Whenever I try to install a zip (its happened with several, but mainly SetCPU) I get the message "Installation Aborted" without apparent reason. How can i fix this?
Probably error in updater-script. Did you download it from thread for another phone (samsung, htc,lg...)?

Yeah, but I'm fairly sure its designed for all devices.

That zip file is not flashable from recovery. Unpack that file on pc woth winrar/winzip/7z and you'll get apk that you need to install. Copy it to sdcard and use any file manager to install it (i recommend total commander - free from market)

If I flash a zip on my phone and I don't like it or it doesn't work, is there anyway I can just remove with out reflashing
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That is why you make a nandroid backup. You can't just undo flashing something

Only way to uninstall zips is to plug your phone into your computer and find the zip file and hit delete but it is best to always check the ROM out before you back it up get it set up the way you like then back it up but always back up your stock ROM that way you can go back to it

That doesn't uninstall anything, it just deletes it off your sd card. Like the other guy said, Do a nandroid before you flash anything because flashes can't be undone. you can flash over it but you can't undo a flash.
That's basically what I was saying
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Not even lol. Deleting the .zip file is the file itself, it's already flashed to the phone. You could boot with no SD and still have your.zip flashed. Basically, you have to reflash the rom if you don't have a backup.

Haha that's nothing like u were saying bro lmao
@OP
Open the zip,
find the files it modifies inside system folder
Open ur roms zip file with 7z or similar
Find the needed files
Replace into zip overwriting with the originals ofc, follow the layout.
Put on SD
boot to CWM
Disable signatures
Flash zip
Clear cache/fix permissions if necessary, you haven't described what your flashing..
Reboot.
Done.
But if you don't make a backup of it and restore it's still on there?

If it ads files then yes technicly but by replacing the main files it wont be initiating only as the otigionals.. u can delete extras with a delete command in updater-script..
And yet again u didn't specify what you were "restoring"
Guess I need to be more specific lmao
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes you can remove by deleting apk just like copying apk will install (as long as it is folder you have write access to and you restart the phone).
Also keeping a copy of any apk will allow reinstall later just enable non market sources in settings use file browser select apk for install while running OS and it does not require a restart to use the app by the way). You have to use app such as titanium backup to backup your apps settings and data though.
You can also un/install using adb
Adb install blah.apk
(Google for options)
As well. Just like if you copy apks in to a ROM zip (right directories don't just drop in root; Google if needed) before flash they will also install when ROM zip is flashed (may need to re-sign but these days that usually is not required).

I can't seem to find init.d on my phone. I go to system/etc but there is no init.d. How do you enable init.d scripting? Sorry if this is a noob question. TIA to who's willing to answer.

Depends on which one your phone likes best. Each has different effects.

True, I've heard that before. Okay final thing. Should I take any other precautions before flashing that init.d zip other than make a Nandroid?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Back up the files in init.d you delete. Either move them to a safe place or copy them to a separate folder on your computer. Then you should be good to go.

Okay, well I'll flash that zip tomorrow after 13 hours my batteries almost dead lol. Thanks, again.

I tried to flash the init.d zip file provided in the link and I got an error in recovery.
E: error couldn't open /tmp/recovery.log (not sure this is fully correct)
Not sure why I'm getting this error.
I searched xda and Google before asking and only found this post and one other but it was only targeted to the Desire HD. Don't understand why there isn't a stock init.d folder or a recovery.log.

Redownload the zip and try again.

Okay, flashed the file. It said completed but right afterwards it had the same error.
E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log
So I tried the test zip provided by the OP and it failed with the same error.

Most likely outdated or could be your recovery. What recovery are you using?

RA supersonic recovery. Not sure of the version. I followed this guide.

I didn't go through with the s-off part as I read that you didn't need to unless you wanted to flash a full rom.

I use solid explorer, but root explorer, es file explorer, or astro are all good. If you can't get it to work with astro, try one of the others. It would help if you linked the icon pack you're talking about.

Does anybody have the emoji keyboard 4.2 file? I have searched and downloaded the file at least 5 different times from multiple places but whenever I go to flash the zip the installation is aborted error with the zip and I get the dead android figurine. Has this been happening to anybody else? I want the emoji 4.2 keyboard.

Have you checked the zip to seeing there's an apk inside? You may need to manually push it to /system/app and set permissions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just out of curiosity, do you have to be rooted and running a custom rom to use the Emoji keyboard? Also, Will this allow you to see Emoji everywhere they are use ei Twitter, instagram?
Yes the zip has an apk inside but I didn't push it to system because it also has libs and other files inside that I don't know how to install and where to put.

I don't think they've worked all the kinks out of that cam for all roms yet. Current workaround is to tap to focus before each shot, or shoot in action mode. See if that works for ya.

Working fine here on my end. Very nice too. I dig it.
For those of you having trouble flashing... just extract the two .apks from the zip with a file explorer, and also the lib file... we'll make this simple and I'll tell you just copy all files to the directories indicated below:
Copy the two apks to /system/app/ directory...
Now copy the lib file to /system/lib/ directory...
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions.
Success.

I'm going to upload it for you.
Here it is: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ancora.img
Complete set of images can be found here: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/ancora
Easiest way to flash an .img file:
Download it and put it somewhere easy to find, let's say, /mnt/sdcard/Recoveries
Get Recovery Flashing Assistant and edit the script to point to the above directory
Run the Recovery Flashing Assistant script
You'll have TWRP safely flashed onto your W, and you'll also get a backup of your current recovery in the directory in step #1.
