Why do u want to sign it ? if you are editing images you can simply open the apk as a zip file and drag the newly edited png's into the correct folders. Then adb push it to your phone. If you are compiling from source thats a different story, i havent done that so i would not know sorry.

Use Metamorph, but first try using the "SEARCH" option to get your answers. It's really not that hard.

Hi,
I try autosign.zip...Bootloop.
Then i try Win-sign.zip.....Bootloop
Next i will try metamorph
Why i become allways a bootloop.
I just editing one png picture (stat_sys_battery_charge_anim5.png)
The ROM is "SuperEclairv30BETA2.zip" and i want to port the xperia theme.
Here is the Original ROM:
http://sharebee.com/8a52ab3f
and here is my bootloop ROM:
http://sharebee.com/d93c1367
i change one .png picture, with the same pixel (25x25) and the same bit (8bit)
Best Regards

Try making the rom by signing the entire ROM without signing the individual .apk. It should boot then.

An idea!

Andi,
If you have Eclipse setup, you could use a sample apk for testing your png edit. Drop it in your res/drawable folder of the sample apk. Eclipse will tell you if your png is valid for the android version chosen or tell you it not going to work with the error code. You would be saving steps and headaches before your flash. I also recommend using MetaMorph for the job to further skip your steps in signing apk's or zips...

K dude, if ur editing a png you DONT need to sign framework-res.apk
All u have to do is open it in your favorite compressed archive viewer 7zip/winzip blah blah
Then go into appropriate folder, drag the picture u want to edit out of it to ur computer somewhere, edit it and drag it back into the zip n then push it to your phone. SIMPLE.

Not for nothin' fellas but this page is the #1 google return on "sign apk windows7" and though I know you're just talking themes here but ... throw the rest of us googlers a bone and copypaste some instructions pretty please
In the meantime I'll keep googling.

NewYork love! lol
There is a apk on the market called signapktic.apk it should be able to sign it for you.
To sign on windows, you must have java jre or jdk installed to use the signapk.jar or the testsign.jar .

[MOD] - Rosie Remaps! Personalize your "Personalize" button--UPDATE UNLIMITED Options

[MOD] - Rosie Remaps! Personalize your "Personalize" button--UPDATE UNLIMITED Options
I did this mod over on the G2/Desire Z forums (see thread here) and started getting requests from various forum members to make one for their phone. It has been ported to the Droid Incredible and Mytouch 4G. Nobody has done it yet for the DHD, so I went ahead and made one. If you like it, feel free to donate, as I don't even have a Desire HD (I'm just doing this to help you guys out)
[UPDATE 3.1.11]:
I have been getting many requests for various random apps, and in an effort not to make a hundred different remaps, I have now made one generic one that can be mapped to any application through the use of the an awesome app (made by appelflap) called LaunchKey. He offers 2 versions, one on the market for only ~0.65 cents, and a lite version available on the forum for free here. If you like his work, PLEASE buy the market version, its cheap and we all know you will get tons and tons of use out of it!
How it works: Install the LaunchKey app. Follow instructions below to push my modified DHD_Rosie_custom.apk to your phone. Open LaunchKey and use it to select which app to open. When you press the right dock button on my modified rosie.apk it will open whatever app that you have chosen from inside the LaunchKey app. That's it! You can change what application is opened at any time from within LaunchKey with ease!
Note: LaunchKey can also be set to toggle some system functions, or open a quick menu with a list of 8 or so of your favorite apps. The donate version has even more options. Its a really nice app, so seriously buy the donate version in the market

[Info]:
This mod will remap your personalize/add to home button on the right of the rosie dock bar to various other apps. It is not needed as you can long click anywhere on the home screen or press menu --> personalize.
The original rosie.apk was taken from a stock 2.2 Desire HD Sense ROM, and therefore should work on any other Desire HD Sense 2.2.x build. This has been confirmed working on the Android Revolution rom and other stock DHD roms, and may work on others too - so report back with what ROM you are running if/when you get it pushed so that others will know!
Remember to always do a nandroid before you make modifications to your build.
***Additional info and attachments have been added to second post***
[Options]:
-Custom to ANY application you wish (you MUST have the LaunchKey app from above installed first)
-Browser
-HTC/Google messaging app
-HTC contacts app
-Gmail
-Gvoice
-Maps
-Gtalk
-Market
-Gallery
-Facebook
[How To]:
-Grab the appropriate file that you want (some attached to second post). The names are self explanatory
-Save it somewhere on your computer
-Plug your phone into usb
-Reboot into recovery
-Type this in a command prompt
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb push [your saved file location]\Rosie_xxxxx.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk​-Reboot
-Enjoy

