Your help is appreciated but the way you are explaining isn't really good for new comers.. Or for anyone..
It's like you are writing notes on a fridge sticker you need to give proper details and step by step explanations. Also, very important, you need to proper format your thread.. Use bold, italic, underline.. quote.. you didn't even capitalize the proper words
There are already sticked threads with help. Sure they could be better but not like this.

Wrong section man.... And by the info provided in your links only SGS2 and the Galaxy Tab supports Kies Air....
EDIT : Yes. This works on my Mini with CM7 RC3 . The interface has some bugs. But it works

please check, think, or preview before posting something
if i'm not wrong too, kies only supports stock rom, right?

See this Kies runs from your Phone So there's no need to have stock ROM

nice share but still wrong section haha.

guys its mention there that it works for only those two devices, but tadaaaaaa, it works for our phone also, i know its a wrong section but its something really cool and even helpful for many of us who are using custom rom

hmm i should try it

I once had that error..
you need to make sure all drivers are installed.
when i got that error, a new hardware prompt came up and asked me to install drivers, a couple different usb/cdma and an omap prompt if i do recall.
you should be able to find the drivers in the guide to install the kdz
or check the lg site
hope this helps!

whatch the video from xda when u sign up... u just got answered with something is already answered... you just gotta look U.U

To be honest i'm not super skilled with all the updating and stuff, but when I updated my phone I did a live chat with one of LG's reps, stepped me right through it. It was surprisingly helpful considering how disappointing their support of the phone has been so far. But the devs on here have been awesome too, I've found all my answers just searching through the forums like the guys before me said

How hard is it?
I would really like to become an Android Developer. Have a some noob questions...
I cut my android teeth on a Samsung Infuse <-Learned to root & flash get hooked on seeing what amazing things my little smartphone could do.
I most recently upgraded my phone to the LG Optimus G.
1st Question maybe a no brainer ... Should I learn to develop for my now unused Infuse or jump straight to the LGOG? I think I know the answer duh... why mess up my good working phone.
I have some knowledge of Linux witch I think will help. Should I learn to develop on a Windows computer or Linux? I am leaning toward the Linux.
Another reason to start with the Samsung is I think source is available and many other ROMs already exist so getting help from these devs may be easier and the only source available from the LG is ICS and everyone seems to want JB.
Looking forward to learning more and getting started.
swub1

1.I'd start with the infuse if you mess something up you still have your new phone
2.If your just theming and messing with already built ROMs and stuff windows is perfered if you want to build from source you will need a 64bit Linux system Ubuntu is nice and can be installed along side windows so that's nice
There is a lot of info in the xda community and learning to build can be fun and agrovating at the same time good luck with it

I also have a question:
How do I include a kernel into the zip of a rom so that when I flash the rom the kernel also gets flashed at the same time.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 with XXLSJ.
Thanks in advanced....

Ahhh. Damn. I believe it's pretty easy. With HTC devices though.. it's gotta be somewhere on the section though. Check XDA Uni. They probably have an answer. Please hit the thanks button. Trying to get more. People can't be bothered to click it these days.

if you open the .zip file for your rom it should have a zimage file that is the kernel so if you want to swap just download a flashable zip of the kernel you want open it and there should be zimage, now put that zimage with the rom you want. you can do this with 7zip just double click to open dont extract the rom zip you can extract the kernel from the the kernel .zip and drag the zimage for th ekernel you want to the opened rom.zip then close and flash

This is why people brick their devices when people that has no idea what their talking about give advice! First of all the kernel in a ROM comes as a boot.img and second you can't just switch out the zimage when their is more than the zimage for it to probably work. You need the modules as well... I would recommend you not give advice unless u either know 100% of what your talking about or don't give advice in these specific forums where noobs lurk and don't know good advice from bad....
Now to answer your question...
You have 2 options if your kernel comes as a boot.img just replace it with the one from the ROM and replace lib/modules from the kernel to the rom, and flash away...
The second option is if your kernel comes in a zimage and the ROM comes as a boot.img then you will have to unpack the boot.img from the rom and then replace the zimage and pack the boot.img but to do that you will need to be in Linux or VirtualBox... This can't be done thru windows, but recently there have been programs that can unpack the boot.img thru windows but I always use Linux.
So post how your kernel comes in either a boot.img or zimage and how the room has its kernel we can help u more after that.

Ah okay then just replace the zimage in the rom with the one from the kernel as well as the libs/modules or u will lose WiFi etc & Flash...

I do apologize I've personally never seen a rom come with a zimage before I've always seen it come already as a boot.img. so I apologize to the previous member I ranted about.

[GUIDE].. NOOB FRIENDLY..flashing boot Animation....

Hi U Hey guys so I was thinking that many people aka noobs don't even know how to change the Boot animation....... So we'll I can understand their feeling that there is such a really low amount of guides for this topic....... I was a noob like them once and have many things to help them.......
STEP 1:
Well first u would need a custom boot Animation of ur choice and with the same width and height for your device..... If u want one check this XDA page
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...XmVXj6EAP_zGR96tA&sig2=XEvJfMYaWTWv8fO8SCZTCg
STEP 2
Then u would need root browser apk which is available in the play store.....
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...EVfQGdejmbcfqwXfw&sig2=nn0P-rn2hT78Z4OvlC3KmA
STEP 3
Move the Boot animation zip file to system/media and place it der..(in root browser of course) and then hold ur finger der
STEP 4:
Scroll and select permission
STEP 5:
Do what is present on the first pic
Then reboot ur phone and see the magic happen... Isn't it easy well it can be made easier!!!!!!!
ANOTHER METHOD:
Download an app which is available in the play store called boot Animation which installs the Boot animation automatically....... Well here u go..... So more pics will help u so I will post them and guys this was my first guide will be taking out another one on how to make a boot Animation so pls help me if I have gone wrong..........
Pics for boot Animation app (2 and third pic)
Link :
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...NKGSzAeM35feGF2OQ&sig2=FkvErgsRzgz65Hr3EKEPGQ
I ain't a professional so pls guide me if I am wrong in this guide or stuff
I
.... I won't be responsible for bricked phones or dead SD cards or thermonuclear war
Just post ur questions below.........

Thanks for wanting to contribute, but there some issues with your guide. here are some tips
1. Make it instruction like. use steps (1,2,3..)
2. Give at least a link to the app if you are suggesting it
3. Maybe you could try getting the links from the images and show them below the steps, having to click attachments is not really handy
4. Don't use "dem" or "der" please. we no talk liek dis u no
If you want to know more about this subject, find this out for your own sake of curiousity
- How to preview a bootanimation that you just pushed without rebooting phone
- How to push it with adb

With Nexus 7 devices and possibly other devices, there is no need to put the bootanimation.zip into /system/media, you can just place it into /data/local, it will override the one in /system/media, it is the proper way to do it, no need to mount system r/w, etc.

K using root browser right cause how will u set the permission then?????
