For those of you who don't know exactly what the CRT animation is, it is the animation that Gingerbread uses when you press the power button and the screen gives a neat power off effect.
Well I wanted this. A lot. So I went out and did it. Just enabled it, and it looks gorgeous on my phone.
Please note, that you must be rooted in order to use this, and on Gingerbread.
It is a straightforward process.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES ADB AND JAVA TO BE INSTALLED
A good idea to nandroid before this, as if something goes wrong it can screw up a lot of things.
Installation 1:
Download DX2-CRT-Animation.zip
Copy to sdcard
Flash in CWR
BIG THANKS TO p3droid FOR PACKAGING AS A ZIP
Installation 2 (the complicated, make you feel cooler, hardcore, original way):
This is modifying your framework-res so some themes may not work any longer.
Instructions:
[]Have phone plugged into computer, and in Charge Mode.
[]Download DX2-CRT-Animation.apk
[]Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT-Animation.apk's location. (This can be accomplished by shift clicking on the folder where this resides, and clicking open command prompt here).
[]Push files onto the phone
Code:
adb push DX2-CRT-Animation.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
[]Get shell access
Code:
adb shell
su
---When you enter this, make sure your phone is awake, as a Super User access allow/deny will pop up. Allow it.
In command prompt, you should now have a #.
[]Remove and copy files to proper location, reboot
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Whats next:
-Reverse CRT animation (hopefully!!!)
Any input is appreciated.
I am new to this. Give me your input, and help me get better.
Works great! Thanks!
I think everything is working as it should with crt animation working.
Directions worked well, I just had to change how I got into adb.
Great job.
This is awesome, however I'm a little confused. I'm no beginner by any means, but this looks to be outside the realm of what I've done.
When I go into the terminal, am I doing this from my computer? Or my phone (via Terminal Emulator)?
Here is what I'm thinking, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
Download apk
Enter terminal emulator
Type in all of your commands
Voila?
Sorry for all the newbness on this, but I'm dying for some CRT.
Thanks man!
Nevermind, I'm a fail.
I'm downloading the Android and Java SDK now.
I downloaded the necessary files. I can't get the first part to work.
"Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT Animation.apk's location.
Can you explain this step more? I tried right-clicking...
People set up there adb differently. Important thing is to copy file to the directory of where your adb tools are. In my case its
/sdk/platform-tools
Hope this helps

Couldn't get it to work. Even had the IT guy from my work try to get it going. We couldn't get the terminal to find swt.jar
Is it possible for me to do this through root explorer, all through my phone? Change permissions and push it into the correct folder?
That would be awesome.
I am out of town but when I get back I will try to package a zip to flash.
Are you on linux?
If I can elaborate for you here:
When you download the apk, copy it to your documents folder. The use the cd command to change the directory to your documents folder. This is assuming you have your path files set up correctly. Hope this helps!

Haha, it doesn't help. I'm clueless man. A zip file, or instructions on how to do it SOLELY from my phone (using root explorer) would be all I know.
Dying for this
I think you just need adb.
Nice work man! I'm on my way home to hook this up. This is a good excuse for me to get the Android SDK set up on my home machine.

can someone make this a file that I can flash in recovery?
I love this animation, but I have a mac and can't get this to work.
thanks

I've spent all day trying to get it to work. No dice.
Would love a zip as well...
Well, I tried both download links in the original post and each time it would successfully boot up but no CRT animation. I finally got it figured out as I have the X2 spare parts installed and had to turn off fancy input animations and now it works. Thanks for posting this.
EDIT: I take that back. I had to put the speed of transition animations to normal and can have fancy input animations enabled. For some reason this won't work when "fast" is checked.

Do you have a pc?
I just put his file is /android-sdk-windows/tools
And followed his commands.
Just got this working. Thanks again to OP. I love this animation. Reverse would be cool. Or like a really old school crt that that has to warm up and slowly fades in. Haha.

Do you have to have the Android SDK kit? With the Java JDK? I could not get that to work at all...

Nope. I just have the android sdk installed. The adb is not included in the dl from google so you have to dl and extract that into the android-sdk-windows/tools
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RTEY0Q97
Then do the steps from beginning and test to confirm your device is recognized
Then proceed and follow the steps.

Why link to mega upload when all you need to do is launch the sdk manager and add the platform tools package? I'd rather get my software from the distro than some megaupload. No offense.

Hey guys. So I have android kitchen extracted into /home/computername/Android.
I open terminal, cd to /home/computername/ and type ./menu and get no such file or directory. What am I doing wrong here?
Hmmm, right click menu.sh goto permissions and make sure execute is enabled.

Navigate all the way into the kitchen. Since you extracted to /home/computername/Android you need to navigate to /home/computername/Android not /home/computername/

Not should, it WILL work.
Please keep the forums clean by posting in the relevant thread rather than starting a new one. Also the kitchen FAQ has your answer.
how do you open up an sbf file to look inside it? I can't find the answer on the app to use successfully. Also, I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 if that helps any, thanks!
I was under the impression these files are encrypted and really can't be opened up per say. I could certainly be wrong though.

there was a way on windows to open it up and look at it's contents, but now that i've switched to Linux I can't seem to find something that'll open it up.
I'm pretty sure it's just ./<sbf file> just make sure you cd to it in terminal

First install the drivers for your phone. Then just download the attachment and extract it. open the extracted folder "adb" and double click the cmd.exe shortcut .
You will have working adb and fastboot.
Download : adb.zip

Extract the AndroidControl folder out of it to the root of your hard drive.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder.
Run adb commands

Tarball or zip up that android folder by right clicking on it - choose compression method - when done move to your HDD. Then uncompress, CD into android/system then your done.
