Did you try CWM or sgs kernel flasher which sends you to CWM?

ODIN only does .tar/md5 files.....if its a zip file 99% chance its CWM......

no i didnt wasnt sure which one to use. thanks

do i unzip the file first or cwm does it for me?

CWM does it, theres in option that says install zip from sdcard, then choose the zip from sdcard

I know you got your answer, but if you had spent some time reading the Andromeda threads in Q&A (a sticky) and Dev you would have gotten your answer easily. This should have been posted in the sticky. That's what it is here for. Please use it before starting a new thread in the future.

you should be able to extract them from one of the RUU's already posted. I'd send you mine off my pone but I can't (read: don't have the time to **** around with it) from work.

Search the market for a app called "download all files"
It will allow you to download any file type from your browser. Just instal it, then download like you regularly would inside your browser.

what concerns me is that you should not have this issue in the first place???? But then there could be something not right with the flash of your rom that causes this... would suggest going back into the dev thread where you got the rom and search if there is any other work around as well, if not record this as a bug in there

You sure that the ROM is in a .rar file? Maybe you have the wrong file, because I think this link for the ROM and it isn't compressed in a .rar file, it's on a normal .zip.
The link you post is for another version of the rom.
The final edition is in a .rar file... http://www.mediafire.com/?96lczfm20959kgn

Ohh man,
Download that and
Extract that .rar file to your computer,you will get 3-4 files in that. Some are for ics layouts and 1 is for file manager.apk.
copy the apocalypse 09072012.zip into your sd card and flash via cwm...
Ah ok thanks,will give that a try :beer:

If you're on stock ROM you'll have to flash this first

Otherwise it won't work with zipped boot animations.

No. It will just replace a few files in system to make it work with zipped animations instead.
You need a custom recovery, like cwm or twrp to flash it.