[Additional Info]:
This mod should be done in recovery, through adb as per the original instructions. It can obviously be done through various other methods, however DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Do not post that you are having problems if you try a method NOT laid out in the first post, instead follow the instructions
Odexed ROMS:
This mod is designed for non-odexed roms (hence the lack of a rosie.odex in attachments) however it has been reported working on an odexed rom by simply removing the odex file. Instructions:
-Reboot into recovery
-adb shell mount /system
-adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.odex
-Reboot​
I have not actually tried the above method, although one user said it worked for them. If the above method fails for you and you want to run this on an odexed rom, you need to create an odex file for the rosie you downloaded. You will need to search the forums for dexopt wrapper script. This can be run via the instructions supplied in that thread to create a corresponding odex for the file you have downloaded. I can not supply the odex for you as the Rosie.odex will be specific to your rom.
Themes:
If you apply an HTC theme after applying this mod, it will over-write the pictures (however the button will still function as designed). If you want to fix this, follow these instructions:
First - open up your skin.apk AND my modified rosie.apk in a zip editor like WinRar.
Second - Remove the following 2 files from my modified rosie.apk that you downloaded, and place them inside their corresponding folders in your skin.apk. Push that skin apk back to your phone in recovery the same way you pushed my modified rosie apk. Done.
Files:
Folder:
drawable-port-hdpi
Files:

Boot into CWM? Or Fastboot?

looks like fastboot commands.

It can be also done with root explorer right on your phone copy...find/system/app...paste....done

I have to rename my Rosie_contacts.apk to Rosie.apk and than I have to overwrite the Rosie.apk in System/app Right?
I´ve done it with Root explorer and now im Staying on my Boot screen...
Currently flashing back my Nandroid backup... any ideas?

The only thing that changed with the browser remap is the png. Unfortunately still the personalize settings open on press. So no success with this mod on DHD. I realized that a lot of mods, that work on other Sense systems, do not work on DHD even if you apply them 1:1 - so no clue what HTC changed for DHD.
In any case thx for your efforts.
Edit: Your edits are obviously smali edits and the classes.dex has changed - so if you are on a ODEXED stock ROM (I`m nandroiding between 3 ROM`s and tested on stock 2.2.1), then you need to replace Rosie and then DELETE rosie.odex, otherwise the old Odex will overrule the classes inside your file. I did that and now it works as designed - thx

Hi guys ! It is possible to ask to make replacement of the second button by the HTCCamera.apk? What files are responsible for button change?

Can anybody please explain me if this is possible to install this MOD on odexed STOCK 1.32 rom ? Got hboot S-OFF, Radio S-OFF, CWM Recovery ... I think i need to have custom kernel to got /system acces ... But is this possible to install this somehow ? Any detailed instructions for odexed ROM ? If there is no way ... Anybody got STOCK deodexed ROM 1.32? i read he_stheone64 post above but don`t understand what shall i really do
P.S. he_stheone64 this trick will be helpfull in framework-res with percentage battery (we talked about) aswell But please explain me how to install "3rd party" system apks on odexed STOCK ROM
TIA !!

Works like a charm with 1.72 Build
Edit: With the standard Sense theme there is no problem, but when i change the skin, the link to the market is still right, but the symbol is the old one. Any idea where to change it?

If those look like fastboot commands to you, I would recommend against doing this mod. Full disclosure: they are not fastboot commands.

It can also be done with terminal, or adb while the phone is booted. But as with just about all changes, doing them in recovery is the safest method resulting in the least errors.

Yes, this is your issue. I didn't mention odexed roms in the OP because this is not for odexed roms, however I will update it so that others don't run into this issue.

