Is anybody aware of a script that will move all apps from the desktop to a folder. i'm sure that im not the only miui user that would like the functionality to install apps to a folder rather than the home screens...

I found out some apps inside the folder.Facebook,Youtube Astro fileware and such.But after running Eclair,I found out there are no related apps inside the menu.And also there's no Live wallpapers.Can anyone help me out?
you have to move them out of the sub-folders and into the AndroidApps folder.
Changlog note from a while back.
AndroidApps now consists of 4 folders
( Copy the applications you want to the root of AndroidApps. For people who dont know what core files to copy, i suggest you copy them all )
I asked about this too in the thread and didn't get an answer. I noticed that during android runtime start it is actually supposed to load these folders automatically but something causes it to omit them.
I'll try this as there are some of my own apps that I want to install to have a more complete build (gallery should work well enough).
Hi..
I've had problems with Gmail and Maps applications previously with Neophyte ROMs. In that case one of the solutions was removing the apks for these apps from with the /system/app folder of the ROM zip.
My question is:
Is it possible to add our own apks to the custom ROM so that these apks come preinstalled on the ROM when someone flashes it..in a manner, a kind of 2nd generation mod?
Is it possible to add our own system variables and settings files so that the ROM autoinstalls it on First Install? In particular, I'd like to preset my own APN file for the network.
The simple answer is yes.
The entire system folder in the zip file is written to your /system partition, with the full architecture of folders and so on, so any changes made in there will also be on the system, when it is flashed.
There is also a script file, in the META-INF folder, which you can use to run commands to delete or edit something along with the flash, whenever the zip file is flashed. This is a bit more advanced though.
edit: it is the same for the data folder of course, which folders is flashed and where to is also specified in the script file mentioned above.
Thank you!
In that case, for installation of a program like Gmail.apk or Maps.apk, would be as simple as adding the .apk to the /system/app, or would I have to include other files? Would there be dependancies in other folders?
Well the apps have their own data folder on the data partition, but this is for storing changes in settings and so on, and it should be created by the app itself on first boot just like right after you wipe the data partition/factory reset
Thanks..Got some mod modding to do!
So in case I'd want to manually uninstall/manually install an apk, what would be the steps I'd have to go through?
Would there be filesystem config files (like the older Windows versions), or a central database of entries of the likes of the Registry tables of newer Windows? How does Android go about installing a file? Like which folders and files would be modified other than /system/app and /data/app? Any common files with entries? And in case of the latter, whether it would be machine readable or plain text?
Hi, I would like to create a list of the files not essentialy needed by a rom.

If they don't automatically run in background, there is no need to delete them. Defy's rom is spacious.
And instead of delete/uninstall, you can just rename the .apk so you can easily get them back when necessary.
I've been looking into manually installing some .apk apps on a nosense custom rom.
Mainly system linked .apk files.
Next to having the apk file for installing an app how do i find the rest of the files required for the app to work?
Normally the system apps have many more files spread over the libs, framework, addon, etc folders.
Trying to findout how to locate those extra items.
Thanks for the help.
You mean like the Sense Camera? No one has ported sense stuff to non-sense ROMs before, most likely before HTC Sense is closed source.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that's kinda tricky to explain here, you should look for some guides out there... it isn't very easy believe me
was hoping there was a way i can use a program or so to check the apk data itself for the files it requires.
Use to mod some games and inside one of the data files you'd always find the dir and link to the files it's attached to.
Looking for something like that basicly.
If i were to findout for example which lib files the polaris office.apk uses i can push those to system (together with every other file it needs to work) and it should endup working just fine.
with nosense i actually mean what RENOVATE and Revolution HD call it when they actually use sense+ but then remove most of the sense junk and run a launcher over that. So any htc files will work just fine, they only need to be installed with every background files too.
I would like to change the icons of some applications on the desktop from the original ones to the ones I created. I want all icons to be transparent and compatible with the main layout.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Since you are using a Lumia 950, its quite complicated (at least for me). Here's the solution
1. Try to downgrade to a lower version supported by WPInternals, from 10.0.10586 to 10.0.15254.547
2. After the setup, unlock your bootloader and enable root access
3. After entering Mass Storage Mode, find the following path
yourwindowsphone/Phone/Data/PROGRAMS
4. All the legacy apps (XAP) are located right under that folder. All the windows 10 apps (appx) are stored under a folder called WINDOWSAPPS
5. Find folders of the apps you want to modify. Application icons are mostly at Assets folder.
6. Be aware that some apps' icons are based on both the tile pictures and the data in the manifest files. I'm not an expert at coding and technology so... I don't know how to deal with that
Anyway, good luck with your mods!!!
