Hello,
How can i do to add a software for installing it during the installation of the rom.
I explain:
I need to have Estrong File when i flash my Desire.
How can i do ???
I put apk file in data\app and system\app, after i use sign rom, but when i flash my Desire no application appear.
Why ???Thanks
Unzip the ROM ZIP file, add the APK to just /system/app and then rezip it - if you put it in /data/app and the wipe before first boot you'll obviously remove the app
Works fine for me

How hard is it to make a zip file to install apps from recovery? I know already how to sign .apk packages, so is it the same with a zip file that has apps to /system/app ?
edit this update.zip to include your apk's in system/app
you dont even need to sign it, just turn off verification from recovery before you run the update.
I notice if you unpack the zipped ROM file you get a load of folders including one containing all the APKs in the ROM. If for instance I didn't need certain APKs like Twitter.APK can I just delete that APK and rezip the ROM and flash it?
Similarly if I wanted to use the Skyfire browser instead of the one provided in the ROM could I just delete the browser.apk and replace it with skyfire.apk?

Don't unpack it. Just open it and delete the Twitter.apk with WinRar or 7zip, then flash it.
System apps like browser are not recommended to be deleted (errors will come). Just install Skyfire then and it will popup for you to choose which browser you want to use for any thing.
I could be wrong, but don't you have to sign your "new" ROM before you can flash it? Even if you have signature check disabled in CWrecovery?
And if not, what is the meaning of signing a ROM?

If you want to go pro check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 you can cook your custom ROM very simple
I really wanted the Motorola Weather widget, so I download the system app dump of the Defy, and found what I desired. An .APK file and an .ODEX file. I have no problem installing the .APK, but what is the .ODEX file? Is it important? And if yes, than how do I install it?
You should put the odex file in the same folder where apk was copied during the installation.
Or, without installing, copy apk + odex in /system/app folder.
I have a ZIP ROm from this site to flash in CWM. There are a couple of APK's I want to remove from the system/app folder and a few to add.
Can I simply open the ROM in Winrar and remove/add the files, or will the ROM need resigning or something due to being altered?
Open with winrar or űzip and simply delete those apk.

Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx
