[Q] Any way to get rid of the CRT-Animation? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well as the title says..
I detest the CRT Animation for Gingerbread and I want to get rid of it.. In fact delete it from my life forever.
I know you can go to "Settings > Display > Animation > No animations" but that's not the point.. Because I want some of the animations, such as the transition between apps (the way it jumps out at you, or falls away from you) but you can only have that when "All animations" is selected, which I don't want all animations, quite obviously!
If there's anyone out there who knows how to get rid of this, I'll be much appreciative.
Thanks,
Dan

You should flash the last version of your rom, in settings you can select and unselect CRT animations
Edit : I didn't know that you are on Oxygen Rom 2.1.3, I didn't use this rom, I can't help you

What do you mean by "last"? As in, the latest version.. Or the one before 2.1.3?
I've looked in everywhere on the phone, yet I can not find it.

Disable all window animations in the display settings.

Use a 2.3.3 Sense ROM and you can turn it on or off independently of the other animations

I'm trying to do the opposite: after flashing an UOT mod, the CRT TV animation is gone! How do I get it back?? (LeeDroid 3.0.7)

@threadstarter
try it with "spareparts"
i heard, if you change some animation-settings there, crt will stop
maybe its worth a quick try

Jep, if you install SpareParts from market and set 'Windows animations' to 'Fast' it stops showing..

[Q] Synergy right rosie button...

Now that the actual RC is out on synergy...I'll ask again, is there any way to have the right rosie button do the default Personalize action? rather than what Rosie Settings tells it to do? any help appreciated. Thanks.
i'm not seeing that one in the rosie options, if you go to settings and go to rosie settings you can see what you can change it to.
I know that much...sorry I wasn't completely clear, I know you can change the settings, but I'm not wanting to set it to an app, I'm wanting to know if I can have the button do what it's meant to do...as in go to the personalize menu.
Sorry that I was unclear.
no i got your post, was just saying that i dont see any way to set it to that(personalize menu). maybe ask myn in the synergy thread to see if he can add as a mod. sorry couldnt be more help
good question, i was wondering the same thing.
Soon as I get a chance I will redo Rosie to allow personalize screen. Thing is...it is either Rosie settings or personalize. You can't have both as of now.
Please pm me about this request so I don't forget.

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

But in BCM I have an option in settings to turn it off, so how can I do so in Sandvold`s rom ?
go to settings --> developer settings (2nd option from the bottom) --> and then scroll down to the bottom again. above the section "apps", there are two options:
(freely translated as scale for window animation and scale for interface/crossing animation.
set both of them to "animation off".
then there will be no delay when you turn your screen off and on.

So there`s no way to turn off only that single animation?
it's not like there won't be any animations anymore... it mostly applies to the screen on/off animation.
don't know what else is affected by it, but i like it that way.
just try for yourself and see how you like it.

[Q] How do we bring back the lollipop animations?

So it seems HTC has decided to remove all Lollipop animations from this phone. Even with the new play store update released today, none of the animations work. It just "appears".
Is there any way to bring these back? Even Samsung leaves them alone.
Samsung's animations are not lollipop animations, they are lollipop like, but not lollipop. You could use a launcher like Nova and turn on lollipop slide up animations.

No, I meant that samsung didn't remove any animations. HTC actually went out of their way to remove all the animations even in apps like the play store.
I use apex, so I have animations on the home screen, but not anywhere else.

I keep trying to tell people this. HTC has made their animations so fast that, at times, the phone seems choppy and less smooth than other lollipop phones.
Animations are on, just really quick.
I can only suggest slowing them down in the settings.
Settings > Developer Options > Advanced
Then change the speed to 0.5x =)
Developer Options is enabled by pressing build number multiple times.
About > Software Information > More
Hopefully that helps

You do realize that animations just slow the interface down, yes?

By 0.5 seconds? Yeah, I'm okay with that at the expense of fluidity. I hate things just appearing.

0.5x makes it faster, but I get your point. It still doesn't make a difference sadly.

[SOLVED] System UI Tuner doesn't show up in Android M

Just flashed Android M final version from factory image, try the method (long tap on Settings gear) for System UI Tuner, but nothing happens...
Any idea?
It took me several tries to get it to work. I finally went to settings to see if I missed the message, but I didn't. Once I did it once from the settings screen it worked.

Probably the animation is disabled in developer option. Enable it and reboot.

Yes, i disabled the animation...i hope that's the reason...i am not have the tab with me right now, so can't try immediately.
Thanks!
Google is hiding everything from users as usual.
System UI tuner is nowhere to be found on Nexus 7 by default even under developer options. It just doesnt exist!
In order to enable System UI tuner on your Nexus 7 in the first place you have to long tap settings icon and then you get message "congratulations, system UI tuner has been enabled"
Enjoy!
BTW, there is no vertical app drawer by default on Nexus 7 either! You have to download "Google Now Launcher" app from Google Play/ Carefully read notifications once you open this app, it is asking if you want to transfer all icons on your current homescreen to new one or start from scratch

the animation was the trick...or the bug?
Anyway, it's working now.
I am unable to get this to activate. I went under develop options to check the animation settings. All I see is: window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale. All 3 are at 1x. Any thoughts?
im using a note 3 running resurrection remix android 6.0.1 and i am also unable to enable system ui tuner. Developer options is turned on, animations are turned on as well, but the gear will not spin and i cannot get the toast message no matter how many times i try to press and hold the button. Please help.
my t-mobile galaxy note 5 just updated to Marshmallow, and i am not able to enable the system ui tuner. any help ?

let me know if you get any answers.
I have the same problem. Doesn't work.
With Cyanogenmod 12.1 (latest smapshot) my problem is the same. The cog keeps spinning around and stops when I don't touch it anymore. Is it possible to edit some config file to activate the System UI Tuner? Or isn't there any Sytem UI Tuner in the Cyanogenmod releases at all?
Heinz
^It does the same in CM13 on my i777. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything because those settings are already available in CM.
sorry, wrong phone
How is this SOLVED? I am having the same problem on a non rooted Samsung galaxy s5. And this did not explain why it is not working or how to get to the system ui tuner. I've tried everything, but the gear doesn't spin at all. And in all the pics I've seen, none of them have hardware buttons like the galaxies do, they've always been the buttons on the screen, the back button, the home button, and the menu button.
I am using asus zenphone 2 laser 5.5.....
I can't enable the system ui tunner...
I tried all the way what are clearly shown above.
Any one help me

Touchwiz removed the settings with one of its updates. There is no current access to the System UI.
Recommend removing the SOLVED part of the title, so as to not confuse anyone searching for solutions.

Unfortunately it may not be a universal fix. Decided to share just in case it might work for anyone else
