Hi guys
I want to flash a custom rom. But I dont like the default launcher (launcher2.apk) can I replace it with Launcher Pro and can launcher pro still be updateble through the market.
I deleteled the launcher2.apk from /system/app folder and added the launcher pro.apk but after I flashed the rom I saw that the market doesn't recognize the installed luncherpro. So is it possible that I put the launcher apk file in a non-root folder inside the flashable rom zip file?
Another question I downloaded the "maps5.8.0 ownhere testkeyresign.apk" to be able to have navigation support in my country. Now should I put this file inside /system/app before I flash the custom rom or should I install it later? Whats better?
Just download launcher pro from market install it and then delete the other launcher and u should be fine

To answer your launcher question, try installing launcherpro from the market, and THEN deleting Launcher2.apk, that way you will only have launcherpro, which would also be updatable. You can use android commander to do so (requires android-sdk)
And to answer your maps query, it doesn't really matter, if you put the .apk in the ROM before installing you won't be able to uninstall it in the future as it will be classes as a "system app".. that's the only difference.
Thanks for the answers. Looks like the best way is to install the new launcher and maps after I flashed the rom

put your maps in the /system/app if want to use forever if not should be in /data/app folder if your custom rom has this feature so you can uninstall this later- read about /data/app feature also if your custom rom has root feature or you have a rooted phone it doesn't matter - you can delete this apk with Root Explorer by example
regarding launcher apk Market doesn't recognize this because is signed differently than the apk from Market -let us say I download from Market an apk and decompile it... to compile back and make that apk I will use own signature to accomplish this task so is that Market will say yeah ! a new app there because this is signed by me not original developer or can be signed in Eclipse with debug signature- also this signature is not ok

Yes. Just when u put the new launcher apk in system/app folder, remember to change permissions before u reboot.
Howcan I change the launcher before flashing rom (stock rom) ??
Hi,
With the help of various tutorials in the XDA forum I have successfully ported MIUI V5 with root access for my device :good:. But I want to retain the stock camera and gallery application. The stock camera is somehow embedded in the gallery apk(there is no separate apk for camera). When I try to install gallery.apk in the ported rom it doesn't get installed.
I tried flashing the stock gallery.apk directly too(by putting in the system/app folder and then flashing the rom) but it didn't work. I have also tried replacing libcam*.so files from system/lib, but it didn't help either.
Appreciate your help in this regard. My device is a Mediatek 6589T(Karbonn Titanium X)
I am trying to make an APK that will allow unrooted users to use iOS emojis, but in order to do so I need to see how LG sets up their APKs to place their tff files in the system directory.. So I need someone with a Rooted G4 to download a custom font from the LG smartworld app and upload it here so that I can replace the tff inside. Please and thank you!

hello, first of all this phone is mtk right?
second can someone give me the nfc.apk or MtkNfc.apk from stock rom with android 8.1 oreo. maybe can it be from custom rom if android oreo has nfc.apk file from stock. I want the apk under system files
because I have a lenovo k4 note with mtk processor and the nfc doesnt work on android pie custom rom because that the nfc app is from stock wich is marshmallow. the dev said that the file is missing some dependencies maybe with an app from a newer android version would work and as this phone has android 8 oficial rom so maybe is better. thanks
anyone?? just download any root explorer like es file explorer and search for nfc and get the apk that appear. probably is under /system/app/nfc or something or maybe under system/etc or vendor/etc
