Android Customization Suite 1.0
This is a program to complement your ROM. It is able to produce a CWM flashable zip with apps your ROM might be missing (T-Mob ones, launchers, utilities, etc). It also has other tools available for you. It can produce an empty flashable zip for you (read more about it here). And now, it has "repositories." Developers can upkeep their own repos with whatever files they wish. Roms, themes, mods, etc.
need Fascinate Devs to talk to me to get their work added on here!
in the mean time, you guys can mess with the Utilities in the Vibrant section just to get a feel for it

Instructions
Download. Note: you must have Java installed to run this app
WHILE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Unzip the folder. Please keep it intact. Moving files around in there will probably break the functionality.
Run ACS.jar.
Choose desired apps.
Wiping Dalvik cache is recommended, but it will take you about 5 minutes to boot
Copy flash.zip to your internal sd card
Flash with CWM
Linux users: if you are running Linux I advise you to use the run.sh file to run the program, otherwise it may use your home directory to store files
Mac users: you need to have java 1.6 installed for this to work. i tested this on a friend's mac (running 10.5.8 & java 1.5) and it wasn't working. also i was not able to update her java to 1.6 either. so i'm assuming you need to have snow leopard installed for this to work...
Devs:
Check out this reference guide for more info on setting up a repo list. Feel free to contact me for any clarification. It's really not hard to do it, just have to understand how the app works a little. The guide should give insight and instruction. Contact me to add your repo to the list.
Options Note
If you want to change the location of system apps, please make your selections first THEN change the location

Media Mentions
XDA Front Page (v0.3)
Android Spin (v0.4)
This looks like a really useful tool. Can't exactly use it yet until devs add their work, but thank you!
Also could be useful for most but there will always be those that mess things us and blame it on the CODE like they used to do us in the Di**network rom2, rom3, rom10 days.
Other than that great tool when you get enough repositories to cover the phone bases and keep up the coding

Good !
Thank you ! A must have for our ppcs
Great Work ...
This app is indispensable in our pda's
would be perfect if adding personalization feature images of the icons in the Start Menu shortcuts in WM 6.5
-----------------------------------------
@internauta2000 I was trying to make customize a folder just like the Microsoft Office folder, but a bit confusing.. so let's see..
currently publishing version 2
----------------------------
Fixed
-copying folder
Added
-can create new short cut
----------------------------
wait for my next post
Version 2 released!
JSPA Program Manager - Version 2
any reponse, comments, infos, bugs, or suggestions yet?
a friend beta test it and now am currently patching the code for confirmation box (MessageBox).
Wait for my next post..
friend:
"A message box "Done" keeps appearing everytime i copy or delete multiple files"
indeed a bug, just a minor bug though .. what he meant was "while copying and deleting"
fixed.. new download available. Use the links from the first post
Okay, my little feedback:
Couldn't test it right now because of the following fact:
It only works with WWE-Roms. My is a german ROM so my startmenu folder differs from yours (my is "PPC:\Windows\Startmenü").
But I have a folder that is named like yours, but only of some wrong installations of some other progs. If I delete this folder your prog starts with an error. We need an option to change the start menu folder.
@lycox
that's interesting! any more advance users can tell me their Start Menu locations?
What I could do is to make a list of start menu locations (based on your feedbacks about it) and scan if one of those exists. If not then probably I could make a deep folder scan and look for an interesting shortcut files and make it as a Start Menu path.
Or use the environment variable %CE11%
Or use the environment variable %CE11%
EDIT: sorry for that double-post ._.
@alexirsi
hey, I didn't know WM has environment variables. Thanks for that info!
hello, GREAT APP, just one thine your version 2 is not recognised as a CAB, keeps asking to open with something, can i ask how to get around this.
Thankyou for your great work.
@r8zer
Well .CAB files are supposed to be like an .MSI on Windows Desktop. If .CAB files are not recognized in your WM, probably something messed your file type associations. I cannot give an additional information about it (there is but, I don't think you're going to like it *eheclearmemoryem*).
I'll try to upload the binaries too in case .. It'll be available later after I finish some path references in codes
thanks for such a quick reply, all other cab files are working fine, so i dont think that it is a file system problem on my phone as im thinking all cabs would have this problem,
thankyou.
EDIT:: Just found the problem the file downloads with the cab extension but after the cab there was an underscore, i have removed that an will try again.
EDIT 2:::: YES ALL WORKING!!!!!, SWEET!!!
@r8zer
I tried downloading the CAB from my Skydrive and I was able to install it in my WM6.5
not sure what causes your problem. Am not sure either if other users downloaded the CAB have the same problem since I have no feedback from them. Though @lycox was able to install it but it shouts an error due to WM version problem, not sure why his Start Menu path is different (WM German version) probably a character encoding
yer a bit of a strange one, but it works great, maybe he has the same problem where there is an underscore just after the cab, and it's not being recognised like what happened to me, could be as simple as that.
but thankyou for your work this app is really useful at getting the program screen nice and tidy.

