CRT-Off Animation?

So here it goes, and I'm not quite sure i'm posting in the right section, but I figured this is where I would get the best response.
Now that that's out of the way...
As I understand it, getting a CRT-Off animation to work on my One S (using the only method I know, flashing in Clockwork Recovery) would require a version tailored for the specific ROM i'm on and the specific model. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd like to get this effect without reflashing a whole new ROM (as I know its built into some ROMs.) I'm on a TMO branded USA One S running the new TrickDroid v4.4 It's nice But it would be much, MUCH nicer w. the CRT-Off. Any ideas?

With my tablet back in the HC days. All I had to do was edit one word in the bools.xml.
You'll have to decompile the framework-res, look in res/values for bools.xml
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
change the true to false and that enable CRT off.
Now that my tablet is running CM9, this feature does not work (cause reboot).
I have not tried any custom ROM yet on the One S to see if this work or not.
BTW you should post question like this in Q&A section.

How do I edit the file and decompile framework-res? Sorry, I'm very new to this.

Don't bother...its not gonna work. No custom roms here have CRT animation because its not possible without hacked video drivers...

Which is probably more difficult than it sounds, right? And it sounds pretty damn difficult. Oh well. Worth a try. If any come across a method, post here.

Yes, this is the wrong section. This section is for DEVELOPMENT threads, not questions. Funnily enough, those go in the QUESTIONS forum.

CM9 and AOKP both have CRT animation.

Moved To Q&A​
This is a development section, its not for questions. Please post in the correct section!​

[Q] bloatwares in DXKT7 stock rom??

hello guys,
I am in the learning process making custom ROM from DXKT7 stock rom with dsixda kitchen, with my little knowledge about linux stuff (really little), it's still a long way for me becoming great dev like tj_style or squadzone, but still I wanna learn little by little.. I believe everyone start from n00b, but not all ended up a pro
so allow me asking a few silly n00b question,
1. I've seen many custom rom that have smaller size compare than stock rom, and thus make the performance increases.. so which app/file are safe to remove (bloatware) ? I have search the forum but didn't find the thread explaining about this..
I hope there are devs who humbly answer this question, even provide the list, I really appreciate that
2. does any app in /system/app folder has any dependency/correspondency with another file from another folder (e.g. /system/app/SamsungApp.apk with /system/framework/com.samsung.android.sec_platform_library.jar) ? does it mean if we gonna remove/replace the apk in app folder then we must also remove the file in that other folder?
3. if we gonna replace some apps (apk), does it just drag and drop or there is other thing needed to do?
pardon my silly n00b question guys, and my bad english too..I really hope there are devs who can answer my question,thanks in advance

First of all you are not a noob you are a learner and newbie..dats good u have started on your own..
Answers..
1.if you dont want odexed rom then delete odex files from system/app and they are duplicates..so delete their duplicates..
2.yes some apks are depended on frameworkres.apk for example touchwizz.apk...do delete other apps like youtube,email etc
3.if you are doin on pc copy/paste method is efficient..
I m also doin the same..m getting bootloop on my 1st testbuilt..

thank u for the answer raj
1. did u mean deodexing the rom? yes I have deodexed the rom using dsixda kitchen, so the odex files no longer exist. but I want to remove other app/file that are safe to remove, so I can increase the performance of the rom and make a free space/ smaller rom size. or so to say, I want to slim down the rom. can u tell me what app u have been removed from the stock raj?
2. that's what I think, thank u for confirming raj
so now I'm gonna have to take a look at each folder
3. ok, thank u raj. +1 for u.

Making slimmer rom means deleting extra large stuffs and unwanted junk..see u can make slim stock by deleting some apps in system/app lyk i said before youtube,email,samsung app & new twlauncher by replacing stock..then delete unwanted ringtones etc.. u r done mine rom is jsr 110mb..dats slim at initial basis..i will improve it..

