I'm trying to flash Vanilla Rootbox (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254185) but it doesn't show up when I go to install from TWRP. It's in the root storage when I view it on my laptop, but not when I go into recovery. What do I need to do? Thanks.
Hey is the download 100% complete? The only times I've run into the same situation is when file didn't download all the way and failed. Running root box also. I usually download to laptop then click and drag to og

I'm not sure. I started the download and then left. I'll try downloading it again and see what happens.

Good luck hope that works!
Still not showing up. I'm coming from VectuS, not sure if that matters. And I've got plenty of room on my sd card. Trying to download the 6.10.13 build test.
Another update: No ROM's are showing up. I just downloaded AOKP by Spleef and dragged it to the root of my storage, went into TWRP, and it's not there. What's the deal?
If their %100 did you click SD card then put into a folder like downloads?

No. I opened the internal storage from the computer and dragged the .zip over to that.
I may try making a folder and putting them in there and see if they show up.

Also by storage you mean the internal SD card right? You can make a folder in the SD card to put it in or if you like put it on the root of the sdcard

Sorry been eating, the only time I had a ROM not showing up in twrp is when the file wasn't complete. If its complete and on the sdcard should show no problem, let me think bout it. Does vectus ROM show on twrp?

I'm stumped now, you could flash cwm, then flash back to twrp after flashing ROM but doesn't fix. I'm sure the ROMs are somewhere in a folder. Are you on twrp 2.5? Complete downloads and hiding in download folder or another folder my guesses

How do I flash CWM? TWRP was on this phone when I bought it, and I just started getting the hang of flashing ROMs. Is it the same for recoveries?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I can find a link, I prefer twrp, before you try downloading root browser lite app (free). And try downloading a ROM again to PC or laptop.
And also try downloading straight to phone. For phone once downloaded make sure you have gapps, then boot into twrp click install, then go to downloads to see if Roma there.( if so go back wipe cache davlik data and system, then install ROM then gapps.
From laptop PC, hook up phone make sure ROMs complete. Open up SD card folder above storage then drag ROM and gapps to download and flash sorry if this is messy I'm multi tasking.....

Yes clockworkmod recovery is like team win recovery partition. I'll look for a flash able version, I've been flashing ROMs for alil while but new posting here, mostly trying to he able to post in development section to find ppl to work on rootbox started by LaSalle but he left and spleef is trying to start.
Make sure downloads from unknown sources is allowed under settings/security also.
I'll try to help as much as I can, downloading straight to phone should work with goo manager( free plays store)

Just go to the root box page and download from there, when you click on the link it'll ask from like chrome,browser and goo manager....click goo manager and wait til it downloads if it fails try again

Hi jthatch12,
It doesnt seem to work. I dropped the zip file in my sd card, launch CMW recovery, install from sd card. Installation was successful, (the last line was "Say thanks"). Rebooted the phone and the Task Manager is not appearing in the app drawer. Running CM10 20120821 built by codeworkx.
I dont wanna vote first and leave a bad record. Let me know if I've did anything wrong?

Can you confirm that the app is in the /system/apps/ folder? If it is, using an app like xplore.. you can manually set the permissions to 644 or rw-r-r
EDIT: Don't flash this using rom manager or fix permissions using it. Thats probably where things are going wrong. Use Clockwork Recovery to flash the zip, then fix the permissions there. Unfortunately your the only one having issues

Finally got it to work! Did it using a roundabout method as described by Snalfio in the unofficial JB thread.
-Extract the TaskManager.apk from your zip file;
-copy it in system/app;
-manually set permissions rw- r-- r--;
and tadaa, it magically spawned in the apps drawer. I've flashed the 0810 japps, maybe its causing the zip file to be unable to be installed properly into the system/app folder.

Those who had the problem. Follow this step
1. Boot into CWM recovery
2. Fix permission
3. Flash task manager zip file.
4. Reboot
If you fix permission after flash, task manager wont appear.
You must fix permission first, then flash it.

Since Chrome can't download ZIP files correctly, I have to use the Stock Browser. But when I download a ZIP, it says download unsuccessful. Then I go and tap on the file to see the issue and it says "Download failed: not enough memory."
I have like, 10+ GB avaliable on both my SD Card and Internal storage, so I don't understand the issue. The ZIP file is 22MB.
I am on FreeGS3 as well.

Pictures, personal files, backups, your rom zip etc...
Check your back ups you should never have more than one or two back up nandroid those take huge amount of space.
Just keep in mind anything on storage is either important to you personally but not to the phone, there won't be any system files necessary to the operation of the device.

I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note II.
Found this article on how to flash the phone so that apps can be put on the external SD card rather than the internal.
It looks easy. Could probably do it in under 5 minutes. The benefits, it seems, would be enormous.
Here is my major concern....
When AT&T pushes the next major update (I already have Jellybean 4.1.2), it will erase the root.
When that happens, will my phone go bezerk because the apps are not where they are supposed to be by default?
Is it always possible to immediately re-root a phone no matter what update is being pushed?
Also...
If an an app has a Google Play Store update to be downloaded, will it update the app if it is sitting on the external card?
[/QUOTE] When AT&T pushes the next major update (I already have Jellybean 4.1.2), it will erase the root.
Well if you're rooted and running a custom rom its likely the developer will take the updated source and update his custom rom, so no real reason to let your phone update from your carrier. And you can turnaround and root it again anyway.
When that happens, will my phone go bezerk because the apps are not where they are supposed to be by default?
From the article it isn't 100% clear but there was a hint that said the path was being modded so I don't anticipate your phone going berserk... And to test my hypothesis I'm gonna flash this in a minute and report back.

Yes.
Also...

Wow. How cool to have you here almost "live" testing this modification.
I am not running a custom rom. Just plain 'ol rooted on Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am also wondering if I need to copy all my files over the external SD card or this modification does it for you.
Look forward to your findings and will follow your advice before trying this. May have more questions as well. Will stay tuned.
Again, the link for everyone else watching this thread.

Ok the mod didn't work for me. I downloaded the exfat mod for custom kernel cause my sd isn't formatted and I'm running a custom kernel...
It flashed fine and upon reboot the apps went through the optimization process... Then rebooted, then was in a boot loop for 3 cycles, then got stuck on the samsung screen. I had to manually put it in recovery and restore and known good nand.
I'm gonna format my sd card and try another download, but for now my advice would be to search for another method.

Ok I ended up downloading the fat32 for custom kernel and it work, all 234 apps are installed on my external sd freeing up over 3 gb of storage on my internal sd.
Unable to post pics right now cause the server is overloaded, but I'll edit this post when it let's me. All in all I'd say my original advice is null as I downloaded the wrong file. Good find mate.

Oh...okay...so this actually WORKS.
Now the questions...
1. Did it automatically take all your apps from your internal drive (that existed there already) and moved them to the external?
2. Does it look like any future downloads I do from the Google Play Store will automatically install the app on the external card or do I have to manually move it?
You have already assured me that if a new update is pushed to my Note II that I can immediately re-root it so my phone doesn't get screwed up with the new app locations.

Ok I ended up downloading the fat32 for custom kernel and it work, all 234 apps are installed on my external sd freeing up over 3 gb of storage on my internal sd.
Unable to post pics right now cause the server is overloaded, but I'll edit this post when it let's me. All in all I'd say my original advice is null as I downloaded the wrong file. Good find mate.

1. Yes it moved them automatically. Using a strong file manager I can see them on my external sd card.
2. Yes any updates save to the external sd card. I confirmed this but manually updating 14 apps and they all saved to ex sd

Wow, this procedure sounded too good to be true -- but it turned out to be the real thing.
...and it moved all the apps, and the apps can be updated in their new location.
What more could one ask for? Going to try this procedure for myself in a few minutes and will report back.
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to try this out.

Make sure you do a backup first and download the correct file. For you, based off what you told me, would be the fat32 for stock kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Are chances pretty good I'll be okay without doing the backup? I won't hold you responsible if something goes wrong.
What do you use to backup? I use MyBackup Pro, but lately it freezes in the middle of backing up. I do have Titanium Root but I never backed up with it before so I will have to try and figure out how to do it.
But again, if things went pretty smoothly for you and I can escape a backup then for me, all the better.
And yes, I was ready to do the Fat32 kernel. That is the format I erased my card in.

