Root getting multitasking for sense 5 help

[EarlyMon]

Your SystemUI.apk in the sdk tools folder is misnamed.

Change it in File Explorer.

Sorry, I'm back to my phone, output was harder to read.

 

[EarlyMon]

^That's the whole problem.

I add .bak at the end.

 

[Rush]

Early, how about we do this tomorrow..? ""

 

[EarlyMon]

I add .bak at the end.

No, don't add bak.

Change it from SystemUI (1).apk to SystemUI.apk

And tomorrow is fine.

 

[Rush]

Okay ...

I'll go and change things back to what you posted above. So, the only one needs renaming is the .apk on my PC inside the sdk-tools folder, right? Or there should be another sdk-tools folder on my sd-card

I can change that by just renaming it — I don't need a file manager for that. And just for clarification ... I do have two SystemUI.apk's . One inside the sdk-tools folder --- and one installed on my phone's internal partition.

Here I am messing around my phone when I should be getting ready for my party. Lmao!

 

[EarlyMon]

The one on your internal partition doesn't matter.

Just rename it in the pc sdk tools folder.

Don't try to make an sdk tools folder on your phone.

Once it's renamed on your pc, use the last two instructions posts above. One for going into TWRP and the one above that

When you get two listing, one for SystemUI.apk and one for SystemUI.apk.bak, and you see rw-r--r-- for each one when you say -

adb shell ls -l /system/app/SystemUI*

Then you'll be good to go.

 

[Rush]

I will create a new command window to do this ...

If successful -- I should then have the Sense 5 (jellybean) multitasking, and not that (ugly ) ice cream sandwich one I currently have..?

I'm sure after awhile all this will be something to look back on and smile __ EarlyMon, I truly appreciate your time and help.. []

Thank-you!

 

[EarlyMon]

Thought I'd help with the short version of where we left off.

Today -

TWRP main window.

Mount button.

Check System.

Back button.

^Make sure that has been done.

OK, it didn't copy over.

Confirm that SystemUI.apk is in your sdk tools folder.

dir SystemUI*

Edit - you should see SystemUI.apk there, no changes to that name.

If it is, then do -

adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk

adb shell ls -l /system/app/SystemUI*

You should see two files there -

• SystemUI.apk
• SystemUI.apk.bak
• Both should see rw-r--r-- in the line listings for each one

 

[Rush]

Just about to start the process ...

Okay, I'll let you know if everything is as how it should be.

Success!

I "adb reboot" the device ... Sense 5 (jellybean) multitasking is now here, and that drop down settings (notification) is no more (never liked that type anyways).

Now i need to know how to change the boot image (if that's what it's called) to the default HTC ONE.

Any ideas ... I feel like A DEVELOPER NOW thanks to EM. Hahaha.

 

[Rush]

Anybody?

Now i need to know how to change the boot up image on Captain_Throwback ROM (if that's what it's called) to the default HTC ONE.

 

[EarlyMon]

Anybody?

I did that once and needed help lol.

We have some threads here.

At launch we had a great tutorial on it.

Maybe look at the oldest threads here for that (probably be on the last or second to last pages of thread listing) and resurrect one of those.

 

[EarlyMon]

PS - despite being on a dev team once, I can't remember the standard HTC location that gives the rom boot screen.

Probably zip files in /system/customize/resource or something.

Yup.

I swapped the bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip recently to the one from the old port.

If you're ever in question as to where it goes, the location is somewhere near the bottom of the file /system/customize/CID/default.xml.

I might go mess with something... then be back here asking for help caused my phone is now permanently Bork.. lol.

Cap, Is there an easy or easier way to do this ...that even I cannot mess up? Don't get me wrong, i kinda like how the ROM boot up, just that i really love to see the HTC ONE logo when booting.

By the way, did i ever tell you that i love that you brought this ROM to our attention here on Android Forums?.

Edit: I found the /system/customize/CID/default.xml --- Now how do i change or replace what needs to be done? I have both Sense 5 ROMs installed.

The files you need to replace are in /system/customize/resource and are bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip (if you want to change that too).

Changing the boot animation won't have the same kind of negative consequences as did SystemUI.apk, so you can easily do that with a root file explorer or via adb. I'm not really good at giving the broken down, step-by-step instructions, so I'll leave that to someone else. It's really simple, though - replace the existing files, set the same permissions, reboot and you should have your new boot animation.

I hear you on that, buddy.



I might just only use the bootanimation.zip -- don't really see the need for downanimation.zip.

Edit: I believe I got this now ... I need to do this on my PC. The file seems to be takin a long time to delete.


Two questions: ... Do I need to set the same permission (never did this before) via my phone (TWRP)?

(2) I assume this procedure has to be done on a ROM I have installed? ... it cannot be done on a nandroid backup, or the current Rom using ...right?

Dk

 

[EarlyMon]

You can do it to your current ROM.

As a rule of thumb, don't tinker with your nandroid backups.

Edit - ignore from here on down.

Find a stock One rom from the HTC One root community.

Download it to your PC.

Unzip it - 7zip is good for a PC.

Get the bootanimation.zip and put it in your sdk tools folder.

Make a nandroid of your existing rom.

Since you're in TWRP at that point, go ahead from the main page, Mount button, check system.

adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

adb shell chmod 644 /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot

If it fails, restores your nandroid.

 

[CapThrowback]

If you use a stock One bootanimation, it'll be too big. Thus the reason I took the resized one from the old port.

:banghead:

Yeah.

It's always something.

I need to stop phoning in advice and start thinking before I post.

Hey, you've always been extremely helpful, and that's all anyone can ask.

Here's the boot animation zip I was referring to: https://code.google.com/p/evo-4g-lt...k/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

As Cap said, you've always been helpful ... In fact, you've personally helped me out an a few occasions. Don't stop doing what you do best.

Here's the boot animation zip I was referring to: https://code.google.com/p/evo-4g-lt...k/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

So - Is this the one you've used in your ROM, or the one that I should use to get the stock HTC One boot animation?

Not being a developer, or even an highly tech savvy person when it comes to rooting development, can make understanding words spoken from developers a little complicated to understand at times.

Nonetheless, I won't stop until I get this right.

That's the one you want.
