[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

Have you root your phone?? Install titanium backup, and you can remove your apps..

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.....

[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.

i've checked. the samsung camera app is not included in this add on. to answer ur othr question, i dont think copying the stock samsung camera will work either, for the same reasons u stated above

Actually if u have an ics or even a gb nandroid backup, extract it and find polaris office apk from it and copy it to the location you found it. And change permission.

You should try search and if you did you would find:
SplannerWidget
You will have to be rooted at least with a custom kernel that has cwm or twrp. Lots of information on how to do that available, just use "search" and you will find it...

thanks for the link

Thanks for the quick response.

I will be trying to do what you suggested.

if you take your time, do some reading, explore the vast amount of information here, do searches for things like kernels, tutorials, root and that sort of thing and you will do fine... and don't be scared of the thanks button :good: LOL...

You just need to be rooted, you don't even need a custom kernel. A root browser app will do the trick, download the zip file provided by bob, open it and extract the apk inside system\app folder. Move it to your phone's system\app folder and set permissions rw-r--r-- :good:

[Q] Integrate an App to the ROM

Hello friends.
What I'm thinking to do is for example to use the Holo Locker not as an application that you download it as a system.
I mean that when you install the ROM and this post would be something more like changing the ROM with things I want, I want to know how to do that without having to downloading applications, only I modify the ROM before and when installing have what I want.

You can do it manually or with apps like Titanium backup.
In Titanium Backuo is a function: Integrate user app into system (Idk if this translation is correct since I'm not using it in english, bit you'll find it).
If you want to do it manually download the .apk file of your Holo Locker and place it with a file manager into /system/app/(here) , give permissions rwrr and reboot

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.
BTW, thanks for searching the Forum/Web first, because some people just don't.

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.
