Hi DUDES!! ; D
I have spent over a week now, getting tried to get to the froyo on my HTC Desire but it fails me yet ..
I really do not know what to do .. .. Have heard here and many others have got froyo on their HTC Desire but how!? : /
Have tried these things ..
geekword.net
This website I understood, but I could not figure out how to install Rom, I have renamed the zip folder to update.zip and put it on my sd card but it keeps saying "Installation aborted" ...
forum.xda-developers.com I went on the link called How To: Root the HTC Desire
theunlockr.com
Finally I found something that worked until I found out when I reached fake flashing so as recovery menu appeared as Nexus one, the menu came up but I could not go up and down the Tools menu. who stood at the bottom Not build seen? : S .. I have installed HTC sync driver and android-sdk_r06-windows, but sometimes pops up on screen where it says "driver not functioning properly, try windowsupdate" What `? I went in and investigated on my Device Manager and there I found out sometimes lacked the android 1.0 driver, but I've also been looking for but could not install it: S..
I am a huge problem!! ; /
My operating system on my computer is windows xp ..
Hope will help me, can simplehen not wait to get to the froyo on my HTC desire! ; D
Thank you for your time and help!
Sincerely. Jeff
eerm i think if you use fakeflash and put the rom on your sd card and rename the rom in update.zip, you overwrite the fakeflash?!
do not rename the rom. install fakeflash again and boot ur phone in recovery. install from zip an choose the rom
Have you tried this?
If it doesn't work, try this one. The zip package you'll download from there includes the drivers you're gonna need (from what I can remember, can't check right now - I'm at work).
Good luck!
In several places in the forums I see DSP manager mentioned as a way to change the sound output from the phone.
It is possible to use the .apk file or flash the .zip file to a stock firmware that is rooted (no other changes), or does it have to be applied to a custom rom?
Ta.
Here you go...

Flash as you would a ROM
Hmm, I flashed it and the settings appeared, but they seem to make no difference to the sound output!
Trying via headphones? As I doubt you'd notice from the internal speaker
Other than that I can't help, have no issues personally
Yep, trying via headphones. Seems to make no difference at all. I am running a stock rooted HTC Rom.
Hi, I flashed the DSP from recovery and rebooted. Installation was successful but I can't find the app anywhere in my phone? where do I see it?

For anyone else having this problem:
I didn't find the app I installed so I searched the net for other installation files, and found this:
h ttp://androidforums.com/1446319-post107.html
after I flashed this and rebooted, I got a 'force close' notification for the app. Than I went to /system/app/DSPManager.apk and installed it.
DSP Manager now working great ^^
I did as u said but it gives me a force close and when i try to install it i cant cause its already installed, cant uninstall it either, what should i do ? BTW I'm using AuraxTSense v7.4
did you install the one in the second post as well?
I'm using AuraxTSense 7.0
Yes, first I installed that one, it didn't work, then I installed the other. Is that the problem ? I thought so... so how should I fix it ?
good question..I'm not sure.. try installing the first again
Ok I did it, it removed the app from the app list. What now ? If I try installing it from /system/app it gives an error.
I don't know.. i just rebooted my device and it gave me the force close again. so I did what I did the previous time and ran that app from the location I wrote.. worked like a charm.. again..

I installed the other zip again, gave me a force close so went to system/app and tried to install it but I can't, only have the options uninstall and launch... No idea why is it working for you and not for me...
EDIT: Ok it works now, had to remove first the odex file and install the other zip again
Update DSP Manager
You can remove the DSPManager.apk file using the terminal emulator.
NOTE: You need to have a rooted phone, Superuser & Terminal emulator.
STEPS
1. Change to root user it is granted super-user permissions.
su -2. Then change to the system app directory.
cd /system/app3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp4. Move the new apk file to the system app directory.
NOTE: Change to the directory where the DSPManager_1.0.apk is.
cp DSPManager_1.0.apk /system/app5. Reboot the phone.
6. Check in the apps list and the new DSP Manager should be in there.
NOTE: If it all worked you can remove the DSPManager.apk from /tmp
rm /tmp/DSPManager.apk
Attached is the version I use on my rooted HTC Desire.
In order to work, DSP Manager also needs a file called libaudioflinger.so in the /system/lib directory in addition to the apk.
The easy way to get this done is to use an update zip for DSP Manager. Get it from one of these links (all links from this page):

