Pull the files with adb to your PC and edit them...
Then push it back...
Make sure debug is enabled and you have root

Use the common System application remove methods to remove stock Facebook and map. (tested myself no problem) then from the market install the version. Then those will behave like other 3rd party applications. No adb. Just modify your apk and install it back like other apps

everytime i replace a file like the bg color in the extracted folder and make it and .apk again when i try to install it i get an error if i extracted and make it again an .apk without changes works like a charm. So i don't know what's going wrong

You need to sign it look for auto-sign.zip on here and download place the edited apk in the unzipped auto sigb folder then run tge .bat file which will sign the apk and create a new cop called your_signed_app.apk

This is what i have done. I took the modified apk in zip type put it in the auto-sign folder and then rename it to update.zip. I then run the sign.bat and gives me the update_signed.zip. I install it to my phone successfully now but although the facebook application works fine the widget can't load.

keep it as .apk for unsigned and signed version dont have it as a zip, ive posted a thread with my adw with black google

i know that i am wasting your time but i searched the forum and i can't find something similar. Can you guide me how to modify and fix an .apk step by step if you have time ?

Im at work now il have a go tonight. If you attach the apj il try sign it for you. Took ne a few times to get a workubg auto sigb ckuld be that il post my one tonight. Excuse the typos swypes expires lol stock

I have signed the .apk and installed in the phone the application runs smootly but the widget can't load

Adding elements of shipped ROM to CyanogenMod 6.1.2

After using CM 6.1.2 RC2 for a day, I find that I miss certain things that come in the shipped MT4G ROM and I'm wondering if there's a way to get them into the custom ROM. In no particular order:
1. Contacts App
I really like the shipped ROM contacts app over this one. I did an adb pull /system/app for both the shipped ROM and CM 6.1.2 RC2. The shipped ROM has htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex, but no Contacts.apk. CM 6.1.2 RC2 has Contacts.apk. Could I transfer htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex to the sdcard and install them? Will this give me the shipped contacts app? Or are there other things not included in CM 6.1.2 that are necessary for the shipped Contacts app to function?
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Essentially the same question as #1. In this case, both ROMs have a Calendar.apk, and the shipped ROM additionally has htccalendarwidgets.apk and htccalendarwidgets.odex. Can I replace CM's Calendar.apk with the shipped ROM's version and add the calendarwidgets?
3. Icons and sound files
I'd like to grab some of the icons and sound files that come packaged in the shipped ROM. If they're on internal memory, I just need to do an adb pull and place them on the sdcard, and from there I can access them through the launcher. Does anyone know where those files might be?
Thanks in advance

1. Contacts App
Based on HTC Framework. By the time you're done importing necessary libs/framework resources you're going to end up with Sense rom. However, there many replacement apps on the market, some are very similar to Sense, try them out.
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Same thing as #1.
3. Icons and sound files
This is too general to answer exactly but
You can put sounds on your sd card using following folder structure
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
sdcard/media/audio/alarms
sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They will show up along with included ringtones/alarms/notifications after reboot
As far as icons - not sure what you mean.
This thread screams Q&A section.

The contacts, calendar, and Widgets are closed source HTC apps so you wont find them in CM..try launcher pro plus...it has some very nice Widgets that u might like. And for sounds and icons you can use metaporph to change icons and create a folder called media in your SD card with the sound files u like

Thanks for the responses. It appears I need to do some more research with regard to the contacts and calendar apps.
Let me try to rephrase #3: The shipped ROM had icons and sound files already loaded onto the device when it came out of the box, probably part of HTC Sense. For instance, the icon for the Messages app is not the green android speech bubble, it looks more like a rolodex card. The icon for the contacts app is different as well. The notification sound I used was pre-loaded on the shipped ROM but is not included in CM. And so on.
I have a backup of the shipped ROM. If I know were these files are located, I can flash back to shipped, adb pull the files I want to my PC, reflash back to CM, and go from there.
Hope that makes sense (not Sense ). I'm happy to do the legwork so long as I know what I'm doing.

Please do not post discussions in Development section.

