Attempting to download NoChromo-arm32-v51.0.2695.0.apk - General Questions and Answers

I am attempting to download and install the NoChromo-arm32-v51.0.2695.0.apk from the XDA developers website. I can see the name of the apk file and the adjacent associated code line and have "grabbed" them which means copied them but I have not been able to locate the appropriate dialog box to insert the grabbed info and click the install button. I realize there will be no install button but some advice as to the actual procedure I would need to follow in oreder to install and use nochromo would be most appreciated..

[Q] I'm new to this world. How do I install apps from here?

Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but how would I install apps on my T-Mo MyTouch 3G Slide, that are offered on this or any other forum? Do I download them to my PC and first start the installation there, somehow? Or how would I do it??
I'm very new to this whole Android world. I just bought my phone.
Thanx for the help!!
Applications in this forum usually comes in the form of .apk's. An apk is an installer file for Android and must be run from the phone.
So you have two options when you find programs here on this forum:
1. You download the file on your PC, connect the phone to your PC and mount the SD-card, copy the file over and run it from your phone
2. Browse to the forums via your phone and download them directly and run them
It can be done via dropbox, chrome2phone, email etc as well if you want to

THANK YOU!!!!
The file that I download, copy in to any folder (Programs ect...) on to your SD card and run the file from the phone, correct? What is the format of that file needs to be? It won't be an *.exe right? What format do I make sure the correct file is? Is there any other ways? Just asking
Thank You!!
You can put it anywhere on the SD-card, just be sure you have some sort of file manager from the market and remember where you put it After that you just run it and it should install (if you get several options when you run the file, the correct one to run it with is "Package Installer").
The files will be in the format programname.apk

[Q] Need original ROM for HTC Snep S520 Mobilicity

Erased the firmware. Now I can not find the original.
yes, a bunch of us are still waiting for a kind soul to dump the rom of a mobilicity snap.
If you are stuck, you can install the official (signed) firmware for the HTC Maple from Wind at w w w.htc.com /ca/support/maple-wind/downloads/ but you need to make a goldcard to do that.
That's how I unbricked mine, but I want to get back to the mobilicity ROM to start it as a base for tweaking and I can't find it.
Not making a backup was not a very bright move from my part :-(

I do not have a donor.
It is possible to have someone send GoldCard realties in Ukraine.
Accordingly, for the money.
For earlier thanks!
You don't need a donor device, you just need a laptop with an SD card reader.

Thank you, do not get. Wrote that not registered.
I do not want to buy, suddenly will not work.
Made by this method:
Code:
So lets jump straight into the guide:
Format your spare microSD card to FAT32 format.
Put the microSD card in your phone and turn it on, once turned on attach your phone to your PC.
Download an app called GoldCard Helper from the market. Use this to get your mmc cards long number by following the app instructions.
Download the Android SDK
Unzip the sdk to any folder you like (eg My Documents).
Go to start menu > select run and type cmd followed by pressing Enter.
Replacing with the address you unzipped the file to, type >cd \android-sdk-windows\tools. eg cd C:\Users\Home\Documents\android-sdk-windows\tools
Type >adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and press Enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.
Go to this page http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , paste in your number and click Submit. Copy this new number.
Visit this page, enter the new copied number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Save the file attached in the email to your PC.
Download and open the HxD Hex Editor, available for download here ("Run as Administrator" under Vista and win 7).
Go to the Extra menu and select Open Disk. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck Open as Read only and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the Extra menu again and select Open Disk Image. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
Press OK when prompted for Sector Size (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the Edit menu, choose Select All then select the Edit menu again and select Copy.
Click on the Removable Disk tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the Edit menu and select Paste Write.
Click on the File menu and select Save, accepting the warning.
And there you have your new GoldCard. You are now ready to continue onto rooting your phone!
This method failed too.
This has been addressed in other threads. Please post in opened threads.

[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.

Samsung Smart Switch (.md5) download location

Good Morning All,
I am posting this because I couldn't find anything about this on here. For you who are looking on the temp location that Smart Switch creates when downloading the Stock Firmwhere (.md5) file for the Galaxy S6 Edge, for me it was the location below. I am using a sprint Version SM-G925P. not sure if this will apply to you or not, but worth a try. you will need to initiate the download from Smart switch once it starts downloading, you can unplug your phone from the PC (that way your phone doesn't get wiped). After download reaches 100% go to the file location. copy the file rid away and paste it to your desired folder.
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp2953.tmp.zipfolder
hope this helps.
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp\Binary\SM-G920F\
does anyone know if there is any way of changing the default folder to witch Smart Switch downloads the firmware?
looks like my system disk doesn't have enough space for the download and there's really NO WAY I could free any more of it

They don't want you to know where it is, so no.
Just go to the folder mentioned in the OP and search by date. It is usually named "tmpBABC.tmp" when being downloaded. Just find the same file size(around 2GB)