I don't think you can install the zip from Astro Explorer because it needs to copy files to the /system partition which is read-only when the phone is booted up. In other words, you must have a rooted phone to do this.
If you do have a rooted phone, then reboot into recovery mode and install the update.zip the usual way.
If you don't have a rooted phone, well that's a whole different story.
i , please help me.
I've installed it via recovery and I made backup with my original needly files: libaudioflinger and libaudio. Then i copied my files back (deleted new files and moved old files) . I restarted my phone and it didn't boot. Just show me the White window (T-mobile)... Can i repair my phone by myself? Please help me and sorry for my english.

I'm sorry I don't really understand the problem. Normally, installing the update.zip should be all that you need to do. I don't understand why you copied the old files back and were those two files the only files that you backed up?
This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch
I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.
What it does:
Enables ADB via uRamdisk
Installs adbWireless
Installs Button Savior
Installs NookTouch Tools
Installs Amazon Marketplace
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs ADW + E-ink Friendly Theme
Installs Busybox & Busybox Installer/Uninstaller
Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)
System Files that get Modified:
/system/build.prop - Enabling Google Check In
packages.xml - Allows Gapps to install properly.
framework.jar - Should allow a proper Android ID to generate.

June 22, 2011 - Fixed: Script not running at boot.
June 20, 2011 - Initial Release
Before you begin:
You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch
You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).
You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-2-1-31.zip - Uploaded
Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-xx-xx-xx.img of=/dev/sdcard (where xx-xx-xx is the version number)
Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps
Download Underclock.zip from uploaded attachments
Unzip it and place the data folder in /nooter/
Check that the com.antutu.CpuMasterFree folder is in the /nooter/data/data folder
Check that com.antutu.CpuMasterFree.apk is in /nooter/data/app
Power off your Nook Simple Touch.
Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.
Power on your Nook Simple Touch.
You should see the new TouchNooter boot screen, follow all instructions.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
Upon boot unlock your screen.
At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
Enable Location Services when given the option.
Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from ADW's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).
Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).
Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from ADW's App Drawer.
Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
At this time Market fails and you must wait up to a day. Just check it every so often. Future updates should fix this.
Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format

Hi
It works great, thanks.
Beside the full GApps do you know if there's a way today to get the Market working on a firmware 1.1 with TouchNooter 1.11.11 ?

Go through all the steps manually with something like noogie. The reason TouchNooter can't do it is because to get the script to run requires the the system to boot, replacing the files while the system is active will cause the system to crash when you go to reboot it to complete the steps for Market. Because of this to install Gapps you have to use a method that doesn't require the system to be active like Noogie.
Another method which would allow us to add Gapps, is if someone completed a version of CWM for Nook Touch.
Dear Gabriel,
somehow i gained working market on my Nook with 1.1. I used the older touchnooter with subplanted framework.jar and uRamdisk (wifi one). Then i've done all steps as in guide. Market however didn't saw any applications. I removed youtube app, and it started working! Then updated market to that one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51 using adb.
"adb install -r Vending.apk"
And right now i'm cool.
I've done the root for 1.1 manually, and it was a bit of a pain, so everybody should be thanking Gabrial here for streamlining the process a bit and not having to hunt down all the elements necessary to make a rooted Nook useful. (It's not actually difficult, but nobody has centralized *all* of the info even if much of it can be found in the Knowledge Base thread, including e.g. that you need Busybox even for something as simple as the cp command.)
domi.nos-
Is the -r switch for reinstallations any different than removing the old Vending.apk and then installing the new one? I still have not got market 100%; search won't work. Is it working for you? It's not really that big a deal because I only need a few apps but all the same it'd be nice...
Is it necessary to revert to original Nook ROM (the backup I've made before rooting the Nook Touch)?
No as a see it does not search. ;/ But in my opinion it is more important to find out why did my nook (any everyone elses' as i presume) disappear from pc market website.
But as i remember in the previous 1.01 software market couldn't do true way of searching, it was only showing most used searches.
This may sound dump, but I don't have a lot of knowledge with android yet.
This root is without any google apps, Can I download the google apps apks and install them on my device?
Dark_hawk,
From what I read from Gabrial, the only way to install Gapps if when nook is booting, and there is no safe way as from now. I'm still checking, though.
My experience so far? 1.1, touchnootered with 1.11.11, backup recovered with titanium backup pro (which worked quite well, I might add), and besides market, everything else is working?
I'm looking for info on how to install Gapps, or market at least, but no luck yet. Gabrial mentioned something about using noogie, but I don't even know where to look for Gapps version that may work on Nook STR>

