says Android system Recovery

Okay, so you flashed alternate recovery, battery pulled, booted into recovery to install the update.zip but it was stock recovery. That happens. Reboot, reflash alternate recovery (do it twice or three times), and then try again.

By the way, those instructions were from a pre-release version of a project that the FRG83D update made impossible, so my apologies at the errors in step 8.5.

 

[furbearingmammal]

Did it boot right in or did you have to hit volume up/camera?

 

[GeckoDroid]

OK its rebooting

 

[GeckoDroid]

i got in, followed the rest of the directions and rebooted

 

[GeckoDroid]

After following steps 1-13 I am now booted up and back looking at the phone normally, whats next

 

[furbearingmammal]

Now you install the ROM.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :icon_ devil:

Oh, sorry, I seem to have managed to get a little evil on my face.

 

[GeckoDroid]

Now you install the ROM.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :icon_ devil:

Oh, sorry, I seem to have managed to get a little evil on my face.

Show me the ways oh EVIL ONE ! what ROM are we going to use

Well, you have your choice. How comfortable is your lady friend with the stock feel? Would she like to go with something totally different? You tell me and I'll narrow it down; or you can call a code blue-green and I'll just head right for CyanogenMod 6.1.2.

Very stock-like feel and ungodly amounts of features and tricks. And if you want a rotary lockscreen I can point you at the latest nightly. Just as stable as 6.1.2 but with an updated market build and rotary lockscreen (you may need to turn it on).

she wants a way to change her notification bar to black cause shes sick of the white look....she wants a battery percent in her notification bar instead of a picture of a battery she wants more of a battery look, she wants something faster and smoother and she would love to get her rotary lock screen back before they made it this ugly left to right unlock..she likes her quick launch icons from launcher pro and how she can make them small and all the same color, and that she can squeeze the icons in the app draw to see more and conserve space

 

[GeckoDroid]

...yeah she thought about this and actually wrote me a list on a piece of paper

 

[GeckoDroid]

So if you know of one that has at least most of those your amazing and she is going to have a great night

 

[GeckoDroid]

oh she also wants a new gallery, she wants a gallery like the incredible where it shows the folders and also gives u an option to click all photos, because the gallery she has stock she things is ridiculously slow and unnecessary

Okay. Download this, rename update.zip, place on root of SD card, reboot into recovery, do a factory reset 2x, allow update.zip install, install update.zip, reboot. Wait. It may take a few minutes. If you want a "return to rooted stock" option, make a Nandroid backup from the backup menu before wiping and installing the ROM.

Now you'll need to install the Google apps. Download this, rename update.zip, place on root of SD card, reboot into recovery, allow update.zip install, install update.zip, reboot.

You should now have a fully-functional device. I haven't moved up to this version of the ROM yet; I'm still on 6.1.2 stable, so she'll have a newer version of the ROM than I do.

If you want a black notification bar without flashing a full-on theme I can talk you through that too, but let's get the ROM on there first.

how am i placing these on the sd card?
