The update script is failing because you have modified system files that it expects to find (specifically Google Maps) in the /system/app directory. Downloading Maps from the Market won't help you, because you have to put a copy that will match the CRC check for Google Maps in the /system/app folder, and the Market download copy goes into /data/app and has a different name, crc, etc.
You need to get a clean copy from a 2.3.1 ROM that hasn't been modified in any way and put it back in /system/app.
You could also edit the updater-script to skip that file... Check out this thread, start reading around post 184 to the end and you should be able to figure it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923705&page=19

I started to add language once as the chineese ROM came out. Its kind of tricky, as you have to open up all apks, you want to translate, and add the languagefiles. When there aren't any language files, for your desired language, you have to translate them on your own.
After that you have to repack the apk, sign it, and push it on your phone.
This can give you some sleepless nights
Edit: here's the APK Manager to open/repack/sign your apks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701

ok
u can add arabic in whatsapp,heywire and firefox ?
if u can add him and place apks here pleease

No as I can't speak or read any arabic I can't do this... as well as I don't have the time to do something like this.
you have to do this on your own. If you don't want to spend some of your own time, you'll probably never get help.
You can ask questions if you stuck on a point, but you have to show that you are willing to spend times. Go on reading what I've posted above...

FYI, Arabic displays just fine in the browser on Chinese ROM, can't speak for others as it's the one on my Defy right now.

U have to extract the whole zip-file. Theres a nandroid.md5 in it. This file has a checksum in it for the system.img. If you don't use them both together, the clockworkmod won't work.
if you did all that, and still getting md5 mismatch, you really have to reload the zip-file.

[SOLVED] Original HTC Dice-Game & Teeter

Hi,
I installed a custom rom and would like to reinstall the original htc dice-game.
I have the apk from another rom, it's called dice_ml.apk right ?!
I dont know how to install it, could someone help me please ?!
sorry for me bad english
EDIT:
Howto (DICE):
1.) extract .zip and put the 2 files on your sdcard
2.) use your fileexplorer on your phone to put dice_ml.apk into your /system/app folder
3.) set Permission to:
Code:
OWNER: R W -
Group: R - -
ALL: R - -
4.) and put libdice_ml.so into your /system/lib folder
5.) set Permission to:
Code:
OWNER: R W -
Group: R - -
ALL: R - -
6.) Reboot

this also works with teeter

Process stopped unexpectedly
I have a tmous rooted s4g with stock tmo rom. I tried installing the dice app following the instructions above (using root explorer) but I can't get it to run. I've checked the permissions on both files and have rebooted twice. Any suggestions?

I'm trying this and it doesnt work for me.
Using FileExpert, I copy the files and then paste into respective folders, it looks like they paste without problems, but I cant see or search for them?
I'm using a Virtuous rom.

Ahhh... That's not good ;/ I hope that someone will fix it one day I miss my dice since I've changed ROM to ARHD ;( Please can anyone deal with that issue so we can have our dices back ;D

[Q] Error updating to 1.78.401.2

I tried to update my 1.53.401.2 to the latest OTA 1.78.401.2.
But with the normal Android OTA method, it gives me an error that it can't find the 7digital3.0.apk file. Of course it can't find it. I deleted it. But I didn't make a backup of it before deleting it
So I tried to copy the OTA zip to the "internal SD card", rename it to update.zip and flash it with CWM Recovery. This also doesn't work. It tells me, that I have a wrong CID (HTC__102).
Could anyone be so kind to upload the 7digital3.0.apk (and .odex) from the 1.53 rom?
Thanks!

Here you go mate, extract it and you will find the files you need...
If the OTA doesnt work, and flashing in recovery fails, open the .zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID..
if you dont know your CID, boot into fastboot and using adb type in ''fastboot getvar cid'' Without quotes

There should be an option to have the updater just skip whatever it can't find or which throws up inconsistencies with the DIFF updating...