A lot easier would be to download a stock rom then extracting nandroids (unthemed iced glacier would be a perfect rom to do that)
All ringtones are loacated in /system/media/audio - you can just copy the whole media folder to the root of your sd card or get individual rings.
All apps are located in /system/app/ To get your icons - you need to open up each individual apk and look in "res" folder. Somewhere in either "drawable" or 'drawable-hdpi" subfolders you will find icons. Or you can download espresso icon pack for the market and extract all icons from there (if there's s such a thing.)
Good luck.

Thanks borodin1, I did manage to get those audio files via ADB. About the icons, what do I use to open up an apk?

7zip is good and will open .apk out of the box but any zip utilities will open up apk files, just have to know how to work them... I think that if you use WinZip you have to rename file to .zip and it will work just fine. No sure about others.... I use 7zip because it's free and works great.
Good luck.

The perfect way to achieve what you want is install Launcher Pro Plus on your CM rom. You get the sense like widgets such as the calendar app and you can change the icons of the messaging app and replace it with the "rolodex card" look that you wish. And You can unzip an iced glacier rom and extract the audio files from there and put it on your Sd card under media then notifications, that's what I did to keep my text and call sounds that came with the phone.
Anyways, hope that helped!

[Q] Restoring stock edit menu icons after theming?

Hey everybody, this is my first post here.
I recently installed Rubix Focused and the Linear theme for it. All is well and good except that some of the edit menu icons are themed and some are not. This really bugs me and I wanted to change them all back to the stock icons. I've found the icons inside of the framework.apk inside the linear theme zip, but when I replace them via 7zip and try to reinstall the theme, they aren't changed and my phone pretty much flips out.
Also some of the icons for other programs (Gmail, others) are also changed, I'm assuming whatever would work to fix the ones inside the framework apk would also work for changing out the icons in those specific apps.
So how do I go about doing this? I thought it would be a simple fix but I'm thinking I'm missing something during the process.

If you use the rubix zip u flashed...
Open it up with 7zip and pull ouy everything but the framwork-res.apk
Then reflash the new zip. I believe u can do this...read it in this forum somewhere...

Would I be reflashing Rubix's framework or the theme's (Linear)? The modified icons came from the theme installation.

Use the rubix framework if you want them to look like the stock rubix icons.

I replaced the icons in the theme with the icons I wanted and replace the framework file in the original theme's zip and deleted everything else, keeping the file structure to the framework file intact. It freezes whenever I try to install it now.

What process and exact steps did you take to do this?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Alrighty, I ended up getting something to work. I used another simple theme mod's zip file and replaced the framework file with mine and installed fine. I'm guessing it had to do with signage or something.j Would life have been made easier if I used apk manager?

Yes, if you are just replacing images, apk manager would probably make life easier...
Sorry I didn't think to mention this before... was just trying to think of the easiest method to get you back to where you wanted to be in terms of look/feel.

[Q] back to stock camera/gallery

OK so it did replace the camera and xml but still no change to the wallpaper settings still will not let me do a full screen size wallpaper will still crop it any thing else i can try?

What launcher does it have? ADW has an option to not have the wallpaper scroll, and lets you do full screen instead of the square I believe. Either that or drop some properly scaled and sized wallpapers into the wallpaper directory. I don't think you ever have to crop those ones.

if you download a rom which has the stock camera/gallery such as the Revolution HD 1.1.7 Rom, unzip the Rom, go into the /system/app/ directory and copy out the HTCCamer.apk and put it on your SD card. Then copy out media_profiles.xml file from the /system/etc/ directory and put it on your SD card.
Then on your phone using a root file explorer mount the file system as writable and then copy those two files to the same directories on your phone.
ES File Explorer has in the settings Root settings and you can toggle Root Explorer and Mount File System. You need to enable both of those tick boxes in order to copy the files.
I hope that is what you were after. I'm not sure if gallery is included in the camera apk, but that will restore your camera to stock.

Perfect I will try that thanks

Sorry forgot to mention you will need to reboot after following my instructions.
You might just need to do a superwipe and then reinstall your ROM of choice.
It will fix your problem quick smart. You can back up your phone pretty easily. I've wiped my phone about 5 times in the last two days.

[Q] Put Apps On Lockscreen

I recently installed Speedrom and pushed the HTClockscreen.apk as well as the 5 idlescreen apk's to my system/apps folder in order to view the caller ID while using Speedrom. However, I want to also be able to put app launcher on my lockscreen (like stock ICS). Is that possible? If so, what do you have to do? Thanks!
