Download Linda File manager (which allows you to download any file) and download which ever ROM you want. (For hero roms make sure you have the lastest Radio & SPL) Then copy and paste that rom to the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery and flash away!

I got Linda File Manager and I'm about to download the ROM. How do I get it on to the SDCard? And I have another file named Update, do I delete that one?

When you download the rom it automatically goes to /sdcard/download
Yeah if you're not using Cyan1.4 recovery. Cyan1.4 can update from any zip.

Oh well I'm on Cyanogen Recovery Image 1.3.1 so what do I name it to? And also, what's the difference between JACxHero and JACHeroSki and JACHeroSkiLite and everything? Its confusing! And I'm thinking about getting the MiniHeroROM, do I just download the file to the SDCard and Wipe and Flash and that's all or do I have to type stuff into the Console?

Might want to make sure you have your sdcard partitioned for Hero.

I havent used any Hero builds, and I doubt I will. A bird told me that Flash 10 is coming next month to android.
All of the commands should be in the above link.
I would go the CM 1.4 Recovery, so everything in the future is easier to update with the "Any Zip" feature. Just helps to make sure your updating the right file. great for themes etc... no more hassles with renaming stuff.
Astro you can select a file>edit>move then use the up arrow to go back to the root of your sdcard, then menu>edit>paste ... something like that.
Hope this helps.

This link will help answer all of your questions.

i flash this way about 90% make sure u do back up before u flash. case u get get stuck in loop pretty easy flashing to hero. and if don't have radio and spl it maks things harder but u can partition easily from the phone search and u will find it.

Ha! Beat you to the punch lol jk
If you want you can check out the MicroHero build. One of the builds doesnt require the SPL update, just a partitioned sdcard.

From what I read they are pretty fast roms. Theres also the Tiny builds, idk the requirements for those yet.

How to install google addon to a ROM?

Hello, I installed CyanogenMod 5.0 lastnight and the market and a few other applications are not there, im guessing that is the google addon can anyone tell me in detail how to install that? Thanks

You need to flash to ER27 Google add on pack here:

Current link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmmzywtlnjd/gapps-passion-ERE27-2-signed.zip

thanks...How do i flash it?

I would like to know also. I've gone into recovery and added the file to the SD card than tried to run it, only to tell it me it's not a zip. So I renamed it and also tried compressing it as zip(just to make sure) and I get an error.
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Download the add on from that page listed, place it on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery, flash it in recovery (the same way you flashed the ROM, but do not wipe), then reboot your phone.

That is exactly what I did. I sent a pm w/ more details. I tried covering all grounds just to make sure if one failed the other one would'nt.
Edit: Should USB debugging be on/off? Don't know if that makes a difference
Edit: Figured it out. Everytime i would downlad the file on my mac it would not be a .zip file so renaming it and compressing it did nothing. I downloaded it on my pc and voila, it works fine..weird...

This is because you enable auto open files in Safari. The actual zip file is in your Trash lol.
To disable it (and u should), open Preferences > General > Uncheck Open "safe" file after downloading

How to install the Google Addon?
You have to change the name of the file (ex: "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip") to "update.zip". Move it to your SDcard and then install from recovery.

You don't need to be in "Debuggin mode", neither to rename to "update.zip".. Just use ROM manager provided by cyanogenmod and go wiki :

Hello Dacid1171,
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.0, with no google apps of course.
I used gapps-gb-20110307-signed pack, went to recovery and chose "Install from SD card", just like I would if I was flashing new ROM.
After that the phone wouldn't book. Logo of cyanogenmod would appear with the circular arrow moving around it, after 3 round it stops and restarts all over.
It was kept that way for a very long time hoping that the phone will come to life. It wouldn't.
What did I do wrong?

Try flashing it again but this time clear cache and dalvik cache.
Flash cm7 rom again follow by the gapps than reboot.

[Q] No Market on Custom ROM

Hi,
I have just rooted my phone and Indigo Bean is first ROM I have flashed. I have to say I am really impressed with the speed of the device and the it also looks cool to boot. So big up, thanks for all your hard work.
One thing I cant get my head around though is that there is no 'market' app available? I also tried Azure, which loaded ok and worked a treat but there was also no 'market' app available. Am I missing something? I read something about flashing google apps but cant find anything specific to the HTC Legend.
Thanks guys..

You need to install Google Apps. Download the zip gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip (search the forums). flash the rom, then without wiping flash again with this zip.

Ok, sorry, but I'm not that technical tbh. Have you a link to working instructions etc.
From what I can gather, you are asking me to download that zip file. Then save it the root directory of my SD card. Then reboot into recovery mode and select flash from SD card. then I select the .zip file from the menu and reboot?
Sorry for the noobness, still getting my head around all of this.

If you would read the threads about those two roms you would learn that you need to flash two different files. First the Rom and then the file containing Google apps.

the file can be downloaded here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip (just google it!)
And yes, flash your rom, enter recovery again (using rom manager), flash zip from sd card, choose the google apps zip (the one you googled above) and flash. Not that difficult!

[Q] What does "apply sdcard:update.zip" do?

If I am in recovery mode, what will "apply sdcard:update.zip" actually do if selected, will I lose any data?

It runs the update.zip file found in /sdcard/ Its so you can update things like roms/kernels/whatever that can't be updated while system is running. You don't really need to use it unless you mod/root your phone

Thanks ickyboo I downloaded AudioBooster 2 and it prompts me to do that, just needed to know the implications or in this case there aren't any
Oooohhhh, my 100th Post...

does this mean this was made so that we can root?
why would they do that?

Short term,it's your cwm recovery
It has nothing to do with your root,but it need root to run

Apparently I don't have an "update.zip" file on my sdcard. Would it be beneficial to find one and update? I'm running CM10 stable and have re-flashed it a few time over the last month and a half for various reasons.

All apply update.zip means that it will flash the file called update.zip from your SD card. This is opposed to manually finding the file and flashing it. All you have to do is rename the file to update.zip.

The update.zip is not one specific file, it's a file created by various programs or yourself to make it easier to update something in cwm...
Basically, if for example your OS wants to update, it offers to download the update ROM and then rename it update.zip, so you then can just select that option in cwm without looking for the file hidden in some weird unknown folder.
If a program like this Audio whatever thing asks you to update with update.zip, it's likely that it has packaged an update for you that'll benefit or be needed for that program or some of its features.
Be aware that since many apps use this exact same feature to update or add stuff, you have to do it (reboot into cwm and apply) on a one-per-app basis; two apps won't merge their files into one.
Hope that helped

[Q] Make an image from a rom

Hello all,
I'm wondering if there's any way of make an image from my phone, with all the softwares and data already installed and configured (just like Macrium Reflect do on Windows). Just like a backup, so if I have any kind of problem, I just have to flash my .zip into the phone again.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried ClockworkModRecovery?

Fruit cake maker is a better solution for your question. Plus if you name the .zip it creates pg58img.zip and place it on your SD card root. Then you don't even need cwm.

I'm installing to test it right now, how can I recover it later without CWM?

just make a backup through CWM menu, it will backup EVERYTHING on your phone and save to clockworkmod/backup/..... in your sdcard. The backup included few .tar files instead of a single .zip, but the result is the same --- you can restore it (overwrite everything) to your phone at anytime.

When you backup with the recovery menu(power+volume button simultaneously pressed until u see the android picture), you will find this backup files either in the EXT SD card or the Internal SD depending the CWM version, in the clockworkmod/backup. All you have to do is to get into recovery mode and restore.....it works perfectly

It worked!
That was just what I needed!
Many thanks for your help guys....
