[HOW TO] CRT-Effect only

This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself

DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root

1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)

2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)

3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too :P)

4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".

These are the actual values that are right:

Code:

true     to enable
false    to disable

5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)

Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one

You must reboot to make it work!

*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.

If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine
