[MOD][XPOSED] CRT off effect [NO LONGER SUPPORTED]

You have probably heard about a modification that makes your phone look like an old CRT TV when you turn it off. This is actually a builtin effect, but it is disabled by default.
There is a tutorial by tweezit that shows how easy it is to enable this effect - but it requires you to change framework-res.apk. There are different threads that offer those modified files, but to combine different modifications, there have to be many different files with all possible combinations.
To avoid this, I'm developing the Xposed framework, which allows such modifications without changing any APK (or JAR in this case). All you need to do is install the Xposed framework app (root required) and then the attached module for it - both with the normal APK installer as any other app.
Tested with Stock LPQ, but should work for most ICS ROMs (not sure about CM9 though).
This mod is no longer supported. Please use my Tweakbox instead.

Very good work. When we add this apk and the Xposed framework app, the effect is automaticaly enabled or we need to enable this by the app? Thanks.

There is a short installation guide with screenshots in the framework thread.
Yes, you need to click a button to actually install the framework (what you download is the installer) and click a checkbox to enable the module. But both should be easy and fast.

Sweet! I've been looking for the CRT effect for my stock rom. And you have made it surprinsingly easy to install it! Thank you!

I would love to see more of these modules. Thx for the sharing!

This module is now integrated in my Tweakbox. I recommend using that module instead.

didn't work with cm9

I may be wrong, but i think this is for Samsung ROM..

I thought CM9 might already have this as an option? Well anyway, this mod is deprecated. Try using my Tweakbox, which includes this mod in a cleaner version. If that also doesn't work for you, follow these questions (and please also let me know if other Xposed mods work for you).

Shame we cannot do this without root :-(
Im scared to root my phone...

It should work on any stock ICS ROM.

Hello everyone
Does this crt off effect works properly? Because until now there is an annoying flickering of the screen.
Is this problem solved ?

This mod works as good or bad as other CRT mods do. The difference is that you can combine it with other Xposed mods.
The whole thing is just a switch that is enabled, the effect itself is already existing in the ROM. I see the flickering as well. This is reported to be a bug in a native library, so I cannot fix it.
Please also note that this version of the mod is no longer supported as I have integrated it into my Tweakbox.

Just installed the mod, works fine on my device - so simply unchecking it in the Xpose app then restarting will revert it back?
(I actually got the flickering after the effect with another mod with a cwm install but now its not present)
EDIT: Spoke too soon - the flickering came back after a few locks and unlocks... no ideas why, but it's too much of a distraction for me so I had to uninstall it.

Yes, unchecking
a mod disables it after a restart. Same thing for uninstalling the mod of course, but then it will be automatically enabled if you install it again.
I personally can live with fhe flickering from time to time, but that's up to every user to decide for themselves.

Updating Busybox should fix that. I think this needs to go into the FAQs, several people reported it already.

There is a fix available for the flickering issue in original android development thread

Yes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676378
And it's working great for me and many others.
As you are already using Xposed, you could try a beta version that I just uploaded. It contains a setting apply the patch on-the-fly (that is in the memory), so you do not even need to replace any more files.

I had already modified the framework res file with the uotkitchen.
It was only the scrollbar which i made red but now its gone.is there any chance to have my uot mod enabled plus the crt effekt???
Thanks for your app anyway much easier to install the effect then over wm.

Any mods for NFC while screen off?

I've seen on the gs3 forums so hacks to use NFC while the screen is off. Anybody know if we can get this going on the note 2?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

I found the thread for the Nexus, but cannot get confirmation that it would work with the GN2... This would be very helpful!
I tried the one that is floating around and it breaks NFC entirely. Had to restore the Nfc.apk that I saved.

I used the Xposed Framework mod to enable this and it works great. You can read about the Xposed framework mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067292. I got the NFC mod (as well as in call recording) from here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/
I can also confirm that the DPI mods that are enabled by this work as well.
Hope this helps.

I already had Xposed installed. So I downloaded the module, installed it and activated it via Xposed and then rebooted. Nothing...
I have other modules that are working properly, so I know its not the XPosed application.
Any suggestions? Did you have to do anything additional?

After activating it in Xposed, I then had to open NFC LockScreen in the Apps drawer and select "screen is off". Closed, rebooted and then it worked for me.
*Edit:
I tested on my wife's phone and it doesnt work on hers. Im running cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 rom and my wife is running teshxx stock T889UVALK8 so it does appear to be somewhat rom dependent.

Im running the same ROM as your wife... Oh well...

Just for the hell of it I did a back up and wipe and installed the cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 ROM and I followed your instructions and it still did not work.
I am willing to pay a bounty to someone who can get this working. I am running the teshxx stock VALK8 ROM and simply want to be able to use the NFC feature while screen off and locked.

