Whatever happened to the CRT On? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see all the time new Roms come out and I see people tout that they've added the CRT Off animation to their rom.
You know I was talking to my friend the other day about the CRT animations and you know, he didnt even know it existed!!
Gingerbread did include both animartions why has everyone forogttenn about the other animation?

It still exists and optional on some roms. Problem is it had a nasty effect of reverting the screen in some situations which causes most cooks to skip it.

CRT Effect: Screen ON animation???

Hi guys.
Ok i have CRT sreen off animation, but the same effect with on screen should be perfect.

sure but we don`t have that yet...
but even wiht that we have off screen animation. so why not on screen too?
I think it likely needs to be reversed in code which is why you don't have it yet until cyanogen gets ported.
ah glad to hear heres hoping for cyanogen to be ported quickly or for it to be added to villian rom
Does anyone know what the status on this if. I really love the off effect and would like to know how to make it occur when turning on too. I am ready to mod, just need instructions like this thread for the off effect: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109363

[Q] CRT Animation on/off on SG2

I just installed the Litening ROM for my Galaxy S2 I9100...
It has the Gingerbread CRT off animation, but it doesnt have the ON animation!
That kinda feels unfinished; and I saw videos online of how the CRT animation works BOTH ways! Is there any way for me to get the animation for /on as well?!
Please let me know!
Cheers!!!
Hmmm.... I didn't see CRT ON animations yet. CRT off animation was in Nexus S first of all and that doesn't have CRT ON animation even. Actually, that animation is like a fade out transition and won't seems nice to be a fade in animation.

Naw mate; there "IS" a CRT ON animation as well!
Search "Android CRT Animation" on youtube; (Cant post links yet coz I am new here)
Thats the one I want as well... Could anyone tell me a way around this?
CRT on animation was something you could switch on in Cyanogenmod settings iirc.
Not sure if it relies on the CM framework or anything though.
yes CRT on animation is part of cyanogen ROM. just have to wait till that ROM is available for the SGS2.

The Cyanogen mod IS coming for SG2 though isnt it?! I did see the thread on development...
But I'm quite happy with Litening... Lets see if its there in the next version
But there's no OTHER way to?
Development of CM7 for the Galaxy S II is underway. See the thread in the android development section for more details.
not sure if it's possible to enable it via another method... depends if the CRT on animation depends on the CM framework.
The stock android has just a screen off animation. And that's realistic i think. I can't remember that our tv had this effect when we started it. Just a long time black and then the picture appeared emidiatly

Had both anims on my HTC Desire running Insertcoins Sense 2.1+3.0 so it definitely not CM only...

[Q] How to speed up the CRT Screen off animation on CM7

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.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
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] Resurrection Remix ics v1.0 ISSUE, SCREEN FLICKER

The rom is overall a great experience.
But on all versions i tried including the latest... When i lock the phone using the lock button the screen goes dark as it is supposed to, then there is an annoying flicker ( screen flashes back on and off ) for 0.5s.
Kernel issue?
any advice ?plz..
Factory reset
Flash rom again
Assuming you have checked the roms post .
jje
i have.... many times.
And the zip file is a full wipe nwy....
Still same issue
having this bug on spike too!! , it could be due to the way the current crt off animations are implemented.

i was thinking the same thing.. the crt off is an animation, so the delay between it and the actual screen turning off is a bit off-set. No biggie for me.
you guys are probably correct.....
It is a bit annoying...
It doesnt always happen..... But still annoying. :/

hey man im on resurrection ics remix 1.0 too and i've had the same annoying flicker since v9.4. after some research i learned that it is a known issue. so all we can do is wait for an update.
i love the crt off animation , and i hate that its not working well...
Yes... it is a known issue.
I tried the rom on multiple galaxy s2 I9100.
2 of them just out of the box....
And still get the same issue....
i have the animation off now using gabowinter crt animation off .zip file...
Will keep u posted if anything comes up.
if someone come across a solution , do post it here

[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.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using XDA
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.

Ah sorry I didn't mean to blame you
CRT off must be from Vertumus's theme then. I'll look for how to disable it over in his thread.

Thanks for this.
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.

Right, I should have said double the speed, not double the time of window 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!
