Hi all,

In the past a few mods have caught my eye, over time they've slowed stopped being available on all devices, mostly because of changes made to android.

Here's a list of the ones I liked most.

1. Screen off animation, the CRT on /off it just looked amazing.

2. List view animations, not completely gone but not exactly something you can just flash.

3. Halo, I know this was paranoid androids, but it never got ported over quite as much as I thought it would..

My question is are these available anywhere ? Any idea how to flash them ? Or even if anyone misses them like I do?

I know that CRT and list view can be obtained by flashing two Xposed modules called

Screen off animation and xui mod.

Halo I've never seen outside of PA.

But these mods used to be flash able as standalone without Xposed.

Personally I'd like to avoid Xposed as it breaks so much and I don't like it to be honest, although its a great bit of software.

Any ideas ?

You can use Screen Off and Lock ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en ) to achieve your desired screen lock effect. I too LOVE the CRT T.V. off look that Moto put on their phones some time ago. I use this app all the time in conjunction with Nova Launcher's ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en ) double tap action just to make everything super fluid. As for the list animations, I am not too sure what you mean but they may be found in Nova settings too. I know it has an option for something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as the Halo type things you may want there is an app called Unique Controls and does not require root. Hope this helps!

This is one of my old HTC devices the list view animations can be seen here as can the screen off animation,. The CRT animation was changed from not existing to CRT to fade which it is now, the Nexus devices had it originally then vanilla type phones like Moto followed suit.

I've seen the application and it's not quite the same, although it wasn't last I tried it, I'll give it a whirl and see how it is.

Same with unique contrails, sorry I probably should have mentioned this too, they aren't quite the same as the originals.

Appreciate you taking the time to answer though, thanks.

From what i remember it was something to do with surface flinger but I remember that that has now changed although could be wrong (screen off animation that is)

Any other ideas?

Ok so that app has come a long way, by all accounts it doesn't allow for the actual power button to show the screen animation and fingerprint didn't work, probably a way to map a key to it.

Will check it out tomorrow

Cheers
