When I downloaded the cognition rom v1.6 a message comes up that says widget locker at the top. Then gives 3 options to install, install and add or cancel and the message asks if i want to install the theme. Is widget locker geting in the way of the download some how? Also when I browse for the zip on sd card I can't find the name of the file even tho the download said it was complete.

download directly from smartphone sometimes will break (due to wifi / data / server connection intermittent ) especially if you download from direct download provider (multiupload,filesonic,hotfile,etc) not from direct server. please check back the md5 after you download and compare to the original file.
but it's advisable to download from pc and then transfer to your phone.
btw, if you finish download the rom, flash it using cwm .. do not open the zip file (in your case, i dont know why do u want to it ? )
also make sure the rom, for your bell i9100M is compatible or not with the normal i9100. because i found out the i9100G is not compatible.

I downloaded the nero v3 onto my mac. it didnt download as a .zip it downloaded as a folder. I compresed the file and copied it to my vibrant. I went into ROM manager and reboot to recovery. I tried to install nere_v3_voodoo.zip and my phone froze while installing. What did I do wrong?
I have a mac too, so I think I can help. Macs automatically unzip downloads, but you can keep it from doing that by right clicking the download link and selecting "download linked file." Then it stays zipped.
That should fix your issues. Re-compressing the folder with a mac adds some hidden files I think, which is probably why you ran into problems.

this kept happening to me on my macbook pro. Whenever I compressed it back into a zip, then transferred it to my phone, whenever I tried to flash it i would never get passed installing update, status bar never moved. The solution is easy, download the roms directly to your phone through the xda app or online. Whenever you re compress the package something gets messed up, and it stops at the beginning of the installation.

This isn't true - You don't have to download roms straight to your phone. If you follow the method I explained above (right click - select "download linked file"), the file stays zipped and will flash just fine.
Nothing gets messed up when you re-zip on a mac. The default compiler is simply is adding a "_MACOSX" folder to the zipped package, as well as hidden files pertinent to macs' file system management. If you need your mac to repackage, just use a 3rd party program and not the mac's default and it'll work fine. I use "Compress" when creating themes for my phone and have no problems.
Hey all i just wanted to ask is there any way 2 get the old text messaging program back instead of the one thats installed with this one i liked the stock Antrix one. And i know before u could say yes or no to install it but he changed the install methed and could not do that no more so if any one could help me please do so thanks <3

For those like me who need corporate sync and like the blur universal inbox you can install just that portion of the moto bloatware instead of all of it.
** EDIT ** I'm adding a couple more applications now. Please, others jump in to do other applications because I'm out of time working on my Atrix for this week!
** WARNING ** I'm not an android dev and this process has only been tested on my phone. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are 3 files attached.
messaging.zip - restores original blur messagine apps, including corporate sync, txt messaging with balloon conversation mode, and the universal inbox. It does not have the messaging widget.
taskman.zip - if you liked moto's Task Manager app, this will restore it for you so you can kill tasks and uninstall like before GB.
gallery.zip - restores the moto Medial Gallery application. Note the GB version of Gallery will still exist and both will work.
Quick instructions:
* You will need CWM Recovery for this
* Follow CWM instructions exactly - especially the part about plugging into the AC adapter or it won't work!
**NOTE** this will also install the original blur txt messaging interface with the conversation balloon mode. Its all one application so no way around it that I know of.
1) copy one of the zip files (attached) to your sdcard root directory
2) run CWM according to instructions in its thread
3) after reboot into CWM select "Install zip from SDCARD"
4) select "Choose zip from internal sdcard"
5) scroll down to the zip file name (ex: messaging.zip)
6) select the file (power button) and run the update
7) go back to main menu and select "Reboot system now"
A few steps but doesn't take long. I just pulled these out of the gingerblur-bloatware.zip and figured out what file structure you have to leave in place for it to function.
Hope this will save people some time.

