Hi devs,
As you guys should know, I have a gt-i5503 stock 2.1 upgraded to 2.2 ( it now shows gt-i5500l).
As i dont have wifi (thats a real bummer ) at home, i download the apk files and install them. Recently , i downloaded the .apk's for asphalt6, nanopandas, jenga & battlehearts ( im a hell of a gamer lol ).
but when i tried to install the files, it shows the instalation bar ( green backslashes like this //////) and after a while it reboots (shows the flashing samsung screen).
I also tried to use the apk installer from my comp but it says 'please make u have enough disk space' while i have some 51 mb in my phone storage n 200 mb in my sdcard.
please help me out.
many thanx.

Thats what i do as default. When it didnt work, i tried doing it via my comp.I also noticed that only these apks are problamatic. all others are installing without any problems. the others are of the same size. HELP!!!! :-(

where did you get the files from? they may not work properly.
Take a look at this site, galaxy-5.blogspot.com, there is a ton of games to download there. try one of those and see if it is something wrong with your phone, or the .apk you are downloading

surely this makes it a moot question. but the answer is yes but you would have to flash it from your sd card with xrecovery.
edit: heres mine with the apps removed, open in 7zip and drag your apks into the apps folder.

I think he was asking how to make it himself. Like how to properly make the things in that META-INF folder. I've searched too and come up with nothing. It'd be nice to be able to make a custom zip and flash back my arc phone apps, I flashed the honeycomb theme from that guy who's not go3asy, and I only hate its dialer/phonebook/calllog/favorites.
maybe you can try the HTC kitchen,which requiers your computer has a JAVA environment.

FolioComb_3.0.1_v0.3a TIPS, PATCHES, BUGS and TRICKS

First of all, I want to thanks Dexter for his work. I made this threade for some help for FolioComb bugs reporting and patches updates.
This rom is awsome!
HONEYCOMB_3.0.1_v0.3a
BUGS and SOLUTIONS:
1. Lots of apps crashes(to fix enter in fastboot "fastboot-w" pr move apps from sd to tablet)
2. Android Market and YouTube apps don't work very well. Market don't have paid and all free apps even after enabling with Market Enabler and YouTube say "video unable to play"
3. When I try to install app from sdcard, app installer shows, but can't press install button(strange bug, only solution is factory reset)
Go here and go to end of page and you'll see list of app that you can and can't unistall(this is for CyanogenMod, but it's smilar to FolioComb and it android too)
4. Camera crashes and if try with another camera app, I get black screen and camera don't activate(blue light near camera)
5. Home button don't work
6. Little laggy(install OC kernel)
7. SOD(with OC kernel)
I'll update list with bugs, solutions and patches.
that's nice of you to create such a thread!
I have all those issues that others have reported so decided to move back to FolioMod... this apps FC issue really is a nasty one, so hopefully your patch can help a lot of ppl here
You don't understand me. I don't make patch, I only put Dexter patches on one place, because it's easier to find them all on one place.

thx
you are talking about the honeycomb for folio right?
but i'm still using v1.4 haha````
after reading your thread i'm think about to try the honeycomb
two problem with solution for FC's
Jon2555 said:
I found solution for FC's(I'm not expert and if you don't think this is true, say):
1. After downloading or restoring and installing apps and they don't work(like CPU Master or Angry Birds), install Root Explorer(If someone need it say me)
2. Open it and go to /data/app and find app that don't work and you want to work
3. Long-press and press "extract all"
4. After extracting press "Go to extracte directory"
5. Open app directory and go to lib
6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it
7. Exit Root Explorer(reboot if you want or if app don't work), open app and enjoy!
This isn't work for all apps but it shoud(for me works)

I solve ... it's easy :
- some app is into \sdcard\ and we can reserch ( es search : com.rovio and found angry birds.apk )
- if folder is only read in top on root explorer we can change permission ( button r/o)
Any root explorer free clone
I can't move my files and I can't find any file manager that let me do su operations...How come, the android store just look like the app store ! (yeah kinda troll)
More over my birds were free on foliomod and i need to pay now there is only the beta release which is free...looks wierd !
Anyway, I'm still happy cause it is quite smooth after all except for those fc apps...
I've installed application explorer which tells me that angry birds data are in /data/data/ isn't it strange...there's nothing in it...well the gamme fc so maybe it is normal !
angry birds is installed in /mnt/asec, if i managed to move the directory where should i put it ? in /sdcard or /sdcard2 or /sdcard/sdcard-disk0 ?
what is that mess (just like my post ?
search and install applanet by internet then download root explorer. i use this way for try..
I said if need Root Explorer ask me and I'll upload apk via PM

6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it

I found /system/lib directory has no more space to past anymore libs.
So how to extend it??(for now, it only has about 250Mb space)
I said before that system directory don't have enough space and I don't know how to extend it.

