Hi! I have a rooted galaxy s2 with stock 2.3.5. Is there a way to add the CRT animation to the stock ROM?
See this thread
To install, download Root Explorer app, then:
1. Download the file from the above thread and unzip.
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and copy the downloaded framework-res.apk file to a folder on the internal SD drive.
3. On the phone, open the Root Explorer app.
4. Navigate to /system/framework.
5. Long press on framework-res.apk and press Copy
6. Press back key then navigate to /sdcard/external_sd/backup and hit paste to create a backup on the external sd card [NB backup is a folder I use for backups, but you can paste it anywhere]
7. Press back key twice then navigate to the /sdcard folder where you copied the downloaded framework-res.akp file.
8. Long press on framework-res.apk and press Copy to copy the new version.
9. Press back key twice then navigate back to /system/framework and hit "Mount r/w" at the top.
10. Press Paste to overwrite the new file over the old one.
11. The screen goes black, the startup music plays, then the screen comes back and it's installed.
Thanks I changed the framework-res.apk and it works but the animation doesn't seem to display very well... It looks more or less like this:

Check out jkays mods.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278
If you have one of the supported stock Rom versions you can easily flash his stock odexed theme to keep the stock look then install jkay delux application and get the CRT effect and many other tweaks that I'm sure you will find useful.
Great lockscreen too.
I think this is a much better option than trying to do each mod manually.
Also everything from jkay is totally reversible.

Hey, I'm honoured that you liked my bootanimation and gj porting it!
Added CWM version for those with unlocked bootloader and new Tenfar CWM.
maybe an fyi for others...when I first did this I got the image but no sound.
if that is the case rename the transformers.mp3 file and use a capitol T
or edit the desc.txt file...either one.
Hope this helps someone.

Should have been ok. Checking now.
Which version?
<edit> Nothing wrong with either CWM version. My 1st and the original zip file did have a capitol "T" in the description file. Fixing now.
<edit 2> Fixed. All versions are fine now, although I may remove the "non-CWM" version.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
The originals...sorry.
I've been playing around with this ever since. Didn't know you could do sounds with boot. thats pretty cool.
hey I am on gingerbread, the sound doesn't work for some reason
I tried 2 kind of installation, it still doesn't work.
Also I check the T is capital, anyone has any ideas?
If you are on 2.3.4, then I can't help. I will change description to reflect it not working on this build.
im using this on hktw-2.3.4 w/o the sound (purposely) and it works fine.
Thanks! It works!
Animation works perfectly when moving from SDCard to system/media as OP instructed for the AT&T official 2.3.4 ROM, but the Transformers MP3 does not play as stated above - does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it to work?
EDIT - FIXED per this thread, all you have to do is move the MP3 file to /system/media/audio/notifications and you'll get sound when booting! Thanks CaelanT for the fix!
I'll create a flashable Rom for 2.3.4 later today. Audio goes in /system/media/audio/notifications for this build.

i have the Voicemail Icon on my Status bar ALL the time.
NO it's not a service provider issue. Nor anything else. it's just something i have to live with it (i live in Iraq,and trust me these things are normal here)
WHAT I NEED IS: is it possible to REMOVE the icon from the system so i can't see it on the status bar anymore????
If your rooted you could find the png file in framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk and replace it with a transparent image other than that i cant help sorry.
Yes Rooted. and Yes i want to use this method (either delete or make it fully transparent)
BUT: where can i find those? directory ???

framework-res.apk is in system/framework
SystemUI.apk is in system/app
What rom are you on?
Custom or stock?
Take a screen shot with the icon ill see if can change it for you.
i use CriskeloRom V18 with Blue theme
and as you can see from the screen shot the voicemail is ALWAYS there.

