although CM7 on the G2x CTR is decent and definitely better than how it looks on stock based LG GB ROM's. But it still isn't as good as I've seen on my old MT4G, or any other phone like the Nexus Line.

I really want this issue to be looked into!

Heh that's pretty interesting. For me the CRT animation goes too fast on stock and Weapon but is slower on CM7 but only half the animation shows on there.

What is wrong with the off animation? I haven't got my G2X yet so I haven't seen it first hand. Is it a slow off animation? If so then the Nook had this same problem awhile ago. It seemed to do with the cpu was to slow at idle to handle the animation. If you bumped up your minimum cpu speed the animation would go at normal speed. I'm not saying bump your minimum cpu is the answer but somehow the system needs to know that you need a higher cpu speed to handle the animation.

Mine looked fine until I used Spare Parts to speed up animations. I prefer the snappiness of the interface and will take the trade off.

"I absolutely f***ing love this phone!!"...top 3 reasons u love,and/or hate your MT4G
Here are mine:
- fast
- sense/no sense, 100% customizible out of the box
-free official wireless tethering, at pretty good speeds here in NYC.
And only one thing I hate, now that my therd one seems to be fully operating as advertised, is that no matter what I do, the damn S- off won't stick.
well this worked for me 3x http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHrtVzlsA_s
this was the last one i tried. still a no.
i wander what it is that i do wrong, cuz nothin seems to work?
I love everything about this phone.
It's fast and runs very smoothly.
I also love the wifi tethering.
What I don't like is the bloatware! ewwww
Wireless tethering is free?
got that right son... official & free!!!
Three favorite things:
1. WiFi Calling - A must for my tiny, ****ty hometown where only VZW gets signal! And also the basements on campus.
2. Iced Glacier - After de-sensing this ROM it flies! So stable and ridiculous Quadrant scores! (2700+)
3. All the awesome mods in the Themes section - Currently running with a personally altered version of Pack's animated GYR Android battery and status icons, Diablo 2's font, also my Android 2.2 BIOS boot screen and one of the myTouch 4G splash screens I made!
This is just some of what can be done with this phone! What is there not to love?! In my opinion, best phone on the market!

de-sensing i guess would be removing traces of htc sense from android..
however, iced glacier is probably the closest to stock rom..which i don't mind really, sense on the mt4g is really neat without the bloats of course

Ya. It takes all the bloat out and refines the ROM for a more refined feel.
The FFC, tried it with tango and it's fun.
The form factor, it's a bar type and its nice and thin.
The speed is fast! Even without OC.
The cons: the screen is pretty much a hit or miss.

Lol funny thing is I am on iced glacier right now and I get about 10 hours with light usage and about 6-10 hours depending on how hard I use it. I think I may have aa defective battery cause it stops charging randomly around after an hour and I have to reboot the phone to see the correct value of the battery's status.

Froyo vs Gingerbread - performance

Can anyone who has used both ROMs explain what the benefit would be for using the 2.3 roms? What exactly is better about it? I was thinking about trying it but dont want to bother if its not worth it.

What do you mean about what do you mean?
I am personally wondering on the inspire specifically if gingerbread is a great improvement?
Ehh, I ran the CM7 and it was cool, everything seemed nice and smooth...and the screen off animation never gets old but I like Sense and I find the custom sense roms to provide similar if not better speed and performance... then again there is no official GB for Desire HD/Inspire 4g, so... when that comes out we'll probably see a general overall improvement of performance etc
I'm not exactly sure if you would *need* it. We'll only *need* it when the Sony games/ports come into play that require GB. (Cuz we share very similar hardware with the Arc and Xperia Play)
Er...I mean I'll need it anyway. Can't wait to play some PS games on my Inspire
I just flashed Android Revolution.
I couldn't get back to CM7 fast enough. Lol
The only Froyo ROM that compares speed wise is MIUI. Other than that my phone ran noticeably slower. Just my experience.

The inspire plays ffvii at almost full speed depending on what is going on. That is on the stock Rom no root.

I ran CM7 for a few days but then went back to a Sense ROM. I did like a lot of the features on CM7 but I like the HTC apps and widgets even more. Plus, my battery life was even worse on CM7.
I don't really see much of a difference in speed at all. Both run very smoothly.

Yeah... but I've seen some demos of psx4droid, and I wasn't too impressed. I think the framerate drops would bug me... now if sony made an official emulator for the Arc/Xperia (which I believe they are) it should be pretty sweet at least that's how I recall the good ol psp days. Their PSOne emu was pretty good!
And back on topic, to OP, some people really like gingerbread's features etc. You should just flash CM7 and give it a spin for yourself. Just have a diff rom ready to flash if you don't like it. Bam. Gotta love Android
I noticed flash runs a lot better in GB and the browser on the CM7 is able to stay in desktop mode... Its the little things

It seems to work with Static Nonsense...I can tell a difference but I wouldn't say its dramatic.
I lost root with this, then fixed it, but didn't notice any real improvement after that. Scores stayed the same.

Couldn't hurt. I have to admit my web pages are loading faster, transitions are smoother...apps seem to be loading quicker and overall I can tell a difference...but again I have to say its not a "I'm just blown away by this" difference.
Just wanted to add that after flashing this, the first boot took forever...so long in fact I thought I was gonna have to pull the battery and recover a recent backup.
It did improve overall. even lower bat. drain. Thank you dsexton702 for the share.

First boot took a little while for me as well using CM7 nightly, but I do definitely like the increase in how smooth everything feels.
Anyone using this with a Sense ROM?
I'm using with VU 2.35 sense 3.0 and it does wonders my score before at 1 ghz. Was 1800
Right after installing u.s.a.s still at 1 ghz jumped up to 2200 quadrent score.
After oc to 1.3 ghz my quadrent score was 2600
Runs very nice hard to tell difference as VU 2.35 runs so smooth but its an improvement
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Went from 1991 to 2056. VU 2.35 runs very nice, but was having a small hesitation when turning on screen and this seems to have fixed that issue. Very nice work
So if I cook this in, my autofill does NOT work in messaging, but if I flash it after a rom install its fine
This is an awesome tweak my processor has never been stable over 1.3 now Im running 1.7 ghz and its crazy fast got my quadrent score up to 3000 running this fast
Never had such a smooth experience doesn't matter how many apps are open.

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

Using latest version of Eaglesblood with faux kernel. It's stable, and battery life is awesome. I'm not into ROM swapping. When find one that works, I stick with it, and it's looking like I'll be with this one for a while. Maybe when an ICS ROM gets refined, I'll give it a go. I would like to have Chrome on the android.
Using CM 7.2 RC1 with faux ds kernel. I get about thirteen hours of medium use, light use lasts a couple of days.
It's a great stock rom without the problems of LG based ones.

Actually looks fine. But I notice more stutter than before, perhaps the ICS animation is bogging it some down.
Still a fan of CM7/Cm9.
I can honestly say, I'm sticking to the G2X despite having a Galaxy GS2. I truely enjoy the Cyanogen ROMS and can't wait for it to come CM9 on G2X and GS2
Also that Samsung is too big. Should have waited. Not sure I'll get any device over 4 inch screen. But thats me

I'm also finding it difficult, or at best, extremely annoying, to "select all" of a text to delete or copy it. I liked how it was in GB better. Blah
I'm sure a future release of CM9 will address this. I wouldn't invest too much time on Samsung's bloated Stock ROM. If it helps you can speed up the animations on Settings>developer options> window and transition animation scales to .5 for optimized speed.
