[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 !

Package

Guyz. My package installer. Is not working.plz.help
Sent from my Gt-I9003 using XDA Premium App

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

[Q] Edit System APK

Hi all
I have a Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570L) and I'm trying to edit Phone.apk, I wanna replace the unknown caller picture for the stock android picture, I already managed to do that but I have 2 questions:
1) When I try to replace Phone.apk with the one I edited the phone starts vibrating uncontrollably and I can't seem to be able to do pretty much anything, is there any special treatment when editing system APKs??
2) The stock Samsung ROM is odexed so I know editing and replacing the APK isn't as simple as it sounds, what else do I need to do after zipping the APK in APK Manager??
Thanx for you help
P.S.: This is a wild idea but is there a way to change the TouchWiz Phone.apk for the stock Froyo Phone.apk??

To 2.
It causes issues if u have some odexed and one deodexed apk so u should deodex all apks.
1. Do a logcat to find out what's wrong .
Did u push the file via adb?
And u should sign the apk ...

Thanx man, turns out I needed to deodex the APK before editing (which I didn't know).
I've got another question, since I'm using a stock Samsung ROM should I deodex all the system and framework apps?? 'Cause that sounds like a huge amount of work

[Q] Status Bar of Custom ROM to Stock ROM

Hey Guys, I personally am a fan of Stock ROM because of its perfection. And I also like Custom ROMs because of their Beauty of Jelly Bean and ICS.
But what I really like in Custom ROMs is the STATUS BAR. I want to have best of both worlds.
I want STOCK ROM with Status Bar of Custom ROMs. I tried swapping SystemUI.apk but I end up in a force close always.
I wanna know how I can do that? I am on deodexed stock rom.
Please tell me how i can have custom rom status bar (with 14 toggles and swipe to remove notifications) without force close on stock rom? what files need to be modded?
P.S. - I will not upload anybody's awesome work and claim it to be mine, I just want it for my personal use.

Well there is no simple procedure for it ...
Ye switching system UI idea didn't work because
Things like quick pannel bar bg, battery icon etc etc all r in system UI itself in stock rom.. but on many roms like jbv3 h8 etc they r in framework res (need I explain more)
So u just have to see around on xda and learn more
Well if u don't mind getting ur phone bricked or a bit messed up a few times here is a trial and error method
Try replacing framework-Res.apk, lidroid parts,apk and system UI.apk of a custom rom in stock rom
Well to get some more idea about this rom mixing stuff
see this thread of mine .... u will get some idea
Do wat I said on your own risk I have never done this on stock rom...

The SystemUI.apk of custom roms won't work on stock because they are signed by a different signature, because of the edits made in AndroidManifest.xml. However, there are many guides on how to theme your own stock system ui to install more toggles, etc. Search in the Themes & Apps sub-section.
