I was wondering how to get the CRT animation for turning off the display. I found something here

P.S. I have Siyah kernel 3.2.3. and stock Samsung ICS rom.
CRT off effect Galaxy SG2
You can do this by decompiling your framework-res.apk then edit the bools xml file in the values folder.
Change this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool
to this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool
recompile the framework folder
extract the recources.arsc from your recompile framework-res apk and using vrtheme to install back to your phone
I am assuming you know how to decompile / recompile and add to a flashable zip

Check the themes section, it has at least two threads for crt-off effects.

Hello Developers,
I want to know how to add the data toggle in notification.
I saw the need to change SystemUI.apk (xml and Smali) but this does not seem to be enough because I have the CF's.
Can you tell me more?
Thank you!
yes please
Yeah i was under the impression that it's Kernel/ROM dependent but its a massive feature im missing coming from a HTC desire running CM7 and im not up for testing the CM nightlies with a new baby to look after just in case my wife needs me asap lol
Please What do not say how to add the data toggle

Wrong thread. You can find out more on " Samsung Galaxy S2 Q&A"
No one answers in Q & A as seems to be the case here.
Why no one wants to unravel the mystery
cerede2000 is right, this is a key feature, that I personally would love to see, on a stockish sgs2 rom.
I've recently noticed the appearance of the data toggle, which was promising, but no way to customise.
perhaps now that the devs are getting more stable roms they could delve further into this?
Ah one can dream.
Hold power button... Data off. hehe
Otherwise, I think Cognition ROM has it.
Yes Cognition have it
But i would add to my stock rom
Juste need answer at what files modified for add data toggle ?
Thanks!

Posted on your other thread in Q&A... It's in SystemUI.apk, can't say where though.
I try to modify SystemUI.apk in smali files but have FC's
Are you sure is just SystemUI.apk ?
I do not understand when I put directly SystemUI.apk of Cognition ROM it works well.
However when I change my ROM from my stock SystemUI.apk XXKG3 j'obtient one of FC's SystemUI.apk.
Please help me.
Here is my SystemUI.apk : http://www.multiupload.com/15QBK0IX9U
What is wrong with my SystemUI changed.
Thank you!
The reason is that your stock ROM is odexed and the other is deodexed.
This thread should be in the Q&A section.
Absolutely not! I deodex my rom...
Please look at my SystemUI.apk to tell me if something is wrong.
Thank you

I didn't saw your nor cognition SystemUI.apk. but pushing the .png is not enough.
You should have to edit and modify .xml (baksmali) :
quickpanel_quick_settings.xml in /res/layout/
ids.xml and string.xml in res/values
don't touch to public.xml as it is auto generated when recompilation with APK_Manager
Not tested, but you should compare the files above

I not only added the png. I changed the xml files and smali files.
I edit by hand public.xml.
I'll let ApkManager do I see if I have no FC's.
Great! It's work!
We had to do to just let ApkManager public.xml!

Wrong answer...
You could be right, but no...
That are not the default themes...
I think you should drag and drop the files from your theme into the framework file and compile and sign. That should do it.
Or do you mean a theme enabled by default but not default theme?

Try wipe cache and dalvik, and sign correctly. I admit that it is strange.
Greets!
Edit: did you sign, compile?
Greets!
Hi,
check for what exactly ?
there is nothing special .. as I said .. if I flash the ROM and the theme separately then every thing is ok ...
all I did was replace the files in the zip..and then I get stucj at bootanimation.
I didn't sign or compile...
I have a theory : the SystemUI has a battery percentage and the apk has new files in it... could it be the problem ?

First: to clarify;
you have a couple APKs for your Tab.
You place them in a flashable zip, flash, bootblock
you have a ROM for your Tab,
you grab the .zip, and replace the theme APKs, flash, and it works?
THat is really strange...
Hi,
thanks for answering me mDroidd ...
I found the problem.. it is the SystemUI.apk
I copied all the theme files to my ROM zip except that file and the device boot ok.
why does this file need to be flashed in a separate zip ?
is there another way ?

Maybe it had something to do with permissions our something?
If you override the systemui manually, does it work? Can your send me you're updater script?
Greets!
I saw lots of theme which has this in their title. but I can't find any guide or tutorial about this. So, what is this? how could I use it? has it any benefit over usual "decompile/theme/recompile/replace"ing an apk?Is there any script to implement it like apktool?
Its the universal theme flasher created by Villain ROM.
As for all your other questions I'm not sure.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
thanks,
correct me if I'm worng pls.
Universal theme flasher, is kind of template. and I should extract compiled PNGs and xmls from apk file and paste theme into that. and for editing theme, I need to paste and replace those files into the apk file and then decompile that apk.
then what should I do if I changed something in "values" folder? cause it just appears in decompiled apps and It can't be seen in a compiled app.

I think after compiling the apk, you should copy the "classes" and the other file *-) I can remember its name, and add them there.
Am not sure *-) I had this question too but I thought abt trying it first and if it doesnt work I wld ask. I have no time to try I have exams

classes.dex is for the smali that has been edited if there was any.
I assume that if the xmls were edited and they point to new PNG images/objects then the resources has been changed. I would say that in this case you would need to have an updated resources file for these adjustments? This could be pulled from your newly compiled .apk that you want to base your flashable theme off?
I am unsure if resources needs to be updated though for certain? I have flashed in the past new xmls and they worked fine, however these were not referencing any new sources or images...so my thoughts are that these mods I made didn't require this additional file?? I could be wrong. I really should read the thread about it here on XDA. I did a long time ago, but have come a long way since then.
I diverse. Try using it without new resources file and see what happens?
You may also like to looking into Morphing as well (very similar concept).

That means the .9 pangs were made wrong. This happens when some tries to take the easy way to theme things. You will not be able to compile it until you fix them

Yes its because of the theme. If yo look at each file it says is broken you will have to remake all those .9.pngs properly. A search will teach you how to do it. You will need the android SDK installed for sure for the .9.png tool.

You either have to edit the .9.png files with the draw9patch.bat file located in \android-sdk\tools.. and copy basically the pixel borders - put up two windows side by side - one stock and the one you are editing. And make sure you only have one new copy of that file in your drawable folder when done.. no normal .png's of the same name.
Or you could just "borrow" those .9.png files from another rom and use GIMP to basically edit the color only and save... just don't decompile them - use 7zip instead.

Editing a .9 png like that is not the prper way to do it. He will just have issues if he tries to decompile it again. This is why alot o themes break when people try to decompile them to learn.
Take some time out OP and learn how to do it properly. The easy way is never right.

Which way is not proper? The 2nd suggestion was not intended to be a proper way, but it can work.. and the first way I suggested is what I would consider a good way to learn how to draw the patches - by comparison with known working ones..
EDIT - please elaborate on the not being able to decompile it again later though - I was aware of this issue and had come across it - but never new the cause.
EDIT 2 - I just noticed your stats - please share your seasoned wisdom... I have got a lot to learn yet...
Ok, i have a better way to do what i want, i jzut want to edif bools.xml inside values folder, so ill apply default theme, decompile and edit, and then i replace it.

Ok the 1 px boarder around the image has to be the last thing applied to an image. You can edit it with gimp and 7zip but that breaks the border settings. This is the reason most .9.pngs break when decompiled.
Hey guys just wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction to a apktool that is working on the s3.
I've attempted to extract and set the framework.apk and decompile systemui.apk, which worked fine but when compiling the modded file I'm getting errors..
Wont compile with out any modifications either..
Any tips and comments will be appreciated... excuse my grammer as I'm writing this on my phone.
I managed to recompile framework-res.apk with apk tool however it boot looped so not convinced.
Do you have to decompile with dependencies with samsung frameworks?

Thanks for the tip, although not being able to recompile SystemUI.apk is a different issue all together..
Iv tried setting framework.apk & twframework-res.apk from the stock firmware which came with my phone.. attempted to compile.. fails.
Iv got a feeling this is going to be something silly..
EDIT: Something has come to mind, iv only ever been able to decompile systemUI for CM9 based roms.. forgot were working with stock Samsung.. last time I had this issue I hit a brick wall pretty much apktool couldnt decompile sammy systemUI .. this may have changed.

There was a way of doing it where there was one apktool.jar for decompile and another for recompile. It seemed to work for me but it was not successful.
I'll create my own thread.
I need some help on this too. APKTOOL is not taking if apktool framework-res.apk in CMD. Any ideas? I'm just trying to decompile SystemUI.apk, lol. It shouldn't be this hard.
I have a big problem.
When i use untouched original framework-res and systemui, i can decompile and compile but only when i made no changes.
when i got the framework-res and systemui from my checkrom to mod some xmls ican decompile. but i can not compile
I`ve a look to my pathes but there correct.

apktool work fine here!
i guess you should mount twframework-res.apk in apktool
Code:
apktool if twframework-res.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk
I've managed to compile both SystemUI and framework-res using APK manager for ICS.
Sometimes when you try to use a FW res or system ui from a custom or themed rom you will get errors because of the customizations they made to them. That's why a lot of time they will tell you to start with a stock fw or systemui.
For example, when I tried to recompile a themed FW res (JB domination) I got errors, when I used a stock "virgin" copy it was fine.
