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.

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.

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!

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

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?

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.

Hmmm it appears you are correct, my apologies.
wenn i change the config_animateScreenLights from true to false, i have on Galaxy S2 and Note a TV (CRT) Effekt on shutdown the device.
In the big new Frameworrk is this tweak useless.
How do I get the CRT effect again? In systemUI, apk?

The .so file needs editing.
In S2 also the .so file was problematic and Tungstwenty if I remember correct his name he fixed it.So someone needs to take care of this too.
Cyanogen Team was the first who fixed this ,and probably they will do it again

Ok.. If u disable or change your stock lockscreen and use screen off and lock (from market) you can tweak the animation settings to 'old TV style'. Its what i'm doing for the crt effect

Our stock lockscreen doesn't play nice with apps that can turn the s3 screen off. Probably a touchjizz 'feature'. To answer the previous post question.. No it doesn't work with the power button. Just an app to do the same task.
Blame the faulty power button issue the nexus one had,i've grown paranoid of using hardware buttons, fearing they become faulty from heavy usage.

I am on Beans 18. I found the screen rotation takes about 2 seconds to react no matter which kernel I use (always with default setting only).
Can we have the iOS like speedy screen rotation without sacrificing the battery life?
Thank you for your comments.
EDIT: Found out why: the lag comes from the "Smart Rotation", because it takes time to detect the face/eyes.
Turn it off and the rotation is so fast now!

Thanks for you reply, but I was using the latest MeanBean and the rotation speed wasn't very speedy. And I am on Beans now and the speed isn't good enough either. That's why I have this question.
edit: For speed, I wonder if we can be as speedy as the iPhones.
Grab "Spate Parts+" from the store and St animations to fast and see if that gets you any closer to the speed your looking for. And also in settings developer settings make sure the transitions are set to .5 on the first 2 and 1.0 on the 3rd. See if that helps if it's not already set there.

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried both but didn't get the "instant" speed I need. The screen takes about 2 seconds to rotate. I also tried to turn all the 3 animations off, but the speed was the same- just the transition effect was different.
