I installed the Virus ROM and my market switched back to the original theme. I am now trying to get the theme that came with the ROM because it switched to the original for whatever reason. I was doing a little research and seen a comment that stated I had to change the marketupdater.apk file to a .bak file and flash the themed market.I tried to flash CWR and reboot but that didnt work. Mind you all I am an amateur so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
pretty sure u just edit the .Apk to .bak so its still there but its now been disabled
i am using samsung galaxy ace with a custom rom. i want to have some of the stock apps mainly stock camera, stock task manager, and stock messages. is there a way i can get it and put it in my custom rom ???
my method-
i am not sure whether this will work or not but i think that if i get the apk file then i can put it in root/system/apps and set permissions to rw-r-r. this should work according to me.
but how do i get the apk file?
for that also i think i could extract it from the installation files for stock rom...
but the installations i have come across are either .md5 or .tar files for stock rom. hence i am unable to help to extract it and get the apk file. also i am unable to find a direct zip installation setup via cwm for stock rom. if i get that then its easy to extract the apks.
please help. i am not sure if my method is right. if it is then help me with it, if not then please tell me the other method
I think it´s not that easy, becaus the stock apps are using another framework, so they will not work if you just put them in the root/system/app folder. You have to install the framework which is used by the stock Samsung rom. If I´m wrong please correct me.

Someone with mini have to help you. But since no one replying, and to save your time from searching all over the web;
To know which apk that has been modified, open the mod that you have applied using archive apps (winrar should do if you are in windows) and see what apk is inside (generally it should be framework-res.apk and/or SystemUI.apk)
To revert back, one of the way is to extract that apk from stock fw file, copy to your /system/ then change permission rw-r--r-- (if you dont know what it means, just refer to any apk inside /system/app/ permission's, they are all the same generally for /system/app/ and /system/framework/ ). Then, move it to appropiate folder replacing the current file (SystemUI.apk into /system/app/ for example. Better to replace systemui.apk first before framework-res.apk to avoid unexpected fc in the process)
Once done, reboot.
Other ways, ask anyone to make cwm compatible zip file for you to revert back to original or wait for someone to post the apk's here for you.
Thats a very good lessons actually, do a backup first before doing/modifying anything. Dont just simply flash any zip file, see first whats inside, backup whatever files that is affected by that zip to your sdcard is the fastest way (but not 100% reliable compare to make a backup in cwm.
Anyhow, good luck. cheers fren.

i got it from a friend, thanks anyway.
Hey Guys,
I have been attempting to mod my framework-res.apk to try and add a percent battery icon (unsuccessfuly so far). Here is my issue, after finding that my modded framework file isnt working properly, I go to try and restore the original. After restoring the original I still get tons of FC's and the only way to get things back to normal is to restore my backup from CWM.
The method I am using to replace my framework-res.apk is to use a root explorer (ES File Manager) to copy the file to /system/ then from there I modify the permissions and then move the file to the framework folder, overwriting the existing file. After this, I reboot the phone.
My question is, why is my original framework-res.apk file causing force closes? It is starting to make me think that even my modded files are ok, but that the issue is arising in the manual transfer.
Sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere, I googled and was only finding issues with the apk not being compiled correctly, but that shouldnt be an issue with the original apk.
*EDIT* I figured it out. It appears it was because Jkay Deluxe was installed. I decided to reflash the rom and try with a fresh copy of the framework-res.apk and everything appears to be working now.
While I was trying to clear the data of the file manager, I inadvertently uninstalled the file manager.
I am rooted on Virtuous Prime. I tried to use Titanium to extract the file manager from a nandroid backup; this did not work.
I do not have a titanium backup of the file manager.
Surprisingly, I like this stock file manager.
Is there a way I can get it back? A download?
Can I use adb to push the file manager to the device after extracting it from a ROM?
I don't know if this is the right one, but we can try it. It's the only one I could find.
I also have another file called filemanager2.odex
Im thinking that's just the data in my file manager....if you need that 2nd file, let me know
Added the file...had to change odex to zip to upload....just delete zip and change it back

If you are on a stock ASUS firmware, most of your system APKs will be odexed. You need both the APK and the odex file for the app to run.
A lot of custom ROMs have deodexed files for several reasons. Some people swear that deodexed ROMs are faster, some swear the opposite. Modifying deodexed ROMs is theorectically slightly easier also as you only need to deal with one file rather than 2.
This is a rather simple, nonsensical explanation of the situation, and I'm sure other folks will chip in with more accurate definitions, however, getting back to the point, YOU WILL NEED THE ODEX FILE ALSO IF ON STOCK.
