Hi All,
This may be an incredibly stupid question...
I have installed both the Gingerbread Rom and Iridium Rom and like both of them. However, there are some apps added that I have no use for.
Can I just take the apk's for these apps out of the update.zip or is that going to cause it to fail the flash?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jonathan
if you mean themes I asked the same and was told i can delete all apps from custom rom without any problems (or even delete all system/app folder)
I guess apps in custom rom are just skinned, so there's no real need to install them
Please post question in the general section.
Ahh, apologies for posting in the wrong place.
Thanks for the info, I'll take out the ones I don't need.

Hi guys,
Maybe it is not the right place for this question, but I got the feeling that only few people are reading other places of the Prophet forum.
So here is my problem and question:
Instead of installing all my apps one by one after a new rom or a hard reset, I am thinking of including the apps into the extended rom folder. My question is "what may be the size of the extended rom folder?"
thx, all answers will be appreciated

Read the Wm6 Update guide. It can't be bigger than the base extrom image provided in the update package.
Edit : Gullum was faster
question
Hi Gullum and HMA4
Thanks for your quick answer. May I ask you another question, since you are maybe the most experienced guys on this forum. When you have typed texts for some time, some of you own words are added somewhere and these words are also suggested while typing. However, when you update your rom or simply hard reset your device, these added words are gone from the word suggestion list. When I restore a backup the list is back. My question is where can I find my personal added words? Maybe you can save them and restore them to use with a new rom.
thx again guys
I searched in the forum, but it seems to be no present a tutorial forcooking a custom ROM.
I've got a GalaxyS, i flash many ROM and i've to install apps everytime...boring! So I wonder if is it possible to modify a custom ROM to add/remove apps for instance.
I'm a java developer, but I've got no experience with Linux... Is it a problem?
Could someone post a kind of guide to learn how to moify a ROM?

its because we have touchwiz.
if we had stock android, it would be much easier developing
Well I have an evo and I too am looking for a tutorial to cook roms. I have no developing experience and just want to learn.

You can modify:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons, or even the whole app.
You can add/remove/replace .apk's, located in /system/app
services.jar
Much, much more.
If you're on Linux, you can unpack the .apk's out of the box. Otherwise, install 7zip.
Once you're done modifying them.

Hello. I tried a couple of mods for SXU from "Modds and Apps" main thread, but not everything works fine. Can anybody tell me on what I have to look before flashing mods?
I especially need change the way of typing the number - with the prompts from contacts. I know that this question don't need a new thread but i cant posting in developers thread.
I want to make my own custom ROM. But I want to deodex the system.
I found a tool for demodex. I tried to do all odex wiped.
I made it into zip and added in the other files. I've installed from twrp.
A seamless manner. But the opening is taking reset itself?
Do I need to do anything after he turned to deodex plus? Please my English is bad I'm sorry.
Please don't make duplicate threads, I've already replied to your other thread.
Making multiple threads won't help you/get people to answer you faster, it'll probably have the opposite effect.
