- Select both the ...\update\META-INF\ and ...\update\system\ folders, rightclick, 'Add to archive'*
- Choose type: .zip (NOT .rar!)
- Zip the file, put it onto your external SD
- Go into recovery, and choose 'apply update from sdcard' or choose manually through 'install zip from sdcard >> choose zip from sdcard >> update.zip'

installed both livewallpaper apk, and now livewallpaper is working^^

Glad to hear! I think this is one of the more convenient ways to push apps in.. I prefer it over ADB

This ROM sucks I guess... It does not install for me... I the stock miui rom and it installs good, but when I try to install this one, it never boots to the rom!
F-

It's not a ROM it's LG apps and Google apps only, and an outdated version if you look the date of the posts: Froyo certainly...

[BOOT] Android Scribble Boot and Shutdown Animations

I've been using Andromeda since it was first released, but I didn't like the Armani branding in the boot and shutdown animations, so I decided to install ones of my choice. My favorite is the Android Scribble animation, the original one with green and gray color. I also used the one with orange color when I ran the themed version of andromeda 2.x for a while. Here they are in one place for easy download.
Boot Animation:
Most custom kernels support custom boot animations using a bootanimation.zip file. This is *NOT* a clockwork mod recovery flashable file, but should be renamed to bootanimation.zip and copied into /data/local/bootanimation.zip (recommended) or /system/media/bootanimation.zip. These boot animations are suitable for most custom roms, as long as the kernel supports it.
Download from Dropbox:

Orange Android Scribble boot animation
Shutdown Animation:
The shutdown animation works differently. The png image files must be copied to the /system/media/video/shutdown/ directory. The following files *ARE* flashable from clockwork mod recovery. The current contents of the directory will be overwritten with the new contents. It will not be backed up and will be lost. If you wish to preserve the existing shutdown animation, you should use root explorer or another root file manager to transfer all the current contents of the /system/media/video/shutdown/ directory to a backup location.

I have a question or 2. If I place the bootanimation.zip in the folder you stated, will the kernel go there first or will I also have to delete the original Andromeda bootsamsumg.qmg & bootsamsumgloop.qmg files so there are no problems or boot lock-up? Also you recommended putting zip file in data/local folder. When I go there I have a data folder that is empty. I believe I will have to create the local folder then copy boot.zip into. Is this correct. I'm running Andromeda v3 with Ursa Minor 2 kernel. Thanks

Just place bootanimation.zip in one of the two directories, and then reboot. Nothing else is required. Btw, /data/local/ should be there on andromeda3, I think. I had SpeedMod kernel installed on Andromeda for a while before the new Ursa Minor kernel came out, and it may have created that directory when I installed it. If it's there, it should be an empty directory except for a sub-folder called tmp. If not, you can create it with permissions rwxrwx--x, or just use the /system/media/ directory.
The shutdown animation is a clockwork mod flashable zip file. Copy the file to your sd card, use the power menu, or any method you prefer, to boot into recovery. Ursa Minor kernel (and most custom kernels) contains ClockworkMod Recivery v2.5.1.3. Select "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" then find the "cwm-scribbleshutdown.zip" file (it's easier to find if you put it in the root of the sdcard), confirm selection and go. It will automatically install the image files into the correct directory. When it's done, go back, go back, and reboot.

[Q] Changing bootanimation on CM10.1

I always tried to use custom bootanimations on my I9000B running CM10.1, but it never changed, it went straight to that blue android logo.
Yesterday I was exploring the flashable .zip for the ROM and I've found where the bootanimation .zip is stored.
What happens if in the flashable ROM .zip I change the bootanimation to other and flash onmy device? Will the bootanimation change?

Question is answered, it works, changing the bootanimation file in the flashable .zip and then flashing the ROM.

Hi.
Another way is that you peak bootanimation (bootanimation.zip file) from any ROM and file that you want and replace it with root explorer on your ROM and reboot your phone.
It's Work

[Q] [REQUEST] Email.apk for GB 2.3.6 (Meso ROM)

I loaded Meso ROM this week. I'm very happy with the performance and appearance thus far. It is very clean with all the bloatware removed.
Within the Meso ROM thread, there is a post stating all of the bloatware is available for download. Unfortunately there is no link to a download.
==Removed bloatware (removed samsung related apps)==
this is a flashable zip contains the removed bloatware. if u want to choose the apks u want to flash, then open the zip and in /system/app delete the files u don't want to install.
Does anyone have this zip file? How about stock apps that will work with this ROM?
I tried loading up JVU and extracting the Email.apk and Email.odex, but that didn't work.
Please help!
I don't want to switch. I really like the battery life with GB, and like the way this ROM works.

Contact alkhafaf developer of Mesorom...did you try that first or post on that page?
Try this email.apk : HERE
Copy it to system/app with Root Explorer then reboot phone

Auto deodex L90 (d415) stock ROM

What is this: a CWM/TWRP-installable .zip of deodexed /system/app, /system/framework, and /system/priv-app folders from a FRESH stock LG L90 d415 (T-Mobile) ROM with SuperSU installed, and a script that will delete the .odex files in those directories before putting the deodexed .apk files to their directories.
I am not a developer and take as little credit for this as possible If you want to know why you'd want a deodexed rom, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200349
I used the following sources to make this package:
Kitkat Deodexer from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725930
Stock ROM from here (my phone already has TWRP installed): http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/stock-rom-t2897683
After I installed the Stock ROM above, I let TWRP install SuperSU, then ran the Kitkat Deodexer.
Prerequisites for using this package:
an unlocked bootloader and CWM/TWRP installed.
A fresh stock d415 ROM that you want to have deodexed
Google Keyboard or another keyboard installed on your phone before flashing the .zip -- LG Keyboard does not like being deodexed, it would seem. You can get an .apk of Google Keyboard from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312179. Once you reboot into the deodexed ROM, set Google Keyboard as your main input method.

I make absolutely no guarantees whatsoever. Backup your phone before installing this or any other package.
