[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

This thread should have been posted on a microsoft windows forum. Period.

cant find the native music player

Hi guys,
I installed a asop r3 nightly, along with gaps, but for some reason I can't find the default music player..the widget is missing too can't installed music from play.store as I'm in the UK
How can I get it on there?
Thanks in advance.

it's because of license, just search for playmusic.apk in the rom thread
edit: here the link for the apk

Depends on what their recommendation is.
If its just a .zip with the .apk inside it, you can just unzip and install the .apk with a file explorer.
If it's a .zip made for flashing, just flash it via CWM.

Yea, the zip file didn't contain a apk, and via cwm it failed to flash!
not sure what to do now...

What folders are inside the ZIP? If it has things like "assets", "META-INF" and "res", change the file extension to .apk and install as normal.

yup that was it, just figured it out and installed them (when I downloaded a apk file which was exactly the same size).
Thanks!

Rom toolbox pro

I'm trying to compile a flashable zip file with the file manager inside this app. It does not do it correctly it creates a zip folder with the flashable folder inside which does not work I need a direct folder that opens to become flashable... Am I doing something wrong can anyone knows try to create a flashable zip file with this utility. I have root explorer and that works great but I would really like to use this app instead

I've zipped and flashed whole roms with this app? What is it doing wrong? What type of zip are you using? 7zip?

I zipped JusTunBean and it did this
JusTunBean/JusTunBean/flashable stuff root explorer does JusTunBean/flashable stuff make sense? It's making a folder inside a folder

Gimme a little time to unzip then rezip something and see what it does for me! I'm at work so it won't be right now but soon I just unzipped and zipped a kernel file perfect. Are you trying to rezip a file you unzipped. If so go to the screen that has the Meta info and multiselect all of those then zip. If you want I'll show you screenshots, just let me know

Thanks I got it the difference is with route explorer you just hold down the folder you want to zip and it doesn't for you but with Rom toolbox you have to multi-select the different ones then zip

Rom flashable .zip not working properly

I made a rom with bloat removed and some of my useful app into /system/app, after flashing the zip phone boots to OS but
i dont see my apps installed into system, also the airplane mode toggle is also missing from power menu.
I trying to flash stock GB rom.
when i look into system/app using root explorer i can see my apps there with proper permission but they are not installed
What can be the problem?

Are the APK files well-signed ?
Try to install them manually directly from the /system/app folder.
Hope I helped.
Cheers.

I figured it out my self, those .apk files were having space in their name and so they didnt install in /system/app.

Great !

[APP][MUSIC][Tested] Music app by Sony

Don't be careless & blame me after
it's just simple instructions
ROOT NEEDED
1. Download latest apk (tested and working version 9.0.2.A.0.0)
Current version "Music v9.0.2.A.0.0.apk" by Sony (previously aka Walkman app)
Google it to download or from the link provided
2. Rename the downloaded apk to "com.sonyericsson.music" and also create a folder named "com.sonyericsson.music" and put the apk inside this folder.
[OR just download the file i provided, just extract it.]
3. Use any file explorer (i used FX) to copy it to the directory [# System (Root)>system>app] & paste the folder here
4. Reboot and Enjoy
do you like any other music player other than this let me know

Good! :good:

Did'nt worked here, I put the extracted folder in the system apps, reboot and nothing... Any ideas? I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- only in the folder, not in the apk, trying again.
Best greetings

Didn't worked for me so i downloaded the latest version from apkmirror and pasted it in system/app without the folder and rebooted and it worked
