Sorry for the noob question, I'm kinda new to using a custom rom ...

G Maps is apparently not included in the apps package, and Play doesn't allow installing it. How could I get it ?
Similarly, many of the apps that are available for the stock rom are no longer available for the jb custom rom, is there a solution for that ?

Reading at least the first post would be highly appreciated...

I guess I paid most attention on the "hard" part of the installation, and less on the supposedly easier portions. I did remove the G account and add it back from Play, but the "app incompatible" issue remains for many (but not all) applications. Since this gave me a good hint I should try harder (thanks !), I tried another G account not tied to my old rom, and it works properly for app availability. So the readme is probably a bit misleading.

BTW, awesome work on the rom, it's like I got a new phone.

Download apktool: http://code.google.c.../downloads/list

Usage:

To decompile

apktool d appname.apk

To recompile:

apktool b appfolder appname.apk

Icons are usually in drawables

Afternoon mate, this is a nice starting point by Frankish.

this will cover apktool usage

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1752201

you'll be needing Java

you can download sdk if you wish, but it's not required to use apktool.

if just wanting to change a png (icon ) you can do on your phone via X-Plore, free from playstore.
remember to rename the new one, identical to the one you've replaced.

It depends for what screen size / resolution theme is designed. If the theme is missing assets for your UI layout then it's a problem of theme, not ROM.
Some themes are simply targeted for the particular layouts. So while they work on stock UI, they won't work on Tablet UI because they are missing
necessary images (assets) for that resolution. I just tried crystal2 theme on Optimal UI and it works quite fine.

Got the solution...change to optimal UI, apply theme, back to tablet UI and theme is still there ... Thanks

Ok, so until i get a spare five minutes to get my head round this apk tool malarkey, I opted for the easier solution of doing it via 7zip, seems to have worked ok.

New Contact icon, need to sort the bottom of the icon out.
