Hi! Is it possible to flash with recovery gapps.zip in any way? Tried with command file and renaming gapps.zip to update.zip. When i restarted to bootloader, device tried to flash something (saw a progress bar), but nothing happened... Or any way to add gapps.zip files to bin file from amazon?
Sorry for noob Q

And Why am i not able to install google apps from zip? Or any way to execute sh files inside zip?
Because it's a STOCK RECOVERY. Every zip requires a signing code to maintain amazon's security standards. So no tiny zip will work.

Understand about not possible flashing. but what about apk installation or executing sh files from zip?

This is HIGHLY MODIFIED ICS you can't run sh files in a zip manually install you can but otherwise it breakes key programs anyway like contacts (YES I HAVE MANUALLY INSTALLED GAPPS)

Exactly what question says on title. I tried doing it through clockwork recovery, but froze on (installing updates..). Answers would be very much appreciated, thanks.
You have to unzip the file and change icons like that. You can't simply flash the zip. What launcher are u using?

Im using launcherpro right now. I figured that was the method. I went into root explorer and extracted the zip file and extracted all the png files to my extracted folder. But now im stuck on how to save them in my gallery so i custom put them on from launcherpro. But i dont wanna do all that if theres another way.

Use CWM Recovery and install from Zip if it's a CWM flashable
is it possible to restore stock apps in galaxy ote n7000 without resettind it...??
Yes you need root and a tool like root explorer. Just take apks out of rom and place in system apps.
Check that they have same permissions as other apps, rw and such and click them to install. Not sure if they install themselves with a reboot.

Open Root Explorer.
Scroll Down to System/app
You will see all applications there. Just Copy and paste to your external SD Card. When you want to restore just paste them to System/app using root explorer and set permissions as rw-r-r and reboot

Ok, download rom you want to restore from, usually a zip file, unzip it. Then with root explorer navigate to tar. Md5 file and open it, you might need to rename to tar file only, then within that search for a fokder that contains the apk you want, extract them, or copy them outside tar file then to your system app location etc etc

Just keep file pressed when selecting, then menu opsbup and scroll in menu to option permissions. Then select those according to permissions set inother files.
All this in root explorer. Not sure if a fix permissions from cwm recovery fixes this. Never tested it.

You might need to mount system/apps as read write r/w. That is a button on top left of screen when you are in that folder, just set it back when done

I'll teach you how to fish instead of giving it to you.
There is a website called google.com type your query there, together with e.g android, or xda or both, and youre sure to find your answers to almost any question.
Might need to query with different phrases or order of words, sometimes in steps.
Thats how I figured out last time. Sorry I wasnt able to answer stepwise step for step. maybe you make a tutorial with print screens, for future users that have same question
Damn I suck at explaining

Hi friends i've modified contact.apk but i dont know how to sign it. I will be thankfull if someone can do it for me...
Wrong section man, please use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1480
signing is easy than modifying
You do not need to sign it, it is a system app and you cannot install it. Just make a flashable zip and flash it via CWM. If you do not have root, you are out of luck.

Move it to system/app/ and set permissons then reboot

Download the zip in the attachment, open it with 7Zip/Winrar whatever you use, put your Contacts.apk in the system/app folder (watch for the case, the names are case sensitive) and the save the zip. Put it on your SD card, reboot to recovery and flash.

Hi. Is it possible to unflash a zip that can't delete all the file that I flash from the zip?
And can I flash a zip that have apps that is going to be installed into the SD card and not the system?
Help please
no you cannot unflash a zip but you can delete the content of the zip directly from the mobile by going to /system and deleting those files
app 2 zip:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567614
app2zip will create a flashable zip of your installed apps but cannot install them on sdcard

The only way to unflash a zip is by reflashing your ROM and about creating zips there are a few tutorials about that in XDA so make a search.

I meant by making a zip file that can install all the apks into the sdcard as a normal app. I already know how to create a flash zip and i only can flash apks into my system/app/.

Try my backup root the basic concept is the same it creates zips of the apks as backup but unfortunately you can restore it only via my backup root.

hi. why i can't set my cpu ?
i read few instructions in this forum (my phone restart loop and break the rom in this instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020313&highlight=x8oc please help me
I've found that adding "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8oc.ko" in hw works. Try that out and reboot. I also use an app (setcpu) for ocing. Give that a shot.
Edit: and don't oc all the way to 800+.. my phone's fast and stable at 710mhz...

i install setspu. but still in 600 and no more 600.
i take a screen shot for u :victory:
1. Did you push x8oc.ko to /system/lib/modules?
2. If it's a zip file, did you extract it first?
3. did you enter "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8oc.ko" in hw_config and save it?
4. Check again as a simple typo will cause it to not work.
5. Did you reboot or at least enter "insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko" as su in terminal?
6. Did you use setcpu's detect settings?
I'm guessing it's either a zip file you didn't extract first, or there's a typo in hw.

I see. Well honestly using xrecov or cwm for that zip never worked for me. So just do it manually.
Just extract x8oc.ko found in that file using an app like root explorer and move it to /system/lib/modules. Then enter the line i mentioned in hw_config. Reboot and you're good to go.