I have to say, that after downloading the file from your account, I had the underscore too. But that wasn't a real prob. Just renamed it
One more hint: Most of the localized ROM's have localized paths too.

Special Thanks To:
-CM7 dev team
-The dev team over at http://uot.dakra.lt/ for making this theme possible! Make your own by visiting their site!
-Adam2010, for his themed Keyboard[Other colors can be found here] Visit his site.
Known Issues:
-Transition animations may not work on builds not produced by CyanogenMod Team[default left unchanged].
-May not work with builds not produced by the CyanogenMod Team.
-Problems often emerge when used with "typhoon" builds, none that are serious have been reported, however parts of the theme have not been applied.
-For some users, using Rom Manager's "Fix Permissions" may solve issues involving FC's or "invisible windows" (none have been reported)
Notes:
-Lockscreen is not CM lockscreen it is Widgetlocker[$]
-Typhoon can have minor issues with this theme, such as part of the theme not being applied. I recommend using another rom with this theme.
Instructions:
1)BACKUP!
Theme Installation:
2)Flash just like any other zip.(No wipe needed however it is recommended that cache and dalvik-cache be wiped, just in case)
3)Upon restart go "App Drawer=>Theme Chooser" then pick "HoneygenMod UOT"
(it commonly says that the images are to small, ignore that. Phone users[rather than tablet] shouldn't be able to tell the difference.)
4)Enjoy the fruits of my and others labor.
Boot Animation Installation:
[tip: use R/W permissions in your file explorer]
2)Use a root-file-explorer(I use "Root Explorer" but something like "ES File Explorer" will be fine) to go to "/system/media/" and rename "bootanimation.zip" to "oldbootanimation.zip"
3)Copy "bootanimtion.zip" from where ever you downloaded it to(likely the folder "download" on SD Card) to "/system/media/"
4)Reboot phone to make sure it worked.
Screen Transition Installation:
2)Copy "fold_MM.zip" to folder "AndroidThemes" on SD Card.
3)Go "App Drawer=>MetaMorph"
4)Select "Unzip/Extract new theme"
5)Select "Fold_MM.zip" and apply the theme and RESTART; if it gives you an error keep reading these instructions.
6)If gives it gives you an error(common), reopen MetaMorph and Select "Pick existing theme"
7)Go "Flip_MM=>Flip.xml"
8)Apply theme and RESTART
If Updating:
1)it is not required, but to avoid issues, select an alternate theme for your phone and uninstall your current version of HoneygenMod.apk
2)no wipe required however it is always a good idea to wipe cache and dalvik-cache just in case.
3)flash package as normal
4)Upon restart go "App Drawer=>Theme Chooser" then pick "HoneygenMod UOT"
(it commonly says that the images are to small, ignore that. Phone users[rather than tablet] shouldn't be able to tell the difference.)
5)Enjoy the fruits of my and others labor.

I only need the clockwork version if it didnt work... it just helps me make sure that you used the correct package and rule it out as the cause of incompatibility.
Okay so some of us at The Evervolv Project have been working on an app that will take care of your bloat issues with sense roms, no matter the rom. This tool has been designed from the ground up to be geared towards sense rom developers & power users to be able to customize the app easily and fit their needs and roms.
Currently this is in preview "deep alpha". What does this mean? Well, we wanted to release a preview to users and rom developers so they could get a feel for where the app is going. This is going to be an ongoing work for quite some time, depending on interest generated. With that being said let list some of the key features, and go over what we're currently working on.
Rom developers seeking to include this in their rom, please PM me and we can talk things over and explain how to customize the app to your rom/users. This application will be open sourced, free to use by anyone and everyone. Take the code and make your own app. Decompile the app and change all the information to suit you (actually this is preferred). We'd also love input for the application from rom dev's and power users. Downloading previewers, feedback is definitely requested... but please hold off on post's referring to bugs right now. This is currently being worked on, and many of the issues will be taken care of shortly. With that said, if there is any java developers/programmers that would like to join the effort, feel free to PM me also.

