Modifying update.zip File

[dgnyberg]

There are options you have to set to use root access features.

That would explain it. I'll look into that next.

BTW, any way to get that sad face off the title of the thread.
It depresses me when I go to access the thread.
This is a HAPPY Thread!!

OK, got GC setup for ROOT and it works GREAT too!!
I like the dual pane mode.
Is there a drag and drop option for copying files?
I know, I can look, but I'm being lazy!!

First, open the destination folder in one pane. Then, in the other pane, just select the file(s) you want to copy by tapping on the left part of the file info line. This should highlight it/them. Now simply tap the Copy or Move option.

OK, I just tried Norton Utilities and it works very well.
A long press on the application and a menu appears with options,
one of which is to copy the installation file to the SDCARD.
I then gives you the option of which card to copy it to.

I LIKE IT!!!

THANKS!!

i know! im awesome :-)

With root explorer you can also back up Apps under the app manager and you can then copy the backup app to sdcard

I modified the update.zip before flashing also. I deleted some user apps and system apps. In the user apps i deleted...
-Backgammon
-Euchre
-GenericMOG
-Hearts
-KSMobile
-LogMeIn
-NFSShift
-PrinterShare
-QuickOffice
-Solitaire
-Spades
-ToshibaBookPlace
-ToshibaRegistration
-ToshibaUserGuide

In the system apps i deleted...
-Earth-v1.2.2.apk (live wallpaper)
-Galaxy4.apk (live wallpaper)
-Sky-v1.2.2.apk (live wallpaper)

I also added DSP Manager to system apps, from what i read it need to be in system apps to work properly. You should also be able to delete talkback.apk from system apps(its an accessibility app for visually impaired), unless you need it of course. I have it disabled as i found out what it was after flashing rom. Also you can delete bookstablet.apk if you dont use google books. Taking out all the apps i mentioned(including talkback and bookstablet) and adding dsp manager the zip is 242mb.

I have talkback, googlebooks, google play movies and tv, and service station disabled on mine as i didnt remove them before flashing. Not sure which one is service station. I also disabled musicFX but got errors so i enabled it again, prob not good idea to delete it.

PROCEED AT OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do the same thing. Adding tweaks to the build.prop and deleting apks I don't want. Anybody know how to add init.d support?

I haven't tried it as i have no idea what it is but ran across it figured it may be useful to you.
