Hey all,
I'm running dasbamf 1.7, and tried installing the mattHD theme by renaming the zip file to update.zip, rebooting to recovery, then running update.zip. It took, but I don't see the theme after rebooting???
Should it be installed automatically after reboot or is there a way to activate?
All you have to do is...
Backup your current Rom / setup
Download the file.
Boot into recovery.
Install zip from SD card
Find the file in your (download) folder.
Install
No need to rename it.
Don't install as an update.

Yep just install it the same way you installed dasbamf 1.7. But it is a good idea to have a bbackup.
hi im new to android phones
last week i got galaxy s2
now i found some great apps byt when i downloaded them i didnt found .apk app
instead i found few folders and files and i dont know how to instal them
should i root my galaxy?
Form where did you download them.. try using market app or download from apktop.com or android-market.co .. Also do you have System/app/ and META-INF folders in a zip file. If so you will have to install it in recovery by using install zip from sdcard option..

what app are you referring to?
if its a flash zip you need a custom recovery such as CWM or Amon Ra
there is no specific app ( i downloaded many app that was non an .apk)
yes its a flash zip
cmw comes after rooting?
thanks for your patience but im new to the world of android
So, flash cwm recovery and try to install from there.. if you flash cwm recovery you can even backup and restore your rom...
you need to root first before you can install a custom recovery.
usually system apps get install via flash zip. you sure the apk is not zipped up? sometimes you need to in zip to get the apk.
thank you all for your replies
the apps im talking about like app monster or other app that need a root
is there a safe way to root the galaxy s2 without changing the rom or the kernel
ie. i just want to be able to flash zip files ( cracked app)
and stay on my rom and kernel
and will i be able to receive apdates for the kies???
TO root s2 please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Sometime there will be .apk file directly inside zip file (this is done to reduce size of app) you should not try to install them from recovery only install zip file from recovery having sytem and Meta-inf folder inside the zip file.
Yes you will be able to receive updates via kies unless you don't flash a custom kernel...
thank you all
Hi! I just got my first Android Phone.
The HTC Inspire.
I've been told I could speed up this phone but I'm also curious to know what else I could do with it?
I used to have an iPhone and I would just change the theme and stuff...
So, I suppose my question(s) is/are;
1. How can I speed up my phone?
2. What can I do with my phone?
3. Is there a site where I can browse custom themes for my phone?
4. how do I add custom ringtones/ringback
thanks for taking the time for reading this.

To speed up your phone try v6 supercharger. Search xda forum and you will get there ..
You can do a lot of things with your phone like rooting it to make changes to system as well a ls access hidden system files and also to install app like app monster, titanium backup that are very handy ..
Not only this you can even flash/install custom Rom/kernel that are much better and optimized than stock one provided by HTC..
For more details Google root your phone model and custom kernels for your phone model ..
To get themes and more info foe your phone try to find your phone sub forum in xda forum or just Google .. to set custom ringtones you can select set as ringtone on your music player it copy ogg file to /system/media/audio (for which you need to root and use root explorer or similar app) and then go to settings.and choose your copies file..

What is App Monster? "flash/install custom Rom/kernel" ??
I'll try and find my phone in the sub-fourms
App Monster is an application that lets you manage your installed applications. For example you can backup apps and batch restore them.
HI, I am using rom 101.c.0.370 with rooted, I got 2 question,
1) I installed Rom Manager, but not able to reboot with recovery mode, does my firmware version be able to support or not?
2) I tried to installed S-note V-12 Link, as I am not able to installed the rom so I try copy all the file in folder system with permission, in lib I have overwrite the file, but I can't see any icon/shortcut for snote or other app from s-app, by app "/system/app mover", I can see those apps is in system but how am I able to launch the apps?
as far as i know there's only one way to get root and recovery on the 370 firmware at the moment there is a thread in the android development forum i cant remember the name of it but ill update this post when i find it.

Hello, today I finally rooted my sgh-t989d samsung galaxy and I was trying to install new themes. I found the theme Blue Fire, so I downloaded it and it's a .apk file. But I was just wondering, how do I get the .apk file on to my phone? I've tried searching it, and I usually get a download that shows a command prompt, but it never actually gets the .apk onto my phone. Any help please?
You can install the apk file using adb install (adb is included in the android sdk, usb debugging have to be enabled on the phone) or you just copy the file to the device and install it using any file manager (e.g. root browser).
Maybe you have to enable the installation of apk files from unknown sources in the settings.
Installed a rom without a web browser or file manager. Has a modded CWM which only allows installation of .zips. Can an apk be installed through CWM?
edit: also no Gapps (what I'm trying to install)
