I was just curious as to if there is a way to change the lock animation of the Xoom. I'm running Eos 3 nightly 117. What i mean by lock animation is this: For example, on my droid 4, when you hit the lock button, the screen looks like a TV turning off, similar to what you can do on this video. Right now, it just flashes off. It would be cool to have something different!
That's called CRT off animation. And I believe you can force enable it in build.prop

Where/how would one do that at? Yes I know using root explorer, but where at in build.prop
because I looked around and couldn't find what you're referring to
anyone else want to help with this? lol

If you dl the app "Screen Off and Lock"--I think the paid version--it has some animation options. You do need to set you animation settings to at least .5 in Developer Options-(Settings) to get it to work.
Thanks a bunch mate!! =D

Hey guys I am running the latest adw ex launcher on a Nexus S with the modaco rom on it and I have noticed that I dont have then screen shut off animation anymore. Is it something that I am missing or can someone lead me in the right direction into getting this fixed.

Sounds like a settings thing, maybe in the settings for ADW or more likely Spare Parts (on Modaco) you have the animations turned off.

Setting them to fast in Spare Parts also disables the animation. Make sure it's set to medium or lower.
Thanks I got it
been playing around with build.prop tweaks today. here's some that i have had good results with:
setting dalvik to 64
yes, that's high, but, switching screens on the homescreen has been a lot smother. you may have some issues with smaller apps, if so, try a lower setting. stock is 42, 48 may work good if you have a lot of smaller apps.
i also added these, so far so good, no problems. these are older tweaks, but they seem to be working here, but it's hard to tell
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
locks home in memory
Code:
ro.media.enc.JPEG.quality=100
makes pics display at 100% quality
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
enables hardware rendering of UI and home
take caution when editing build.prop. the file is located /system
do not delete or change anything else if you don't know what you're really doing.
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Disables the boot animations

Do you know if that works with 3rd party launchers (i.e. is HOME_APP whatever is linked to the home button, not hard coded to the moto home app)?
Wow, nice work guys. Quick question, does disabling the boot animation = faster boot time.

Not sure. You will still have the android boot animation. You just won't have the AT&T boot animation

I tried using the these settings and it bricked my phone. Just FYI for anyone thinking of trying them out.
I think it has to do with the hardware rendering setting, because when I boot the video is very distorted and slow. It then goes black and vibrates every few seconds and I can't get it back. Restore to factory default was no help at all.
Any thoughts on how I might get this thing running again?
here's the stock build.prop
if the device will power on, extract it from this zip and try to adb push it to /system
not sure how these settings would brick your phone though. are you sure you added them to build.prop and not default.prop? did you change anything else in build.prop?
Yeah, I only added the options listed in the forum post, and didn't change anything else.
The first thing I tried was shelling into the phone using adb, but it didn't work at all in the state the phone was in. After restoring to factory defaults I was able to boot and get the initial setup screen for the phone where it asks you to add your email accounts, etc., but when clicking "done" the app would crash and restart effectively locking me out of the phone.
I'm assuming the crash is because I de-bloated the phone previously, and maybe it's missing a system library? Who knows.
In any case it looks like I may be taking a trip to the AT&T store

Thats odd. A factory restore would have overwritten any changed files and added any missing apks from /system

Did you use a text editor on the phone or on a computer? If you use one that word wraps it will fubar the whole thing.
Here's a list of build.prop tweaks I found searching around, I haven't tried any myself yet, but hey, the more the merrier, right?

i used an on the phone editor. windows editors will wreck it, linux editors are fine with build.prop though. not sure what the member who bricked his phone used.
I just tested the boot animation setting with a stopwatch and it's pretty much the same time one way or the other.

I did in fact use my phone to edit the build.props file (instead of using adb shell). I used the text editor feature of root explorer. I didn't notice the text wrap on the screen or anything like that when I was typing. I suppose that could've been the culprit.

root explorer is fine, that wasn't your problem. i use root explorer as well. i think that either something else was changed, or something else is the problem.

With this setting does it change the display of your contact photos? Which show pretty crappy on the call screen.

That's one thing I hope can be modded once the bootloader gets unlocked. My X10 showed the contact pics the top 1/3rd of the screen and the quality was very good, would be nice to see something similar on this phone.

Same here, it just doesn't show the animation, but takes the same amount of boot time.

How can I get a fade for screen off and on animations without xposed on stock?

I may be completely wrong, but I don't think you can get that on stock. Take a look at developer options and see if you can change something there. I've never used xposed but I've seen the option to change screen off animations on custom roms. There may be an app that does this, but you'd probably need root.
Well I'd imagine there's a way to modify a file to do it on stock.

If you were able to modify said file, I think you'd still need the screen fade animation (whatever file that may be) to be able to see it in effect. I'm no expert though.
Pretty sure if you turn animations off in developer options it'll stop it. Havent checked.

Need Xposed + GravityBox or a custom rom.
I'm running ViperROM 1.8.0 and no matter what I do I cannot get the CRT screen-off animation to work. I have 2 apps that do this (possibly more that I've forgotten about), one being the obvious; Venom Tweaks and two being Sense 6 Toolbox. I originally figured that them both having it enabled was interfering with it but I was wrong. I've disabled both and re-enabled each one individually and still cannot get the CRT power off animation or even the Fade one for that matter. I'm also quite sure that I've gotten it previously but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it back nor am I sure if it was even the same ROM I managed to get it with (all though I am quite sure I managed to do it with 1.8.0 too).
How & or what do I need to do to get it? I love the animation as it just adds life to the phone to me.
Bump & another question, is it possible to get a kernel module like in the ElementalX kernel to use swipe up to wake or double tap to wake without the motion requirements??
Bumpppp

Yes
Well that's odd. I have both enabled on my M8 that is only rooted via weaksauce.
Let me take a quick guess.
You have animations all set to off?
Or at least the "Animator Duration Scale"
It's like this on 4.4.4 AOSP as well.
You must have this set to at least the minimum, the other two animation scales may be left off.
If you have animations on, then please ignore this lol.

Yes I turned that one back on and it fixed it, thank you! I had no idea that was even related to the screen off animations lol. Never thought I'd get this one solved or it'd be something as simple as that

It's actually been this way all the way back on HTC Sense 2.1, possibly even before that but I think I remember it becoming an issue on the HTC Inc2 with Sense 2.1.
Maybe im just overlooking, but i cant find the option to toggle landscape vs portrait screen rotation... Anyone else confused by this.. Im in chrome browser trying to view a page in landscape...
its in accessibility in the main settings. or, if you pull down the notification twice, its called portrait(not in stock).

A little bit of insight...
Ive just upgraded my stock nexus 5 to lollipop OTA, started playing arround with settings and accidentally clicked invertColours.
I later noticed this was in my toggles pull down, and screen rotate was not.
After manually toggling screenrotation in accessibility settings, it appeared in the toggles pulldown (still keeping colour invert).
Is there any documentation from google describing how toggles behave, and how to add/remove them?
This is very interesting, becuz when I posted this thread.. I went found screen rotate in accessibility thanks to the responses... Then Afterwards I noticed it in the pull down... And I was thinking to myself "wow has this really been in the pull down and I didn't even notice it" but apparently based on ur observation, the pull down changes... This makes me feel good , I no longer feel like a idiot now haha...
