    Change alarm sound to custom sound

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just did this -- added a custom alarm -- only I used a slightly different method. I started with a song I could only find on YouTube. I converted it to an MP3 here and downloaded it to my laptop. I then converted it to .ogg format here, moved it to my...

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    Ahhh. Good to know. Thanks for all your help... couple days have passed and dalvik2dev is definitely doing the trick. True though, it's a long ass boot.... but I don't reboot more than once a day so no biggie. Thanks again.

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    hlxanthus: I get it. Thanks for the down-to-earth explanation. I think the term "/dev" threw me off, since there is a /dev *directory* on a linux file system which contains special device files. But okay, the /dev *partition* serves a completely different function, namely a kind of swap...

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    Actually I just found a thread on another Android forum that was pretty informative.... and basically the general consensus was to avoid using it. The guys people discussing it were devs so I feel confident it was good advice. That said, I am now insatiably curious what will happen if I try...

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    hlxanthus: very much appreciate the explanation as well as the link. Will definitely look into dalvik2dev right now. I'm still unclear as to how your solution works (meaning, where does the Dalvik cache go when it is rebuilt? If it is Dalvik to Device, isn't that the same as Dalvik to...

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    I reread MasterTech's instructions for moving the Dalvik Cache and a light bulb went off. Titanium Backup has the following option and I've always wondered what it was for: menu > more >Integrate Dalvik into ROM. I chose it and got: I chose "yes", a bunch of system files were apparently...

    "package file is invalid" while trying to update google maps

    I'm having this same problem. Damn annoying. I'm on an LG Optimus S running HydroROM (VJ), my internal storage shows 107MB free, my sd card has 27.61GB free. Google Maps and IMDB both download fine from the Google Play Store but upon install show the "package file invalid" message. Things I...

    IHO BACKSide ROM Trouble with TeamViewer

    My laptop at home is a Dell Inspiron 6000 running SalixOS (Linux). I have happily used Teamviewer6 on said laptop to run various Macs and Windows PCs remotely, and vice-versa. No problems. I downloaded the Andorid Teamviewer app awhile ago and at first it worked fairly well for controlling my...

    are there any free tethering options anymore?

    I'm also on ZVD. Before I rooted and started using the (functional) hotspot widget on RebornROM, I used Azilink to tether (by usb). It works great and I still keep it around as a back up. Setting it up wasn't exactly one-click, but the instructions are straightforward.

    Good ROMs for Optimus S

    Correct, ZVH was an update to ZVD, which was supposed to bring Android 2.3 Gingerbread from 2.2 Froyo to our device. We are all certainly hoping that they will issue a corrected update, but we waited too long for this one and we know that the Optimus S is not the big new thing for LG or Sprint...

    Good ROMs for Optimus S

    Thanks to all for the feedback, epidenimus in particular for the very thorough breakdown, complete with analogies only a distro-whore would appreciate. After consideration I think I will stay with ZVD on this device and continue to use Reborn until Hydro is out of beta and has seen a few...

    Good ROMs for Optimus S

    Ok, here's my deal. New to Android, but not Linux. Got a free LG Optimus S (ZVD), read about it, rooted it with one-click, installed xionia, flashed RebornROM (then dutifully donated), made nandroid and Titanium back-ups on both device and laptop, and am now looking to move to either HydroROM...

    ARCHIVED: [ROM] Reborn ROM v2.2.4 - 7/24/11

    Actually, just prior to reading your post I saw the donate button on KSmithInNY's profile and used that. Hopefully it all goes the same place. Wasn't much, ten bucks....but just a gesture to say that I really like what you guys are doing. Favorite OS: SalixOS. Favorite ROM, RebornROM...