The Easy method above worked perfectly with my new nook running 1.1.0.
all I would add is that I got search working in the market by toggling "allow non market apps" in Nook Tools app, then installing the vending.apk file from my sd card with ES file explorer as an application. just select yes when it asks you to replace system app.
To get ES file explorer to begin with, I scrolled thru the whole list of top free apps, which took awhile.
Apps that I was able to install and work:
ES file explorer, Facebook, Google reader, Google voice, XDA app, Opera mobile, Opera mini, Google+, Quickpic and Paint easy.
Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that made it easy for a N00b like me to root and customize my NST!

+1 It seems ES File Explorer is not installed!
Well, I followed the recipe:
- Restored
- Resetted
- Updated to 1.1.0
- Touchnootered with 1.6.24 and framework and uramdisk for 1.1.0
- Three locked boots (at least 5 minutes each)
- When tried without SD, got back to regular nook!!!!
I did register, though, after reset. Would that make a difference???
Gotta try.
I've tried to install ESFile Explorer through browser but with no results. Besides, browser crashes when, for instance, I try to write something on google.
One way to side-load apk's

The way I did it was to copy apk's to my SD card, then download a file explorer/manager app from the market (my personal favorite is ES file explorer), which allows you to view the contents of your SD card, and select apk's to install.

It sounds like you did it the exact same way I did. Just to make sure did you delete the old Framework and uramdisk files, then copy/rename their replacements to match the original files? i.e. framework.jar and uRamdisk

I think the easiest way to get it would be from the market. if you haven't updated the vending.apk file to fix searching the market then you would have to use the category buttons at the top of the market to browse for it and install it.
Yes, I deleted the old version, installed uRamdisk usb 1.1 and framework 1.1.jar and renamed them properly (same name as erased files).
Did it all over again, no registering, and same result: after running for 3 times, went back to regular nook STR!!!
Forget about the restart the process three times, do it like this:
1) Use nookRestore to restore /system.
2) Erase and Deregistered to wipe /data
(If it dosnt let you, force it shutting down your nook, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds).
3) Register, or not, as you preffer.
4) Apply 1.1 firmware update.
5) Open the TouchNooter 1.6.24 image and inside the nooter folder, search and substitude the uRamdisk for this one http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG
and framework.jar for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19201466&postcount=352.
6) Use the new TouchNooter 1.6.24 to root your device. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132693
If it dosnt work, try again until it works.
7) Continue with registering: Youtube (401 error) --> GMail --> Market.
8) Download adb, and unzip it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
download this vending apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
and sqlite3:
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3070900.zip
copy the apk and sqlite3 tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools , open cmd and then:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
Now we are going to enable non market apps use my method, or what madmachinist said:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot
now when NST reboots:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
adb install Vending.apk
adb reboot
You are done, everything should work now.
Dear all, first of all...
HI!
I just registered (also after the call to arms on the original infinite thread about FP), so...
Then here is my question (that I think many already asked themselves): how to update the AOSP keyboard (4.2.2 -> 4.4.2) from F-Droid?
Problem: just doing it doesn't work, since the signature is different.
Solution 1: unistalling directly the keyboard is not possible, since it is a system app ==> FAIL
Solution 2: with system/app mover I moved the app in order to be able to uninstall it ... but it actually just disappeared
The app just doesn't exist anymore. Not too bad I thought. Problem is I can't reinstall it from F-Droid: everything looks smooth until I get a straight "Application not installed". I already rebooted and cleaned the caches. ==> FAIL again
So.... any idea?
Thanks in advance at least for reading.
P.S.
Where do I add a signature? I would like to say everywhere that I am NOT using the google apps
You can deinstall any system app using titanium backup. After that you should be able to install the ap from f-droid. The titanium backup .apk cann be found on their website.

