Anyone else having this issue: my home key needs to be pressed a number of times or firmly before it reacts. I'm affraid the button is starting to go.

Mine started doing it a while back and it turned out to be my screen protector. I was using Stealth Guard protectors at the time.

Hmm, Im not using a screen protector.
Are those buttons along the bottom actually buttons, or are they just touch sensititve?
See if it tends to work better if you press it as soon as the button back lights go off.... I had to return my first vibrant because of this hardware issue.

Yes, it works better when the backlight goes off! Damn it, I don't want to have to return this phone. Its easy to get into download mode...
Could it have anything to do with the rom I'm running? (Obsidian v4) its supposed to support a kernel with backlight notification...

Press the home really hard just once and see if its better I did that now it's perfect

theres people asking for this....and i don't think people should flash a non stable rom just for this animation....so here:
screen off and lock
doesn't use lock button, but you can remap long press of search button (i don't use google voice actions that much) to lock the screen with an animation.
hope this helps some people
oh....and if you're rooted (which most people on here are) you can pull the xml animation file and rename it lock_screen_enter.xml or lock_screen_behind_enter.xml, then push it to your frameworkres.apk/anim, it will be your animation for unlocking your phone. it's ultra fast and fits perfectly with the unlock sounds.
i'd include a video, but i dont have a digital camera....
Hmm, Im going to wait to see if someone tries this. Could be pretty epic.
Hmm I was under the impression that the frameworks prior to ginger bread had no support for that kind of animation.
Might when I get home, I really do like the tv animation

I guess pre-gingerbread, the sdk doesn't call for an xml when hitting the power/lock button. So that's why I use the feature to remap long pressing the search button.

doesn't give me screen off animation like in gingerbread on my Vibrant..... uninstalled.....
You guys have to configure it first, you know..... Look in your apps for "configure screen off and unlock" it's not that difficult.

I'm using a vibrant too....and it doesn't require root....so whoever can't make it happen: you're doing it wrong

Thanks for quick responcse, but also I'm not dumb. I've configured it and still nothing.
Do you have all animations turned on in settings/display?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I didn't call anyone dumb. Just said that it's being done wrong. I'm just trying to help, buddy. And it doesn't use the power button...read the op

alright, sorry , it sounded like ya think i'm a moron. I tried 2 times, reinstalled, restarted, and still no Gingerbread style tv off animation. There seems to be a slightly different animation when putting phone to sleep when I set it to "old style TV", but def not gingerbread , not even close.
So I guess I'm must be doing something VERY wrong with the simple instructions and setttings... IDK man. Not sure what to say,
Thanks for the app, unfortunately tho it does not give that GB style tv off animation
EDIT: yes I have all animations turned on, always do
I figure it's close enough for those who really wanted the animation like me. And it works in landscape. So that's a plus to me.
I just wasn't down to install an unstable gb build for this animation.

I'm not bashing at all. Just reporting back from my use of the app. NONE of the animations I select work , so maybe it is the ROM I'm using. IDK.
Ty anyways
That's weird man. Sorry it's not working for ya. What rom are you using? I'm using original bionix v.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Working very well, thanks man! Are there any ways to speed/slow down the animation?
EDIT: Can you also elaborate on unlock animation? Does this mean when we hit the power button the screen will turn on that way in reverse? I'd like to get that going, but would I have to know how to edit and recompile an apk? I've never really messed with xml files.
I mean the transition from your lock screen to your home screen/open app.

can we do this using root explorer?
What I do is take this app from data/app and bring it to my computer, and extract scale_old_tv.xml, and rename it to lock_screen_exit.xml and take your framework, and drop it into framework/res/anim

Was running KG6 then flashed using Lite'ning rom and when I lock by pressing power button screen will not turn off but it will slowly close screen then leave white line then off.

I believe you just described the crt off animation which is a feature and completely normal. Now that I think of it, were you asking question??
Yah sory was asking a question so is there a way to get rid of that white line when turning screen off? Will that do any harm to screen ?
Sent from my GT-I9100M using XDA App
NVM you re right it can be turn off in animation features.

My 5-month old Streak makes an odd click/pop sound when I touch the menu button. This seems strange, as there are no moving parts that I'm aware of under there. I have the haptic feedback turned off (normal practice of mine for battery conservation)..... Everything else seems to be normal. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I've noticed this with my back button. I get the feeling it has to do with build quality inconsistency, as my previous one didn't do it.

I don't remember exactly, but it's home and power button or something like that to take screenshot. I know that it is power button and another button in combination.
hold down the power button, before the screen comes up that asks you to reboot or power off, hit the home button... only need to wait like 1 sec before you hit the home button.
Works thanks a mil
