I have updated my phone to adrynalyne's DL09 Super Clean 0.4/DL30 1.0 version. I want to install couple of stock apps that are part of a patch provided by adrynalyne. (TW super pack, includes widgets and music player, etc)
My question is - Can I unzip the patch and remove apps that I don't want to install and create a new zip? Basically deleting unwanted apks under system\app of the zip. Would this work?
Extract the apk file from the full DL30 and paste into the system/app folder. I do this for thinkdroid every time I flash.

I am on ED01 running Community ROM and LauncherPro Plus 0.8.6
The stock browser with ED01 conflicts with LPP's Bookmarks Widget and causes FC
Could somebody please post the browser from EB01? (The widget worked with EB01, perhaps newer updates work as well...I wouldn't know) I did a long search, but couldnt find anything.
If anyone knows of any other way to fix the problem please let me know.
Thanks!
There's a patch in post 2 of the ComRom thread. Flash in CWM.
Need an apk file from a specific ROM?
Download the CWM flashable ROM zip file. Extract the zip file. Look in the /system/app directory of the extracted zip. Find the apk file you want. Put that apk file on your phone. Use a file manager to install the apk.
Which way ı can use this rosie on rcmix? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062962
u can flash it and then you have the sense 3.0 lockscreen instead of the "normal" one
but don´t ask me how to do this, you should read the thread very carefully

You unzip the file to a folder which gives you the rosie and all widgets. You will then need a tool to copy the files across to your phone (I use QtADB - Google it). You must delete the old widgets first or else you will end up with a right mess. Once you have copied them across, reboot to Recovery and clear the cache then reboot the phone.
IMPORTANT: Always backup using CWM before you try this so that you can recover if you mess up. You have been warned. Good luck
or use droid explorer
I'm trying to modify Email.apk. I'm currently running stock 3.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492
Here's what I did:
1. Extracted Email.apk from update zip and dumped using APKTools.
2. Made my modifications - specifically I'm editing a .smali file with my desired changes.
3. Rebuild Email.apk using APKTools.
4. Renamed existing Email.apk and Email.odex for backup.
5. Copy my Email.apk to system\app and set permissions.
6. Reboot into CWM and wipe davlik cache (not sure if this is required).
7. Reboot.
Now the email app no longer exists in list of applications.
What steps am I missing?
If I'm not mistaken You can't edit odexed firmware!
You must first flash a deodexed rom and then change it to your heart's desire.
I guess I'll have to try deodex the rom myself then.
Thanks!
I'm now using Virtuous Picasso which is deodexed and am now able to modify /system/app applications.
However I think the actual problem was I forgot to sign the modified Email.apk. (Also had to sign Exchange.apk also as they need to be signed with the same certificate)
I think as long as the device is rooted you can replace /system/app applications?
See my signature for signing - piece of cake!
If you have a good and clear deodexing tutorial I'd appreciate it
Hi. I've always thought about this. Some people say something like this
Copy the file aroma-config and updater-script from META-INF\com\google\android\ from 3.1.1 rom.zip to 3.1.2 zip to the same path. He will say v3.1.1 during installation, but he will install 3.1.2 and you can select CLK again.

And what does it mean? When I edit zip file, it doesn't work. Is there a program for this?

Looks like the update (the zip) mentioned in the quote disables a feature on the HD2 that was present before that update. See here - shouldn't you have included that link
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166948&page=1286
To prevent disabling the feature, the quote-poster advises to run the update with the updater script (the script that does the actual updating) replaced by an old version. To do that, download both update versions and replace the mentioned files mentioned in the post in the newest version. Rezip and apply the update.
Not sure if this is a wise thing to do if you don't know more about updating, restoring etc... At least backup your data.
No, it's just when I zip it after update, cwm doesn't want to install this and sees as damaged rom.
But 7-zip can change files in archive no need to unzip all. So it works
