do you have the compiled version of the CRT TV effect?

 

[tweezit]

I will post a version later as the one I got is tweaked and would more and likely cause you guys bootloops.

I decompiled framework but I don't have a values folder in res. Am I missing something? Thanks!

are you sure you "decompiled"? or just extracted?

 

[dubntz]

I used APK Manager. Does that not decompile it?

Going to update my guide so people know to decompile and not extract

I used APK Manager. Does that not decompile it?

if you used the decompile option it should have.

 

[dubntz]

Yeah, I just extracted and did not decompile it. Now that I did it right I see the file. Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

I'm a little curious. Chris mentioned they left the screen-off animation disabled because of issues they were having. Have you experienced any issues at all?

What would you suggest to look into if the setting is already set to false?

Thanks! Now I gotta reflash 2.3 so I can try to get the status bar vanilla.

Yes on some roms you will get wake lag bad & others it will work fine.. On the 2.3 leak it will go to a black screen for a while. (that's due to 2.2.2 drivers though from what I can tell.)

Have you got it to work on cm7?

Is it possible to clarify what framework-res.apk is referred this tutorial?

I read these posts and seems like it has not mentioned so far. However, in my case (i am running MoDaCo Fr16 CR) after decompiling framework-res.apk i cannot see that config inside res->values->bool.xml.

Maybe i'm missing something

Thanks in advance.

lol, just thought that was amusing. let's not annoy dianne.
anyways,trying this now on bionix.

 

[crazythunder]

i'm no expert at decompiling etc. just figured it out today lol. i'm pretty positive i did it correctly using apktool. however, after copying the compiled apk back to phone, it just hangs at a black screen on reboot. maybe i did it right and it's just not compatible with bionix? i did read on the apktool site that it won't be signed after recompiling. is this why it won't work? anybody successful here?