You said you were rooted, do you have cwm or twrp installed?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I know cwm is Clockwork Mod. No, don't have installed because I don't install Mods. I am happy with a standard root.
What is twrp? I can easily download it if you recommend it for backup purposes.
Let me know what you recommend me doing.

If I were you, before I flash anything I would download goo manager from the play store, use it to install the latest TWRP recovery, the go into recovery and do a backup, then flash this sd card mod.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
LittleRedDot,
Having some difficulty flashing.
I downloaded both Fat32 files and got the same result. An E:signature verification failure during flash.
I think the correct file I needed for my stock Jellybean was Mod file for fat32 SD card (stock kernel with init.d support)
Downloaded it to my download directory on external card.
Rebooted into recovery mode (Power, Volume Up, Home Key)
Scrolled down to Install from Download
Found the downloaded file and selected it.
That is where I get the E:signature verification failure.
Any idea what may be going wrong here?
(BTW, backed up the phone to the external drive using Titanium Root. Hope it was okay to backup everything to the same drive I was flashing the drive from)

Go into settings and find the option to download from unknown sources, I think it's in the developer options, and click it, then erase the previous downloads and re-download the file.

Script manager won't work because I didn't successfully Mod the phone.
Not sure why it is not working but every time I go into recovery mode and select APPLY UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE
and then locate the .zip file in my download directory, I get the signature failure and the update aborts.

Scarcely a day has passed since the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 and HTC One went on sale, and their software bits are already floating around online. You can grab the files to get the new red SunBeam live wallpaper, boot animation, and updated camera app on your device.
The new boot animation is a group of spinning Google-color dots. It's a nice-looking animation and it's not hard to install.
Instructions :
1.Place the ZIP in SD card
2.Go to Recovery
3.Just flash it.
Bootanimation : HERE
The camera app has the updated finger-friendly setting menu, volume toggle shutter control, and probably some other tweaks,can be installed normally : CAMERA
The live wallpaper can be installed normally. The file is right here : SUNBEAM
The camera apk wont install. Does the system camera and gallery need to be removed first?

I don't want to hijack this thread but I'm new to changing boot animations aside from using an app to successfully change my boot animation a couple years ago on my Gingerbread Droid Pro.
Love this simple animation and would love to use it. Just a couple questions.
1. Can I backup my old boot animation and sound?
2. This may be silly and I see the term thrown around multiple times daily, but what does "flashing" something mean?
3. Does this animation have any sound? Not necessary just curious
4. I only want to update the boot animation an not the rest of the things. I don't want to tinker too much with my phone or I'm sure a "bricking" would be in my very near future. Does this Zip only change the boot animation?
5. Do I need to be running a custom rom or unlocked bootloader for this to work?
I am rooted on stock rom running 4.1.1.
Sorry for the elementary questions but I am just curious. Thanks for sharing!

1. Yes. You can back them up using an app such as Root Explorer or ADB. Just copy and paste /system/media/bootanimation.zip to your SDcard.
2.
"Flashing is the term used to install something on your device, whether it’s a ROM, a kernel, or something else that comes in the form of a flashable ZIP file. It is the process of applying a firmware image or a ROM, to your device and usually entails a very specific order of steps. If you don’t follow instructions, you may end up bricking your device." -Derek Scott at Android Central

3. Nope.
4. It will only change /system/media/bootanimation.zip
5. You can flash in Safestrap if your bootloader is locked. No custom ROM is necessary.
Awesome thanks so much! I take it that I can't just copy the file over to the correct directory with root explorer?

You can extract bootanimation.zip from the zip package, but it is easier to flash the zip through your recovery of choice.

Unlocked Bootloader, check. TWRP installed, check. Flashing Zip in TWRP, "Failed"...
Since this phone is newly unlocked with TWRP installed, is there a step I'm missing before I'm able to install?

when flashing, make sure to mount system first (wiping cache/dalvik helps too).
of course you have the wrong "zip".
unzip the file on your PC, and if you can navigate via the folders to a file named "bootanimation.zip" - then that is your actual boot animation file (this file can be added by moving it via root explorer).
Awesome thanks so much!

