Hi all. I am hoping to get some help removing the CRT screen on/off animation from Slade's CM6 v.3. I think the animation makes the phone feel sluggish, like it can't just wake up quickly. Anyways, thanks for any help! Should I maybe post this in the dev forum?

Can't you disable it through the cyanogenmod settings?
nope. i think in version 2 or so of this rom the option did appear in the cyanogen mod settings, but not this one! im sure it cant be too hard to re-enable the setting...can anyone help!? haha thanks!
Settings > Display > Animation > No / Some / All ?
Nah, that setting is just for animations within the OS. The CRT screen on/off animation was hard baked into the rom by Slade, I believe. The setting I referred to before was found in Cyanogenmod Settings. I don't know why it's not available in this version of the rom.

We are talking about the same setting. I have it in slade87's 2.3 rom. I guess hard baking was used as well.
yes, the screen on/off animation was hard baked into v. 3 of the rom. i believe it was option in v.2. shouldn't it be possible to just make a hotfix to remove it?
Hi guys.
Ok i have CRT sreen off animation, but the same effect with on screen should be perfect.
Do u guys agree?

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
Hi people.
sorry video got bad quality.,hard to see
To see what I talking about, first do a test to see bug
Hold HOME button and press POWER button.
The phone will do screenshot. After just press "power" button again
....ops what is that ?
To FIX:
delete from system/app
ScreenCaptureService.apk
(by deleting that apk you remove screenshoot apllication witch is make -CRT animation laggy all time)
and restart the phone.
problem solved

My CRT animation has no lag. The pixelation effect is the bug that needs to be solved. Also, you can temporarily fix the pixel-effect when installing LCD Density and set it to 240 (it already is set to this I know) and press apply.
Your device will reboot and the pixel-effect is gone, but now it looks all white. It should not look like this either.

I'm on stock kg1. I renamed the file last night, rebooted and it kinda worked - blank screen before screen-off, which isn't right either. But then this morning, the pixelated screen-off is BACK!!!! I renamed the file back to its original name, and guess what - blank screen before screen-off again.

The LCD Density trick dosen't work. I try this. And I think this was the solution.. but after i change the position from an app in app drawer from Go Launcher EX I get the pixeled-laggy CRT Effect back.
Yesterday i remove the ScreenCaputre.apk and restarted. I was happy to have the real CRT effect from Nexus S.
But now i try to change in Settings the 2G -> Networtk to 3G. go back. switch off the display and boooooooooooom CRT Pixeled-Laggy effect si BACK.
I try both, to delete the screen capture and to setup the density.. Both was fail. thumbs down.
I am at Litening ROM 1.5 with Blue steel Theme. I will switch all animations off so i never get the ****ing CRT pixel Bug.
EDIT:
Here is my CRT Bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcFs_m2JIzg
Once more, removing the ScreenCapture apk REMOVES the pixel-effect.
It does NOT make the CRT animation look like it should!!
"Assumed fixed CRT" - The CRT animation people consider as the 'fixed' one is just a white flash.
"Supposed fixed CRT" - How the CRT animation should look, is different, you see the image displayed on your screen being ripped appart in red/green/blue and fade to the middle.
Take a close look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lv1p4TvRw4
In the video, you see the large clock actually being sucked to the middle, this is how it is supposed to look. I am just trying to make this clear

Yesterday i removed the screen capture and today i have the PIXEL Bug.. the pixel look like chess field.. like my Video witch i have posted..
Just tested it..
Removing screencapture.apk doesn't solve the CRT bug (pixel effect) at all .
And moreover, why should it? Bug appears even when you dont launch that app. I personally never use screencapture.apk . But still have the bug...
It looks like that everyone here who were patient enough to wait and see if bug comes back, rather than reporting at once that it works, still have this problem...
This thread seems to be a bit misleading... Isn't it?

LOL I think the screen capture function is more important than some digital blocking for .5 seconds....LOL
I only "discovered" this as the "CRT BUG" today....... Not worth fixing IMO Especially by removing function.

