HTC One, idle animations ON/OFF

[Jonathan Dale]

Hello,

I'm curious and new to Android. My friend has the Motorola Droid Razr and when idling his screen on and off the animation is quite cool. It sort of resembles an old TV's on and off experience. Is there a way to mod the HTC one so that it could do this as well?

Thanks!

It would require rooting your phone. It is possible.

This sounds like it has the potential to be involved? Is rooting similar to unlocking an iPhone?

My Moto Photon (MoPho) does that as well. It's a moto thing baked into the rom.

Yes. Similar. We call it unlocking the bootloader. You can do this on HTC's website.
