Default [CODEROM][THEME] + Enabling CRT animation.

Well I have modified the the theme provided by Lovetz and found out a way to make CRT screen animation work. Samsung had disabled the CRT animation but the program is still there in Our ROM.

Working only for CODEROM but will try to add for other ROMS later.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone.

Theme modifications:
1. Dark MIUI+TouchWiz(only some parts are of TouchWiz)
2. TouchWiz dropdown quickpanel with slightly modified notification and transparent background.
3. Lightweight and fast. (even the scrolling on android frameworks)
4. ENABLED CRT ANIMATION.

How to apply theme:
1. Download the attached zip.
2. Copy to root of SD card.
3. Get into recovery.
4. Apply update and select this zip.
5. Reboot.

Voila. You have the theme. Well even if you didnt like the theme i will try to make orginal theme with working CRT animation. Till then please do adjust.

THEMES:
1. Download and update "coderom_Default.zip" for original theme.
2. Download and update "coderom_MIUIWiz" for this theme.

NOTE: Applying themes is optional. I just gave a theme of mine for fun. But if you just want to enable the screen animations then continue reading and follow the steps given below.



FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.

How to enable CRT animation:

1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .

2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of 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 #.

3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.

4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.

5. Reboot phone.

NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.

NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.

Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.

Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

EDIT:Will soon add the screenshots for this theme.

Nice, great work.
But could you explain what changes you made exactly to enable CRT animation? That would make it easier to implement it in the variety of ROMs that are out there.

Hey man. I too use the Code rom without the theme by lovetz
Just don't install the Update file. Assuming you have rooted yor phone, this is what you should doIt worked for me! And believe me its awesome!!!)

1. Open root explorer.
2.Goto system and copy build.prop to your sdcard.
3.Transfer the build.prop file to windows and open it with wordpad (not notepad)
4. Do as he says(ie the code change)
5.put it back on your system/ using root explorer, and reboot. Remember to enable all animations in settings>display>animations


Thank me!!! (ie. press thx button)

Don't forget to press the thank button twice every day if my post helped you in any way

I have added the original theme too. But if you can understand what manju991 says then do what he says.

@manju991- Thanks man but one thing, i changed my build.prop with a freshly flashed coderom but i went into a bootloop. This happened to me many a times. Thats why i tried to try different xmls and try to make screen animation work. Did you have the same problem?

Well AFAIK this will surely not work in nexus ROM. But if you know something about apktool and etc you can try to extract framework-res.apk and change one xml boolean value and do the same build.prop edit. There are many threads regarding nexus on this topic.

no, it's not nexus rom i mean but codenexus, the v2 of coderom. it's same with coderom v1 but with ext4 support and some tweaks. i thought it's use same framework but when i install the theme i got force close on my screen and setting menu is missing from app drawer.
