[Q] installing a custom ROM?

So i've been looking all over the development forum.. and i can't find any instructions to install a rom, the only so-called instructions i found was "Use xRecovery" herp derp.. =/
I have the "2.3.2 CM Legend 31 v0.3" one
I have everything working, Root explorer.. xrecovery.. BusyBox
absolutely everything, i tried extracting the cm7-0.3.rar and compressing it into an update.zip for it to work on xRecovery, but it still wont work.
The files inside the rom are: system.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5.
This is what it shows when i try to install it
-- Install from SD card...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing Update...
And then it quickly closes and goes back to the main menu..
Any help would be appreciated.

you need to follow these instructions-
1. Extract the downloaded ROM.
2. Ensure there are 4 files in a folder(name it as you wish, or you can simply take the extracted folder!).
3. Make a folder in your SD card with name "xrecovery"(without quotes)
4. Make a sub-folder "backup"(without quotes)
5. Place the folder in the backup folder( /sdcard/xrecovery/backup)
6. Boot into xRecovery.
7. Goto Backup and Restore.
8. Goto Restore.
9. There you will see your folder name.
10. Just select and press Yes.
Done!
Cheers!

why yes i did, EPIC FAIL.. lol
I assume im going to need to put my official ROM on the SD card again with a memory reader?
EDIT: Disregard that.. used flashtool to go back to 1.6, no problems now.

i installed 2.3.2 CM Legend 31 v0.3 and it works ok for me.
after a while, it says "Login to Google Talk failed, check if you have chat
available"
i know this is not the problem of this rom.
i google the message, and find other roms may have the same problem.
but this message is annoying.
dose anyone know the solution??
thank you for my bad english.

Can't view online flash videos, iplayer, m.tvcatchup... HELP!

HEY GUYS
im using mdj's desire hd 4.6 rom and having issues view most online videos. I really wanna watch my futy on it but the sound works and screen stays blank. Help please

i have a similar problem
I can't view any online flash videos either. But when I try the browser just completely shuts down. No force close message just shutdown. Core cell Rom

@ kev
You need to download an older version of flash and install it or download the newest version off the marketplace and install it, search and you'll find em.
@n33dy
Never encountered your problem before. As in the screen is blank as if it was in standby? Or does it keep on one particular frame of the video and not move, but sound keeps playing, and the device doesn't respond?
If it's the latter, it is that you've run out of RAM and need to free it up by either closing some apps, or you can soft reset your device.
Or you could just try a different rom and maybe you won't have the problem anymore.

yes make sure you have adobe flash player installed from the android market!

Iv got the latest version of flash on already...

how did you get it working

I copied the system files into my root system folder... makesure superuser is granted to root explorer.
Step by step,
Open root explorer
Find your downloaded files and copy the files from the 'lib' folder.
goto your root folders and open the lib folder which is inside the system folder.
Paste the files there, this will replace the existing files.
Now go back to your downloaded files and copy the one form the etc folder.
Go back to root, system open etc and then paste that 1 file.
Reboot and it should be running now.

[HOWTO] Install the new market 3.4.4 in your rom beta ICS

How we know we can find in xda the new market 3.4.4, and if you want put it in your rom ICS you need to do this if you can't install it as a normal apk:
The first thing you need to have Root Explorer
Download / Put the market in the SGS in the folder Download
Now we go in system/app and move the file Vending.apk in sdcard (root explorer must be in Mount R/O)
We come back in data/dalvik-cache and look for the file [email protected]@[email protected] and put it in sdcard, too
Now take the new market that you have in the folder Download (rename in Vending.apk) and move it in system/app
Press for a few seconds the file vending.apk
Select the option Permissions
Select / check the 3 boxes Read and the box write / Owner, the other boxes must be uncheck
Turn off your SGS
Now turn on your SGS and you have your new market working

Actually, u can just install like a normal apk... -.-
Anyway, thanks for ur kindness...

With the onecosmic's ICS you can't install it as a normal apk

Thanks, worked perfectly on a i9000 with Beta 2.5.5 based on onecosmic's.

Thanks for sharing~ that helpful.

Thank you!

Thanks but can install as a normal app on Gingerbread.

