[Q] Trouble upgrading to Gingerbread

I'm getting an error when I try and ugprade my Android version. I'll start with the history and spec first:
Google Nexus One, bought in April 2010, it had Eclair (2.1) on it. I wanted Froyo 2.2 (for the hotspot/tethering) but the update delays being what they were I ended up rooting it, getting clockworkmod, and installing CyanogenMod 6 (based on 2.2). It's been the same ever since and I've been happy with it. It's only because a month or two ago it stopped being able to update any of the apps that I'm even wanting to upgrade, otherwise I'd be happy with CM6. I can no longer update or even search for apps. If I can't go back to plain Android because I've gone CyanogenMod, that's fine, I'll just go for a newer version of it.
I'm not wanting to live on the bleeding edge with ICS4 on this old-timer (yes I've heard it runs but with bugs), so if I can, I'll go for a plain vanilla Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I downloaded 2.3.3 from here and renamed it update.zip and put it in the root of my SD card. I shut the phone down and then followed the instructions I found here.
It seemed like it would be easy, but I'm getting this error after choosing "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After the error I show two screenshots of how I got to that point.

For anyone with the same issue, you could have posted the solution here.Dont promote other sites.
I think the problem was with the file.
Sometimes the browsers get bugged and they dont download the whole package.
I have had this error a couple of times and re-downloading the rom fixed the solution.

the aokp hasnt been tested yet, it could be a problem w/the website, androidfilehost is known to have issues where it'll say something like, "file does not exist"

Good Evening, this is Jared631 (Also known as RainbowDashDC).
As you might know, I'm the developer of the LG Vortex Utility (http://androidforums.com/vortex-all...ot-recov-lg-vortex-utility-linux-windows.html).
Anyways, I'm asking your permission to use this ROM and intergrate it into the LG Vortex ROM menu. It'd be a great addition.

ok. first load took long time... to be expected though. Tested and few issues, only phone based though. if you could provide a different GApps zip link, i think it would be perfect.

this needs an update... and even better an aptoid store based zip.

[Q] ROMs with or without Wifi Toggle problem

Hi,
I thought that making a thread with a full list of Roms with the problem of Wifi Toggle Freezing or not would be useful.
I found it in:
CM10 with kernel 3
CM9 with kernel 3
MiniCM9 with kernel 3 (ImmortalYash says it's fixed in b4 but in my Pico was still present, obviously fixed with Garud 2.6 but then u loose Hotspot e USB Mass Storage... ANYWAY A BIG THANKS TO IMMORTAL FOR HIS AWESOME WORK AND ALL OF HIS EFFORTS )
MiniCM10 with kernel 3 (not sure, need ur confirms)
AOKP (present in the versions I tested, need confirms)
Not present in:
Stock ( ) and derivated (Jaggy, Xenon, Ateeq, NextGen, etc)
Evervolv ICS (not sure though!)
Evervolv JB (same as above)
CM9 with Kernel 2.6 (builds from 1 to 12?)
Don't know at all:
Jelly Bean Mini Project (never used that)
I hope this thread is useful to everyone and isn't going to go against any rules!
I hope to have raised a common question!
Namasté

the problem is not present in cm10b6 with garuda kernel
there is fix available for usb problem in garuda kernel
please change the title of this thread. [Q] says you are asking some question. since you are not , i would suggest you remove [Q] and make it list

Any Rom with kernel 2.6 as base doesn't have the problem..as you said, those with kernel 3 yash has claimed to have fixed the problem.

Status 0 error

I'm trying to install SultanXDA's latest ROM (5.23) and I am getting a Status 0 install error. I have the latest EXT4 recovery which is supposed to work with this build. I have no idea what to do.

Which version of 4EXT are you on? Based on experience I'd bet you're on 1.0.0.6 RC1? If yes, you're not on latest. Update to RC2.

I updated to RC2 and it worked. Thank you. If you don't mind, what is the significance of this new feature?

Only that one change that's mentioned in the changelog.
Since with new builds the roms are using a new way of mounting the patitions (or something in that way) we need a recovery which supports that.

I'm late to the party, but for me this usually indicates there is something wrong with the META-INF files. You can just swap them out for a set from an earlier or later build of the same rom and generally that takes care of it since those files are generally old and not updated frequently.
In tihs particular case, I think I do remember one recent Sultan build missing Cyanogenmod files in the META-INF folder.
Edit:
There's me jumping the gun and missing that the original poster was using an old version of 4ext. I'll leave the info here anyway in case it helps someone else.

[Q] CM Torch on AOSP

Every android version since 2.3.6 to 4.4.2 I always took the torch apk from the latest CM nightly, ported on my aosp rom of choice, copied it in system/app, given permissions, rebooted and it worked. With 4.4.3 I tried a bunch of apks (Milestone 6, latest nightly, Milestone 1), no one seem to work with my rom which is pure AOSP. I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this so, if someone has found a working cm torch apk under 4.4.3, could he post it here?
THanks in advance.

Wait for a ROM that has it to update to 4.4.3?

Oh sorry I haven't been clear... I use that torch only for the high brightness option... Other torches like Purity one doesn't even show that option, that's why i use CM's one. It may seem stupid, but when you're looking for your place at cinema it's really helpful

I took the Torch.apk out of the latest CM11 nightly and it works fine on my own build of Carbon 4.4.3, I replaced it in /system/app with the right permissions.