Much more...
Rom developer/power user can have a remote xml file downloaded by the app and used to populate the senseless apps, and removable apk's.
Manifest xml url is definable via settings (menu > Settings)
Download folder is definable via settings. (requires app restart if folder is not already made, will be fixed next release)
Currently planned features:
Rom developer/power user can have a remote xml file downloaded by the app and used to populate the senseless apps, and removable apk's.
Currently only apps on the /system partition are support, apps in /data/apps is planned.
Currently only the apk for the desired app is removed from the device, removal of the app's data folder is not touched, leaving behind the app's userdata. Removing this data is planned and in the works.
Refined GUI, currently this is more of a mockup than a final product. (monochrome yuck)
Currently only qHD devices are supported, wvga device layouts will be taken care of shortly.
Custom tab design (currently using the android supplied example).
More options available to be user-definable
Much more...

2 Things achieved today...
The 'Remove sense' button now works as intented.
The xml file relaying all of the apk names and file downloads is now downloadable from a specified link.
Keeping an eye on this one...thanks, this is well needed.

Support for remote manifest file (currently it downloads a test xml file specified in string resources).
Added settings
Added settings option to specify downloads folder
Added settings option to specify url link for the manifest xml file.
Miscellaneous code cleanup and duplicate removal.
Can't the same be achieved with titanium backup? Albiet not as easily understood or straightforward?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea, and I'll probably use it as well. Just trying to get clarification.

You're right, titanium backup can do what you're wanting. This app is by far not done yet. The idea behind it is to let developers give you the chance to remove what you want, instead of removing it for you. I'm also currently working on another tab that will allow you to download specified files (specified in the xml) and either install them (apk's) or flash them via recovery (reboots the phone after downloading the zip). This allows rom developers to give you certain flashable options and not have to include them on the sdcard (taking up space).

In that way, it sounds even better. It'd be awesome for rom creators to include this for the "extras"

ABOUT: I wanted a simple ROM with the speed and stability of the older phones, and the power of Android.
So I keep the basic phones functions like call, sms, camera, alarm, email, radio, etc; and deleted the rest.
I also changed the theme to make the ROM more simple and sophisticated.
After 23hs of work and near 80 ROM flashing I get this ROM I want to share with all you, beautiful people

Replacing the default Keyboard BEFORE installing the ROM:
Open the zip with Winrar, go to "app" folder and delete "SuquashiInputMethod.apk".
Insert in the same folder you favourite keyboard (Swift, Go keyboard, etc).
-------------------
FAQ and Important things:
There is no market, how can I install apps?
Easy Installer was included in the ROM to make installs from USB. You don't have Android Market (play).
What happened with Maps, GPS; Wifi, Blutooth?
Everything is working perfect. Maps has offline options, and Wifi is the new "n" standard.
I'm having a little problem with Root Explorer settings permisions. I can't see the accept button!
Exactly, the bottons are a little more bigger, and you can't choose them :silly:. You can make a workaround changing the LCD Density from default 120 to 110 or less, but you will broke the BackUp utility included with the ROM.
Can't change the ringtones!
The default music app was removed, so, until you install another music apps, you will only choose preinstalled ringtones.
What's about speed and stability of the ROM?
I'm a person who loves to write a SMS with a fast response phone. The ROM was tweaked for speed, but overclock, JIT, underclock and other things which can make the ROM unstable were NOT included. So, it's as stable (or more than) the stock Sony ROM.
Can I use parts of your ROM to make mine?
Of course! Do whatever you want if you thing you can improve it. You can add JIT, Overclock, Underclock... but, please, remember to put me on the credits of your ROM.
-------------------

1.1: Maps 6.2 was replaced by 5.7, correcting the offline caching of the maps.

