When I try to flash the stockclock.zip file using the new CWM it says that Amend scripting is no longer supported. Does anybody know how I would could get this installed?
Open the zip file usin astro file manager. Copy the clock.apk (might be named deskclock.apk) then place it in your sdcard where you know Where its located. Use root explorer to copy it to the system/app directory. Rename your old clock.apk to something like clock.bak in case you ever need to go back to it.

Thanks. Did that. And it was called "ClockPackage.apk" in case anybody was wondering.

Hello to all...!!!
Today I flashed my first custom ROM (void) on my LG P500 and as a noob I have some questions...
1) Where can I find some LG programms (memo and calendar) and the other LG widgets? I mostly interested in widgets "Weather","Calendar","Analog Clock" and "News and weather"
2) Is it possible to have the LG Keyboard on SMS app on this custom ROM which has only the Gingerbread keyboard?
3) When I had the stock ROM I had made a backup with "Titanium Backup" all my apps and I have it saved in my PC.Can restore in custom ROM only the apps which I want?
Thanks in advance....
For 1 and 2 download this: http://sinap.se/oo/void-sapps.zip and apply in recovery.
For 3 the answer is yes, you can restore which app you want.
Thanks you...!
One more question,I don't want to flash back every deleted system app but some of them.How can I do this?
Of course I don't want appadvisor,Car Home and some other crupps...
extract just the app that you want an put the in them data/app folder you need root file manager or from adb
ΟΚ,I'll try it and I will be back....
Thank you!
With the "File Manager" of void ROM,I can't copy-paste the apps into system/app .
What can I do for this?

Yes, you can.
Anyway, if you extract the files from void-sapps.zip you will see 2 folders. One of the is "system", inside of it, another called "app" there are the ".apk's" that you need corresponding to widgets and programs.
The "News and weather" widget is called "GenieWidget".
You can extract the ones you like to the root of your SD and then, from the File Manager in the phone, install them one by one.
before i've said that you had to have root file manager to copy and paste in system/app
or as Noejn says : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281
No, you have to re-sign it. Use a program like this one.
Tutorial: How to flash only some sapps
1. Grab the sapps/gapps package
2. Extract it
3. Go to the extracted folder "/system/app/" and delete the applications you don't want to flash
4. Use the above program (zipsigner) to create a CROM.zip, put the extracted files there so you have 2 folders on the root of the zip: META-INF and SYSTEM. Then sign it and it should create a CROM-s.zip.
5. Rename the CROM-s.zip to MySapps.zip, put it in sdcard and flash.

Right, that make sense (to me) if I want to install most of them and leave out just one or two. What about if I only want just -one- widget from the void-sapps.zip?
Isn't better to uncompress void-sapps.zip and take that one out and put it on the SD card, then install it from there?
yes is right what you say but sometimes (for some lg's app) this method don't work

I almost have found what I wanted from sapps zip,but I search for the stock internet browser.Which one of these is that?
I appreciate a lot your help!
I'm trying to change the icon in my status bar that is displayed when i'm playing rhapsody. i've modified the notification icons in the .apk that i found in data/app. I created a .zip using the structure /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. in the main folder where META-INF resides i have a folder called data and inside that i have the modified com.rhapsody-1.apk. my updater script is as follows:
ui_print("Applying my update";
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data";
package_extract_dir("app", "/data/app";
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data";
i zipped everytihng up, put it on the root of my sd card. I then used zipsigner2 (from the market) to sign the .zip. Rebooted to recovery, made a back up, navigated to install the .zip from the sd card, flashed and it looked like it was working but the last line of the script simply said "installation aborted". Any help or guidance on where i'm failing here would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!
Swyped Thunder coming at you
inside data you should have app then your apk so inside the zip should be meta-inf/com/whatever and data/app/com.rhapsody-1.apk or you could save yourself the trouble and just put the apk on your sd card then copy it to data/app with a file manager because your update script doesnt look quite right either

i don't know if this will help, but when i made a custom boot animation for my phone, the bootanimation.zip file had to be zipped as "storage." 7-Zip (for sure) and other programs have this option.
This is just a guess, as I've only ever messed around with boot animations myself.
Uninstall First
I am assuming you repackaged the rhapsody app...
If this is the case, you need to uninstall Rhapsody before installing your repackaged version.
If the digital signatures don't match you can't install\update the app.
CM7 had the same problem with OI File Manager.
For example, I want to extract, say, movie studio and convert it to an apk that I can use in another rom. Does ne1 know how to do this?

if you want to extract the apk file from your tab, then you need to be rooted. if so then you can copy files from /system/app/ folder to sd card using File Manager HD or any other file manager which has root access.