I think there's a bloatware restorer on the greyblur site. Try that.
Will that install it all back tho or will i be able to pic
well ill look at it and see if it can do only one thing
thanks i forgot about that
Alright so i found them in the files there how do i delete the new one and get this old one back on there? im so confused help!
Still have not figured it out some one help?
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-reinstall-deleted-system-apps-bloatware.html
That thread helped me how 2 install the files but i cant install them it tells me
Application not installed any clue how 2 fix this and remove the old one some thing? any one?
You need to download the messaging bloatware zip, reboot into recoverymode and use CWM to install that zip file... It's the same process as installing grey/gingerblur.
Well if i new where the messaging bloatware zip was i would try 2 get that
i know they have the full one with everything but is there one with only the messaging part? or some thing like that?
Well i tryed 2 just install the messager part and i soft bricked my phone just fixed that but still dont have the old messaging system
Go to the android development section and find the gingerblur thread (it shouldn't be difficult). Then go to the gingerblur website given in the thread and download the bloatware.zip. you will also need tenfars cwm recovery which is in the development section also. Then just flash the zip file using the cwm recovery guide. Make sure your phone is plugged into a wall outlet charger when you do this (not a computer USB port) or it won't work.

Hi,
I am using a Samsung Galaxy 3 with android 2.2 and I want to install some application what is downloadad from many different sources.
I have red many questions about this issue but could not find a solution to solve it.
So now here is my problem:
1. I copy the choosen .apk file on my SD card.
2. I have downloaded ASTRO file manager.
3. I have ticked the option installing non-android applications.
4. I want to open the apk file from there but when I click on app installer I onyle get a blank screen and under the details I receive the following error message:
Could not open xy.apk as APK file.
I am really going mad now I have reading forums for ages.
Please help!!!
Thanks
In the meantime I have also copied some music files on my mobile, these are all MP3, works fine on my comp however when I wanted to play it on my mobile with several music players it said the file format is not supported...
Something is really messed up here...
The phone used to have 2.1 and I made the update manually but after the update I am having these kind of problems...
Re-flash stock
Re-Flash stock rom through ODIN
This might solve it.
I think you are a little bit late.

Try using an Apk installer off the market.
You can find many different apk installers off the market. Try Easy Installer or Apk Installer.
Agreed. This thread was long dead. His main issue is that he was using a clone device. Not a real S3

i am using samsung galaxy ace with a custom rom. i want to have some of the stock apps mainly stock camera, stock task manager, and stock messages. is there a way i can get it and put it in my custom rom ???
my method-
i am not sure whether this will work or not but i think that if i get the apk file then i can put it in root/system/apps and set permissions to rw-r-r. this should work according to me.
but how do i get the apk file?
for that also i think i could extract it from the installation files for stock rom...
but the installations i have come across are either .md5 or .tar files for stock rom. hence i am unable to help to extract it and get the apk file. also i am unable to find a direct zip installation setup via cwm for stock rom. if i get that then its easy to extract the apks.
please help. i am not sure if my method is right. if it is then help me with it, if not then please tell me the other method
I think it´s not that easy, becaus the stock apps are using another framework, so they will not work if you just put them in the root/system/app folder. You have to install the framework which is used by the stock Samsung rom. If I´m wrong please correct me.
Hi i just got my g note yesterday and i am trying to download an album on the phone which are zip or rar files. I keep getting download failed and i keep retrying the download.

download dolphin from the market. I think the stock browser has issues with compressed files. I have the same issue and use an alternate browser.
Ok try is app "DOWNLOAD ALL FILES" in market...that should solve your issue....and yes the stock internet brower sucks....try firefox,dolphin.or even opera,there more user friendly when clicking files to download....good luck and keep us updated..
the zip i was trying to download has a try limit of 3, i didnt know that so it failed and now the link to that file only exists in the download list of the default browser. Does anyone know where i can rip the link from the phone so i ca attempt it on my pc
