Hi there,
Just came from ios world and wanted to know if it's possible to delete unwanted keyboard and app language files (can be big..).
On iOS a simple script to scan XXX.proj (wich are the languages files) and so can slim down for good the phone.
As i can see some ppl made a custom slim ROM like 69MB on Gnex with only few languages.
Does someone know how to do it and if it's simple ?
Cheers,
even if u do that, i dont think you get any benefits..u dont get free space to install more apps anywyay
the android rom is in /system, while the app u install go in /data

Since we cant ROOT our Rhodiums and use metamorph, is there anyway we can theme android? Such as change the tasbar and icons and such?
i want this too

from looking at what Haret does, it seems that it just cleans the memory except for an instruction to load linux, then it boots linux configured to launch android afterwards. As far as I remember, android supports both yaffs and squashfs, so the system is loaded from a squashfs file from your sdcard. Theming any part of the system would mean either unsquashing the whole system, then applying the theme, then re-squashing. If we squashfs'd the individual directories (/bin /etc /app /framework /media ...) and specify those individual mount points, then we should be able to just unsquash /framework and /app, theme them, and then re-squash them to keep the "theme" upload to a minimum.
I'm still researching exactly on how all works (I'm new to winmo (and still hate it) and I just got my device two days ago and already thinking of returning it and waiting for nexus enterprise instead), but my goal is eventually to create and support an android rom for the rhodium, if I don't tire of winmo first and sell the device...

Hi people!
this is my first post here ^^
i have an HTC Tilt2 with the latest Energy Rom " Standard 'Reference' ".
The problem is that the ROM itself comes with a lot of programs that i dont Like / need and i want to delete them.
How can i do that if they arent shown on the Uninstaller Manager ? Is there any program that can do that? or can i edit the rom with my custom settings ?
thanks in advance!
If it is in ROM, it can not be deleted. Find a different ROM that has what you want and don't want or cook your own.

what are the programs that you NEED to delete and why? just remove them from the tabs if they bother you. deleting them (which you cant do) wont do anything anyway.
hiiii....
i m using android on my diamond & want to have some cool apps to work on but downloading from market is a task i dont want to do...is there any place where i can download the .apk file & install it on my diamond...plz help me with link or reply...
thanks!
What sort of apps do you want?
Im sure that if you looked around the desire forums in the apps sections you will find some .apk Then you just copy them onto your internal memory in winmo and then in android you just find them in a whatever filemanager is included in android and I think you can install them there!
hey New to the xda fourms but looking for some information about skinning I got a few questions which I've trolled over xda very little and some other sites that never directly point me in the direction I'm looking to go. I have worked with linux is in the past. ex puppy linux which I was very fond of for user information about anything to do with puppy. but I have just learned from trial and error . anyways my questions are as follows.
1.I'm wanting to build a skin for rcmix 3d ver.4 creating sense 3.5 New look and feel while changing icons for a list of apps besides the skin and sense,how do I go about changing icons/skins in apps I download?
2. what programs do I need to take on this task?
3. I am currently not using linux,using windows7 to do this, is this going to matter? or should I switch to a linux based os?
in the end all I wanna do is change the bling appel of my phone with my own custom look not someone else's idea. a basic point in the right direction would be a big help. I my even post some skins to add to the dhd world.thanks in advance.
I want to ask the same questions:

If you want to get away the easy way, then:
1. Download rom of your choice (.zip format)
2. Extract framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from that zip file (you'll have to look in the data folder).
3. Go to UOT kitchen and go to file upload tab and then select "upload system files" then upload the ones you've just extracted.
4. Once they are uploaded, you can browse through all the tabs and select things of your choice.
5. When you're finished selecting, go to Sumery tab and cook your files.
6. Wait for 5-10 minutes then go to pickup tab and you should have your .zip ready for that specific rom
7. Flash the .zip
8. Enjoy!
Note: For every rom, the framework and systemui.apk is different so for every different rom you'll have to extract those files from .zip file of that rom
hey thanks,I have been looking at that kitchen cooking but I'm looking for a more manual approach at doing things. can I do that same step guide but manually skin it myself?
how do I manually recompile after I'm done?
I have been creating icons for a little over a week with gimp on windows on free time with a theme in mind looking for more of a one of a kind idea and then maybe adding themes to the dhd network after I get a handle on it, so looking to create theme packs. I been trying to do it with a few apps but I can't get the icons out of the apps to show up when I pull it apart so I figure I'm missing something I would need to go about doing my work. am I missing extensions I need to complete this?

To change the icons in downloaded apps you will need to decompile the apps apk then change out the icon in the app, them recompile. Mind you it will get replaced again when the app updates. A search would lead you to many themeing tuts on XDA
When I create new users, they can use all the stocks apps (Gmail, youtube, G+...). I´d like to add more apps to use for all the new users ( f.e. file manager, titanium,...) and remplace the sistem app that I don´t use for others more usefull for me.
I try to add one app to sistem/app, and I can find it like a sistem app with Titanium, but it not appear on the rest of the users...
How can I do it? is posible?
Nexus 7 with root and stock rom
Thanks!
