Got this almost sorted need help :) - General Questions and Answers

Ok so I got the lenovo s880i googlefied. All is syncing and I have cleaned all the crap from lenovo on it. Now, I have some more questions : How can I find the system APK for system languages? I wang to add some european languages. It is android 4.0.4 ICS. I installed GO desktop too, wich is a way better launcher/desktop than the crap lebovo default. How can I make it the default system launcher ? Will it work if I just place the apk in to system/app and erase the original desktop? Or should I link it to the system somehow? Then finally I would like to replace the stock phone dial module for the original ICS one. Is that possible or it's a compiled part instead of an apk?
Many thanks!!

For the system apk's why don't you try with titanium backup, it has this as a feature, it works fine (tried only twice, with no issues whatsoever )

Hey thanks to those responding ! I know already that you can do that with titanium. I prefer to do that manually though, as I alredy know the file system. Can somebody experienced with coding and more knowledge abou the system internals come five a hand here?

I'm not sure about that one. My guess is no. I'm sure it depends on xperia framework. But you can always make a backup and try. I can try to find a xperia themed stock SMS for your. What ROM are you running?

You can get swype. I haven't tried it on jb yet but it worked on ics.
Swype.beta.com or something like that

Flashing new build ROM of CyanogenMod 12.1 for I9305

Hello,
First I am new to this forum and I did a root and flashed a custom ROM on my I9305, the CyanogenMod 12.1 of winxuser. The OS works flawless. I did with CWM recovery mode and rooted with SuperU.
My question is this: If a new version is uploaded and I want to flash it on my device, what are the steps to do it right without loosing my personal apps installed on the device? In the future its posible to exist new build of the custom ROM that I am using right now.
Thanks for the answers in advance, and sorry if my question exists anywhere on this forum, i searched and didnt find anything.

And the titanium backup is made from my CWN recovery or its a third party app on Google Play?
Thired party app on google.
Using CWM recovery you can make a nandroid backup. But cant restore the data to a whole new rom.
One roms data is not tooo good with another rom.
Nandroid backup stores your syatem, data, catch, doot, recovery for future refrence.

Use those two to backup your data and rom settings, then clean flash the cm nightly

Try using cyandelta, you dont have to download the whole zip file every time you want to update. It just downloads the new added updates. Here's the link check it out. . http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6TUtVq-j8E
Thanks for the useful link above with the CyanDelta, but for my ROM is not quite the proper mode to update my ROM because its an unofficial one. Untill we will have it officially I can not use the app.
Glad that I found it tho.
So you are planning to flash another rom
