Root getting multitasking for sense 5 help

Ok, so Rush, grab that one, place in your sdk tools folder, follow the steps in my post from this morning and you'll be golden. :)


PS - do NOT unzip it.
 
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.
I will try this method. The only difference would be in the ROM being used... I will use the bootanimation.zip from Yankee's Rom instead from the stock HTC One.

Who knows -- the worst could only be an usable phone. I am eligible for an upgrade since August (htc one). :)

I guess I was posting this at the same time you guys were posting. :)

I realized that the steps above (even though I changed bootanimation.zip to downanimation.zip) don't work the same way for both files. Oh, yeah, I did put the downanimation.zip inside my sdk tools folder.

I was trying to change the downanimation by using the same method ... but after finishing the process, I realized that booting down the phone only shows a dark screen.

The phone still function okay, so i did a nandroid and start the process all over again. :)

I already done the bootanimation... which i would called a success. Now to get the downanimation done as well.

Posted by, EarlyMon ... do -

adb shell mv /system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip

Copy and paste, that all goes on one line.

No guarantees but that's probably it.
Doing this right now!

Thanks to EarlyMon, again. Somebody should give this guy an award or something. :)
 
Okay, what's happening: I don't want to use the downanimation.zip i had before ... I am getting a corrupt file error on this download ... so i discard it.

Can someone post a downanimation.zip from a HTC One phone, or something similar to what Cap Throwback posted above.

I would very much appreciate it. ;)
 
So I need to get it from an Evo 4G LTE running Sense 5 HTC Rom, right?



That told you I was going to do a boo-boo. Lol.

Yep. You can get it from Yankees, just have to be sure to use the right name here.

And also

adb shell chmod 644 /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip
 
I did everything as you described ...

Copy/Paste the above and also add adb shell chmod 644 /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip

Everything went well.

There it is. I'm done!

Thanks for your time. ;)
 
I have both Yankee and CapThrowback Sense5 Roms installed.

Now to see who has the better mods installed. :) I've made a few changes to the customization on both ROMs. But I don't think that should affect my comparison skills.
 
One thing I've noticed on both ROMs: 4G LTE seems to be not like it was ...meaning, I haven't been able to see 4G LTE popping up at all.

I checked around the area to see if there are any cell sites that are down, and results show that all surrounding cell sites are in tact. I also contacted Sprint and was told the same thing.

I will nandroid back to a previous stock sense backup just for clarification.