"Off-topic: Should I release my super-light stock ROM? (no, it's not the same with Wolfbreak's and others, it is very light with minimal tweak/modification)"
yes you should.
Nice work man,
Haven't tested extensively, but in the 10 mins or so I've been playing with this ROM on my wife's phone, it's been just as GV is on my Desire - fast, smooth and pleasant to use.
The only bug to report is quiet audio recording using the videocamera but this seems to be present in all X10 ROMs ATM (WB/Ultima/TEAM/Superoxygen/Ewjet), so is certainly not a criticism of this ROM - if that could be fixed though, then this ROM would be perfect (hint hint!!)
A great release, thank you for this
- Works on either locked/unlocked bootloader
Yeah, i have a locked bootloader...so that made me happy.
I loved spaarc original one, and so if this is that with fixes and what not....I will definatley love this one. Only problem so far...is on DoomKernel battery seems to be draining rather fast...will reboot wipe stuff and edit post with update.
EDIT: after reboot and wiping ...seems good again. If not will use default one...cuz rom is fast enough with or without custom kernel.
Nice rom there. always wanted to see malysian chef.. *flashing* will report if got bug.
I just installed your ROM and so far I am happy with it. I have been trying all kinds of ROM this week on both my handset.
Would unlocking the BL allows this to run better?
Is it possible to put a std SEMC camera program?
How much free memory do we really need?
Thx.
Whenever battery percentage changes whole notification bar flickers. This is of course with cyanogenmod statusbar tweaks battery percentage shown.
Phone gets hot when doing things like browsing and playing games. Battery was usually cool with spaarc original cm7 barebones version.
Wifi sometimes never reconnects. Manually have do it through settings.
Are you going to maintain this rom or was this a one time update....I would like for you to continue working on this.....if possible thanks
What happened to your Leaf ROM? Or is that ROM is the one you wanted to release?
Hey, post some screenshot lah !

1. No, it doesn't.
2. No, it's not possible so far.
3. Not much. Shouldn't be any problems since this ROM is smaller than most ROMs out there.

1. Does this notification bar flickering happen in the original GV ROM?
2. I don't get that problem myself, so I can't check.
3. Same as above
4. If I find something I can fix, I will update it.

It is originally for the Wildfire (Leaf r3) but since I switched to the X10, I thought I'd make one. So yes, that's the ROM I wanted to release.
Oh, and, stuff will go slow since I've got my final exam trials going on.
Also, if you guys use DooMKernel, battery will drain fast since deep sleep is not working in the current version.
What do you mean DooMKernel has drainage? You mean unlocked devices would have battery drainage?

Unlocked bootloaders and running a custom kernel are two different things.
Unlocking the bootloader itself won't do anything. It's caused by the custom kernel you were able to install due to the unlocked bootloader.
I have no idea if original gv rom does the flickering unless you are talking about the first one by spaarc, and then the answer is no. Not that I remember. Also seems as if battery drains fast the first 5%....I'm on doomkernel so u can ignore that. Could add torch cuz if I flash it all it does is force close everytime.
Edit: just after posting this comment got wlod. Happened on spaarcs original one as well, same situation.

RE the torch,
If you get the torch.apk and add it to the ROM zip (system\app), then reflash the ROM, the torch works fine, even from the widget button in the notification bar.
RE the battery/WLOD,
Using stock kernel the battery life is really good and no WLOD or even force closes. The ROM runs really smooth
I will hit thanks when at PC. So far so good with your instructions.
Edit. When playing music it stutters sometimes.....annoying. flashed audio fix...better now.
Battery drain on stock seems alright...will give it a couple of days. No wlod so far.
Thought I would make this a new post, to bump this ROM/thread up.
EDIT 2: Okay battery life is now back to being wonderful. On stock kernel. Still quite fast. Audio stuttering can be SORTA fixed with audio lag fix zip by Z. No WLOD so far, probably had WLOD due to being on DoomKernel (never overclocked it though).
-Maybe add torch to ROM, I added it to the ROM zip like wildcardspv said to do...and it works.
-WiFi pain in the butt. Will NOT reconnect to WiFi after disconnected while in deep sleep. I have to manually go in and reconnect.
-Possibly add some extra governors...such as SmartASS v2, InteractiveX.
-Notification bar flickers when battery percentage changes.
-Any use of a live wallpaper slows down ROM alot.
Tried to think of other things. But to be honest...can't. This ROM is actually one of the best ones out there. WiFi is my only BIG gripe...but apart from that kinda perfect.
For the wifi issue, have you set wifi sleep policy to never? (Settings, wireless and networks, wifi settings, menu, advanced, wifi sleep policy, never) - had my wifes set like this and no wifi problem.
She also had the audio stutter and unfortunately its for that reason she's had to come away from this rom for now and gone back to spaarc's superoxygen 2.0.3 which is almost identical but haven't experienced any problems with it at all (using stock kernel).

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!
