Root {MOD} Gingerbread 2.3 Animations on Fascinate - (TV Turn Off)

I'm looking for the screen off/on or sleep/wake animation (looks like old tv turning off) that is new in gingerbread 2.3. Does anyone know if this exist as a mod or theme, or exists in a rom right now? I'm running Adryn's Superclean V7 DL30 right now, so preferably something that would run on it. *just realized I typed over the "WANTED" in the title, sorry if that confused anyone.*

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Adryn, you da man!


Heres a video of what I'm talking about:

It must have come on the superdark because I've added nothing else except the R2D2 boot up screen. Let me also correct that it only happens when I power down my phonw not when it sleeps.

Well that video proved that it was sleep and not power down. It takes a long time to power down if you want to do it just by keeping the power button pressed.

Must be part of a rom.

1. Find the DJ05 Super Dark ROM on xda.
2. Unzip it and go into system/media/video/shutdown
3. Copy the files from that folder onto your sd card
4. In Root Explorer, move those files into system/media/video/shutdown on your phone (if you don't have a /video/shutdown folder set up, you can just create them. Confirmed working by me)
5. This will give you the TV off effect on shutdown!

As said above, I don't think we can make it work (yet!) for just turning the screen off, but it does create a cool effect for a shutdown animation.

Thanks for the directions. Worked perfect!

How can I create the video folder? Says its read only. Looking at the folder privileges, it looks like it should have write access as well. Any ideas?

Use root explorer. There should be a spot towards upper left of screen that allows you to toggle between read only and read/write. Toggle it to read/write and then you can delete or add stuff