^ This. If the apk is dependent on a framework, be sure to include it in a ROM that has the framework it needs.
Hello
How can i get back "AllShare Play" for my Galaxy S3? I installed another firmware and a rom and don't really know when it was deleted. I tried to find a solution but I couldn't find anything to solve the problem.
Cance
Go find a Stockish Rom that still has the bloatware........and just extract the System/app folder and put the apks that you want back into your current system/app folder.
Yeh useful tools are bloatware
Thanks for the fast answer but I don't know how to extract the folder when I have a ROM with the needed APK. Can I do this on my computer or do I have to do this on my phone?
Download the Rom to your phone or Computer.
Extract the Rom using a File explorer on your phone or a 7zip/winzip program on your PC and go through the folders...Find the
System/App folder it will be filled with every system app you can need......pick out the apks you want to add into your current set up.
save them to a folder and put them back on your phone....or if on your phone just copy them from the extracted location and navigate back to your Local System/App folder, make the Folder R/W so you can add and remove the system files.....and just paste them back in your current system folder overwriting the current ones. and set the premission to match the rest of the folder most of the time i think its rw-r-r
and reboot. sounds long.....but it only takes me 2 min to copy and replace the files and reboot.
its really simple once you do it a couple times.
hope this helps
Thank you very much, didn't know that it is this easy. I never opened the zip file of a rom ^^
What's the name of the apk? I don't see an obviously named app?
I have a rooted Galaxy M Style phone with stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware. I am trying to customize my stock camera app, but am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I plan to replace the autofocus_ok.ogg with a different tune from my phone. I checked the properties of the autofocus_ok.ogg and saw it's a mono, 44100hz, and 96 bitrate file. The tune that I have has the same properties. So this is what I have done so far:
I backed up camera.apk to /system/app/camera.apk.bak and the camera.odex to /system/app/camera.odex.bak. I left a copy of camera.odex in /system/data. I copied the camera.apk to my memory card and placed the file on my computer. I renamed the file to a .rar. I then deleted the autofocus_ok.ogg and placed the tune that I wanted in that directory. Then I renamed it to autofocus_ok.ogg. I renamed the file back to .apk and transferred the file back to the memory card, then over to /system/app. The camera app will not install/not showing up on my phone. I am transferring the files through root explorer on my phone.
I worked with the original apk file again with apktool. I was able to decompile and replaced and renamed the files that I needed again. I compiled the file and transferred the file to /system/app again, but the apk will still not install. I checked the complied apk file and noticed that the file didn't have the META-INF folder, so I copied that over to. Tried to install it again by copying the file to /system/app, but it still won't show up on my phone. Is there anyway for me to change the autofocus_ok.ogg without a custom rom?
Thanks.

erm... is the permissions set correctly rw-r--r-- ?

Yup, permissions were set correctly like rw-r--r--. Owner is root:root. Those are the permission that I set on the apk file like they were on the original file. I just realized that the compiled apk's from apktools doesn't show up on my phone. The apk that I created by opening up winrar and just replacing the .ogg files do show up, but I get the error "The application Camera (process com.sec.android.app.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Anything else I can try or a thread to refer to?

why dont you try to push the modified apk manually using root explorer or so instead of pushing via adb ..
after decompiling apk and modifying it, compile it into some folder and then copy it into you sd card then use root explorer and manually push(copy) the apk into system/app .. give proper permissions and then reboot your phone..
Here are some guides to use apktool

I have been pushing the modified apk through root explorer all this time. I don't even have adb install, haha. The procedure you explained have been the way I have been doing it the whole time, lol. I read the threads you posted and the procedure is the same as I've been doing it, except for the second thread. I can't grab the apktool from 4shared because I don't have an account. I am using the latest apktool 1.5.2. Also, I didn't understand what PulseDroid was talking when he said "We are NOT done just yet, we cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk". So I'm suppose to replace the resources.arcs and the .ogg files that I created from the new apk to the old apk? I didn't mess with any xml file.
Anyways, is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: ........I feel so embarrassed. I checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378177 and saw this post "Drag your replacement files into WinRAR and (here's the important part) in the Compression Method drop-down choose "Store"." All this time I have been compressing the file as "Normal" in Winrar, instead of "Store".
All in all, I did not need apktool at all. I used the original apk and opened it up in Winrar. I deleted the files that I wanted to replaced and put in the files that I wanted. Each time I put something in the file in Winrar I get a prompt for compression and instead of "Normal" compression just use "Store". It was that simple.
This helped me, thank you!
