[Q] Remove CRT effect - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to remove the CRT effect from ROMs that include it?
It doesn't look great on SGS2 yet (until a fix is out for the scrambled image). Besides, I like the fade out feature from stock ROM.

go to display settings and change look for a option where you can change from dynamic to movie..

Doesn't hat only change the colour balance? I tried it anyway but it didn't do anything...

must modify framework.apk using apktool or similar
could try just copying the stock framework.apk - but may cause force closes.

[REQ] Car home automatically changes wallpaper to black

Hey all,
I find it incredibly stupid that car home keeps the standard wallpaper and just dims it. I'm using the album art wallpaper and it makes car home almost unusable.
Would it be possible to force the system to change the wallpaper to a black background when car home is in use and then change it back when you close it?
Thanks!
If your screen is too dark:
Look on bottom right corner, under EXIT CAR MODE. See the little > right arrow?
Hit that and change your screen brightness setting.
Automatic > Night > Day
As for changing the wallpaper. I've never heard about that possibility.
Maybe someone with theming or morphing skillz will come across this thread??!

That should be possible with Tasker.
Unfortunately I use settings profiles and would hate to pay for a software to handle this one thing. I wish CM could incorporate this change into the nightlies!
Would be easy to do with Tasker which is a great app anyway. I recommend getting it and I'm sure you'll find some other useful things you can do with it too (it should easily replace settings profile for you too)
This should be a simple change, but apktool is acting up and won't recompile the apk. Hopefully I will have one available soon.
Cool thanks! You rock.
This is turning out to be significantly harder than it should be. aapt seems to be ignoring the entire res/values folder, so even an empty decompile/recompile fails (but works fine for every other apk I throw at it), and MetaMorph is just flat out having no effect. I will keep working on it, but for now it seems hopeless by divine force.

Even if you can't get it, I appreciate the effort!
So you couldn't get it going?
I really haven't looked into it but isn't it possible to theme the app to use a black interface instead of the transparent one it uses now? I mean replace the transparent .png's with black ones.
The background does not use images, it specifies a theme resourse and adds a transparent black color. I have been trying to change that resourse, without apktool playing nice there is no real way to do this. I tried changing the theme by editing the smali code, but that is overridden by the view's style attribute, and the theme can't be set after the view is inflated.
From what I have found, the only two options with out the ability to compile resource files is either to implement the original idea of blacking the wallpaper on run, or editing the compiled binary xml blob manually.
I could always make a simple service app to change the wallpaper on car mode toggle, that would be easiest at this point.
Update: Did some research, its impossible to set a live wallpaper through code using the public API due to security concerns, so that removes all non-resource ideas. This has to be done through the style resources of CarHome itself.

Build.prop notification sound

In build.prop there is the line for the notification sound.
ro.config.notification_sound=01_Sherbert.ogg
Why doesn't this change if I select another notification through 'sound'?
say Argon and it should change to Argon.ogg
Even if I change it in the build.prop and reboot it doesn't change when you go to 'sound'
Is this done somewhere else?
Running FJ's AOSP ROM if that makes a difference
I believe that is only there to set the notification on first run. After that, that line is no longer used.
Any idea where the current one is stored?
There has to be a line of code somewhere....
No idea. Too quick and easy to change it in the sound settings so I never looked.
ummm have a poke around
data/data/com.android.settings
See if you find what you're looking for
I agree that its not hard to change.
I was just challenging myself to add on to a CWM zip I made.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746683
Studacris I looked in there and see the shared file and lots of setting but not one for the notification sound.
I also don't even know if you can change/add a line to one of these xml file in the script???
Or is always a full replacement of the file?
Trying to learn a bit more about android.
Thanks

[DEV QUESTION] APK Decompile "Single Screen Non-Scrolling"?

I am attempting to change the default settings for wallpaper scrolling. What I am trying to do is make the default setting "Single Screen Non-Scrolling" instead of "Mutli Screen Scrolling". Does anyone have any experience in modifying the samli files to accomplish this?
I have uploaded a copy of the Workspace.smali I am working with. I have found references at line 4201, 16220, and 18887 that deal with scrolling and wallpaper dimensions. Could someone look over this and let me know if any of these line are able to be modified to change the scrolling? Thanks.

I believe this is what you are referring too...its the actual notifications that you want transparent right?
If so, this thread gives instructions. Its a smali edit. I couldn't get it to take but everything else did...

[Q] Change Text Color in Buttons

How could I be able to change text color in buttons?
From the image, I tried changing the boxed text from '<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_holo_light</item>', and creating my own drawable xml file to link it with that. Color change seems successful, but it also affects other holo white buttons as well (see image). I don't want it to happen, for it renders those buttons unreadable. Can you help me with this one? :angel: Thanks in advance!
BTW I am currently using Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

cant you just set root explorer to use default device settings?
then use xblast tools from the xposed framework to change default system text colors.
Thanks for the help, but I found a solution. I tried to find a more specific string, and it worked! I was planning to theme this framework, and use it for my first Custom ROM, a clean one without any 3rd party app to change styles. Thanks again!
