Hello,
I've been starting to cook my own rom under Clockwork, but ran into trouble when putting apps into system/app. They aren't installed on boot, because they aren't from a trusted source.
*SwypeInstaller, for example, is given through e-mail by the swype team, but cannot be cooked, as it doesn't come from the market (need "allow untrusted sources to be ticked)
*I understood signing isn't enough, and that a custom certificate is needed?
I'd like to know how to do that kind of stuff, in order to batch-cook some roms, and to avoid manual install or titanium install or recovery install of system apps.
>Good example is fasterfix, install like a charm upon first boot
I'd need a very simple explanation, i know how to use adb for example and zipsigner and stuff, but i'm not really into the Linux thingie
Edit : A way to disable certificate check on first boot will do as well ^^
Thanks
Up please!
Up! I really need help on this one, i can't cook swype installer on my personal rom updates :-(
My U8800 has a ton of junk that I don't want.
They are located in these places:
/system/app/
/cust/unicom/cn/app/
Use root explorer, find the ones you don't want, rename them to "name.apk.bak" and your done.
Be careful in the system/app/ folder, it has important system files.
Also, I found this on hiapk:
我知~~~root了后,联通的垃圾软件在 /cust/unicom/cn/app 里面~~~~好似有2个app不能删~~~
ChinaUnicomCustomize.apk和GPMS.apk不能删.....今日早上就是把ChinaUnicom的那个删了....然后不停重启....
囧.....
If I understand it correctly, deleting the ChinaUnicomCustomize.apk and GPMS.apk, will cause problems. If someone can translate better, that would be great. BaiduSearch.apk also should not be deleted. It caused problems for me.
/cust/unicom/cn/app/ can also be accessed via download mode
Any questions, just ask. If you know of other places that have bloatware, let me know.
I suggest you uninstall a few, backup, uninstall, backup...repeat.
You never know what may be important!!!!

You translate it correctly, but I recommend you get a overseas ROM (like B136), it is much cleaner.
Is there a custom B136 version?
Also, I use China Unicom, so 160 comes pre-configured with APNs, which is convenient.
Is the custom B158 version any good?
I believe you understand Chinese (but not 100% with the Cantonese above). I'm not in mainland China so I never tried Unicom ROM's. And the best China Unicom ROM around seems to be B160. You'd better take a look at those Chinese forums. They're playing with B137 these days.
Yeah, I've been looking at the Chinese forums. Unfortunately, most of the roms don't have google apps installed, which makes them worthless to me. Also, for some reason I could get Plants Vs Zombies to work on some of them.
The best I have found so far is the B136, with all stock apps removed, repartitioned, swap file, rooted and overclocked. It runs perfectly, and handles large games (like Plants Vs Zombies) perfectly.
I do plan to try the B137 and MyCatELB160V3, which if I read correctly has a patch to install goggle apps.
I did figure this out. Before you install a rom, delete all the apps in /cust/unicom/cn/app. Then you will have none of the stock apps. If you do it after the install, it may cause problems.
Good to know that. I never installed any cust apps for China Unicom. Actually I'm using Genokolar's B137 V7 ROM with google apps installed with his instructions. Also with his data repartition patch. It works great. That V7 ROM contains phone, contact and messaging apps from China Unicom, which I replaced with the official B137 apps.

although I'm on a different device, deleting either BaiduSearch.apk or ChinaUnicomCustomize.apk causes no problems at all. and I can flash a google service framework from the ones for CyanogenMod. It works fine, except for a few native Chinese apps ( such as Sogou Input Method, unfortunately )

Nandroid backup is done inside of clockwork recovery which you can use rom manager to boot into.
Custom roms will usually come with busybox, but if you want to update your version you can download busybox installer from market
Not sure what you are doing with google maps, but if you uninstall maps it shouldnt give you a problem reinstalling another google maps apk manually or from market.
If it says read only on system folder then you have not changed to write access. What file browser are you using?
You can absolutely unstall any of the tmobile bloatware including tmobile tv. If you want a precooked rom that has all of this stuff removed and is stock in every other way then check the link in my sig for my mysense rom. It may be exactly what you are looking for.
Hi everybody.
Im customizing my Note 3 N9005 rooted with the latest firmware I7.
I made a mistake using ROM Toolbox Pro and i stopped the service Exchange. That made my email application not function so i lost both services.
I made a backup of both before i touch anything but when i try to reinstall them with the same ROM Toolbox Pro, the program says it cant do it. Also with Roote Explorer into that application (very usefull with lots of options).
I also made a copy of all the APK into my Exsdcard and put the two APK with and without the ODEX files and nothing. In security i disable the setting that will allow to install them but nothing works. I even restart the phone with various settings and nothing changes.
So weird that original stocks APK cant be installed back.
Their name are SecEmail_Japk and SecExchange.apk. I reasure that i have both safely backed up but i cant install them again.
I tried K-9 but im acustom to this email apk. I also read something about flashing them but i dont even know how to do that (and make it worst).
Any help with this??
Thank you
I have tried uninstalling them through multiple apps in the playstore and it always says failed. I am rooted and I want to use the stock rom for now until the data issues are patched. I have disabled the apps I just don't want the on my phone. The facebook apps you can't disable the update. I don't trust facebook and I don't want anything to do with it on my phone so if anyone know's how to remove them please let me know. Thank you.

BEFORE READING, MAKE A BACKUP PRIOR TO THIS ANSWER:
I'm sorry to say, but it would need to be done using the file manager via TWRP. It is a lil tricky because it lacks concise deletion. So it is best to use a rooted file explorer (es file explorer is beneficial for this) and look around these locations:
/system/app
/system/priv-app
/oem/app
/oem/priv-app
Each folder holding the apk must be deleted individually in TWRP's file manager, or you WILL face a possible soft-brick.
Good luck.
(The reason why is, because the oem section is more secure to avoid a break of the phone itself, so it will freeze everytime while the actual OS is in use. Doing it via TWRP ensures deletion and avoiding a freeze bc the recovery OS is different from stock OS)
