[MOD][XPOSED] CRT off effect [NO LONGER SUPPORTED] - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

You have probably heard about a modification that makes your phone look like an old CRT TV when you turn it off. This is actually a builtin effect, but it is disabled by default.
There is a tutorial by tweezit that shows how easy it is to enable this effect - but it requires you to change framework-res.apk. There are different threads that offer those modified files, but to combine different modifications, there have to be many different files with all possible combinations.
To avoid this, I'm developing the Xposed framework, which allows such modifications without changing any APK (or JAR in this case). All you need to do is install the Xposed framework app (root required) and then the attached module for it - both with the normal APK installer as any other app.
Tested with Stock LPQ, but should work for most ICS ROMs (not sure about CM9 though).
This mod is no longer supported. Please use my Tweakbox instead.

Very good work. When we add this apk and the Xposed framework app, the effect is automaticaly enabled or we need to enable this by the app? Thanks.

There is a short installation guide with screenshots in the framework thread.
Yes, you need to click a button to actually install the framework (what you download is the installer) and click a checkbox to enable the module. But both should be easy and fast.

Sweet! I've been looking for the CRT effect for my stock rom. And you have made it surprinsingly easy to install it! Thank you!

I would love to see more of these modules. Thx for the sharing!

This module is now integrated in my Tweakbox. I recommend using that module instead.

didn't work with cm9

I may be wrong, but i think this is for Samsung ROM..

I thought CM9 might already have this as an option? Well anyway, this mod is deprecated. Try using my Tweakbox, which includes this mod in a cleaner version. If that also doesn't work for you, follow these questions (and please also let me know if other Xposed mods work for you).

Shame we cannot do this without root :-(
Im scared to root my phone...

It should work on any stock ICS ROM.

Hello everyone
Does this crt off effect works properly? Because until now there is an annoying flickering of the screen.
Is this problem solved ?

This mod works as good or bad as other CRT mods do. The difference is that you can combine it with other Xposed mods.
The whole thing is just a switch that is enabled, the effect itself is already existing in the ROM. I see the flickering as well. This is reported to be a bug in a native library, so I cannot fix it.
Please also note that this version of the mod is no longer supported as I have integrated it into my Tweakbox.

Just installed the mod, works fine on my device - so simply unchecking it in the Xpose app then restarting will revert it back?
(I actually got the flickering after the effect with another mod with a cwm install but now its not present)
EDIT: Spoke too soon - the flickering came back after a few locks and unlocks... no ideas why, but it's too much of a distraction for me so I had to uninstall it.

Yes, unchecking
a mod disables it after a restart. Same thing for uninstalling the mod of course, but then it will be automatically enabled if you install it again.
I personally can live with fhe flickering from time to time, but that's up to every user to decide for themselves.

Updating Busybox should fix that. I think this needs to go into the FAQs, several people reported it already.

There is a fix available for the flickering issue in original android development thread

Yes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676378
And it's working great for me and many others.
As you are already using Xposed, you could try a beta version that I just uploaded. It contains a setting apply the patch on-the-fly (that is in the memory), so you do not even need to replace any more files.

I had already modified the framework res file with the uotkitchen.
It was only the scrollbar which i made red but now its gone.is there any chance to have my uot mod enabled plus the crt effekt???
Thanks for your app anyway much easier to install the effect then over wm.

Any mods for NFC while screen off?

I've seen on the gs3 forums so hacks to use NFC while the screen is off. Anybody know if we can get this going on the note 2?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I found the thread for the Nexus, but cannot get confirmation that it would work with the GN2... This would be very helpful!
I tried the one that is floating around and it breaks NFC entirely. Had to restore the Nfc.apk that I saved.
I used the Xposed Framework mod to enable this and it works great. You can read about the Xposed framework mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067292. I got the NFC mod (as well as in call recording) from here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/
I can also confirm that the DPI mods that are enabled by this work as well.
Hope this helps.

I already had Xposed installed. So I downloaded the module, installed it and activated it via Xposed and then rebooted. Nothing...
I have other modules that are working properly, so I know its not the XPosed application.
Any suggestions? Did you have to do anything additional?
After activating it in Xposed, I then had to open NFC LockScreen in the Apps drawer and select "screen is off". Closed, rebooted and then it worked for me.
*Edit:
I tested on my wife's phone and it doesnt work on hers. Im running cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 rom and my wife is running teshxx stock T889UVALK8 so it does appear to be somewhat rom dependent.
Im running the same ROM as your wife... Oh well...

