Hi everyone. My problem if fairly simple I think. I am using an update.zip to update the OS on my Ainol Paladin Tablet. The contents of the APK folder has about 40 different apps, most of which are Chinese. I would like to delete most of them, but then add a few of my own, so that can update several tablets quickly without having to change a ton of settings afterward.
I tried simply unzipping, moving apk's around, and rezipping, but it comes up with an error when trying to load(cant recall error)
I am wondering as well, If I can change the default language and time settings just as easy.
Thanks for any answers.

Hi guys, I was wondering how you would go about personalizing ROMs for your own use. Nothing code-wise, but installed programs and such. Opening up the zip files of downloaded ROMs I see the apk files and the system apk files - is it really as easy as just removing those you don't want and plotting in the ones that you do?
If this rom is from the same board as you, can say so.
But, .. you still need to run a linux terminal the code to sign the package that you previously made with same special files..
Just the search tools and you'll find it!
...You can easily too start porting rom's too...
Hello all,
I am new here and just got my Galaxy S 4g. I am used to creating themes on the iphone and am getting very frustrated with this phone so far. I have rooted my phone, and also downloaded go launcher and a couple widgets. and a couple different file explorers.
Problems I am having is that everyone says the apps and themes are located in the phones data folder. My data folder is always blank with nothing inside. I search for the exact name or location of the apps and it says 0 files. I look at the apps running and details of them tell me they are in the /data folder, but My folder says empty. I even have the show hidden files checked.
Also I am trying to find a way to browse the phones files (not the memory card files) from my computer. I have now read over hundreds of pages of searches and can not find any answers.
Please help me.
the files that you are going to want to find are the framework-res.apk and twframework.apk.
those files are located in the system/framework/
i use android commander to push and pull files cause it is the easiest for me. you will need winrar to unzip the apk's but if you want to edit the .9.png's you will need APK manager to unpack the .9.png's and Ultimate Compiler to recompile after you edit or the png's will stretch wrong and look horrible.
There is a link on the main Android Themes page on XDA that has a wonderful write up in PDF about theming...
ill see what else i can post when i have time later to help you out.
Guys,
I just made the move from a 3GS to the Galaxy 4G, and need to install 2 custom fonts, that i created, on the phone.
On the iphone, i was able to add the files to the fonts folder, and change an XML file to make it work...how do i do that on this phone?
Thanks.
Anyone???
I managed to add my font files to the font folder, on the phone...fonts are still not showing up right. What do i need to do to have the phone recognize the new installed files?
Am i posting in the wrong forum?
What i am asking is impossible to do??
No one around here wants to help???
I'd like to help, but I have no idea how.
A quick Google search found this, though.
Hi all! Have been having a play with UpdatezipCreator for windows. Put all of the .apk files into a folder called:
“System”
As suggested in the UpdatezipCreator wiki. However, when I run the gapps file in clockwork Mod, it completely ignores what I have done. Also, for some reason, it places all files into a directory, one level down and the directory is called whatever I have named the .zip. is this normal or, am I missing some vital step. Would like to get this working as I would like to add missing accessibility components to the gapps file that I am using in order to get ICS talking out of the box with my Sony Xperia Pro. Am also interested in getting this going so that I can assist other visually impaired users with this. Finally, am open to creating gapps files with other methods in Windows. Thanks in advance for all help with this. It’s really appreciated!
Hello guys.
I am wondering if there's any option/programme/app that can detect changes in apk files.
For example:
A dev releases a mod for something, let's say swaps a .png files to a custom .png and shares the mod in a thread.
And i want the same mod but in a different .png.
Now i can ofcourse ask the dev to do it, which is easy but i wont learn anything.
So i decide to try to make it for myself, but having no past experience with android i don't know how to do it.
And here's where the app/programme comes in (if there is one, ofc). A software that can detect any kinds of changes after decompiling apk files. Now many of you know that apk files have several folders inside, and inside those folder are various files.
So this software (if it exists) could be able to detect changes in the modded apk compared to my unmodded apk, and tell me where exactly the change(s) have been made.
In this way i don't need to bother a dev, and i maybe start to learn how to mod special areas of my phones UI.
Thanks for any reply!
Good day!
