Custom patch file for froyo DL30

I have updated my phone to adrynalyne's DL09 Super Clean 0.4/DL30 1.0 version. I want to install couple of stock apps that are part of a patch provided by adrynalyne. (TW super pack, includes widgets and music player, etc)
My question is - Can I unzip the patch and remove apps that I don't want to install and create a new zip? Basically deleting unwanted apks under system\app of the zip. Would this work?

Extract the apk file from the full DL30 and paste into the system/app folder. I do this for thinkdroid every time I flash.

You should be able to extract the boot and system images from Google's factory image.

I wasn't aware that the kitchen worked with the Nexus 4 as its still listed as one of the unsupported devices but the thread hasn't been updated since October of last year so maybe that changed.
this is copied from dsixda's kitchen thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 post #3):
How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
(The instructions below are for HTC devices in general. For other devices, please visit the appropriate thread.)
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices.
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder. If the ROM also includes a lib.img (found in some newer HTC ROMs), then copy that as well!
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder

Hm, i see. But the problem with the dev links for Google is that it's 4.2.2 and not 4.2.1... I would like to stay to an older version for the moment, with those problems with bootloaders, kernels etc... I will try with system and boot img, thanks !
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app

Well, i tried to use the tutorial about shipped rom, but my system.img and boot.img files aren't recognized by the kitchen... So i don't know how to do Halp ?

In this thread you have posted link to factory image with android 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

Great !! Thanks a lot eskeyy !

Flashable Apollo app?

I searched everyhere and cant find a flashable Apollo music player i tried extracting myself but i think its more files needed for it to work?
NEXUS⁴

what? can't you just install it or copy it to /system/app and set the permissions?

Not a flashable zip, but here is the apk file.

Creating a Flashable zip problem

Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...

thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker

works perfectly! thanks

Stock rom apk files...

Please help me find the stock rom voice recorder and music player apk files for lollipop on the Galaxy S5.
Thanks for your help..

Why don't you download a custom TouchWiz rom in zip format and unpack it on your computer. You can find the apks under system/app.
