I have been toying around with making a rom based on el30 to have all the apps I use in it along with a little theme changes here and there.
I wanted to pull out the stock keyboards and put the one I use in. I've had no problem removing the keyboards and any other bloat ware from system/app I want gone, but when I added the apk for the keyboard (ics keyboard from the market) to system/app i just get force closes for it when I boot.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install it somehow?

I thought of that but I figured one keyboard should be left in system. I guess this particular one won't run from system partition. :/

Hi all,
I have a theme eg. Lite Pro theme that I want to get rid of the Launcher Pro in it. If I use the launcher pro in the theme, it stops me from downloading updates as they fail to install.
I'd like to remove the launcher pro and install it manually but want everything else in the theme.
If I simply remove it from the zip file in the /system/app directory of the zip, I end up with a crap load of errors when the theme loads after a boot.
If I want to add or remove an app, do I have to modify any files, or change anything else before I install the update.zip?
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm having a hell of a time getting rid of Launcher Pro from this theme.. I must be doing something wrong.
I've tried removing the .apk from the zip file - Failed
I've tried using ZipSigner 1.1 to recreate and sign the update.zip - Update.zip is flashable but when the SGS boots up, I get a crapload of errors.. It's almost as though it's looking for something that is no longer there.. eg. perhaps something in the framework is looking for launcherpro. What can I modify to say don't look for it?
Any help would really be appreciated.
If anyone is feeling really generous can you create a workable update.zip of the the LitePro theme but WITHOUT launcher pro or point me in the right direction?
Thanks heaps.
I'm not a user of the international variant, just here to look for a theme to port but on my epic I can use the sdx app remover (not sure if its compatible with sgs) or you can use root explorer the go to system» app» find launcher pro delete it and then install your own version like usual

Thanks for that.. I've been playing around and I think I've got other issues because now it's giving me problems with the original theme. I'll have to experiment further but you're suggestion to remove the app using root explorer would probably work well. I was just hoping to work it out the long winded way as I'd like to create some of my own update.zips soon. Having said that.. I'll go down the root explorer route for now.
Thanks again.
Hi, im running ec05 with the urban fury rom. I made a few changes to the rom and rezipped the file and flashed the zip with the new apks i added. I used the apks from midnight rom extras 5.2, all i did was take the apks from system/app from the extras and added them to urban fury roms system/app folder. The primary reason i did this was to fix the voicemail issue as midnights rom didnt require a text message. However i ended up adding all the apks over anyway instead of just that one apk. Im just trying to find out why is it everytime i power down my phone and boot it up all the apks i installed from the market are gone...???? Im going to undo what i did in a few hours but and just try the voicemail apk, but im just curious why this happens and is there a way i can fix it? Thanks for any help....
Did you modify the apks? Sounds like they are not signed.

I'm having the same problem on the Urban Legend ROM, I didn't edit anything in the ROM, but everytime I reboot my apps from the market are gone and have to download again. The data files seem to stay as I don't have to reenter any information, but the app itself goes away.
Sounds like YPIR to me.

I had this problem on all Urban Fury variations that I tried. Only thing that didn't allow me to stay on them, as a matter of fact.
What is YPIR?
Im also having this problem every single time i reboot my phone all of my apps are deleted, i try to use titanium to bring them back but thats a hassle, is there anything i can do to make this stop? im a total noob plz help!
I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

Hi, Im currently using Bobaridier v1.3 but when i changed from 1.2 to 1.3 the developer removed the original email app along with googles and also removed the Microbes live wallpaper which i love.
I would like to know if there is a way for me to extract those apps from the old 1.2V. I tried restoring the Microbes wallpaper with TB but it failed. I also tries installing a dump from the nexus and it gives me a parsing package error.
Like i said id like the original email app from samsung since i hate the AOSP looks and interface.. Thanks
I think i will be going back to v1.2 and then trying to see if i can do a backup of the email app and restore it in v1.3 if not is there any good apps for email that have a similarity to the stock app? I hate the grey color in this AOSP.
I used to get the errors installing MicrobesLWP. easiest way to get it installed is just push to the apps folder.
Actually pushing everything to the right apps folder always worked for me.
Edit;
http://db.tt/6S1mZ48U (email.apk)
http://db.tt/cTF3DoJP (Microbesgl.apk)
Move those with root explorer or somesuch to /system/app should work

THANK YOU!!! yes worked perfectly, did just like you told me copied files straight to app folder and walaaa got the microbes wallpaper back and email app.
I'm on Juggs 5.0 and I tried pushing a themed version of the Samsung keyboard app (AxT9IME.apk) into my phone but it would not install. I tried pushing the stock one back but it would not install either. The apk file is present in my system/app folder but it just doesn't run or shows up on application settings or TB. I had a backup on TB but when I tried to restore the app TB just freezes as is restoring the app. WTF! I've tried using a apk manager to install it and nothing. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions then rebooting and nothing.Running out of ideas on what to do. Help please cuz that's hands down the best keyboard IMHO. Thx ahead.

Change the current keyboard to something like keyboard.apko
Then push the new one using rootexp change the permission to rw-r-r then reboot. It should install automatically if not press install then reboot the phone.

well make sure you're not grabbing an odex file of it. Because its misleading if you're just pushing apk without knowing its a deodex one. If anyone get that?

The apks I used to try to reinstall the Samsung keyboard were from the Juggs Rom itself and from two other themes made for Juggs 5.0 (Kobalt and Bad Blue) so yeah they should of worked but all three fail to install. Its something from my phone. I think I'm missing a app that the keyboard depends on but I'm not sure. Thx anyways homie

Check and see if you have samsungkeypad.apk too.. or something like that

K...Im not sure what you mean...when you view the Samsung keyboard app via a app manager lets say thru Titanium Backup it is labeled Samsung Keypad 2.3.5 but the actual apk file is labeled AxT9IME.apk just like the Android keyboard app's apk file is labeled latinIME.apk...There is no Samsungkeypad.apk.
The apk file IS present in my System/App folder but its not installed nor it installs when I try to do it. I know I done did something cuz I had it working and then one day when I wanted to type something I noticed the Android keyboard was showing and when I try to edit the input method the Samsung keypad was missing. I don't know WTF I did.
