Major Problem- installation aborting!!

Hey all. I have a galaxy S 4G and I already rooted it. Am currently trying to install the Bionix Frost ROM. Also some lock screens. The problem is every time I try to reboot to recovery it says installation aborted. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

Are you trying to use the stock recovery or cwm recovery
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

You need to use krylons final cwm. Also, to make your life easier, push the tweaks into the zip file prior to flashing. Init.d. Kg6 fugu. Updated builds prop...or just flash icbinb.

How do you push tweaks into a zip file prior to flashing?

are you trying to install lock screens from the vibrant if so it wont work
as the vibrant uses amand scripting and sgs4g uses edify
hince why your getting installation aborted

the bionix frost rom zip file. open up the cwm flashable for the tweaks and you will notice they are in a specific folder structure. the rom has the same folder structure. move the file from the cwm flashable to the rom zip file following the same folder structure and replace the file in the rom zip file. for example, if the cwm flashable has folders system/app, then move the file to the system/app folder in the rom.

that works to but i was wondering what he was trying to replace lol
so he doesnt soft brick

o i was just going to say build.prop, fugu from kg6, bootanimations and sounds, perhaps the launchers, he can build in his apps via the data folders all prior to flashing, the icbinb init.d/ext4 optimizations and so forth. nothing too crazy.

[ROM] [8/12] 1.45.401.2 OTA Stock Rooted | odex & deodex | Settings fixed

No one seemed to wanna help me so I had to figure this out myself
Started with the Europe RUU and patched the files from the OTA zip posted earlier today, rooted, the whole 9 yards.
What you get:
1.45.401.2 Android 2.3.4
disabled boot sound (I had to, sorry!)
rooted & busybox installed
odexed
unsecure boot.img
love
Deodexed version comes with all of the above plus:
busybox runparts support (init.d)
/data/app enabled
nano & bash shell
deodexed
extra love
Older kernels do not seem to work (2.3.3 ones), so you will have to stick with this stock kernel for now. I have a TMO US Sensation and everything seems to be working fine on my end (I AM running the new radio, btw).
Flash with CWM.
Note for odexed ROM!! - I mucked up the Settings.apk and included a wrong one. The correct files are in there but need to be renamed before you flash, or flash the file I linked below IMMEDIATELY after you flash the ROM (before rebooting). Deodexed version is unaffected. Sorry for the trouble!
Download Odexed -d40386a3258546ee1bd760588007d2bd
Odex Settings Flashable fix - flash immediately after
Downdload Deodexed - 71aeba2d1ae00813458b78bda5c188a0
Deodex Flashable Settings.apk fix - or just push this Settings.apk
Instructions for those not so sure which to download:
Download deodex version
Download Deodex Settings.apk flashable right below it
Place both on SD
reboot to recovery and make a nandroid backup
wipe dalvik cache (and data if you choose, I recommend doing so)
flash deodex
flash settings.apk fix
reboot

Nice one man, will be helpfull to many

yah now all will make a super mega uber fast .... rom
thanks for release, users who like all stock will be happy

Bug
(Do NOT Flash this ROM!) - FIXED
There is no Settings application!!!!!!!!
And in Menu also!!!

Am I missing something? What's so good about this. o_o

Good things ahead.

Great work. How did you apply the OTA patch "HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1" to "HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1" ?? Did you update your phone then backup and used that in the kitchen ?
Thanx

There is no settings app. Attempting to start settings from the status bar crashes the status bar process...
Nice :\
Flashed with CWM.

+1 Same prob.

It's unanimous. Settings are missing.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App. Waiting for my phone to restore.

Sorry fellas, was experimenting with one and forgot to get rid of it, you can run the following commands to get it back (it should be on your phone, I just renamed it, look at the zip ).
Open up your zip and delete Settings.apk in /system/app and rename Settings.apk.bak to Settings.apk and then rename Settings.odex.bak to Settings.odex then flash away.
Or the hard way:
Code:
roman$ adb remount
remount succeeded
roman$ adb shell
sh-3.2# cd /system/app
sh-3.2# rm Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.apk.bak Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.odex.bak Settings.odex
roman$ adb reboot recovery
**wipe dalvik cache in recovery**
reuploading a newer version.

