One more question from me:
If I uninstall any app (for example HTC lock screen) trough for example Ttanium Backup, and I haven't any backup,
can i make flashable zip with this app when i have *.app file on my pc ?

Yes but you need to have .apk file on your pc. It is easier to just back it up in titanium.

Of course apk, I make mistake and I cannot edit post for 5 minutes.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't install this zip. Other (not mine) with mods, roms etc. works correctly.

Try taking some zip that works for you and replace the files in system/app folder inside that zip with the apps you want.

okay so i dont really like sense's transition animations so i started searching for some new ones and came up with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920024
decided to share it with the G2/DZ community cause i know some of you guys dont like sense transitions either
im using virtous unity, i dont see why it woudnt work on any other rom
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS just so if you want the original transitions back or if anything goes wrong or if your rom is not compatible etc
i recommend using the metamorph method, its way easier
for those who arent familiar with metamorph u can dl it for free on the market and do the following:
1-download the transition youd like from here :
https://bitly.com/bundles/haxzamatic/1?preview=1
2-place the zip in the root of the sdcard (or any other folder you want)
3-open metamorph and select Unzip/Extract new theme
4-go to the root of your sdcard or the folder you made and select the zip
metamorph will extract the zip and a new window will pop up select close (pretty much your only choice)
5- tap where it says SubTheme: framework-res.apk
Located in /system/framework/
(Requires Reboot)
your device will reboot and there you have it new transitions!!
im using the fold ones myself and they look amazing!!
awesme.thanks
nice work. thanks

I tried this action but it did not work. I also think it screwed with the backlight on my keyboard? I realize this should happen but that is only thing I can think of that would have done it. Is there any way to reverse this?

if you restored your backup its like if you never tried this on your phone, so its something you did before or it can be due to the ROM youre using

Problem is, I've flashed a few ROMs since then. I need to find out when the system location is that contains the config. for the soft buttons and keyboard.

There are 2 points I need some help at.
1. Is there a possibility to remove (automatically) some apps after each ROM install? Even with a striped ROM, there are some apps that I don't need or I want replaced.
2. How can I make a pack of my personal apps that should be automatically installed (silent install, no confirmation for each app)?

I dont think there is.. if you really wanna do that you gotta run some sort of script through terminal or something..

1: u can manually delete them with root explorer
2: either with titanium backup or make a zip and flash through recovery
You could also open the update.zip in WinZip remove the things you don't want and drag the files or .apk into it.

thanks, guys.
I am thinking about trying that directly on the phone....
if I will do it, I will let you know...
If I put the .apk for titanium backup in system apps folder will the app be available in the app drawer if I do a full wipe and flash another rom? Will it be installed already?

Thanks! Where does this update.zip file get stored? Do I choose apply update in clockwork mod or install?
Sent from my HTC One X
Been a while since I've done it, but I think it creates update.zip on root of SD. Flashable from CWM (recommend booting the ROM between ROM flash and update.zip flash).

Thanks for that. Figured it out. Great little tool that is. I'm a flash junkie and some of the roms don't come with a file explorer so I have to keep downloading one to get to my tb.apk but with this.... its awesome wish I knew about this before...

Hello,
first of all, i do not want offense any of authors who created all those great custom ROMs out there. Im just interested in one thing. After i downloaded and used for a while some custom ROM from forums, ive downloaded some other apps from market and i want to use them instead of those which are on original ROM. Is there any way to remove those parts of that ROM and put as default the new ones and create my own zip (for backup and comfort reasons)? So, some customizing of already custom ROM is my target

If you've already installed the ROM, then titanium backup is your friend. You can uninstall any preinstalled apps that you don't want.
If you want to edit before flashing, unzip the ROM, delete any apps that you do not want and then zip it back and flash.

So when i unzip it i can delete. Can i add apps i want to have included as well? The point is, friend of me (you wont believe but yes, hes more lame than me in this area) asked me if he can get the exact ROM with same apps as i have, so i told him that maybe i can create own ROM to share it to him..

If you have the apk files, yes. You need to zip align it though.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
You don't have to unzip. Just use something like 7zip, double click the Rom.zip, don't extract. Then add/remove apps from system/app by dragging/ deleting apk files. You can delete other unnecessary things like ringtones and languages in the other system folders. Just don't touch system critical files.
Then close 7zip to update, no need to unzip and re zip and align etc
Some apps don't work in system, don't know why. Also need to check that the extracted system size will fit into your hboot system, otherwise it won't boot.
When meeting around with roms like this, especially important you nandroid backup before flashing if you don't already!
Never unzip to remove apps or anything else for that matter, if you unzip it, and then zip the unpacked directory you wont be able to flash it.
Just open the .zip file and delete whatever you want directly from it.
You can try total commander from market, if you would like to do that directly on your phone.

During installation I accidentaly removed HTC´s Messageing app (sms app).
I know there are thirdparty apps on Google Play....but I would prefer to have the original.
So my question is if anyone have the original sms app lying around..and would be kind enough to post it here ?

Just flash it over again and it won't cause any damage. Just select all the same things you did before besides removing the sms app. Still keeps all your stuff.

Yeah I thought of that to...but this seemed like an easier way.
Anyway...thanks for taking the time !
or use a filemanager and find the file in the rom zip you flashed, it's in system/app/ , i think Messages.apk is the right filename. extract it and copy to /system/app and make sure you've got 644 (rw-r-r) permissions on it, which should be available in the properties for Messages.apk once you extract it. then reboot. between flashing the package again or doing this, you're covered.
I´m looking inside the rom zip file...trying to figure out wich one of them is the smsapp.
The idea is to extract it and the insert it in the rom with root explorer !
EDIT: HEHE...rynfrnk...same thought !

exactly what you want to do! it's Message.apk and you'll want to make sure you didn't delete HtcMessageProvider.apk as well.. extract those out and copy to your phone's storage under /system/app and 644 the files so their perms are set and then reboot, you should be golden.
Done..that was easy enough.....thnx again guys !

no prob! glad you got it taken care of! with the advent of aroma, it's slightly less appealing to fix simple issues like that with a full re-flash.