[Q] Call Record Option in Dialer

hi all,
I searched and looked out for few call recording apk like Total Recall, Sanity, Call recorder but most of them are not working with my mobile. Either they are not recording the calls through the line ie i need to enable speaker mode to record OR file format (.3gp or Mpg4) are shown as invalid format when i try to play the recordings.
I have rooted my mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 I747 (AT&T, Canada) to Android 4.2.2. I found an interesting article "HOW TO: Enable Call Recording in Samsung Galaxy S3" in Techsplurge forum but the files are valid only for Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-19300), so i am a bit skeptical.
I would love to have a simple call recording solution inbuilt in "Dialer" menu (as shown in attachment) instead of me selecting a different apk. Can anyone please suggest me the changes that i need to do in update-script or provide me with flash file or .tar file relevant for I747 mobile.
Thanks

S3Rx and Dandroid offer this for sure and there might be a few other ROMs as well in the Android development forum
hope this helps
I believe if you grab the LK4 phone.apk from our ROM and put it in yours you will unlock call recording
you can do this as follows
Download Dandroid
Open the zip of you're ROM and my rom (Dandroid) in 7zip
browse to /system/app and replace secphone.apk from my ROM with you're ROM and you should be good to go
I would provide the APK but I just formatted and I'm updating my OS

Hi Dandh,
Thanks for your reply.
Will it be a good idea to directly replace apk file in ROM? I mean, by doing this i hope i dont brick my phone or land into some other issue? What if I try to execute this new apk directly in my mobile without replacing it through boot process?
Also, please send me Dandroid rom link for I747, just to ensure i dont mess up with wrong rom...
Thanks.

Greetings!
I have a similar issue, in that I want to have Call Recording enabled in the dialer.
'
My solution is to use the Xposed Framework and the Call Recording Module. This solution, however, only works with my SGH-i747's (AT&T-US) stock firmware that I have rooted.
I also am playiing around with--via Nandroid backup, back-and-forth--the latest beta of Paranoid Android. I installed Xposed Framework and the Call Recording Module as usual, but it doesn't appear in the PA dialer screen, like it does during a call--either incoming or outgoing--regular firmware's dialer.
So my question is, will using the Dandroid "Secphone.apk" package possibly open this up for me? I really love the latest PA Beta! It's been very stable on my phone, and a bit faster than the stock firmware. It's just that, I Love Both! (Fickle, I know!) I enjoy the quickness of the PA Beta, but also love the polished aspect of the original firmware.
Enabling Call Recording in my PA Rom--as well as doing something about the soft volume level (App Recommendations For This Welcome!) would do much to make it my default ROM.
I know this thread is a bit dated, so I know Patience Is A Virtue!
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Call recording without additional app ?

Hi
I was using Wanam for some time. Now I would like to use only one function - Call recording. Is there any way to activate it on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Stock Rom, without instaling Wanam and framework ? Of course I got Root access.
I want to keep my system as clean as possible. Without any additional apps. Anyone know how this Wanam app do the trick ? I was trying to do some changes in other.xml file - no result. I was trying to replace SecPhone.apk - no result (maybe I was trying with wrong version). I think Wanam is doing some changes in files, but I dont know what exactly is changed....

rom that allows all apps for multiwindow

I just bought a Galaxy Tab s SM-T800 (with Lollipop 5.0.2) and have rooted it and added custom recovery. I am still using a Galaxy Note 8 and enjoy the ability (through root) to have floating windows and have any app I want as a split window. To my disappointment I realized that with the Tab s you cannot add any other apps for multiwindow other than those that Samsung deems compatible. You also cannot float the windows. I tried apps such as Multiwindow Manager but they do not work (I think because Lollipop has broken this functionality). I have also looked at xposed framework (which I use on the note 8) but I am afraid to try this since it is alpha and there have been issues on Samsung devices. Are there any roms out there that would be compatible with the t800 tab s wifi version that will allow more extensive multiwindow support? (BTW I looked at the SuperSamsung Rom but it says it is for the LTE models which I don't have).

No issues whatsoever with Xposed.
Xposed + wanam = any app you want for multiwindows.

Thanks for the reply. I have done some more research and just today saw a post about IronMan rom (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107) and if I understand the post correctly it is compatible with my tablet and has xposed framework as part of it. If I got this right then all I have to do is copy the rom zip file to an sd card, boot into recovery and install it from there and then I would have multiwindow and floating window support as well as xposed framework. Am I correct in what I'm saying? Sorry for my ignorance but would appreciate your input on this.
