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 .

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.

www.developer.android.com
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.
Any idea why when i repackage the files as a zip then rename as an apk it fails to install?

"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_gray_back.9.png"
here's the zip file, if you can tell me what I've done wrong I'd really appreciate it.
Hmm..I let it compile, but fails to install the apk..
Hope someone much expert than me can help you

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

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

[Q] [HELP]-MetamorphingGingerbread. REWARDS!

Ok guys, I am totally new to theming and what not, and akoe101 and I are deciding to release a theme under metamorph, called MinimalMechanics, this is what the status bar looks like
So far, everytime i try to create a morph, it gets rejected. Heres the steps i have taken
1. Downloaded a template morph
2. extracted the .zip
3. Opened the .xml with notepad, edited the path like so...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MinimalMechanics</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>mkcm97 and akoe101</author>
<phone>Motorola Droid</phone>
<rom>?</rom>
<themedescription>Changes status icons</themedescription>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description></description>
4. I then saved the .xml
5. I added the icons in the correct folder.
6. renamed the .xml to MinimalMechanics- SystemUI
*side not, in reality, i'd prefer to add other paths, to framework-res.apk, gmail.apk, and vending .apk. If this is possible let me know, or do I have to make a seperate .zip?
7. I renamed the zip to MinimalMechanics- SystemUI
But as I said earlier, when I try to apply it, it gives an error. Could anybody give an insight on this, if you have any you get an early theme release and some extra GOODIES!. If you need the actual .xml, i can upload it for you.
Thanks for taking the time for reading and answering
- Matt.
You want Notepad++ on a windows machine. Windows notepad screws up the EOL sequence.
<themename>MinimalMechanics</themename>
MinimalMechanics- SystemUI

If you rename the zip, you must change the <themename> too.
As 3rdstring says, I use Notepad++ to edit.

Ok. wow i didn't release that a version of notepad would make a difference. I'll give it a shot and get back to you guys.
thanks a bunch.
ok i owe you guys big time! notepad ++ did the trick. so now for the next question, can i add a path to framework-res and system ui in the same .xml?

You can, but you will get FC loops that are a pain with metamorph. If you do it, use ZipThemer to install instead, great program. Myself, I don't put SystemUI.apk or Phone.apk in the same morphs as framework-res.apk.

ok. so i will just release the theme in seperate morphs. but when i applied just the systemui.apk, i got fc loops anyway, but a battery pull fixed it and it was all okay.
I agree with Dont Panic, ZipThemer is an excellent tool. It will take your morph(s) and build a flashable update & as a super cool added bonus an undo file so when things go wrong you have an easy road back.

so could i build a morph and put it in zip themer, and release it as a .zip? and it will still have the same concept as a morph. ie only change the icons that you want..?

[TUTORIAL] Want to Theme?

