This simple guide will show you how to enable the CRT animation on any Gingerbread build. It's a fairly easy process, but it does require one developer tool: apktool. You can download it below.
Download APKTOOL
On Windows, download apktool-windows and apktool.jar
Extract the file contents in each archive into your Windows folder:
C:\Windows
Save your framework-res.apk file to a place that you know
I saved mine to: C:\hktw\framework-res.apk
Open the[FONT=inherit !important] command prompt[/FONT]
On Windows, press the Start button, type: cmd, press the Enter button
You’ll need to change the directory of your commands to the one where you saved your .apk file
Type the “cd” command and then the directory where you saved your file.
cd C:\hktw
Now you need to tell apktool to decompile the framework…
apktool d -f framework-res.apk
You should see in your .apk folder a new folder has been created: “framework-res”
Inside of that folder you can now see all of the decompiled parts of your .apk
Edit res/values/bools.xml
Change "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
When you’re done editing, you’ll need to recompile the .apk
cd C:\hktw
apktool b -f framework-res
Note the inclusion of the “.apk” during decompilation, and the exclusion of the “.apk” during recompilation
After you’ve sent the recompile command, apktool will work and eventually create two new folders called “dist” and “build”
Inside of the “build” folder will be the recompiled parts of your .apk
Open the original .apk file using WinRAR of 7zip
Drag and drop the “resources.arsc” file inside of “build/apk” to the root of your original .apk
Now place that modified framework-res.apk in your /system/framework. You're done!Alternatively, you can use my CWM installable package attached below on HKTW 2.3.4.
You make it so complicated, then so easy!

I've been so busy. I'm going to try my best as soon as we get the OTA build for AT&T.
I installed the hktw build and then enabled Animations and I get the CRT animation....was I not supposed to?

This won't work on our Atrix's yet, though, correct? As I recall we're still on Froyo. Sorry, I'm just a bit confused as this was posted in the Atrix forums. I assume we have to wait for the upcoming 2.3.x update for this to work?

I enbaled animations after I flashed and already had the CRT. Animations were disabled by default
Uhh, yea...I got my crt animation simply by enabling all window animations in the settings....

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

IHTFP69 was nice enough to prepare a hot boot patch for us Virtuous users. This is based on version 3.1 - flash at your own risk. Don't forget to nandroid first!!! Flash in Clockwork Mod and you'll have reboot in your power menu with 4 options (Recovery, Bootloader, Normal and Hot Boot).

You can buy it on the market, or use SkyRaider3.3 which has hibernate as well. I go back and forth between SR and stock with the 3-in-1 reboot feature and the hot reboot from the market.
That thread you posted worked great. Any idea how to change up the icons?
If I were to supply the icons, would someone be able to swap them out? I'm assuming the icons are embedded in the jar file... if anyone can guide on where I can find out how to edit the jar file, I'd appreciate it. The jar file is all that I am pushing to my phone and the icons are still changing on the power menu so they must be in there somewhere.
Help a guy learn! ;p
The actual system icons are only in framework-res.apk and no where else. For Sense roms, there are also some in com.htc.resources.apk. There are only references to them in the framework (jar) files.
Holy ****... how in the hell is it possible that flashing that hotboot zip in the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792542
I flashed that and all of my icons were different... black and white only and different graphics. I'll post a screenshot shortly.
Here we go.. Is the jar file maybe referencing different png files?
Edit: can't upload this format. I'll convert it when I'm on the computer.

I like to use winrar.... not 100% sure what you are trying to theme, but winrar has been great for me when porting and compiling..
Just encase you didn't know, an apk is pretty much the same as a zip, so you can normally just change the name from .zip to .apk after compiling on winrar.

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?
hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.
hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

You can use it with any stock based rom. You can get the apk and .odex file from the repack's zip. Don't deodex it.It's faster leaving it that way and sometimes (rarely) opt codes get lost when deodexing.

Not without adding the lg-framework stuff that it depends on to the cm10 framework.
Firstly i tried normally deodexing and pushing to system/app, then i read what you wrote here... You are right xonar ;p
LG uses opt codes that are fast but are 'unsafe' and is only allowed in odex files. ( why V30 repack is so fast and snappy compared to cm10 )
'unsafe' meaning if it's used wrong it can have unexpected results at unexpected places.
The reference I'm using is fairly old so it might've changed.

You can't deodex those files. It loses some byte-ops.
