File location for ICE ROM
I could not post in the specific forum so I guess this is the only place to ask.
I was looking to flash ICE to my Optimus V which currently has CM7.
The file in the topic is causing me a problem in that when I try to extract it I get an error from IZArc that it does not support that file type? It is a .zip file?
Is the download corrupt or something? Is there an alternate location to obtain the file?
This is the thread I refer to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332644
The file is: signed_ICSandwich2.3.7...zip
I have it...cannot be opened.

Howdy.
There is no reason for you to open that file. No matter what you want to do with it.
What it is designed for it to be flashed onto the internal storage of your phone in order to install a version of Gingerbread that has a very nice ICS theme integrated into it. It is not an Android 4.x ROM.
If your phone is rooted and you want to flash that ROM onto it then the best place to look for information on that particular ROM is in the thread you posted the link to. It may take some searching.
You may also want to look here for information on how to get the contents of the .zip file transferred over to your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
Given that you are trying to open the .zip file I think you may be a candidate for learning some of that material. Unless you just wanted to analyze the structure and quality of the developer's work. (;-)
Even though you can't post to the thread you listed above you _might_ be able to get some help if you send a private message to the developer or, preferably, one of the other posters. But he may not be able to offer the assistance that you need.
Don't give up, but still, be prepared to find alternate routes to success.

New ROM!!! - TechLust ver1 BETA <SJK> - Help me cook better!

Hey Wing Nuts! Sorry... I'll never make that joke again...
I'm new to cooking, so I need help. This is my first ROM. I have done minimal testing and have made no changes as of yet. I'm hoping a couple of you can help me figure out what to add, change, or remove from this ROM and work out any of the other bugs so I can get better at making them.
The goal of this build was to make something aesthetically pleasing, not too stripped, and still lightweight enough to make the most of the limited space on the P4350.
This build is for the Wing only (Herald keyboard is not supported) and was designed for use with an RUU. I have no idea if it will actually work via SD re-flash, but if you decide to try, let me know.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Message me to get a DL link.
On a side note, does anybody know how to add CABs into SJK so I can cook them into ROMs?
Maybe I can post the link like this...
Code:
Go to mediafire and use the following extensions, but replace the commas with slashes:
,file,widwm4iji4y,T L ver 1 - BETA.nbh
If you want, follow my guide in my sig to learn how to utilize .cab files in your building experience.
I'll also give the ROM a run and test it out for you.
Please also do me a favor and let me download your kitchen .erv file so I can help you better..
Navigate to C:\kitchens\SuperJustKitchen\Working_Folder\TOOLS\RomSaved and you'll see the saves that you saved.. If you didn't save, try to mimic your ROM again in the kitchen and save for me and then upload it here in a .zip file.
I think I understand. I'm cooking a new version right now, so I'll get those files to you as soon as it's done. I'm using the most recent version of SJK, just fyi (the one based in osKitchen1.0). I know where the .fe file is, but I don't have a Working_Folder in my SJK files...
I tried using your guide, but the pictures you have posted don't match what I see, so it confuses me...
My kitchen files are based off of Bebe's kitchens. I have links on my guide on the first post of that thread.
What build are you using?
Version 7. And in my guide I have all the Sys & Xip files that are also up to date too.
lol @ "wingnut." Made me chuckle.
So, update...
Recent computer issues have lost me some cooking time...
Also, when trying to cook the new ROM, SJK seems to have lost a file that is integral to the creation of a new rom, so I have to go back and find it in the original .7z files.
I also installed Ivan's JustStable5 Micro onto the test wing, and now it won't accept a reflash either through SD or RUU. So I have to work on that issue as well. I'll let you know when we're back up and running.
Otherwise, any existing feedback on the ROM will be helpful before the new version is finished. Thanks everyone!
New Release
Ok, so all off the issues I was having have been solved. I've switched to bebe's kitchen (thanks Trib!) with Ivan's files and have a new version uploaded. Link below.
Changes:
Some icons changed to fit theme. More to come!
Custom splash animation added.
(Trib, how do I change the ugly orange Windows image, as well as get rid of the greenscreen startup?)​Rid ROM of several useless files and added a few new ones.
ROM size dropped 20MB (From 77MB to 57MB)​
After Flash:
Storage Memory:
Total: 45.92
In Use: 7.64
Free: 38.28​Program Memory:
Total: 49.83
In Use: 40.42
Free: 9.41​

Thanks Trib. I actually like Bebe's version better...
You're welcome. I feel bebes is easier to work with..
I'll get the save file uploaded soon. There's an issue that I noticed with the "incoming caller" icon not showing. I modified it so that the sihlouette(sp?) is outside the original square size, but not outside the original image size? Is that a picture demension issue?
Archive your complete working_folder for me and upload. I'd like to see all files so I can help..
Unfortunately, the work computer isn't working again. I've never gotten so many BSODs in my life without any real explaination as to the problem. It seems to do it whenever it feels like it.
Anyways, I digress, I'll get you the working folder as a 7z asap. Post any thoughts you have on the ROM in the meantime.
Hey, I can't get the file to upload to rghost. I zipped it with "ultra" compression. Should I have done something different?
Use mediafire or 4shared or megaupload then.. I have an account with all of them.
Is it normal that the WorkingFolder.7z file is over 300MB?
Yeah, that's nothing.. My kitchen is over 3 gigs - thats 3072 MB's , lol.
So, I'm trying to work with rghost, filefactory, and megaupload all at the same time, but none seem to be actually accomplishing the upload. wtf.

