[Q] RCmagic app pack

How do I install the App pacs like the one with live wallpapers?
Do I just unzip and intall all the .apk files manually on the phone or do I need to flash or something?
I'm totaly new to rooting. Have just flashed RCmagic v7 on my HTC Magic (which had a perfected SPL)

Solved
I compared the contents of the RCmagic_v7.zip with the App_pack2.zip, and they seemed quite alike, so I assumed tha app pack shoudl be flashed from recovery, and I assumed correct.
But the live wallpapers did not work... some chrashed, some did not show up at all...

Softmod roms are usually existing roms but with new features installed (Built in apps, themes) You basically install the themes and apps (apps need to go into /system/app) and other enhancements then back up your ROM in clockwork, then post the system.img, boot.img and nandroid.md5 files so people can install your ROM. (Thats one way of doing it )
Hope it helps,

Yup, I know this method. But is there any way to get DSIXDA's kitchen working properly?

i dont think that kitchen will work because its not for are phone?? hot shore.
to build a custom rom:
1) install the apps you want on the system normally
2)using root explorer move the apk files from /data/app to /system/app
3) reboot the phone
TIPS:
not all apps work in the system partition
use cyanogen backupper to take your added system apps from one rom to another(or and update)
download titanium backup from applanet to merge apps updates with the system

well why not use a Virtual Box?

Thanks for your replies,
But one more question. How do I De-odex my 2.1 stock ROM if DSIXDA's kitchen doesn't work?

Thanks for suggest.
Unfortuynately at now i haven't possibility to do that.Is there any other solution??
If not i will installa rom again and then back it up with Titanium.

Hey thats it. But you can also create an folder @ SD card with your preferred apps. Youse apk extractor or anything else which let's you extract an apk file... Fx can do it also. Nice tools get from fdroid repo..
You must extract apk from running system or unzipped....

[Q] Problems after flashing a rom

I have just flashed an andriod rom with htc sense(developed based on the stock rom of desire HD), the developer deleted Facebook for HTC sense, friend stream and some widgets...
Is there any way that i can restore these things with flashing a new rom?
Can i simply copy the *apk from the stock rom and put them into the system/app folder?
Thanks a lot.

I copy the apk from a Desire HD stock rom and put them into the system/app folder but nothing happened. I cant run the apk.
Did i miss any step?

when you put something in system/app you don`t "run" them.
just reboot the phone. the apk will be installed automatically.
cheers

Same question, came installed with stock based ROM and doesn't allow other apps to mod the battery icon.

if you have the zip file for this mod and it's flashable open it up and check all the places the zip would have sent files to. you can do this by looking in the system folder inside the zip.
if you mount your system partition as read/write either from recovery or terminal emulator you should be able to delete those files. the problem is whether any original files where overwritten, or whether they were made into bak files or copied to folder. if they were overwritten you'd get problems. best thing to do is check with the author of the mod in it's thread for removal instructions. chances are a search of the thread will lead you to where this answer is already given.
if you're lucky the answer won't be to restore the backup we should make before flashing any mod...