Ok let me get into this straight deleting a couple of apps and slimming it down won't increase the performance..if you still want some Samsung apps and Google apps... And for performance its all about a good kernel.... Ya some apps have dependencies.. Like gtalk needs few location and network based libs and jar files to work any doubts.?? I post a reply I will be happy to help you out...

so it means to improve the performance of stock-rom based, we gotta improve the kernel, not deleting the file (and here I thought it will increase available memory/ram because some services is not there anymore :silly: ). but it nice to have cyanmobile maintainer answered this n00b question, thank u, +1 for u
I'm learning how to compile the kernel and add some features, but still it's a looong way for me to go. not kernel yet. I think I shall try with wilfred007. just replace the boot.img right? or should I extract it with dsixda's kitchen and just take the zimage?
edit : I tried replacing boot.img and flashed it.. bootlooooppp.. is it update script? but when I repacked it with dsixda it says no error found.. am I missing something here?

no need to repack unpack... just change the boot.img... as far as the kernel goes.. the less is the size of zimage the more is its performance...
in order to get a good kernel strip unncessary stuff from it.... i could provide a nice way to go about learning kernels..start with a bit of c..then read the zcop thread atleast twice(no copy pasting) understand what each code does...then look through github commits of higher devs...
and dont call yourself a noob a newbie would be better...

[Q] Incorporate Active Display in Custom roms

Hey anybody!
So i've pretty much looked all around, this stuff is scarce.. Could anybody outline the steps for adding active display to your custom rom? I'm already familiar with all the unpacking of apks and jar files, so you don't need to go that far back, just which exact files to edit and in what manner?
the "ChameleonOS" team gave much of the code needed here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697" but not much word on how to integrate it in.. I think if someone made a tutorial on this, that'd be awesome.
Thanks

It has to be intergrated while building from source.

META-INF for TWRP

Hey guys! As you may know... The latest OMNI ROM 4.4.2 by Team Canjica runs on TWRP.. and many CWM Mods and zips is not able to be flash due to some error ( idk) Hence I extract META-INF from a TWRP Zip by Tesla.. his task manager zip... which works beautifully by replacing the META-INF of the zip you want with the META-INF extracted in the download section below
Please hit the Thanks Button ! It's FREE DD
P.S. Extract the META-INF from the zip below

I think that this thread has nosense. That META-INF from Omni task manager is the same as other task managers, no changes inside except line that says for what ROM is.

I really appreciate the fact that you took notice of my humble post The root of this post was because of a mod I used.. hopefully you know about Pure Audio 2.0 Golden Edition! It uses a different META-INF which does not allow me to install it.. Although the recovery state that it is installed... the files in the /system/lib and /system/bin were not there.... and I really enjoy the fantastic sound. So I installed you task manager and it worked fine... so curiously I extracted the META_INF in hopes that it is some META-INF error and paste into the pure-audio mod! It works! :fingers-crossed:
So I spreaded this news around... I know this may be a Junior Member speaking but I really hope you would not say that this is nonsense as it really insulted me a little... If it really were nonsense I would have gladly not post it up... As you can see from my post history.. I don't post nonsensical stuff.... I don't know much about developing or building from source and you were my IDOL! But I really hope you could give me a little respect for me I do not mean any insult but hope you can continue supporting the device

If you check both updater-scripts you will see that in base both are the same. The one from here, and generic one for CWM.

Maybe it is the googlemeta from META-INF/COM/android/metadata I do not know exactly what is it but you can try flashing the Pure audio mod with the unedited meta-inf and the one extracted from the task manager zip.... The purpose was also for some senior to teach me what is the cause of it. I know I am inexperienced hence I really would hope someone could prove me wrong and let me learn

My thinking is that someone who made flashable zip forgot to write code to mount some partition that was needed and in CWM it was mounted by default and in TWRP was not. I am not 100% sure that is the case, but I am 99%.

[HELP] Settings app not showing after edition

So, I started creating a custom ROM for my device, I edited '/system/priv-app/Settings/Settings.apk' signed with ZipSigner, as i saw a tutorial, i signed with one option marked as platform, then I replace the app and rebooted my phone. When I open menu, Settings is not showing anymore. What did I do wrong?
I'm using Android 5.0.2.
I just edited some strings and an image.
I'm just 'editing' a custom ROM with custom apps.
The ROM works perfectly in my phone and I just edited some things that were already modified by the porter of the ROM.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks everybody and sorry for bad english!

What you're already edit mate?
Check again with apktool logcat. Does it true signed or get any problem when compile this apk?
