so anyone following miui knows that we get failed downloads with zip files with "phone doesnt support this format" or something similar. but apk files work fine.
i had a rom do this to me a while back but dont know which or what the fix was.
i immediately thought it was a permissions issue and noticed superuser app doesnt fix permissions like the old versions did. at least i swear it was the superuser app that allowed you to "fix permissions" . if it wasnt that ap then i have no idea what app it was.
does anyone know what this bug is and what the fix is? its super annoying and not even the stock OTA rooted roms do this.
so frustrating...

no one has any ideas or suggestions ?
what are you trying to download?
you need a file manager app or something to download .zip files.
or download crutch from the market.
nevermind its not in the market anymore i've attached it just download and install that app on your phone. nothing else is needed
EDIT: no need to triple post bro

I'm running Dk28, EXT4 with NebulaROM 1.0.7. Lately, I've tried to download flashable .zip files, and it tells me, "download unsuccessful, file not compatible" or something like that. I get the same message using the XDA app and browser. Anyone else getting this?

Same problem started happening today

Instal Auto file manager if you don't have it already. Open astro, select menu, then more, and then preferences. Then scroll down and check enable browser downloads. This should fix your issue.

Thanks, Ray. It worked.
Anyone know another workaround for this? I have Root Explorer installed, so I don't need Astro, and I'm a freak about unwanted/unneeded apps taking up space.
Jared
No that was my only solution too. I know what you mean I have root explorer too

Install Download All Files from the market.
Sweet. Download All Files worked. Thanks, man!
Alright, I have no clue as to why this is happening. I went to every remedy with no working solution. Tried nearly every Rom and changed kernels.
I have uploaded a screenshot of what I get when I try to boot bt5, any help is appreciated.
Also when I go into any file explorer to find the "existing" file no such file is found, even formatted SD card to get the same error.

looks like whatever version of busybox you're using isn't working properly, try a different one
I've tried every version of busybox they have. Nothing seems to work. It's always the same errors.

Hello,
I've flashed to a new rom and installed adfree(like i previously had) and updated list and it no longer works. it used to work on my stock root. so i figured i would try adaway and same issues...
i tried rebooting phone, clearing dalvik cache etc just to see if it would help. same problem.
could there be a conflict somewhere? am i doing something wrong?
i tried installing busybox but i already had it.
any help would be fantastic!

What'd u mean by it does not work? ? Does it say new host names found download and install but your still getting ads or is it force closing or is it saying your not roo
ted or what
It updates and says should be ad free. But it does nothing
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I find on adfree I need to have "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" checked to get it to work.
Tried it. No change. Don't understand this.

Select "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" , force update the hosts file, reboot.
That's all I needed to do to make it work on stock rooted EI22. It's possible the rom you are on has the hosts file somewhere odd?
It's possible that the image of the ad was cached somewhere on your SD card. Try the same app in airplane mode to see if it's pulling it from the net (in which case Adaway should block it) or if it's loading it locally.
Scour your card for ad images.
Try another app w/ ads.
Tried everything. I'm using acs ics 5. But I've tried other roms.
Just doesn't make sense. Could my jailbreak be bad?

can anybody make a flashable script that will install apks?
anybody know how to do this? or direct me as to how i can do this?
Here you are:

Let me know if that doesn't work.
Extract it with a file manager, and put your app in the app folder. Rezip and flash.
EDIT:
Fixed , tested, and uploaded at 9:34 p.m. central.
Sorry about the 1st one.
I gave it a try with several different apps. It aborted install and gave a status 6 code.
I followed your instructions to the letter. I I also tried through astrology by dropping app in app folder....this way I wouldn't have to unzip and rezip. Gave me same error.
I love this idea for non system apps.

Hey, sorry. I fixed the other one, tested it, and went ahead and made one for system apps as well..Dalvik will need to be wiped for either of these after flashing, of course.
Here's the system one:

thanks man! will give it a try and report back
EDIT: i create a folder in the sd card or what do i do?
Unrelated to the epic...I rooted my sisters phone while she was visiting over the weekend. She had to leave before I could flash CM7 on her phone so I'm doing it remotely right now. Her phone is old and has no support really so I'm asking here. When I try to boot in CWM it won't. I have figured out why but cannot fix it remotely. Is there a way to get gapps installed without going through CWM? Like download the .apk files individually and install them so she can at least log into her google account until I can fix it?

I think maybe you could download the gapps zip, extract it somewhere, and copy the apk files into the /system/app folder on the root of the phone. You'd have to use a file manager on the phone with root access, I recommend ES File Explorer, if you use this one then you have to tic a couple settings: Up to Root, Root Explorer, and Mount File System. After you copy the files into the system/app folder (ON THE PHONE, NOT ON THE SD CARD) then reboot the phone and should hypothetically be working.
Without having gapps, she will need to install amazon app store to get es file explorer, unless you want to track down the apk for it for her. As long as her browser is working she should be able to download the amazon app store without any trouble.
Thank you! Will give it a try.

Hm it keeps saying copy failed which sounds like there is no root but there is and things can be deleted. Anyone good with adb know if it can be flashed that way?

Weird. It installed googleservicesframework but nothing else. I still can't write anything to the root but I can delete. Its like I have half a rooted device. But I get an "install parse failed no certificates error" when I try anything else.