Hey guys! Someone recently posted that they wanted to start to making their own themes and I posted a very long reply and figured, might as well post a "somewhat easy to understand" tutorial here for everyone.
So you want to make your own themes?
First off, it is important to know that if you plan on porting any themes over and releasing it to the masses, that you get permission from the theme owner first!!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE EXPLODES OR MELTS! lol
NOTE: IF YOU'RE A NOOB (you know if you are) DO NOT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE THAT ENDS IN ".9" UNTIL YOU READ UP ON THEM.......A LOT! IF YOU'RE JUST REPLACING AN IMAGE, THEN READ ON.
What you will need:
Apkmanager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
An empty flashable zip: http://www.multiupload.com/DBEMBUOCND
Lot's of time on your hands!
GETTING STARTED:
Apkmanager is going to be your "all-in-one" tool for making a theme in Windows.
(I'll go into all the options of apkmanager a little later)
The process you need to follow is actually kind of simple. It's just very time consuming.
First you will need to make the images that you want (unless you are porting a theme).
Now what you need to do is one way or another, get the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk from your phone, you also need the RES_cappuccino.apk (found in /system/framework. (If you don't want to mess with using adb, use Root Explorer, just copy the apk then paste on your sdcard, then copy and paste from your sdcard onto your pc.)
Extract apkmanager to somewhere easy like the desktop and you should end up with a folder named "apkmanager" or whatever.
Inside that folder, you should have the following folders:
Other
place-apk-here-for-modding
place-apk-here-for-signing
place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize
place-ogg-here
projects
Then the following files:
log
Script
DO NOT MODIFY THE NAMES OF ANY OF THESE FILES OR FOLDERS OR NOTHING WILL WORK!
Take the 3 files that you got from your phone and place them in the "place apk here for modding" folder.
Double click to open the "Script" file
Press "22" and hit enter to set your current job
Select either 1,2 or 3 for whichever apk you want to start on first and hit enter
Select "1" to extract. You do not need to decompile unless you are editing XML files.
Once the extraction is done, go inside the "projects" folder and now you have a folder inside there with whatever the name is of the apk you just extracted.
Inside that folder are the images and XML files you need to replace (you might not have to edit any of the XML files, that's a little more advanced unless you already know how to.)
Most of the images you will need to edit will be in the following folders of each apk:
res>drawable
res>drawable-hdpi
Once you get everything done and you're ready to test it out, you need to go back to that "Script" file in apkmanager and open it back up. Now you're going to do pretty much the same stuff you did when you were extracting the apk, in order to rezip the apk.
In the Script for apkmanager, you're going to press "22" and hit enter, then select which file you want to compile first by either pressing 1, 2 or 3.
Select the file and hit enter, then press "3" and press enter
Now press "1" so that apkmanager knows it's a system file and will retain the files signature.
As long as you didn't mess anything up during the process of changing stuff, you shouldn't receive any errors. If you do, you need to figure out what it was you messed up on and fix it.
Go through and rezip all the apks that you edited. Once that is done, you will go to your "place apk here for modding" folder again and you will notice that you have 3 new files in there:
unsignedframework-res.apk
unsignedSystemUI.apk
unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk
Remember that empty flashable zip you downloaded earlier? Now you need it.
Right click on the flashable zip and mouse over "7zip" and click on "Open Archive"
Take the unsignedSystemUI.apk and place it in the "app" folder. Now rename that to its original name:
SystemUI.apk
Now take that unsignedframework-res.apk and unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk and place them in the "framework" folder of the flashable zip. Rename those to:
framework-res.apk
RES_cappuccino.apk
Now you can close out of the flashable zip file and place it on your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik.
Now go back and flash the zip file you just put on your sdcard.
Since you wiped your cache and your dalvik, the reboot will take a little while. You should now be good to go!
NOTE: Since I did not create apkmanager, I will not be able to answer many questions about it but feel free to ask. If I don't have an answer for you, Just go back to the post above where you downloaded it, and post your question there.
Please enjoy and happy themeing!!!!!!
And to add. There is also another great way for beginners to start making themes. It's very simple, all you do is select the changes you want made, then upload the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk and it does all the work for you!!!! Even puts everything into a flashable zip! All you have to do is download the zip file then flash it! Here's the link to the UOT Theme Kitchen:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Also, thanks to drt054 for pointing out that Apkmanager is being improved on and the name is changing to APK Multi-Tool. If you use this tool instead, I will not be able to help with any troubleshooting because I just recently started using it. You can download it here:
APK Multi-Tool: http://apkmultitool.com/
Great post!
Don't forget, UOT can be a great starting point for inspiration also, at least give a little jump start.
Also, the hardest part is also getting your paths set up for apk manager to read adb. Just Google it and the answers are easy to find!

Indy's comment to your post was exactly true. It really doesn't take that long once you get the hang of it. Making your own images is what takes longer than anything in my opinion. Even if it takes you a long time to push a theme out, just remember that "it's about quality, not quantity." As long as you put out an awesome looking theme, most people won't care how long it took or how long it takes to push out updates. It definitely wouldn't take long if you use the UOT Theme Kitchen. The link for that can be found at the bottom of my first post.

Hey Spc i have a question, how do you make your own images and such? do you have to use something like Photoshop or gimp or some other program? Been playing around with the uot kitchen and its really a great program, but eventually i'd like to do more custom made stuff too.
Thanks!

I always use Paint.NET just because it's free and it's a great image editing program for people that don't want to mess with too much technical stuff. You can get it here www.paint.net

Just FYI the apk manager forum is old. Go here to read:

or just go here to download:

It was renamed from APK Manager is now APK Multi-Tool. Windows version is pretty nice. Been looking at the forum, make sure you install to the root of your sdk directory.
He is working on Linux Version but doesn't have a linux machine any longer to test so it is slow going but you can still download APK Manager 5.0 for linux

Might have figured out the issues with recompiling SystemUI and RES_Cappuccino they have to be decompiled with dependancies.. dragging frameworkres-apk into the command window and made changes and recompiled without errors. That is a first. If someone knew this and didn't tell me I will hurt somebody!!! Won't be able to test for a while..
Although you don't HAVE to do it, it's suggested that you do that with apkmanager too lol. Sorry!!!

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task
nice:good: i made my first theme
Thanks, this is something..

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.
