Hi
I have two main questions...
1) I wish to modify a custom ROM (for personal use)-to do this I was thinking of 'mixing' apps, for example using apps from other ROMS and putting them into one. So my question is once I am done mixing around with these apps do I repackage the zip using something like 7Zip or do I need another special program?
2) I was thinking of theming some basic apps (changing their background wallpaper), how can I do this (any links)?
I cannot unlock my bootloader, but I don't think I need to anyway, also I am currently on Android 2.3.7 (GDXv029-stock).
Thanks.
P.S.: My PC is Windows 7 x64, incase it helps.

The way I think putting apps in roms the fastest way is zip it with 7z. Put apk's in system/app(not all apps will work in system) and then your done. Easy as that

So i took the system dump from the nexus 1 froyo package because there are a few apps i wanted that come stock with the nexus. When i try to install them though, it says problem parsing the package. How do i get them to install?

Try root explorer or adb and place them in the proper directory
/system/app - system apps
/data/app - all others
Ive already done that and it doesnt work. Ive already put a new launcher in the system/app direcrory and done away with touch wiz. I did it through root explorer. But the other apps dont work even after placing them in the directory. Do I also need to place the odex file there too?

Well that would depend if the rom you are using is De-oxed or not. If it is then it wont work no matter where you put them, if it is not then yes. No promises that they will work at all sense you are using HTC based apks on a samsung device. As long as none of them need the htc framework to work you should be good

Im actually not using a rom. Stock froyo on my device. I like the battery life much better. I wanted it to be as pure google as possible. So i removed touchwiz, all the samsung apps and widgets, and all the att apps. Its very snappy and looks very pure google. Only thing is the music player, calculator, calendar, and contacts apps. I wanted stock versions of those.

Hey guys.
Any thoughts or opinions about the new file manager in cm ?
I really like it.the root acces is good But it lacks a dark theme and some rotation enabled.
Also was wondering if i could use it on a non cm rom ? Maybe backup with tb ?
Ps: holy crap! You cant copy files to another folder ... you can create copy but you cant move it ? Wtf ?
Solid explorer still beats it.
I heard it can access root folders but can't open archive/zip files. The latter is a deal breaker for me. Still it's a good start

Well working on BAKED-crespo 6. Just copied to /system/app. Set permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot and done. Well so far does whatever I want. For sure will see updates.
I'm curious because i can do everything that everyone above is claiming they can't. Hmph...

Make sure you have root access mode enabled

I remove it every time I update a nightly on my phone. It's probably the worst thing I've ever seen. It looks like something written for X Windows 10 years ago. The interface, design and functionality is about as basic as you get.. CM team should stick to providing stablilty and integrated options into Android and not apps that there are already 1000 better choices of.

This was the first thing that I needed to do with a file manager with my latest install. I also found this to be a huge place where this file manager is lacking. Sticking with Root Explorer for now (I already bought it, might as well keep it).
Have it installed from my latest CM10 nightly, but would really like to be able to do a MD5 checksum on it, because I always like to do this for ZIPs before flashing, just in case. Don't know how easy / feasible / possible that would be, but would be nice.
I like the interface apart from that access time sucks.... As someone mentioned solid explorer which looks similar performs a lot better.

Yes you can! Select the file you want to move (tick the box) and then go to the location where you want it pasted. Then press the button on the bottom left, and select 'Move selection here'.
Better use root explorer

Hey peeps,
I would like to know if the lockscreen can be themed.
It's lookin really nasty on a higher display resolution.
I want to try it myself but should I even start? Because I can't install it through cmw recovery. This official Rom doesn't allow cmw. And does anyone know which file I should change. Never done anything with theming before. I already got the images from the framework file.
Added a screenshot to make my story/question more clear.

You can still install it by pushing it via adb, or copying the file using a root file explorer. But be careful, cause if you brick your device, you ll have to completely reinstall the ROM, or at least, reflash, reroot and reinstall the rest with Titanium

Hey
I am currently on Stock Rom (JB) and I love the custom email widget which shows the Combined Inbox and then you just click it for Individual Email boxes.
Now I want to flash a Custom Rom (Slim) but the email widget doesn't work this way on that (I tried it on i9000 and the click to change doesn't work), is there anyway I can make it behave like default in that?
Or if that's a different widget can I backup it with TB and then restore after flashing the custom Rom? or better still does someone happen to have the apk for it?
Don't say that it's not possible please
Thanks
You can try backing it up and restoring. You should check the apps and themes forum for it for an available MOD. Backing up n restore should work as it isn't an app requiring TW framework if I'm right. No harm in trying...
Have you tried the app store? I'm sure it's there

Look, u open a TW based ROM and open the frameworks folder and search for the email apk and copy it to your phone. It should work.

Don't use unnecessary apps.
That's everything you can do on stock kernel and ROM.
Also, use stock laucher and don't use many widgets (that's already when system is ON but could be annoying as well)

I'm using doomkernel v21 and stock kk .757 deodexed. There is not any another way to change it ????
There are xposed modules which allow you to change which apps "start" at boot. You may want to look into boot managers for rooted devices

Tweak kernel, do that what Greg just said and delete all unnecessary apps...
If you are rooted and you are - you can do many things.
You can go to system/app and system/priv-app and delete all apps you don't need.
BTW - even we need deodexed ROMs to be able to use many mods - odexed ROM are faster.
That's whole or the main purpose of dex files and dalvik cache
Apps are using their dex brothers to access assets easier and quicker...
