I was wondering if there is a way now that we have root to enable the Gingerbread on / off animation that HTC removed, without having to flash a new ROM?
This is different than the power up / restart / down animation that is listed elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks!
I just searched around, and maybe it's lack of proper wording but all I turned up was "it's in Gingerbread" Nothing relating to how to activate/deactivate/change it. What I would surmise from all of this is that HTC chose not to implement it in their build, so an AOSP build would/should have it vs the HTC build.. Sucks but it seems like all we have right now.
Of course the last link I try, I find this: http://droidmodderx.com/old-school-crt-animation-for-gingerbread-tv-off/
Don't go flashing it, but we should be able to pick it apart and determine what we need to add in.
I was able to add it in but HTC messed something in the code up and the animation plays extremely slow. I'm still looking around to see if i can figure out how to speed it up and once i do it'll be in my rom.
Awesome. This is my first Android and I've seen it in videos. Seems pretty cool!
u can try spare parts+ to speed up the animation.

Good stuff, thanks for the reply guys. Seems like it should be something to easy to add in but I guess not.
Are you talking about the animation that comes up when you turn your phone off/on? The animation on the CM roms? If thats the one your talking about I would love it too.

No, this is when you put the screen to sleep(tap the power button, or wait for the screen timeout).
It's called the CRT animation, is mimics the screen "twitch" old CRT computer monitors.

Negative, according to Newt and Chingy, the animation does work but there's something within the OS that slows it down dramatically, so it's pretty much useless.
We'll have this soon enough, the dev's are awesome and they'll figure it out. I do like having those animations.

Is it just me, or does the S2 not have the cool screen off animation that looks like an old TV switching off? I thought it came as part of gingerbread?
Now there is a proper reason not to buy the phone, it's rubbish without this feature.

i have the screen off animation on my nexus one, and it really is worth it to have that little feature. HTC took it off their upcoming phones as well, who knows why they are removing it.
it will be added back with custom ROMs for sure.
If you want the old CRT TV-off animation try the program "Screen Off and Lock", has the same thing. I use it on my SGSI now, and from memory there was a recent update for gingerbread compatibility. You can check youTube for examples of it in action, unfortunately I cannot supply a link since I'm at work.
Is there any way to put the screen on/off anims in the salsa/bbq roms?
I know I've asked this a couple times before, and I hate to be a bother but I figured I'd ask one more time.
Any reply is appreciated, thanks.
Wait and see I think we may have someone who is working on a new salsa rom for us with on and off animations

If you tinker with the settings, it has the crt screen off animation. The youtube demonstration vid shows the crt animation. I have it on random animations and my search key is used turn my screen off. Though, I'm not sure if it's the same as the stock version but it's quite useful imho.
Thank for the replies guys. I'll try screen off and lock in the meantime till the euro port is released.

First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.

So the CRT should be on here completely bone stock? After reading this, I tried and do not get the CRT animation. I checked and all animations is selected. WTF?
Yup
-Mediums-
So tell me what you want in your boot animation. Be detailed or not. I'm comfortable with Blender (3D modeling & animation suite), Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, and Audacity, so I can make an animation from scratch on any medium, compose videos, and even do basic sound mixing for it.
-Queuing-
If an idea sounds cool & easy I'll do that first, and if it's ROM/user specific (like a name animation), I'll save it for later. If it sounds too difficult and/or ugly I'll also save it for later, and I can't guarantee I'll get to all of them (depending on if this gets popular)
-Requests-
You can be as detailed as you want (or not at all), and I'd prefer if you linked effects videos (free stock videos) and/or sounds to mix. I'll also just cut up & format a youtube video or something if you want that. FYI I'd say I have a very good eye for things that look good, so you can just be broad and let me do the rest if you want. The product will also depend on how lazy I am at that time.
The boot animation is composed of multiple parts, and each part can be played once, looped a certain number of times, or looped infinitely (of course you would loop the last part infinitely, or make sure the animation is long enough to accommodate all boot lengths). No one part can contain too many frames or else the boot animation will glitch or hang. Also specify if you want me to cut the framerate or resolution of the animation if it makes the animation glitch.
-Payment-
Thanks's. I also get a warm fuzzy feeling from this .
Hmm, actually there is something I'd appreciate in return if anyone can do it for me. I'm currently using teamd3rp's Blue Dust skin, and it's beautiful. The only thing that really bugs me is that the selection colors (colors when selecting menu items or pressing buttons) and scrollbar are grey. The selections are also gradients, I'd rather prefer the same flat ICS blue. If anyone can replace those items (as well as the lock ring) with the ones in this skin (ICSSpark), or at least point me in the right direction, I'd be really appreciate it. Thanks!
-Installation-
Depending on how lazy I am, I'll either provide a flashable zip or just the raw files. Also it can be different for some roms.
-Disclaimer-
I am in no way responsible for anything bad happening to you or your phone. It's not my fault, use these at your own risk. You broke it, not me. I am not responsible for damages to your phone, these include but are not limited to your phone bricking, breaking, bursting into flames, stealing your wife, falsifying police reports on you, winning against you in court, sending you to prison, and taking your home and children.
NOTE: I will NOT be testing these on my own phone (unless otherwise specified), I will only be testing these in the Boot Animation Previewer so if the animation does glitch, just let me know and I'll adjust the framerate/resolution.

Can you make something like this
It should be in portrait
Without "Assassins Creed" words or any other words
Without audio
First part of animation should be while it spins until it transforms and the rest should repeat until phone boots up
Hope its not to complicated

Done. I tested it and it's working on my phone, but for some reason it speeds up a lot during the last part (the infinite loop part) and idk why. It looks fine in the previewer. It's probably something in the rom (I'm using ZR3D 2.0.1GT vB).
Took a bit of tweaking to actually get it to fit well and loop right. Let me know if it looks fine on yours.

Looks good. You are right it speeds up at the end(repearing part)
Maybe it will even bee bether without that last part, only spining animation, what do you think?

Sure, but then I need to lose the cloud and glowing square animations for it to loop right (unless I try some fading trickery). Actually I think one of the cloud layers was based on an algorithm that I can adjust... I'll see about it tomorrow as I need to sleep right now, just let me know what your conclusion is.

It's great that you like both of those themes and can only use one at a time. Not cool to ask anyone to swap out images in those themes(without asking the creators of them)in trade for anything. Mash-ups are great for personal use but to ask to have images swapped from two different teams themes in a post not so much(99% of the themers here don't mind sharing) .Now if you want to learn to do that for personal use there's a great thread to learn from in this very section of the forum. Or you can ask the creators about maybe New colors coming to the theme of choice.<rant over>

I spent quite some time trying to get it working correctly and tried compensating by slowing it down beforehand, and also lowering the file sizes so there isn't any lag from reading. But I guess it doesn't like me . Anyway, I also put together an only spinning animation at 60 & 30 fps. Though it's still very strange, the first loop is slow then the rest is at normal speed. I spent a couple hours troubleshooting this but can't find anything, I'm stumped! I tried different renderers, compression formats, resolutions, and tried switching to pngs but it still won't look right, which is very strange because my Warm 2.3 animation looks fine. Sorry I can'y get this working right, but here are the best three versions of it:
Just spinning (30fps)
Just spinning (60fps) [more lag but gets much smoother]
Full animation attempt [still not perfect]

I also tried to go at it myself a few days ago but I'm unsure of what images are what, whether I need to decompile/recompile the apk or if I could just drag and drop the pngs in Winrar, etc. It was my first time rooting and such just a few days ago so I'm still a super n00b.

Just my experiences here: in ROMs with GPU rendering (is that the right term? I'm sleep deprived right now...), like ZR3D and Eternity ROMs, the bootanimations always speed up after the first repetition in a loop. I don't move away from those ROMs and reaper ROM much so I can't tell you if it does the same on other ROMs or not.
Could you make a bootanimation of of red and black UFO (beats audio colored) abducting our phone and then saying beats audio?

How can I go about removing the boot image? Running CoolRom DE 1.4.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Now why would you want to do that?
I guess you could just delete Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip from system/customize/resource but then you would have like 20 seconds of black screen when your phone boots up.
or you can just change the boot animation!
True. Maybe I'll do that.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I suppose you could make a zip with just one image as opposed to several and name it Vigor_VZW_bootamimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resources
So you are ok with black screen?
The coolest boot animation I have seen is Live Logcat and Live Dmesg. It's been a while since I've tried, but I didn't have success on the Rezound.
Anybody want to try out either of them? If you buy both paid versions, then you can run both and touch the screen to switch between them or run both at the same time.
It is animation to end all animations...
Would removing it increase boot time at all? If it doesn't I wouldn't see the point in removing it. It let me know if something is wrong when it just hangs.
