[REL] FroyoBeam: Gingerbread's screen on/off animation for Froyo | v001 | 27-05-11

doixanh · May 11, 2011

Intro
First of all, this is not a module

I'm trying to port Gingerbread's TV screen on/off animation to Froyo. Those f**ckin cool animations are the only reason for me to use GB!. I'm happy with Froyo, as everything works, and smoother feelings.

Progress
- Screen on : Good.
- Screen off : Good.
- Animation when screen timed out : Good.

Release
May 27th, FroyoBeam source is pushed to my github : https://github.com/doixanh/X8Features

Notice
We (the X8 users) spent some time testing the animations in my FroyoBread, and it seems to be good. I modified CM6 source, so it may not compatible with some ROMs. If the compilation fails, check inside the published source and take the lines around "dx" to your ROM's source.

More notice
0. This is a work-in-progress. I don't care that it's on xda-news or not. This is my attempt to satisfy my need (GB animations on Froyo). And I saw somebody saying it should be finished before being posted on xda-news. Did you fully read the news?

This hasn’t been released yet, due to the developer wanting to make sure it works perfectly, and he has kindly asked that you do not ask when it will be released

1. This mod should be compatible with most devices
2. These animations cannot be packaged as an update.zip, because
3. Lots of things are modified inside the CM6 source, not modding xml files and so on, and
4. The "release" that I mentioned will be a source release, and is intended to be used by ROM builders.
5. End-users will have to wait for their ROM builders to rebuild the ROM with patched source.
6. My FroyoBread ROM is built with personal purpose, and for experimenting my source code modifications.

Enjoy, ROM builders and users

Great, so people like the animation too.

Well, what files that related to the animation?

cruizz · May 11, 2011

gosh...this is what im waiting for

...old tv screen off..it's gonna be awesome

Graveir · May 11, 2011

Are you going to make one specific animation, or are you getting a few of them? Or are there even multiple to choose from?

Also: is it a script that runs some animation files? What are these, gifs, mpgs, avis? Because we could create additional ones and simply replace the animations within the script (if it works like that).

auphone · May 11, 2011

Awesome

can't wait !!

WTF guys? Don't spam this thread with something like "yeah I like that..."

Stop spamming until the topic doesn't contain [DEV]

Graveir · May 11, 2011

I don't consider my post spam. I'd like to prepare new animations (if I'm able to prepare them in the output format), so I'm asking specific questions.

doixanh · May 11, 2011

This is stock screen on/off animation from gingerbread. You can see the clip. It's nothing to do with new animation or output format.

It's hard-coded inside android source.

c0dex · May 11, 2011

is it only for froyo? wat about eclair?

aldee_s · May 11, 2011

I am asking, what files that related to the animation? I want to know, not just saying i like the animation.

Graveir · May 11, 2011

Oh, I see. I simply didn't know how it works

And I believed that it is still based on some graphic files.

Well then, good luck porting it

You've probably already seen that but just in case

nobodyAtall · May 11, 2011

This CRT animation is burried in surfaceflinger an has lots of dependencies on gb changes. Many have claimed this to be impossible... please prove them wrong mate ;-)

doixanh · May 11, 2011

Yep I'm trying to do that ;-) It seems that I cannot "take screenshot" to make it as an GL texture for screen on...

aldee_s: it's in the source of libsurfaceflinger. You have to modify the source and recompile if you want to do anything

aldee_s · May 11, 2011

hoo, then i cannot do anything yet, because i dont have the source yet, cause my connection sucks, hehe, sorry, i thought i can help.

Well, good luck doing it, you're super(module)man.

sorry if you consider my posts here as spam.

There is an app that does something similar so it is clearly possible to do, just needs building into the system and then to replace the default power button action

doixanh · May 11, 2011

Yeah I know that program. It does not work in case the screen is off after timeout, or when pressing power button...

XperianPro · May 11, 2011

Lockscreen should be modded for this to make this work.

doixanh · May 11, 2011

I don't have to mod anything with any lock screen....

/edit : uploaded first WIP clip. Check first post.

doixanh · May 12, 2011

Update:

On/off animation is working, but only white/gray color. I still couldn't get the screen content to put into the texture. Will look deeper into this.

I managed to enable the animations while pressing power buttons. When the screen timed out, there is no animation. Maybe we have to look into power management service also...
