Neat!!! I looked over the internet and found a lot of button combination like home+back+volume up buttons but none of them worked. Thanks! (deletes screen shot app)
Question: why is it that every time I take screenshot of a video, nothing appears?

I have no idea, maybe you can't do it while watching a video.

Annoying "boot sound" turn it off!! BOOT ANIMATIONS FOUND HERE!

HAVE TO BE ROOTED. IF the power on sound is annoying to you as to me I changed it off...I will provide a screenshot I used root explorer to rename the file and put a "y" at the end of the file....and the touch sound is little annoying hearing raindrops everywhere so i did the same method. .....
TO change these as something you wish copy a sound over change permissions and rename to what it once was...ONCE YOUR DONE REBOOT;;;
SCREENSHOT shows where files are located for your convenience. ...hope this helps :thumbup:

You don't have to change the touch sound, as there is already an option in settings to disable it.

Why is it when someone post useful info that people can use someone comes and tells people not to do what was told or shown. I bet later somewhere we are gonna see you ask about sounds files and wish gave you insight on how to change sound files and where they are . Just learn and stop always commenting against what contributors say.

works like a charm thanks!

I'm not sure how you got that from my post. I was replying in regards to "the touch sound is little annoying hearing raindrops everywhere so i did the same method." I assumed that he didn't realize that the option to turn it off was there. What was wrong with saying that this step is not necessary? I was not being confrontational.

I had them and they were nice but was off center a little so I never released it. Didn't want nit pickers lol. I owe ya one.

I was poking around in my res folders, but realized I don't have a lockscreen button. Maybe somebody will come up with an alternative to the waves thingy.

How would I go about changing the animation? I don't like it. Especially att's. I tried running the boot animation program that comes up on google play. It says I need busy box. I downloaded that, but not sure what to do.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.

I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?

Lol

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.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

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.

who messed up with the smiley configuration?

I´m wondering who set the combination of ":" and "D" to the Picture of Ultimated HD Mod 2.5?
instead of having 3 laughing smiles, I get three times this picture of the mod...
this is pretty unfair towards devs in my opinion, as by setting it to this, in every thread there will be Advertising for Xperia Ultimate HD Mod
Example:
I wrote only : D
while it seems I´m advertsing for the mod
which I´m not doing, as I don´t like it much.
any fix to happen in future about this?

Haven't tried yet but I would like to ask you one thing.
You tried to make animation from video? (let's say YouTube video)
Because if I make animation from rendered video, I always get white flashes between loops.
But if I make my one pictures, from PhotoShop (video which I render to png's, not to video format) - it's o.k.
It's soooo frustrating, can't find any solution.
I saw few posts related to this problem (I'm not the only one) but no answer.
One guy suggested that I should try to set FPS to lower value - but that doesn't help.
I have few animations and I find a way to include sound in it but they all flash white so it's useless....
Tnx mate, I'll try animation

U should keep on trying bro
i used Sony vegas, for converting and rendering. and boot animation factory for making the zip file.
yeah i used a video file. It took me some hours ( half day) to make this work. i got many errors while making this one.
i got white flashed & some times no boot animation just black screen.
i failed in adding sound, i have to learn more. and there are few steps that has to be done correctly, when converting a video to boot animation and to play sound while boot.
now i know to do that , this boot animation is the result.
i intend to learn from someone, if they have helping mentality.
btw fps settings changes the speed in which the animation runs. depending on the animation we can increase the fps.
in this im using 20. if u use 30 the animation will be faster. thats what i understood from researching. correct me if im wrong.
next is adding sound and text animations on video etc, thats what im thinking to do next.

Have rain sounds?
Edit : tried it,white screen appears more than 3x while playing the animation...

XS, this is tablet.
For sound you just have to rename mp3 to bootanim.mp3 and put it in a root of bootanimation.zip (and remember to set compression method to storage)
You are right for FPS, that's, of course, how you speed up animation.
Check my animation, I made a few.
