OK, I know I've just been rambling to myself basically, but I got it. Had to do some goofy stuff - extract the edited unsignedframework-res.apk, then re-zip it, no compression (store) style, then it worked with the simple bools edit. Never had to do that before for a bools edit, but oh well... So, anyway, if you change it to "true" it will get rid of that CRT style screen close - it just gently fades away now... and so do I...

Could probably piece those few posts together for a small TUT...
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Lol ive gone through this thread from the beginning and im in shock at how off these answers are lol he is asking for SCREEN ON animation.just like how the screen off button is a t.v. shutting off..he wants when u click it on for it to turn on like a tv. U get it now? Lol its been done on other devices ..i remember my xperia x10 having it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Thanks for the link was waiting like where is it.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
LOL... I see that I was way off now on what he was asking, but I've looked at that CRT effect thing before so I jumped to conclusions. But I figured something out on my far off tangent, so I'm happy..

Anyway, that would be cool though to have both screen on/off CRT style - right now I got both fading (fades out a little smoother than the turn on though)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Lol, rdavisct got it exactly right. My DROID had it and I loved it.

Altered, where are the crt animations located. Haven't had a chance to get in front of the com, but was I right by thinking it was in the anim folder? In the framework-res?

EDIT: Tonight ill decompile my old Droid cm7 rom (which had it) and check out the bools there... even though they're different roms its still the same darn animation.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, that's the only edit I'm familiar with for the CRT effect, that bools line in framework-res apparently just turns it on/off for the screen-off function - never seen anything for the screen-on ani... but, good luck and happy hunting! I'll definitely let you know if I come across something though..

Maybe something in styles or anim... not sure..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Well to all who are interested I found out how to do this, and BOY IS IT INVOLVED.

And officially had my first soft-brick while developing ha. :)

After much research I found that you have to do a MASSIVE overhaul of the code to the services.jar file.

Which for me entailed de-odexing the current ROM I had (ROMULUS: still running great altered!) which would allow me access to the services.jar file to edit it.

I found you can't edit these files with an odexed ROM.

So after de-odexing and zip-aligning, I modified the services.jar via the VERY helpful post HERE. However, once I got everything back together, and zipped the ROM, I tried to flash it just to see if it would work. And boom. Soft brick. Stuck at M logo.

Possibly due to the fact I de-odexed the ROM?

Also still trying to find a way if I can RE odex the classess.dex with the service.jar and then I can just push it as a ZIP.

Any thoughts as to why it failed peeps? The jury's still out in my head, and my brain hurts.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I think it's my rom actually... The services.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar and SystemUI.apk have all been deodexed once to get the heavier mods in (batt, togs, reboot), then reodexed again. I can't seem to get a deodexed build past the M screen either... I'm still trying different approaches, but that's the only thing I can think of - that they have been de/reodexed too many times. Did you deodex everything? Did SystemUI deodex ok?

Hate to say it, but you might wanna try copying your edits and trying it out on one of the deodexed roms... or deodex the stock apps/framework. Or I could help you try and re-odex it if you want to go that route...

I was trying to prove it wrong, but I guess that's why they say it's a pain to theme odexed systems..

Very cool that you figured it out though..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Well here. Lets do this mate.

I have a copy if the modded services.jar and the classes.dex to go with it. If you wanna try to re-odex them and put it in your rom.

Cause personally, I like your rom and would like to keep it. ;)

But before I send you the file, ill try it on a de-odexed rom to make sure it works. How does that sound?

EDIT: And yeah I de-odexed everything. Zip-aligned also.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, let's get this figured out... pm me at anytime.
[Motorola Atrix 2] leifemagnuson:
Crt on/off with wake and lock? It was definitely on some of the the xperia x10 roms. In the beginning (a year it so ago) it was a flashable zip. If I can remember my old log in password its in my pm box. Maybe something you could look at and alter.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
UGH.

Welcome to developing Fall of Enosis. Ha.

Soooo, I downloaded rd's Supercharged V5 ROM cause it's de-odexed, and I replaced his service.jar file with mine (which is the modified one with the modified Classes.dex file).

Looked as though everything went fine, however when I went to flash it (or in that ROM's case Restore it) it said it had an error with the system file and couldn't install it.

Rats! Lol.

So much time altering the darn code and nothing.

Maybe it's because it's a restore ROM and not a flashable?

Anyways the reason I would like to hash this all out is because I'm sure that ICS will have the CRT feature as well and that we should be able to alter it as well and get it working on future ICS ROMS.

