So I rooted and Flashed a new Rom. I flashed CoreDroid I also Flashed LeeDroid Patch for the Color mod. It works great, but I have one Problem. When I open Root Explorer I wont give me read write in the Build.prop. I want to do the tweaks that are out., but I cant. I have tired to uninstall and reinstall the app, but still no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Firstly, this should have been posted in the Q&A section as your issue really is neither an app nor a theme! Your issue is you are having trouble editing the build.prop. Secondly, make two back ups of your build.prop and make your edits to one of the back ups. Then copy and paste to /system making sure to overwrite the original, reboot and you're done.

I couldn't find an appropriate thread to place this under, but this looked like the most logical.
I recently rooted my phone and installed a custom rom on it. The Smoked Glass v6.0.1. I find the default apps very annoying and found a way to make them disapear. I changed the .apk file in the/system/app section to .bak.
Well in this rom the Voice Search app is also connected with the Android keyboard. If I remove the Voice Search I also remove the virtual keyboard. The app is called VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk.
So I changed it to .bak and tried to install the android stock keyboard called LatinIME.apk. I also found the libjni_latinime.so. I pushed these to my phone using the SDK tool. One to the /system/lib and the other to /system/app. When I booted my phone up I didn't get the keyboard. So I also pushed the LatinIME.odex over to the /system/app file and it still didn't work. The phone ended up not being able to boot up, so I had to go into flash recovery and back up the phone.
So I am just wondering what am I doing wrong? I know this may not make sense as to why I just don't deal with the extra icon. But I don't know, I just want it perfect I quess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find the solution.
I have humble 5.0 running and added the red and black theme to it. This caused me to lose the aosp lockscreen. Is there anything I can do short of reflashing humble to get the lockscreen back? I know there are apps like Golocker and magic locker, but I've experienced performance issues With these and would like to avoid them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
U could extract the android.policy.jar from humble5zip and overwrite the one that's on ur phone now with root explorer. its in system /framework
here ya go .just copy the old one to ur SD card just in case .of course if u get undesired results just reflash that theme
Edit....I pulled this from humble 5 rc2
I'm positive this works cuz i did it yesterday on the test rom Danalo1979 tweeted
Thanks for The help guys. How do I go about replacing the file? Just use root explorer?

Yea just copy and paste it in system/framework and overwrite the old one and reboot
I replaced the file with the one I downloaded from the thread and did a reboot. Nothing changed. Any other ideas?
And ur sure it replaced the other one,you hit mount system r/w in top right corner of root explorer? Let me check ...I guess i could have uploaded the backup of the stock one I made when i did this
Give me a minute. I'll upload the one that I'm using now. That one I extracted from the humble zip
alright I know this is it ..just pulled from system/framework
It says mounted as r/o... How would I Change that?
There should be a white button right beside that to the right. Just press it and it should change to r/w.
When u do it, it will ask u if u want to replace the file cuz it already exists. Hit yes
OK I got it!
Few things I had to realize... Root explorer and explorer aren't the same apps, even though the Icons are nearly identical. I got lockscreen back as desired. Just a side note, I lost the extended power menu that came with black and red theme. No big deal to me, just a side effect of replacing the File. Again.... Thanks for all of the Help.
Glad I could help. Yea i forgot it'd change the power menu but I don't use it anyway. I use quickboot from the market. Has reboot,recovery and bootloader. Plus version has hotboot option.
Yep. Quickboot installed here also.
The awesome coredroid theme will give you both options (lock screen + power menu options). It also gives you crt off animation.

Is there any in existence? I mean roman's tweaks settings, for adding battery percentage and crt animations for our phone.

have you tried hitting up Blue, since he is the keeper of the ROM that roman started? otherwise, how about pulling the tweaks.apk out of a Bulletproof ROM and putting it into /system/app of your current ROM? i'm not sure if it's that simple or not, but could be worth a try.

