Where can I find a flashable zip for CRT animations on the new OTA? I'd rather mod my stock ROM than flash a new ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

From what I know, there are many changes needing to be made to an Sense ROM in order to make this work. CPU changes, animation .xml's needing modded, and smali files. In addition to that, there are probably some changes in framework and com.htc.resources.apk, services.jar (which in order to be DeOdexed, all other apps need deodexed as well, I do believe).
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but, I have been looking at making my own (after searching a bit just like you have, I'm sure, for a flashable). It's fairly complicated, even though you wouldn't think it would be.

I just updated my firmware to STOCK 2.2 (KA6) which I downloaded from CHAINFIRE's thread. Now I rooted my phone and its working fine for me.
Than I see another post for Deodexed KA6 from Whitehawkx. what is that. that also says original stock. am confused now.
can any one please explain me difference between both stock & Odex & deodex things.
Also how to flash this Deodexed KA6 (same as ODIn or any other method).
I was wondering the same thing....so i googled it...

This maybe inaccurate but I have a reasonable idea of what it is... it's just hard to explain.
If you look in the system/app and system/framework you will see the filename.apk along with it's counterpart filename.odex. With a deodexed rom it places the filename.odex and converts it to filename.dex (not odex) and places it within filename.apk. But most importantly the framework MUST support the deodexed files! If the framework is looking for filename.odex files that aren't there you will end up in a bootloop. It just won't work. But the benifits of having deodexed files is that it's easier to theme and replace. In some cases you can take a app.apk and replace it with differentappfromdifferentrom.apk. When you have a odexed rom you just can't do that.
You will notice that many themes and modifcations will not include support for odex roms so having a deodexed rom is definitly the way to go!
Some people have argued that having an odexed rom causes your device to perform better! But I have never noticed any difference personally and frankly I'm skeptical. Tasters choice.
I googled it as well. Here was one of the better hits....

oooohhhhhhhhhhhh! thx now I know and knowing is half the battle GI JOE... GO COBRA!
Hey can someone incorporate all these mods into one flashable zip? Since the most of the mods modify the same system apps they undo the other mods, and i have no idea how to incorporate them all together.... So help would be appreciated!

I can tell you that the first 2 are two different files so they won't conflict with anything unless you already have a "theme" you're using.
CRT animations resides in the services.jar file, which won't overwrite anything you currently have going, as it has no images and isn't related to the look of your phone.
The Zeus mods file up there is one I modified to have gingerbread icons, and is part of the system that most people modify to change signal bars, battery icons, etc (SystemUI.apk) so it will change what you currently have as those.
Not too sure about the beats.
The 7-in-1 reboot mod, I personally haven't looked at that particular file you linked, but if it is what I think it is, then that file won't change or overwrite anything either, as it is the android.policy.jar file, which like services.jar doesn't include anything that will change the theme, UI, or look of your phone.
Hope this helps.
Recap:
You can flash the first and last file without changing anything you currently have. And if you want gingerbread icons, you can flash the second one. You can easily take what you currently have (if you're using a theme or you just want to preserve the look of your SystemUI.apk) and insert it into the SystemUI.apk that's in the zeus mods file.
All you need is WinRAR or 7-zip. If that's what you're trying to accomplish, reply back and I will walk you through it.

OK so come to think of it I have all of the mods installed except the beats audio. When I installed the beats audio it canceled out the crt animations and I figured if I had to pick between crt and beats audio that I'd have crt animation. So I figured out that the crt and beats both modify the services.jar but I had no idea how to modify the services.jar file to incorporate crt and beats.

Just from reading a lot of ROM threads, you can only choose one or the other. I'm not sure if anyone has incorporated both crt+beats. You may want to check the infected eternity ROM thread and if if has them both, extract the services.jar file from that particular ROM.

Hey guys..
I have been trying to add crt animation on/off to my rom (Stock sense rooted deodexed, latest OTA update) for a while using the tutorial found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2553-dev-enabling-crt-on-off-animation-in-roms-how-to/
I have flashed the various premade enable crt animation zips found on here but because my rom is a different rom from everyone elses, apparently I have a different services.jar, so it just wont boot with it. I have tried making the changes in the smali files my own but I guess its not recompiling right. Just won't boot past the boot animation screen. If anyone could apply the changes that would be awesome! I already have the settings updated in the framework-res file.
Really guys 45 views no reply? I'll tip

Try this.
If that doesn't work try this one.
If this doesn't work then I'm not savvy enough to help. Sorry.
I tried both files, both get about as far as mine did.. only showing the boot screen animation and staying there.
BTW thank you VERY much for trying. Definitely greatful!.

You already edited the framework-res.apk file, right?
Correct. The following is in my framework-res.apk
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
EDIT
Well I gave a try at editing the services.jar file again from scratch, this time the phone booted with the edits, but still no CRT animations. hmmm
try this c if it helps

That file was made by xboarder and was intended for QuikSense 1.4.1 which was a heavily modified version of stock thus may not work on a standard stock rom. Precaution is advised.

i have speedrom 9 rom, is possible activate crt animation?
I joined this forum 7 months ago. Since then I've been using mods made by developers of this forum. Mods which have made life easier and using my phone more fun. I would like to thank the developers for those superb mods, rooting solutions, CWM, quickpanels, battery icon with percentage, init.d and build.prop tweaks to improve performance, fantastically modded stock home launchers, ports of walkman player, clear bass; sound mods, beats, xsincrediblebass; fonts, system apps from other phones, boot animations, supercharger, rebootpower menu etc etc :victory:
I would also like to make a special mention of ROMs for locked bootloaders. When I first unlocked my bootloader and tried to apply a custom kernel, I realized that my phone has NAND bad blocks. So I had thought that I would never be able to flash custom ROMs. But thanks to the developers who started making custom ROMs for locked bootloaders, I could get a taste of custom ROMs too:good:
There are somethings that I would like to request,
1) May be a method to flash custom kernels for phone's which have bad sector errors. May be custom kernels in .ftf format which can be flashed in flashmode??
2) A way to apply only the mods that we require. For example If my systemUI already has a quickpanel and I want to apply a mod which changes battery icons, it should be able to update our existing systemUI.apk or whichever system apk is involved, so that the previous mods are unaffected. Not only battery icons but big mods like lockscreen mod etc could be applied by this method of updating existing files.
3) I would really like to have a taste of CyanogenMod ROMs on my phone with locked bootloader:fingers-crossed:
I don't know if these things are impossible. I'm just a noob

2. Remove whatever you do not need from the mod zip file using 7zip, but make sure not extract the files.
3. That's impossible. As CM needs custom Kernel, and custom Kernel needs unlocked bootloader.
Thanks,
Rick

I do remove files which I don't need from flashable zips. But in some cases, like battey icon and quickpanel, same file's modification is needed. SystemUI.apk and may be framework.apk. When I apply a mod related to these files, already existing file will be replaced. So for one mod v have to sacrifice an already existing mod
I'm still hopefull about cyanogenmod. May be someone could make a cyanogenmod based ROM with many of it's features included for stock kernel:fingers-crossed:
I figured I would convert this mod to our device using code in the unified thread. (Props to original author and Rompnit).
It took a bit of tweaking to get it to work on the Sprint variant but it seems to be functioning as intended.
This is for Odexed stock(ish) roms only!
It replaces services.jar and build.prop. If you have tweaks to your build prop that you don't want set to defaults then I recommend you install the jar and odex file manually and edit your build.prop with whatever tool you see fit
A lot of mods affect the services.jar as well, noteably the unlock hotspot mod. That's why it's included FREE with this mod.
What a deal!
The changes I made to the build.prop are simply these additions. The rest is stock
#CRT Mod
persist.sys.screen_on=fade
persist.sys.screen_off=crt
These can be changed to set your on/off animation type. Options are CRT/FADE/NONE
Standard Use at Your Own Risk stuff Blah Blah
Enjoy
It's usually better to provide a deodexed copy as odexed relies on the same exact framework that it was odexed with to be present for the files to function at all
On the other hand, deodexed will function on any rom including odexed roms (when yup delete/move the odex files affected)

I provide Odexed mods mainly because nobody else is doing it. And because odexed versions are usually the first thing people ask for, and because deodexing seems to break too many functions I use like private mode and S-Health issues.
I'll post the edited smali if anyone wants to use it for anything.

You would need root access to flash the completed product to your device.
What would it take to port the crt mod to moar 7 rom.i had it on stock rom with xposed. I want to get it back without xposed.
