Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] [ROM] [F3] Xperion ROM *Updated 2/13/2015*

If your looking to change the shutdown animation back to stock, make a copy of this rom and switch out the shutdown animation with the one in the stock rom and then reflash this rom with the replaced animation overtop of your current install. No need to wipe anything. Just make sure you make a backup first just incase you twerk something.
Not the shutdown animation, the screen off animation. Its currently CRT, but that doesn't work so it goes black with lag. I was trying to find a way to make the screen off animation back to stock fade.

No need to reflash an entire rom just to change the shutdown animation. Simply flash the shutdown animation or swap it with a root file explorer.

As for the CRT animation, you guys will have to wait till a get some time to post a flashable remover.
Thank you so much, the CRT thing was really annoying me since it wasn't working and I just wanted to go back to stock fade animation. As for the shutdown animation, that was just a misread mistake, pretend like that never happened ;).

Oh wow, its deodexed now? Well that allows for cool theming now. Thank you GameTheory, you are always the best here.

You can theme the hell out of a rom without it being deodexed. Deodexing is only useful if your gonna edit smali code. I only did it so I wouldn't have to hear about it anymore.

Oh I understand. The only problem about deodexing for this phone that I have discovered from testing my custom rom is that it takes so long to boot at first that its hard to see if its a bootloop or just taking a long time. After that it should be fine, its only a problem when testing a rom.

Reason why first boot after a fresh flash takes long is because now the odex files are packed into the apks(deodexed) as classes.dex and android now needs to decode the dex from each apk. That goes for any phone only on the first boot of a fresh flash or factory reset. That's why I do all my testing before deodexing to save some time.

Yep, I've themed all kinds of things without deodexing. I don't mess with smali though, I need to get deeper into the code before I'll be comfortable with that.

Hopefully it works better than the version I tried. I hit a fatal error trying to install three times. That was with TWRP. I finally reinstalled your CWM recovery, and in spite of getting an error 7, I managed to fix permissions and boot up. The good news is I have no problems with root. The bad news is most people would not have gotten through the install with all the errors my phone threw at me. Did you have any install trouble, Aqua?
