Error flashing zip

How do I flash boot animation zip I go to recovery and flash but then says install aborted I'm using clockwork on evo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

99% of the bootanimations are not flashable. You will need to move it in a certain folder depending in what base rom you are on. Which rom are you currently running.

Cm7 do I move it using my computer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

You will need to use adb for using your computer, or a root file explorer using your phone. You will need to put the zip file in your /system/media folder and make sure it is named exactly "bootanimation.zip" for it to work. If you can't get it let me know and I will try and walk you thru it.

Any got a guide or know how to port keyboards? Please be as detailed as possible. Or if you know how maybe you can do it for me if you'd be so kind I'm trying to port the Motorola Photon keyboard.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Normally you can just use es file manager/root explorer, go into the system/apps, find the keyboard apk, then try to install it. Perhaps get a rom from that device and then extract the apk as well.

I've tried many times it says application not installed
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Please post that apk here. And I wi make it work for you. I assume it is LatinIME.apk, right?

here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34135478/LatinIME.apk
if you get it to work can you please tell me how you did it
Thanks

here try this
What I did was sign it. Should be able to install correctly now
Whether it works or not after its installed is another story...I did not test.
Is the photon leyboard much different than the gb keyboard? I'm curious.
Btw. after you download file, don't mess with it in anyway. That will break the signture.

Thanks ill try it and post results in a bit

Oh and yea it very differant I like it a lot its easier for me to type the shape is more squareish
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I tried it and it won't install.
Here is a list of what I did:
I tried installing unsigned
I tired adb install unsigned
Root explorer to put unsigned apk in system/app and I also signed it and tried all the above and no go
On adb it says something like user shared not compatible
And tried your signed apk and nope

If you have existing copy of LatinIME.apk in system/app, you need to delete it first. The signatures are different with the unsigned and signed version i posted. Please remove the apk in system/app, then try installing via adb again.

Long pressing in a text area didn't allow you to select it? Also go into settings > language and keyboards. and look for it there, as you might have to 'enable' it.

System/app

So I am trying to copy past browser from frozen rom to urban metamorpisis how ever my computer won't let me does anone have any ideas on how to do this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

If you have root you could copy it to your SD card with Root Explorer from the Market. Titanium Backup would let you back it up and restore the backup on another ROM.

Needs to be pushed to system\app with root explorer. Then reboot.

I tried that won't let me push it there for some odd reason
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Did you hit the mount r/w button in the upper left hand corner of root explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Yes I did I get to the app folder in system/app and then I clicked paste then I look to the folder and it didn't get placed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Try deleting or renaming the old file first then copy and paste the new one. Are you using Root Explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yes I am using root explorer I got it placed in current running rom in system/app and then re boot and look in app section and browser still not there try installing apk direct says app not installed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

So you paste it,check it, its there, reboot and its gone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No I reboot check its there but the actually app is not there

{TUT} How to Odex your APKs.

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute
--x----x------x
--x-----------x
--x-----------x
I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)

Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.

....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom

Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

Im not sure but check to see if the app folder you created is App or app and try it however it is there
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.
