Hi friends..
I am using a Custom Rom..
And i edited some parts of it..
For example : Deleted google maps , talk and some unusefull apps. And added another applications to ROM memory another launcher , keyboard , messaging app and some apps which i use everyday important apps for me..
So now i am asking can i make my system a Custom ROM..
like other Custom Roms a zip file install it by CWM..
( I am not talking about Backup and Restore .. )
I need it because i like using different ROMs and it s hard when go back to use my best custom ROM have to install my usefull applications again.. If i can add my usefull applications in to a ROM it will be really great for me )
Hope someone can solve my question and explain it clearly..
Thx friends...
Yes you can.. Use 7zip to drag and drop ur apks or Delete files from Flashable zip of ur ROM...
BUT.. dont delete any apk that your ROM cant run without...
Default APK
So you mean i cant change any default application ?
I mean i don't want Original Touchwiz launcher, keyboard can't i change defaults ?

Or i want to make ROM what i am using now..
Not Backup..
definitly yes, you can personalize your rom before installation, refer to this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
I think JJ meant that if you have a custom ROM made by someone you can open the zip file and modify the apk that are in the /system/app/ folder.
Following that idea... for example if I delete from a custom made ROM browser.apk and replace it with opera, I just put the apk there with any name or rename opera to browser.apk to make sure it installs correctly. So, if I delete an apk from a custom ROM do I have to replace it with an apk of the same name?
Btw, thanks for the "kitchen" link .

only those applications (apks) that have 3rd party alternate available can be replaced with your own custom apks... E.g, you can deletes browser.apk ...and without changing name you can add opera.apk... The OS will recognize automatically opera.apk as new browser..
Some applications don't have a 3rd party replacement such as settings.apk, systemui.apk.. you can't delete those... But you can replace them with modded ones of same version of fw without changing names...
thx

The File you need is "jobmanager.apk" and it´s placed in \system\app

do i need any other files ? (i'm not sure but maybe the word is "dependancies" )
I think not, but there is a widget also but I can not tell what the Name is..
I think it does need touchwiz framework... after all it displays on home long press.
do u mean touchwiz.xml file ? or the touchwiz framework itself ?
If you want it for stock rom then only it wotks otherwise it will not work on cm at any coast
First, my rom is Stock Lite v6(the best I used so far). I wanted to install the mod(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581428)
but when i do, my top bar disappears. I was told that this is due to the existing of another 14 toogle mod that i have,so I followed the suggestion to:
1. remove quickpanelsettings.apk from system/app folder and delete lidroid-res.apk from system/framework folder.
2. flash new version of toggles mod
I have tried and it´s still not working. I tried to ask in my rom topic and in the mod topic and no answer was given to me. I know it should work and It must be something that I'm doing wrong, just didn't want to insist(spam) so I'm trying to get my answer here. Sorry if it's stupid. Thank you
ps:the same problem appears when i try to install the updated version of my 14toogles

to remove 14 toggle mod, u need original systemui.apk from ur stock rom. Not just remove quickpanelsetting.apk and lidroid.apk. Because in that systemui.apk, it contains modded smali files. That's the main thing of 14 toggles mod.

Ask the rom creator to give you the systemui file without the 14 toggles mod.

Can anyone help me please?
You try these (i got the 14 toggles, but it crashed a little bit too often and removed it)
1)Look for systemui.apk and framework-res.apk inside the StockLitev6 zip file. Replace both apps in your system/framework and system/apps folders using Root Explorer (maybe backup first?), reboot. Then flash the 14-toggles and its fix again (in the stocklite thread).
2)You can try getting a flashable zip from UOT kitchen with StockLiteV6 original systemui.apk and framework-res.apk (without mods applied) so you can reflash the original status bar any time, and also its great to mess with the framework-res.apk graphics.
3) Last resource, reflash EVERYTHING
i really like that keyboard very convenient for me. please help!

Needed things to make working original SE keyboard:

in /system/libs: libXT9.so and maybe libtouchpal.so (not sure)
in /system/usr: xt9 folder what contains dictionary files (a lot of SEMC_????????_xt9.ldb file)
No need framework I'm on the road now, cant make .zip, but this is not hard, everybody can copy these files from SDE rom.

No dude..
To work need my update files
The problem in my update was textinput-tng.apk
why?
because the apk use xperia resources framework
if someone can emblem and cyanogen to(resources.arcs) maybe can be workable
If your bootloader is unlockable,flash the latest SDE to enjoy,if not sorry..
This keyboard works for CM9 and CM10 . Could someone port it for GB?

How i can edit on a custom rom , i mean how to change some apps or themes or anything ?
I would recommend you first install the program 7zip. With this program you can simply unzip the package as ROM. Expanding applications can also do this program.
Individual editing applications can be found around the web. Try use button search and uncle google.
Good luck.
sorry for my english

Hi Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like “ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
Credit goes to my friend dewanshu93 for teaching me this by personally
Credit Why So Serious? For the Icons
(And Sorry For My Bad English)
Tools Needed:-
(a) One PC
(b) 7 zip
(c) Some good icons
STEPS:-
1) Get some cool icons from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207136 and save it ur PC. Give him big thanks for the work.
Edit:- If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons means go here: - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216289 Please give thanks for his work..
2) Put the apps u want to change the icons to a Folder in ur PC. For example SemcAlbum, Phonebook, Browser etc
3) Here I am taking the Phonebook app for Example..
4) Right Click the Phonebook apk -> Open With -> 7zip File Manager. Then U will get a box contained some files like the attached Image 1
5) Then double click on the res folder and u get another box like attached Image 2
6) Find the folder named “ drawable-xhdpi “ and open it. U will get This Image 3
7) And most important thing is u need to find the original icon and its name of the phonebook.apk or whatever apk u take …
8) For that an easy way is create a new folder in ur PC’s Desktop and select all the images from the box ( Image 3 ) then drag it to the that new folder in the desktop.
9)Then open that folder then search for original the apk icon. Look in to Image 4
10) In my case the name of the Phonebook.apk’s icon is “ic_launcher_contacts “. So just note down the icon name and then open the folder that contains the icons that u downloaded. Image 5
11) And choose which icon u need and select it. Then rename it to the exact name of the original apk icon. ( For example ic_launcher_contacts )
12) After that just drag that renamed icon to res/drawable-xhdpi. It will ask for over right. Press Ok or Yes. Do the same process for res/drawable-hdpi and drawable-mdpi. Means drag the icon to these folders too. That’s it. Copy the apk to ur phone and move it to the System/app with correct permission…
Check the lastly Attached Two images for ur refference .
U can do it with almost all the apks. But I cant guarantee that it will work with all apks. Some System apks did not worked for me…
And also u can take icos from other apks too..
And this is my first work in XDA. Any mistake is there means I am sorry…
Thanks....

Actually u will not get automatic backup when u downloading any apps from playstore. For that u need any backup apps. Ultimate backup will done the job. Install ultimate backup from playstore first. Open it go to settings and check the box allow automatic backup some thing like that. Then download the apps u need from playstore. It will automatically backuped in ur internel storage. So u can take the apks from there and then change the icons and then install it again...