No problem - 1% battery also runs on ODEXED stock ROM - check out my Revolution DHD port in the theme section. There is plenty of stuff also running on stock ROM`s you only need to know what works and what not.
Framework-res and htcresources related hacks DO WORK, since these apk`s do not have any classes.dex and certainly can`t have any ODEX.
modded system/app apk`s do work as designed, as long as they don`t involve any classes.dex hacks - if they have these, then you need to delete the corresponding ODEX (see post above). But the .dex mods certainly need to be done with deodexed apk.
You can install either with update.zip, Root Explorer or adb push. There`s a lot more you can theme on ODEXED ROM`s then most peole think. You can only not mix ODEX and DEODEX .jar files in the framework, then your system crashes.
As proof of concept try this framework with 1% steps - flash with CWM via Rom Manager - works on deodexed AND odexed ROM:
For 2.2.1 ROM`s

For 2.2 ROM`s

I have tried this mod on Modaco Custom Rom for DHD rom and after installing via recovery, I get a lot of Force Closes. I tried fixing permissions and wiping cache and still get them. Any ideas why?

Is there anyway we could get the xda app to launch with this mod?

hi.. someone can tell me..
..how i can remap the browser button not to launch the default browser, but Dolphin Browser Mini Beta 2 ?
the package name of the DB is com.dolphin.browser
thanks..

Worked great after I deleted the Rosie.odex on my stock 1.72, thanks heaps it was such a waste of a button until now

I made a little mod of version which opens web browser - changed Phone, App drawer and Browser icons to be more "Gingerbread" style. Nothing advanced, but I think it looks quite good.

Ebuddy 1.9.1 apk for theming?

I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.

Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.

If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

no idea why your file wont install...
I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign
- install

[MOD] Customize Sense 3.0 Lockscreen Background [How To + Requests!!]

Hi everyone!!
I saw that there were threads on customizing the lockscreen rings but there were none on changing the background in our Desire HD forums
So.......
Here's a tutorial on how you can edit the background on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen!!
First and Foremost, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
Now we can start the tutorial!!
Download the m10 tools from here
Using Root Explorer (Or any other file explorer) go to system/app and copy the Idlescreen_Weather.apk to your sdcard.
Copy this apk to your computer and open m10editor.exe
Once the m10 program has opened up, click on load and browse to the Idlescreen_Weather.apk
Once it has loaded, go to the m10 files tab and select the decode images box on the bottom.
Double click on Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and it will ask you if you wish to decompile it. Click on yes and wait for it to decompile.
Now you will be brought to another tab where you can see Textures. Under this you will see 3 more textures.
Click on any one of the textures and you will see the background image. Right click the image and click on Show in Explorer.
The folder containing the png will open up. Replace that image with your image making sure that the file you are copying has EXACTLY the SAME name.
NOTE: Your png should be exactly 540x960. Also you will have to invert your picture vertically. This can be done with any photo editing program. I use Photoshop for this.
Then once you have replaced all the 3 background with whatever pictures you want, go back to the m10 program and go to the Start tab. Here you can link the path to the Android SDK if you have so that you can zipalign it and push it to your phone. Then tick the Zipalign APK box(Only do so if you have linked the Android SDK to the program). Then click on save.
If you didnt link the Android SDK to the app, you can still manually zipalign it. In order to do so, download the Android SDK and browse to the tools folder.
Open a cmd window here.
Type:-
zipalign -f -v 4 (name and path of your file).apk outfile.apk
Rename the new apk that has been created from outfile.apk to IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Now you can either push this apk to your phone or copy and paste it using Root Explorer ( or any other file explorer) or you can make a flashable zip out of it.
To make a flashable zip, download the blank update.zip that i have attached in this post. Then open it with winrar or winzip etc.. and then copy the apk file into the system/app folder in the update.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT the update.zip
Then you can flash this zip file normally from recovery.
Also make sure that if you are copying the file to the system/app, set the permissions as RW-R--R
Now reboot and enjoy your new lockscreen background!!
This will also work for the Friendstream, Stocks or any other lockscreens. Only the file name will be different.
I will be taking requests, so if you want any particular background just attach the pictures and i will make it for you as soon as possible
This is a modification of McLabia's thread in the Thunderbolt Forums. A huge thanks to him for making such an amazing tutorial!

A big thanks to seo, Krzysiec and all the other devs who helped in porting the sense 3 lockscreen to our devices.
Thanks to Lee for his awesome Leedroid ROM!!
Thanks to Flemmard and DiamondBack2010 for their m10 tools!

