[Q] Lock animation - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

randomly my phone stopped doing the lock animation. you know the one that looks like a tv turning off, idk what file is responible for this but if anyone can point me in the right directory that would be very helpful
thank you
VZW galaxy nexus
Vicious jelly bean
(the animation worked on jelly bean, just stopped randomly)

I would be willing to bet your window animations are turned to the fast setting. Turn them back to normal speed and you should get it back. This can be done if you have the spare parts app or some roms have it cooked in. Also check under developer settings and make sure Window animations are at 1x speed. That should fix you up. You can set transition animations as fast as you want but Window animations have to be normal (1x) or slower to retain the crt off (screen off) animation

Somehow lost my keyboard haptics and CRT screen-off effect

I think these issues started after I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, though I can't remember.
I originally turned off haptic keyboard feedback but then decided to try again the other day. It doesn't matter what the setting is in keyboard options, there is no haptics. I can still feel the phone vibrate when I unlock it or get a message though.
And I'm not sure how I lost the CRT screen-off animation. Any ideas on how I can get it back?

For the screen off animation, go to Developer options in Settings and set the Windows animation scale to "Animation scale 1x". See if that helps.
same here except I'm not rooted or anything

Great, thanks. I was messing around in Dev options, thought I had reversed everything though.
Still don't have any keyboard haptics though, any ideas?

Wierd CRT sreen display.

Running Calk's E4GT v.3.0 and Overstew's ICS theme v2.5. When turning on/off screen crt animation gets all jumbled up, like thick white pixalated bands, if I reboot its ok for a while, then it comes back after a while.
Anyone notice this?

I noticed it does it for me too. Seems to start after restoring a nandroid backup. Looking for the zip to try and reflash it.
*Update*
It stops doing it after you reboot phone, it comes back after a while, after using phone for a while. No biggie though.

Yup. Same here.

Happens to me on EVERY TW ROM. The ICS AOSP ROMs seem to not have that problem though

It's an ICS related issue, so ROMs based off the leaks will most likely have it.
This is a known issue. I believe people call it "fuzzy" CRT screen off. Happens with Calkulins, Blazer Rom, and I assume the rest of the TouchWiz based lot. However on AOSP Roms (Miui, CyanogenMod, Codename, AOKP), both ginger bread and ICS, it works fine. There is no solution. Besides rebooting.
#### update ####
After several days of the fuzzy crt screen and rebooting it seems to have stop doing it. Have not noticed it over past several days, I would say that all is well..

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with missing lib files since our phone didn't have crt off animation in the first place. If you find the lib files for the fancy screen rotation animation it will fix the white but put the phone upside down as you press the power button.
I have an issue where the screen flashes after the crt animation. It's not weird looking, just a split second of what ever I was looking at. I've only noticed it when I use the power button to turn the screen off. I'm on blend 4.0.
Also, my wife has the same issue on blend 2.6.2, one of my friends has this on stock, and said his girlfriend has it on stock, too.
edit:They are using go locker, no animation, but still get a screen flash.
Not at all an issue I'm worried about. It seems like the animation isn't long enough, like the phone doesn't make it to sleep before the animation is over. No educated idea though, just a theory.

I thought it happened when you did a screen capture but stops after a reboot.

So I figured out what causes the app drawer lag and FPS drops when entering & exiting

So I figured out what causes the app drawer lag and FPS drops when entering & exiting
Most of you probably won't notice it, but when pressing the app drawer, the frames kinda of drop and you can see it stutter, regardless of what launcher you're using.
The thing that causes the lag is the button glow animation on the navigation bar. Try for yourselves. If you have AOKP just go to rom control->navigation bar->button glow animation and set it to off or super quick. Play around with it and jump back to the navigation bar settings and set it to normal to see the difference. You want it at off for best performance. Now there is no lag or FPS drops when entering and exiting the app drawer.

This is an already discovered fix for the UI lag. Seems ICS struggles when layers are drawn on the UI. A good example would be when a toast notification is displayed, try navigating around using the phone and it will lag until the notification closes.
Personally I just set the glow to off as even with super quick it can still lag.

I need to find where to tweak this in stock rom.