So if any devs out there would like to give me your two cents on this that would be awesome.

HERE is the link for the service .jar file, the altered classes.dex file and the decompiled classes.dex file (com).

Feel free to take a peek.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You are going to HAVE to use the kitchen!!!

Take the supercharged ROM, and restore it to your phone totally stock without the changes or that .jar file.... then with the terminal app on the phone, do the following:

$ su

# cat /dev/block/system > /sdcard/system.img

Then transfer that system.img from your sdcard, and put it on your computer, and import it into the ROM kitchen, then apply your .jar file, and then have the kitchen build and sign the ROM, then try and flash it with CWM.

The issue you had was the fact that the signature of the backup no longer matched, since you changed the size with updating it. That will completely mess up the restore.

Oh, and welcome to the dark side of the dev world!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Rom kitchen should take the system.ext3.tar backup of the rom without having to get an image first. that.s what I always do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The ONLY issue with that, is that there are 3 extra bits that CWM adds to end of the filesystem data, and the Linux mount command treats it different, and so, some of the files may be corrupt. You may never find them, and it could corrupt a file that is very seldom used.

I don't recommend this method. I have heard of people having a horrendous time with CWM backups and corrupt files, after a linux mount, or from use in the kitchen. Be very careful with this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Thanks so much Jim!

Your knowledge is unprecedented.

Question though: would it work if I made a zip through which to flash it with?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
So I did everything you laid out my good man. Made the update.zip and now CWM is telling me it can't install and it has a status 0.

A quick google search is telling me that my update binary is messed up. However the kitchen makes that on its own.

Any ideas on how I can rectify this.

Thanks for dealing with my noob dev questions. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
You could try these if it's only installing to /system...see attached (unzip and replace with those in your meta-inf folder - sorry if I'm butting in here..:o) Note: i've not mastered the "show progress" and the bar yet.. but shouldn't affect install
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Naw man, you're not. I'm all for help. I'm still new to Android development and willing to defer to those with more knowledge than me. :)

I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I'm at the, "no more Android development for tonight or I'll scream" point of my day.

Ha. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, don't burn yourself out like I do almost every night..

About update.zips, not sure how much you know so I'll just tell you how I do it..

First, take one of my or somebody else's small update zip package that works and unzip it.. make/delete the necessary app or framework folder inside of the /system folder and put your modded files in there. Check that the updater-script does what you want (i.e. extract package to /system), then select the system and META-INF folders and create a new zip package (named whatever you want). Then drop that new zip into Sign+ or similar to get the proper zip signatures (you can also do it without sigs but then you have to toggle the signature check in cwm recovery before flashing). Then install zip from sd card (don't use the update.zip option).

Might be helpful to also make a restore zip from your current unmodded files and put that on your sd card at the same time in case something goes wrong with the modded files, you can just flash that through recovery (if you have it on boot).

weigh in 35.08MB.

Downloading now...
[HTC One X] EXK:
it fixed the memory fragmentation issue. free space went up from 3gb to 19gb ... :)
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
I'm waiting for others to test it before I download.

Running good now with great battery and I don't want that to change.
[HTC One X] saku12:
Just done the downloading.. do not see any big improvement yet..
[HTC One X] echo_rc:
Please share the hboot version..
[HTC One X] demarton:
Disappearing storage is big deal for me, I transferred a lot of movies, it seems to be resolved, 1.5 to 3.6GB.

Noticed some strange screen flickering when swiping between home screen. It didn't happened before, was not that annoying but it's there.

Multitasking is about the same IMHO, still reloading browser tabs when switching away to some heavier apps.

Amount of memory on task manager after boot is also the same as before.
[HTC One X] Packer2058:
what the **** it just factory reset my phone and wiped everything off....
[HTC One X] datta.ca:
Still there is no update in HK. Stuck with 708.9 :mad:

[HTC One X] angka8:
Hi,

I receive the Ota but I am root.. how to update when root?
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
you need to go back stock
[HTC One X] andytang87:
Just got it a few mins:)
[HTC One X] kctan75:
Hi,

You need to go back to stock by using RUU method. After flashing by ruu, run the software update in the phone. My HTC one x had been updated by this method. :)
[HTC One X] angka8:
Hi,

But I just root.. i din install any custom ROM
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
If you only rooted. Re-flash stock recovery.img and relock bootloader. Then you should be all set.
[HTC One X] angka8:
Hi,

How to flash stock recovery.img? download the RUU?
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
No, go to one x development forum. Then click the thread where the Clockworkmod recovery is. There's a download link in there for stock recovery.

Download it then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (whatever the file is called)

If you don't know anything.......go on youtube and search how to One X back to stock
[HTC One X] angka8:
Hi,

Thanks. done.. =)
[HTC One X] chrsada:
Some has reported that flashing stock recovery is enough without relocking bootloader. I haven't tried it though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26721360
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Possibly, you have to grab the OTA file though to do that way. And do it manually.
[HTC One X] ajftl:
Got it this morning. I do noticed snappier than before. Phone feels faster.... Battery good. I have had good battery always anyway. So far cool
[HTC One X] Vandal4125:
Yup, phone feels noticeably snappier. No noticeable lag like how it was in 1.28.

The real test will be the battery life. Will test on a full charge tomorrow.

Today only on 1h 10mins of on screen with auto brightness and I am at 59%. Just updated now.
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Yup, 0.96

And radio numbering is higher than others, 1.1204.105.14. See the 105? Others are 104. Don't know if it does have difference though in terms of signal optimization.
[HTC One X] chrsada:
OK just tried and it worked.

Just to be clear, my situation before this OTA is:

- bootloader unlocked with htcdev

- flashed CWM recovery

- rooted by flashing SuperSU via CWM recovery

- DID NOT flash custom ROM

What I did to get 1.29 OTA:

- Once the OTA notification shows, choose to download the OTA

- When asked whether to install OTA now or install later, choose install later

- grabbed stock recovery (1.28) from link provided here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

- flash stock recovery via fastboot

- power down and reboot

- Phone asked whether to install OTA now, choose install now

- A couple of reboot, and I got 1.29

- flash CWM again with fastboot.

- boot into CWM recovery and flash SuperSU

Voila!
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
-improvements over 1.28 are definitely

-smoother

-can't say on battery life yet, had to do a lot of syncing and redownloading apps coming from rooted and unlocked custom ROM. Looks okay though, don't think it will compare to leedroid tho

-my flickering has been gone and fixed since I went 1.29 on a custom ROM so this will definitely help those with flickering problems, mines just gone already.

-never had format SD space usage issue so can't say on that but clearly fixed for a lot of people

Waiting for HTC to freaking come up with 1.3x updates and ICS kernel.........ridiculous how we're still on gingerbread kernel and Nvidia drivers are still bad
[HTC One X] sn707:
Got my update notification last night around 10:30pm Pacific. Update went smooth no problems there, but I am stock with bloat disabled.
[HTC One X] jpolettez:
I have 1.29.708.9....... Should I expect an update?
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
No this update is for 707 Asian WWE. I guess if you meant expect one eventually. Possibly, but it depends ad your carrier branded I'm guessing
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No, Hong Kong version. I suspect we'll get it soon.
[HTC One X] GillAu:

Gill,

Wait a few days and several charges to see how your battery performance compared to before the update.
[HTC One X] gdelrosario:

[HTC One X] vegasphinx:
The update wipe all my data, including sdcard :mad:
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:

[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
It didn't wipe mine. Perhaps you unknowingly factory reset your device?
[HTC One X] chasist:
Looks.like battery drain is more aggressive in this update
[HTC One X] GillAu:
Thanks fcng.
[HTC One X] adrianop:
Download and install went smooth. Noticed that Force GPU rendering can now be checked and persists. Im not sure how it will affect the device now though.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
battery drain guys

disable force 2d GPU in developer options if you have it on
[HTC One X] demarton:
What battery drain? have been 11 hours, still 67% :D

Will report back in the next few days.
[HTC One X] ekie84:
Im not sure about the battery with the new update tho
[HTC One X] echo_rc:
Are you using battery saver like juice defender, Easy Battery Saver?
[HTC One X] demarton:
regarding battery drain,

I'm doing test with several data plan from available operator in the country,

my theory is that frequently fast / stable data connection speed leads to less and leaner batt usage.

It makes sense, since hox didn't need to online on 3g (drain) too long when syncing all my email/accounts.

Still in the middle of testing to proof my theory though, so far has been great. Slow data speed operator, hox on light use barely survived 15 hours.
[HTC One X] nagel:
So if I don't have flicker issue, its probably wiser to stay away from this update.
[HTC One X] jeffconan:
hi guys! new HOX user here and probably my first smartphone...just wanna ask is it okay to upgrade to 1.29 using internet pass through in my laptop (it will usually charge the battery) because i don't have a wifi and the warning says it should not be on charge mode...sorry if its OT
[HTC One X] dirtytotoi:
New with all this but so far i've rooted my device, put in CWR and flashed to Coredroid 3.0 ROM.

