Just this past week I got a system update for my GS4......if I'm rooted and have a ROM from negalite should I ignore this update? How can I delete it.
Would it help the phone or hurt it????

Try using a root explorer and go into your device and change your otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak, this file is found in the device etc security. This tricks the update into thinking you have the latest and it wont update.
Edit:
Here is a step by step guide (please give props to @chzeckmate)
1. First be sure you have superuser access (root access). You can use a root checker like this one to be sure
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ootcheck&hl=en
2. Download and install ES File explorer. You can get that here...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.pop&hl=en
3. Open ES File explorer and grant root permission. Go into settings and set your preferences
4. Tap your device menu
5. Tap Tools
6. Tap root explorer.
7. The root explorer menu will pop up and you'll tap Mount R/W
8. Fill in all the bubbles for RW and tap OK
9. Navigate to the root of your device (At the Top you'll see the root directory is listed as "Device" or "/")
10. Tap the File named "etc"
11. Tap the File named "security"
12. Long press on the otacerts.zip until the check box appears and put a check in it.
13. Tap more
14. Tap properties
15. Place check marks in the read and write boxes and Tap ok
16. Tap rename (on the bottom action bar)
17. Rename the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.bak and tap ok
18. Tap refresh (bottom action bar)
19. Pull down the notification curtain and accept the update. *Some devices reboot here. (if the notice isn't in your notification bar just go on to the next step)
20. On your homescreen open your device menu and Tap system settings.
21. Scroll to and select System update.
22. Tap Update firmware.

Hi, i have rooted my kindle fire recently ( i had to do it manually because the KFU failed to root it) and installed the google framework and google play APK's manually.
but whenever i try to purchase an app, it force closes. and then it force closes every time after that when i try to open it again. when i go to clear the app data for it it will open again, but will still force close when i try to download an app
i also tried to install the app market version 3.4.4, but that always force closed as soon as i tried to open it
maybe i didnt root it right or maybe its not even rooted? how can you tell if its rooted properly. it als wont let me push anything to /system/. it says its read only or something
Edit: nevermind, i solved it. i had to put the kindle into recovery mode, mount /system/ using clockwork recovery, and then push the vendor.apk and install it while still in clockwork recovery
A little more detail please

I have the same thing going on. Can you elaborate a little more. How did you push it while in recovery? Did you have to make it a zip? I can only find zip files to open and since it isn't a zip I can't find another way to open the file.
Thanks in advance.

I was using the Stock rooted. I followed the first part of the thread and it didn't work for me so I followed the second part and this is were I get lost:
8 - Under "Path settings" Check the box "Up to Root"
9 - Under "Root settings" Check the box "Root Explorer" Tap "yes" on the popup and tap "allow" on the super user window.
10 - Under "Root settings" check "Mount File System"
11 - now your ready to copy the files. Tap back to go back to the sdcard. Tap "Select" on the top toolbar. Select by taping the three .apks you copied over. Once all three are selected Tap "Copy" on the top toolbar
12 - Tap "Up" on top toolbar. Tap "system". Tap "app" and Finally tap "Paste" on top toolbar.
13 - Reboot your kindle and you should now have the Market working on your kindle.
Root Explorer is not there? hmmm, I must be missing something.
in es file explorer -> settings -> scroll down to the section root options ->
first point is root-explorer -> second point is something with file system -> check both

Assuming you have es file explorer installed just do what b63 said so file explorer will have write permissions on the kindle and drag and drop those 3 apks that were in that link 2nd page into the system/app folder and than reboot.... dont try to install them or anything like that just drop them in the app folder and reboot
Thanks guys I got it. I should have made my name NoobCake. What I was missing was....
I didn't understand that I needed to hit the little system folder next to the back arrow at the bottom of the Kindle to check the Root boxes. Once I found that it went great and Market is working good.
I really appreciate your help and to have it so fast is awesome. You guys ROCK!
i have rooted my phone b518 gingerbread.
now i want to install clock work mod recovery.
i have installed es explorer and remount app.
now please tell me detailed steps ( i am new) to install cwm. tell in detail which app should i open and then what selections should i make.(e.g i cant understand how to use remount, and i dont know how to ".cust_backup/image as RW".
please tell me the exact detailed steps.
i have downloaded recovery.img from this link
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377390"
thanks,
First, copy your recovery.img to your sdcard.
Ok. Open remount. Then from the list of folders, select the one that says '/.cust_backup'. Make sure you have chosen 'rw' in the second list of options. After that, press the Remount button at the top of the remount application. If it is your first time, it will ask for superuser permissions. Press 'Allow'.
Open es file explorer and go to its settings. Make sure that the checkbox for 'Up to Root' is ticked. Then, still in the options, go to the third option from the top, and you would see more options. Now tick the option that says 'Show Hidden Files' (or something like that). Now get out of the options and back into es file explorer. Now, you should see your sdcard files. Navigate to where you have placed your recovery.img. Long press on recovery.img and options should appear. Select Copy. Then keep pressing back until you are back to the root of your sdcard. Now go back once more and you should be in the root of your phone. Now, you should see a folder called '.cust_backup' (in fact it should be the first folder). Go into this folder. There should be another folder inside .cust_backup called 'image' (I think). Go into this image folder. Now there should be an option called 'Paste'. This will paste the recovery.img you copied earlier. If it asks to replace a file then press Yes.
Congrats! You just installed cwm recovery! You can go into your recovery by powering off your phone and then powering it on with the power button and the volume up button at the same time until you see the recovery.
If you have any problems then tell me about them here.
Alright all you legacy device lovers, lol, go get your HTC Mytouch 3G devices (probably all sapphire devices, haven't tried on others) that are stuck on that annoyingly persistent Google Sign-In screen outta of the junk drawer and get ready to get some use out of it. I've really only seen a few solutions, touching the four corners, lol, really? never seen that work but its everywhere so it must have at some point, and some other vague or ineffective methods. I have done this over and over just to make sure it wasn't some sorta fluke or lucky button press. That being said i no longer have the devices cause i was unlocking it for a friend that used too many wrong pin codes, so if you see some mistakes, plz let me know.
But first, let me cover my a**, lol
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICK, BROKEN, EXPLODING, OR TRANSFORMING DEVICES.
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE HENCEFORTH INFORMED.
LMAO, Alright now that's over with. I can say that, although seemingly complicated, if you mess this up then you should have left it in the junk drawer cause its pretty hard to mess it up. I will also include the steps taken to get custom recovery and cm6 on the device as well. The main thing is getting the right files.
It was running Android 1.6.
View attachment 2167592
These are the files you will need:
1.Rom Manager 2.5.0.4
2.Universal AndRoot 1.5.3
3.Root Explorer
4.Terminal Emulator
5.My html hack.View attachment html_hack.zipl
6.Cyanogenmod 6.1
7.Gapps zip
Put all these files at the root of your sdcard, extract html_hack.zip to the root of the sdcard and insert into phone..Also add at least one picture to the DCIM/Camera folder.

8.The gallery will come up, press the menu button and touch Capture Image.
9.When the camera app opens, click the gallery shortcut in the top right corner.
10, Long press on any of the images in your gallery and touch Share on the right.
11.Press Messaging from the list that pops up.
12. In the Recipient field press any random 10 digit number and in the text field enter "Google.com"
13. Hit send, of course it will not send and give you some network unavailable message. now click "Google.com" in the message you just attempted to send, which will bring you to the Browser.
14. long press the menu button, and in the text field type "content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/html_hack.html"
15. Now click the Root explorer link and it'll show a warning about unknown sources, click Settings.
16. Touch the Unknown Sources checkbox and while you are there click Development and enable USB Debugging.
17. click back to the web browser and click Root Explorer again and Install.
18. Once installed open Root Explorer.
19. Browse to your sdcard and click the Universal Androot file and install.
20. Once installed open the app, make sure android 1.5/1.6 Superuser is selected and click the Root button.
21. Now click back till you get to the browser again and install Root Explorer again and open.
22. This time though you should see the superuser dialog pop up. Of course click Allow.
23. Again browse to your sdcard and install Terminal Emulator, and open it. Allow superuser.
24. Alright now for the awesome part, in terminal emulator type:
Code:
su
am start -a android.intent.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
Which should open the settings menu.
25. Now navigate to the Wireless menu and enable WIFI and select a WIFI connection.
Thats the bypass. alot of steps right, lol, but it works.
26. Now press the back button all the way back to the "Click the Android to start" screen and procede with activation.
alright Now you are in your phone.
27. Go to the stock Market app and download Busybox by Stephen and install the app. Install busybox from the app.
28. Now go back to root explorer and browse to the sdcard and install Rom Manager. Open it and Allow superuser.
29. now click Install Clockworkmod Recovery and select the appropriate device. This will probably kick you back to the home screen.
30. Open Rom Manager again and reboot into recovery.
31. From CWM Recovery select install zip from sdcard and select the Cyanogenmod 6 zip file. Let this complete then reboot. This will of course take a while.
32. Once booted back up click the android then skip and skip. Then confirm the location stuff.
33. Open Rom Manager again and reboot into recovery and pick install zip from sdcard and select the gapps zip and install.
34 Once it's finished, reboot and you are all set. Root, Busybox, CWM Recovery and cm6 with google apps is yours. Congrats.

Nice tutorial but unfortunately "erase system" isn't working for me. I am on windows and I'm also giving a space as well before hitting enter. It does shoes my phone's serial number which means its connected properly. Any solution to this problem, thanks in advance, cheers.
No fast charging on these roms, I don't even know how we can use them every day
Not all GSIs have this function and even when we manage to add it (by flashing Lineage OS19 which has it), we manage to display the fast charge and even the charging power in real time, we do display a charge fast, but loads horribly slow ^^'
In short, go your way for all PixelExperience / GSI roms
I am desperately looking for a Pixel/AOSP based rom on this model, nothing to do, none of these roms work properly
Lineage has a rotten network, PixelExperience/CrDroid GSI have no fast charging, nothing helps, impossible to use it like that
Not to mention the cameras that are unusable under AOSP/Pixel (and don't talk to me about the compatible Gcam variants, because they absolutely don't work (yes, if 2 out of 5 cameras don't work, for me the application is not usable )
In short, if you want a Pixel rom, buy a Xiaomi
Ok its installed eventually... lolz, nice rom I'm loving it, in my limited use till now everything seems to be working fine and its blazing fast, thanks for the tutorial, will report back with some more feedback soon, cheers
New link please
