Hey guys. I have a question. When I used to use the SD Android, I used to put my APKs in the AndroidApp folder and it installed with Android. I flash different NAND Android ROMs often to my HD2 to test out which one I like. Is there a way I can do this with the NAND version? Can I somehow add them in? Thanks guys!
im not sure how to with a nand version to install your apps when you flash the rom to your phone, but you can add them all to your rom after flash, have all your apks in a file on your sd card, use root explorer and navigate to that file, use multi-select and pick all your apks, now goto /system/app. paste all your apks there. after that power off your phone and turn it back on, now they should all get installed, so boot time will longer only this time thou.
now with a cwm version rom, you'll need to unzip the rom, goto system/app, put your apks there. rezip the rom and flash it to your phone how you would with cwm version.
i can't say these ways will work for you with your roms but with mine, i have had luck.

Hi!
I've tried a Kitchen for Linux, and tried to costimize a rom.
But, when i've putted som app in the app folder, and saves the rom as .zip file, and trying to install the update.zip on my phone, it repet on booting screen?
Why?
Cuz, when i install the untouced ROM it works?

What I would like to know is before flashing a Rom, CM7 RC4, is it possible to unzip the ROM, Remove some apps I dont want, add some that I do, Re-Zip & flash.
Will it still work?
Thanks.
dont unzip the file open it in winrar etc and then remove the files u need and put the files u need in but just to let u now that not all the file u prop will not work as some apps dont like bein put in system apps and will force close or even not load
Thanks, might not add any as I can install them after I flash the rom but there are 1 or 2 I would remove.
Will give it a shot.

It says: "Download, unzip to your rom folder, restart twice.."
Is this just for that ROM or will it work for all?
What exactly do I do?
After unzipping, there are several levels of folders. which level goes where and does "rom folder" mean "Android" folder?
Download, unzip, copy "root" & "update" & "zImage" to your Android folder, reboot twice, have fun !
ROM folder = "Android" (or whatever your ROM's folder is called)
Just copy the folders and the file to the top level of your folder .
And a Kernel (technically) should work with all ROMs.
Your sd card should look like this:
G:/SDCARD/Android/root/
G:/SDCARD/Android/update/
G:/SDCARD/Android/zImage
Well it depends on your build, what build are you using?
because some builds have different path than Android, and others don't support putting new files in the folder build as far as I can remember.
so some require you to put these files manually using ADB push commands, or root explorer and apps of the like.
Not all builds support different kernels, so make sure you check if the kernel you want is compatible with the build you have.
and make a backup before you do anything or you might regret it.
manual kernel installation means:
copying the zImage to the build folder to replace the original, run android then push/copy-paste kernel files each to it's respective folder on the device. it's not that hard to be done.

You've got a PM >
Remember, you CANNOT install the stock Roms from within the recovery.
To install a stock ROM, all you have to do is:
- Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
- Get the contents (usually 2 big files) of the stock Rom archive and place them on the "dload" folder.
- Switch off the phone and press Vol+, Vol- and Power.
The stock Rom installation is automatic and you don't have to do anything during installation.
oh ok, good to know.
problem solved already tried to install older version of miui. the new version was messing with my phone nothing worked with it.

Where can i find this rom archive? I'd like to have a rom backup of my phone U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01CUSTNLDC253D001 (The Netherlands) before i flash anything. Is this the latest stock rom for my country? If i would resize data will this be a problem when restoring the stock rom?

I would advise against resizing the partitions, as it's difficult to restore them in case you need the phone for warranty.
I've sent you a PM with some info, let me know if you need more.
i am very much concerned about using perfect things, i used alot of different ROMS both with .32 and .35 kernel, none was perfect even all the stock ROMs available does have something to hate about,
my question is Cant we manually edit Stock ROMs (Update.APP) and Custom ROMs and select few important and better apps and replace with unwanted apps in roms?
in this way we can manage to create a new ROM as per our requirements....
Can't do it with stock roms unless you install, root, delete apps from /system/app.
With custom rom, just use 7-zip in windows to open zip file and delete apps you don't want from /system/app and /data if it is there. Copy your own apps in and then install.
There is a perl script to extract system.img from update.app, but i dont think there is a way to pack again