Would it make sense for me to put back stock recovery and run the RUU to have everything back to stock to get this update? Cos i'm guessing i'll root it again and flash back to Coredroid.

Sorry but i'm a little confused about the purpose of going for the update since i'm sure custom ROM will be updated with this update right? Or am i missing something here :confused:
[HTC One X] Vandal4125:
Average daily usage as far as apps go, seems O.K

Never had amazing battery on this phone.

Off the charger at 7am. Auto-Brightness(I'm outside most of the day), 30 mins of calls, lots of whatsapp and about 15mins of fruit ninja
[HTC One X] rfosorio:
I was able to install OTA 1.29.707.11 on my rooted htc one x with cwm 5.8.3.1 without flashing stock recovery.

So I got the System Update and selected 'Install Later' option. Then I downloaded Voodoo RootKeeper from Google Play. I run RootKeeper to backup my root credentials in the event OTA deletes it.

I hooked the device to my laptop and selected mount as disk drive. I moved the downloaded ota zip file to /sdcard/ and unzipped it.

Here's the fun part. I edited META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in notepad and removed the following line: assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000", "11111111", "22222222","33333333","44444444","55555555","66666666","77777777","88888888","99999999", "HTC__044");

After which I saved the updater-script and rebuilt the zip file.

I restarted my phone and booted into cwm recovery. I chose 'install from zip' and installed the ota zip update.

Then, I rebooted my phone. I started the Voodoo RootKeeper to restore my root credential.

So I got OTA update without flashing stock recovery.
[HTC One X] kctan75:
Hi,

Mai I know how your rebuild the zip file? :confused:
[HTC One X] rfosorio:
I was on Windows Explorer so I simply selected all files (e.g. META-INF, patch, system, firmware, fotaBoot, version), right-clicked, and on the context menu, selected 'Send to' > 'Compressed (zipped) folder. Then I copied the modified zipped file back to /sdcard/ dir.
[HTC One X] andytang87:
Thanks for this update :)

When my phone updating, i see dead pixel on my screen.

After update, i record video and find out more problem with my phone. It has strange sound after i record my video and very loud even i record in quiet place. It still has that sound.

Now i send it back to singapore.

This is the second time i send the phone bought from singapore to warrany. First time, i got the brand new phone but it had problem with the sim tray. When you hold tide at sim tray, the phone does not recognize the sim, unhold it and wait 1 min it detect the sim. Hold again it has problem again. I sent back to them and then they sent me the refurbished phone: cratch at the back cover, at the camera and at the upper left corner of the front screen crack a little bit because this phone opened screen to fix inside but they said with me this is a brand new phone from htc. I bought the phone and use it only 3 days. Now i got the old phone like this.

I am waiting for the second warranty, and see what happen next and what they do.

Hopefully, no one has problem like me bought the phone from singapore

Thank you

[HTC One X] jerrylzy:
That is a very good result actually.
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Provided you have a 1.28 stock nandroid which you should have done last time.

Here's next thing to do:

- in clockworkmod recovery, restore your 1.28 stock nandroid

- in fastboot mode, fastboot flash recovery nameof1.28stockrecovery.img(you can get it from the sticky thread in dev section)

- fastboot flash boot nameofstock1.28boot.img(optional, do this only if you cannot boot in 1.28 stock ROM)

- boot and you will receive the ota update then you will now have stock 1.29 ROM, stock kernel, stock recovery
[HTC One X] randypurcz:
Were you on CWM and return to stock recovery ?
[HTC One X] Scann69:
but am still wondering.....if after getting the update, i still plan to flash a custom ROM, does this means it's not really necessary to go back to stock to get the update?
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Yup, pretty much not really necessary.

I personally do it(OTA) only for the sake of just testing the updated stock. But after some time I always immediately go back to custom ROMs.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Flashing custom ROM doesn't update things like HBoot and Radio, so you NEED to grab OTA if you want it updated to the latest. Some other things may not be updated also, not sure what else though. At least I think so from what I remember.

Until we get S-Off, this is the trend I believe.
[HTC One X] Scann69:
Yah....i guess that makes sense. I read somewhere it corrects the free space as in giving us back some memory space on the internal storage cos now we are short of some 10gb?

So looks like it's flashing all over again tonite :D

Thanks for the reply guys :thumbup:
