I think you should have posted this in themes and apps section but nevertheless this is your answer-
You will need-
a)APK Manager from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
b) .zip manager (I suggest 7-zip or winrar for windows and archive manager for linux)
c) text editor ( Notepad++ in windows or gedit/write in linux )
d) framework-res.apk from /system/framework that you want to modify and build.prop from /system.
e)Root explorer/Fileexpert or adb to pull framework-res.apk and build.prop
First thing using root explorer or adb pull the above files to your computer.Then do the following..
1) Once you extract APKManager you should have a folder called "APKManager," somewhere.
2) Within that folder there's another folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding". Place you desired framework-res.apk into that folder.
3) Navigate back to the root of "APKManager", and double-click "Script.bat"in windows or "Script.sh" in linux
4) Press option 9 to decompile the apk. (It may take some time)
5) Once finished, navigate to "APKManager\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values".
6) Inside look for a file called "bool.xml". Open it using your notepad++ or gedit
and find and change the
"<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
7) Remember to save! Not "save as," but save.
8) Doubl-click "Script.bat" or "Script.sh"again, and choose option 11 to sign the apk
9) Say "y" to first option.
10) When that is done, a new folder called "keep" will be created. Open that folder, and delete resource.arsc.
11) Say "y" to the last option.
12) It will ask you to press any key, do that, and it will finish.
13) Navigate to the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder, and you'll see a new file called, "unsignedframework-res.apk" open it with a .zip manager, and take the resource.arsc file from it, and transfer it to your original framework-res.apk (Which should be in the same folder)
14) Now push the modified original framework-res.apk(with new resource.arsc) onto your phone /system/framework using adb or copy by root explorer/fileexpert, and set permissions using root explorer to -rw -r -r or use chmod 644 framework-res.apk using adb. There wil be force-closes using root explorer when copying..just ignore that and set permissions and reboot.
15) Now pull build.prop from /system to your computer
16) Open build.prop and modify the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #
17) Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer and set permssions similarly as in above.
18)Reboot and go to settings>>display>>animations and choose all animations. Enjoy your crt screenoff animation.

did as told but no luck. I'm using S5830XEKPH 2.3.4 firmware (Booted)
I have just noted that root explorer is not replacing framework file with the new one.
Requirements:
1.root explorer
2.battery,wifi,signal,and data icons
3.brain
Lets start
1.open root explorer/system/app/ and copy
SystemUI.apk to ur sdcard (this is ur back up)
2.go to system/app and extract your
systemUI.apk and Go to extracted.
3.Tap the SystemUI folder and go to res/
drawable mdip. find the wifi,signal and data
you like to change.
4.Rename ur new icon to original name like
this>
stat_sys_signal_1.png
stat_sys_signal_2.png
stat_sys_signal_3.png
stat_sys_signal_4.png
stat_sys_signal_1_fully.png etc.
stat_sys_wifi_1.png etc. (or the name of ur
orig icon in res/drawable mdip)
5.after u rename all of .pngs paste it to res/
drawable mdip and replace.
6.zip your systemui folder and rename it to
SystemUI.apk
7.Move or Copy ur new SystemUI.apk to /
System and change the permission to r-w-r-r
and move it again to System/app then reboot.
u will see your new signal,data,wifi icon
If ur battery icon was not in res/drawable
mdip
it is in framework. just dont the same
procedure above. Happy Modding
Step 1: copy TouchWizHome_ZERO to system/priv-app (delete provisos one NOT easy laucher).
Link:- mega.nz/#!tsNhnIwR!z3Fsf7YPL58Dd771u-Ymk4ht1V0AGX-2izayCz4za3Q
(IMP)Step 2: Set Correct permission, for folder (i.e TouchWizHome_ZERO ,arm, lib) to 0755
And for all files is 0644
Step 3: Restart.
NOTE: Use root Browser for doing all above operation. if thire is black status bar then set the wallpaper any it will fix.

3- apktool if framework-res.apk
4- apktool if SystemUI.apk
5- apktool d SystemUI.apk
6- Open SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml and add android:clickable="false" to the top most xml element
7- Open xhdpi folder and replace the corrupt pip_dismiss_scrim.9.png file with the file on the top of my post link
8- run apktool b SystemUI
9- Go to SystemUI\original and copy AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF to SystemUI\build\apk\
10- run apktool b SystemUI again
11- Go to SystemUI\dist\ and override the device's original SystemUI.apk with the one at SystemUI\dist\SystemUI.apk with adb push SystemUI\dist\SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
