How can I so that? Thanks
1. Use PC to unzip your ROM.
2. Extract the apps you want from system/app folder
3. Copy to sdcard
3. Use a root file explorer to copy or move to system/app directory on phone (mount r/w before paste)
4. Reboot into CWM recovery
5. Wipe cache and advanced/dalvik
6. Reboot
Or,
Just reflash ROM and no wipe. This will lose any themes and mods though.

It does not function, I choose the widgets and copy with root explorer to system/app, change permission as others apps has, restart phone but widgets does not apears in widgets....:-(. What am I doing wrong please?
You could modify the custom rom and add the apps you want then install the custom rom .
Open zip file with win rar System/apps add what you want .

Do you mean unzip rom in pc, insert apps and then again put to the phone?

Download custom rom to PC
Open rom with winrar but do not unzip just open .
Go to system double click to open
Go to Apps double click to open
Go to ADD and add each apk file .
Or even delete unwanted via delete button.
Close winrar copy zip to sd card and flash .
Above can be carried out with zip on sd card and mass storage usb connection also .

Hi!
I want to update apk's on my phone and I wonder if I take out apks, edit them (yeah I remember to decompile and compile) and put them in a update.zip, move it to my SD-card, boot into recovery and choose apply sd-card: update.zip (or something like that), will the apk files in the zip folder update the apk's with the same name on my phone?
I want to update apk files by flashing. Can I do that by following what I wrote above?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Simen
It should work. But u need to give in zip info about direction (eg. System/app) and permissions (for system apps)
And i think that u should use install .zip from sd card (or similar) not update.zip
Look here: Create your own UPDATE.ZIP maybe it helps u

if you only need to install, reinstall or repair your some application, then you only have to extract it, copy it to sd card and install it as a normally .apk. but if it a system apk, you have to push it by using an explorer that can access system file, e.g Root Explorer.
I guess it's not a flashable zip. it's a firmware with .ftf extention inside the .rar.
so you can't install it by CWM, you have to flash it by flashtool. CMIIW
erm..i dnt know..but i couldn't find any .tft file inside..lots of folder..bt sure is,thr lots of .apk files too..
so..how??=.=
wait a minute, I'm downloading it to see the file.

those were system files from your phone that have been extracted from ICS rom...what you see in the system files is the same as in your phone...those system files is good backup in case you decided to remove/edit any system files (bloatware)....
those system files is not for normal install...you have to use Root Explorer to copy and paste it to your phone system files if you want get back the files you have remove before this....
remember you need to change permission for those files (rw-r-r)....

agree with this...
just like I posted above, you have to push it manually to /system/app .
how to convert gingerbread ftf file to zip? gingerbread not ics thanks!
Take a previously made zip (any rom zip)
Now use the tutorial by gektheboss to extract system folder from ftf file
Once u have the system folder replace the system folder of zip wid the one u extracted using 7zip software
Now u need to modify the updater script present in meta-inf folder as per ur system apps
Once done. ... Flash it
Make sure not to damage the updater script or else u will get status 6 error
As I promised...this is the link for stock systemUI
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zinu7eheugac2fz/SystemUI.apk?dl=0
For installing this apk use a root explorer to find system/app ...then put inside it app folder n restart the system...that's it...
And this is for kernel
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmasdzcnz7ixt7f/boot.img?dl=0
But the kernel is .img format...i did not convert it to .zip..i take this file from my backup..so whom wanted to flash it...just keep the boot.img inside the backup folder n flash it....enjoy
thanks
