I'm running cm7.2 and am trying to get a custom shutdown animation.
I've successfully installed a splash screen and boot animation, but can't figure out for the life of me how to get a shutdown animation. Right now all it shows is a spinner with the text "Rebooting..."
I've tried the method described here:
Boot/Down Animations
but with no luck.
I've also tried putting the png's into /system/media/video/shutdown but that didn't work either.
Anyone have success with this? With my old Fascinate I got it working with cm7. Is it not possible? Thanks!
I believe u put the downanimation.zip in /system/customize/resources . At least I know that's what I do on skyraider Zeus 1.3. Maybe somebody else can confirm this.

Ok. I have never ran aosp roms very long. Just didn't care for them very much aesthetically.

Compared to CM7, MIUI is very pleasing to the eye. I would give that a try too.

So I just came back to the g2 after leaving the g2x. I'm rooted any running CM 7.1. I'm looking for a sense rom with little problems. I don't care if its froyo or gingerbread I just want something that doesn't have the led, mms or missing sms problems. What are your suggestions? Thanks

Virtuous Unity has no CRT animation so no LED problems.

it does have sms problems though, this one is going to be your best bet VIRTUOUS SENSE
I have it downloaded but unsure about trying just yet? Have you ran this rom and how did u like it?

I would suggest Virtuous 1.0.2. It is a Froyo Sense 2.1 ROM that is very stable. The only issue with it is when you use one of the non-standard kernels there are screen-wake issues. This is solved by using SetCPU or CPUTuner and setting a broader range of frequencies in the screen off profile.
I tried virtuous 1.0.2 and it was extremely laggy. I took a while to scroll from screen to screen and open the app drawer. I liked the way insert coin ran but couldn't get past the led problem.

Did you use CWM or Rom Manager to flast 1.0.2? RM is not a good way to flash roms as it can be alittle tempermental.
Also, when you flash, reboot before you do any configurations. 1.0.2 has scripts that run on first boot which may give you a false first impression.

I'm planning to install TrueLeftys gingerbread rom but I love the CRT screen off animation and the AOSP lockscreen, can someone help me find flashable zips of those? Thanks
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
If you rename the lockscreen.apk to lockscreen.apk.bak and reboot you should have AOSP lockscreen. That's how I did it on my Incredible one.
I'm sure if you email a dev they can make you a flashable.zip to enable screen on/off.
Oh cool, I'll try emailing a dev, also can I rename for the AOSP lockscreen using my phone?

crt off is a heavy mod in services (unlike 1 change in aosp/blur/tw/etc)
i think some of the sense 3 roms have it built in, but if you are running stock those service.jars may not work for you as the sense 3 roms are system ports of other phones

Renaming the HTC lockscreen should default to AOSP.
I wonder why HTC decided to remove the CRT animation. IMO its the coolest thing in GB. Especially with Sense, where the notification bar is the same as Froyo.

So is there no way to add the CRT animation to a rooted sense rom? I have to run gingersense, as the current CM7 builds have too many audio issues. I'm on call a lot and not being able to hear people or use a headset is a crippling problem. I'd love to have that screen animation back, though.
Hey,
Does re-naming that file work? I would love to get the CRT animation for the stock rom.

Also, how would I find that file. Thanks.

Use rom toolbox to change your boot ani. And you can buy widgetlocker to get some awesome lockscreeens. There

Thanks guys I figured out how to change the boot animation. The lock screens I will just wait for.
bigtex06 - Can you post a link to the boot animation approach you used?
Also there us a cool app called magiclocker. It allows you to install different lockscreens. Like ads with themes. I'm using and I have the sense 3.0 lock screen. They have a bunch if different ones.

Hi everyone ,
I was wondering if it is possible to get the Sense 2.1-3.5-like power down animation on CM? It looks awesome. If you can, how can I get it?

Hi mate, I've been looking in to this as well.
I've been thinking we could look at other similar devices that do have a working downanimation and try to port it from that.
I've tried a few different phones that use CM7 and can't seem to get it to run with anything I've done.

Yay! I found someone who replied
Have you tried looking in /system/customize/resource? On HTC Sense 2.1 it was somewhere there.
regards.
I have, I have also looked in /data/media as is where it is on some CM ROMs apparently..
The main problem I seem to be having is the exact typing for the code and how to replace the current power down toast (says "powering off" with a circular spinning icon) with a down animation.

You can install any boot animation with a 800*480 resolution with any ROM.
You just have to know that not every ROMs saves the bootanimation.zip in the same folder. So just check the one used by the ROM you want to install it onto.
Actually you can flash boot animations with different resolutions, or at least, higher resolutions.
They'll just look horrific due to down-sampling.

I've been wondering the same thing as the OP, i want to get the boot animation from Virtuous G-lite onto G2 Slim but i'm not quite sure what to do. Could anyone help me out?
Get the rom.zip's, open them up.
bootanimation.zip is normally found in /system/media/ (for aosp, can't quite remember for sense)
swap it.
