Moto backflip 2.3

the title says it all. but i need some help. like a huuuge favor from someone. i been trying for hours and hours trying to get the password to show for the GApps zip file and its just not showing for me. so i was wondering if someone would be really generous as to try and get the password to show by doing the whole survey thing and then possibly sending me the password or a link to download the GApps with the password already entered into the locked zip file. all i need is the GApps for Gingerbread 2.3.4 – Motorola Backflip zip file. if someone can do this for me, id really really appreciate it. the link is down below.

DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU XD
Hi

This thread is for all you people new to the atrix 2
it is a simple way to view all that we have in store for customizing the a2.......:d

The problem with this kind of thread is that it is rare that the people that need it spelled out for them like this won't bother taking the time to read them. Good effort though.

u have missed something in OP .... u forgot to put CM10 on list ....
as i know..., we will got the official one soon... :laugh:
btw ..., nice thread for noob ... :good:

I put up this thread to help all those noobs who keep posting what should i do which ROM should i download my Ctd.bin file error when i flash RSD
this is to simplify it for all of them
And i noticed our A2 doesnt have a list of ROM's and an index page so i think it will be useful to everyone
as it covers a wide range of problems
Although its a WIP ill keep adding more tips and other ROM's it will be easier to access all the links in one page rather than searching
all the forums for the correct one......
Just a thread to Help everyone and show our appreciation to the DEV's who made it all happen....

Or simply tell them to read over the development section. This forum has always had a problem with repetitive questions. Encouraging others to read and educate themselves can help to resolve some (but not all) of that. I'm not saying that you were wrong in posting this thread, just don't be surprised or discouraged when it inevitably gets ignored by those who would benefit the most from it.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Make sure that it is not capitalized. If you want to see the exact name that the system is looking for then open the zip, find the file named desc.txt and open it in a text editor/viewer. You'll see a line that looks like:
s droidhd.ogg
The "s" means that the animation will use a sound and what follows is what the name of the sound is. Then just make sure that the bootanimation.zip and the audio file are both in /system/media with the correct permissions, etc.
As far as getting it running on jb. I haven't found anything that seems to work. From what I've read, it seems as though it might have to be supported by the ROM and/or kernel. But I'm not positive of that.

There is nothing like the perfect ROM its the dev's who put in the hardwork to make it possible
So please don't say this is the perfect ROM etc...
Each ROM is unique in its own way and everyone has their own perfect ROM that suits them........
So keep flashing all the amazing ROM's we have and choose what best suits your needs......:silly:

This is probably a dumb question, and I'm sure there's a thread about it that I couldn't find, but to install a custom kernel would you just go into BMM recovery and install zip like with the ROM, GApps, etc.? And if so, any extra steps to take to install it without having to like reflash the ROM and losing all my ****?

Recovery/Twrp/CWM/ for galaxy tab 4 8.0 (t330nu)

Hi i have recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and am looking into building a Deodex Rom for the device.
The issue is i have not been able to find anywhere on the forum a custom recovery of any kind for this device. I have tried a few versions for other devices such as the Tab3 8.0 and Tab4 7.0 but each time i could not boot into recovery, brought me back to download mode.
My main question and concern is lack of support for this device and i would like to start contributing.
Is there a CWM or TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330NU)?
If not how can we get one started?
Really want to finish making my custom rom, have all my files Deodexed and ready to go.
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 22:
Source file has been found for this device. If we work together we should be able to FINALLY get a recovery for the Tab 4 8.0 T330nu. If anyone has any useful information or resources to help along the way please feel free to contribute.
SOURCE FOR GALAXY TAB 4 8.0 T330NU (DOWNLOAD USING GOOGLE CHROME ONLY)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T330nu
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 23:
Recovery should be in the making for the T330NU variant plus 2 or 3 other variants all in due time so please be patient and let us all work together.
Custom Roms could be on the new horizon to fallow you never know ?
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 26:
Boot.img and recovery.img files dumped from Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.
Boot.img dumped from device T330NU:

Recovery.img dumped from device T330NU:
http://www.4shared.com/file/mSkFIM0Bce/recovery.html

I was under the assumption that the source files come from open source.Samsung.com, of which all three Tab4 models are represented

Seeing as how our tablet has the Snapdragon 400 chipset, same as in some popular Motorola phones and the like, there is pre-existing development that could benefit us, not to mention the relative ease of Qualcomm developing.