Yes, usb work. He is mounted in
mnt/usb/docking_usb
I posted bug in development threade and Dexter said that he will update HC tomorrow. Modem was working, but not for all countries.
If you want to change sd card mount point, you have to change vold.fstab in /system/etc.

? help making an update.zip

I have a theme that I would like to share with HTC amaze community but every zip format & signed it say installation aborted. On my own phone any help would be appreciated. Theme includes systemui, frameworkres, & fusion. I tried the zipsigned apk from the market but no luck. How can I make an themed signed zip ?
Inbox me the folders that you want the zip to install to and I'll send you a zip file with the folders and scrips and instructions to add your files to it.
When it comes to a computer i'm more of a noob. All of my own themes i've done thru ninjamorph. No offence i'd need more info then that sorry man.

I'll give you a zip that's gonna install everything you have placed in the systems folder, that will includes things that go into the app/data/framework folders, etc, okay? To not lose the signature, you'll open the file with winrar and drop n' drop your sub-folders into their respective places, you can keep the script/empty zip for future use.
Update.zip: http://d-h.st/Pwo
It empty, put your files into the system/ folder.

Cant instal Google Play APK wtf?

NVM
CashmereEsquire said:
Hey guys I have a galaxy player 5.0 it has 1.7 gb free internal, but when I try to download the Google Play APK from it says not enough storage, while I installed the Astro APK off my sd card no problem. Any thoughts? Its rooted and I have a mac if that helps.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are you trying to get the play appstore on your device? As far as I know you have to flash gapps to get that.
I`m using CMW and it doesnt show any errors but the Market nor anyother gapps appear
Please can anyone help me
can you give us more info: ie what rom you are running?
Sorry I`m not sure the rom it is a Stock based rom here is whats in settings
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernal 2.3.35.7-g70xxkpf-cl562492
[email protected] #r14
build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKPL
CMW says zip is installed but nothing appears on device. And when I try to just install the android market APK thats saved on SD card it says I dont have enough space even though 1.83 gb are free.
Please I know this doesnt help much but I need help bad, I`m using a mac so I do not have a way to use ODIN, I dont even care about Rooting I just want this back to normal, it is for my younger brother and he gave it to me to sell for him, and after doing a factory reset I noticed his android market vanished.

Hi is there something that tells me what I am suppose to be doing? Do I use this to flash Gapps? I`m confused. And is this command line stuff or is there an actual front end where I can just click on stuff like ODIN? I`m really pressed for time so I cant ready through pages of stuff, and google searches arent helping at all.
Maybe you can install easily with this:http://android-market-apk.en.softonic.com/android. If you can't you have to paste the googleplay.apk into /system/app with a root file manager
---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------
Here you have the google play apk: http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219602. Now download a explorer, like the ES file explorer. Paste the apk into /system/app and push over the apk a little and change the permissions:
User: Write and Read
Group: Read
Other: Read
Finally: rw-r--r--
It have to be more or less in this way.
imposibru!
You can't do that! As simple as that, sorry to say. Fortunately this headache has solution simply by restorating the default system. I think you can do it with Kies.

2 things can be happening. Either after you exctract the zip file with Winrar and it contains an apk file which you can transfer to your phone and using a file explorer just run it.
Or you have to go into CMW clockwork mode recovery (if you have it) and select flash a zip file.

Just rename file's extension from .zip to .apk then. Depending on your OS configuration, you may have to edit 1 setting, if you can not change the extension. For that - Control Panel, Folder Options, View, untick Hide extensions for known file types.

guess it is not that memory problem, chrome&firefox renders on quality than speed, so most animations lag if more than 10-15 tabs(content also matters may be) are opened at once
anyway we were off the topic

no from my brain, bro ;D i dont talk same as somebody else said :/ i get behind myself im pretty sure its oom, bcuz if i usng stock browser he holds 2 sites loaded, now when open more sites , he only holds the current one. so if i switch to other site he (re)load data. on it. memory usage is some higher but okay. now when i use some browser that usaally tries to holds all the data my memory decreases very hard until to some mb left, on early legacy xperia buils my phone restarted more often if i used other browser hard. i faced this issues on nearly all new browser's... sometimes even my device stops responding so must take off battery i never faced this on stock browser but more site-reloads.
i had seen this behaviour on several roms like stock ics and cm's JB. ...
ahh YES OFFTOPIC! sry ur right bro but thanks for help
