Earlier today I got into a discussion about CRT monitors with a bunch of nerds. We all spoke lovingly of the ffffffTWWAANGGGGGGG noise that degaussing makes and the general benefits of doing this action periodically to your screens. One of the gentlemen in the room mentioned that his Motorola Droid Evo 4g has a screen flicker and washout much like a crt that needs a degaussing.
This led me to wonder, "Why hasn't the dev community created a degaussing application for our phones?" After all, we spend dozens to hundreds of hours and dollars in modification to and accessorizing our phones. Why not take it a step further and make sure that the screen itself has an even longer life?
So who is with me dev scene? I'm to damn stupid to develop this application as my fundamental knowledge of how linux actually works on a ground level is severely lacking. I implore one of you randy fancypants out there: Please help nerds have that delicious fffffTWANNGGGG again.
Edit: I just realized this would be much better suited for general android application development. Can a mod move it?
hey matey, this would be a great idea, however lcd's dont need deguassing lol
althought it would be amazing as a screen on animation or a timeout animation lol
i can see why you want a degaussing feature but i dont really think its necessary and that's wiithout taking into account its impossible lol.
degaussing is he method of clearing magnetic interferance and other electrostatic interferences out of the screen that just dont effect a lcd screen which is one of the benifits of them
great idea though!!
Okay well that being said I think it would be a fantastic boot animation/noise.
of course ! that would be amazing, using it as animation and boot animation would be cool... have you seen the CRT animation for screen off and on, its on cyanogen mod roms its pretty neat!

ahh fair enough then sorry
SGS4g actually needs degaussing- mine at least
I tricked a nephew of mine to trade an old samsung S4g vibrant (tmobile) with a relatively new Galaxy Y. I wanted to play around with an older phone for tweaking experiments and I noticed after a month now (and 5 Roms and several wipes) that a shadow of the android keyboard shows up everytime the screen displays a white background. It does not show up on black though and it reminds me of the old degauss issue with crt monitors.... Is there any solution for this?

This sounds exactly like LCD burn-in. I don't think there's much you can do about it if the screen already shows ghost images like that.
A fake degauss would be a great animation for a FC, but since something is already crashing, wouldn't the animation have trouble playing smoothly, especially full-screen?
(Apologies for the junk post, but I'm trying to get enough posts to give feedback on stuff in the Dev section.)

I noticed that the DROID boot animation is like 2x as big as the nexus one's boot animation. Anyway to get the bigger boot screen? Port from droid maybe?
I've no idea, just wanted to ask why?
You see it for like 5 seconds when you turn the phone on. It's not going to impress anyone...

well i don't want to sound like an ass, but obviously, i started this thread for a reason.....
Since i figure both DROID + N1 boot screens are animated, unlike MT3G or G1, there might be a port out there for the bigger boot screen. And i don't think it should be too hard since they are both Android 2.X?
Indulge me: what does the Droid's boot screen look like? Tried to search on youtube and all I saw were custom boot screens.

Red "DROID" letters flashing in the effect like in the commercials. . . .I think
Its just a glowing eye. I always thought it looked dumb.
I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!
​
Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do

That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.

Idea for Startup Animation
Hi There,
I am a huge fan of energy Roms as well!
I thought the following would be cool!
X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...
Wish I knew how to but maybe you can do this for us??

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?
Will most likely be uploading a youtube video of it today.

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine
i like it alot

I went for 2 years. I got 2 weeks off for winter break, and 1 week off for summer break. if you want your summer off you can have them add another 3 months for each summer. thats just for the associates degree. its another year for the bachelor degree and that gets you ready for making video games.

I will work on it as soon as i get a chance. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day. I will also try and do this for every boot screen I make. There will of course be a few that are only for energyrom
Been watching videos of the nexus s and even though there are so many similarities there are a couple things I envy.
.The camera flash
.Ext4 filesystem
.The FFC and NFC and Nand chips
Besides that, the bluetooth, no expandable memory and no radio to support full HSPA+ are dealbreakers.
Now the Request I was wondering if anyone has seen the awesome screen off animation. Looks like turning off an old tube tv, and I was wondering IF anyone can port it over to the vibrant?
Thanks in advance
I want to see it on my vibrant too!!
+1 on that ive been looking around and haven't seen any ports though
If you are talking about the startup animation, then eugene's most recent rom has that startup animation. A bunch of colored lines converging to the middle forming an x.

No were talking about a animation that happens when you hit the power button to lock the screen it looks like turning off an old school tv set

Very true.
Vibrant
wouldn't it be a bit annoying to have that everytime you turn your screen off? it looks pretty badass, but.. yeah...
what does the shutdown look like?

