Animation when turning display off - HTC Sensation

I'm running ARHD 6.6.3. Today I installed AOKP but didn't like it very much so I turned back to ARHD.
There is one thing that I liked very much from AOKP and that is the way the screen turns off when you press the power button to put your phone in sleep mode.
It looks like an old TV when you turn it off making that fine bright line in the middle and contracting very fast.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows if there is a way to have it in ARHD 6.6.3 too,please tell me.

It's been ported to Sense roms but it cause graphic problems. I wouldn't recommend flashing it.
Also, it's called CRT-off and was introduced in Gingerbread AOSP.
Edit: Here it is:

Anyone Loosing Backlights on Kernel upgrades?

Seems like all the kernels for me are having small problems with the backlights. The only problem is that it no longer comes on after turning the screen on, you have to tap one of the softkeys and then the light up. They go off when the screen goes off however.
Currently i'm on Stock Rom, Trinity 1.2.2 Kernel. I've had the same problem with morific's kernels with stock/Cm7 as well. Its not a big issue as voodoo sounds amazing, but im a slight perfectionist.
Thanks in Advanced

capacitive buttons not lighting up

I find with my phone that the capacitive buttons do not light up all the time, it seems from boot to boot that it will sometimes work and sometimes not but with bricked kernal it works all the time and in the recovery it works all the time as well.
Anyone else getting this problem ??.
By design, they turn on and off depending on the amount of the light in the area. If you were to be in a dark place, then they will light up. If you were outside during daytime, then they would turn off as you can see the buttons just fine without them lighting up.
that doesnt seem to be the case for mine, its either on or off, i have not noticed it dynamically change depending on the condition of lighting.
Have you flashed a custom rom? If so, consider reinstalling the rom or swapping it altogether. If you've modified any system files or flashed any customization zips, that could be the culprit too. I know some roms out there offer "tweaked brightness thresholds", I believe this could contribute as well.
yea its ARHD i update every couple weeks or so.
Are you on ICS? If so playing around with the brightness settings should fix it, put in on auto brightness as well.

I think i have figured it out, it seems that if i boot or reboot my phone in the light it will be off but if it put it under a blanket or somewhere dark it will switch the capacitive lights on. It only seems to switch between on and off when booting/rebooting so do other peoples switch on and off dynamically while the phone is still switched on ??.
I have tried all roms including ICS and the same scenario happens with all.

App for locking the screen brightness?

Hashcode and twa_priv both have great ROM's out now, that work wonders with the battery drain in standby. One of my kids gets -15 or less drain when in deep sleep now. Amazing.
But my other daughter, hers keeps spiking up over -120 and higher while using the same rom. I saw that the screen brightness cant be set to 100 or the screen doesn't fully shut off, and that is exactly what is happening. I can still see a dim backlight sometimes when turned off.
I keep changing it to a lower setting, and then she gets great battery life for a while, then something is changing the screen brightness back to 100. She isnt doing it, because I grounded her from it for a couple days, and it still did it when she wasn't even playing. So I wiped everything, clean installed the 01/08 rom fresh today, and it still does it.
Is there an app that will lock the brightness for me? I cant seem to find one.
Thanks!
I had that same issue on my KF repeatedly and found that it was from build.prop changes. Switched to Paranoid Android and the in notification brightness slider has been perfect and the screen off/on issue never came back.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
Once I studied this Kindle closer, you could see the screen backlight come on for a few seconds, then back to sleep, then back on, and back to sleep. A clean install of the latest rom from twa_priv seems to have fixed the problem, he reverted some kernal changes that were causing problems for some users.
Funny that you are in Eustis, I live there and in Mt. Dora for a while, back around 1988 to maybe 1993. I am in Ocala now.

[Q] Capacative Buttons go out too soon

I upgraded my HTC Inspire 4G from CM 7.2 to JellyTime 4.2.1, which is based on CM 10. Very smooth ROM, and I'm very happy with how it's working. One minor problem that I'd like to get some help on is that the capacative keys back light goes off after 2 seconds or so of inactivity. I'd like them to stay on as long as the screen is on, or if that's not possible it would be good to have them turned on by the proximity sensor.
There are lots of posts on this on various sites, and it seems that some people can't get them to turn off and others can't get them to stay on. I toggled Auto Brightness, and that didn't have any effect. Also tried it in a very dark room and covering the light sensor with my hand, and darkness does not make them come on. Only an actual touch of the screen or one of the keys.
I'm assuming this is a quirk of JellyTime, since others with stock ROMs or other CM variants are saying the keys stay on. But there's nothing in the JellyTime bug tracker. It may have come up in the JellyTime thread, but I can't read 1100+ pages of comments. Excellence and popularity has its downside.

[Q] Cyangogen mod On HTC Sensation - Screen Flickers Badly

I am posting a new thread here because it says I cant post in the specific rom's thread.
I've recently flashed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 rom on my HTC Sensation and it works fabulously when it works.
I have the latest build but I'm experiencing a very intense screen flicker several times a day that requires I pull out the battery to fix it.
A normal reboot or power down/power up doesn't seem to fix it. The flickering will continue after reboot unless I pull out the battery.
The screen flickers and then goes totally black until I touch the screen again, then it flickers enough that I can see the content on the phone.
But the moment I release the screen it goes solid black again.
I flashed my phone back to stock before I installed the rom. I'm kind of a noob with all this - I flashed my last HTC HD2 phone to a separate XDA rom, so I have some experience, but not a whole lot. I may seem clueless on some things but I CAN figure it out with some clearly-written steps.
This seems to be a known issue but I haven't seen anything suggested that has fixed it for me yet.
If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it! I love the rom but the screen flicker happens sporadically. Sometimes it won't happen for hours, sometimes it will come back fifteen to thirty minutes after I power back on.
Try this rom. It's a modden version of CM10.1, specificly tweaked for the Sensation, running Android-4.2.2. I'm using it for a few days now on my own Sensation and I really like it.

That's the one I used. It's perfect except for that horrible screen flicker.
Still waiting and hoping for an update.
I only noticed some screen flickering when I use the panorama function of the camera app. I've also seen a youtube where a guy is complaining about screen flickering. But this is an older video and this use was using an older version at the time.
In case you didn't know, this rom comes with GooManager. You can use it to check for updates for this rom.