BTW, Thanks for your concern and kind help.
I have found the file its stat_notify_voicemail.png in framework-res.apk.
Can you copy your framework-res.apk from system/framework with a root file manager and upload it and ill replace the image for you.
If your not sure how to do this let me know and ill try to explain.
Ive modded the file to be transparent just needs injecting into your framwork
can you teach me how to replace the PNG inside the APK? so i can do it myself in the future.
Thanks again ( A LOT )
update:
the Framework-res.apk is over 10mb big and won't load (unless i zip it and send it in 2 parts) ... it'll be great if you tell me how to replace the png.
Sure i can we like a user who likes to learn
first you need winrar http://www.rarlab.com/
1. using a root file manager (this is a good free one http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=30417) copy your framewor-res.apk from system/framework to your internal or external SD Card
2. Copy it off the SD to your pc.
3. open the framework-res.apk on your pc with winrar
4. Navigate to drawable-hdpi
5. drag the modified stat_notify_voicemail.png i attached into drawable-hdpi leave all the options as they are and press ok.
4. copy the framework-res.apk bk to system/framework *you might get a force close or random reboot (dont worry its normal)
5. when phone has rebooted navigate to system/framework and change the permissions to as per my pic.
6.reboot
7.???
8. Profit
Hope that made sense!
Never will the voice mail icon annoy you again
My upload didnt work properly ive rar'd it up hopefully will work better this time
no matter what i do or use it won't let me edit (over write - replace - rename) the framework-res.apk file.
i replaced the png but can't replace the whole apk
PS: is there a way to permanently stop the Voice mail. (like uninstall the functionality from the phone)
You need to set your file system to writable, try this.
1. Download es file explorer from the market
2. In options tick root explorer
3. Tick mount file system as writable
4. Copy the file using es explorer
-possible reboot
5. go bk to system/framework in es explorer
6. long press the file - properties and change permissions to match my pic
6. reboot
hopefully that should sort it and you still get voicemail
ps. this shouldn't need saying but im gonna say it anyways, make sure you have a CWM recovery backup first just incase something goes wrong and you can restore
I themed my CM9 Galaxy Nexus notification drawer widgets to match the blue in the rest of ICS instead of the default white. I had an Epic 4G visitor ask about doing this for their phone, then a Photon user too! So I built this Zipthemer file to help y'all out. I don't have a Photon so I couldn't test this out. If you try it let me know if it works, or what doesn't work.

download zipthemer here
*How to use Zipthemer*
note: you may need a ROM you have flashed (CM9) in order to configure your edify script (this is the script that tells CWM what to do when you run your update.zip file)
1. Install zipthemer!
2. Open up the menu (on ICS it's the 3 vertical dots) and click on update edify (you will only have to do this once)
3. Updating Edify screen (complete either Option 1 or Option 2)
- option 1: browse to the ROM you have on your phone and click it -- done
- option 2: click on download, then exit out of the screen, click options (3 dots), settings, update script format, select your phone. If your phone isn't present, see option 1.
4. Download the zipthemer file (.zip), and using a file explorer, move it to the "zipthemer" folder on your sd card.
5. open zipthemer again, click the "+theme" button, select the theme you want to apply (you can select more than one, or even only certain parts of one)
6. click "*output" button and pick the name you want for your update file (or accept the default). Leave the "-update.zip" at the end of the file name and "/sdcard/" at the beginning so it will be in your sdcard root directory and easier to find when you go to flash it.
7. click "build it!", it will ask you if you want to create a backup file, I usually do just in case so I don't have to re-flash the entire ROM to undo my changes if I want to.
8. Exit zipthemer, reboot to recovery, flash your new zip file, reboot system, enjoy!
more notes:
a. as always, it's a pretty good idea to run a nandroid anytime you play with your system (this is a do as I say, not as I do kinda statement)
b. A lot of these type of themes where some system files are modified or system apps are modified, it's good to do a wipe dalvik/cache
c. if you update your ROM to a new nightly/RC/stable, re-build the zipthemer file. It's likely that this isn't necessary, but unless you know just what the CM team changed it's probably a good idea.

I have the i9300 and recently i install a new rom based on S5 Q5 with 4.4.2 that changes the function of the home button and the left button (neer the home button).
Here is the name of the rom: S5-QS-i9300_KK_v2.9(NI1)_FOR_CWM
When i click on the home button for 2 sec it throws me to a scrern with "google now" thing.
When i click on the left button it gives me the option to clear process on backgroung (which it was exctly on my older rom version). See below:

How do i change the function of the home button so he will work normally and give me the clear process screen instead of "google now" screen?
Try xposed addition.

Here. Tested and works on bulldog's DN4 Port.
Longpress on menu gives SFinder not google shortcut for me.
Backup your existing files first. Easiest way is to extract the zip and replace with what you got in your rom, rename it and zip it back, so you don't get mixed up btwn current and this zip:

First thing you must Backup your system. to restore it just in case you failed
1-Put the zip file "Hardware_key_remap" in your SD Card
2-Reboot your phone and hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together.
When you see the Samsung logo, let go buttons
You should now be in CWM Recovery.
3-Install the zip file from SD Card
4-Reboot
It will effect my system