Just Youtubed it. It looks BAD ASS.
I wants it.
The latest supercurio's voodoo injected kernels provide us with ext4 not only for /data, also for /system, /cache and /dbdata.
Flash is a personal preference, I for one do not see it as a big of a deal. FFC can be retrofitted into our phones. What really makes ns stand out is google complete support behind it but given the development support vibrant has received I don't think I will ditch my vibrant for ns, I might get ns in addition though

Having played around with the boot animation I'm wondering if you'd (you reading this) would consider taking the time to outline what you think makes a good custom boot animation...
I'd love to put some effort into making quality boot animations of varying types - not necessarily what I think is nice or cool but rather, what the community would like to see. What 'you' want to see.
I'm open to any and all original idea's and suggestions. You'll get full 'concept' credit if your ideas makes it into a new release.
Let's hear'em.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCYj3aiQE4 CAN YOU DO THIS?
Well I played around with the stock version but I can't get the zip under 14mb at 1280x800. Seem like overkill imo.
Also, it is kind of all over the place in multiple itterations.
I kind of feel bad now - having asked for suggestions and opening up discussion, just to put the breaks on the first idea that comes in ): I am sorry.
I edited my original post to include the word, original.
Don't be shy. Throw your ideas agains't the wall and lets see what sticks. This is an open discussion for everyone.

I'm not rehashing boot animations. Sorry guys.
Just bumping back to page 1. Still looking for discussion - your thoughts and what you'd like to see.
Don't be shy. (;
How about an X-wing type craft, with an Android instead of an R2 unit, I don't think that I'd even have a cockpit, just an Android. Doing a final trench run, and as the pan out an apple blows to bits as the craft flys at ya.
If I had the talent that would be what I would make first. I'd love to see it.
Can you do this with the Acer stats?
MOD EDIT:
PLEASE UPLOAD A SMALLER IMAGE SIZE
There are already some faux-pc start up boot animations. I'm not interested in rehashing boot animations.
How about start with the iPad bootscreen then have it fizzle and die replaced by a dancing android
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
lol! That could be quick and easy to do.
Personally, I always wanted to design a simple bootscreen(not that I have any clue how to do it)of the zig-zaggy heart monitor screen flat lined and then slowly getting a heart beat back as it comes on...possibly if you wanted to, instead of the blood pressure and pulse rate numbers in the corners throw up the processor speed or whatever numeric stat you wanna stick there. Possibly even a little flashing android in place of the little flashing heart.
Either that, or just a picture of Steve Jobs' head on a pike...just kidding.
Don't want ANY boot animations.
Anything running like that will slow the boot down, even if it's just 1 second.
Why do people what all pretty pictures and fancy spin window animations when all they do is waste time and power??
ALL my anims are turned off, both the A500 and Windows 7 desktop.
Hate animations and fancy twirl-openings, page turns on book reader, etc

I don't believe this is the case at all. If it was blank, all you'd see is a blank screen while the system files and the OS prepares to launch the GUI. I'd rather see something than a blank screen.

As far as I know, there is no way to stop the boot animation except to replace it with something blank. All this will do, however, is cause the screen to be blank while the system loads. I don't believe it will speed it up. And the amount of power the boot animation uses it minuscule. If any, during the course of the average up-time.

Be that as it may - I think you've confused the boot animation with desktop animations. They are not the same nor interchangeable.
This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas.
No, I haven't confused desktop anims with boot anims.
All I'm saying is that ANYTHING the cpu is doing (including displaying animated thingys) takes up cpu cucles and memory. if it has to break off reading a file to shove the next frame to the graphics gpu side of itself, it has to take some time. Time I'd rather it used to boot up..
If I have to have a boot anim, I'd rather it be super basic, barely there than have a multi swirly 3D effect running.
"This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas."
I accept that, but my answer to that question is still "nothing", or "the barest minimum" - it's still an idea, after all, and a valid point.
Well nobody's going to argue with you personal opinion of boot animations. So... moving on...

You should make a boot logo based on what rom you are using.
Eg: If I have Virtuous Galaxy rom I can download a neat looking boot animation showing something with Virtuous Galaxy loading.
@gammaRascal - I appreciate what you say about not wanting to rehash your previous efforts but for those of us who drool over your animations it's rather like throwing a dog a juicy bone, no matter how good it is he is always going to beg for more! Would really like to see your "GR-Frosty v.2" animation but with the Android replaced with your new "geared" Android figure. By the way I have previously let you know that Frosty v.2 works beautifully on OTA 3.1 - still does - no lag - have you had your update yet?
Hi Guys,
I noticed Samsung included a nice futuristic animation that goes around the front camera cutout whenever you try to unlock the phone or take a photo with the camera.
I was wondering if it's possible to get the same animation on the OP6T, around the notch, whenever one gets a new message.
I understand there's the scare of screen burn, but i think if it's well done, it can look quite nice and solve the issue of lack of notification LED.
Anyone?
That would be really nice if someone could do it ! 1+ from me !
I doubt it bc 6t notch is not embedded in the screen like the s10... But you can try this....

I'm not sure about the technicalities, so i can't say much!
But when it comes to the apps everyone is using out there, they seem to hurt the battery life and are sometimes unstable, while this feature would be extremely slick and helpful.
Samsung also did it with a notch on their M phone, I think. So it's possible. I'd really love to see that implemented by OnePlus.
How can we get this to the attention of the developers?
fixed it
use the app KLWP and code yourself a good live wallpaper, worked for the notch of my pocophone f1
Is there a way you can share that and explain how you did it?
Why would you want something goofy like this, witch, since it is an animation, will take video memory, processing speed & battery life to perform? I hear people complaining all the time (not just Oppo phones) about phones being slow, poor battery life bla bla bla.
All that glitter/bling/eye candy comes at a cost.
I for one, turn on developer options, and set all my graphics to 0.5x.
If I wanted goofy animations, I'd buy an iPhone.