This is incredibly frustrating.. due to my lack of knowledge I'm sure. I unzipped the file to my PC. Copied the contents to my SD card. Wiped dalvic. Mounted system (this is the only part I was unsure if I did correctly). Clicked Install. Navigated to the bootanimation.zip file. Swiped to confirm flash. Failed.
You shouldn't have had to "unzip" anything. Just install the file in recovery as downloaded.
The instructions for unzipping would only be used if you were manually installing the animation via a file manager.

I have tried two ways.
1. Downloaded Google_Bootanimation-flashable_zip.zip to SD. Went to TWRP. Clicked Install. Flashed it. Failed.
2. Downloaded Google_Bootanimation-flashable_zip.zip to PC. Extracted zip. Copied contents of unzipped file including Bootanimation.zip to sd card. TWRP recovery. Clicked Install. Flashed that one zip file. Failed.
The only thing I can think of that I could be doing wrong is mounting the system.
And to be clear. Last night Step 1, unlocked bootloader. Step 2 TWRP install. Step 3, trying to flash the zip. Is there a step I'm missing? I have cleared dalvic cache a few times during the trial and error of flashing this zip.
Rooted. Stock 4.1.1.

Flashing the file simply did not work and ended up being a waste of time. Unzipping the file and copying the bootanimation.zip file over with Root Explorer took 30 seconds and was extremely simple if anybody happens to run into the same problem as I did.

FWIW, some of the 4.2.2 ROMs allow you to more easily swap your boot via settings (even gives you a preview).

everything works fine on 4.2.2
as long as your phone is rooted, unlocked, and TWRP installed, you can do anything you want to it.
I heard the camera was not working properly. And I heard stuff about battery life. All that fixed?

First of all, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place, so sorry if I'm bothering anyone by doing it. I also apologize for the following wall of text:
Now, My device is an HTC One m8 with stock android 6.0 and sense 7.0 firmware
It's rooted, bootloader unlocked, s-off with TWRP installed
However, it has usb debugging OFF!
I was restoring a backup from the SystemUI.apk from Titanium Backup and it got stuck restoring it for around an hour, so I decided to restart the phone, now, all I'm getting is a black screen with the message "System UI has stopped unexpectedly." and two options: Send report to HTC and Don't send. Whenever I click any of these options, the message disappears and reappears an instant after.
I'd like to know if there's a way to fix this issue, or if there's a way to enable USB debugging via TWRP in order to be able to install(?) the SystemUI.apk again (Which I don't have but keep searching for)
The last option would be to flash the stock rom again, but as far as I can tell, I need the USB debugging to be ON, which is kind of a bummer.
I really, REALLY need some help, I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find a solution for this
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR: Phone stuck in black screen with "System UI has stopped" and USB debugging turned OFF. Help?

Usually adb will work by default in twrp, you may have to hit mount first and check system if it is not already checked.
You can also use the file manager in twrps advanced menu to copy the SystemUI back into place and chmod it to 0644.

lright, so I go to TWRP, mount system so I can copy the file to my phone? I tried that, but perhaps I didn't do it the right way. What do you mean by "chmod it to 0644"? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob in this whole android experience
And by the way, Do I need to rename the "SystemUI.apk" file to .zip for it to be recognized by TWRP?

In the file manager in twrp it will recognize it as an apk so no need to rename it. Just copy it to /system/priv-app/ if on 4.4 or /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ if on 5.0+. Then chmod is to change the permissions of the apk. 0644 is rw-r--r--. You can do this with twrps file manager also...after you copy the apk into place.

Will do once I get it working, right now I went to TitaniumBackup and tried to restore my sysui backup, the app installation window came up asking me if i wanted to update my SystemUi app and I accepted, but after a couple of seconds it said "App not installed" i tapped "done" and titaniumbackup is now "Restoring App+Data" which is what it got stuck in the last time I tried... Should I wait a while longer and see what happens or did something go wrong?

Well, the good thing is you have a phone with firmware and fastboot readily available. If it comes down to it you can always get it back to stock. Hopefully it will work for you though, so you don't have to go through the trouble.