Just for the hell of it I did a back up and wipe and installed the cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 ROM and I followed your instructions and it still did not work.
I am willing to pay a bounty to someone who can get this working. I am running the teshxx stock VALK8 ROM and simply want to be able to use the NFC feature while screen off and locked.

[FRAMEWORK][MOD] rovo89's xPosed Framework - ROM modding without modyfing APKs!

Hi guys! Let me introduce to you this awesome MOD:
Let's start underlining again (as clearly stated in topic title) that this is not my work - the developer of the xPosed framework is rovo89 so why don't you leave him a "thanks"? :laugh:
So, as making a duplicate would be useless I am not copying-pastying the original thread you can find HERE
By the way, I got the permission from rovo89 himself to mantain a S3 Mini dedicated thread for his MOD
PLEASE NOTICE - do not spam the official thread with bugreports, do it here instead. If you don't understand a step, you want more clarifications on how this framework is working, or a mod isn't working for you and so on, just leave a post here and I'll help you to get through your problems/curiosities
That said...
The xPosed framework itself only has the potential to mod your ROM. It doesn't include any extra feature, that you will get by installing additional modules, but we will talk about that later.
Features:
No need to modify system apks (so no unpacking,decompiling,recompiling,ect... very n00b friendly!)
Universal - it works on multiple devices and ROMs as it relies on proprietary framework
Changes are fully revertable by simply uninstalling the framework, so no need to reflash your ROM
Open source!
Instructions:
First of all you need to setup your framewok:
- Download the Xposed installer.from the original thread
- Install it on your phone
- Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
- Reboot and you're done!
As I said before installing the framework only won't make any magic. To start modding your system you have to download some additional modules you can find here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ (a google search may reveal more modules repositories though )
The modules are in apk format, if you want to install them do this way:
- Download <module>.apk and install it
- Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab
- Enable the module by checking the checkbox
- Reboot (sometimes soft reboot is enough) and you're done! :good:
Now lets talk about these modules. I have tried most of them before posting here to provide some useful hands-on feedback and here's what I suggest to install (100% working mods) on our S3 mini:
Dithered Holo Background
Email Text Colour
No increasing ringtone
Samsung Keyboard short delay
Xposed delivery notify toast
Xposed tweakbox (you'll find it on GSII forums - HERE )
Description of the mods: -more info on the repository page-
- Dithered Holo Background:
This mod fixes a minor annoyance in ICS/Jelly Bean that shows a slight color banding over Holo backgrounds.
- Email Text Colour:
Use this if you're using stock Samsung Email client - NOT THE ONE IN MY DMOD THAT'S INVERTED. As many of you could have noticed, stock email app isn't that readable. Why? Black backgrounds+greyish text. If you are not using my inverted email mod this could come in handy because changes the text colour from grey to a more white one
- No increasing ringtone:
Easy, this disables the default increasing ringtone and will play your ringtone at the same volume from the beginning to the end
- Samsung keyboard short delay:
If you, like me, don't like to use a third party keyboard this could be quite useful. If you've ever wondered about the possibility of reducing the long-press delay this is the answer, by reducing time from 500ms (that's just ridicolous) to 200ms.
- Xposed delivery notification toast:
If you're using delivery notifications (i find them veeery useful) you'll find this mod great. Samsung has a strange way of handling delivery reports, as a notification appears in the status bar and the SMS ringtone will be played. So it's not that different from a normal SMS... this will transform the notification into a little toast (just like superuser ones) and no sound will annoy you anymore
-Xposed tweakbox
A nice xposed module (with own GUI, like a standalone app), with a nice collection of graphical mods:
Statusbar mods - they work just fine!
CRT effect - does NOT work as it relies on a modded
Battery mods - working
Phone mods - working, call recording NOT tested
Miscellaneous - they work - SKIP TRACKS WITH VOLUME BUTTON INCLUDED!
So at the end of the day these are the major mods you can get with xposed, even on a stock ROM (if rooted):
- No SMS to MMS conversion
- No increasing ringtone
- Change default smilies
- Enable call recording (not tested yet)
- Launcher modifications
- Real SMS timestamps
- Per-app DPI and UI settings
and some other nice (but minor) mods/fixes
You can find credits in the original thread!