But if so, you can change it here: Control Panel -> Edit Signature

The signature thing was just a P.S. since I was already posting, of course I'm not going to add a thread just for that. Then if you mean that my question is a nonsense because the 4.4.2 keyboard is meant to be for Android 4.4.2..... ok, let it be! My apologies
Still, for someone new to Android, with a FP, using F-Droid, my thread could be useful (and the result, up to now, is: just don't).
Now I am trying to reinstall the keyboard from the flashable zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663, but it still gives me "Installation aborted". So I think I'll withdraw and restore the OS.

No, I did not mean anything about the keyboard stuff, which is useful for several people using the Fairphone. Misunderstanding.
But I mean, there are several junior members, who posts nonsense like "nice" or "that's great" just to get a higher post count. You did not cross that line, that's good. Keep us informed about the keyboard for the fairphone, maybe you find a workaround, other apk installation files... anything. :good:
I wonder what's causing that? Could be the app wasn't removed properly; I tend to do that kind of thing via adb. It is possible to install with a different package name but a small change has to be made to dictionaries.xml before building. I already do this myself.
I found a solution,
This allows to update almost any system app in your android device. It is also quite risky, so I am not responsible if it goes wrong
First make sure that you have installed another keyboard and set that other keyboard as default, just in case. For example install anysoftkeyboard.
Check that your phone is rooted and enable adb. Download the update that you want to install to your working directory, for example I downloaded it from f-droid. The name of the apk in this example is com.android.inputmethod.latin_4424.apk
Open a shell on the directory that you have downloaded the update and follow this steps:
1) Get root permissions on your phone
Code:
adb root
2) Remount the /system partition with read and write permissions
Code:
adb remount
3) Search the name of the system apk on your phone that corresponds to the update by using a keywork from the file downloaded. In this case I use "latin"
Code:
adb shell 'pm list packages -f' | grep latin
And the output is
Code:
package:/system/app/LatinIME.apk=com.android.inputmethod.latin
This means that the apk we are interested in is LatinIME.apk and is in the /system/app directory
4) Let's do a backup of the original apk just in case
Code:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk LatinIME.apk.backup
5) Rename your apk update
Code:
mv com.android.inputmethod.latin_4424.apk LatinIME.apk
6) Update it to the /sdcard
Code:
adb push LatinIME.apk /sdcard/LatinIME.apk
7) Then copy it to the /system/app folder. Don't use the command "mv" or else you will have the following error: "failed on '/sdcard/LatinIME.apk' - Cross-device link". This is because /system and /sdcard are different partitions and the move command uses hardlinks to move files which only work inside the same partition.
Code:
adb shell 'cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
8) Reboot your phone and you are done
If you had used the commands "adb install -r" or "adb uninstall" you would have come accross multiple errors from "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]" to a simple "Failure". That is because it is a system app and in my case it had a different signature.
I just found an easy solution (that worked at least on my FP..): delete the folder /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin (I also 'uninstalled' the keyboard with system/app mover before)
I used File Manager (from CyanogenMod, installed from FDroid), in root mode.

Dear all, first of all...
HI!
I just registered (also after the call to arms on the original infinite thread about FP), so...
Then here is my question (that I think many already asked themselves): how to update the AOSP keyboard (4.2.2 -> 4.4.2) from F-Droid?
Problem: just doing it doesn't work, since the signature is different.
Solution 1: unistalling directly the keyboard is not possible, since it is a system app ==> FAIL
Solution 2: with system/app mover I moved the app in order to be able to uninstall it ... but it actually just disappeared
The app just doesn't exist anymore. Not too bad I thought. Problem is I can't reinstall it from F-Droid: everything looks smooth until I get a straight "Application not installed". I already rebooted and cleaned the caches. ==> FAIL again
So.... any idea?
Thanks in advance at least for reading.
P.S.
Where do I add a signature? I would like to say everywhere that I am NOT using the google apps