If you never changed your kernel probably you have this one.
If you have Android 1.5 try to update it first, using Sony Ericsson Update Service.
A detailed transcription of the error will be apreciated too. Thanks :good:

this wont do ant good, i have tried many market version and later realized that this rom cant be synchronized with google accounts which is must for market to work.
You will need to add some apps to the ROM, like: GoogleCheckin.apk, Gmail.apk, GmailProvider.apk...
If you really need to use the market and a light ROM then I recommend you the stock or MiniCM7-2.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
Note : I'm just sharing the work of the XDA Member Diamondback.Here's a little introduction :
Diamondback said:
Themers on XDA face a huge problem when it comes to paid apks. They can't theme apks and distribute their work since that would be considered warez.
Since we - the moderators - spend a lot of time closing threads where someone accidentially published such a theme, Forum Moderator Whiskey103 came up with an idea.
What if the themer doesn't distribute the entire apk, but only his themed parts? This would be totally allowed on XDA.
So Whiskey asked me if I can come up with a solution to this problem. And today we announce RTI - The remote theme injector!
Note: while this project is intended for paid apks, it still works with free apks too of course. This app might help you migrating themes to a new version of the apks too.
RTI basically consists of two parts:
The patcher (or themer)
And the editor which is needed to create themes
Patcher
This is a little windows app which takes the target apk and a theme file (more on that later) and automatically injects the theme into the desired apk.
Todo this, the apk gets decompiled, patched, recompiled, signed and zipaligned. All this happens automatically and requires no input from the user (which is in this case the user who wants to USE the theme)
The user has to provide the target apk on his own, this ensures no apks are distributed as part of the theme.
It can be pulled via ADB or Rootexplorer from the phone for example.
Editor
The first app was for applying a theme, the editor is for creating such themes.
It's a simple wizard style app which guides the themer through the required steps to create a theme file.
Each theme file contains not only the actually themed files but also its own version of apktool to ensure maximum compatibility and a set of settings specifically for the target apk
The settings include:
Package name of the target apk
Version number of the target apk
Which sign method to use (keep old signature, sign with a default key, sign with own key)
Whether the apk gets zipaligned or not
The workflow for the user is very easy:
Download theme (it contains the patcher and the theme file (or even multiple themes)
Fetch target apk from phone and copy it in the same directory as the patcher
Start patcher and wait until it's done
Install themed apk on device
The workflow for the themer isn't much harder:
Theme your apk just as you are used to it
provide TWO folders to the Editor, both folders need to contain the decompiled output of apktool
The first folder contains the unthemed, decompiled apk, the second one contains the themed and decompiled apk
Set the required settings in the editor and wait until generating the theme is done
Provide the user a download which contains the patcher and your created theme file

Changelog
2.12.1.5665
Added support for smali modification for advanced themes
Some bug fixes and UI improvements
1.9.5.191
Important: This version brings some breaking changes, so please do not mix an old rti file with the new patcher. It won't work. You have to recreate your theme files if you want to use the new patcher.
Changed signing options. Removed java jarsign and added signapk.jar instead. This has a far better compatibility and doesn't require an installed Visual C++ runtime.
Possible signing options now:
Use 'test keys': Use a pre defined set of keys from me to sign the apk
Use 'own keys': you have to provide your own set of keys (key.pk8 and certificate.pem) to sign the apk
Keep old signature: NOT recommend, this has a few use cases, but usually won't work. Use one of the other two options if you are not sure.
Improved error detection on the folder selection page. It can tell you some common errors now if you make them.

Here's a explanation on how to use this :
Whiskey103 said:
I will write a guide here, for now just screenshots and a little explanation on how to use the "Patcher"
We will do our best to answer the questions about how to use and all that
Basically i came up with the idea because of the fact we have to delete a lot of themed paid apps.
Thats not nice since i know there is much time spend on it.
So now we have a solution for all the themed Swype apk,s etc etc
I really felt sorry sometimes after i had to remove some masterpiece because it was "warez"
If we start to use this, its all fine
BIG Thanks to Diamond who really liked the project from the beginning, without him this wasn't even possible.
He really was enthusiast from the moment i contacted him till where we are now.
Once again, thanks Diamond
The patcher:
You have to download a patcher theme (XDA Premium App example) my thread for screenshots
Extract that folder and grab the installed apk from your phone with Rootexplorer or ES File Explorer.
Place that apk in the extracted theme folder and run the RemoteThemeInjector.exe
In this case the RTI (Remote Theme Injector) will give you a list since i placed two themes in one folder. Just make your choice.
The patcher will do his job and spit out a Themed APK.
Copy that Themed APK to your phone (SD-Card) and install it after you removed your previous installed version of the App.
Once the apk is installed , goto menu / more / settings / Display Style / and select XDA Free.