Update Xposed from v71 to v72 for Verizon LG G4
Verizon LG G4 VS986 confirmed working with xposed-v72-sdk22-arm64.zip upgrade(Ram is better,battery drain is less)
1)Wipe cache on start
2)Start os
3)If Flashfire doesn't open,change date in the phone settings to earlier than 8.30.15
4)Follow instructions for v71 installation,but instead of v71.zip use uninstaller for xposed (xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64).Do not uninstall previous version of Xposed which was installed from xposed-v71-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150816 with regular phone means.
5)do not check auto-mount,touch upper right sign and the main page of Flashfire opens
6)Flash (at the very bottom of the screen) uninstaller (all necessary files should be placed on the root of Internal Storage) and wait 10 minutes +,Loading lines appear then another 10 minutes,the phone reboots itself.
7)repeat procedure with Flashfire with zip file xposed-v72-sdk22-arm64
8)Long story now,approximately half an hour of dark screen(do not touch the phone and patiently wait)
9)phone reboots itself,wait and don't worry it'll work with updated Xposed Framework v72,all modules,that have been there before the upgrade,will be there working and activated,no need to reset Xposed Installer_3.0_alpha4.apk
P.S. Make sure the phone has enough charge and not connected to the computer and I assume that you alredy installed this: xposed-v71-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150816.If not,then follow all the instructions from Romracer for v71 file,but
1)use v72 instead
2)Flashfire will not work unless you change the date in the phone settings(you'll correct this easily later)
3)And you will have to wait longer this time(remember,approximately half an hour of dark screen with the impression that the phone is dead,but no worry,just wait and do nothing,cause that's the way it's resetting).Good luck!
It is now at V73. Just flashed on top of the current version and works fine.

Conflicting xposed mods thread

So, purpose for this thread is to notify the users which mods are conflicting and causing problems for HTC 10. I hereby will share my scenario and others please also share what u guys observe.
I am using ICE stable 1.1.3 Rom, s-off, xposed framework version 85.
So the problems I faced with conflicting mods are:
1. Sudden reboots.
2. After rebooting, no ringtone during calls.
Working mods are:
1. Android N-ify v0.2.0
2. Gravitybox v6.1.3
3. Greenify (donation) v2.8.1
4. Native clipboard v4.6.4
5. OGxposed v1.0
6. Play store changelog v1.2.2
7. Xinstaller v5.0
8. Xnotifications
9. Direct APK install
10. Youtube adblock
11. Youtube background playback
Conflicting mods for me:
1. Sense toolbox v2.2.4
2. Amplify v3.3.4
P.S. these mods were conflicting for me probably because I was using Gravitybox which I didn't want to remove. With any other combination or using them single, u may not face any problem. So if u guys find any variation in behavior or whatever may be, please post and I will update my list accordingly. Thanks.

Sense Toolbox is probably conflicting with Gravitybox because they both make changes in the system. I am using Sense Toolbox for the Center Clock, to add Blinkfeed shortcut so I can run Nova Prime as my main launcher then tap that to switch to Sense. I am also running N-ify, Greenify, XNotifications, and Amplify. Oh, also APK direct install (so I don't have to toggle it in Settings/security) as well as YouTube ad block and YouTube Background Playback...no issues here at all. Everything is set up systemless. There was one module that made Sense Toolbox lose center clock so I disabled it...but I can't remember which it was. I know that it wasn't Gravitybox though...I hadn't gotten around to trying that one yet. My guess is that Gravitybox is messing with Sense Toolbox and Amplify for you but that's a guess

Yes that's right. But I thought gravitybox was a must for everyone as it's kinda all-in-one mod. But here u r just doing fine without it. I will update my thread accordingly. Thanks for yr input.

