Integrate apps to custom rom some help!.

Hi im using OD's rom, but i wanna make some personal stuff to it.
I have found out to integrate apks to the zip file, but after i integrate the apps and install it on my desire, it does not show the files on the market under downloads.
Is there any way to let them show up in there so i could uninstall them if thats what i want?.

Download any app from the market and they should show up... you are putting them in /data/app and not /system/app aren't you?

Thanks for the reply.

Okay i tryed to make the folder data and inside that i made the app folder and placed all the apk i need.
Seems not to work they dont install automatic when installing the custom rom?

Put them in /data/app. They will show up. If they don't, you're doing something wrong.

ehm, okay.
I took opendesire 3.6.0. i opend it with winrar and made the folder data and app folder, in the root of the zip file okay? its not there on standard. And then i putted the files in in zip file and signed it.
It does not work. Is there a guide somewhere?. Have trying to search but no luck yet.

bump!.......

when you install an app without using the market, there is no market link for the market to... well... link to.
I use aTrackDog to keep track of my constant backups and flashes etc. it even provides you a market link if you want to update.
Have a look at Titanium Backup as a different way of keeping market links. when restored it can restore the market link necessary for it to show up in the market downloads section

If there is no /data/app folder in the ZIP then simply adding it won't work as the update script won't look for it and flash them - you'd need to ask AdamG (or someone else) to add the lines to the script to make the ROM flash that information as well...

Deleting System Apps

Rooted using Unrevoked. Have Root Explorer installed and Titanium. I know the system apps are in the folder: System/Apps When using Root Explorer I don't have the options. To uninstall the apps bit I can delete them. However, after deleting them the programs are still there. Same thing happens when I try to do it with Titanium. Is there something I'm overlooking?

System Apps do not get installed/uninstalled. Deleting them is all you need to to. However, since it appears you are still running the stock ROM you need to make sure you delete the corresponding odex file too.
I only had the stock ROM for about a day before I rooted and installed a different ROM (which was deodexed). BUT, I recall reading that both files need to be deleted.

I suggest that instead of deleting the files place them in a backup folder just in case you might need them later on. As mentioned before you must move the APK and its associated ODEX file if it has one. Sprint applications tend to be updated so uninstall the updates then move the Sprint applications using the aforementioned method.

so i have to move the sprint apk files and odex files (if applicable) before I can delete them? I already tried deleting them w/o backing them up or changing their location but they keep coming back!

Are you mounting the apps folder with "rw" privileges before deleting?

Yes, I am. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I swear to god these ****ing apps come right back after I reboot the phone. I delete them with Titanium and/or Root Explorer and after a little while they pop up again. I have no idea what is going on. I rooted with Unrevoked 3.21...maybe something didn't go right?
I also can't get BusyBox to install which is a major pain in da ass because so many apps need it

[Q] One click install all apk file?

Hi. Sometimes(most of the time) whenever we wish to switch to try another custom ROM, we have to wipe all data and hence all the downloaded app will gone. As a result of that, before we even flash new ROMs, we have to do a back-up of all the downloaded app, turning them into apk file into our SD card so that its easier to again reinstall those app.
My question is, is there any app that we can use to install ALL the apk files in our SD Card all at once in just a click of one or two taps? Because its tedious for us to actually install those apps one by one. Especially for me that have installed many apps in my Desire HD.
Thank you. =)

Well, your google backup restores all the market apps automatically, so you do not need to worry about those.
You can copy your apk files into /data/app/ in the rom zip file. Then you do not even have to install them, they will be ready to use immediately.

Oh yea.. I did not even thought of that. Lol. Thank you so much.

[Q] VeNuM ROM Question - Removed Apps

Hey guys, I just installed VeNuM's new ROM version, but I can't install the removed apk's. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Push them to the /system/apps folder and reboot
I use root explorer to do this

That didn't work. Maybe I'm not reading it right. Could you expand for a newbie?

Which apps are you trying to install?

You need to set the permissions too... after copying the apk to system/apps long click it and go to permissions and then set too: read/owner on, Group on, others on. Then Write/owner on (turning on by clicking the corresponding box). All the other boxes will be empty. Hit OK. This will make sense when you do it... Reboot phone... You should be good to go...

VeNum ROM Question
Again, sorry for being such a Noob here, but I really like this ROM and desparately want to use it.
So, you said to extract the APKs to the "system/app" folder. I didn't see it a "system or a App" folder, or I'm not in the right place. I am viewing the files structure via Root Explorer on my phone.
Thanks for the patience and the help.

All the basic Epic Touch apks. Weather, clock, gmail, etc.

Permissions
Ok, I found the files, placed the apks where you said to, changed the permissions as instructed, but the apk still will not install.
I'm trying to install the Samsung Weather apk. Some will install, but most of the original system apks won't.
Any clue?

Android 6.0, install system apps

Does anyone know if there is a way to install apps manually?
I know in KitKat, you could place .apk's in the /system/app folder, or /data/app folder, restart, and have your apps installed. Just wondering if there's some method to achieve the same outcome in Marshmallow (i.e. Android 6.0).
I have some of the Samsung apps, like snote, that I would like to still use if possible. Any ideas of help are appreciated. Thanks.

You could always try it the same way. Just move the folder and apk files to system/app or system/priv-app and set the permissions like the rest of the folders and apps. The folders should be set to 0755 and the apk files to 0644. Then reboot to test the apps after that. I would recommend doing them one at a time to test them. Where did you get the apps from? It would be good to get a whole 6.0+ based ROM to make sure you put them in the correct path.

Thanks very much for your reply. Sorry I'm just getting back to this (after like 2 months), wasnt trying to be rude or unappreciative, just been busy.
I had extracted the apps from a couple of other roms, lollipop based. Its basically some of the samsung apps, for the note. Before upgrading to 6.0 I had a stock/rooted kitkat rom. I was used to using SNOTE for note taking, and liked the abiltiy to take 360° photos withe samsung camera surround effect. I realize that most people probably see these as bloatware, but I havent really seen anything comparable.
