On to using it.
1. First you need to make sure its set up for the HTC incredible. Press menu softkey and settings.

6. For this guide im using my "Theme Finisher".
7. Now its time to build so click your zip and the program will start to build it.
8. If it was built correctly you will see a log of what the app did.
9. Now use a file explorer program like root explorer and make sure you know where the zip is. (default location is root of your SD card)
10. If all went well just boot into CWM and flash the zip.

Great writeup bro. Great app and I hope more people start using it, especially after this.

Yes, there is a way !!! if you have root explorer, you can just copy your 'bootanimation.zip' into the data/local/ folder of your phone and set the permissions to 644.
There is an other way, you just have to download this application on google play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simproductions.bachanger&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zaW1wcm9kdWN0aW9ucy5iYWNoYW5nZXIiXQ..

Good guide.

Nice sharing,i didnt know about it
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

I use a simple way:
Open http://web.airdroid.com/ on my web browser on PC and just scan a QR Code with mobile app

Yes that is a simpler way but it is less secure as you can read in the airdroid homepage..

I agree with that, but only if you are using public network. With home network that isn’t problem.

New thing for me...I didn't knew its possible like this

Can't open files from download manager. Nexus 7

Whenever I download a file on my Nexus 7 i.e, pdf ppt pptx doc docx xls xlsx txt and others for which I have applications that are capable of opening; the download manager simply says it Can't open file. I've factory reset my device nly to be back on the same issue. This annoys me to no end. Everytime I download a pdf I have to use a file manager to open it.

My files do open from Downloads using Docs-to-Go for the file types you listed. What suite are you using to open these files otherwise? Even though you have done an fdr, try clearing cache and data for Downloads and your apps for the file types. Perhaps an incorrect app got associated with your files.

were you able to fix this?

Did you manage to fix this?

use a third party browser like dolphin works like magic
celebrating 269 thanks!
My biggest Thank You goes to XDA and all its members! Thanks guys!

I fixed it by resetting Chrome. I believe the downloads get messed up by the 'reduce data usage' setting.

thank you
Thank you for all your help, I just finished installing snote, gallery, camera, and player. I thought I'd try snote mini, but Im not having any success with your link. when I click on it there are several options. Does it matter which one I download? when I put it in the folder and run the file it opens and then says an error caused it to close. I don't use it much, but would like to get it working on my cpu if I can. Thanks again for all your help

Hello. You need all the files and create a shortcut to quicknote.exe. It is very easy.
In GDrive if you select "File", you will see the option to download the .zip with all the files. :good:
