Is there any way to put the screen on/off anims in the salsa/bbq roms?
I know I've asked this a couple times before, and I hate to be a bother but I figured I'd ask one more time.
Any reply is appreciated, thanks.
Wait and see I think we may have someone who is working on a new salsa rom for us with on and off animations

Here, I've been using this for quite a while. It's called screen off and lock.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&feature=search_result
If you tinker with the settings, it has the crt screen off animation. The youtube demonstration vid shows the crt animation. I have it on random animations and my search key is used turn my screen off. Though, I'm not sure if it's the same as the stock version but it's quite useful imho.
Thank for the replies guys. I'll try screen off and lock in the meantime till the euro port is released.
CRT Screen ???? Wow, that must be pretty bulky to carry around?

Is it just me, or does the S2 not have the cool screen off animation that looks like an old TV switching off? I thought it came as part of gingerbread?
Now there is a proper reason not to buy the phone, it's rubbish without this feature.

Time to cancel my pre-order
On-topic: Can be re-added in custom rom or maybe even with a nice option through an app.

Only for Nexus S and One with pure Google experience.
BTW I hated it and disabled it on my HTC Desire custom ROM.

Someone will make a flashable update.zip, don't worry. We need CWM first though
Ive had the phone for 5 days and have only just noticed, so no big deal really. Would be nice to have though as I think it's pretty cool looking.

i have the screen off animation on my nexus one, and it really is worth it to have that little feature. HTC took it off their upcoming phones as well, who knows why they are removing it.
it will be added back with custom ROMs for sure.
If you want the old CRT TV-off animation try the program "Screen Off and Lock", has the same thing. I use it on my SGSI now, and from memory there was a recent update for gingerbread compatibility. You can check youTube for examples of it in action, unfortunately I cannot supply a link since I'm at work.
So I updated to gingerbread yesterday, and I nicer this really awesome animation when you hit the power/standby button on the phone. Its like the stereotypical tv shut down animation you see in movies, its really awesome. The thing is, I was talking to my friend who also has an atrix and upgraded to gingerbread , but he says he doesn't have that thingie. Do you guys have it?

Yep - i have it on mine
make sure you have animations enabled under display
Got it here. I have missed this animation since I let me Nexus S go feels good to have it back!

First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

Here is the referenced thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177746
This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

Apparently it has a lot to do with the music player and screen shot app. But no matter what I still get a weird flash in the middle of it, ruining it. On KH7 anyway, with slowBlur off.
Rebooted, still funky.

Haha I'll get to it soon I hope! International Baccalaureate high school system senior year is major anal dilation. Measured in meters, a standard unit.
I read through the linked thread and found an interesting temporary workaround.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

I've confirmed that taking a screenshot is what causes mine to malfunction. A reboot fixes it.
EDIT: I've gone back to using ShootMe for my screenshot taking.

Bet you can't say that five times fast!!!
Well...er...can confirm that reboot worked for me too!!!
On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.

So the CRT should be on here completely bone stock? After reading this, I tried and do not get the CRT animation. I checked and all animations is selected. WTF?
I was wondering if there is a way now that we have root to enable the Gingerbread on / off animation that HTC removed, without having to flash a new ROM?
This is different than the power up / restart / down animation that is listed elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks!
I just searched around, and maybe it's lack of proper wording but all I turned up was "it's in Gingerbread" Nothing relating to how to activate/deactivate/change it. What I would surmise from all of this is that HTC chose not to implement it in their build, so an AOSP build would/should have it vs the HTC build.. Sucks but it seems like all we have right now.
Of course the last link I try, I find this: http://droidmodderx.com/old-school-crt-animation-for-gingerbread-tv-off/
Don't go flashing it, but we should be able to pick it apart and determine what we need to add in.
I was able to add it in but HTC messed something in the code up and the animation plays extremely slow. I'm still looking around to see if i can figure out how to speed it up and once i do it'll be in my rom.
Awesome. This is my first Android and I've seen it in videos. Seems pretty cool!
u can try spare parts+ to speed up the animation.

Good stuff, thanks for the reply guys. Seems like it should be something to easy to add in but I guess not.
Are you talking about the animation that comes up when you turn your phone off/on? The animation on the CM roms? If thats the one your talking about I would love it too.

No, this is when you put the screen to sleep(tap the power button, or wait for the screen timeout).
It's called the CRT animation, is mimics the screen "twitch" old CRT computer monitors.

yeah thats it, is this out yet for rezound?
Negative, according to Newt and Chingy, the animation does work but there's something within the OS that slows it down dramatically, so it's pretty much useless.
We'll have this soon enough, the dev's are awesome and they'll figure it out. I do like having those animations.

Coming from EVO 3D, I know it took them quite a while to get CRT working there, as well.
Again, I am not forcing anyone to do this specially you, the devs. Just trying to request a feature I think will help this rom more clean. But I cant do it myself that's why I ask you devs.
Fade Screen off animation is really awesome. That'll be very nice on Nexus devices. CRT screen off is good but fading is better. Thanks!

sorry, looks like it might be Xposed's GravityBox setting for screen off. I too dislike the CRT effect. I actually prefer non-fade-out, simply turn off immediately. Looks coolest to me. Only way for that is turning off some of the system UI animations

I used Xposed Modules before. But it seems not working good and I dont like to turn off UI animations. That's why I am asking for this feature like what I saw in the other roms. Isnt it good?
