We have had it with this dammned bug (black squares on CRT white animation, pixelated as karendar says), lets hope we get it right this time uh!
update: seems the only way to break the CRT is taking a screenshot from the samsung included screencapture and music app...that is holding down the home button and pressing power at the same time..... this is for the pixelated effect.
I also own a Galaxy tab, which doesnt have the smooth animation on CRT effect either, this feels like there is something on framework.jar and even on the surfaceflinger.cpp (where the animation is stored) that differs from the one HTC uses.....I dont know any coding of drivers, neither how to edit cpp files, I do know however how to decompile jar files, took a look inside and at first glance everything seems the same.
I feel the CRT effect is as good as is going to get, until someone comes along and breaks the surfaceflinger apart and compare it to the HTC one. There are more important things to do and fix regarding the S2 than the CRT off animation (which ain that bad withouth pixels to begin with), so, if anyone is willing to invest time on cpp coding, pm me and Ill help it whatever way I can.
Now, CRT pixelated effect is indeed fixed with blur set to slow, which means the surfaceflinger is unable to handle the overload when set to fast which then leads me to the following:
Have two theories about the screencapture pixelating the CRT animation
1.- the white flash that it uses to take the screenshot corrupts the animation or overloads surfaceflinger.
2.- the screen is resized while taking the screenshot wich again corrupts the animation or overloads surfaceflinger.
Thanks everyone who tested it, and I already see it is being implemented on ROMS and themes, which honestly makes me happy to have been on any help
Continue on with experimenting then.......
so straight to the point..... based on this
false
did the following (dont have to be a genius to do it)
decompiling framework-res.apk, navigate to res/values/bools.xml
change the following[/B]
from
false
to
true
and of course, enable CRT effect
from
true
to
false
then compile back
Have been testing it on my device and have not had the bug ever since......Obviously this needs more testers than myself (lol), reason for this thread.....
I am providing an example for VillainRom v2.1, CWR flashable zip, with only the two mods explained above, nothing else, but feel free to mod the framework on you desired rom
and if working....pls give credits....!
btw, should work on CM7 too.(edit, just saw CM7 already has this config and bug still exists there, but i also know surfaceflinger is not optimized yet)
Needs feedback working or not!
Mods, I think this is the wrong subforum right?, sorry, pls change it to the right one....(I think it is
Galaxy S II Original Android Development)
@pulser_gt, if working feel free to add it to VRtweaks

what happens, u have the squared bugs on CRT?....I always had the bug when long pressing power button, now i dont have it, been using it, and havent bumped into it....is lite version odexed aswell?, maybe that has to do with it too?

Yeah, I still see the screen turning off weirdly, I mean its not like what we saw on nexus s... I think villain 2.1 lite is same as original rom, only apps are removed... but I'm not sure, because it was not mentioned in the rom thread and it was themed
do u mean the smoothness of the animation, or u see the black squares inside the white fliping crt animation?.......if so, how are u reproducing it?
Give it a try. How does the animation work is it like the boot animation?

I mean the smoothness, its still not very smooth, maybe its my view, we need more testers... this should be in original development...
ah ok....its intended to fix those ugly black squares, about the smoothness, if this is fixed, that is the next step.....
(u made me wipe the phone just to retest, lol)
How is this any different to the CRT animation off thats been around for some time, I never noticed it bug out on me.. can you guys put up a video on how this "fix" looks like?
it aint different.....for instance, if long pressing power button, then presseng back, and turn off phone (just hit the power button, standby), The white flipping image becomes distorted, with black squares, this aims to prevent those black squares, as I said, same animation, just not distorted...

Hey Doc!
Does this use the odex framework? I ask because i had the extended power menu mod posted in the Villian thread installed which deodexed the browser before this, well i flashed through cwm and wiped cache and now i get a few random force closes and when i try to enter the power menu i get booted to the boot screen.
Gonna try again now on a fresh install.
Not sure if im being dumb or or it was to do with odex.
I will say the crt seems to be working a treat from what ive seen lol
No more black squares on Cog 1.15 great job !
Thx m8

NOTE: Do Not Apply this mod for Alpha 3, it screws up the status bar. You have been warned. I will see if i can recompile it for Alpha 3, makes it tougher without sources.
Initially i did this mod for my I9000 which was running CM7.1 and i was only seeing carrier numbers instead of names. I have ported this to CM7.1 for HP touchpad. Flash this file in cwm recovery.
When booted up you should see an additional setting in cyanogenmod settings called CustomSettings, tap that to open custom carrier text, tap that and enter whatever you want to show on the lockscreen and notification bar. Press done.
Install the attached notificationrestart.apk and open it, give it root access, press restart and wait for the notification bar to restart. This is to avoid restart of the tablet before you see the new settings apply. Voila, you should see what you put in the custom name. Have fun and hit the thanks button if you like it. Cheers.
If for some reason your status bar looks wonky after a while use this to get back to original stuff. I changed the dpi to 182 using nitrality app and the wonkiness seems to be gone. I am using iKandee theme from market.
Original Mod for I9000 credits
doixanh ( for his ginger DX settings)
ngiordano ( for his helping hand with androiding)
Screenshots of what settings should look like.
I'll give this a shot. Is there an option (perhaps in the future) to place a .png file where the carrier text is? Similar to MIUI? Just curious.
Ok. dl'ing now. I'll report back.
EDIT: It works! My only issues
A) The notificationrestart.apk installed, but didn't seem to do anything. I didn't notice the change until after I rebooted the device.
B) I'm now seeing the 3G bar in the corner (see the image). Is there a way to keep the custom text, but not show the signal bars?

