Yesterday I flashed my Leo with a custom ROM. Everything works great except that the weather animation (on the Home tab) displays only once. Any idea how to loop it? Maybe a specific key in the registry? Any help will be appreciated as this is the last thing I need to do to be complete
Unless I misunderstood your original question (sorry in advance if I did!):
I'm pretty sure to conserve battery life the weather animation only happens once, if you press the windows button to access the menu, then back to the home screen it then restarts the weather animation for one cycle, as does coming out of the lock screen.
I'm not sure if there is a registry edit that allows it to go on loop, I would be interested in this as well actually.
Exactly - it would be really great to loop this animation.
hi,
I'm using coredroid 3.2 with the animated patch now(after using ARHD for quite some time) and I really like it.
one thing that's missing is the power control on the notification bar
when I bring it down I can see that there's a wide black line - I guess, where the power control was suppose to be. but I can't see it
I edited the notification_config and it's all good but I still can't see it
does anyone know what is it that I'm missing ?
thanks.
I'm not so familiar with coredroid but is the power notification supposed to in the rom from the beginning? If not, you could try flashing one of these:

You could also try kalagas mixed theme.
The flash must of gone wrong because there is a power mod in V3.2. Did you edit the widget.txt or something before flashing? If so, then don't edit it until you get the build running. I've never seen it not show up so something must of not copied over correctly.
thanks for the replies
This was because I've flashed the stock version and then the theme patch.
I've flashed the themed version and the power notification appeared..
but do you guys have any problem with the gps, I can't get any lock without restarting or re-downloading locations.. that's really pissing me off
and one other issue that bugs me is the com.htc.bgp that simply kills my battery, anyone encounter that?
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

Ok, I tried this on Villain Rom 2.1 lite, a very good try by doctorcete, but somehow this fix didn't work for me

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?
Does this fix the sudden brightness changes bug thing?

I dont know about that....maybe?
but it is intended to prevent the squared display that sometimes happens on CRT screen off effect.

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...

he already said its for testing.. just try it and post whether you feel any improvements or not... If this post gets enough positive responses, then it can be a major fix... so please try
It works! In my case, the bug appears when I activate the alarm. Now doesn't, thank you!
Finally, two feedbacks...thanks....im glad to be of any help
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

Im doing a battery life testing right now and rebooting the phone is not part of the test, sorry I cant be of much help yet.
On cognition 1.15, this fixed it for me when opening the power menu!
Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting a thread in XDA and please pardon me if I have posted this in an inappropriate section. I have an issue regarding with the screen on animation. As for screen off animation it is working fine but whenever I switch on the "Screen on animation", it doesn't have that CRT animation. It will just switch on as normal as in normal screen waking up. I know this is not a big issue but it is kinda bothering me. I have tried the latest MIUI Rom as well as CM7 roms. In both Roms, the switching off animation is working fine but not the switching animation. I have searched high and low for the solution but no avail and posted the same thing in other forums too. Any solution for this? Thank you.
I think you can't see the Screen on animation cause of the "wakeup lag".

I just checked it, and I think you're right.
If you're unaware if you've got the wake-up lag (happens with the auo display):
Code:
dmesg | grep panel
In gscript (lite) or Terminal Emulator
You will see a bunch of lines with some text. In my case:
auo_panel_init
msmfb: turning on panel
auo_panel_unblank
auo_panel_blank
(and this will repeat twice)
Anyone know how? Can't find it in settings or even developer options
I know it's only a silly little thing but I don't like it

What do you mean by screen fade

When you press the power button to switch the screen off, the screen goes from being black to a white line in the middle, then goes off. kinda like an old TV set

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

I'd done this before after a bit of Googling but didn't know you needed to reboot the phone
Much better now
