I don't want to download every time when I change my ROM applications' (it is too expensive for me). Can I "bury" any applications in any ROM?
Try titanium backup

That's good idea, thanks. But what about my second question?
Do u mean apparently it to theaop folder in the zip before u flash
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I mean, that if I load apk file in ROM's zip to /app will it installed in flashing time? Or I must write some command in any ROM's system file?
I'm trying to mod an existing custom rom for my own use. Im just changing some pngs.
I unzip it, use formatter to change framework res apk to rar, unpack it. Change my pngs, repack it, use formatter to change back to apk. (Do I need to sign it?) Zip up the folder with 7zip, set compression as store.( is this correct) . But when I go to install it in cwm it wont install. I'm clearly missing a step. Someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks

Anyone know what I'm missing. Read as many tutorials as I could find. But clearly I'm doing something wrong.

How i can decompile system.ext4.img on windows? and how I can recompile?
I dont know for sure, it has something to do with a file called uyaffs if i remember correctly on windows. U can unpack it but if u want to do things about android it is best to use a linux os. It is much easier.

I'm on linux and use this to decompile : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Seems it works on windows + cygwin
Just put img files in the good folder and this tool will create meta-inf and system folders with everything inside
To recompile you may try this method :
- flash the compiled rom with cwm
- make a backup and you'll get an img file
Btw, dsixda's kitchen can deodex the rom too
Hope it'll help
Thanks

you find it?
download an app called ext2explore
That will enable you to view the image and then extract it if you want.
hi guys today i'm here to show you the easyest way to theme your apk without using a pc.
I'm doing this because i don't have my pc now and i'm a little bit bored xD
prerequisites:
-rooted device
-root explorer
-zipsigner (free on play store)
ok LET'S GO!!
1) go to the desired apk and rename it from "apkname.apk" to "apkname.apk.zip" using root explorer (apkname is the name of your application e.g. whatsapp.apk->whatsapp.apk.zip)
2) extract zip using root explorer and you will get a folder with the extracted files inside.
3) go to the extracted folder and change the pics you want
4) be sure to rename the pics with the original name (if i want to change an apk's image called app_logo.png i will have to pick an image and copy it to the extracted folder in res/drawable folder,once here i have to paste the image and rename it into app_logo.png)
5) once you finished replacing the images go back until you see a folder called meta-inf,res,lib,assets etc etc... and press menu button,select all the items and zip all the files,rename the zip into apkname.apk
6) navigate to sdcard/speedsoftware/zip and you will see your zipped file,now rename it from apkname.apk.zip to apkname.apk
7)try to install your modded apk, if it doesn't install open zipsigner and as input file select your modded apk,as output file re-select your modded apk (rename it into signedapkname.apk if you want) then tap on the box to the bottom called "sign the file"
8) once signed install your modded apk using any file manager
ENJOY!

hope in theme section there will be a lot of modded apks with new ui

You mean "resources.arsc" ...
This file contains pre-compiled resources, such as binary XML(values, layouts and dimens... etc) for example,
and to edit this file you must decompile the apk using apktool.jar via PC only (can't be dicompiled/compiled via phone environment)

nope, that way you can only replace png's, to edit rgb values (stored in colors.xml) you still have to decompile it with apktool...
