Arc Software needs certain things that non-lg roms don't have. Therefore you can't install it.

Same, I can get it to sorta work... it just won't do anything (how is that working??) -- lol, it loads up to the Music / Video screen and then refuses to continue.

The ArcSoft package contains the ArcSoft folder from /system/3rd_party and some libs in /system/lib (like libarc???.so). No luck for me too, maybe some more files missing. If anyone could do, I would be really thankful to him

I think there's something in the framework of stock roms it relies on, I can get it to install and load (after some nasty hacks), but it seems unable to actually function (Log just spits out "Application already in focus ignoring..." )
... But don't think I've given up, this is one of the few items on my "wish list" for SwiftDroid

Can you elaborate a bit further? -- It was easy enough to "hack" the apk to allow it to install, and it loads up... just kinda doesn't actually do it's thing. (log is no help here sadly)

It'll have stuff deeply encoded into random libs or something. You know what LG are like. It's like porting the FM radio

I got it try getting the Lib file and the APK

I think the .so files in the lib folder lets you install some apps and games depending on the Install Codes in the .so files, apps and the Games
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
The arc files are in random Locations and i think you need to get the LG GT540's Package Installer from /system/app/package installer.apk the permissions for the apk are
Owner R/W
Group R
Others R
I hope this helps ;D

Which apk, or lib, or whatever is this found in (Changed the sense version from 2.1.. to 3.0.. in rosie.apk and didnt fix the issue)? Its bugging the crap out of me as im working on my own pyramid/kingdom mashup rom for the desire hd/inspire 4g.
This is one of the items on my list of things I still need to address, and i'd rather not waste time on such a mundane thing as its apparently already been fixed in both the rcmix port and the new unity port.
I just need someone to steer me in the right direction.
As far as finding it in the code... i'll do that myself.
It is not found in a apk or lib file, but rather in an xml file. Let me search which.
Edit: After looking through xml files in the Sense 2.1 ROM I'm running I couldn't find it. I'll try again tomorrow once I got my Linux box on and I get some sleep.

Thanks mate, I havent found it in any of the xml's that are just lying about in the builds, I havent started using the kitchen yet myself (just setting it up now on ubuntu 11.04), so far its all been using apk manager, and just parsing code, and familiarizing myself with nitty gritty, parsing and editing code. I've already gotten a few gray hairs from frustration. lol
Have a look in strings.xml in Settings.apk
I don't have the phone or a ROM as a reference on me, but you should be able to work out how to set it by starting from strings.xml in Settings and working backwards, if you know what I mean.
If not, upload the file (Settings.apk) for me and I'll have a look for you.
will check it out, thnx
Its a build.prop edit look in system/build.prop

Hopefully not with that attitude.
if you would give your thread a proper name and tell us what you want to do and what rom and kernel you use someone could probably help you but the way you did it, no.
Im sick of repeating myself, I have made numurous posts giving full info.
Im on revolution 2.0.0, kernal XXK14.
I want to know how do I go to System/Apps and look for odex files so see what the **** I am plus why nothing I install from the kitchen ever works...... Im fed up

and again I find my self at one of your abusive threads boy this is fun, you said your own a custom rom so why not here is a long shot go to the rom thread take a look and ask in there, and stop being a foul mouthed short tempered prick because frankly you may be making my evening quite fun but you aint going to get any help, and the problems you having with the kitchen maybe be something to do with you needing to be spoon fed information.
And no wear in this thread have you made "numerous" posts saying what rom you are on, except the one post you made after *****ing like a twat again.

What question? There's only one question; "What am I missing?".
A few braincells? Some manners? Some basic grammar? Self-control mechanisms?

Taken from the Checkrom forum post I suggest you read about the rom you are using before making posts like this one again.
In regards to the kitchen make sure you are set to the correct server if its set to the old Revolution ROM 2.7.1 i would take a stab and say they wont work since they are built for XXKI3.
Also try removing cached packages from kitchen pro preferences.
Base XXKI4
Multi CSC
Deodexed
Zipaligned
no increasing ring for Phone.apk
resolv.conf added for faster gps lock
Much Improved an optimal Init.d scripts
Updated DK Engine for the upcoming kernel!
Tweaks to build.prop
JkayV12.1
Minor bug's fixed
smoothness to the core
Included libsqlite.so and libsqlite_ini.so from Android 2.3.7 (improves performance)
Included app_process and system_server from Android 2.3.7 (improves scrolling)
Included sqlite3
Maps.apk to v5.11 with global Navigation (ownhere/Brut.all)
added .salted_hash in sdcard/clockworkmod
So im wondering, when I edit a system apk this is the process I use:
Open apk with 7zip, I dont extract.
Replace all png's I want to and exit.
Simple yes? Heres the problem. How do I edit AndroidManifest.xml and add it back in? I can get the xml un-encyrpted and edit it but do I need to make the file encypted again before I put it back?
Any comments/suggestions welcomed
Thanks!

Possibly the best way I can answer that is by pointing you in this direction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849223
This is a very handy guide to fiddling with your system apps and will not only answer your question but may answer questions you didn't even know you had..
Wow thanks, just what I needed, I had a feeling I had to decompile/recompile it then move the files into the existing one. You'd think they made these things simple huh? XD

Oh, but this is simple. Relatively, at least. You just wait until you start having to write smali..
I just had a look, its pretty overwhelming. I code php though so its not that bad. I know the challenges ahead

Oh really?? I used to do a lot of C++ back in the day so I'm okay with java but then it starts going over my head a bit. When I'm next in the mood to hack into the code of our little machine, I may end up stalking you mercilessly..
How do you start to theme a ROM? I want to theme Padawan v5 with permission ofc. Can you do it with windows?

Yup, in fact you might prefer it because of the existence of a tiny little photo editing program perhaps you've heard of it, photo shop.
You'll need a hex editor program I suggest notepad++
You need java runtime environment installed and in your environmental variables path.
Then you can install the android sdk for adb.
Now, you'll need an apk compilation tool.
Once you're able to decompile and recompile an apk without any changes and there's no errors you're ready to begin the fun.
The main 2 files used in a system theme are
/sytem/app/systemui.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
The images are located /res/drawable-xhdpi of each apk....for stock dpi anyhow
Other things will be hex values in xmls
I think I'll keep buying them from the market. . .

Adb is the android debugging bridge
Xml is a file extension type containing plain text entries and hex color codes, then compiled into the resource.arsc within an apk, you'll need to decompile the apk to edit with notepad++

Sorry for me being so annoying but what is a .9 image? How can you tell?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
The image will have a .9 on the end of the name. They at harder to theme. You have to take care to not alter the black edges or you will break the image and the theme will not compile.

So the .9 pngs have a black edge that you can't go over or else it will break? I just use colorize>then I make it red
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
The black edges in A .9.png tell the os how to stretch the image properly in landscape mode.
If those single pixel wide lines are not exactly the same when you compile it will error and break the apk.
At first DON'T DO A HUGE BATCH OF .9.pngs, cause if you do like 50 images and you messed up 1 it's really hard to pin down which one it was.
Do a few, compile, do a few more, compile, and so on until you're done.
I would suggest leaving the .9 images for last.
Try some of the other images. Compile and install your theme. That way you can see what your doing and if you like it. The .9 images ... You will want to use the square selector tool in gimp to surround only the image ...never the black lines. Then edit the image.
I always do a few images and test ..you may think something looks good on pc ..then find it looks different on the phone.
Ooh, and if your married...be prepared for "the look" from her .. That will let you know when you've worked long enough.
