i wanted to download from this thread the gallery&camera. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966288&highlight=photosphere
but it would abort in the recovery every time.
so in the last page there, someone wrote-
"You need to unpack zip and install manualy, its not CWM flashable. Only full package is CWM flashable."
so i've already extracted it.
where to move these files in the phone?
i have 2 folders in the package-"app" and "lib".
thanks.
Are you on lsj leak?

I've searched here and dev forum, didnt find anything....
I want to cook(make) my own apps-stock.zip file with the stock apps from my cell.
I've tried AndroidSigner but it crashed my ROM(stuck on boot).
Anyone know where can i found a guide or how-to ???
Thankz
Hi i just made this right now from a flashable gapps zip. I havent tried but it will work.
Open the zip attached with winrar or 7zip open folder [ system ] than [ app ]. (Do not extract the content). Drop all the apk which are to be flashed there and done. Flash it. Let me know if it works. Its amend script so you might have to flash it with amonra.
In META-INF folder/com/google/android there updater-script that you might wanna look at.
Its worked, but i've to disable the zip signature.
If i just get the apks from my original stock rom (copy from nand img bkp) and put there, it will work??
Any apk will work.

Hi all devs and xda people, since i cannot post on the dev forum i have to ask here...
[Q]: How Do i Install the New CWM without having xrecovery installed?
I just cleaned my phone by flashing it with SEUS, wich i normally do before i'm about to install a new rom, i just rooted my phone and installed the newest version of Root Explorer from market. Also have downloaded the CWM zip provided from the first post by D4rKn3sSyS at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146
However, that zip contains two folders, not any single files that you just copied over to /system/bin like you did with xrecovery. so what am i suppsoed to do? wich files, where and what permission should they have?
CWM can be installed only manually using Root Explorer.
Extract files from bin folder in the zip and copy to respective folder with correct permissions (755).
It is missing one file (bin/charge) that can be found on xrecovery.zip file.
Another way is to install xRecovery Mini Pro .apk Unified Installer and after that use cwr_xrecinstall!

Could you tell me exactly what file that is missing? the xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1beta contains three files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
I could assume that its the busyboxfile that is missing, but i really dont want to chance and take a risk.

I have downloaded the update from the link below, and am confused.
it is a zip, with a 7zip in it, with a TAR in it. shouldn't the update just be the update.zip with the .img and .bin in the zip? Or is it really 3 layers of packages?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444714&highlight=el01
here is the link to the update.zip http://goo.gl/6XtFD
Thanks

It should be named "update.zip" so you can flash it properly.
Use 7zip to rename it to update.zip
If you do decide to rename it from windows, most of the time it will have .zip at the end already, but won't show it. So if you add .zip manually, it will turn out update.zip.zip

Questions go in the Q&A section
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol
How can I root the rom??

Where do we get a META-INF folder?
Do we use CWM recovery to restore with the new folder?

You can get a META-INF folder by creating one yourself

Make one yourself,refer other stock roms for the path,then get the update binaries and script from BlackHawk (if stock ONLY).

For CWM flash,take updater script and binary from Blackhawk and put it in your rom

Hello, can anyone extract this widget and send it to me by email? I removed it accidentally but I don't wanna re flash whole system and loose all my settings because of that. I suppose it should be apk and odex files. They can be found in one system directory. Please pm me for email. Thanks

Why don't you open the flashable zip of your rom? Then you can extract it yourself
How to do that? What ROM?

Download a 2.3.6 rom flashable zip file. Open it and go to system/app extract the file and copy it to your phone. Install it and your done.
If you want to install a system app then you need to be rooted. So i thought you already had a flashable zip file.
I got my firmware downloaded only. It is md5.tar file. Is this what you are talking about or should I download something else?

I didn't install anything, just copied apk file from SD card into system/app directory. Odex file can't be replaced. No matter what error, just tell me if I have to run 7ZIP program, pack both files and then flash via CWM?

You flashed a zip file?
Is the apk file still in system/app? If not just place it there and wipe the caches. Without flashing a file.
BTW I don't know exactly how I make a good flashable zip file. Search and it shouldn't be hard to find and make.

The thing is it is not possible to just copy system files into proper directory because it returns error that it can't be replaced.

I'm not allowed to delete system files as they are in use and any operation is restricted, even while rooted!
Whatever, I flashed my firmware from scratch and f**k it still won't work because I run Go Launcher Ex which is not compatible with stock widget.
