Many of you noticed that that CRT-esque screen-off animation from the Nexus S and stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3) was missing from the leaked builds on the DROID X and 2 and wondered how to get it. It’s now available below, although you’ll need to run a few adb commands to get it.

Instructions:

*Note* – This will likely not work on anything but Gingerbread. I would not try to flash this on a 2.2 ROM. *Note 2* – I have not tested this on a DROID2, just assumed it would work. Be careful D2 owners.

UPDATE : There is now a simple .zip file that can be flashed in Clockwork. [Download]

1. CREATE A BACKUP FIRST.

2. Download this file to your computer: framework-res_CRT_ENABLE.apk

3. Rename it to framework-res.apk and place in your SDK/Tools folder.

4. Connect your phone and run the following commands in adb:

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

5. Your phone will reboot and with CRT screen-off set to “Go!”
