I tried to add some apps to a clean official 2.1 generic rom!
I added all to data/app,but tried system/app,too and then signed
the rom again!
But if I flashed the rom not all apps shown at phone!
What is the problem,why some apps works and other not?
Rootexplorer,Titanium Backup,Autokiller and Linpack works,but
Tapatalk Pro and Zeam Launcher or other Launcher don`t works!

Hm,but memory limit with 7 apps?
From Market I can install more then 7 apps!

EDIT:

Tried now only with "Tapaptalk Pro" not working!
Maybe anybody can check the app,why don`t work if I try to add to the ROM!

Mod edit: Attachment removed, posting licensed apps is against forum rules, first and final warning.

system/app is where programs like HTC's programs, Gui and other important programs is stored for the phone to access it quicker?
Correct me if i'm wrong. :p

And the Data is where the programs that you want to install outside the system folder. So you would need to place the .apk's there, and change to setup script or something similar? :rolleyes:

Yes,I tried both methods,but some apps not available at phone,after
signing and flashing the ROM!
Some other apps works :rolleyes:
I only know apps,lib`s etc.are stored at "MANIFEST.MF"
The apps which I added are stored there,but not all available
at phone!

Example:

Code: 
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)

Name: system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.so
SHA1-Digest: l78HyvABeCRnTbEnx7HTxIpKDy0=

Name: system/media/audio/ringtones/RomancingTheTone.ogg
SHA1-Digest: 1KjCt72M1Cqk5UEkVYRnRjOEMh4=

Name: system/bin/netd
SHA1-Digest: iG6GUccrgesZWZMcTxXIALzloyU=

Name: system/bin/tc
SHA1-Digest: /78Z+F3Y6OC47Tw/BjSfZUCuq/4=

Name: system/bin/schedtest
SHA1-Digest: JdRRLpi2lAq0iwq1yloG9Af/i+I=

Name: system/app/CertInstaller.apk

You should remove the attached file in post #6. Tapatalk Pro is a payed app. That's a no-go on XDA!
