Hi,
I want to play around with Samsung Galaxy Gear OS, so I downloaded source file from Samsung Open Source Release Center. Zip file contains "Kernal.tar.gz & Platform.tar.gz"....
1. What software or tool do I need?
2. How do I load onto microsd and boot from it?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a SmartQ ten3 T15 Android 4.0 tablet (TI OMAP 4430 SoC) on the way to me from China.
As I like to have all files on hand before gadgets arrive, I downloaded the standard firmware yesterday from the SmartQ website.
As I read somewhere (don't know where) that sometimes firmware files are zip files I renamed the extention-less firmware file to .zip and I could just open the file with winrar and extract the complete file structure of this ROM.
That got me thinking of creating my own ROM files, but first I'd like to have some questions answered by people with experience doing this.
Normal firmware update on this tablet is done via micro SD card, and by entering a boot option while holding down certain keys.
The questions:
- Is it as easy as putting in or taking out the files in the folder structure, zip the files and remove the extention and update it to the tablet?
- Winrar says the file is signed with signApk, but this also seems a very straightforward procedure to signing my own ROM's. Or will the tablet only accept files signed with their certificates?
- Anybody else have experience with firmware files for other devices who work the same way? And do you have tips for me?
One of the things I'm trying to achieve is getting bluetooth and FM to work, the hardware supports it but it is disabled by firmware.
And further on I would just like to customize the tablet further, by removing apps and adding my own and so on.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done

Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'

I have just got a galaxy s3 and are stuck at trying to install certain packages, managed to figure out how to install apk files, but the latest file i downloaded which was TV Portal and has these files inside the winzip folder: assets/META-INF/ref/Android Manifest.xml/classes dec/resources.arsc, i would be really gratefull if someone could tell me how to install these files, hope you are all having a great xmas.
So I downloaded a huge 1GB file from samsung Retailmode website for S6, it contains many wallpapers in QHD that we can use with the S6, as I don't want to get trapped in Retail Mode, I am trying to open this .main file, I renamed it to .zip but I couldn't open it, any tool I can use to open this .main file?
