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.
What site has the short video that shows how to do it... I have done it before but I don't remember everything to do

Download to your local computer, unzip and then open with your browser (Firefox works). It is a flash file (.swf) so you have to have the proper addons to view flash.
If you're a masochist and want AIR on your OV, do this:
Download the SDK (google it, it's freely available from Adobe), go looking in the runtimes directory. There should be an android directory, and in there you'll see device and emulator. Install the emulator APK, and AIR apps should be installable via the market.
Of course being Adobe bloatware, it's really, really slow. And, yeah, AIR apps look like **** warmed over, don't integrate at all with the stock Android UI, etc.
Looks like it requires Gingerbread.
This made my day, my week even, probably my entire month. I develop flash apps, and export them to run with AIR, but haven't been able to use them on my Optimus V. But thanks to this I now can.
Thanks soooooo much.

1/ It will NOT help with your browsing.
2/ No, I am NOT using it. I am having hard time uninstalling this junk on PCs where it keeps creeping back with other Adobe stuff.
3/ YES, the method in the OP works.
3/ YES, your spelling definitely sucks big time.
many thanks to doktornotor for this method.
I'm a total noob so it took a little googling for me to figure out your instructions. Figured I'd post my steps here in case anyone is as noobish (nooby?) as me.
First, go to the android marketplace and install "appinstaller" (it's free) if you don't already have it.
Then go to abode.com and type "air sdk" into the search bar. You should see a link that says "download adobe air sdk".
Choose your version (I'm on windows). And wait for the download.
Once the .zip file has downloaded to your system, open it and browse to the "runtimes" folder. Open it and then open the "air" folder inside it. Then open the "android" folder, followed by the "emulator" folder.
So it's SDK.zip->runtimes->air->android->Runtime.apk
Put the Runtime.apk file on your desktop.
Plug your phone into your computer and put the Runtime.apk file on your sd (I put in the download folder).
Then disconnect your phone and run the AppInstaller app. Find the Runtime.apk file you just downloaded and hit install.
Wait 30 seconds.
If all goes well, congratulations, you now have adobe air!
Thank again. You're a real life saver!
Trying to do this on my Optimus S, should be similar enough to work shouldn't it?
I don't have gingerbread installed currently, however my tablet running froyo installed the latest Adobe Air from the market, so is GB really a requirement here?
My Optimus is still on Froyo for now, could that be why this isn't installing?
pls upload Runtime.apk
You may now upload that Runtime.apk to megaupload or filehippo and update a link?
It will be a lot of help if done so.
Or you can PM (Private Message) me the file and i will upload it.
thanks a lot in advance.
edit :
You can upload in this thread itself you can edit the post and down below and see Attach Files... much more easier ;-)

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

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