Give or take (in case my code slightly differs from stock).
Try to figure out why GNex is slower in landscape than portrait while you're at it. It's very frustrating in ICS based launchers and Google chrome.

I just set the button glow animation to off. I actually prefer it set that way. So Win/Win!
For me, turning button glow animation off has no effect, even after a reboot. What I mean is, the glow animation is still there.
I've also noticed the lag/stutter when showing screen previews with the home button. However, I don't get any lag/stutter if I initiate screen previews with a gesture or other methods, only the home button.
Is this fix already included in any ROMs?
That's not a lag. Ever hear of animation? It takes a sec or 2 to complete. Is intended that way.

It's a juddering of the normal animation. It's definitely a lag. Try not to be rude

android is big
thank you adrynalyne, i was actually talking to myself, you just took all the fun and dispair away with not one, but 4 great pointers.
more seriously, i'm glad you took the time to awnser/search it. thanks.
If you are running CM9 or CM9 based ROM try enabling the 16bit transparency option and disable surface dithering. It makes absolutely no visible difference in quality but makes a huge difference in performance.
You know I've always wondered why there was this little Stutter/Lag whatever you wanna call it when I press the app drawer button.
I'am running AOKP and just took the glow off and while the animation will always be there, I no longer have that little stutter as it opens.
I was meaning to ask about this in some Rom threads, gingerbread app drawer always seemed so much faster opening. Since ICS is suppose to be better, I always thought, something wasn't right.
So much smoother. I'll take it.
I have noticed in ICS, when let's say you play a game, lets say Temple Run, you press on the volume keys and a pop up comes up, then the game shutters until the popup is gone, same thing when you have the keyboard up and you navigate the screen, it lags until the keyboard goes away.
Why is it like that in ICS?

Because you just forced an OS popup into a fullscreen 3D game?

Nah. Its some method which they wrote code that is not efficient prioritizing the toast message. Thinking about it, a toast message can originate from almost infinite sources as long as the app/process is running. So it may be too difficult to cleverly handle properly prioritizing toast pop ups in an efficient way. That's all I can think of.
I know when I wrote an app, it was very easy to put in any toast message I wanted anywhere. So who knows what the proper way is to handle them on a OS or kernel level.
I hope they remove this animation from stock android not only from our device but ice in general. It just looks poor and doesn't add any value.

On any given rom what do you do to this code. Do you remove it or change something on it. I know how to use apk tools and decompile and recompile these but I don't know what to do to the code itself.
Anyone wanna post the original lines of code and then the modified lines of code. The line numbers don't seem to be exact.

Two lines, you can adjust the animation time. Another line is for the actual image, which you can set to null for none.

Is there any way for me to return to STOCK touchwiz animations.

So is installed the FREE GS3 R6 and it gave me new animations for exiting apps, locking the phone etc. Unfortunently these were ported from jellybean to the S3 and there are some minor graphical bugs that annoy the crap out of me. One being you exit the text messages app and the app closes but the keyboard stays for about a second. Also when you do the tv lock animation everything goes fine until the last second the screen blinks for about a second. Im not complaining but is there anyway to switch to the old touchwiz animations. Is there some sort of zip I download extract and just drag animation files onto my android and just replace them.
Thanks!
Actually there is a way. Download the latest stock rom and flash it. You'll have a perfectly smooth rom with perfectly smooth animations......
You can turn them off altogether. Not sure if that would suffice for your preference, but you could give it a go.

Screen off Animation

Hey everyone,
So while the guy at the sprint store was activating my Optimus G I noticed awesome screen off animation. Now that its a couple days later and all my settings are set up, home screen ect. I noticed that the screen off animation is none existent, it just shuts off like a normal screen. I looked everywhere in the settings to see maybe if I disabled it but cant find it anywhere. Is there something I did by accident or am I missing something here?? Any advice would help.
Thanks for your time,
Tim

Its actually really simple go to the lock screen settings and select which screen effect you want.
Yep what he said ^ Under Lock screen/screen effects. Dewdrop is pretty badass. This is just another feature I love about LG's UI.

Edit: Just kidding maybe it doesn't. So in that case OP, idk how to help you lol.