I'm just wondering tho it's a bit off topic but only for a brief moment. I have deodexed files I want to replace from the stock Samsung Rom.
My question is do you know any good programs for extracting and recompiling a stock Rom for recovery install after I have modded and replaced files?
Would prefer to compile the Rom on the computer and have the option to make changes and compile a Rom on the phone/tablet itself. As I said I know this is slightly off topic from the recovery but on the other hand after recovery comes the roms and tweaks. I have a file on standby to deodex stock Rom for t330nu.i have been doing research on programs and ways to do it just figured could get a quick tip or flash of insight.

Discovered "Tickle My Android" should help for the most part

Just want to check in. Still nothing for us yet. I don't want to push the guys since they are doing this purely as favors since they don't have the devices. I am keeping in touch with them however. Also I pmd @Dees_Troy but haven't heard back there either. One of my buddy's is a friend of his and said he usually won't make a recovery for a device he doesn't have but if a recovery is made and proven working, he will make it official which means more support.

[Completed] The not-so-much-talked-about rom: Miui (themes, reverts back to default theme)

Hola guys. To all of you. Particularly the ones who are familiar with MIUI. I will just stick to the point. If you ARE familiar with miui then you must have come across those flashy themes. You must also have found out the way to bypass the infamous theme policy WSM tools and Xposed and all. But I recently started taking interest in those flashy themes. You know that once you download a theme from the default Themes app the mtz file starts getting downloaded and as soon as the downloading has finished it gets unpacked into bits (com.android.contacts, com.miui.home, icons, lock_wallpaper, locksreen and so on) and gets copied to the MIUI folder in main storage and again into data/system/theme. This is the first problem. I can't copy the whole mtz file to a safe place because it gets unpacked as soon as it has been downloaded which is basically a zip file containing several other zip files that is, the 'bits' I was talking about. Second thing. the default themes app does not recognize mtz files downloaded from the official miui themes website. It declares them as third party themes. What I did was, took some of those 'bits' and replaced some XML files inside them and some png elements and put them back into data/system/theme. But miui has a way to prevent this from happening. As soon as it detects a modified file present in data/system/theme it reverts back to the default plain theme by deleting all files from data/system/theme. My guess is it keeps checking out verifying in regular intervals the checksums that it must have generated earlier. The same thing happens if I just replace a bit in the mentioned directory with a bit from another theme. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to preserve the mtz file downloaded from within the default Themes app as a whole mtz file?
2. Can I make changes to just the Themes app so that it would apply any mtz file?
3. Is there a way to prevent miui from continuously checking or verifying the checksums that it has generated? (just a guess but I reckon thats what it actually does) because for an hour or so after replacing or modifying the 'bits' everything works fine but the reverting process takes place in an hour or so.
Thats all folks! jk. Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated because I think a thread like this was long since needed here. And dont talk about visiting MIUI's official forums. Most of the guys there don't know half the things that is really worth discussing. Thank you guys.
note- dont want to use WSM tools nor can I find one for miui7.
note2- if I change the permissions of the folder (data/system/theme) to 444 allowing READ permissions only, the phone would just reboot without warning and continue to reboot until the permissions are changed back to normal (755).

No one?

I am starting to feel MIUI is really not so popular here on XDA. Blimey after about a hundred views not a single reply, let alone helpful ones. Anyway I will leave the thread as it is just in case somebody who had the same problem and found a workaround, sees the post.
