Alright. So first off Id like to thank everyone who helped me out with this phone. You guys rock But now I made a flashable zip in UOT. But Id like to make that into a ROM. Ill base it off Aeneas probably. But with the Holo Launcher stock. Anyone willing to help?

Please and thanks

Here is what you do-

You have to download the aeneas ROM first. Then you open that up(don't extract it, just open), and open up the zip file you made in UOT. Then take the files in the UOT zip, and use them to replace the ones in aeneas. For example, you should have in you UOT zip file a folder at the root called system, and inside of that should be another folder called app, and inside of that should be something called SystemUI.apk. Well you need to drag that over to the aeneas ROM, and replace the SystemUI.apk in aeneas with it(it will be in the same spot). Then do this for the rest of the files in the UOT zip, and you should be good to go. Just flash it in recovery and try it out.

Oh, and I would put a backup ROM on your SD card as well just in case your ROM doesn't take. Just in case.

And I can add and remove apps from the miscellaneous places correct? Im just testing myself. Ill post it later and you guys can tell me if its alright. And how would I go about using holo launcher and lockscreen?

Sorry if I seem noobish, just trying to learn :/

For apps, there are two places you can add them. To include an app as a system app, put it in /system/app/. To make it a user installed app, put it in /data/app.

Open up your ROM, and you'll see what I mean. The /data folder is in the root directory of the rom. For holo launcher and lockscreen, just take the .apks and drag them into either one of them. For my tagged rom, I wanted it to be the default launcher, so I dropped it into /system/app, then deleted the default launcher(called "Launcher2.apk"), then renamed holo launcher to Launcher2.apk. That way, when the user boots up they won't have to select a default. But if you want your user to have a choice, then you might want to put it in /data/app/