I just did that now... Modifying the update script and skip updating the pre-installed apps that i deleted. ReZipped, signed, put on sd card, install from cwm recovery.
EDIT: Everything works except the SystemUi.apk... I had the 1% battery mod.
EDIT2: I reinstalled the correct SystemUI.apk by flashing the stock battery SystemUI.apk for 1.78, but since it crashed the first time, it won't start anymore at boot... Anyone knows how to fix that?

same problem, other apk...

Current OTA Update for US tablets

I posted this in the "General" forum and didn't get any response, so I thought I would post it here. I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.I figured may Moscow Desire, Vorbeth, or someone else may have a suggestion. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
"I have my tab rooted and bootloader unlocked. I used OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot. The OTA update downloaded and attempted to install but failed. I downloaded the update again and saved it to my extra SD card. I then used CWM recovery to attempt installation again. Failed again. I am thinking that maybe the unlocked bootloader or CWM is causing the failure. Anybody have any ideas or input? Thanks!"

delete the first line in updater-script and it should work
if not than it´s possible that your not on the right version or you have to remove all check line´s and install then
please upload and post the update here for other users which are not able to download it. thx

How do you save the update to the external SD? I only get the option to download, and the file seems quite hidden from me.

Where is the OTA update stored at- read this to find out

You can save the download by choosing the "Later" option when prompted to install. Then you can go to the root directory of the device to the \cache\fota_dn directory and the update will be there. From there you can copy it and save it elsewhere on your eternal-SD card of wherever. if you choose to "Install now" option, and the update fails, the OTA update is not left in the \cache directory.
I always choose to "Install later" so I can keep a copy of the OTA update. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply, but I think this is a little beyond my skillset level and I don't want to mess something up! I'm not sure how I cna upload the OTA update to this forum, but if you tell me, I will be glad to do it!

http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/40506917/file.html
That's the original OTA file. I'm not comfortable editing anything.
Thanks, bidniss for letting me know how to catch those OTA files.
EDIT:
Okay, I edited my updater-script (not the file above) and tried to install from CWM. Failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/app/LinkToFacebook.odex".)" with a big string of numerals and letters. I assume mine failed because I have deleted the Facebook link. Will try to restore it on my system and attempt update again.
Recovered my app backups and tried to install update again. This time it failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko" ...). No clue what that is, but after a quick search I found it has to do with wifi? and is in the kernel..Which I'm running the modified version of....So...Dang.
Screw it..Figured while I was already tinkering I might as well just install CM10. It's pretty sweet, by the way.

i will download it and remove all the checks, than you can try again, so i did it some time ago

edit: hier is the updater-script
change to the one in your zip an it should run through!!! but MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE.
if your on the wrong version it MAY be you screw up your sys because it looks like the file checks didn´t match.
did you do any patch before the OTA Update?

No patches. I am on the OTA JB version Acer_AV051_A700_RV09RC08_PA_CUS1 Build number: Acer_AV051_A700_1.034.00_PA_CUS1
My tablet has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. The update fails. I am turning off the root with OTA Rootkeeper. I get a message that says, "failed to verify whole-file signature"
"signature verification failed"
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
"Error in /cache/acer_ug/update.zip"
I am using CWM v6.0.1.5 to install the update.
Does this shed any light that may help?- Thanks!

"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
this is first line in updater, if you remove, this error shoul not aplly again
if other check errors apear then you have to remove all of the checks, like i did in the updater-script, which i added in my post.
else try to disable verification check in CWM

Thanks for the info! My update.zip is on my Windows 8 PC and I may have to move it to my Win 7 PC because winzip is not allowing me to extract the files so I can "copy & paste" the updater-script file you posted. If there is a simpler way to do it, please let me know and thanks again!

use 7zip or winrar, open the zip und C&P the file into it
or long way, extract all , do modify and then repack all files an folders INSIDE the extractet/modified folder, NOT the folder AND it´s content
your also able the open inside the winrar window the script and change it with Notepad++
EDIT::
aaaaah wait:
if your not able to open it, you have to decrypt it with acer decrypter first, then it´s an "real" zip