[Q] SuperRam FroYo for HD2, question about it. New here.

So I looked at the SuperRam Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518) and downloaded the files from the link that is posted on that thread:
http://www.multiupload.com/01Q9CDT76Y
And the instructions say to "copy the files Android and Media to the root of your sd card....." However, there were no such files in the download. No file named Android and no file named Media.....is there a newer thread that I just haven't found yet? What should I do?
Thank you.
What was in the file when it was done downloading?
Should be a zip I believe. Create a folder and extract your download to the new folder. Your android folder and media file should appear. Pm me if you need more help.

Help needed
i first off want to thank the creators of this build its GREAT!!! I do have a couple of problems with this build that are not common to any other person. I have been experiencing sleep screen that does not wake from its slumber. To correct this i have to log into facebook and press the "home" key to prevent it from its blackout. If this occurs i have to pull the battery and reboot. Im currently on
radio:2.10.50.26
Kernal:2.6.32.15
Darkstone SuperRAM Froyo V1.5
I have read the fourm on this build over and over. I cant stress the fact that there are a lot of people out there without common sense. Since im new to the site i cannot post to the build but if anyone that has experiance with this rom i would appreciate the assistance.

[Q] Help with "Stock Android 2.2 Keyboard"

Hello, I recently upgraded to Android 2.2 (Froyo). I was unhappy with not having the (all so accustomed to) Android keyboard and began researching alternatives. I stumbled upon this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780683
I downloaded the file (.zip file) and succesfully got it on my phone. However, I do not know how to go about using a 'root' or what a 'root' is, and I also don't know how to copy the
"/system/app/LatinIME.apk
/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so"
to the system folder.
Any helpful responses will be greatly appreciated.
U r far far away from doing this....!!!!
Rooting is firstly necessary... Its the process where u get access to ur system files by deleting some system files via softwares and/or programming skills.. It also void your manufacturer's warranty..
Do not root only for installing a keyboard..!!! Its a big thing and not for beginners..!!
Then again u have to install custom recovery which is, kind of like bios in computer!! Via custom recovery u can install zip files!!
Good day

Thanks for your replies. I don't necessarily want to void my warranty- being a construction worker and all, phones need to be able to be replaced cheaply- so is there any other possible way to get a free keyboard like the Android 2.1 one? I found a free 7.1x keyboard that was good and easy to use, but you had to pay in order to get options (such as turning off that incessant tapping sound).
Any good free keyboards anybody can point me to that are simple to install?
try this link..
scroll at the middle of the page.. u will see a download option.. download those keyboard apps.. it can also run or other devices besides htc.. download your correct resolution keyboard (download all and see which works best for you)
you will download a zip file.. install the two apk's BY BROWSING TO THAT FILE USING A FILE MANAGER AND THEN CLICKING THE FILE...
GO HERE TO DOWNLOAD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=5475283
INSTALL THE ONE WHICH FITS YOUR RESOLUTION
TRY THE LAST ONE 1ST(LOWER RESOLUTION KEYBOARD)
AFTER U SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THE TWO SOFTWARE GO TO settings->language & keyboard and then check mark the htc ime keybord..
then suppose u want to use it to text.. then open messaging-> new message
then press and hold the blank area where u type ur text.. select input method and click htc_ime keyboard..
also u may go to settings from the messaging and select htc_ime to use the keyboard..
GOOD DAY
Oh yeah!!
Unzip the files u download to your phone's memory card 1st!
I have the .apk files in my SD card. How do I install them?
browse to the files using a file manager.. the file manager is provided in every phone..
now go to the files.. and install them one by one.. to install select the file.. that is touch the files and then press install..
Thank you kindly. I should have mentioned I had a Galaxy S Vibrant. The one I downloaded did have a resolution too low but I guess i'll just try out a few more and go from there.
Again, thank you.

[Q] Proper method to flash firmware through microSD

Dear Fellas,
After reading a bit through the pages of this Q&A forum I realized that there is no thread describing a proper method to flash a stock firmware into our "stock" tablets, I mean, without any customization or root.
Anyone please, could share his knowledge and enrich us into this subject? Yes, anyone knows how to proceed to flash a stock firmware through microSD?
Just to make things clear as possible, my wondering extends to which files add into microSD, the correct format, the correct structure to flash.
Really appreciate ideas and directions.
Cheers
Erick
Get the firmware you want from the asus webpage, extract it, find in the extracted path another zip archive and rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE Make sure you leave it a zip dont change the extension AND make sure it is on the root of the card... boot by pressing the VOL DOWN + POWER button... as soon as you see some text press within 5 sec the UP button....and wait

APK-structure

Dear comunity,
is anyone here who can tell me how to find out which files are necessary for a uncertain apk?
This question might look strange but I'm asking because I try to get an apk from a 4.0.x firmware to a 4.1.x and it doesn't work.
The apk I'm talking about is the Snote.apk from the N8010 device and this apk needs a lot of lib's and other fils to run.
So to get it run on other firmwares I need e.g. a tool that shows me which files are in cooperate with Snote. Or otherwise in which file into the apk are these information written?
This question might be helpfully for all android-users who want to find out which files are needed for an apk they want to port.
Thank you
