Is screen off animation on crack in 4.2? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is it just me or the animation a lot quicker and more odd looking?
Sent from my Nexus Prime

It's definitely faster

Yep noticed that too. Takes about a half second to trigger the crt animation after you pressed power button and the animation itself is much quicker

Too fast to enjoy?

and u cant turn it off via dev options

paste this line at the end of your build.prop "debug.sf.electron_frames=1" to disable crt animation
the default value is 24

I just want it back to how it used to be! Its not enjoyable now! It just looks awkward...

Maybe this is to fix how it looks on LCDs.. It always looked a bit awkward on my Xperia Play, you could see the screen turn off after the animation, made it look unnatural.

Most likely, being that the latest nexus is no longer amoled

I can confirm this on my i9250. It did this same thing on my G2x on all the CM-based custom ROMs I used as well.

Its always been fast, im still on 4.1.2 and the screen of animation is very fast, how faster can it get?

On 4.2, it has gone from fast to "too fast to enjoy".

It actually seems really choppy/delayed for me.

Its delayed a little, but the animation is faster. xd

Main point, how do we totally remove this annoying thing now without Dev options

What do you mean w/o dev options?
About Phone, fast tap 7 times on the Build number --> you are developer now!

Is there a lockscreen replacement?

I am wondering if there is a lockscreen replacement that actually displays the calendar or other cool stuff.
Something that works like lockinfo or intelliscreenx for iphone.
Thanks
Try widgetlocker. You can change your lockscreen and also add widgets.
Here's the thread for widgetlocker themes

Go locker from market
i was looking for tge same thing.....i am a former iphone user. and youd think with all the devolpers android has ,some type of lockinfo clone would have been devolped. but through my personal searches the closest ive found is "executive assistant" which is free in the market. it comes kinda close but it could be cleaner for my liking.

That lag when u hit your app drawer the first time...

I hate that....does anyone know what I'm talking about? When u are doing ur thing, searching and using the phone and what not...then u open ur app drawer and it lags kinda...it stutters! :/
I don't use a LWP either...
Sent from my Nexus Prime
are you rooted? you need a ROM that has the fastkey softglow mod.
In AOKP, you can turn it off and lag is gone.
I'm running that rom....imma try! I didn't know that!

That's odd, it should take into effect immediately. Do you have any themes or mods flashed over it? You may need a clean build.
Also, are you on the stock kernel (one that comes with AOKP) or a custom one?

FINALLY!! Touch-auto-exposure in Jelly Bean camera!!

For the longest time most Android camera apps are incapable of auto adjusting exposure to suit the touch-focus area, a feature that's found in HTC Sense camera and iOS camera. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just realized that this feature has finally been added to Jelly Beam on GNexus!! For this feature alone I'll stick with Jelly Bean instead of AOKP ICS.
Just wanted to share this as I thought some might find it useful.
Cheers.
--
Edit: I'm really surprised by how many people have absolutely no idea what touch-exposure is. The keywords are highlighted in red above. If you still have no idea what it does, borrow an iPhone from your friend, try touch-focus a few different areas with different brightness levels within the same view, you'll know what I'm talking about. Sadly most people don't even know what they are missing out....
This is awesome if true!
You do aokp will start working on jb as soon as the source comes out....

Of course, but until then, this makes it easy for me to choose between AOKP ICS & JB.
another feature I miss in camera is the pause button while recording video, unfortunately this as not been added

I think it's automatic... uh "touch-auto-exposure" is in the name. Wherever you touch on the screen automatically applies the correct exposure.
You can also take pictures while recording video, just tap on screen.

I'm always baffled why Google didn't implement this earlier. iOS and HTC Sense have had it for a while.
And guess what, even Galaxy S3 still does NOT have this feature..
better known as touch to focus :silly:
I'm confused. What exactly are we talking about? Does touch-to-focus do something it didn't do before? And autofocus doesn't do it?
I think Touch to Focus was absent in AOSP until JB. I used it today without realizing it is a new feature, works exactly as it should.

Nexus Bootanimation

Hey guys.
I am searching for a boot animation that simply says "nexus"
I want it the way like it is on the back of our phones. Do you have something similar?
Thank you very much!

Sure make a colored one!
Nexus grey logo
Here is two versions of the plain nexus logo on a grey background. One is with a 4 at the end and the other has just nexus. Remember to rename to bootanimation and change the permissions to rw-r--r- 644 and place it in your data/local folder Let me know what you think!
Nexus 4 boot animation
Hi
I am the nexus 4 grey boot animation and it is very nice. I have some suggestion regarding the same.
The nexus 4 bootanimation would be better if the background is black and NEXUS in white. It would be very similar, almost similar to "google" boot logo

Oh.. Wow. Talk about thread necro-ing, I've had my N4 for about 1/2 year now and I've just recently been interested in making boot animations. As I was wondering where to share it, I found ur old thread...
Anyway, I think I've made just what ure looking for.... or were looking for (I hope u still have ur N4). But I'm currently stuck at how to make it smaller, its around 3Mb now, and while I know an N4 device can handle it, I would still like to know how to make it smaller without ruining the image quality (If any of u guys would like to give it a try, just PM me n I'll give u the full PNG files)
I use this boot animation. Amazing work...
Awesome, thank you bro

Better unlock functionality in 4.2?

Would it be possible to (or does some rom already have it that I don't know about) make it so that lockscreen widgets in 4.2 can be fully expanded by default and then unlocked just by swiping the unlock up? So basically the widget could be shrunk back and the phone unlocked all in one motion?
This would basically unlock in a similar way to HTC Sense. I'm just not a huge fan of having to first shrink the widget and then unlock as it feels like a totally unnecessary step.
I think Xylon has quick press and hold to unlock, but I found Xylon to be pretty unstable on my VZW nexus. Could that functionality be ported to any rom? If it matters I'm running Liquid Smooth Beta.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks.
Team sourcery rom has auto maximize widgets and long press lock key to unlock phone. Works very well for what you are looking for

I don't think that option is available in CM10. I think it's just like that by default.
