Hi,
I want to install flash player on my samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830i. I have the file ''Adobe-Flash-11-2.apk'' and attempt install through 'Package Installer.' However I receive error message:
''Parse Error''
''There was an error in parsing the package''
I have the 'Unknown Sources' checkbox checked to allow for installation of non-Market applications, phone is rooted and file is not corrupt.
Phone details:

Anybody have any ideas how to get round this?

Then it must be incompatible try for a flashable zip file
adobe flash player needs some lib files...
so you can't install the app directly..
you need to flash the zip file for flash player..
you can get the zip file from rafael baugis's skydrive..or just visit his kernel's thread (rafael baugis kernel)...u will find it there..!!

Cheers for the files guys. Flashed through CWR and flash player installed*... unfortunately the app I'm using it for still doesn't recognize it as a viable source so may just have to give up.
*When I say installed, I now have a 'Flash Player settings' 'app' on my phone - but this doesn't seem to do much

Its kinda useless. The flash player doesnt help that much except for exceptional cases.
Afterall, we already have youtube app for youtube videos and not to mention video player(like mx player, stock etc) that can stream them easily.
Also most browser are doing well at decoding or running flash item in webpages.
Why do we need flash player anyway?? I dont get it.

raptorddd, you are a genius!
I have been looking for a workaround for the Flash Player problem for days. It got to the stage where I was about to jump up and down on my phone lol.
I now have working flash on my Samsung S5830i, well happy!

My Galaxy S2 has been rooted for about 2 months now and has been running on the Lightening ROM no problem, but last night when i tried to install a new ROM through CWM it wouldn't let me. I tried to install Villianrom and Cyanogen mod and both failed. Both ROM s were shown on my SD card as zip files and when i tried to move them they failed to get a signature and now when i boot into CWM neither of the ROM s show anywhere it just says NO FILES FOUND. Luckily i had a titanium backup of my Lightening ROM that i could revert to but i am puzzled as to why these ROM s wont install.
Any help would be appreciated
You are not supposed to extract them. They are supposed to be left as "zip" files.
They are getting left as zip files. All i do is download the RAR file and drag it onto sd card and there is nothing showing on the sd card i done all the necessary wipes and then when i try to select a rom off sd card this is what i get:
Android/ Attachments/ DCIM/ Download/ GOLauncherEX/ Galaxy_S_Unlock/ GoStore/ LOST.DIR/ ScreenCapture/ ShareViaWifi/ Sounds/ TitaniumBackup/ Wallpapers/ WhatsApp/ bluetooth/ burstlyImageCache/ clockworkmod/ data/ external_sd/ media/ openfeint/ samsungapps/ usbstorage/ zedge/ update.zip
But never a ROM to select from!!

Its says that it is a WIN RAR ZIP archive. Villianrom 2.4.2 from the villian website. At first you could see the file but it failed to get a signature and when i booted out and back in to CWM there was nothing and i can no longer see any files.

What is the exact error of the "fail to get signature"? You said that you see "update.zip", is that the rom? Also, have you tried a new sd card?

Really sorry but not sure of the exact error message that came up it was late last night and its not coming up with that now. I have tried a new sd card didnt make any difference. I tried the Update.zip and all i get is (replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery) and then its stuck at the screen loading bar doesnt move at all.
I have even tried it with ROM manager and left it sitting for over an hour and still didnt do anything

That means the update.zip file is ClockworkMod Recovery. Have you tried downloading the roms via Rom Manager then trying to flash them?

I have just this minute flashed it back to stock and i am about to root it again and try to install villianrom. If it doesnt work this time i am just going to leave it stock. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks again
Hi just to let you know phone is now rooted and has villianrom installed without a glitch. Dont know what the problem was but seems to have fixed itself now.
Thanks
I also had this issue early when I got my sgs2. Here is how I fixed it. I used the "unbrick" method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
So flash the package in pda that contains stock kernel and rooted rom or stock rom doesn't matter, then flash the code works kernel that contains cwm again, then you can boot into cwm and flash roms again. Not sure what the root of the issue was, I just know that this fixed my problem. Make sure that if you are flashing via cwm your are installing a .zip and not a .tar or other extension as the .tar are for odin. Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem I'll be happy to help dig a little deeper although I would bet that this will fix it
Edit: looks like you got it working while I was writing this

I had the same problem. For that you have 2 option to resolv.
1. Using flashtool, back on stock 2.1 firmware
2. Search and download from here xRecovery-0.3_GBready.zip. Put it on your SD card ( just in SD, not any folder ), and rename with update.zip. After you do all what you have to do, go into recovery mod and before to flash any custom .zip hit Install update.zip from SD Card. xRecovery will flash the update.zip from you SD. After that....that's all . Now you can flash anything you want.
P.S
If you are to lazy to search go to that link http://www.mediafire.com/?pnpvpg3cj4gvf0n
Good luck

Find the right file for your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733 ( .ftf file ). Download the file and put in firmware folder from flashtool. Power off your phone.Open flash tool, hit FLASH button, chose the recent downloaded file and click "ok". Keep back button pressed ( back button from your phone ), and connect usb cable. Now flashing should begone. That's all.
But remember!!! All usb drivers, pc companion and sdk have to be installed on your pc, before to make all that process.
Good luck. Waiting for good news.

Checked it using Root Check Basic tool, and it says i have root access... so my sgs2 is rooted
so.... i tried to install this ROM using CWM app... i tried using update, chose the file, rebooted but didnt work... it says something E: can't open .....zip
What did I do wrong?
BTW, i placed the ROM inside /download/ folder (not in external SD)

Did you download the entire package ? it may happen if the download got interrupted mid way ......... in that case you'd have a zip file of a lesser size which can't be opened ....... try extracting the zip if you get an error you've got to redownload the package....
also ensure that the package is not read only (just incase)

ok... package is not read-only... it's -rw... so it's good....
how do i check the md5 checksum in multiupload?
i m downloading the latest version now... hope it wont get disconnected...
Find an app like MD5Summer (Windoze) to check the MD5 sum once you've downloaded the package.
Also, you can use pretty much any archive program (7Zip, IZArc, WinRar) to test the archive once you've finished downloading it.
If it comes up with fail for *any* file, don't flash that package/download it again. You might have to try downloading it from a different PC/internet connection like I did a while back when I was having probs downloading roms from home without them being corrupt.

thanks y'all!!! been a great help... very nice community here
The MD5 checksum is usually listed next to the link where you download the archive wherever you're downloading it from. Honestly, it's not that important. The most important thing is you get the entire file. And if you "test" the archive in 7Zip/IZArc/WinRar & it comes up all files OK you should be fine.
I've never had a problem flashing a rom/kernel where the test in IZArc has indicated all files contained within are OK/the archive isn't corrupt.

ic.... oh well.. thanks anyway .... ohh 1 last question.. so if i want to revert to the stock rom, i just do the same thing but with the stock rom i can download from samfirmware?
Why not download the stock rom from here ? I wouldn't know about files from Samfirmware as I've never downloaded anything from there.
If you want to go back to stock, download the rom from Intratech's thread, flash it in Odin, done. Again, test the archive integrity in IZarc or similar to make sure it's OK (given you seemed to have had some problems downloading an archive that wasn't whole or corrupted).

Hello all.
I have a few questions about the Wanalite ROM that I would be grateful if someone could answer.
1) On his site it says to get MTP back you need to flash a patch which you can download. How do you flash this patch? Is it just a case of putting the zip file on my phone then installing it from the SD card using CWM?
2) He also says that he has disabled the voice talk option when you double tap the home button for faster home load. He says to re-enable it you can push a stock “android.policy.jar” from my stock deodexed rom to “/system/framework”. What does this mean? How do I do this?
Thanks

Possible as that is the usual way to flash if not its Odin flash .

Copy android policy jar from stock deodexed rom .
Put on phones sd card .
Using root explorer copy that file to system framework .

Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!

I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

BACKUP!!!
flash rom and gapps
reboot
thanks a lot for the help!
Now a question... When you tell me to make a backup, what exactly should I backup and with what program or app? Installed Titanium BAckup app and all i see is the option to backup individual apps. I expected to find something like "total backup of the device" or a similar thing that bacups the whole thing...
please tell me what to use and what to do
thanks a lot again

Ok i downloaded both Odin and the Terra Silent kernel. Samsung kies is already installed so Odin is detecting my galaxy player.
But the terra silent kernel is a zip file, if i extract it the extracted file has no extension, only says zlimage and i have no idea what it is. Then, when I open Odin, there are the next options:
PIT
BOOTLOADER
PDA
PHONE
CSC
where should i upload the zlimage?

That's because you're suppose to flash it via CWM. If it's a tar file, you flash it via Odin. And you're not suppose to extract it, lol.

PDA is the one, I believe.
Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

You internal SD card is probably switched for the external.
Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

Wait, before doing any changes like this, have you tried on going mnt/emmc or storage/sdcard1? @TheKryptonite he have a 4.0 and the sdcard is working without changing the paths.

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?
