[Q] How to speed up the CRT Screen off animation on CM7 - Motorola Droid X2

Hi,
I noticed an annoying thing about CM7. The screen off animation is noticeably slower than that on Stock 2.3.4 and other Blur based ROMs.
Does anyone know how to speed it up?

+1 I would also like to know lol

Havent found a setting for it. I took this as in this is what it is supposed to look like. I assumed the stock blur based made it choppy and thus made it appear to disappear quicker.
Never thought about it much, shutting it off and putting it away is what I'm doing.

I noticed that it was slower right away. But it didn't bother me at all.

The setting to alter window animation speed is found in Spare Parts under the general section.

That doesn't help with the screen off animation.

Hmmm it appears you are correct, my apologies.

[Q] Tazz Gingerbread 6 Fade issue

Tazz, great job with this rom; love the screenies I saw of blackend gb, too. As said in the forum I tried to post this in; it's like getting an all new phone. I was stoked to see the "tv effect fade to lock screen"; and got an opportunity to show it to my wife...... just before it stopped working. LOL.
I'm not sure if this a CM issue or the Rom Tazz made...
So to reiterate my question is simple; how do I get the screen off fade back? I tried disabling/re-enabling from CM settings; still no luck... I also tried enabling/disabling animation effects; and switching back to adw launcher (from my preferred launcher pro, thinking maybe lp was preventing it somehow).
& Hope you feel better real soon!

I've seen people saying this in both ROM threads. I'm not sure what causes it but have you tried a reboot? I believe that is what brought it back for a lot of people. I haven't had mine go away to try anything to get it back.

Yeah, I've re-booted several times. I'm not sure where the animation speed setting is.
Display in main menu has some/none/all setting, CM display setting has screen-on/off toggles, cm has time out settings, and I tired adjusting them, no luck. I even tried using ADW launcher, instead of launcher pro. It's not a <b>huge</b> deal. Just disappoint to see something so awesome disappear... like losing a custom boot animation, or an emulator not working right suddenly. THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME THOUGH!

Its in spare parts. Also I did a fresh flash and it cameback, rebooted started returning all my settings slowly. It wasn't until I enabled auto killer. I'm going go try a fresh install and format SD card as well. This time I'm not going to touch auto memory. Its possible my exchange has something to do with it's às well.

[THEMES] GingerBlur +1% Battery(2 Versions) and GalaxyBlur + 1% Battery

My Version of the GingerBlur framework given to us by kennethpenn with the 1% battery mod by shoux.
Battery + Charging Icons provided by _JKay_ over in the I9000 forums, and all others are courtesy of Samsung, lol.
Bios GingerBlur Boot Animation Edited by Krshaw18 is the provided bootanimation, as its the one I use.
This is only a mod to the GingerBlur framework, all I did was put all the pretty pictures in the right places... if you want to thank someone look above, donate to them.
Changes to GingerBlur framework --> Battery Icons, Signal Bars (1-4 are Silver, 5th is Green), Data Icons, and wifi signal.
*H icons are provided but 3G is the one constantly shown as thats the one I like.
Any Issues let me know, and I'll try and get to them tomorrow. However I am participating in a marathon this weekend so nothing may show til beggining next week.
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON MY PHONE(AT&T 4.1.83) I WOULD NOT TRY THIS ON ANY OTHER VERSION. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPERWEIGHT.
Added the original GingerBlur for those requesting it.(Check Previews)
Added GingerBlur Ver2 = Original GingerBlur with the Battery Icons from GalaxyBlur (not tested, and no previews, but made the same way as the others)
All downloads are CWM Flashable Zips.

There's probably one available somewhere else (although my searches doesn't find anything), but can you make one with only the battery icons [for GingerBlur]? I quite like the current look but want batt. percentage. Would be greatly appreciated

Great, thanks! Will flash it later and let you know the result.
Not to sound really picky but I prefer the battery icon in the Galaxy version, but don't want the other replacement icons. Is it just a matter of unzipping the 'original' mod zip and replacing the icons within with the battery icons from the Galaxy version, then rezipping and flashing?
@others I believe GalaxyBlur is what you see in the first two images- ie data/3G/etc icons changed to the Samsung icons as well as the battery.

can i install this over GladiAtrix 3?
any battery drain after install themes?
GalaxyBlur is just the random placeholder I gave my theme due to most of the files I added being from the SGS II system dump. It'll get a more cleaver name soon.
And Yes, this will go perfectly fine over Gingerblur 3.1 and GladiAtrix 3

Thanks- that was unexpected
I guess I know what to do now if I find other icons that I like (and can stop bugging you ).
Downloading v2 right now, will update this post when complete.
EDIT: Flashed, no problem. First boot after that took some time (thought it had broken something lol) but it eventually got there.
One thing you should probably note in OP is that the animations are now changed (looks like CyanogenMod's...?). Personally I don't mind but I think some people would prefer the stock animations which are slightly less fancy.
Now if only I could get the launcher menu to fade in or pop up smoothly as opposed to having it just appear...

Like I said in my first post in this thread, there probably was already a version like the one I had in mind, but (admittedly quick) searching didn't reveal anything.
That said I prefer the iconset in the v2 version here over the one you linked. Larger numbers and a bit clearer from what I see.

[Q] CRT animation on Phone-Bricker 2.0.1

On Phone-Bricker 2.0.1 I've noticed the CRT off animation doesn't always work correctly. After the animation plays, the screen will sometimes flash quickly before going completely dark.
This might be a common issue (there's some discussion in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505230), but is there any way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to disable the CRT animation?
I noticed this with SHOstock2. I'm not a fan of the CRT animation in general (I always disable it), so I wasn't 100% sure GB wasn't the same. I'm expecting issues like this for a while in the ICS builds. I don't think any of the devs have posted a disable zip yet.