May be. I will look into it at a later time, no promises. If the status bar gets wonky, set dpi to 182 and see if it happens. For me its perfect at 182 (which is what my phone is it)

For now no. once cm team publishes source I will recompile with that.that well solve these issues. Did you run the notification restart app? I had to wipe data of that apk using titanium backup and it worked fine after that. 182 dpi works fine. Anything less than that status bar gets wonky.

thanks for this! no issues on my TP so far.
as a little test i flashed this to my T-MoUS HD2 Leo since i could never find a way to set a custom carrier label.
it works great on there as well - with one side effect on the lockscreen. any chance this can be fixed? i just did it on a whim since it's cm7 i figured it couldn't do to much damage. no problems on the status bar, just the lock screen.
i know it wasn't built for this device so don't answer if you don't want to

I have no idea where that comes from and i don't have your device, so i can't really fix it i think. if you want to roll back, all you need to do is open up my zip files and replace the app and framework files with the ones from the rom for your phone ( not from your phone as it has mine now).
Cheers
For some reason whenever i try to boot a custom carrier label my Touchpad never boots up... it just hangs on the cyanogen mod boot animation and requires a hard reset... followed the instructions perfectly. anyone have the same issue?
after some messing around i got it to boot up for me. then the notification bar went "wonky" used the nitrality app to adjust the dpi. works fine. what is the default dpi again?....

Screwed up my notification bar, the resolution is way off and battery percentage is gone. Cyanogenmod won't let me add it either?? The OriginalLabel.zip doesn't have battery percentage either for some reason. Guess I'll do a restore in Recovery. Thanks for trying though.
Anyone know how? Can't find it in settings or even developer options

Custom ROM's have CRT off option
Thanks guys, but is there a way to disable this without installing a custom ROM?
I have root access
Also, if I have the stock ROM, but rooted, can I still just install OS updates like normal?
Not sure about JB, but in GB it was a framework mod. Decompile it and it's in one of the strings.xml
All you have to do is turn off the animations in developer options. I dont know which of the three changes the crt animation but one of them does. Youll need to reboot the phone for the changes to take place. No custom rom needed

Try holding down on the icons and moving them. If you can, remove them from the screen and re add them. If not, try disabling any xposed modules (if you have any that could effect the home screen) and look at it again. I don't personally use the touchwiz launcher and this never happened to me, so these are just guesses. Also, I noticed you have a strange colored Google app in your bottom bar. Did you do anything to the icon, and if so did you possibly break other icons while doing it?

I did factory reset my phone and still see these , is there any software to fix that or this is a hardware issue .
is this called a burn-in issue or it is called some thing else .
thanks for replying .
Are those applications actually there software wise? If not, then it would be a burn-in, where the screen has the images "burned in" and can't be removed. If they are there you could try flashing a stock tar using Odin for whatever build you want.

having same issue in MotoG3
I got this phone(MotoG3) 15 days back, it worked fine for a few days and suddenly I noticed that a "Whats app Shadow" is coming on my home-screen, it was hardly noticeable at first but then it became darker and darker, I replaced the phone thinking it might be a software issue, and got the same handset today itself, it worked fine but again as I installed whats app the same shadow problem appeared, I uninstalled it and it started to work properly. Am not sure where is the problem, so please help me out.
About the shadow issue:
The home screen of whats app appears in my wallpaper and also above all the other apps, a transparent shadow kinda thingy, I hope you people got what am trying to say.
Thank You
I also have the same issue on my redmi note 8 but in my phone i doesn't shows the shadow of the icon but but the shadow off appa inside when I use anh app
I have the same issue on my Pixel; the shadow apps aren't directly on my home screen, but when apps are opened. Perhaps due to Google system.
Hi all,
In the past a few mods have caught my eye, over time they've slowed stopped being available on all devices, mostly because of changes made to android.
Here's a list of the ones I liked most.
1. Screen off animation, the CRT on /off it just looked amazing.
2. List view animations, not completely gone but not exactly something you can just flash.
3. Halo, I know this was paranoid androids, but it never got ported over quite as much as I thought it would..
My question is are these available anywhere ? Any idea how to flash them ? Or even if anyone misses them like I do?
I know that CRT and list view can be obtained by flashing two Xposed modules called
Screen off animation and xui mod.
Halo I've never seen outside of PA.
But these mods used to be flash able as standalone without Xposed.
Personally I'd like to avoid Xposed as it breaks so much and I don't like it to be honest, although its a great bit of software.
Any ideas ?

