Already tried that but it contains only the apps which come with the original stock rom(stock apps) and not the ones I downloaded..
The apps that u install after getting the device started are not in the system folder but the data folder which can be found in data.rfs.tar
and then in data folder open app u will find them either there or a backup of those somewhere in the .tar file only dnt remeber properly
your downloaded app is stored in data.rfs.tar (if you put them on internal memory) or .android_secure.vfat.tar (if you put them on sdcard)

ty both of u.. srry culdnt press the button cuz i hav reached my limit of 8 thnks
is it safe to place the files in /system/app folder and remove the old ones??
yup...if you already have the newer one its safe to remove the old one. but make sure you delete the odex files too. no need to press that silly button. I'm just a noob here, not a dev.
You can try but when i put vending.apk when 1st open it installing again on /data and operamini.apk can't put on system always force close in my case.
in DXLB and newer firmware market in system app is named phonesky.apk. vending.apk is the older version used in older firmware. we don't need them if we already have phonesky.apk.

hi guys, just switched to cm7.1, its a good rom, i was wondering if its possible to add your own apps into the rom and then flashing it? what i mean is to add your own essential apps into the rom and then to zip it so it uses up more rom space and leaves more internal space. if there is a method, can some one please give some idea on it. thanks
Of course it is. Just copy the app's apk from /data/app in the /system/app folder of the zip file.
Thanks but can you explain abit more in detail please, like if i put the apks in that folder, will the apps automaically be installed? and as for the rom zip file, will that need to be zipped up back in a special way? also will the apk's need to be signed with a special program? a small accurate guid would be sweet. thanks
There are two ways, either manually open the zip (no need to extract it) then just drag and drop your apk files to the System/app folder or data/app folder then close the window. Sometimes it doesnt work it depends I think on how the files was compiled or something.
Or use ROM manager. Look it up in the forums.
Edit: Its Rom Editor if my memory recalls it correctly.

No, just open the zip and stick the apk's in that directory. Then when you go to flash just disable signature verification..
I'm not sure as to how this will go about saving space though.. it's the same as installing apps AFAIK

In a way it does save space. I remove some apps that I don't need from the CM zip like ROM Manager, live wall paper etc and then add my apk files on system instead of it being saved in data folder.
Sthankyou, can i manually move apps in the data folder into the system with root explorer? i am s-off.

with root explorer yes, but I don't think they'll actually be installed just by putting them there..

Yes you can manually install apks to the system/app using root explorer. But you have to modify the permission of the apk file upon transferring. It is best that you first copy the apk from the data/app folder to sd. Then uninstall the app. Then use root explorer to transfer the app from sd to system/app. Update the permission then reboot.
Take note that not all apps will work with this method. Some apps just needed to be on the data/app folder based on my experience.

Yup. I forgot about that. Yeah damn easy too.
Is it possible to move one Program from a ROM to another ROM? I've tried TB but it only see's that it's a backed up file but won't restore. Is this possible and if so, what is the process?
you can unzip both ROMS and drag the app from the Sys/app folder on one to the same folder on the other, rezip it and flash it and it will install with the flash
Titanium Backup is really the only way. What exactly happens when you try to restore? Does it give you an error.
HipKat...thanks! As soon as I posted this I found that I can get into the zipped APK folder, move it to my SD Card, and then use my file manager to install it. Worked great! This is the fix!

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.

:good:
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
Hello
My problem is that I downloaded the nand stock rom from the thread and extracted it and tried to put it in the clockworkmod\backups folder and I think it was ok (not sure) but by mistake I deleted all of backups (the stock and the one i created) and I tried to copy it again and create another one but I noticed that there never 2 backups.
The one that I created I can see only from the restore option in recovery and not in the folder ( I used to see it in the folder ..) and the stock one I can see in the folders but not in the restore option.
Should it be like this ? Am I doing something wrong ?
How can I restore that stock backup if I cant see it ?
I'm on ordroid 9 with TWRP recovery.
And the stock one gets in ZIP but i extracted it and copied as folder.
Thanks in advance , I'm afraid to flash new version.
That's because you didn't put it into clockworkmod>backup folder in the sd card and btw you don't extract anything .....every nandroid backup must have 5 zip files in it (don't extract it) and should be named as the date and time it was created
The folder should be like this
Clockworkmod\backup\date & time folder\backup files

I know :\
I extracted the stock backup folder from the zip . not the content in backup.
Forgot the part about renaming, that actually might be the case.
Thanks both of you, I'll try it.

I've had this problem when copy files in TWRP and then I can't delete them in Android even from terminal... Back to TWRP file manager and deleted them...
Probably not the same problem as yours but I thought I will mention it...
Didn't realy bothered to figure it out but must be permissions/ownership related...

i reinstall Stock, everything works fine and i think there's some folders (or files / hidden files) in the internal memory (made by Stock when boot up) , they assume the permission to read and write every file :-?
before that, I had to clean up the internal memory in which important files erased
solved....
now i can delete/copy all folders and files i want :laugh:
