I was messing around with my screens density earlier when I found that on Cyanogenmod 7.1 if your screen density is 100 (Or below?), the Screen on/off animation actually shows. However, you cannot access ANY of your settings. Whatever app you try, the settings will force close.
So. Just wondered, is there a workaround for this? (Or a fix for 7.1?) Because the TV off and On style is actually amazing.
The on/off animation is really weird in CM7 for our wildfires.
For me it seems to sometimes play and then other times it never shows.
I have never played around with the screen density to see how it affects the animation but I assume there is some other factor that is changing whether it is seen or not.
I noticed that one day I was charging my phone and the off animation worked (I didn't have the on animation set to play so that wasn't a factor) and then when I turned the charger off it stopped doing it. But now when I charge it it doesn't show the animation...
Well, I know for a fact it is there.
There are several things backing it up.
1) When you lock the phone, the soft key lights don't dim until the animation would have finished.
2) The lockscreen does not show straight away. Try it, lock the phone then QUICKLY unlock it, the unlock screen wouldn't have appeared straight away because the phone is still doing the animation...
I just wish there was a way to trick it without messing up the phones settings...
Also. Another strange thing. It only seemed to switch on the animation on/off when I used an app to modify the density. When I tried manually modifying it, I couldn't access settings still, nor would the animations show...

What's up there everybody!
I love scaling all Android's animations in Developers Options to 2x, as I found 1x simply too fast and not as eye catching as 2x. However there is a strange bug that happens between animations (it also happens if they are set at 0.5x, 1x no matter).
Suppose you are in the home screen and press Chrome. You realize "Oh noes, I wanted to tap Messages". You click the home button to get back while the animation is playing. What happens? An ugly flashing black screen is displayed, as the result of a forced animation end, and chrome fades out normally after that. I don't know if I described it properly.
So, in short: Animation starts but doesn't finish, you stop it ---> Instant flashing black screen, window gets instantly maxed out, black screen again ---> window fades out normally.
It happens whenever you interrupt an animation by pressing the home button. It is pretty ugly on 2x since animations last a little longer. In 1x you hardly notice it, only if you are pretty fast, even harder to notice in 0.5x of course, since the animation becomes shorter. No need to say with no animation this ugly crap doesn't happen.
It also happens if I navigate through settings too fast, it is INCREDIBLY ugly, and many people stare at the screen like it is broken when this happens, showing me that their Iphones don't do this LOL. If anyone could suggest me a way to record the screen (as I don't own any other phone/camera right now) to better explain the problem in case it is not clear enough, I will be glad to.
Is there any way to fix this?
My situation is:
Stock Samsung Rom 4.1.2 latest ITA
Neak Kernel 1.8 Undervolted etc...
Rooted of course
TWRP
To be fair, I didn't pay attention to it, neither in CM10.1 neither in any other custom roms I tried, so I can't say whether it is TouchWizz's bug or Android's bug
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? =(
2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697
I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
Alright, so I was setting up my ls990 and during the setup of everything (apps/widgets/screens/you know) I managed, or perhaps my phone managed, to simply stop displaying lock screen shortcuts. I know what you may be thinking, no, there are no passwords, knock codes, pins, locks, mods, extras, or anything that *could* cause this.
It's a simple swipe to unlock, that's it, there are shortcuts 'set' in the lock screen settings as you'd expect, but no matter what fiddling, swiping, or press-and-holding I try will bring them back. Every last combination of settings and lock screen fidgeting and 'oops I deleted the default circle lock screen widget thingy but found out how to bring it back and also learned how to set the default lock screen page that will show when I turn the screen on'-ing will make them show again... So after on and off and mostly on playing around with it over the last 10 hours or so, and seeing how it is now 5 am where I live, and certainly the tunnel vision has set in or I'm just plain ol' dumb and/or incapable of swiping my own buttons, I'd figure that somewhere in the population of LG g3 owning & xda browsing intelligental(wo)mens there could be somebody to set my plain ol' dumb button pushing straight.
Any ideas?
Posting on the chrome browser from my nifty ls990 via my Wi-Fi connection, tanks.
Well anything? Need smart people please, I'll consider this a bump.
Do you see the Emergency Call box at the bottom? I just had that same issue, and it appeared to be triggered by a lack of signal or going into roaming mode. Setting the device into Airplane Mode brought the shortcuts back for me. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Set the device into Airplane Mode (I used the shortcut from the notification shade).
2. Lock the device.
3. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen. Verified shortcuts were there.
4. Shut off Airplane Mode (once again, used shortcut).
Let me know if that works...
I have no idea what I would have done to cause this but I seem to have lost the option to customize my lock screen shortcuts from the lock screen settings menu. I know I had the option even earlier today but now it's just gone. I've been running SkyDragon 0.0.5 for weeks now and I can't think of anything else I would've changed that would have made the option disappear. I should probably also mention that I'm running Xposed with the lock screen disabler module but I've also been running that for quite a while. I can still see the lock screen shortcuts that I had previously set up, but now I can't change them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
Most animations on the phone seem to almost happen instantly. The YouTube loading dots spin stupidly fast, the home buttons animation happens instantly, and when I slide apps off in the app drawer, they just disappear without sliding away. The animation speed in Dev options is set to 1, and changing it to .5 doesn't seem to change it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change them to 2 if you want slower animation speed
Turn them off, that is what I do.
