[HowTo] Screen off animation - Gingerbread

[Jordan8]

Okay, I don't know about you guys but I was disappointed that Gingerbread for the DX didn't have the screen off animation. So, here is how you enable it!

THIS IS FOR THE GINGERBREAD LEAK, NOT FROYO
Step 0. Make a backup
Step 1. Download this file to your computer: http://bit.ly/gj5a7H
Step 2. Connect your phone via adb.
Step 3. Do the following commands:

adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
adb shell
su
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot

UPDATE: If you'd rather just flash a .zip in CWM... http://bit.ly/gNdk4E

& enjoy your animation!

I made a zip to flash using clockwork.

Does this work for the droid 2 also?

Honestly, I am not sure if this would work for the Droid 2, since the framework-res.apk files may not be identical between the builds. However, if you are familiar with ADB and can extract the original framework-res.apk and moto-res.apk from your system/framework folder, you can create your own modified framework-res.apk using the instructions from the following link:

Enable electronBeam Animation

You will need APK manager and an ADB setup to perform this process. The entire process literally takes less than 10 minutes, and is a great opportunity to brush up on your ADB experience. This process will definitely work for the Droid 2, though I cannot confirm the files posted here will work.

What exactly does this do? I'm not sure what the animations are.

You rock

Seriously, You rule.

First thing I checked for when I heard about the gingerbread leak, was whether it had this option. Thankfully someone worked this in.



Now my only hope is that framework themers automatically build this in, so that I don't have to manually add this every time I find a theme I like.


Thanks again for the awesome find/post!

this is the sole reason i wanted gingerbread so much =D works perfectly:icon_ banana:

I flashed this on my Droid 2 and there were several other areas where it affected framework such as a messed up lockscreen and some white on white text. The screen off animation worked great though. I look forward to someone hopefully porting this over to Droid 2.

flashing the zip didn't work for me no animation. is there an option I have to turn on?
