I see a lot of Roms have a pull up app. I would like to add this in to stock ROM. I tried pulling the apk out of a ROM and putting it in the appropriate folder, fixing permissions and rebooting with no luck. Can anyone give me some pointers in how I can add this in?

There is not much that i miss about the stock apps on the Fascinate. However, I must say that I do miss the awesome music widget that you can pull down the CD (with album art on it) from the top of the screen. Do you think it's possible to port this over to use?
I have tried taking the apk and odex files from the stock rom and placing them into /system/app but it does not work. I'm not sure if voodoo's new ext4 file format is causing permission issues or what, but either way i haven't been able to get it working. Anyone have any ideas on this? If not, anyone up for porting over the app

Are you on JT's rom? if so don't use an apk with an odex, his system is deodex'ed.
Try the following apk, it should work.
I get "application not installed" when I try to install it. Could it be because there is already a Music app called "Music" on Jt's rom?

That is a system file. You can't just install it. You need to replace the original file with that one with adb or root explorer (or something similar).

adb pull /system/apps/musicplayer.apk
backup that version, copy new version into its place.
adb push musicplayer.apk /system/apps/
?? is that how you would do it? or is that even where it is?
I think it's /system/app
regardless, i have tried this and every time i do it my phone goes to black screen after the VZW screen. It will just sit there. Then when I go back and put the original .apk back in place...it boots right up and works. I have a friend trying to go back to the touchwiz calendar who has the exact same problem. Neither of us can figure it out.

Here flash this through CW and see if it still gives you a black screen.
that worked can you make one for the touchwiz calendar apk too? I'd love to know what you did to make it and what the difference is so i can do it myself.
The one part that stinks is that the widget on the lockscreen is a feature of TouchWiz lockscreen, as it's not work on stock. Once I flashed the puzzle lock it worked.
So trying to mod com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk, but having a couple of issues with getting it to sign. Realized I needed to or else widgetlocker disappears on reboot. Before describing my problem, a quick question.
Question: Pushing the modified apk won't solve this issue, right? The apk needs to be signed.
From what I've read, I figure I still need to sign the apk. I've tried using APKManager (in which it says adb is not recognized) and a script posted by st0kes, but both to no avail.
Attached are screenshots hopefully highlighting my problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
how do you add different icons into the status bar
Use an app called metamorph. You can modify the framework...and that's the status bar icons
Tbolt meatclaws via talkatap
Go to uot.dakra.lt/kitchen and make one for yourself. You can edit the colors and much more. All you need is your ROMs framework-res.apk.
Get the framework.apk from the rom your using (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) and from the theme that has the icons you want, then use 7-zip to get into the framework res apk / drawable (drawable-hdpi) folder and swap out the .png files that you want to change. Make sure the new file has the same name as the one you are replacing.
You'll have to copy the .png files onto your desktop to view them and get familiar with the apk folders, it's not difficult.
Close the framework-res.apk in 7-zip, no need to re-sign it, and push it back onto your phone.
reboot.
or Ninjamorph.

I had no idea there was a kitchen like this available without the nasty coding.
Thanks very much!
do you have to be rooted to use this
OK I just tried this. After I flashed the .zip I got a TON of force closes from various places. Browser, google search, some others, right when the phone booted. I followed the directions and extracted and uploaded my ROM. the only options I wanted to flash were the circle battery and the bootanimation. The bootanimation and circle battery did show up, but after it booted there were just way too many force closes.
Can anyone help on what I need to do?
First thing I always do out of habit is go into CW, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, then reinstall my zip. Takes care of most FC issues.

I want to try the UOT Kitchen but I can't confirm if the stock TB rom is odexed or deodexed. I am a newb, been looking for an answer, but I can't find one.
**UPDATE** So I been browsing my rom files and ive seen some .odex files. I think this means its an odexed rom and can't be used with the kitchen. Is that correct?
all confusing to me! haha
I have done quite a few mods to the graphics in the Framework, including the battery one here. My question is that every time I push the framework back and reboot. I have to re-setup a few things (i.e. passwords) and clear contacts and resync. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help anyone may have.
Stock rom is odex. You can download plainjane rom that is deodex stock and rooted.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I recently installed Simplicity 1.5 (JVT odexed) on my phone, and also touchwiz 4.5. However, I cannot access live wallpapers at all. Now I know Simplicity rom doesn't include them as default, so I used the add on creator to put in the livewallpaperpicker.apk & .odex via cwm but still no joy (it appeared to unpack the files but I can't add a wallpaper - they either forceclose or say the option isn't available). I then tried pushing both files into the system/app folder on my phone, which it has done successfully, but even after a reboot - still no live wallpapers.
I'm not sure if it's TW4.5 that's causing the problem or simplicity, but I think it may be the former. I've checked in the system/app folder and both files are there, but trying to install the apk via my phone just results in the 'not installed' message. Any assistance would be kindly appreciated.
Thanks!
Well I've removed touchwiz 4.5 and still am not able to install live wallpapers, so it must be something to do with simplicity rom I guess. It's a shame, because it seems to be a really nice rom, and I know from reading the developers thread that other people appeared to have been able to install the live wallpapers via the add on creator so not really sure what I'm doing wrong...
Update: Well installing all of the missing files from Simplicity (linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18268152&postcount=1695) seems to have sorted out the problem. The CWM mentions something about permissions when installing - you don't get that message using the stand alone add on creator created zip so I guess it could be something to do with that. I purposefully didn't go this route because the only thing I wanted to install was the live wallpapers, but hopefully I should just be able to delete the other apps that I don't need.
Thanks for everyone who read, I'm posting my solution in case anyone else stumbles across this problem.
yeh had the same problem with the latest 2.1.0, worked a treat after restoring the missing apps. cheers
I have the same problem.I cant see the live wallpapers menu.
I downloaded the zip file from the link above that contains all the removed apps but it didnt work.
What should I do? I installed the visulizationwallpapers.apk but didnt fix the problem.
The other .odex file cant run.
Any ideas?

For deleting unwanted apps just open the zip file, navigate to /system/app and wipe out all apks/odex files you don't need.
CWM Recovery have an option to fix permissions - give it a try
Are you using 1.5 or 2.1? Let me know if this works for you.
Ive never had any trouble themeing an android. Well until now! The problem is that evey time i install the files my cyanogen mod settings crash when i try to open them, and nothing in the "about phone" section of my settings displays what it is supposed to. Im using gingerxperia v22. I moved the icons into the .apk's with 7zip after some hours of looking and resizing. SystemUI, Settings, Phone, and framework-res are the files im trying to edit. Ive tried pushing them with adb, root explorer, and made an update.zip and flashed it with cwm. Same problem no matter how i load them in my phone. I can even change the files back to the original and the problem persists. Ive done a restore and everything is back to normal. But i want my theme to work. Anybody have a insight as to what i might be doing wrong?
