How do i get this "TV" thingy??? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

on Galaxy Nexus, when i in lock screen, if i press the power button once, then entire screen will shut off like u shutting down the "TV", what is this call? and how do i get it to put on other non-nexus phone, like GNote, SGS2?

Try looking for " CRT off " mod or a rom that supports it.

All CM9/CM7/AOKP/most others have that by default since that is default google stuff...CM9 is on most phones...i know its for the GS2 and the Note already

It's the default screen-off animation in both 2.3 and 4.0. Any ROM based on these should have it included unless there's a specific bug it creates and is removed. Many ROMs have a screen-on animation that is very similar also.

does it mean that if the phone got no Google ROM, CM9, CM7, then u cant get that "CRT off", screen off animation?

As I said, anything based on 2.3 or 4.0 should have it included because its part of AOSP. The only reason it would not be included is if it was causing problems with something else in the ROM.

Turning on animations I believe will make this happen on stock roms. Not 100% sure though. I've only been stock for 1 day when I first bought it.

The tube turning off is cool.

Yeah...unless a dev ports it.
But both your phones do have cm7 and cm9 so you can get it.

Really? Stock 4.0.4 didn't seem to have it, or at least I couldn't find it.

[Q] Screen rotates very very slow.

Hello everybody!
I bought yesterday a Galaxy Nexus. I’ve rooted, installed clockworkmod and the ROM Android Revolution HD™ 1.3.1 | High Quality & Performance | GSM.
The big problem which I found till now is:
The screen rotates very very slow. (web browser, photos gallery, pdf documents…) with everything.
Sometimes even don’t rotate. I have deactivate all screen animations and the same duration. (2 seconds or more)
My nexus s was much faster with a beta rom with android 4.
Do I have an issue? Do you have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
With stock rom is all so fast and smooth.
No problem at all.

Not sure how people are saying it's fast on stock. To me it's anything but fast... it's slow as hell.

Agreed. Sometimes I have to shake it after I turn it for it to even do anything. The accelerometer needs tweeking in the stock rom.
its very laggy .. and if that was " google choice " then i think it was a bad choice!
Can you guys quit repeating that google intentionally put a delay in it.
I noticed this as well - i'm quite aware of the difference between the screen not rotating and there being a delay.
There's something really quirky that's causing the phone to not recognize sometimes, I thought the new update fixed it but alas it didn't.

No, because it is a fact. There is a purposeful rotational delay.

So your screen doesn't accidentally rotate from holding it at a slight angle.

When it works right, after about a 2 second delay - it rotates.
But sometimes, it just doesn't work, I'll hold it for 10 seconds and it won't rotate like the phone didn't register it, so I have to turn the phone back and forth and the accelerometer seems to wake up again and works.
Does no one else get this behavior?
Im running the stock rom, no animations either and my screen rotation isnt all that speedy but i prefer it to my galaxy s which rotated at the slightest tilt of the phone. At least the proximity sensor on this phone doesnt lag like the GS did. I hated having to wait for the screen to respond before i could hang up the phone LOL.

See this is different.. I have not experienced this and had no idea you were talking about this. The delay on rotating the two seconds that you observe is intentional.. can't say not rotating at all is something I have experienced though sorry :/
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Screen rotation is VERY poor on mine. Im not talking about a "lag". Sometimes there is no rotation.
Same here, if the screen is touched it rotates and behaves normal.
Please click the star here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22561
Not noticed any issues with mine, on stock or with android revo HD 1.3.1.
Then again, it really pissed me off when my old phone always rotated with the slightest turn. Hated it. Had screen rotation turned off most the time due to it.
Only time I do like to see a landscape view is in videos, where the 'delay' is not really an issue.
So I guess I'm one of the few people who can thank google for implementing such a useful feature.
But seriously, who uses landscape often? Why?
That said, I wish the lag upon pressing the recent apps button was removed.

For anybody that uses WidgetLocker...

Are you able to power off your phone from the lockscreen? On my nexus it seems that all the buttons have been disabled.
I am on stock 4.0.1 ICS btw and I have noticed the same thing with my galaxy tab 10.1.
Not me. The option comes up, but wont accept a touch.
Is WidgetLocker updated to android 4.0 yet? I'd definitely would be using it...hmmm

ICS source code became available, when? Nov 14? Last WidgetLocker update was only Nov 18 and description makes no reference to ICS. I'd say no, it is not fully updated for compatibility with ICS yet.
I have the same results as described above by OP. That's really the only problem I have though. Otherwise it is working fine on ICS.
Widgetlocker works just fine for me, and I am in fact able to make use of the buttons from the power menu.
Stock & rooted 4.02
Yeah I can't click the pop up buttons either, can't remember ever needing to though so it doesn't bother me.

Yea it doesnt bother me much either, it was just a little inconvenience i noticed while using it. Its only an extra second to unlock the phone and then press the power button.
Just wanted to know if I was the only one.
sometimes i can, sometimes i can't, it's not consistent
(stock rom, unrooted)
Sorry to get OT, but I CANNOT get handcent to pop up messages over Widgetlocker now. It worked on Gingerbread. Any suggestions would be awesome as the dev of Widgetlocker just ignored my email.
If I could set a custom lock screen wall paper and add widgets to the stock unlock screen I would have no use for widgetlocker, but as for now...I love it. Just this one issue.
In an attempt to contribute, No, I cannot. I push "Power off" but it will not work unless I unlock and then do it. I am on stock 4.0.2.
the only thing bothering me from the current version of widgetlocker is the lock screen comes up when I am on a phone call...
i have to unlock the screen in order to end a call

Yes, and it will pop up if the phone is on and at the home screen or in an app, but it will not "Wake" widget locked or show the message over the top of it when I go to unlock it. :/

New feature in 4.0.4 - configure Power button to instantly lock or not

https://plus.google.com/110145431558529252718/posts/UAvWY5TXvqZ
This allows you to configure the power button to shut off the screen and not lock the device. Device autolocks after the lock timer setting. should help while driving. and win a few of the WP7 challenges
I think they messed up something because I'm using one of those apps to use a widget instead power button to lock device and after pressing that widget, lock screen shows again and after 5 seconds or something like that device really gets locked (although that new timeout is 0 seconds...)
Is it just me or could it be a bug?
Thanks in advance.
google changed the lock screen behaviour again.. so gotta wait for update to the app
I don't see that option...using the 4.0.4 ota, could it be different than the factory images?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
strange but i'm running stock official 4.0.4 and i don't have this feature
Yeah, I'm running the CM9 3/29 nightly (based off 4.0.4) and I'm not seeing this either.

I really doubt that CM9 has moved to 4.0.4 in 24 hours.
Also..this feature does not show itself on slide unlock.

4.0.4 was merged in yesterday: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,14096

Edit: Editing due to your edit
Its likely a lot of it is 4.0.4. I just am not convinced all of it is. CM does what we do; they pull directly from AOSP and then their repos. Anything not in their repos would be updated to 4.0.4, until they do it themselves.
Using GummyNex 9.5 (test build) and it's in there. VERY COOL!!!
You need the new build of 4.0.4 which was released yesterday (IMM76D). and yes it does not work for slide unlock - only for password/pattern.

Well, it turns out it is in there, I just had slide unlock enabled. Changed it to pattern and it magically appeared (as per madmak's post).
This perfects Android for me. I am actually the one who added this option to CM7.
when you set up the security lock you will see it in there
CM already had/has a similar feature, it's under security->lockscreen->delay_screen_lock

Tv off effect

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?
??
Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:

my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=
The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.

Lock screen app problem

So I downloaded a lock screen app to double tap my screen to put the phone to sleep. It puts the phone to sleep for a sec and then the phone wakes back up.
Is there a setting I need to change?? I've tried a few and they all act the same.

yea like I said those .apks have been flaky on newer Android systems.
I personally stopped using them and have been finding alternate methods,
such as this for Samsung.
With time I will be trying to see if this lock button works on HTC as it does Samsung seen here (the lock button) - presss to act as power button, long press to act as power button long press.
Very cool actually, and you get used to pulling down the status bar to turn phone off.

Works really well and best part it's quite simple to add.
Will be testing today to see if it works.
If so, you can send me your SystemUI.apk and I'll hook you up with it,
unless you use my ROM in which case I'll have a patch made for it as it'll be included into the next release.
