Replacing GMail App for Themed App

Im wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I have a themed GMail app and I when I install it, it works, but when I reboot, its being replaced by the themed GMail app from Synergy Rom Nightly 8-12-11. Should I go into the synergy apps and delete the one there. If so can someone tell me how to get there as well? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you fully uninstall any older gmail.apk's with a good uninstaller program, just deleting them doesn't do it sometimes. Make sure you look in data/app and system/app because some apk's install in either, hope this helps.

Check location of installed Gmail apps.
/system/app
/data/app
Standard one should be installed in /system/app

To all:
For those installing themed Gmail (or any other themed app) The Gamil app is acting exactly as it should. Upon installing another themed Gmail, it will be usable and appear that all is well. Upon reboot it goes back to Dark Horse's or Stock Gmail app?
Well it's not the ROM's or the themes fault at all. If you get a themed app(or in this case) Silver's gmail inverted, you will notice that his name of his apk is "Test_blue_inverted_GM something something. Well when you install this is install as such and the adndroid system will link to that one without a reboot. Thi sis correct and completely normal. Where the problem you perceive as the ROM's or theme's problem is simple. Both the ROM and Theme use the correct naming stucture called Gmail.apk, Silvers does not. So upon reboot the icon links to Gmail as it should, which in effect to you it apears that the old one re-installed itself. It in fact did not.
Solution:
1. Rename Silver's Themed apk to Gmail.apk and it will overwrite the current one.
2. Uninstall gmail first then install Silver's.
Easy cheesy folks.

[Q] Can I put apps on my Rom or does it have to be stock?

I Could i put some apps on my rom i am making like Go SMS or Go Launcher ,camera 360 e.t.c and how can i do that and is it possible to remove apps like LG Home???

Why not ? It is a fully working rom, like stock - and you can install apps on stock rom, can you ?
So don't worry about it, knock yourself out (metaforically speaking )
Get them from google play store

In order to put apps to your current rom, push the desired apk file to /system/apps/
and change its permissions to "rw-r--r--" (same permissions as the other system apps)
(Root access and root file manager are required)

You can simply add and remove apps to system/app, but remove only the ones that can be removed (search for the list) and add them in the format: com.bkablabla-1.apk, otherwise they might not be updated. And you might need some libs, for not to get fc's...

have pressed thanks button, do i need linux os to change all these libs and other stuff or will it work on win7 and where do i download the libs because i am soon going to start to make my very own rom but needs a lot of help because i am new and do not know what to do
thanks

just remember not to put paid apps in if youre gonna be distributing your rom.....

Dude the zip file you mentioned in the OP does not work. I check it and the framework is not built for NS devices.
I dont know how you got them to work on your devices. If you dont mind please share the way you did. Cause i just flashed it thru CWM but nothing happened.
thanks

[ADD ON][Samsung AddOn + TouchWiz UX for CM9]

With permission from the developer, I would like to share this with you guys. Its an add-on to be flashed over CM9 Nightlies. Its mainly for those who love the stock look of Samsung and includes some Samsung Apps + TW UX + Sony Walkman Player (which i personally think is awesome!)
http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zgl68tzbdc331
****To be flashed over CLEAN CM9****
>Back Up Apps
>Factory Reset
>Flash Zip via CWM
>Restore Apps
More details and screenshots available at the original thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667051
Pls dont forget to thank the developer if you like it.

will it work on cm9 experimental build?

yes it does. im tried on mine. the first boot takes somewhat long. took about 20 mins if i remember right. be warned, dont flash if u dont like touchwiz (latest) or stock samsung apps cos it adds a few of those.

the new weather clock.apk not work for me.... problem loading widget... is it work for you guys?

not working on mine either :-( sorry.

hey there,
i wanted a few samsung apps, but not the launcher as i still want to remain my CM9 launcher. if i straight away flash this, the touchwiz ui will replace the stock ICS launcher?

theres still the option to select the Trebuchet launcher. or u can install another launcher over it like Nova or Apex which looks exactly the same like Trebuchet but with more functions.

I want to flash this for the default Samsung camera app. But if I flash this, will my entire system, ie the settings, menu etc look like Samsung s ics Rom?

i dont think camera will be changed. if u have downloaded the zip, check the system/app folder inside the zip. all the additional apps will be found there.

Actually I can't just copy Samsung camera as it requires some Samsung framework and tw elements. So was asking if after u flash this zip, do u have Samsung camera or does copying stock camera from Samsung ics Rom can work or not.

Quick help editing rom!

Hi!
I wan to edit a rom but i dont know how to do some things.
- Replace stock browser with dolphin browser (just replace or i will get some force close???)
- Replace music.apk (this one i know that just need to replace it =D)
- Remove arome installer from the rom (dont have a clue how to do it)
- I need a good working camera.apk with flash on photos and recording.

You don't know how to use Aroma installer, but you can flash a ROM...? Weird.
It will be hard to remove it, but it's somewhere in META-INF. Don't have much experience with it sorry.

You need to specify the ROM! But This. should work if the ROM's camera works, otherwise its a Driver/lib problem.
In the future be more specific. Developers/Experienced users won't help you if you're not willing to do anything. Don't be lazy too! These questions have been answered before! SEARCH.

WHAT ROM??? If you can't provide details don't expect an answer. Browser and Music apks can generally be replaced by deleting them form /system/app and replacing them with your desired apps (ie, I assume Dolphin and Apollo?) set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Make sure the apps are compatible with your system first though.
Aroma installer I am not certain about but I imagine that you can find it in your /system and just delete it and reboot. If it was in your ROM already then you can unzip the ROM and remove the respective files, rezip it and then flash.
In regards to the camera, I need the ROM information...
EDIT: Listen to PulseDroid, he has more experience than me.

Delete full meta inf and copy meta inf from other rom wich is based on same
