I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I cannot get the rom kitchen to install in the virtualbox, I extract it like the tutorial says but can't get to the terminal ? I go to applications & it wants me to create the action or something, I'm confused here if somebody could help me out with this DISXDA's Rom Kitchen I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
I'm frustrated. I've been trying to install the NS drivers for 2 days now to no avail. I don't know where to browse. I've followed many tuts and none of the worked. Either an error appeared afterwards or I couldn't browse to the driver file because it wasn't found. Can somone kindly do a step by step simple explanation of how to do this for windows 7 64 bit... or atleast provide me with a good link?
Thank you
Nexusshacks.com has the files and a video to show you how to do it. It isn't exactly straight forward.

Already tried that method and it isn't working for me! I keep getting the error... and I'm doing it right.. EXACTLY what the guy is doing in the video.
I used that exact video and files when i did mine, Win7 x64 too (though it was the older, GB rooting video/files with older su.zip). You need to unzip the file first, so copy the usb_driver folder onto your desktop or something, then have disk --> usb_driver --> .inf file.
Could you tell me exactly what error you get?

My biggest problem is that when I download and extract the samsung drivers to my desktop it's an .msi file.. Isn't it supposed to be an .exe? Atleast that's what it says on the nexusshacks site.
EDIT: Thanks for the help Harbb but my problem is solved

Attached is the eclipse file i cannot unzip... anyone else have this issue? i went ahead and attached what i was going to unzip next havent tried it yet... been stuck on eclipse all day well nevermind guess too big to upload... just trying elcipse from eclipse website help?
I'm pretty sure that that when I installed eclipse I used WinRar, however 7zip or winzip should work, what kind of error are you getting when you try to extract the files?
have you downloaded it succesfully ?
still no success. I gave up on it... But want to get it! It says something like unkown file type or damaged.... I'm downloading it from eclipse.org eclipse basic... windows 64 bit.... I dont understand why it wont open...
Got everything downloaded now just can't add Android sdk to eclipse..... :/

If it doesn't unzip eclipse it's probably because the file is corrupted, try re-downloading it
I got eclipse now.downloaded Android sdk but can't do the thing to plug Android sdk into eclipse. Says something is missing

What error message do you get? Also make sure you have the appropriate Java version installed (At times I've noticed problems with apps linked to 32-bit libraries, opened with 64-bit Java or vice versa). Although I think it should have both installed in Windows 64-bit.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have a similar thread. The error is either
1) org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2 error
(When using eclipse indigo)
2) org.wst.sse.core 0.0 error
(When using eclipse Helios)
I will have to look at error. Its after Tron to add it. Hit next next then your suppossedto hit accept and it don't.... And I really wanna get this lined out.been Tryin since..... Last week?

not sure if this is strictly related to the problem of the OP, but after I downloaded Eclispe it would not unzip correctly. It failed on about 14 files.
After looking around, i found it was a path length problem (Windows has a path length folders+filename restriction) and the Eclipse developers know this but still make their paths quite long, since ver 3.5 or something like that.
The way i got around it was very simple: move the zip file to your root folder (eg c:\) then unzip it. You won't have all the extra folders in the unzip path that doing it on the desktop, for example, would have.
Like the title says i need a decompiling/compiling ..apktool is just not working for me!
All the other tools I know of are just wrappers around apktool, if it doesn't work nothing will. Instead of trying to find something else, troubleshoot what isn't working about apktool. Does it give some error? At what point in the process? Give as much detail as you can.

I placed two apktool files in windows folder.. Installed jre... I navigate to c/windows in cmd.. And I give command apktool if you (file direcory) without quotes...
And it just says that apktool command was not recognised..! These instructions I saw in a tutorial in xda only.. Don't remember where!!
"two apktool files" - did you download these two packages: http://android-apktool.googlecode.com/files/apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2 and http://android-apktool.googlecode.com/files/apktool1.5.0.tar.bz2 and then unpack both and copy all the contents of both into C:\windows? If so, the "apktool" command WILL be recognised in the command line (from anywhere, not just in C:\Windows).
Hey guys,
I bought a Macbook awhile back to use for school (I've got a custom Windows desktop for everything else don't worry!)
Anyways, I'm taking a photoshop class and I want to do some themeing on this machine. I was wondering if anyone of you knew of a program that I can use that will allow me to fully explore a ROM like 7zip can on Windows. I have tried a couple of different programs like Keka and Betterzip, but they don't allow me to explore the .zip like I need to. All I get out of them is an extraction, and all I get out of the extraction is the META-INF and system folder.
Also, if anyone knows if there is a proper way to decompile with a Mac? I am using the Android Utility program found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623
If there is a better way, I would love to know.
Any help at all would help! Thanks!
You can use B1 Free Archiver for Mac, it's absolutely free and with it you can explore all the files contained in archives without unpacking them. Good luck!

Did u try "The Unarchiver". Its open source too.