Actually there is a way to change the default download location of the firmware!
You can even change it to a different drive!
follow the steps:
1) Right click on my computer
2)click on properties
3) click on advanced system settings.
4)Click on Environmental Variables.
5)Under Variables, you will observe "TEMP" and "TMP". click on Temp and click EDIT. Change location to desired path. You can even puth a location path of a different drive. does not necessarily ave to be your system installed drive.By default the location is %USERNAME%....... Now repeat the same process for TMP, change location to the same desired path that you have chosen before.
6)OK, apply, Ok
7)Re-boot your computer, laptop (system). This is very important as the changes do not take effect until a re-boot.
8)Voila!! now smart switch will download the firmware to your desired location/path.
Thank me if you found this useful!!
1. Browse to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp
2. In the windows search bar enter "*.md5"
Do this while it is installing

or even better than *.md5 is just to write to search field "ext:.md5" (without quotes ofcourse and "ext:" must be shown in blue color..

Wait for smart switch to decompress it first.

yes, that's a way. but if i have bricked my phone, and all i can do is entering download mode, it won't proceed to decompress it. cuz samsung recently removed emergency reset feature in smart switch. ( i mean, the firmware file can be downloaded by enabling 'latest software predownload', but it won't decompress it until a working phone is connected...)

Sorry for using this old thread, but it matches my intention in some way.
I'd like to update via Smart Switch by placing the downloaded updates to the folder(s) mentionned above.
No matter where I place the files, no joy.
Is there a dedicated name convention I have to follow?
Any suggestion appreciated.

[GUIDE] I will show you how to have multitouch with App Inventor 2

I have seen that there are a lot of questions on how to be able to multi touch in App Inventor 2. As you may know already, App Inventor 2 does not support multitouch natively. But you can use a workaround so that your app will have multitouch capabilities in the final .apk.
This method will work for 2 or more different objects such as 2 buttons, 2 canvases, 2 sliders etc. It will NOT work for the same canvas.
What you need:
1. An App Inventor 2 project with at least 2 buttons, canvas, sliders etc
2. AppToMarket_v32 (the most recent at this moment of posting): https://code.google.com/p/apptomarket/downloads/list
Steps:
1. After you have created your app, build it and save it to your computer in .apk format
2. Download AppToMarket_v32, extract the files from the archive and place it somewhere you will find it easily
3. In the AppToMarket folder, open runMeWindows_v32.bat, This will open a command window that will then open the program.
4. Once you have the app open, enter whatever you want in the Certificate Details tab, then click "Generate"
5. Go to the next tab (De/Re compile and wrap-up), click "Browse" and point the path to your apk, then click "Decompile"
6. In the "Features" menu below, change the "Min SDK Ver" to 5 and "Target SDK Ver" to 11. If you don't want your app to be resized, change the slider to "Normal"
7. Click on the "Update Manifest" and "Create New .apk"
8. DONE! Your new apk is in the same folder as your old one, but with the name changed (apkname_new.apk)
If you want, I can make a youtube video with step-by-step instructions on how to do everithing I said above. Just say it in the comments.
.APK can't be decompiled
I have a problem:
When I press "decompile", I get the error "ERROR: Unable to decompile your .apk file". I tried downloading it again from the App Inventor page, but it gave me the same error over and over again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Are you sure you have generated and saved the certificate details? Try and put other detailes there and click generate, it doesn't matter what you write there as long as you don't plan on selling the app on the market. Also, is your path to the apk file correct?
hi, thanks for the guide, but i have a problem, when i try to install the new apk in my android, i have a error, in the package analisys.
i read that downloading from drive was tha solution but not, i still have the same error, i try to install the apk of app inventor to be sure, and this apk install without problems.
do you have any idea of the solution for this problem?
thanks a lot for your help.
sorry for my english
Hi, sorry for responding late. Try signing the apk after you create it (there is a button which says Sign Apk in the right)
Hi!
I have followed the steps of the guide (thanks for it!), but I had a problem while modifying the SDK version. Using the fields for Min SDK Ver and Target SDK Ver adds nothing to the manifest, so I tried writing it by hand:
I've tried to edit the manifest with AppToMarket as indicated in Gareth's post and other guides I've found, but when I add the line <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion=11 /> AppToMarket gives and error while rebuilding the APK and doesn't create the new file. I added this to the manifest file:
...
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion=5
android:targetSdkVersion=11 />
</manifest>
But when I add this, AppToMarket shows an error while creating the new .apk (no more info, just says there has been an error).
There is another issue. No matter which size I put on the slider, it always resizes my app...
Any idea about why is this happening and how to fix it?
Thank you !

Dear friend,
Thank you for your tutorial. But, can't install the app. "Invalid application, Stop Installation". :crying:
I'm using the "App to Makert V4.0". I can't find the "32 version" , seems "deleted" . My smartphone for test has the android version: 4.1.2 and Kernel 3.4.0.
Thank you.
I have followed the steps of the guide and installed to my smartphone successfully.
But it still can't multitouch two canvas at the same time.
What is the problem may happened?
two canvas
