download the versions below. Make sure your internal space isn't full. Install the apk first but don't open it. Go into Twp install the sdk that's it.

Hi, back again. Everything is going well. If anyone has changed the awful cricket boot animation and sound could you please tell me how you did it? Can I just use the ones in rom toolbox in write mode?

the sound can be deleted I thing it should be in the system folder I think. I don't know about the animation and i havent tried to change it. let me know if you are able to change it with rom toolbox.

I think I can leave the sound by changing the extension while using a different sound with the correct extension in case I need it in the future for whatever reason. If you don't hear from me in a few days it didn't work lol.

Yeah it should be in system/media/audio and it's a cricket. ogg file. Just change ogg to bak and on reboot you should have silence.

always do a full back up before changing something. It has saved my phone a a lot of times.

using es file explorer with root explorer turned on. When I go to system/media/audio there are four folders, alarms, notifications,ringtones,ui. I looked in all there's no cricket.ogg file. When I go to system/media there's the audio folder then a bootanimation.zip a bootsound.mp3 and a shutdown animation.zip. so I'm guessing I use the bootsound.mp3 right? Can I also change the shutdown animation?
 
Yeah, I would change animations through ROM toolbox, they have a ton of cool ones. As far as the bootsound file, I think that is it. Been a while since I did it. Try changing the extension, let me know if it works
 
Do we actually need this new twrp? How is it better than the twrp we already have? I sure hope we can get marshmallow. I'm so jealous of the grandmax lol.

Um back again. I tried the switcher app it went to twrp. I went into file manager and deleted the folder,then I went to apps,clicked on broken switcher to delete the data but there wasn't any data. The count was 0 with no option to delete. There was stuff in the cache though so I deleted that but I got the same results. I tried it three times no luck.

I replied to your post in the other thread. You need to have busybox installed to /system/xbin and you can't be switched out when you pull the images. My answer on the other thread is a little more detailed so you might want to check that out. Also, I posted a link to a twrp flashable busybox zip that you can use to install busybox if you aren't switched. It is in the other thread as well if you go back a few posts from where your post is at.
 
Don't be. I don't think we have Marshmellow yet. ZMAX is lucky though. Hopefully Grand X has the same custom ROM built like for example, The Youtube video Chief87 posted. But that may take a while.

We have a new Switcher app for the zte zmax that you guys running lollipop rooted can use. Here is a link to the thread. http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7268089

We also have twrp 3.0.1-0 now that you guys can probably use since you've been using twrp made for the zmax for a while now. Here is a link to the thread for that. http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7268558

Here is a video I did explaining how to use the Broken Switcher app.

hello masterchief87 do you know any custom ROM that work with this phone?

would installing a third party Camera work install of the system camera app. Or there's no way around that.

No the z970 and z987 have different camera hardware(8mp&2mp vs 13mp&5mp) so they require different camera libs and a different kernel so no camera app will work unless the ROM is compiled specially for the z987.
 
I know everyone's tired of hearing this .. But is there going to be a root for grand x max plus z987 anytime in the foreseeable future? Thanks in advance.