If anyone having issues with replacing AOSP keyboard with Google Keyboard, just remove any entries regarding
com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
and
com.android.inputmethod.latin
from the /data/system/packages.xml file
then uninstall AOSP keyboard, and Install Google Keyboard from an apk using:
"adb install -f -r com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-[version].apk"
Hey Everyone,
So Blizzard just released Hearthstone for android and everyone's rushing to be able to play the game on their android devices. I've seen some comments about how to get it to work but I have had no luck as my app crashes when I get to the option to log in. I'm currently on the most recent Slimkat stable build so that may be another reason as to why it doesn't work.
Taking the info I received from a thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/
Download the .apk linked by /u/Xeonelite
Download both .obb files also linked by /u/Xeonelite
Put .obb files in the directory /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone
Run the .apk to install (you may need to enable installation of unknown apps in your settings)
You should be good to go if your screen is larger than 6". If not, follow the next few steps.
Install the Xposed module "App Settings"
Enable "App Settings" in Xposed and find Hearthstone on the app list
Check the box that says "xlarge res."
Save the settings and exit
Launch Hearthstone, you should be good to go!

The link to the files are here in this comment. I've had no luck so far, but others have reported being able to get it working. Have any of you been able to get it running? Successfully got it working with my reply down below! If one of the builds doesn't work, then use the other linked!
Im just trying to get works too. I think it should works flashing some custom rom and decreasing the DPI. We only can test and test until get it

Hi, i just find that:
Hey there
It seems everybody is eager to play Hearthstone on their mobile phone, but they can't because their phones aren't 6 inch or bigger. There is a way to get around this, but it involves some decompiling/recompiling and changing two lines of code.
First of all, the tools that you need are:
To decompile the APK: This tool
To decompile CSharp: Decompile CSharp: This tool
This one requires a plugin though; when you start this software, look for the menu item "Plugins/Plugins Manager" and install the plugin called "Assembly Editor"
Other things you need:
The original APK: This one
The OBB files: These
Step one:
Fire up APK Studio and decompile the Hearthstone APK
Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file
Replace android:normalScreens="false" with android:normalScreens="true"
The same goes for android:smallScreens="false" -> android:smallScreens="true"
Save this file
Step two:
Fire up JustDecompile and open the file Assembly-Csharp.dll (your_decompiled_folder/assets/bin/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll)
Look in <Default namespace> for the class "MobileCallbackManager"
(if you haven't by now, open up the plugin by selecting it in the Plugins window (Reflexil))
There is a method in there called "IsAndroidDeviceTabletSize()", click on it
In the window of the plugin, on the "Instructions" tab, you should now see a line that has a value of 6 in the Operand column (http://puu.sh/dx8bX/bff8ee08ad.png)
Right click on this and select edit and change the value to 1 (or whatever you want, just a number smaller than the size of your phone) and then click Update
In the list on the left, scroll all the way back up, right click on "Assembly-CSharp", select "Reflexil 1.8 -> Save As" and save it (trying to overwrite the original one caused problems for me)
(If you have problems with this one, go to step two.one)
Remove the Assembly-CSharp.dll file and rename the new dll to Assembly-CSharp.dll
Steo two.one (Only if you're having problems saving the DLL):
- On the same line where you clicked edit and changed the value from 6 to whatever. Right click again and select "Replace all with code"
- This should open a window showing some code, **just click cancel**
- Now try to save using the normal steps
Step three:
Open APK Studio again
Click on the hammer icon (make sure you have the project selected) to build your modified APK (rebuilt.apk in the build folder)
Step four (you can skip this if you already have the OBB files on your phone):
Put the OBB files on your SD card in the following folder
Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/XXX.OBB
Step five:
Install the APK
Enjoy the game
I've tested this myself on a Nexus 4 (KitKat) and Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and it starts on both. However, at some point it just decides to crash on my Nexus 5 and I assume this is because of Lollipop.

So it turns out another build of Hearthstone works quite well. Thanks for your possible fix too zliffer, that may help others who might need it! This one is version 738705 instead of the 738702 which was linked before. This one doesn't require being on a GPE rom, just follow the same steps for the same files and it should work!

Nice, i will try it now. in the other hand i had read that only changing the dpi in adb it should works
You could also try this.
Runs on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 without problems. Without root!
Just copy files and install apk.
