Why would you want to add apks to the system? not like you'll be distrubuting the rom is it? so the answer to that may be pointless...
The wifi thing - hmm, possibly unless the rom specifies that it has N enabled..
Fonts - I don't believe you can, I think you have to use an app from the market like FontChanger to change fonts.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong,

well i want to remove some coz i dont use them and add those i use.
and yes i manualy correct wifi setings and is working ok
fonts <- by the way question
Well you can certainly remove some from your system folder and add apks no problem, sorry, I misunderstood, that is fine, you can remove specific ones, taking care to not remove any "core" apks... dialer.apk for example..
For fonts you can download an application called FontChanger from the market, that allows you to use different fonts you can download from websites (www.dafont.com for example) and use these as your standard font

Yes he is right. You can not install new fonts by copying them into font folder. Have to install Font changer.

Hi everybody!!
Before I tell you my question I want to say that I'm totally new to Android and ofcourse theming it.
This morning I was trying to modify the GenieWidget.apk to make the background transparant. After reading a few topics I was able to change the background. But now I'm a bit stuck...
My question is, is it possible to change the widgets alignment? The GenieWidget is normally on the left of the screen (the content) and what I want is to center the content of the Weather part of this widget. So the weather has to be on the center of te screen... (the whole widget has to be centered...)
Is that possible? I attached my GenieWidget.apk
Kind regards,
Stylooo
Good question.
(BUMP)
- You could always resize the widget with LauncherPro Plus. But that doesn't really fix the 'problem'.

That won't work like you said. What I need is just a few padding at the left of the widget... And my guess you have to edit a .XML file, but I don't know how to edit them.

I guess, yes, it´s possible...if you edit the values in the right xml.file.

Okay but how do you edit the files? The xml files in the apk's are not standard xml files right?
Do a search of these forums for APKManager. It is a really fantastic script/tool that consolidates and utilizes a number of other useful tools created by XDA members.
Specifically, it will decompile the apk you want to modify (GenieWidget) and convert the XMLs into a format you can view and edit as you would any other XML. And, once you are finished your changes it will recompile the apk, converting the xmls back into the otherwise unreadable format, and even sign and install if needed.
It is probably the most useful tool I've yet to come across.
I am looking for the latest version of the transparent or no baxkground geniewidget for my Samsung vibrant as i am using the version 1.17 rc6

You have to uninstall the one you have on your phone before installing the 'newer version' (Excuse my lolz).
If not you can push it through adb. Works aswell.
is it not possible to install geniewidget with a transparent background on a non-rooted phone??
I can use calwidget with a transparent background, battstatt with a transparent background and tajm with a transparent background.
is there no crisp looking weather widget with options for a transparent background or resizable features???

Uninstalled but doesn't help
Actually is my version the latest?
There's no "newer" version.
People modify widgets to their liking.
You need basic ADB knowledge to replace applications on your phone.
1) Get the Android SDK
2) Install it to C:\ and rename the folder Android
3) ADB-debugging on your phone = YES
4) Start CMD and type cd C:\android\tools
5) Type adb devices (See your device?)
6) Type adb remount (Read/Write privliges)
7) Type adb pull system/app app (Makes a new folder in /tools named app)
8) Put your GenieWidget in the App-folder, overwrite the old one
9) Type adb push app system/app
Done.
hi.... guys.
i have problem with my x1..when i play youtube video in internet explorer..
it's play so fast..... very abnormal... i already install flash player...but it's still same.
how can i fix this..and i really wanna change system fonts... but when i do this.. some of my app can't read that font. i wanna change to new times roman font....plz tell me how can i do that.... I'm using wm 6.1....
Concerning your youtube problem I don't know a solution since I use youtubeplay which can be downloaded here at xda. Maybe you try this app?
What program did you use to change the system font? I recommend sk tools or xperia tweak.
thanks for app that u recommend....
now my youtube play normaly...
i'm just rename new times roman font to tahoma font and copy to windows directory using resco explorer.. then i restart my phone...
You cannot simply rename times new roman to tahoma and then replace the existing tahoma file in the windows folder. If you want times new roman as your system font you have to copy it from your pc to the windows folder on your phone and then use a program like sk tools, advanced config or xperia tweak to change the system font.
i already do that... but only some app have change...
message, bottom taskbar, today plugin...and more not change at all..
i wanna change all of'em....what should i do...

Have you tried sk tools? It offers quite a lot of possibilities to adapt the user interface and therefore system fonts too.
You can also try the app "KDFont" to change the phone's fonts
thanks guys....
now i can change my font system to any type......
How to change the fonts pls tell me......
There is...
Could you be more specific?
In fact into Play Store are a few apps to change your default font, but as first condition to change it, you need a rooted device, I'm not able to share links cuz I'm checking forums from my iPod, but I use 2 apps, one for General Font and the other for Clock Lockscreen, Font changer and Type Fresh every one explain you how to use them.

Font Changer
Since I used Font Changer to change the font when using Marvel rom, it is easy to use. But first, you should find some fonts, download and copy to SD Card/.fontchanger (I dont remember clearly but you can follow the app' instructions). Good luck
i have a few questions which after a lot of browsing also i cannot understand..
1) you know, all that stuff like v6 supercharger adrenaline,activo speeder and so on, what is the difference b/w all of these? which ones should i flash? and suppose it is already there in my rom how do i know about it? many people give different answers but im using blackdroid rom so along with that if anyone knows anything?
2) I recently found a rom whose font i really liked. if i wish to add that font in my current rom how do i do that? please keep it simple because i couldnt understand anything in other threads.
(PS to use font changer root do i need to extract the font from the rom?if so how?)
THANKS!!
v6 is available for just a few ROMs and setting it up isn't easy for novice users. If you have adrenaline engine, you can't flash anything else, because it gives bootloop. Activo is friendly to other scripts, so it's a choice for anybody who has no idea what should give bootloop.
For the font: wait for someone else, because I never change fonts
to change fonts all I do is use root explorer then goto system/fonts then replace DroidSans.ttf (this is the main font used by android) with the font you want to use and make sure you rename it to DroidSans.ttf and set permissions. you can also change all the fonts this way but just make sure you rename them and set permissions.. . do a nandroid backup just incase then reboot.

If you want to know if there are scripts in Rom write to developer
In v1 of BL Rom I didn't add any scripts like this, but in v2 (you can find changelog on my thread) I added some useful

You can also check it by looking in to system > etc > init.d folder

u mean change only icons ? if thats the case , then u need a theme manager to change the theme. some themes change only icons, some change everything. but the icon set is inside a theme. themes support specific launchers. so its possible that ur favorite launcher doesnt support ur favorite theme ( for the icons ). the other way around is to use a root explorer and change every little icon manually inside apks.

Better yet, you can make your own theme. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44609532
You can get everything you need to know about making your own theme there.

the stock one is LGHome3.apk.
since u use an alternative launcher look for it in data/app. apps u install go there. in system/app are the system apps that have root access.
well I found it as u said, it's LGHome3.apk.
used ninjamorfh, exchanged the icons, finished my project and wooow: I soft brick my phone
the launcher disappeared and after reset it was stuck in the logo.
so after about 4-5 nervous hours of pushing apk thru adb, recovery, software reset, wiping it all , download rom, flash stock rom with kdz,
restore my 120 apps, restoring backup files, I was able to bring my 4x back to life as it was before.
so conclusion :
some things don't worth to **** with :laugh: LOL
if u want to change ur app drawer icon don't be hard headed like me, create a theme or install a launcher that can do it.
anyway,
anyone that helped me in this thread .....thanks

i guess there is a reason why there is no app that can change manually the app drawer icon, It could get messy.
I used ninjamorph app (root app), it should decompile/recompile the apk automatically.

if it is only for icon , u can just treat the apk as if it was a zip. just open it with the zip manager and force the icon to replace the one u want.
