sure no problem please make sure your framework-res.apk has crt working before doing any buildprop edits. if you dont' have crt off animation working then go to framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. download apk manager for your computer to modify this. once there then follow instructions to putting these files into place here for moding folder. open apk manager press 22 then enter then select framework-res.apk and then do i believe 10 to decompile apk with dependencies then it'll ask you for dependencies then drag twframework into the apk manager screen and press enter and that should decompile the apk then go into projects folder and from there go to framework-res.apk then res folder then go into values folder then bools folder.for next step you need notepad ++ if you can download that once done then right click onto bools.xml and open with notepad ++ after that once opened go to the line where it says screen animation where it says true change that to false. once done save and close it. then go into apk manager then press 11 to compile apk and once done that then it'll ask you if its a system.apk then type Y and enter and it'll do its stuff then it'll ask you to go to keep folder in apk manager folder where u went for you projects. once in keep folder then delete resource.xml b/c u edited a xml file. once done then go back to apk manager and press enter and it'll have a unsignedframework-res.apk ready for you take that to desktop rename it to framework-res.apk and find a signed zip online either from modaco website or ask anyone that has some info for. and create a framework folder then place your framework-res.apk into it and drag it to the zip and you're done. send it back to your phone and go into cwm and flash it and you're good to go. then go into build.prop and add line debug.composition.type=gpu and then save your build.prop and reboot phone and you got crt animation off with smooth butter :D

for those that have crt animation go to buildprop and edit this line

debug.composition.type=c2d to debug.composition.type=gpu

again if anyone can write better instructions to it feel free and i'll pin it right onto top.. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projeqht:
I noticed that there are different types of CRT screen off animations (IE. CM7 screen off CRT vs Sky ICS screen off CRT).

Is one or the other "smoother"? For me, both seem to blink off smooth, but I did prefer the Cm7 one over the SkyICS one.

Has anyone else noticed this? Also, anyone have CRT ON for Sky ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
mm if u notice it smooths it out just like you said but if you look @ seans and other's rom crt off you'll see it shut downs slowly but with this its faster because its using gpu power to control the animation rather then cores..

gimme little bit of time :O i feel like im jumping alot of things all @ once >_< im gonna look to get crt animation on within couple of days or so again can't promise but i'l bring it soon..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projeqht:
NP man take your time, I was just wondering if it was available or not :P

So this mod doesn't actually change your ROM's CRT off animation correct? It just changes the settings so that your phone uses GPU instead of core power for the graphics?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
this mod just smooths out crt animation to feel smooth on turning off screen rather then pixel shut off type which roms are using here.. and exactly like u said . but yes i'll do it as soon as i can. thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projeqht:
Hey Wali I tried out your Mod last night on Seans Sky ICS ROM after being unsatisfied by the "unsmooth" CRT OFF animation. I did what you said:

1) Pulling build.prop with ADB

2) Edit the line: debug.composition.type=c2d to debug.composition.type=gpu

3) Pushing build.prop to my sd card with ADB

4) Used Busy box to copy the new build.prop over to internal storage /system/build.prop, over writing the old one.

Gotta say it does look much better, this is exactly what I was looking for that I was missing from other ROMs like Cm7. Now the CRT OFF animation looks like its animated better.

It's not exactly "smoother", as when the CRT Off animation was powered by c2d the shut off animation was still smooth, but the GPU version enhances it too look much "nicer".

Thanks for the tip Wali! Great work as always ;) Keep it up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Master&Slave™:
to enable the CRT off animation just decompile the framework, open up the bools file and search for something like animate_screen_lights....make sure that value is false and re compile and viola. Your kernel should be able to handle the animation, Kernels with higher clock speeds tend to better

CRT ON

Thank you wali01x for posting the smooth crt animation! But I have one question. Is it possible to get the crt on animation along with the crt off? (Is this available?)

Thank you for your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
hey well i looked into it after this stuff and from what i understood crt on animation has alot of problems such as brigtness jumping to wayy too bright and other stuff as rotation issues, so thats why no wonder no one's implimenting it atm..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aznwongsta23:
Thank you for the reply. I understand what you mean. It would be nice though once all the problems level off. I sold my htc inspire and I loved the crt off/on animation I had with it. Well thank you again

Hi,

I want 4.0.3 but I don't want all the stuff chefs are adding. Unless that stuff is not noticeable at all. Basically I'm looking for battery improvement for my stock ROM.

