[Q] Adding apps to ROM - Desire General

Pitbull_Raven said:
(...) I am trying to add my most used apk's to the ROM so they'll install upon flashing. I added all my apk files to system/apps dir as told, but after flash and first boot, only 1 of the 19 apps is present. What am I missing?

Hi guys and gals! If anyone with experience out there could help out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Trying to add to Redux 1.2.

Not a DEV or anything but i have flashed many roms in my time but i can tell you this, from my experience i can tell you that i assume there is some kind of file size/type limitation when you add apps to a ROM as i have attempted adding poweramp, ADW EX, mybackup root, file manager (from AOSP builds) and a few other apps that i use to the ROM but it will only install rom manager, mybackup root, file manager and the balance will FC each time i attempt to launch the app and if i want to use it i have to install the app again.
The only flawless solution is the method the RC team is using on their current RCMixS ROMS.
That is heavy coding on another level.

[Q] DSP Manager on Juggernaut?

I know the DSP Manager is from the CyanogenMod and this question should be asked in the Juggernaut ROM section, but here it is anyways.
I want to know if it is possible to install DSP Manager and make it fully functional, while on the Juggernaut Rom? Also, if anyone knows how, please could you write up a tutorial of some sort?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Bump! +10 Char!
I'm using it on Juggernaut 3.7 ROM. You need the dsp manager apk. Google it for the apk, then search how to install apk android. The forum won't allow me to post links just yet. It's not too difficult to install.
Apparently, for the Manager to work, I need to change base system frameworks, could you please write how to make the Manger work please?

How did you get this to work??
I know from the vibrant, that Samsung uses a customized libaudio.so ..... I tried to switch this out for the same dsp and got a kernel panic ...
Yeah seriously! How do we get DSP Manager working?!
I can't really explain why it isn't working for you. I used these forums as a guide to install it. I also know you could flash Beast Mod 2.0, as it has dsp manager built in. Use titanium backup to back up the app and data for it. RE flash current rom. Then just restore it from there.
Hey there is an app that you get in the market that installs it for you. I am using it on juggernat 4.1 and I have used it on many other roms. The name of the app is root tool box pro. I forget if I had to pay for it or not but it cant be more than $2.00. It installs it for you so you dont have to worry about doing anything. It has a bunch of goodies I think that you go to the menu called other and then you go to install cyanogen dsp manager.

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod 7.2

Hi all,
I'm a beginner in the world of smartphone, but i'm interested by installing a custom ROM on my phone, especially CyanogenMod 7.2.
But i saw that apart from ROM, there is also custom Kernel...
My question is: If il install CyanogenMod 7.2 by phiexz, i have to install also the custon kernel developed by himself? Or his kernel is included with the rom?
Thanks you and sorry for my bad english
The kernel is included in the rom, you don't need to install it again.

Thanks you very much!
The kernel is simply for other Roms. Supposedly, you can use the kernel with the stock Rom, but i could never get it working.
Also, before you go flashing roms, get yourself a copy of Clockworkmod Recovery. It's saved my bacon more than once.

You should probably create a new thread for this question, as it doesn't have any relation to the original post... Makes it far easier to keep track of issues, and help provided.

It is just you.
At least widgets are working for me (didn't try that "3d weather" one, but others are working fine).
Make sure you didn't force install it to SD - widgets and launchers won't work when placed to SD.

[Q] Application suggestion

Hello, I am new to this so have few things to ask more experienced users.
1. I have Rom manager. I got Premium version (the same version 5.0.0.6) but when I tried to install it I get a message 'cannot install'.
2. I would like to replace the default messaging app in Cyanogen to be Handcent SMS. How to do this?
3. What app do you suggest for finding your phone if lost and erasing and locking it? In the stock rom-s by At&t and HTC there was one in HTC sense.
4. What other good roms are there which are stable next to Cyanogen?
Thank you. As I said I am new and eager to learn ;-).
Most cyanogen variants like absolution and black ice are stable and have there own tool sets I prefer them to standard cyanogen install...most sense are stable its trial and error dude. You can theme pretty much all of them anyway. Ics is still in development..most of it's working sweet. As for SMS you just get it from the market I thought. I don't personally use it..to many opitions haha. A lot of things you lose from sense roms you'll find in third party apps anyways

1. Did you actually buy the premium version of did you download it from somewhere?
2. Download Handcent sms. Open the ROM.zip and navigate to /system/app. Place the handcent.apk in that folder and delete the stock sms apk. Close the window, place the ROM.zip into the root of your sd card and flash through recovery. Always do a wipe/format before flashing a new ROM.

[Q] How to start an app when the system loads?

Hi,
I'm a new one here. I wonder if anyone can answer my question. I just got my phone rooted and installed a custom rom that I made through Android Kitchen. I'm now trying to add an app and make it start whevener the Android system starts.
Thanks in advance!
Le
You can use init.d script if your rom supports init.d. If not there are several apps on the market such as autostart root, tasker, llama, and probably others.

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.