Can't "right click --> "show in explorer" anywhere in "editor tab".
I might do something wrong, dunno!!

I think the m10 tools arent able to fully decompile the sense 3.5 files properly yet, it needs a fix. The devs might release a fix soon, i hope

Added Stock Weather to the second post just in case anyone wants to switch back to stock.
NOTE: All those trying to use this tutorial with the official Sense 3.0 Build or the ported Sense 3.5 Build, it will not work. The m10 tools are unable to decode the images in the new m10 files. The developers of the m10 tools are aware of this and are still trying to find a solution.
Give them some time.

Using Root Explorer (Or any other file explorer) go to system/app and copy the Idlescreen_Weather.apk to your sdcard.
Copy this apk to your computer and open m10editor.exe
Once the m10 program has opened up, click on load and browse to the Idlescreen_Weather.apk
Once it has loaded, go to the m10 files tab and select the decode images box on the bottom.
Double click on Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and it will ask you if you wish to decompile it. Click on yes and wait for it to decompile.
Now you will be brought to another tab where you can see Textures. Under this you will see 3 more textures.
Click on any one of the textures and you will see the background image. Right click the image and click on Show in Explorer.
The folder containing the png will open up. Replace that image with your image making sure that the file you are copying has EXACTLY the SAME name.
NOTE: Your png should be exactly 540x960. Also you will have to invert your picture vertically. This can be done with any photo editing program. I use Photoshop for this.
Then once you have replaced all the 3 background with whatever pictures you want, go back to the m10 program and go to the Start tab. Here you can link the path to the Android SDK if you have so that you can zipalign it and push it to your phone. Then tick the Zipalign APK box(Only do so if you have linked the Android SDK to the program). Then click on save.
If you didnt link the Android SDK to the app, you can still manually zipalign it. In order to do so, download the Android SDK and browse to the tools folder.
Open a cmd window here.
Type:-
zipalign -f -v 4 (name and path of your file).apk outfile.apk
Rename the new apk that has been created from outfile.apk to IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Now you can either push this apk to your phone or copy and paste it using Root Explorer ( or any other file explorer) or you can make a flashable zip out of it.
To make a flashable zip, download the blank update.zip that i have attached in this post. Then open it with winrar or winzip etc.. and then copy the apk file into the system/app folder in the update.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT the update.zip
Then you can flash this zip file normally from recovery.
Also make sure that if you are copying the file to the system/app, set the permissions as RW-R--R
Now reboot and enjoy your new lockscreen background!!
This will also work for the Friendstream, Stocks or any other lockscreens. Only the file name will be different.
I will be taking requests, so if you want any particular background just attach the pictures and i will make it for you as soon as possible
This is a modification of McLabia's thread in the Thunderbolt Forums. A huge thanks to him for making such an amazing tutorial!

Hi,
I followed all the instructions and i'm using flashable zip. The background image changed to the one that i uploaded but there is no weather animation at all and keep changing from one background image to another background image.
The only think i didn't do is to set permission as RW-R--R. Any idea how to do it.
Also do i have to rename the blank _update.zip or just leave it alone.
Thanks in Adv......

how we can Customize sense 3.0 lock ring
for 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 ?

Hmmmm... That's weird. Which ROM are you using??
Try going to the weather app and updating the weather. That might fix the problem.
If you have used the flashable zip then there is no need to change permissions. And yes you can rename the zip file to whatever you want. Even if you keep it the same it doesn't make a difference.

As said in post #10, the m10 tools are unable to decode the images in the newer m10 files in the newer bases. The devs of the m10 tools are aware of the problem and are working towards a solution.

I'm using virtuous unity v1.27 with orkorolev and amresh blue theme with leedroid kernel and leedroid daemon set.
Is 2.3.3 base matter in this case or shoud i update to unity v2.35 (2.3.4 base) first...?.....

hmm..i dont think that would be a problem. The 2.3.3 base is fine. No need to upgrade. If im not wrong, the m10 tools do not decompile the images properly in the newer bases. (I dont know about unity v2.3.5)
Did you try updating the weather from the weather app? Have you changed anything else except for the weather png??
Try wiping dalvik cache from recovery.
Otherwise, if those dont work, upload your idlescreen_weather.apk and give me the background you want to put. Ill try and mod it for you

hmmm.. thats very strange. I have never got such a problem so im not sure whats the cause of it. Try clearing Sense data, that might fix it.
Otherwise upload your idlescreen_weather.apk and the wallpaper you want and ill try it for you.

