Is it possible to transfer wallpapers from one rom to another? some roms have really nice wallpapers but aren't that great while others are awesome but don't have good wallpapers.
I dont see why you couldnt pull them out with root explorer and move them into your sd card. Then when u flash new rom put them in media file folder where other ones are.

that method sounds ideal but I've searched almost all the phone files and I couldn't find them. If by any chance you're using the stock gingerbread rom you could help me look?
You need root explorer (which you need to buy) on market. You open app n go down to rom zip currently installed. Then go to System folder, Apps folder, and look for Cm wallpaper Apk. file. At this point extract them to root of sd card and bingo bango there u go holmes. As long as you have multiple roms on sd card, you can just go into each one and repeat till u got what u want
meXdroidMod meXperia rom
theres only cmparts.apk :/
Dl rom you want on comp, dl rom with wp you like on comp. Open zips. Drag wp to rom you want, put on SD, flash. There's your walls. Or be easy and add to wp folder on your sd

I'm working on cooking my own rom but I'm not sure how to take an apk from my current rom to copy it to my computer.

I would just download the rom you're using and use 7 zip to copy out the apks u want. Just right click on the rom, choose 7 zip then select open archive. You can copy out any file/apk u want.

So heres what I'm trying to do, I would like to use other apps that I've downloaded after my rom was installed. So Instead of flashing a rom then deleting apps and downloading app and making all kinds of customizations, I would like to create one just for me. So is there a way to pull an apk from my phone through adb? Or are the apps not stored on my phone in .apk format?

adb or root explorer.
If you haven't already install DROPBOX on your mac and your phone.
With dropbox setup use root explorer to go into your data/app folder and copy the apk to your sdcard root.
Then use dropbox to upload the apk.
Wait for your mac to sync and you now have your app apks on your mac.
Just to give you a heads up, some aftermarket apps need some extra work just to get them to install AND work with the rom installation.
I use MYBackup pro or get the trial one. back up all the apps you want to you SD card then open the SD card and look for rerward folder open it and all the .APK you backed up will be there.
I have an htc desire rooted and have a 4gb sd card.
i put the .apk file in the sd card and access it with file explorer in the mobile.
how can i install the .apk file directly to sd card instead of installing it in the mobile storage?
thanks
I don't think it's possible, but what you can do is install it normally and and then use Application Manager to move it to SD. (Apps to SD or a2sd)
Perhaps you already know this so sorry if i'm preaching to the quior!
Of course the ROM has to support this as well as the App. If i remember correctly i think this was supported officially from 2.2 onward. (Froyo). Custom ROMs, especially Cyanogenmods, usually have this feature working out of the box.
so is there anyway of doing it up to today?
Of course. It's called a2sd.

You should install a rom with app2sd or data2sd
I found a solution. Connect your phone to computer and use adb
Code:
adb install -s /patch/to/file

Hi here an odd way by the way:
as far as I know in the mixui10ml (as a custom rom 4 xperia ray search 4 it)there is such ability but u should unzip it and find and test apk files and install them to find out which one do such thing
I personally do other work ... copy all apk file in to my new downloaded custom rom and replace them and it works great!
and i should that point this apk isnt like apk2sd & other silly apk... it added in to system as a property and automatically run whenever an apk install.
its the only *(hard but real) way* that i find by searching in 2 years!!! sorry 4 my poor EN just want to help!
at last I find the name of that apk!!: "package installer.apk"!
I would like to install some new fonts on this phone and I was trying to install it from the Viper Store which it did installed on the SD card. Now what do I do from there. Need help?

Fonts on Froyo are stored in /system/fonts/
The two files to overwite using Root Explorer or w/e would be DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Make sure to copy the originals in case you ever want to revert.
How do you get an apps .apk file off of a rom to restore it on another rom. Some of my app i like are not inthe market anymore and i have them on an old Nandroid i have. THANKS IN ADVANCE
If it's installed as a user app on the ROM, restore the ROM, then navigate to /data/app and copy it, then paste it to your sd card, that would be the easiest and safest way with a good file explorer like ES,Astro,Root Explorer etc.
ok i didnt look there but its just acouple of apps i had and they aint in the market so i thought i would ask here before i gave up thanks man
You can just use 7zip from your PC and either go to system/ app or data/ app depending on where the apps your looking for are on the ROM and copy them to your sd and install them with a file manager.
Thats if they will work with your new ROM not all apps work on all ROMs I don't think I've tried this with a few and some work and some don't.

i've been installing custom roms a lot and everytime I do I back up the phone. Now I'm wondering how to delete the really old back up files because I think they all using up a lot of memory and I'm never gonna go back to it.
thanks guys
Download a file manager from the play store (I use ez file explorer) look for the clockworkmod folder, then backups

-Connect your phone to PC and use it as disk drive.
-explore your phone from PC and go to folder clockworkmod then backup folder
-choose older roms that you want to delete and delete them ( they are written by date and time don't worry), simple :laugh:
