I finally got the applications to install with my rom. But now I am trying to get the applications to use the /data/data I think is what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to make the applications use the settings that I setup. Help?
Application names and rom name...

Is there any way to unzip a ROM, and add the APKs for the apps that I want? Like for instance, a ROM may not come with Google voice, so I wanna add that in and make it like a system app. Is this possible, or do I have to just download it, along with the rest of the apps I want?

I'm not quite sure but there's a program that is supposed to zip the rom into a .zip and do the opposite so I don't see why you cannot unzip a rom, add the apk's u want and then rezip and flash. I would be careful though these developers put alot of work into these roms so who knows you could accidentaly remove something crucial to the system, look into the Android software developement area, there's alot of information on how to make roms and such. I tried learning what I needed to to make a rom but got lost about 3 hours into reading lol. In the main forum area under android developement/hacking should be a noob corner somewhere
What's the point of doing what you're asking anyway? Just to have all your apps installed as you install the rom?

yeah, so then I don't have to go find them. Lol more of a vanity thing. I'm not worried about taking stuff out, just adding to.

You don't have to unzip the ROM if you have winrar or 7zip right click on the ROM open as archive find system/app put the apk files in that folder close the ROM zip out and then do as you normally would to flash the ROM it will instal what you add
You can adb pull the .apk files you want them add to the zip it isn't suggested to unzip sometimes it corrupts the zip file

That's a good suggestion. Can't you also just do a batch backup with titanium and then do a batch restore once you flash your new rom?

Yeah, but then there's the long process of letting the apps install and all that... its just a pain. I mean, I don't mind doing it, I was just asking if it'd be easier to do that

I used to do this in the past to remove and install Apks before flashing a new rom. Kind of personalize it for what I wanted and what I use. I haven't been doing this lately though. I just do a batch restore with Titanium backup now. It's pretty quick, and has worked well.
Root programs that I've uninstalled via root uninstaller?

Can you elaborate a bit more?

I've removed some programs through root uninstaller. Such as gmail. I didn't make backups.

Probably have to wipe data and reinstall roms or try flashing a Gapps package.

some apps, such as gmail, can be downloaded from the market. For others have you tried pulling the apks from your rom.zip and placing them in /system/app?
While it is normally fine to remove certain system apps (I routinely strip down every rom I install of certain apps), getting them back can be a pain sometimes if you're not sure how to do it. Another way to achieve the same goal is to 'freeze' all the apps you don't want to use. They won't show in the app list and they won't run in the background but they will still be there if you ever need them.

I would wipe data if it doesn't work reflash the rom.
Some of the stuff you may have removed may be best resolved by reflashing the build that you're using. For example, I use Gmail and another mail app, no need for Exchange or the stock email. I used to not back these up so when I actually needed to test something it was off to ODIN my phone again . Now I use TB and back it up before I remove it.
This is very simple to fix. It should never be a pain to accomplish either.
1: Find the apps you want to restore in the rom you flashed (if you don't have the original .zip, download it or a similar rom). Use 7zip or WinRAR to open the rom file.
2. Copy the apps you want to your sdcard.
3. Use Root Explorer or similar app to move or copy the apps to /system/app (you will need to make sure your file explorer can mount the /system in rw)
4. Reboot and enjoy
Basically you just want to pull the apps from a copy or the rom you flashed or a similar one (ICS>ICS GB>GB). Then move those apps to /system/app and reboot. The phone will reinstall them when it boots back up.
Is there any way to unflash zip files? I flashed some mods for my toggle bar, and I think its killing my battery. I was just wondering if there was any way to get rid of them? Thanks

The best way I know of to "unflash" a package is to:
1. Find the files that were flashed with the zip.
2. Extract those stock files from your ROM.zip.
3. Push them over and set permissions with a root explorer. (I.e. ROM Toolbox)
Reflash your rom only wiping cache and dalvik this will restore rom and leave your user data and apps intact

The best way for me is to just keep regular backups of your working setup that you can restore back to.
I'm still a noob about this phone so bare with me. I've recently flashed the Jedi X rom on and am loving it. I am having issues with some of the apps on the play store telling me that "Insufficient storage available" and cant download it. I do have a 32g microsd along with the the romtoolbox pro to have all my apps downloaded to the sd card. My apps show that its used only 703mb. If someone can help me solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
You install your apps onto the device and that part is called the sdcard. Your micro sd 64 gb is called externalsdcard. You probably didnt wipe your system data and/or backed up your phone using reovery onto your phone and didnt delete other stuff. Try going through your phone using the file manager as well as connecting it to the computer and youll find that your phone still has data on it that you didnt wipe. Think if it as you uninstalled the program but failes to delete the saved data and downloaded files. Hopes this helps

It's a bug that I dealt with yesterday. Your phone has plenty of storage but no matter what you do it won't install. Try going into recovery wiping caches and fixing permissions. Then try wiping data from play store and googlr frameworks setvices in your app settings. If that doesnt work,per google you're looking at a system format or do what i did and restore a nand backup.

I figured it out. Thanks for all the tips though. I am running rom toolbox pro and had my apps going to the sd. I switched it to auto and it worked like a charm. However, I did switch my rom to clean rom and everything seem to work better there. Thanks again.

I have plenty of space but I can't download anything.
I'm running nightly 6/2 CM 10.1.
Any help would be appreciated

Fixed it. Seems that Samsung is confused where to install apps. I used ROM toolbox and tried to change where apps were to be installed. For me it needs to stay auto. Hope this helps someone with the same problem

I got the same thing on stockrom, and I was convinced it was because I just did a nandroid backup before flashing a theme (and then restoring because it sucked). Looks like I'm re-installing rom toolbox pro!
Update: on the app2sd section, the storage was already set to auto. I tried setting to internal, and external, all 3 and I still get Insufficient Storage Available.
