[Q] Closing bootanimation needed. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am wanting to know how I can get hold of the closing bootanimation I have managed to get on my SGS2. Basically its like a tv screen when you switch it off, it closes down into a line just like the old tv's used to. I think it must be when I upgraded to the KE7 kernal or firmware but I just want to know if its possible to manually install it on a desire?
Ta.

its known as the crt off effect, i think you can install it manually, search in google or in xda for crt off effect

why
Why are you digging up old threads?

Built in screenshot

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?
Seen this alot here but no one can seem to remember what they did to make it happen...its weird..

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.

I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

[Q] closest thing to gingerbread screen off animation on TB

So I have spent all week looking for a way to get the screen off animation (old tv style) on my Thunderbolt and came up empty handed...until today! the only thing that even remotely does what i want is an app thats called screen off and lock. This app will play the screen animation and then lock your phone. now i know that everyone is saying that the screen off ani cant be done on froyo unless you're using a senseless ROM (like CM7) but if this app can sort of do it, is there a dev that can make this app work by actually pushing the power button? Any help would be appreciated.
I would LOVE if someone could get this working on froyo too!
You See That Is An App.. It Has Nothing To Do With The System And Animations, There Is No Possible Way To Do it :\
Yea i know...It was pretty much wishful thinking but thought i would ask. Guess Im gonna have to go to CM7 to get my fix until GB comes out for the TB. The app is ok but who the hell wants to go back to there home screen every time just to see an animation
Iv been switching from CM7 to Bamf and vice versa lately for testing. And I really miss that lol. I loved showing it to everyone and theyd all be like :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i have already done a few things to the stock ROM like put the "HTC quietly rooted" boot animation and the down animation is the old tv turning off with static first then very similar to GB screen off. while that gets me the "OOOOOOOOO" that i want from people, i hate having to power cycle my phone to do it cause using swype i have to then switch to touch keyboard then back to swype. that becomes a pain in the ()()
Id pay a buck
just saying

I haven't had any luck changing the down animation....any suggestions?
forum. androidcentral. com/ thunderbolt-rooting-roms-hacks/77593-problems-changing-downanimation-zip.html
**I posted the question there with some more details (I don't want to take over this thread).**
I have a down animation that's great if you want it (i explain it in the OP) if you want it let me know. Just a brief description on how to change your down animation:
Get a root explorer
Go to system/media
Paste new down animation in this folder
Done
I always recommend copying the original down animation in case you don't like the new one
The quietly rooted screen sounds fun. Any way that can be made into a flammable zip and posted?
I got it from another thread. The link is below

It's not all that special just so you know, it actually gets quite irritating after a few days... but if you want it, why dont you just use CM7 than. CM7 or any AOSP ROM is leagues better than anything Sense-based, except possibly Myn's Warm

Been a long time since I tried anything with sense. I had the n1 which I loved but just trying to give sense a try. I have cm7 which I flash to when I need an AOSP fix. Just trying to find a nice blend.

Ok thanks for the info. I knew you could change it via a root explorer, but I'm partial to using adb (which would be great if i was successful lol).
Dcnbullet, could you please upload that crt downanimation, w/ instructions on how to install it?
Thanks!

Download and move zip file into /system/media using root explorer or equivalent (change the name of the original downanimation.zip file or copy it somewhere first so you can go back to it if you want). Then change permissions to rw-r--r--
Looks awesome!
Thanks!

What does this down animation actually do? I put it in the media spot and when I turn my screen off I get nothing? I did set permissions

CRT effect

Is there a simple way to enable this? All the options I have seen seem to include other modifications too via replacing a framework file.
Do Samsung block it on the phone or do they take it out alltogether. I understand the reason is because of poor performance on occasion but it has always been fine on my phone...
Any ideas?

Have you seen this thread:

I don't think you'll find an easier way.
Kinda funny, because I disabled it on Cognition ROM. You can have mine.
Thanks I hadn't seen that one. Will give it a try once the 2.3.4 update goes official (unless anyone fancies doing a KG6 version...)
Brought back memories reading about how all the processes come crashing down when you change the file while the phone is running... oops...

[BROKEN] [Stock ICS W/ TouchWiz Deodexed] - Working HW Buttons and Calling.

*EDIT So many are having the FC issues, I am pulling it for now.
Sorry I guess 3 phones tested was not enough.
Will try to work out the kinks and get it back up soon.
I didn't do anything here except include Fennys new Phone APK and Qwerty KB fix. All the Kernel work is Fenny.
Thanks to Vlara and Howtomen for Putting the rom together with Fennys new Kernel which inclues the HW button fix.
Thanks also to Vlara for Deodexing.
The screen wake issue has yet to be resolved.
Other than that everything seems to be working fine.
All of Samsungs Bloatware is still there, including TouchWiz.
To adjust the Keyboard to the QWERTY android version from the QWERTZ Samsung Version, goto Language and Input, select Default, then English (US) Android Keyboard.
There is an issue with the kernel right now where you have to manually hash your restores, or they will not work.
Thanks again to FennyFatal, Vlara, and Howtomen!
URL REMOVED FOR NOW
Could use a mirror or two if anyone is interested! Please!
Updates will go here.
First!

Yea as it says in the OP, the Screen Wake issue has not yet been resolved. Fenny and Entropy are working on it though. Pretty sure USB Mounting is still borked as well.

Force Close
Unable to use this ROM, set up fc's on Phone and Messaging constantly making set up impossible.
Skipping set up and going straight to the phone didnt help either. Any action (open an app, settings etc) is receive with "Phone has stopped responding" or "TWLauncher has stopped responding".
Can not hold a cell or wifi signal.
Flashed twice, same results each time.
Can we get a new phone.apk?
I can't get pass the "Galaxy SII" boot screen... :-(
How do you extract the kernel? I think its just the flash image and z image right?

[YP-G70 INTL] Disable the lights on capacitive buttons?

Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL running on CM9, Paranoid Android
Well as the topic said, anyone knows if there's a way to at least disable the lights on the buttons? There are some apps that could disable the lights but it requires you to start up the app at every reboot and it'll be a chore since I tend to reboot the player a few times a day due to freezing etc. There are some threads I saw in xda about it but not sure if it's okay to cross-flash .zip files intended for a different models without bricking the device.