No problem....however, if Gravitybox has things like center clock, you can use other modules to block notifications and icons in the status bar. Sometimes if I add one thing too many, it goes back to default so it's more of a "mostly works" I wasn't able to use Gravitybox on my M9 (as far as I know) but yeah, it's best to experiment and get other people to comment like you are. Pretty soon I will be on ViperROM though...that's the sickest custom ROM I have ever used. You can leave it Sense based or "De-Sense" it and the amount of customization it has is unmatched. I have used it on 5 different HTC models and it's incredible!
For those who are going to stay stock rooted with Xposed, you have lots to choose from and my battery has been incredible so no bad side effects from using it

[Magisk] Debloat Script for Xperia XZ Premium

Hello,
I've created a Debloat Script to systemlessly Debloat the Xperia XZ Premium via Magisk.
Tested on following Devices/Firmwares:
Xperia XZ Premium (G8141): 47.2.A.8.24, 47.2.A.10.28, 47.2.A.10.45 (Pie)
Xperia XA2
If you try on other devices give feedback. It might work on most actual Sony phones.
Attention!
The module removes Sony Home Launcher and Swiftkey Keyboard, so be sure to have another launcher and keyboard installed before you enable the module. (You can download Swiftkey regular from Playstore again)
I recommend Xperia keyboard from here.
Version Infos:
Debloat_vX.X Regular Version
Debloat_vX.XYT Doesn't remove YouTube (due to conflicts when using Debloat + YT-Vanced Magisk Module -> vanced won't show up)
If you find Bloat-apps not included in this Script just tell me and I'll add them.
Also if you succesfully use the Script on other devices/firmwares give Feedback.
Enjoy your clean XZP
Thanks to @Pointless816 for providing a huge list of Bloatware apps in his adb script (here).
Changelog:

Hello,
I've created a Debloat Script to systemlessly Debloat the Xperia XZ Premium via Magisk.
Tested on following Devices/Firmwares:
Xperia XZ Premium (G8141): 47.2.A.8.24, 47.2.A.10.28, 47.2.A.10.45 (Pie)
If you try on other devices give feedback. It might work on most actual Sony phones.
Attention!
The module removes Sony Home Launcher and Swiftkey Keyboard, so be sure to have another launcher and keyboard installed before you enable the module. (You can download Swiftkey regular from Playstore again)
I recommend Xperia keyboard from here.
Version Infos:
Debloat_vX.X Regular Version
Debloat_vX.XYT Doesn't remove YouTube (due to conflicts when using Debloat + YT-Vanced Magisk Module -> vanced won't show up)
If you find Bloat-apps not included in this Script just tell me and I'll add them.
Also if you succesfully use the Script on other devices/firmwares give Feedback.
Enjoy your clean XZP
Thanks to @Pointless816 for providing a huge list of Bloatware apps in his adb script (here).
Changelog:
v1.2 Fixed Property in Magisk
v1.1 Fixed apps not included in @Pointless816 Script
v1.0 Initial Release

Can you add the contrast reducer aka qualcomm assertive display feature to the list? Im entirely not sure which apk is responsible for this feature, but I'm pretty sure it's an apk and not a system file. I recently saw a display booster apk uploaded on apkmirror, some old version of it is present in the xzp.
P.S. - It's the feature responsible for turning the contrast down so low and makes everything look very light with low saturation when outdoors .

No problem mate, glad to help.
Well I've been trying to debloat my Sonys for a while now using Magisk and Titanium Backup and also another Magisk debloat mod using Termux and neither method worked. At best they would disable apps but not remove and moreover cause boot loop on restart. This mod works!!! I was sceptical at first and thought it would just remove the apps from the primary user but I added a second account to my phone and the apps were gone there too. Also I used this on my XA2 along with my XZ Premium and works for both. The only apps it didn't remove from the XA2 was Amazon Kindle and FM Radio. But I am ecstatic. Thanks alagga!

"Upon further review..." The mod doesn't actually remove the apps it merely hides them, which is OK, but I was able to still see the "deleted" apps with recovery and going into system. I then deleted them there and the few the mod doesn't touch. When it comes right down to it, it's merely a matter of aesthetics as the apps don't take up a lot of space to begin with. I just like complete control over what's on my phone.
It's still a good mod and a fast and easy way to disable and hide those unwanted apps.

This module is especially designed to do it like this. If you use this systemless removing (hiding) of the apps, system stays unmodified and so you're still able to get official OTA's

Use apk analyzer from playstore (or search for the paths manually via a filebrowser) and pass me over the paths of the apps then I'll add them to the script
(should be located either in /system/app/XXX or /system/priv-app/XXX)