[ROM Release] Kiss4Droid (Based on B572G)

This is the 1st ROM I developed/cooked
It is based on official B572G Release so it's Gingerbread 2.3.5
The ROM follows a K.I.S.S philosophy trying to have almost no extra apps installed so you can build your system around your needs
Let's see what changed:
Changes:
1) Changed Default Launcher to Zeam
2) Removed a lot of apps from Huawei and left only the essential ones(install everything else you need from PlayStore or by installing apk files from other roms)
3) Changed Default CPU Governor to SmartAssV2
4) updated hosts file(no more ads) and gps.conf (for europe usage)
5) Added Volume Rocker Wake
6) Unlocked FPS & Root Permissions(of course )
7) Removed some audio files from the media folder to save space
8) Added init.d & build.prop tweaks(some of them may not work,but they don't have any side effect in the system so I left them there on purpose)
9) Changed Camera & Settings Icon to look like ICS (thanks to Pikachukaki for his great guide in replacing .png files in apk files)
10) Patched libsqlite.so
11) HDR function enabled on camera(well this actually is included in number 8 cuz it's a build.prop tweak )
12) Fast Boot Option is removed (again a build.prop tweak)
I have also made some little tricks here and there in the cust.img so make sure before flashing the ROM that you have a working backup and/or a backup of the cust.img
I edited the cust.img and removed all extra apps and module files there,and also changed the default language to english because without this the ROM would boot the 1st time in chinese
If you don't want to flash my cust.img that is in the .zip file simpy delete it from there
If you flashed and you want your old cust.img back simply boot into pink screen and replace it with you cust.img backup
There is no side effect from the cust.img change except that you will lose swype,huawei ime(I prefer the basic android keyboard anyways) and also the Totem Weather Widget
Installation:
Do the following in any order
-------------------------------------------------
Wipe data/factory reset
Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
Mounts & Storage-> Format system
--------------------------------------------------
Now flash the .zip file
Reboot
Enjoy!
Everything is working in this ROM (because it's based on official B572) except TV-OUT of course
Anyway.Tell me what you think of my 1st work on android.
Happy Flashing

Nice ROM. Keep It Up. Post Some Screenshots If You Can.

Thanks.
Screenshoots added!
Note that the screenshoot app and es file explorer that you see in the 2nd image aren't present when you first install the ROM.You have to install them from play store

That's great. thanks for share.

Nice work..you manage to edit the cust.img??nice!!!i was bored to install linux!!

Modding the cust.img wasn't hard actually.
Btw pikachukaki,again thanks a lot for helping with my first updater-script issues!

hmmm. That is a personal opinion. I like cm7 more due to the power widget,screen on/off animation etc
But if someone wants an official huawei gingerbread ROM(official for U8800+, not a port from honor e.g kalo) then this should be a good choice.

Can you fix your Release? (CyanogenMod 7.2 (By Moihack)
And there are no such things:
1. GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
2. GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
3. Gmail
To put it all in, as you should be?
And post it back here!
Please!
And if you can try to put this App inside if you can of course!!! Sound recorder from MIUI...looks like old tape
Thanks in advance!

[Q] build.prop HEEEEELP

To mods. I have posted the same message in "Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [GUIDE] How to edit build.prop on any Android device!". Please handle it as you wish. Sorry for the double post.
Hi all!
I have a Nexus 4 running on PAC (Android 4.2.2).
I have edited the build.prop file (so that it shows as a Note2, and it worked just fine), but before that I had taken a copy of the original one in one file (lets call it copyNexus...but the name is still build.prop), and a copy of the edited file (lets call it copyNote...still same name).
I used the edited file for some time, but now I wanted it reverted back to the original settings.
Once I set copyNexus in /system/ and overwrote the edited file, I rebooted my phone and after the Google logo it just goes blank.
I booted through TWRP recovery to set it back to copyNote through the file manager, but still the problem is the same.
Any suggestions?
Would an installation of PAC fix it?
It is crucial that I do not format everything as I 1st need a backup (I know. Bad thing that I thought this AFTER the catastrophe...)
Thanks!

Extract the original copy from the .zip file and save it on the root of your sd card. Then download aroma file manager and delete the build.prop and copy over the one you've just extracted. If that doesn't work, take a nandroid and flash the original rom and gapps without wiping cache or dalvik or anything else. If that doesn't work, you'll have to start again from scratch