I'm not a huge fan either, but I don't mind it as long as it works properly
I guess I'll have to live with it until I can find a disable zip

Yeah, if I have to choose between ICS with slightly buggy CRT animation or GB, I can live with the little bug. I guess this is just the universe's way of forcing some patience on me.

I too am anxious to get rid of the CRT off from Shostock2. Always strikes me as overly flashy, ala HTC Sense UI (though I believe it actually originated with Motorola)

I don't even have CRT off modded yet.
So I assume you have a theme from the i9100 section, only way to turn it off is to remove the theme or wait for me to make a restore file when I add CRT.
But this is a common issue with ICS.
I found a way to turn off the CRT animation. It probably turns off other animations, but I can't notice what else changed.
Settings > Developer options > Window animation scale > animation is off.
The transition animations are different, and can be left on.

CRT off must be from Vertumus's theme then. I'll look for how to disable it over in his thread.

I think that setting affects window animation speed. Try setting it to 10x, then try opening some menus or adding a widget to your homescreen. You should see the menus appear a lot slower now.

Just set windows animation scale to 0.5x. In cm9, this disabled crt effect and increased other "window animations" by 2x. But in reality almost all other animations are "transition animations" so you won't even notice any difference.

Now that you mention that, I remember trying it, just not the menus in the home screen. I did notice the difference it makes to unlock the phone. The lock screen is also a "window" I guess.

Setting it to 0.5 will not double the times, it will half them. Its a multiplier vs a divisor. But yeah, it seems the Transition animation is the vast majority of animations.

Many thanks for this! I've been trying to find how to remove this to take advantage of "NoLED" on the market. Works great!
I don't know if this is even possible, but after almost 5 days running the 2.1 update, the flash on the crt animation is gone. I don't know how... the first night and day, I was getting the random re-flash of the screen after the crt animation, but I haven't noticed this happening in the past couple days. No idea...

Its random sometimes it doesn't happen to me all day then the next day it happens every screen off.
Yeah, I got up this lovely Easter morning, and I am getting the flash back on the animation, I shouldn't have said anything. I did notice my problem is only when I am on the lockscreen, hit the power button, check the time or whatever, then hit power again to sleep, THAT'S when I get the flash, if I am on any other screen and want to sleep the screen, I don't get the flash back. Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen...
BY THE WAY, LiLChris, you are the effing man, thanks so much for this bad ass rom!

[Q] Boot speed for your rom (Particularly peetr_'s)

I'm just curious what type of boot speed people are getting from their roms.
See I used a CM7 based rom for a long while, and it got great (re)boot speed, but I switched to peetr_'s for more stability (specifically the camera)
However, (these are not exact) his rom seems to take around 2 minutes to boot, its a bit frustrating, though not hugely, I'm just curious if something is wrong with my setup or maybe the files.
Feel free to post your boot speeds for any other roms too, just in case anyone has this question later.

What type of mods are we talking about? If its like the ics theme flashed to peetrs rom, then yes (just today I might add so it can have nothing to do with the speed) other than that, nope.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Each stock based rom booting time is related to the number of installed apps. There is a feature, that checks all apps for libraries and maybe something else. I haven't found, how to turn off this feature.
Thanks for that info peetr, that would make perfect sense (I used a flash with no additional apps for about a day, the difference was quite clear)

Mine takes about a minute to get to the lock screen then an additional 10-15sec for rest of OS/launcher to load fully. I have Planter's ICS theme on top of Peetr_s v20 rom along with the bravia engine, beats audio, and holo locker installed. I also have about 50-60 apps installed but am not quite sure which ones need to be loaded in any way during start up. The bone stock v20 rom was much quicker though.

One question off the topic. you have mentioned that u have holo locker also installed do you have the issue of getting two lockscreens (i.e after unlocking the holo locker the default locker shows up) ?
My boot time is 35 seconds. Couldn't be prouder. This is JB 4.1.2 with a ton of apps/games. It's not meant to be optimized. It's just good. The other phone is my wife's, unmodified Electrify. Boots in 1 minute 54 seconds. This is the superior performance Motorola says is better than ICS. Because 2 minute boot times are cool, haha. (Actually 2 minutes ain't bad, they never need to be rebooted... 35 seconds is just so much better.)

when i first boot my phone it doesnt show up unless i let it sit at the lock screen for about 10 seconds. i'd imagine that this happens because it is in fact an app that needs to load before it will override the stock lock screen. now on the other hand if i have a security pattern that i am using to unlock the phone, the security screen THEN the holo locker would show up everytime. i simply disable my security pattern unless i'm going out for the night or something.

[Q] Screen Stuttering

I was on the stock rooted rom for the last 3.16 RUU and I started having a screen stuttering appear when I change homescreens and when I'm in the app drawer the icons appear to move and the text appears to be a split second behind it and then they snap into place. I re-flashed the phone with one of the stock rooted roms based off of the latest OTA. I also updated the firmware and I'm S-OFF via DirtyRacun.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like it's having trouble refreshing or drawing the icons in the app drawer as they are fuzzy (like lines missing in the icons or a monitor refreshing) for a second and then come into focus.
First, does anyone have any idea why I would have this issue? If I reboot it goes away and works perfect, but after a little bit, it comes back. I checked the RAM and CPU and they seem fine with plenty of room left.
Second, could anyone recommend a solid ROM that is pretty much stock? I don't mind a few tweaks and such, I just want something really solid. Any good recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me out with some advice? Any ideas of what could be causing this or a ROM I should try to see if it fixes the problem?
