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

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.

Hello,i am sorry if i made this thread for nothig,but i've searched the forum for a way to hide the black bar that is down on the screen (the black bar with three dots on it).This is my first Android phone i've had and honestly i'm kinda noob in this Android "world".It's not verry bothering except in games (in every game it shows and i can't do anything to hide it) and i have downloaded an app called MiLocker,but every lockscreen that i setup the black bar keeps showing down on my screen.I've seen on the forum that many people recomend other lauchers (GoEx,etc),i want to know if there is a way to disable this without changing my laucher because i realy like it.
PS:My phone is rooted if anyone has a solution to hide the bar but i have to do some changes that require root acces.
PS:Also,why are the lockscreens so laggy on HTC One X?
Thank you verry much and sorry if the questions above were asked before.
EDIT:Sorry guys,found the answer after all,you can delete the post.
Could you give us your solution?

You will need an deoxed ROM in order to use this.I think i will put the Android Revolution HD (ARHD) on my One X.The only problem i have is that my firmware is 1.26 and as far as i understood for the new ARHD 3.1 i need to put the 1.28.The problem is that i've unlocked with htcdev my bootloader and now the cin is none so i don't have any idea how to update that.I've seen a guy who tryed to put the new ARHD on his 1.26 but claims that he had problems with it and after that he camed back to the stock ROM.Also i have S-ON so i will have to flash my boot.img manualy...i will probably wait for an S-OFF and then update everything.

Does anybody know how I can get the carrier name in statusbar like ios? current screen
You'll need root. Then a custom rom.... Or I think xposed and sense 6 Toolbox could get rid of it.
Without root.... You can't. As far as I know.
Hello i have an HTC 10 but Hidden System UI Tuner seems to be disabled, I've tried the "long press on Gear icon" but does not work also tried with developer mode enabled/disable also with the animations as I've read in some posts, any idea?
Ive rooted all my past phones about 10 different ones but I want to keep this locked for warranty.
Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, HTC has disabled the feature.
You would need to decompile the systemui.apk and edit the smali code, then recompile it, in order to get back the feature.
You can use GravityBox on Xposed to make some quick settings changes (I use it myself), or depending on your version you may find people who've already modded the systemui.apk (no US versions, mostly EU).
BTW rooting should not void your warranty nor keep you from system updates (it's systemless these days).

I use GravityBox and I have two tiles (Calculator tile and Extreme Power Saver tile) that I cannot remove from Quicksettings... Do you have the same problem? Do you have a solution to remove those two tiles maybe? Or maybe know about modified SystemUI.apk with System UI Tuner enabled so I can replace apk with stock one?
Any help is appreciated and thank you...

Yeah I have the same problem. Because of how HTC hard coded the quicksettings we cannot get rid of those 2. There appear to be default quick settings tile options in default.xml but I've not played with it enough to know if it allows changing the default tiles.
Because of all the updated base's there hasn't been an updated systemui.apk from anyone in some time. I personally am not smali proficient to reverse and fix it myself.
Several of the custom ROMs have this enabled.
