I have recently updated my R800i to version 4.0.2.A.0.42 and I was disappointed to see the CRT screen lock animation replaced by a boring fade animation.
So, I ventured on a quest to get it back without downgrading if that's possible. The animation is probably in framework-res.apk, but I don't know anything more than that.
There is an animation, but the wrong one. config_animateScreenLights is false.
Another possible solution might be to upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.58, because they might have put the animation back since while googling for a solution I only saw more people whining and maybe SE noticed them.
Thanks in advance.

Sad news, i need the system dump which had the CRT Animation - Build 3.0.1.A.145 but theres no system dump on the web of that build, im just waiting for someone to donate it to me, or an older version of the dump that had the CRT Animation so i could port it... i tried using the arc/neo dump but because of screen resolutions/size it wouldnt work & all i ended up with was no screenlock animation

Anyway for us to get the GB screen off/on animation. Maybe ported to rmk's gb. Or similar. rom? I know its been asked in themes and apps but was never answered. Thanks in advance...
I have been trying all day and still not able to get the downanimation to work.

I see your referring to the screen turning off and not the shutdown animation. my bad lol.

its generally just one edit in bools.xml in the framework-res (at least it is on other phones)
Yea this is really unfortunately HTC left off the Gingerbread lock screen animation. It's my favorite thing about Gingerbread besides the performance tweaks (smooth scrolling).
What they SHOULD have done under "Skins" is have a pure Gingerbread skin that includes this animation, that would have been excellent.
There doesn't seem to be any known way to enable this either

I've used Froyo on my old phone because it never got Gingerbread, my Play has 2.3.3 and I just realized that it doesn't do that cool CRT screen-off animation. As a matter of fact, it also didn't come with Sony's Xperia launcher, I know that you can download it from here, but it has a lot of bugs. Is that all on the 2.3.4 update that (hopefully) will be available on the Verizon Play? Did I miss something, or did the Xperia Play never come with what I was expecting from an Xperia phone?
Verizon ripped us off, we just have stock android. But you can download the Sony Ericsson launcher and other things from here.
Note: Some items require root. Not all.
...Why Verizon...? Okay, I guess that'll do, I also have root. Thanks.
EDIT: I thought the CRT Screen-off effect was integrated into the Gingerbread firmware, I wonder why it won't happen on the play, it has to be in the source somewhere if that's true. I have all animations set to on.

The CRT animation is supposed to be built into Gingerbread. They must have removed it somehow. Though, from 2.3.4 SonyEricsson has replaced the CRT animation with one of their own. The display kind of quickly fades out into black from corners to middle. Soft and sweet looking in my opinion. I have grown very tired of the CRT animation as of late so I was glad that SE had made something of their own.
Heh, I accidently thanked you for your post when quoting.

I find this very funny, Everyone complains about skins and crap on their android phone, look at motoblur, sense, touchwiz. Everyone wants pure vanilla android.
They give you pure vanilla android, you complain, you want the oem launcher.
This is pathetic and stupid.

There is a tutorial on it in the arc section, the animation is there, it has just been disabled in one of tge .xml files.

I found that and just tried it, it went great until every emulator went into a force close when I tried to change their settings, I also couldn't sync my google account, so I had to go back to my unmodified framework-res.apk.
I wonder if there's a way to replace the sony screen off animation with the crt version. I prefer the crt. I'd also be interested in the possibility of people creating custom screen on/off animations, since Sony was able to do it

The white Google logo at the beginning when you turn the phone on.
All the other images I found are not of high enough quality.
This?
Yes. But the original one from the phone.
What's different about it?
The logo is bigger, and the resolution is 768x1280.
Is there anyway to extract the original one from the phone? I need it to be exact.
I don't think you wanna mess around with this since the so called boot splash is built in to the kernel. If you know this stuff, change it in your kernel at the high risk of a brick and if you're a noob like me, just let it be.

So by replacing this image with the same file name out will boot the new image?
Does file size matter?
Yes, I just want to make it part of my boot animation. I need the actual image so I can mess around with it and add new things to it.

You should also find out if the size of the image makes a difference with noting or is updates
I tried other images I found on Google Images but the resolution are too small.
I enlarged and expanded to size but it makes the Google Logo blurry and the detail deteriorates extremely.
Is there a way I can extract the original image?
Please.
Again.
I don't understand... Why don't you just get the highest res Google logo you can find on Google images and put it against a 768x1280 background?

I agree with another poster here. Just download a high res google logo and slap it onto a background the size you need. Gimp is free and can do just this.
Oh, also found this (just happened to be browsing in the boot animations thread. I haven't seen the animation itself, but it's the logo from the splash screen with 2 gears under it. I'm sure with a small amount of editing, you can get this to do what you want.

I don't see what the big deal is. He asked for an image and you guys all get into his business as,img what it's for. It doesn't matter, he just asked for the image.. you are the one making this complicated.
Now, OP you can probably find an image on google images or try to figure out how to extract it rom the splash image
Ok guys,
Im going to post this in every Note 2 variant forum until I can figure this out.. I mmanaged to get a working transparent status/systembar on my note 2 on tablet UI.. the only problem being that my phone totally locked up and being the DUMB a$$ that I am I did create a backup.. reflashed a rom and thought I could recreate it.. I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

well, i have started to mod my phone with tablet ui for more than a year but still yet to release anything athough i am using it on daily basis from note -> s3 -> note2 now. however, since the updates were rolled out quite frequently in the last year, i had to switch to new firmwares and redo/rewrite the changes accordingly because there were quite a lot of fundamental changes recently. this process is time consuming especially i employed some parts of firmwares from other devices as well as the custom features i added. so, i am not sure when i can release something since i modded the kernel and the rom as well in my own way which compromises the usual practice in terms of structure and so forth. that means i have to make sure it is compatible with other roms first, and then i must ensure i have time to solve and fix users problems
I figured out the sound part (PowerOn and PowerOff.ogg) now i need to know how to change the bootssamsung, bootsamsungloop, and shutdown and convert it somehow to a boot animation of my choice, im currently working with Samsung Theme Designer but still trying to figure it out, i heard you can make the qmg files in it for the boot animation if anyone can help me out or know another way or know a really good thread with this it would be greatly appreciated ty.:good:
(Also Android Kitchen im using on Ubuntu too and made my first Rom wondering how to use that to do extra things like making another boot animation of my choice)

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?