[GUIDE] Working inside Root Directory

Can't change lockscreen wallpaper after flashing a rom? :crying:Want to fool your friends by changing andorid version?:victory: Want to apply bootanimation?:good: Here are your answers!:highfive:
Once your phone is rooted, you'll have access to root directory of your phone(initializing geek mode)!
You'll need an explorer, many are available on play store eg ES file explorer. I'm using root explorer.:good:
Following apks are attached below:
Email.apk- Stock Email Client
Memo.apk- Stock Memo Client
Genie Widget.apk- Weather Widget
DeskClock.apk- Stock alarm clock
LiveWallpaperPicker.apk- For enabling use of live wallpapers
FMRadio.apk- FM Radio
Talk.apk- GTalk
Flashed a new ROM but can't change lockscreen wallpaper
Your new ROM does not include the original Galler3d.apk file which is required to change lockscreen wallpaper. This file is present in stock rom and is useful to be backed up but can be found by little search effort. Neverthless i'm attaching it at the end of post!:angel:
1. Open your explorer.
2.Mount system as r/w (deafult is r/o)
3.scroll down to sdcard/ then copy your file from where it is located on your memory card and paste it to system/app
4. Long press app and then click on permissions. Change permissions to rw,r,r (photo attached below). These are universal permissions, u can push any app to the system and copying it into system/app and then changing permissions!(eg. FM Radio, attached below)
5. Reboot and you're done!:good:
Note: Any system app can also be removed from system by deleting it from the system/app folder. Such as Weather, Homescreen tips, Email etc. This can be used to increase internal memory of the phone:laugh:
Change everything in "About Phone" Section
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. ro.bild.display.id - your ROM/Android name(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- your version number(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!:good:
Workaround: Download an app called build prop editor form play store and edit build.prop easily!:laugh:
CHANGING YOUR BOOTANIMATION
Our friend Lalit Patil has done great work here. Check this thread for all details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126329
CHANGING SYSTEM SOUNDS
Alarms, Ringtones and Notification Tones can be changed easily using third party apps. But your new ROM might not include your favorite tone from previous ROM. So you can directly push the audio into the system.
You can also change the sound of camera click, usb connection and other internal system sounds.:victory::good:
Note: All system sounds are of format .ogg no other format will work!
1. Open your explorer
2. Mount system as r/w
3. Go to system/media/audio
4. Folders: Ringtones, Notifications, ui, Alarm
5. Edit, Add, Delete whatever you want and then change permissions to rw,r,r:good:
6. Reboot if required!
PS: Since you are working in root directory, make sure you make a backup of everything you are editing/deleting etc:good:
PPS: I am not responsible for any kind of damage to your phone. Above procedures however have been tested and don't result in malfunction(atleast for me)
I'll add more stuff if i come to know about some!

I allready wrote a pm with my problem but I think its good to post it here as well.
Im pretty new to this modding scene. Please forgive my noobyness.
Well. I cant paste the apk in the system/app folder. Dont have the permission to write there
EDIT: Worked....Don't what was wrong in first try. Anyway. Thx for the guide
Another question. I was looking if i can change the Bootscreen, cause i dont like this Google one. In the guide its writen I need a custom kernel. is that true? i mean i have intalled JB and it changed the bootscreen too, but i still have the Stock Kernel I think.

Well, you can apply bootanimation on stock kernel...Custom kernel provides more features and compatibility that's why it is preferred...Be ready with a CWM backup if anything goes wrong!
PS: It's always good to flash custom kernel as it allows installation of many tweaks!:good:

You must mount system as r/w. There's a option for that...only then you can write files in the folder! Default config is r/o..Change it!

Well...I will see if i will install a custom kernel. Im not sure if im ready for this. Dont want to brake my phone.
I also read many things about bugs in kernels like, freezing while phoning or something like this.

The easiest way is to install it via odin. Turn off your phone then press volume +,volume -,power button simultaneously to enter to download mode, then connect ur phone to pc via usb cable. Open odin and put your kernel on pda.
