Hello everyone.
I cooked a ROM for tablet P4DV3 and I can not add data/app to get my favorite applications.
I put multiple applications on system/app, and many do not start the rom, so I put them in data/app to see if it works.
You know something?
Thx all.
Hi is my updater-script.

Use dsixda's Android Kitchen and run your ROM through that and select the option for enabling /data/app and then add your apps to there. The Kitchen will also properly handle your updater script.

Hi all
I would like to know how to delete the app2sd option in the .zip of villainRom 12.0.

I tried to delete the "data" repertory, sign the rom, but can't flash
Thx in advance for help

You can remove/disable app2sd by removing the following file:
/system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd
so if i delete this file, i can too delete the data repertory, containing all the app2sd elements isn't it?
Thx for your help !!
edit: i deleted the file in /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd and the data repertory , and during the flash, the phone said me can't chown "data" etc repertory....
it seems i must delete another thing to tell to the phone that there is no missing repertory...but which one..?
Why? It's built into the kernel that was custom developed for the rom.
There is no notable overhead or space that you can recover. I can't think of any legitimate reason to remove it that would benefit your user experience.
If you simply want to learn how to do it though speaking as a developer who's learning how to build your own rom, maybe it would be easier to look at a less customized rom than vr12.
Does someone know where the developer docs for apps2sd are for this person to get his answer from?

hi dkelley
the problem is that in the data/app directory, the applications dont want to install them if i dont have an ext2 partition
but i must let at least one app in this folder , because if not, he will deseapear automatically and during the flash, the phone will tell me that the "app" directory is missing..
and the application in the folder don't appear in the list of my apps, whereas that it should be installed on the internal memory..
Moved to Q&A as not development
hey guys,
im having a difficult time trying to install a different version of swype on the phone.
i have deleted the original apk using root explorer and tried to install the latest one (the one that has 19 languages because it supports my language also). i tryed installing it using adb but it gave me install failuire, i tried installing it from the sd card using root explorer but it asked me if i want to replace the current one an it gave me a application not installed message. the thing is i deleted the old swype apk....
how can i install this new one??
i would really apreciate any help!!
did you backup your old swype apk ? should have pulled it using ADB
i prob would have opened them both up and checked the changes in the packages, pulled your original one, opened it in winrar, not extract, added or changed the files, closed and pushed back onto your device.
however, you will need to add permissions to certain folders using root explorer to be able to do this
if you want the swype apk from a UK, international version i can pull and upload for you

EDIT: sorry about that
Careful I believe posting swype files is against XDA policy
Anyone know how to get Fascinate apps to install on our Vibrants?
I pulled several apks from the Fascinate system dump, but I don't know how to install them. Regular installation fails ('Application not installed')
I tried copying the apks/odex files into system/app via root explorer and got stuck in a boot loop. I then tried just copying over the apks, and no boot loop but also no installation.
Here is a link to the system dump for anyone who knows what they're doing to take a look:

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
It would help to know what apps you want from the fascinate?
Installing likely doesn't work because the samsung signature may be different in the shared.uid for the vibrant and the fascinate, and I believe you'd need to de-odex the apps before being able to just do a push/copy to the /system/app directory.
Good luck though, cheers

Thanks for the response. I primarily want the clock widgets from the fascinate. If I de-odex the apps, would I have to de-odex my rom (running stock) in order to push them into the app directory?

all apps from the galaxy s series are basically interchangeable. ie tw launcher and all samsung widgets. they just have to be deodexed versions of the apks.

great! thanks for your input. you are absolutely right.
here is a link to fascinate deodexed files for anyone else who wants the fascinate widgets on their vibrants (credit goes to 3083joe for deodexing the files):
http://www.androiddoes.net/jwilson/fascinateDI01_Deodex_CW.zip
take the apk files from the app folder (of the deodexed file above) and copy to system/app on your phone via root explorer -- change permissions to match other system apps -- reboot for good measure and that should be it.
Why is it 86Mbs? That's HUGE.

For installing ur SmartShare apps, you need to copy that apk in your /system/app folder and give the permission "rw-r--r--" and just reboot your phon..
This work for you..no need to access /system/data folder for installing apk.

No need to say thanks, you only just pressed "THANKS" button..

Did you put the .apk in that folder or did you run the installer? Typically the installer will install to the /data/app folder then use either Titanium backup or ES File Manager to make it a "System app". Also some apps from stock ROM's do not work on custom ROM's, EX. The HTC weather app will not work on the AOSP ROM I am using now (most likely missing dependencies) and this can be the case with your ROM too
Need your help folks..
So I have 4 APK and I want to merge them into 1 APK for installation, but when installing it will be back into 4 different application. Is there any way to do this? Thanks
This should be possible in theory, It could be done by decompiling the app and merging them all together and creating different app-drawer references in there. But this creates a few problems regarding deleting one of the apps, once you delete 1 you delete all. The same story goes for updating them, if you want to update an app you should rebuild the whole crazy app configuration. You might be better of creating an ADB script or even a pm (package manager) script to automate installing apps.
