Advanced Power Menu For Galaxy S II With CRT And Overscroll Glow
Let’s face it, the CRT and overscroll glow animations are two of the sweetest UI elements the Android OS offers. If you’ve just moved onto a Galaxy S II from an Android device that offered you the overscroll glow and CRT animation, chances are that you miss the two badly. And why shouldn’t you, these effects are wicked! XDA-Developers forum member bmarko82 has released just that, but offers more then just those fancy effects. An advanced power menu is in now available giving you the options to boot into the recovery or download mode, making life for the frequent modder in you a lot easier. Stock ROMs or even a handful of custom ROMs for the Galaxy S II do not offer the ability to reboot into recovery or download mode.
Before we move further with this, please note that the mods are only meant for KE7 and KF1 based ROMs. The mod come’s in four different styles for the KE7 firmware (Download the one of your choice):
