[Q] How to update an application in custom rom ?

Hi,
I use Racht Froyo à.15 custom ROM.
I would like to update the app Launcher Pro Plus with the new version.
I already have the .apk file.
So I tried to delete the old one and replace it by the new one in the /system/app directory but when I reboot, I stuck on Froyo logo.
How it is possible to do that ?
Thank

First you must install other launcher like adw and then remove launcher pro

Thanks for your quick reply !
I will try that

can't you just open newer apk file in file manager and there is option uninstall or update. It's so in all apps I noticed but don't know how about launcher.

how do you remove the stock launcher and replace it with another launcher?

[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 !

Try this one. I use on n9005 with Temasek 4.4.4 and works brilliantly.
Rename original mms.apk in system priv app to disable. Copy this one in and set perms to rw-r-r and reboot.
Switch to messaging in settings more and your good to go.

Need JB 4.1 Messanger App

Hello EveryOne, i Recently updated My Droid Razr M to Kitkat 4.4.2 182.x.x.x
i want to Replace its Messaging App With JB 4.1 Messaging App Because there is no select and Delete option, kindly someone give me that app

May I suggest using CM 11 messaging app instead? Some Jelly Beans apps won't work due to difference in the underlying framework.

Cm11 Messaging App have Select And Delete Option ? if it have then Please Give me Link

It do have select and delete options as far as I know (been using CyanogenMod for a very long time, since CM7).

Ok, please make a backup of your entire texts, before I upload CM11 messaging apk outta my CM11 ROM installer zip. Back up your original mms.apk before swapping it, and make sure the new mms.apk has the same permissions as the other apps in /system/priv-apps/ or /system/apps/ before rebooting the phone. Then restore the texts, and hold down on the unwanted messages before you are shown the options, and then touch the others you want to delete too, afterwards touch the garbage can. You will of course have to have root access first before you can swap the mms.apk though.

Brother Thanks For Help, My Problem is Solved i Uninstall Stock MessagiNg App And Install Go Pro SMS And It Works Great.

Anyone wanting to use this Rom as base for their carrier and build or just want to use a few files can. I don't care about credit. Use what you feel you need. No issues from me. As for work not mine. Please do give credit to those mentioned above. Thanks.

Bad ass and thanks, Curtis! Been using your Roms since the zte awe n800 - back in the androidforums days.

I have a small update coming which incorperates all of the s8 nougat icons for systemui. But want to hold off posting it until I sort out adding edge support. Also what I hope is a full weather fix. You will notice the launcher lags when changing rows/columns for the app drawer. Just swipe from right edge to center and change will take effect.

Hello,if you dont care about credits and have the files ready,can you send me the UI with nougat icons and symbols in sb so i can port/mod to make it work on our DUX ROM for J320F?

Use what you wish. But I will leave the foot work to you. Its not difficult to extract needed items from the system.

WiFi works fine for me. I'm going to upload version 2 with fixes for gallery crash,calendar crash along with new ui and weather app. I have not modified WiFi related apps at all. Are you sure you were on J327PVPU1AQF4 rom build and not a lower or higher version?

I think I have a good idea why Wifi isnt working. The magisk built boot kernel. Magisk has proven to be more of a problem than a benefit. Update will not include magisk.

Rom updated with dream UX SystemUI,settings framework icons,etc..removed magisk. Causing more problems than its worth. Only bugs left are some lag in how Launcher readings icons after picking grid sizes for apps screen. A quick swipe from right edge to the left takes care of it. And weather bug.

Thanks Curtis! Will try this out this weekend and shall report back - looks good

New rom on the way. HTC Flashback Rom. Check screens below. I will be decompiling the HTC apps to resemble old school sense to match the Samsung theme being used. As of now the rom runs with NO app bugs. All but Samsung contacts,messaging,and main settings/systemui have been replaced. Will post. She's sense in every way except core touchwiz.

Sure.
Only UI difference really is subtle icon changes in systemui and settings apk made by Samsung. Nothing to write home about

I dont know why,i also replaced icons on my UI but then it keeps crashing...

When replacing the icons be sure only to include those that match those in your roms systemui and settings2 apk files. If only one qmg,spr,etc is in the apk that does not belong there,it will either give a parsing error,not even show in app,drawer or installed apps,or force close
Do not replace any of the xml files. Luckily for our device these two apks can be extracted like a zip,modify the icons then recipe,rename apk. Others need decompiling and recompiling or you'll get the errors above. Your device files may or may not extract the same as ours do.