You can use Screen Off and Lock ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en ) to achieve your desired screen lock effect. I too LOVE the CRT T.V. off look that Moto put on their phones some time ago. I use this app all the time in conjunction with Nova Launcher's ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en ) double tap action just to make everything super fluid. As for the list animations, I am not too sure what you mean but they may be found in Nova settings too. I know it has an option for something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as the Halo type things you may want there is an app called Unique Controls and does not require root. Hope this helps!

This is one of my old HTC devices the list view animations can be seen here as can the screen off animation,. The CRT animation was changed from not existing to CRT to fade which it is now, the Nexus devices had it originally then vanilla type phones like Moto followed suit.
I've seen the application and it's not quite the same, although it wasn't last I tried it, I'll give it a whirl and see how it is.
Same with unique contrails, sorry I probably should have mentioned this too, they aren't quite the same as the originals.
Appreciate you taking the time to answer though, thanks.
From what i remember it was something to do with surface flinger but I remember that that has now changed although could be wrong (screen off animation that is)
Any other ideas?
Ok so that app has come a long way, by all accounts it doesn't allow for the actual power button to show the screen animation and fingerprint didn't work, probably a way to map a key to it.
Will check it out tomorrow
Cheers
Ok so tried a few of them apps and none of them allow you to use fingerprint thereafter

Hi,
My second screen app icons periodically get really small (and kinda ugly) for no apparent reason. Then they get back to normal size also rather randomly. One way to get them back to normal is to turn off and on app icons.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't even know how to take a screenshot of the second screen to show what it looks like.

The pictures look the same to me only the second one is slightly closer?
What is this potato you speak of? Haha
This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.
This is a value setting within the theme itself.
The themer has set the theme to draw app icons on top of a series of backgrounds and they set the icon to be drawn at a percentage of the default app icon.
What I'm saying is the theme will, in this case, reduce the app icon to a smaller size then place it on top of one of the themes bg's.
Some icons have bg's as part of the actual app icon and some have only the icon (see attatched samples). Obviously icons that do not have a bg will blend into themes easier because the themes bg option will look more intended.
There are several options to fix this, but only one being easy.
1. The easy one does not get to keep the theme, you must change the theme to something that is visually acceptable to you
2. This is an option for users that have some experiance swapping images in an apk. Find the app which has an icon you don't like and use 7zip to open the apk and swap the image for one that appeals to your taste. Problem here is that thing can get overridden every time the apps gets updates. This can also trigger package errors due to signatures values and changes from original size.
3. Knowledge or modding a decompiles apk using apktool is required for this one.
Located the themes common.apk and decompile it.
Within the decompiled folders you will find a values folder, open the integer.xml and change this value to the value that fits your needs best (100 being 100% or the full original size) <integer name="config_icon_ratio_as_theme">65</integer>.
There are other ways that can do what you are wanting done, you just have to get creative with it!
You ask "how to take screenshots or second screen? You've asked this question twice now, obviously without reading the reply to the question the first time.
I persoanlly answered the question by pointing you to the link where you have options on how to add the feature you want.
This is a development community and i suggest spending a little more time reading and you'd be surprised with gow much you can find by doing a quick search.
So in summary, change you theme or learn to edit decompiled app with apktool.
Read every reply ro questions you ask so you and the people who take the time out of their days to answer you don't have to repeat themselves.

Good luck, good day and hope that sums up your question here

The pictures look the same to me only the second one is slightly closer?

actually there's a bigger difference in real life, maybe the blurred second photo doesn't convey it well

This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.

The problem is, this size keeps changing randomly. I haven't changed the theme in 2 months, but the size switches between the correct size and the tiny one every few days. The theme itself is the 'Default Black' theme that came with the phone.

I saw the comment, replied to the first part but happened to miss that part out. Thanks for that.
Attaching clearer pics to demonstrate the size difference.
Again it doesn't happen when the theme is applied. The theme has been applied from the beginning.. It's the dark one that came with the phone.. The problem comes and goes randomly.
Same here! Usually it happens when I've moved around an app icon, doesn't matter if it's moved onto the second screen or onto a homescreen.
A restart usually resets the size to normal.
u/stangdriver44 u/3mL : I have found the reason for this.
It's due to the modification of DPI I did on the main screen. It seems this setting is inherited by the second screen off and on. I just reduced my DPI further to 400 and the second screen icons got even smaller.
Others have also reported this issue. (As on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...e_the_size_of_the_navigation_buttons/dnj6dko/)
Is there a way to de-link the DPI of the second screen with that of the first?
Im trying to reduce the size of those buttons, can youpeovide the dpi and resolution that you are at?

The one in the photo was at 420. I'm currently at 400, which makes for some really tiny icons.
EDIT: please note, that this resizing isn't constant, it gets turned on and off like a boolean such that sometimes it stays small, then returns to normal for a while.

MMM, nothing different but changing DPI? You are working through ADB?

Yes, thanks for your quick reply and apologies for my super delayed reply to that.
EDIT: I guess this is probably what you're looking for - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-how-to-change-dpi-root-t3335596
the command is : adb shell wm density 420 && adb reboot
