Make sure you delete the corresponding .odex file
For example:
/system/app/Dropbox.apk
/system/app/Dropbox.odex
Have to delete both of those
yep i have done that as well

hey i want to add some files like htc clock.apk and calculator.apk to N.S.A rom, so how do i go about it. Any help
Thank you.
unzip the ROM, add them to the app folder and rezip it and then flash the ROM (making sure the recovery utility you're using allows non-signed ROMs)
i am using clockworkmod recovery, does it allow flashing unsigned rom??
Thanks

Sorry, what does that means.
Yes, you have to remove the signing checking option in it (under advanced or something, have a play about)

Hi all, i'm a new user and i have some trouble adding .apk's into cooked roms.
In particular, i'm trying to add some .apk into /system/app of InsertCoin Gingerbread 1.0.5
I have unzipped the rom, add those apk's, zipped again but when i flash it from recovery it says "Can't Find Update Script".

Don't(!) unzip the rom. Just open the archive using 7zip or winzip (or something like that; right-click zip and choose 'open archive'). Then just move apk to correct folder. If you're taking apk's from another rom, open that using 7zip as well. Then, drag the program from one rom to the other. When you're finished and want to flash the rom, make sure you've disabled 'signature verification' in recovery (it is an option in recovery).
Thank you, i was able to flash my first "modded" version with different boot/down animation, Teeter game (i love it) and Titanium Backup
The only thing i was not able to do was Root Explorer, i tried to put it in system/app and in data/app but when i flash rom it doesn't appear in the drawer.
Any suggestion?

I have been learning how to do this in the last few days and have had similar issues as you. I can get some to install fine and appear in the drawer but not all.
I have only been adding the apk's to system/app and not data/app. Should the apk's be added to one of these, both of them or another folder completely?
Can anyone help the two of us out?
I used apk swapper but all the apps are not working
Well the title says it all... I downloaded and updated the non-paginated rosie addon/theme from synergy updater. I want to go back to how it was previously. I'm not sure how I can do that. Any help would be great.
just reflash the rom without wiping anything (ok, a wipe of dalvik and cache never hurts). you'll lose all system mods you have done so far, but it's the only way besides restoring a nandroid or manually replacing the files (which i assume you don't want/know how to do)
I'm sure I can do that, what files do I need to replace. I saw Rosie_scroll in astro.

lol rosie_scroll is the cache for the rosie on the sdcard that won't help. to replace files, open the zip you flashed, and find out what files it changed (ignore the META-INF folder btw, that's where the signatures and update scripts are). then just open the rom zip, and find the same files. now adb push, push using root explorer, or build a flashable zip of those files.
Hi guys,
I installed a asop r3 nightly, along with gaps, but for some reason I can't find the default music player..the widget is missing too can't installed music from play.store as I'm in the UK
How can I get it on there?
Thanks in advance.
it's because of license, just search for playmusic.apk in the rom thread
edit: here the link for the apk

Hmm not sure how to installed those, the are zip files not apk?

Depends on what their recommendation is.
If its just a .zip with the .apk inside it, you can just unzip and install the .apk with a file explorer.
If it's a .zip made for flashing, just flash it via CWM.
Yea, the zip file didn't contain a apk, and via cwm it failed to flash!
not sure what to do now...

What folders are inside the ZIP? If it has things like "assets", "META-INF" and "res", change the file extension to .apk and install as normal.

yup that was it, just figured it out and installed them (when I downloaded a apk file which was exactly the same size).
Thanks!
Just wondering if it's possible for me to overwrite certain APKs in a ROM zip with custom ones that I've found.
Specifically, the inverted/blue MMS and unlocked Exchange Email APKs to put into my AOKP zip. I'd like to be able to do this instead of having to do it post-flash.
Thanks.
Yes you can,i make custom roms with every rom like this,it really easy.Just use 7zip and replace them,just make sure they don't have different names,to be sure i usually delete old apk's first and then copy new ones instead of replacing them.
This what i do:
1 Add or replace apk's in system/app folder and delete any apk's i dont want,this improves speed and battery life.
2 Go to system/media folder and delete or replace any unwanted ringtones and delete system sounds.You can also replace BootAnimation,zip in there for custom boot animation.
3 (Optional) go to /system/frameworks folder and replace framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to use a custom theme,just make sure its compatible with the rom yore using.Oh,and replace SystemUI.apk in system/app folder.
And BOOM you have your own custom rom ready to flash.If you need any more tips just ask.

Yeah I need a tip. Every time I've tried this I can't resign them.
How do I do this?

Resign them?You don't need to resigh them,just add the apk and that's it.
NOTE:
If you modify some apk files they will no longer install from /system/app folder and you need to resign them,but if you did not modify apk file you're good.
While rarely(about 5% of time) some apk's will not install from system/app folder.
Strange thing is that if apk wont install,if you modify it and not sign it it will install,it will install unsigned but will not install signed!
So try it,if signed apk wont install just unsign it(mod it with 7zip) and see if it does and vice versa.
But 95% of apk's will work in system/app folder with no signing or unsigning needed.Just place the apk in system/app folder and you're good.

Its nice but not really needed,plus devs can name same apk's with different names.I ptefer seven zip because it even tells you which apps devs added themselfs to the ROM.
I just dumbly deleted those two files:
SecDownloadProvider.apk
SecDownloadProviderUI.apk
I am running LIGHTSPEED V3 ROM.
Can someone post me a how to with a link to the need files to back up the download applications? I think I have to change the permissions in that process, but I am pretty clueless...
Thanks!
You should be able to take the ROM zip file and unzip it. The files should either be in systemmapp or system/priv-app. Copy these to your phone and move them to whichever folder they were in inside the rom.zip file. Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apk files inside the folder that you moved the files into.

I just did that and found both apps thanks!
I pasted them and changed the permission to rw-r-r like the other apps in that folder.
But when I tap on the .apk files to install them, the installation fails. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hit dunt have to tap then to install. Once they are in the correct folder and you have changed the permissions, you just reboot and they will be there.

I just rebooted and everything is fine.

Next time, just dirty flash the Rom again...no wipes. Fixed.
Yeah I thought about doing a dirty flash, but rather asked cause I did not want to do anything more stupid than I already did...
About dirty flashes, my understanding is that there is no worry about dirty flashing a ROM update. Is that right? For example, flashing LIGHTSPEED V4 on top of V3 without wiping anything.
Thanks guys!!!
Sometimes. Usually a dev will let us know if a clean flash is important,like after big changes. But usually if you run into issues, the first thing you'll be told is try a clean flash. But usually it's fine.
