[Q] Replacing system apps

Im currently using froyo by laszlo... and it has its own default system apps...
i want to replace it with some off my own prefer things...
to be direct...
i want to replace the launcher contacts dialer and messaging apps...
i want it to have go launcher, go contacts, go dialer, go messaging
would it be just like unzipping then remove the apps i dont want, put in the apps that i want sign the apks, then zip and sign?

1. im pretty sure you can just put the apk's in system/app folder... but since they're apps from market they might need to go into data/app folder.. not sure
2. you dont need to sign the apk's if your signing the rom.zip...

I would suggest just installing the apps you want and pretending the others aren't there.
Removing important system apps can break stuff pretty badly. There is a page on the cyanogenmod wiki about what can and can't be removed. Read that then remove what you want. Also since the apps you want are market apps I would recommend installing them from there so you don't have to redo everything every time one of them updates

this is true^^^

[Q] Reinstalling removed stock apps

Hello,
Please, can someone try to explain me next:
I removed few stock apps from system with root explorer. Before that, icons of those removed app were placed in folder System Applications. After a while I wanted to reinstall some of removed apps back by moving back apk file to system/app. Everything went fine. App is working again but app's icon is now placed in Downloads folder? How can I manage this to get this icon in original folder again, to System Applications?
Cheers

[Q] stock google apps

hi there,
is it possible to replace some system apps on a samsung s3 lte rom with google stock apps?
apps which i would replace:
- email
- gmail
- calendar
- contacts
- sms/mms
- phone
i can remember some times ago, there was a theard for a normal s3 without lte to replace that apps, but i cant find it again. in the past it was not possible to replace contacts and phone app, maybe now it is, but i would be very happy to replace the e-mail, calendar and sms/mms app again. so if this is possible, could someone from you guys provide the neccessary apk files?
i found this theard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964726&highlight=aroma - but im missing email, sms/mms, contacts and phone apk files.
many many thanks!

hi there,
for all who maybe have the same needs like me, here is a theard(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308) where you can chose a lot of stock google apps with a guide how to do that..
for me, i try it with messaging and e-mail app:
1. download the apps from the theard
2. rename the apps in secmms.apk, secemail.apd and secexchange.apk and copy it to your phone
3. go to you app manager and look for your email and exchange service app, delete the cache, delete the data and stop the apps
4. save the original apps .apk and .odex files in system/app and delete it after
5. copy the downloaded and renamed apps in system/app
6. be sure that the permissions are right
7. reboot and its done

[Q] Camera files

What are the files necessary for the camera to work?
It appears I deleted some vital files when deleting some bloatware (social networks share apps, etc).
I know I can just install the ROM again, but I want to try to avoid that.
Thanks
