You need to start reading the threads and using the search in this forum.
You should be able to find this in 1 minute:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5413383&postcount=4
If you read the thread you will find that:
1. you download his tools from one of the earlier versions of his rom.
2. Just paste the "extrom.bin" & "flash.bin" from the new rom download and flash.

You mean "new guy". "Gay" is homosexual man. You are right - you need to learn English, so do I.

But, could the size change of these two bin files be the matter of flashing process?
Because my S200 becomes a real brick after flashing, could not be able to enter bootloader mode again, even fail to charge up the battery, then I have to send it back to Acer
Moreover, could S200 flash ROM without PC?

Ques on how to modify a rom without error

I wanted to take a first stab at doing some basic mods to a ROM and signing it as a zip for myself both to learn how to make a rom and to get the rom just the way I like it.
I wanted to take the IC3ROM v2.5 and make some minor changes for personal use. I removed/added some apps and then signed the zip correctly. One of the changes I wanted to make was to remove the DConfig app. I tried to install it onto my Hero, but got some error about "Unverified" and "DConfig app missing".
Is there some file I need to edit to tell it which apps are included/excluded in the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

FYI, I've already read the faqs and searched about 10 times. Seems like the forum here has become too assuming that no one is searching. I do searches before I post a new thread, which I don't do a lot.
FYI, I did find this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711
it seems somehow relevant, but I can't tell what specifically I have to do to remove the aforementioned error I'm getting.

Lots of miscellaneous questions.... Please help

Hi,
After searching around the forums and looking for a few things I have arrived at a few questions...
1. If anyone living in india has flashed Xxkb3 modem along with the xxkb3 rom... can you tell how is it? planning to re flash my phone..
2. Can I use my old modem while flashing a new firmware? Just want to confirm...
3. Skinning swype ? Is it possible? Changing the tracer path colour as shown by tripin is an awesome thing to do!
Aside from a few stock apps like samsung app store, aldiko book reader, calender clock widget, social buzz and layar (not sure of it)
what all other apps can I remove aside from these above mentioned apps..?
though I saw a list once here in the forum but now I am unable to find it...
Please don't shout if these things have already been discussed by you people...
Just clarifying a few doubts...
Thanks a lot....

2. Don't do this. You will take bootloop.

Applications can be removed you can find in this thread
Also I removed Swype and Samsung keyboard. (I'm using Gingerbread keyboard)

[PATCH] Fix Arabic [RTL] on GB 4.5.91

Hello there
I have managed to get fix Arabic on GB 4.5.91, through patching and compiling framework.jar and libwebcore.so.
This will work on every rom that is based on AT&T 4.5.91.
Here is how to patch your phone:
Manually
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download GBArabic.zip attached and extract it on your phone.
3)Now using Root Explorer or any other root file mangers.
Copy framework.jar to /system/framework/ and fix the permissions
Copy libwebcore.so, libicuuc-arabic.so and libandroid_runtime.so to /system/lib/, and fix the permissions
Be sure that you set permission for all, or you will stuck in bootloop.
4) Reboot and enjoy.​
or
CWM Flashable File
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download CWM-Arabic.zip attached and place it on your phone.
3)Boot into the recovery, and flash the file.
4) Reboot and Enjoy ​
p.s.
I am quite new here in the forum. So I couldn't post this on the Dev Forum.

Added CWM zip file

Arabic Files for CherryBlur v1.4d Rom ( it's based on ORFR and not working with At&t)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zd93z9leslz6wtc ... tested by me

Thanks Jack,
Does the Browser and Gmail show Arabic correctly in ORFR?
If it worked, I will update my post.
If not, could try and use my libwebcore.so on your phone, and report back to me?

no it's doesn't support the browser
and sorry I changed the rom and can't test the new files

Successfully Installed - CWM Version
Just flashed the CWM file. Working on Alien ROM.
Works perfectly (RTL needs some alignment "observed in Facebook App only"). Donation is on the way! Extra ordinary work and Cheers!

Glad to hear that, it worked with you.
As for the Facebook App, I can't really help as I do not use the app .
Anyway,
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it.

copied the files manually while half asleep, seems that I've messed up ... was stuck in the boot screen, downloaded the automated installation file, applied it and now it works perfectly !
RTL is still not right in gmail messages, but that's super low priority

What you did wrong the first time, is that you haven't set up the permission, but hey you were half sleep I won't blame you .
I just noticed the alignment of Gmail, and droidace says it happen on Facebook.
It seems that these two apps, use different files to show alignment than the browser.
I will take a look at it.
Thanks for reporting, and hope you enjoy it.

How to donate? - not really much though

Thank you for the extreme generosity, I really appreciate it.
As for now, I really don't need any donations, I'm sure some people may need them.
Thanks very much, though

How did you update to 4.5.91 ? official update, SBF, OTA, other ? I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
how did you root/deodex ?
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Thanks mdd5

Hello Ramy, and welcome.
Since you are new here, I will encourage to take a look at THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!!

Now to answer your questions,
ramy_Maia said:
How did you update to 4.5.91 ?
I did update to 4.5.91, by unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the roms here on dev section, not official.
I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
Everything is safe as long as you follow the guide.
many of the bricks happen here is because people updated to .91 using official then tried sbf to an older version.
When you update using official, you can't flash an older version.
how did you root/deodex ?
As of now, the only way to have root and deodex on .91 is by flashing unofficial ROMs
So you will need to unlock the bootloader and flash one.
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Your question are not dumb, I was just like a couple of weeks ago.
However, it is better to ask questions like this in Atrix 4G Q&A forum, so you get better answers and faster than here. You can also use search

Thanks for the tips, i will go through the links

Alright Good Luck,
Did the new update of facebook fixed that issue?? It seems that it is fixed now.

mdd5,
I picked up your comment on my blog and I wanted to let you know that I added your Atrix GB libwebcore.so to my blog with a special note to you. If you would mind that for any reason, please let me know and I'll remove the link and recompile the sources myself.
Great work. I'm glad to see people using my blog and the sources to get Android arabized

Options of Arabic Fonts
Not really sure if there is an option to change the Arabic fonts? Any ideas?
Awesome work anyway with or without fonts

Thank you for your effort
In Alien Rom, Does it work for Write & Read or full (with menus)?
same question in Cherry Rom.

[Q] Best method to root 6.2.1 if we have not done it prior

I have not rooted prior to 6.2.1 but really want the android market so now I must root. I have a few questions;
I keep seeing something about having to download root explorer from the amazon market to use the new method, would es file explorer work?
Sorry if I'm way off base on any or all of this, I've never rooted anything
I'm tech savvy so i could do it if i had a definitive list of all the progams needed and preferably a video tut of the process. Im seeing a few different ways so im confused as to which way i need to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You seem to have the ability to read and write the English language why don't you go over to the thread where this is being discussed and read the information that is offered and make a decision.

There are tons of threads on this very topic as this is a very hot topic...And in each thread it will tell u what u need to root and etc....Just look up how to root 6.2.1