What you can do is use Root Explorer to move it to /system/app while the phone is on, then set the permissions (long press on it, permissions is in the menu that pops up - scroll down) to look like the permissions of every other file in the /app folder.
Edit: to quote myself from explaining how to do it before:
Stop all apps that require market licensure to work, halt the market processes, delete the old vending.apk. Then you have to delete the market data directory at /data/data/com.android.vending and find the dalvik-cache file that belongs to the market ( [email protected]@[email protected] ) and delete that too.
Then you rename the new market .apk file to Vending.apk and use root explorer to copy it into your /system/app directory. Once there, you long-press on the Vending.apk file and select 'permissions' from the menu that pops up.
Change the permissions to read/write for owner, read for group, read for others, and nothing for the bottom 3 check boxes. Now it reads rw-r--r-- like all the other apps in the /system/app directory.
Then you reboot your phone and it should work, but you should clear the whole dalvik-cache in recovery, and you should clear cache in recovery too, so all the dependencies on the market get rebuilt the right way.

Then, reboot the phone, and see how much of the app works.
You should be able to get it installed that way, but if not my thread on Replacing the Google Market would be a good place to start learning how to make your own flashable zip file.
Just replace the market with whatever app you can't push to /system/app normally and you should be good.
Some third party apps don't run well or at all from the /system/app partition, they just expect to be in /data/app ... but some will. The one you're playing with works fine from in the /system/app directory.
Might want to look into this thread by Romanbb: Extended Quick Settings as well.
Romanbb's awesome tweaks are worth the work - I couldn't imagine using the device without them now, and am definitely looking at playing with it some. The one thing i'm struck by as a user more then anything else, i'd like to be able to change the order of the quick settings in the actual pull-down menu.
I want flashlight first, full settings second, then i'll figure out the rest of the order as I go, but both volume settings go dead bottom with me.
I haven't had the time to sit down and do it, but that's the next ability i'm interested in acquiring with regards to that. I can't wait to get my phone back so I can start making some progress again.
Meantime, i'll be in and out and others floating around here I know can steer you right if you need it - you lose nothing 'cept time for trying (you did do backups before you started playing around, right?).
Hi, I made Tweak.zip (i extracted tweak.apk from booletproof 1.1) for flash it by CWM, but don't works fine.
After flashed, the app is in /system/app with 0644 permissions, but with no visible changes, where was i wrong?
Can you help me? In attach my file.

The tweaks need coded into the ROM, It's not as simple as just installing the apk, I would think some SystemUI smali needs edited also for any tweaks to Rosie, the Rosie.apk smali files will need an edit, so it knows what to change otherwise your just looking at the possibilities of the tweaks app.
I just did a Rosie remap for my Sense 2.1+3.0 Speedy ROM, and even though the option had always been in MikTweaks I had decompile tweaks to activate the remap option for my ROM ( by default It's turned off for Sense 2.1 ROMS ). Then I had to decompile Rosie and make the smali change. Then compile and resign both apps and i was good.

If you are really needing those tweaks, you can use the kitchen to apply most of them.
Compile? Decompile? More difficult for me then... I abadone the idea to realize Tweaks.zip.
Sorry.

Hi, I hope someone can help me with my problem:
I run an HTC Sensation, with the latest ICS leak, and have a mod I want to apply, which is an AOSP-ized Settings.apk.
The problem is that if I adb push it onto the phone (/system/app), it does not show in the main menu, like its not installed.
BUT if I first install the stock Settings.apk, boot the phone, reboot into CWM and then flash the modded Settings.apk, it works just fine...
Does the stock Settings.apk alter anything that the second one needs?
I am attaching the modded one if anyone would be willing to help me find the problem...
Thanks!
Kristof
I've got a similar issue.
I wish to install an AOSP settings.apk & settingsUI.apk but I can't find the directory to paste them in. I then made a folder and placed them in there and installed them via ES File Explorer and the changes weren't applied.
downloaded and installed latest build of illusion ROM.
its fantastic but i am missing the phone app.
its listed in system/app.
im able to make calls from the people app and from messaging.
I used ES explorer to get to System/app to delete phone.apk and replace it with a different one but it would nto allow me to overwrite or delete the apk.
id really like to try this ROM, anybody got any help?
in the meantime the only other idea i have is to reflash AOKP and see if it comes up.
going to use the same Gapps (justinbean inverted) and see if it changes anything.
any help appreciated.
