[REQUEST] Lock/Power effect from GBread? - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Howdy folks, any way to port the very cool screen effect fom Android 2.3 over to Atrix? The one where the screen turns off and then goes to a very small dot like the old TV sets used to do?
Thanks for the help.

nope only gb can do it

OK, thanks for letting me know.

On open home 6 there is a setting for that. Real good launcher too

Actually, there are several apps in the market that reproduce this effect. Just search for it.

Me too. Did they make this so international users could access fb w/ an app? If not, I dont see the point
With this I can upload videos to facebook something I either couldn't figure out or missed On the market app, I like facebook $ better so far but will keep both

Yea at first I really liked this. Its originally I think from the samsung wave and its android market. But this thing lags a bit. I too went back to the original one. Anyone else and their thoughts on this

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I had the same problem. You should go to the link in the post. I know its not supposed to matter, but I made my screen timeout longer. It was stuck each time.... So try that out, it might work for you

I spoke too soon. Its very slow and doesn't have alerts. The best alert facebook app is bloo from the market. The Samsung facebook app is really nice but it loads everytime you go to a new tab or actually update your status or reply to an update.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I also suggest bloo 1.5 but it's not on the market, gotta Google the apk. I hate the official app because it takes you to the mobile version mostly.

gingerbread crt screen off animation on ANY build

theres people asking for this....and i don't think people should flash a non stable rom just for this animation....so here:
screen off and lock
doesn't use lock button, but you can remap long press of search button (i don't use google voice actions that much) to lock the screen with an animation.
hope this helps some people
oh....and if you're rooted (which most people on here are) you can pull the xml animation file and rename it lock_screen_enter.xml or lock_screen_behind_enter.xml, then push it to your frameworkres.apk/anim, it will be your animation for unlocking your phone. it's ultra fast and fits perfectly with the unlock sounds.
i'd include a video, but i dont have a digital camera....
Hmm, Im going to wait to see if someone tries this. Could be pretty epic.
Hmm I was under the impression that the frameworks prior to ginger bread had no support for that kind of animation.
Might when I get home, I really do like the tv animation
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I guess pre-gingerbread, the sdk doesn't call for an xml when hitting the power/lock button. So that's why I use the feature to remap long pressing the search button.

doesn't give me screen off animation like in gingerbread on my Vibrant..... uninstalled.....
You guys have to configure it first, you know..... Look in your apps for "configure screen off and unlock" it's not that difficult.

I'm using a vibrant too....and it doesn't require root....so whoever can't make it happen: you're doing it wrong

Thanks for quick responcse, but also I'm not dumb. I've configured it and still nothing.
Do you have all animations turned on in settings/display?

I didn't call anyone dumb. Just said that it's being done wrong. I'm just trying to help, buddy. And it doesn't use the power button...read the op

alright, sorry , it sounded like ya think i'm a moron. I tried 2 times, reinstalled, restarted, and still no Gingerbread style tv off animation. There seems to be a slightly different animation when putting phone to sleep when I set it to "old style TV", but def not gingerbread , not even close.
So I guess I'm must be doing something VERY wrong with the simple instructions and setttings... IDK man. Not sure what to say,
Thanks for the app, unfortunately tho it does not give that GB style tv off animation
EDIT: yes I have all animations turned on, always do
I figure it's close enough for those who really wanted the animation like me. And it works in landscape. So that's a plus to me.
I just wasn't down to install an unstable gb build for this animation.

I'm not bashing at all. Just reporting back from my use of the app. NONE of the animations I select work , so maybe it is the ROM I'm using. IDK.
Ty anyways
That's weird man. Sorry it's not working for ya. What rom are you using? I'm using original bionix v.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Working very well, thanks man! Are there any ways to speed/slow down the animation?
EDIT: Can you also elaborate on unlock animation? Does this mean when we hit the power button the screen will turn on that way in reverse? I'd like to get that going, but would I have to know how to edit and recompile an apk? I've never really messed with xml files.
I mean the transition from your lock screen to your home screen/open app.

can we do this using root explorer?
What I do is take this app from data/app and bring it to my computer, and extract scale_old_tv.xml, and rename it to lock_screen_exit.xml and take your framework, and drop it into framework/res/anim

Removing stock homescreens

This is probably a very silly question but how do you remove stock homescreens on the Atrix? I only need 4, not 7. This was a very easy thing to do on my Samsung Galayx. I´ve installed Zean Launcher and I´ve been using it with 4 homescreens but I´d like to run some tests with the stock motoblur launcher and I don´t want to keep 7 screens.
Come on...nobody? This sounds simple...
If I remember correctly you have to long click on the bottom where the launcher buttons are. I'm not sure but you have to long click somewhere
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
With stock motoblur you can't. That's why I use custom launchers
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
No it can definitely be done. I've done it I just can't remember how. Try double taping the screen until the homescreen selection comes up and then try long clicking one of the screens
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
From Motorola forums:
"There is no way to limit the number of screens unless you use a home replacement app."

Permanent Launcher/Dock?

Does anyone know of any launchers that have a permanent dock at the bottom? So that when I open an app or something else I don not have to go back to the home screen to access to docked apps?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
Use wave launcher ..
Sent From Epic 4G
Thanks for the suggestion, but not really what I was looking for. I really need to add a permanent blank space to the bottom of the screen so I can place button savior there on my nook color.
I can do this with launcher pro, but the dock leaves when you go in to an app.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
U not gonna find it buddy..use the wave launcher or dock4droid ...watch a video to see how it works...its always there with any app u using..trust me and try one of them cuz u wont find a permanent dock..

I think that has more to do with apps opening full screen rather than a launcher.

Kinda figured that, but wave launcher doesn't give me any advantage over button savior. Thanks again for the suggestion though.

I don't that functionality can be added without a rework of the system components

How to capture screenies on froyo?

I one time on accident took a screenshot on stock froyo and it stayed in my gallery showing my home screen. By now I deleted it but I would like to know how to if I can. Thanks to anyone who helps
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Check out this guide/list of mine... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381627
Go down to #15 "ShootMe". Your answer awaits. (However, you must be rooted to use it)
If you are not rooted, you're going to have to dip in some cash for this app... https://market.android.com/details?...S5hbmRyb2lkLnNjcmVlbnNob3RpdGZ1bGxub3Jvb3QiXQ..
Thanks ill check it out now

I've done it a few times on accident myself, unrooted with no screenshot app. Never could figure out how. Since then though, I just ended up buying ScreenshotIt. Works great for me.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Another thing, after a bit of research stock 2.2 supposedly has a built in screenshot taker. Try these instructions to see if this is what you accidentally did...
1. When you are in the specific screen which you desire to take Screenshot, Press the Back button in right bottom and hold it. While holding Back button now press Home button in the middle. You will hear a capture sound and in moment it will appear Screen captured. Save as image file
2. Go in the Gallery app there is a new folder called Screen Capture. Open it, you will see the captured image. Enjoy!
I tried that but it just goes to the home screen or back.. I have the image still on my phone and its saved as screenshot and I dont have any screenshot apps so idk how I did it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Oh. Sorry that didn't work. Those were some instructions some guy posted that were supposed to work...
Its ok I really done neeed it It would just be cool to know how to do it since its a feature on the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I would also know how exactly this works if anyone figured it out. I think I took about 5 screen shots on accident with some sort of combination of softkeys without knowing how :|
I ended up just getting an app called shoot me and getting honeycream jw1 with ice theme I got bored with froyo haha