What ROM is closest to stock ROM? Visually and functionally.

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
compile 4.0.3 from AOSP yourself and don't add anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
"Compile" sounds very developerish and scary :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
no pleasure without pain :)

official stock right now is 4.0.2, everything else related to 4.0.3 are AOSP based, meaning either take what's out there or compile own ROM.

simple :D

[Android Apps and Games] tu55h4r:
I am sharing this with an intent of saving time , best multi-tasking ability and easy access to all your apps.Using only a few apps , users can accomplish this.The combination of apps used here is after testing a lot of apps (launchers/folder apps/widgets etc) with a lot of configurations , but you may find others better to your liking.

[YOUTUBE]IWEL_AUvYSI[/YOUTUBE] No Audio.

Using only a few apps like

1) Go Launcher

2) Application Folder

https://market.android.com/details?id=personal.jhjeong.app.appfolderlite&hl=en

3) Swipepad

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&feature=search_result

4) Wavelauncher is Paid , but Dock4Droid is free.

I was able to access all my apps neatly categorized in folders on the only homescreen.

Application Folder is used to neatly categorize apps.Categorizing is one time thing only.Feel free to tinker around with various layouts.I have used 'Bubble view' most of the time.

No App Drawer is used in the above video.Only 1 screen.

Go Launcher consists of 5 icons in the dock.Each Icon is binded with an 'Application Folder' shortcut along with gesture for each icon.

5 icons + 5 gestures for each of those icon allow you to easily bind in all 10 folders!

For Multi Tasking:

I use Swipepad to switch to most frequently used tools (shown in the end with access to 12 apps

Wave Launcher is used to switch betweeen running apps

(can be seen as a wave of 6 apps in the end)

Would highly appreciate a feedback.

Press Thanks if this post helped you in anyway.:)
[Android Apps and Games] vipaman:
Nice tutortial......Will try Swipepad today....
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
This is my 1 screen multitasking solution.

It requires 2 apps:

1) Home2 Shortcut (Free)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut&hl=en

This app allows you to add a shortcut to your home key.

To launch your shortcut all you need to do is double tap your home key. This is great since you can access your home key (and thus your apps in combination with Folder Organizer) from anywhere.

2) Folder Organizer (Paid)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en

This app allows you to organize your apps in folders. There is no limit to the amount of apps you can place in a folder.

It can even link folders within a folder. Through this linking, you can switch between your different categories of folders all in one screen or single interface.

The ability to link folders can only be done through the paid version of the app. You need this feature for my solution to work.

Instructions:

In Folder Organizer

1) Categorize your apps by creating your desired folders. I created 4 folders for my setup (Favourites, Tools, Media, Miscellaneous).

2) Link folders within all folders. It's a bit hard to explain but it's like adding a folder shortcut inside your folders. Hope my screenshots above will give you a better understanding.

3) Place your desired apps in your folders and sort them.

In Home2 Shortcut

4) Link your Folder Organizer folder to the home key.

Finally, double tap your home key to launch your app folder. That's it and you're good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] tu55h4r:
Quick access to apps

Thanks for sharing .This is another good approach to accessing apps quickly.I have tried this approach before and have also used folder organizer .I stopped using it because my phone's Home key is a hard button.Also , the screen occupied by the folders overwhelms me and it takes atleast 3 clicks to get to the desired app.

Considering different types of apps means too many folders.I have access to around 250 apps using the method above in 2 clicks.
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
In terms of accessing your app folders on your home screen using your solution, it would still require 3 clicks. You would need to click your home button to go back to your home screen, click on your folder, and finally click on your app.

Although my method would also require 3 clicks (or 4 when switching to a different folder), I can access all of my apps while working inside another app, meaning I don't need to go back to the home screen. You do have Swipepad to make up for it, but as you stated you have access to only 12 apps. You also need to remember 2 ways of multitasking/access (Swipepad and home screen folders), while I condensed mine to just 1 (double tapping the home key to launch my apps). My method also gives an added benefit of security. Some of my Android buddies have looked through my phone and asked me how I access my apps when I have nothing on my home screen except widgets.

I see why you want to be careful when using hardware buttons though.
[Android Apps and Games] tu55h4r:
Approach revised

I get your point , lemme clarify.I understand that your approach lets you access any app with a min of 3 clicks.Thats for quick access.I am curious ,how do you switch between recent apps ?

I now realize with my approach, quick access to apps without leaving the home screen is needed.Since I am careful about my Home button , I found this

SmartTaskbar : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.taskbar&feature=related_apps

Currently , To Access

Apps , When on homescreen , it takes 2 clicks.

Apps , When not on homescreen , it takes 3 clicks

Recent apps, It takes one swipe. (Wavelauncher/Dock4Droid)

Some very Imp apps/Tools , It takes one swipe. (Swipepad) But limitation of swipepad free version is 12. Found a new app 'App Launcher' which allows for same functionality but requires 1 swipe + 1 click.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-launcher/net.talondesigns.quicklaunch

Sensitive Data / Hidden Apps , I use the Home2 shortcut approach.

All apps anytime without switching to homescreen , I use Smarttaskbar.
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
Since I'm on ICS, I just use the stock multitasking button that comes with it for recent app switching.
[Android Apps and Games] metaldood:
Swipepad + MoreSpace( swipepad addon) + WidgetPad(swipepad addon) is the bomb.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramguy0722:
For those of you out there with the T-mobile G2 and wish to root their phone but dont want the hassle of using sdk well here is some good news there is a better and quicker way to do so.

first you will need a few files and your going to need to downgrade to 2.2 v 1.19

grab the PC10IMG.zip it must be named this for it to work put this file in the root of the sd card reboot phone before phone starts up hold vol down button screen will show up and load the PC10IMG.zip it will ask install choose vol up for yes

download visionary r 14 and temp root that is all you need to do then download su.zip go to market install rom manager flash recovery reboot into recovery choose install zip from sd card choose su.zip it will be installed reboot phone will then be perm rooted
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenpin:
Easier way, download 'universal androot.apk' then install, and boom It's rooted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snailydale:

Universal Androot

Download ROM Manager

Use ROM Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery

Download ROM and place in SD card

Use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery

Full wipe and Dalvik Wipe

Flash Rom

Done!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] B-boy™:
I have it inverted also in another thread in the Fascinate section but it's more of a Holo theme than Blacked Out...

This thread is for the Transparent Version tho. This is a huge accomplishment since I'm pretty sure this has never been done. There have been transparent Talks but none of them had the chat screen done also.. so this is really cool!..

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU OR YOUR PHONE

Installation Guide:

FOLLOW PRECISELY

1. http://bit.ly/403TalkNOmanifestEdit Download this zip file and flash it in recovery or rom manager... once the device reboots, check your talk.apk and make sure it's working.. it'll be partially themed. If so, reboot your phone again.

2. Once the phone reboots, download this http://bit.ly/403TalkTransparent and flash it in recovery or rom manager.. Once it reboots you should have a fully transparent GTalk.apk

3. If you lose Talk at any point or just wanna go back to stock, download this http://bit.ly/stock403Talk .. it's the stock Talk.apk and flash it

This install method is the only way I got it to work and credits to TravP for collaborating with me on getting this to install due to the weird GApps issues when we touch the manifest.

*known issues*

Only thing I can find is the notification pop up menu.. it's white with black text. We're still looking into this one...

I have a Fascinate, not a Gnex.. So I don't know if this will work on other ICS Roms. Feel free to try it and feel free to add them to a zip file that will support your device.. The zip file I used is from the GApps I installed with the rom just to ensure it installs.. I'll add a "how to" guide later for anyone that want's to know...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sageDieu:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Basically if your slow connection is related to TCP tuning, it can have a positive effect.

If your slow connection issue is due to overloaded backhaul (IMO most of the time) then you will likely still have a slow connection. It might change slightly but the biggest contributor to the speed problem is that overloaded backhaul so it will dominate the results.
