guys if u found my question useful then thank me
It depends on some apps. Some are tied to system folders and some aren't.
Which ones are you trying to add?
And no need for build.prop edits

It depends if your roms format is correctly. Deleting something that is required by the system bootloops the rom.
What are you pasting them with?

well theres a way
guys theres no way to edit those .qmg formats.....but theres a way we can make our phones use zip formats.....this mod is for froyo and gingerbread.you can try on honeycomb and ics but follow the precautions given in the end:
1.go to system/bin folder....find the file named samsungani ,rename it to samsungani.bak.....
2.then find the file bootanimation in the same folder,rename it to samsungani...set its permissions as rwxr-xr-x.if you dont understand these permissions then simply check the permissions of any other file in the same folder and set the same permissions.
3.place your bootanimation.zip in system/media and set its permissions ---rwxr-x
4.now, when i did this on my phone,i entered a bootloop and even after my phone had booted properly,the custom bootanimation kept playing .thank god i have and external keyboard and when i opened it the screen orientation changed .now,the bootanimation was unable to cover the whole screen,so some part of the screen became visible, i used that part to go to system/bin/samsungani and i renamed it back to bootanimation,then i rebooted and there was no bootanimation
due to above problems i suggest u to use a bootanimation of the smallest possible size.that way ,even if u enter a bootloop the bootanimation will cover a small part of the screen and u will be able to revvert the changes .
actually ,gingerbread needs custom kernel to support the above mod,thats why i entered a bootloop.....all of us have different kernels so not all will encounter the same problem.....
please hit thanks button if i helped.......(really important ,otherwise the mod wont work
Simple method use a kernel that supports boot animation zip and place boot animation.zip in system/media folder job done .

People are using different rom's , some other are asking for specific mod etc
Could someone write some guide how to do it, to enlight those who are not aware ?
Take the framework-res.apk from your current rom and upload it to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Once uploaded go to battery mod and select the battery style u want and cook it.
When its cooked extract the framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and either replace it with root explorer or push it with adb back into the phone.

Depends of which rom you are running but if you use VillainRom I think you need to open your modded framework with 7-zip and replace "META-INF" directory with the one found in the original framework of your rom. This is needed to sign the file.
However I'm not sure you use VillainRom (where files must be signed) and I didn't use yet the kitchen ... but your feedback is usefull if you want to try ...

Ok so ignore what I said upper ... should be only for signature of the rom (not needed in stock roms).
Anyway ... if someone has the solution ...
I always made that on my own...
Open the decompiled .xml in the framework-res.apk, edit those lines, add my own battery.pngs and that was all...
I didnt test it on my sgs2... But it should be the same way to get it...

could you tell which .xml to edit and what to add within the file?
I juz grab one of the batt mod out there and replace the .png files under /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the ones I want. guess its kind of a lazy way to do it=)
I have KE2 and get a "signature verification failed" error when trying to apply the UOT.zip file :-(
Anyone some idea how to get this applied?
Also my original framework-res.apk file doesn't have any folder called "/res/drawable-hdpi-v4" but the UOT file has!?

I've accidentally deleted accountsandsyncseetings app using Titanium backup on my Galaxy-Y. To restore it, I've copied accountsandsyncseetings.apk at /system/app folder using 'root explorer', but I'm not seeing 'Account and Sync Settings' option in Settings yet.
After looking at /system/app folder, I realized that each apk has a corresponding odex file. Do I need the ODEX file for accountsandsyncseetings? If yes, where do I get it.

Model: GalaxyY (India)
Build: 2.3.6 Touchwiz
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot.
However, even after copying .apk and .odex files in system/app directory and setting up the permissions and rebooting, I still do not see 'Accounts and Sync Settings' in my Settings menu. I've downloaded the apk from a spreadsheet provided on xda-forums for Galaxy Y.
Please look at the attached screenshots and help me to get this setting back.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Silvane already told. If you want too much specifics - download the odex file and copy it to your sd card. Now open root explorer and select rw mode on top. Now goto sd card and find where you kept the odex and copy it. Now go back and open system/app and paste it here. And i assume you have the apk of it already in the system/app folder. Now restart. If it does not come, make a cwm backup (you must have upto 300 mb of free space - it is advised but 200 will also do). After backup you can restore. You will get it back.

Please point me to the instruction page for installing cwm. I'm sorry for the barrage of questions, but I'm very much new with Android development.
Well cwm for sgy is just scattered all over the forum lol. sorry I don't have a specific link but it's easy to find. :x
Btw I think the problem is the apk. It might not be for SGY. Because that spreadsheet isn't for SGY specifically. Ask someone to upload one for you. Can't get it myself. On phone again. :x
Oh and make sure the apk is from stock, not deodexed, to anyone who wants to help and upload for him.

did you mount system before you flashed the zip?
in cwm goto mounts and storage and mount system (if system is mounted it will display "unmount system")
remember if you are using a cm kernel like biels kernel you have to unmount system and remount it so its best to just unmount it and remount anyway just to make sure
