Just curious but why do non of the ROMs beside CM7 come with CRT on animation? They only come with the CRT OFF animation.
I haven't used any of the stock-based GB ROMs, but I read somewhere that TouchWiz 3.2 changed up some of the stock GB animations, namely A) the overscroll is blue instead of orange, and B) there is no "CRT On" animation. The stock-based ROMs inherit the TouchWiz 3.2 behavior.
CM7 is based on pure AOSP, with very little TouchWiz 3.2 (according to jt1134 they have to use some TouchWiz), thus it inherits the original GB animation behavior, i.e., A) overscroll is orange, and B) optional "CRT On/Off" animations.
Is there somewhere you have to enable screen off animations?

I loved THE CRT animation on my evo.

Lack of demand?
I had always presumed that there simply was no big demand for CRT-on animations. I used a ROM with it available but chose to turn it off (naturally, I kept the CRT-off on though!).
Cool animations are spiff for when your putting your device away, but when I want to pop into my Epic and check traffic.com for traffic conditions at the last second [at already sluggish data speeds] before whizzing by an alternate highway route, I'm not likely to be quite as appreciative of a short anim. sequence getting in the way as I am when I don't have any immediate need for the device.
I think people generally want to be able it get into their phones as fast as possible.

I am just curious, will the screen on/ off animation from Gingerbread ever be compatible with Spare Part's window/ transition animation speed options, apart from the "normal" setting?
I'm running cm7 and the answer is yes and thank you it looks much better on very slow
What is it?
I'm running Starburst ROM, and in the development page they are talking about overscroll. I'm running the latest v1.5 and have some options for overscroll such as glow and bounce. Where can I see this?
Also, for anyone familiar with the ROM, why are there 2 battery style options in menu......they both do the same thing from what I saw.
Thanks
When you scroll too far on most items, it'll glow. It gives you options to change the effect, but currently they don't do anything on Starburst 1.5

like in a menu? if I scroll too far doesn't it just stop? why would I want it to glow?
Its a feature in AOSP gingerbread like the tv off CRT animation that if you ever ran cm7, you are used to and want on your phone. Its just a tiny feature that if you pull a menu too far, a pretty little colored backlight appears to let you know that you hit the limit. Just youtube it to see what we are talking about. God I miss AOSP.

thanks man. I'm not familiar with it, so it doesn't really bother me that much. I thought I was missing out on something amazing lol
I'm currently running v1.5 and overscroll is working. When I get to the limits of a page it will glow orange. As for the battery, it just gives you a couple options depending on what your preference is.

Personally, I've always loved the bounce effect. It feels more natural to me. I don't suppose any devs are interested in modding it back into the 2.3.5+ framework?
Looks like some people are using parts of the 2.3.4 framework to get it back on the original GS2, but of course you lose any changes made to the framework in subsequent updates.
Also, is the horrible overscroll in the browser driving anyone else nuts? It's like Samsung's version instead of the Android version and it's awful. It even gets stuck and 'drifts' if you scroll diagonally and hit an edge. Gonna have to use a different browser for now.
I'm using it on cm7 you should flash it only thing not working is 4g and bluetooth.

Ha e you tried UOT kitchen and their tweaks for overscroll

Woot, Will of fire that should be perfect. I didn't realize how close CM7 was to working. I can hold out until GPS and Bluetooth are working as I use both quite a bit. I've been planning on running CM when comes out anyway.
playya, I checked UOT Kitchen before but I only saw options under Popup to change the color or disable the glow. Does disabling glow enable bounce or am I overlooking the bounce options?
i would love to get the bounce back too, the overscroll color made me think there was something wrong with my phone, lol
Hi,
I have Calkulin's E4GT 2.8.1 with Venum Minimal Black & White Theme.
The Minimal Theme came in 2 versions, Regular and with 13 lockscreen mods.
I tried the 13 lockscreen mods version but like the Regular one better.
The only problem is that with the Regular version, I only get CRT animation for turning the screen off. I used to get CRT animation for both turning the screen on and off with the 13 lockscreen mod version.
I tried installing Calkulin's CRT_on.zip but it only works for turning the screen off.
Anybody have any idea how I could keep the regular version theme and get the CRT animation for turning the screen ON as well?
My set up is perfect otherwise. It just sucks that I have to choose between having the Minimal Black & White "Regular" version and having CRT animation for turning the screen on as well.

Hey jackka, I am having the exact same issue. I have tried flashing the CRT_on.zip and still nope, no CRT on. The only thing it does after the flash is change my battery icon back to green. Wonder whats going on as it seems to work fine for everyone else.
I was hoping there was a mod I could flash on for CRT on and off animation.
But it seems there's only one for CRT off animation and for CRT on animation, you just have to hope the theme or ROM comes with it.
I'm assuming what Calkulin meant by CRT_ON is that it turns ON the "CRT OFF animation." lol
Can't have everything, I guess...
I'll take a look at the zip later to see if I can figure something out

Is there any way to disable the CRT screen off animations (and only those animations) in the new ICS roms? In particular I'd like to do it on swiperrat's MIUI ICS ROM. I'd post my question in that thread, but I don't have enough posts to do so.
They say that the ICS version doesn't have the modification options that the GB version has, so as far as i know, no. But a update soon, hopefully, will change that.