Ripped the patch zip apart, took out any references to firmware, flashed the patch file upgrade.
In the firmware.zip were the boot.img & radio.imgs i flashed among other things I was way too scared to touch

So any "reviews" on 2.3.4, is battery life better? Anything new?
Also a question.
If I install this, would I be able to extract my backup rom of Anroid Revolution and take the apps out aswell as other things like contacts and just slap em on my SD card or in System/apps and have it all work again?

Just do a nandroid backup before, flash over, if you get no issues, great! If you start seeing issues, nandroid back, or do a /data wipe in recovery. But theoretically you should be able to.
Deodexed version is also up. flashed and seems to be working great.

I did it! Just flashed it over my old ROM and it worked like an update. Settings working, probably because old ones weren't overwritten. I'm gonna keep using it and report any problems.
Also I used root explorer to fix settings.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App. Phone is restored.

You sure it'll work ok?
I've got Android Revolution HD with No Sense (So all HTC Sense is removed)
Still safe to just flash over?

It worked for me. I flashed over training wheels.

Honestly no, but theoretically it SHOULD work. Do a nandroid, and then you have nothing to be scared of .

Since I have to re-flash I renamed the files within the zip. Let's see if it works
Also, is it safe to just remove a couple of files from the zip? I'm thinking about bloatware naturally...
It might be a silly question, but I've never messed with roms before

i dont like you and all but thanks.

[MOD] Battery Icon Mod for Stock 2.3.6 ROM

Was bored today (read: avoiding doing work), and quickly had the UOT kitchen give a better battery icon. Nothing fancy.
If anyone wants the zip, feel free. Also attached are the necessary files to make your own mods in UOT kitchen (if you're running the stock 2.3.6 rom).
....and now I guess I'd better do work today.

Without CWM (on stock 3e recovery), how's this installed? Can't install non official samsung zip files with 3e. Also, stock ROM is odexed... can i just rename/delete SystemUI.odex and replace my SystemUI.apk with this one? Or does it have to be pushed with ADB?

Good question! Wish I knew how else to install it without CWM. You might be able to change out the files, but I honestly don't know. Anyone out there know better than I?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

easiest way to install without cwm is to have root explorer extract all the files in there which should be (framework-res.apk) and systemui.apk . once extracted and in your phone sd then you have to drag it with root explorer to system/framework for the framework-res.apk and for systemui.apk to system/app but before u do that you have to fix permissions by bringing them into system folder then fix permission and then move it otherwise you'll see forecloses like no tommorow and you're done. but if your rom is .odexed its not possible because of .odex scripts it'll mess up your phone like whoa ..anyways enjoy
permission to fix in the box are like this..
Read X X
Write X
Other X

This is stock 2.3.6, so it is still odexed...

I'm on the stock 2.3.6 ROM which is odexed. I see in /system/framework there is framework.jar and framework.odex. And a framework-res.apk with no matching odex. In /system/app there is systemUI.apk and systemUI.odex. So, to avoid a FC shii storm, I should:
1) put the OP systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk in /system and fix permissions...
2) then move systemUI.apk to /system /app folder.
3) move framework-res.apk to /system/framework folder.
Do I need to delete my current SystemUI.odex or leave it? Not sure if OP's systemUI.apk is deodexed or odexed?
Secondly, do I do anything with my current framework. jar and framework.odex files?

Sorry, but it won't. But you can make your own using uot kitchen (online) for themes. Though I have read that some of the personalized ROMs don't play nice with UOT...

ive not tried anything with .odex but it doesn't work as far as i know and yah some roms that are personalized have uot problems but just follow up with devs of those roms they can fix it up and all for ya.

I can confirm that it does work with odexed roms (since it does work with stock 2.3.6).

Thx for confirming... so back to my questions above.. do i need the systemUI.odex file or does your systemUI.apk combine both? Also, do I do anything with the framework.jar and framework.odex files (or just replace framework-res.apk with yours?)

The framework and systemui files posted above are originals (I posted them in case someone else wanted to mod it themselves, so they wouldn't have to extract them themselves). The zip file is the new icon materials from UOT. Not sure how to directly install it (I've only ever installed from the zip file myself)...

I am missing something
I tried installing with CWM and following DoctorQMM steps to the letter (even learned all about fix permissions) but no matter what, my phone locks up and just flashes after the install and reboot. What can I try next?
