[Q] Anyone know how to install LMT launcher???

When i download the .Apk file it shows up on my desktop as a .Zip. If i place it on my sdcard Astro just wants to open it instead of installing it.
Any ideas on what im doing wrong???
Thank you

unzip it first on your desktop, the apk is located in the zip. and then move the apk

Hm, which version? It should just be an apk which you can download/install via phone. Or download it via desktop and move it to the phone. Perhaps your browser is doing something wrong!?

Its version LMT v0.9 here from the Xda site.
Maybe im suppost to flash it in cwm.....
If i extract it to my desktop the files that show up are as follows-
res.rar
Androidmanifest.rar
classes.dex
resources.rar
META-INF.rar
Lib.rar
No apk in there. I sure i just dont know what im doing. Guess i need i step by step guide for beginers..lol

Please don't install it via cwm! . An apk is nothing more than a normal zip file with a special folder structure/contained files (you already posted the contained files ). So perhaps your browser tried to find the "best" extension and named it *.zip. Just rename it to *.apk again, push it to your phone and try to install it again. Then it should work...

You were right. Thank you very much.
Guess windows was adding the .zip to the end of it after i renamed it .apk..lol Didnt notice that until i took a look at the file in Root Explorer and it was Lmt_v0.9.apk.zip. Just renamed it again to Lmt_v0.9.apk. Astro installed it just fine now...
Thanks again

Install apk from sdcard using your internet browser

What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!
Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk".
In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"
4. Press "Go".
That's it! Installation started!

Did you follow exactly as instructed? What's the filename of the file? where did you put it? what did you type in the address bar? Sorry for the late resply

Nice to know new things, I made ES file xplorer to esfilex.apk then it says play online it works. Now I can install a filemanager if a rom doesn't have one.
Thanks

hey i need to know if there is any operation to start notification count on the alpha3 rom?

Thx i didnt tough about this simplifies my work

You could also do
adb install /sdcard/name.apk
If you were feeling like a pro.

Or, instead of trying to remember browser commands or adb commands, just skip all of this madness and grab a flashable .zip that contains a file manager! ~
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, kids.
If you don't have a flashable file manager, just grab the one I made on the WildChild ROM thread (Post #1). Copy the .zip to your SD Card. Done. Don't ever worry about flashing a ROM without a file manager ever again.

I will give this a try.Looks interesting

Danceoff, this is for people who are trying to PREPARE for flashing ROMs on the fly. Ie. They have access to market, file explorer etc NOW but won't LATER when they actually do the flash.
I don't have service right now so my phone is basically a tiny tablet, and I'm a flash-a-holic. i flash ROMs on break at work, on the bus, etc. This is very handy for me. Thank you.

something new!

simple way to extract files from *.img is put in your sdcard (ex: system.img), mount to folder and backup using tar
Code:
cd /mnt/sdcard
mkdir -f system
busybox mount -o loop,ro system.img system
busybox tar -cf system.tar system
busybox umount system
you got your system.img content in system.tar file. if you extract in linux you got original file attributes.

install/Open Linux Reader -->Drives -->>Mount Image -->>Raw Disk Images-->>open System.img-->>Save File To Ur Folder.....
for linux use XDA kitchen (u know about it) .............

the file is encrypted. common tools won't work. I always use CWM to make a nandroid backup to extract system files from stock rom.

it is not easy on phone but on computor it becomes easy
bro this for windows 7 and series that is easy for u r using linux but we are not using it

Somekill i know ur purpose but i think irfan info is very usefull.
Why don't u make this thread general information to extract *.img from windows and linux.
If u don't have good knowledge of linux (same with me - lol) u can add link to irfan or other member that have knowledge to share.
This can be usefull thread not only in sgy but other device i think and hope usefull info not gone with spam or junk thead.
All we need is usefull information and applicable to sgy so can make our device more better.

How to flash a bootanimation with cmw

Hi, i am not a developer but i have discovered a litte trick i would like to share with everybody. If you want to change your bootanimation ( with a new one you have created or found on the internet) there are several ways to do it but i have found very easy to flash it with cmw. The procedure is this. Download an already flashable zip file like the one posted in thread cm10 bootanimation i8150 by wong.izzat. Open the file (first screenshot) and click the folder "system" then the folder "media" (second screen shot) and you will find the file bootanimation.zip (third screenshot). Select it and remove it. Now take your new bootanimation file and move it in the folder where the previous one was . Close the file and rename this flashable file any way you like it i.e. newbootanimation. At this point you have a flashable zip file that you can flash with cwm as usual: copy to the external sd card , go into recovery, select flash zip and then select zip from external sd and find your file and flash it. Reboot and you will see the new bootanimation. The procedure is 100 % safe and the only important detail is that the name of the new boot animation must be bootanimation.zip.
Hope is useful
P.S. it is evident that in order to do this you must have a rooted phone and clockworkmod recovery installed
P.P.S. if you want to create your personal bootanimation use the boot animation factory program (sorry I cannot post link but you can easily find it on the internet. it is a free program )

My backups were saved to /data/media/clockworkmod/backups. So either you can adb push your backups to there or you can put the backups onto the sdcard of your phone and use a file manager on your phone to move them to the correct folder.

Off the top of my head I believe it should be this (assuming you have the drivers installed for adb and usb debugging turned on)
Open Command Prompt
adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/(whatever the name of your backup is) c:/
this line will copy the backup you want to the root of drive C, if you want it somewhere else just change the last file path

And how can I put it back to he same location

replace the word pull with push
its one of those basic ADB commands that everyone should learn if they are messing with their phone at all....

just enter 'adb', OP - it will give you all available parameters that adb has and a small description for each, although some are pretty much self explanatory.
