[Q] SE Roms without SE theme

Hi all,
I have test a lot of rom, but there is no "stable" rom for X8 for me.
All have camera, or something missing.
Is there a way to have original SE Roms, but without SE "4 corners" theme ? (blue one)
I have seen also, a "Quicktime" logo in my X8 box, and i see that, when i receive a .mov video, send from a iphone, only the SE original Rom can open it !
With a custom rom, even with all player (rockplayer, vplayer), there is no way to open a .mov video in gmail application.
I have import the original X8 SE rom, into the kitchen for custom it, and my question is :
If i change all Dialer.apk, and other apk from SE, with a original apk from 2.1 rom, it will work ?
Sorry for my bad english I hope that you will understand what i want to do
Thx

i don't know if it will work but you can try it

At least you can just delete SE theme and replace it by Launcher ex or something...

if you install Luncher pro, it's change only menu and home screen. But all apps, have the "4 corners" theme. Dialer with 4 corners is bad allway search where to hang up lol

Well, make an xRecovery backup, take apps from /system/app in some custom ROM and try them out maybe the'll work. You have nothing to loose, deleting or placing apps in system/app will not affect xRecovery, so you can always flash your backup if something goes wrong

Qqplayer works with most formats including .Mov files

i have test a lot of apps.
in gmail application, it's show xxxx.mov but when we download, it's a .qt file ... and it's no working ...

I think that i must just change the framework-res.apk ?
If someone know this answer ?
Thanks

...why change them when you can edit them? It takes more time but the risk is lower.
First of all download launcher pro (better)... Then edit framework.apk (try to extract it)... just the images, or u can replace parts of it from custom roms.
I download an edited framework.apk and change some things I didnt like with the original.

just want to remove the "4 corner" style !

Need more info to understand your problem. You have to describe:
1. What actions did you do?
2. What do you mean under "package installer": is it market or application that directly installs .apk's to the system?
3. What errors did you see?
4. Did you make/use (and what) some modifications of your fw? (did you use some mods? did you use some application that remove application from autostart, did you uninstall some system applications?)

Sometimes it happens due to change of frameworkres.apk just use your old framework res.apk and then tell me whether it works or not

Odex -> <- Problem / Confusion

I know the technical difference b/w ODex-ed and DeODex-ed
I have an odexed ROM
I simply want some applications (apks) from my Previous ROM, which was deodexed
When I PUT .apk files from My Previous ROMs ZIP to my Device's system/app - I get FC
When I restore apps like Go Launcher Ex, from Titanium Backup, I still get FC for that
Any Info...?
I want to use some apps from my Previous ROM
I want Rotary LockScreen
Also, a Professional Theme, Odexed
As I have seen that odexed ROM are so incredibly smooth in almost every aspect
(Not only 1st boot or initial days)
Help appreciated !!

the anserw is simle if your previous firmware was deodexed:
Youraplicationname.odex is missing

Deleting th old apk & dex file, bfore replacing, should work, then?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

you must either have all files in pairs apk + odex (thats odex)
or apk only (thats deodexed)
when looking at /system/framework/
that would be jar + odex (odex) or jar only (deodexed)

I'm pretty sure I tried this some time ago and found it will not work. The MyFiles.apk is strictly linked to the ROM you are using, something to do with the framework, so you cannot use one on another ROM version.
As for other apk's, if the file you want to use is deodexed, you simply delete the new apk and odex file and put the old one in its place although be warned, it may cause instability on your ROM if you do this with system apk files

ok whatever if you know better

U got my doubt clear

Was just giving an example so that $omator thinks I understood
Also
The irony is most of th times, its th system apks tht have dex files
If its not a system apk, I wud rather download th latest 4m market

just keep practicing,
also use other references like google and searching because u can't really expect much help when modifying things because basic knowledge in theming is aquired and not taught,

[Question] deodex some system apks

Hi guys,
I'm a bit frustrated when I see so few compatible mods for odex roms whereas all are for deodex.
As I want to keep running on odex roms for performance reasons, I'm wondering if it's possible to deodex only some system apps in order to be able to install a deodex mod ?
For example, let's imagine that I deodex Secphone and SecContact, in this case I might be able to install the mod to add the phone conversation recording.
Is it nonsense or is it something possible ?
Thanks very much in advance.
