Questions about lock aNimation - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone ever figured out how to get the gingerbread crt lock animation on a regular 2.2/2.2.1 rom?
Because I really do not feel like odining back to JFD just to flash a gingerbread rom

Can't be done.

It can't be done because the crt effect is located in the kernel and can't be back ported.
Also, this question has been answered numerous times since the effect was first shown off.

Check out "screen off and lock" in the market, it has built in animations, including the gingerbread crt one.

gingerbread crt screen off animation on ANY build

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?

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

Lockscreen replacement on EC01

Anyone else not able to override the stock lockscreen with their lockscreen replacement? I use GOTO Lockscreen and when I set it up it still goes to the stock lockscreen first, then GOTO. This is the first Rom I've had this issue with. Any help would be appreciated.
I had that problem with goto, I emailed their support and was told it is the way the program operates, because the program does not actually replace the lock screen but works over top of it.

Use a root program on the market to disable the actual lockscreen.

Reboot option

I have updated to 1.8.3 and rooted my Atrix. I would like to regain the" reboot" option as opposed to having to power off and power back on. I would like to do this without themeing my phone. How can I add this function?

Edit................posting error!
What error? Wrong section? Something gramatical, or was I incorrect in describing what I was looking for?

Gingerblur 3.1 includes this option. I can't think of a reason not to load that on an Atrix. You can also add bloatware to re-motoblur it. I plan to tweak the zip to include the music.apk from greyblur as am not happy with the newer music client included in gingerblur. Not sure if that is what you wanted but it's the right solution in NY opinion.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I used a previous version of Gingerblur and it was not what I wanted. This being my first expirience with Android I don't mind Motoblur. Other" ROMs" also change too much about the phone. So, I have tried other peoples creativity I would just like to be able to tweak what is already on the phone.
I'm not opposed to being pointed in the direction to be able to do it myself.....

Adding Gingerblur just for one option to reboot seems like a long way to go just to add one functionality.

Very true. Just casting my vote based on the bigger picture for a better phone in general, in my opinion.

Try extended controls. It allows you to set up custom Widgets for wifi, airplane mode, GPS, etc. One of the options is reboot. You have to be rooted and the first time you select it there will be a 30 secondish delay while it asks for superuser access, but after that it is instant.

CM7 unlock animation won't work.

I've ticked/unticked the box multiple times, and rebooted. But nothing will get the animation to work. The lock one works fine though.
Any solutions?
You mean the lockscreen or the on off animations? If its the lock screen try flashing cm7 ontop of what you have now see if that fixes it.
If its the animations make sure in spare parts animation speed is not set to fast, when mine is set to fast the on off animations don't work for me.

If this doesn't work, perhaps try Fix Permissions in ROM Manager?
I turned down the transition time in spare parts and its working again! Thanks guys.

Lock screen

So, I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but I was wondering if there is something I can flash that will just change my lock screen cause I'm tired of the lock screen where I just have two options....slide right to unlock and slide left for sound. I'm running Eclipse v1. 3. Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks

I don't know about flashing to change lockscreen...
but you can try widgetlocker, go locker, QQlauncher, or something similar from market to change up your lockscreen ...there are a few apps available that allow for customized lockscreen ...even allowing u to add widgets or custom sliders to the lockscreen ...
good luck
Liberty X3 you can choose the rotation slider.
On Molten you can choose rotary too.
Ash is right though, those would be the best options.

I just don't want it killing my battery
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
yeah I understand that...
I was also trying to find a way to just replace an apk or something easy like flashing something to get different lockscreen so I don't have an app constantly running to change it...
hopefully someone who knows how to make flashable locksxreens will see this and give us a few choices
ICS theme has a nice lockscreen!
I'm thinking about trying out Liberty 3
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Lockscreens are difficult to add. There aren't any options for an actual lockscreen replacement (besides using Molten or Liberty which allow for Rotary). Lockscreen changes require much smali editing that doesn't seem worth it.
I just hope we can get CM7 soon...
If you want. Go to UOT Kitchen and upload your systeemUI and framework-res apks and make your own lock screen with the options there" then it will cook you a flashable zip. Its pretty neat!

Magic Lock is great
Magic Lock from the market is nice. they have 20 or so different themes with different locks and shortcut keys to apps while your phone is locked. Heres a screen shot of my current lock screen.
How's that on your battery?

Is the lockscreen really that big of a deal? I have seen multiple post of you asking for your lockscreen. I believe you even tried liberty x and still not happy. Seems like a lot of work for a lockscreen.
Haha. Well it's a big deal to me. They coulda at least made the lockscreen on Liberty more customizable

Just seems like many people gave you options and you are very hard to please. I personally like the lockscreen for the ICS theme. You should check those out in theme section. Then if all else fails start by Google uop kitchen and learn to make your own.
Ive been very happy with WidgetLocker. Im trying out MagicLocker right now though just to change it up. If you are worried about battery life, just stay with the default lock screen. Any locker app will probably have an effect on your battery. Sorry.
the lockscreen is a pretty big deal to me.
I settled on widgetlocker.
Its not as good as CHT & winmo, but its the best I found so far.
Go Locker is one of my favs. After switching to this from Widget Locker, I've noticed a little better battery life. I would try it out for a while.
