Developers - repack your APK files to Windows EXEs [Beta 1]

Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead.
What do I need?
NSIS install system - http://nsis.sourceforge.net
APK2EXE (my suite) - http://shortun.com/3q
Your APK
What does the end user need?
The end user needs their device attached to their PC, with the appropriate drivers installed (which they can grab from http://android.modaco.com/usbdrivers).
How do I use it?
Follow these steps to create your executable!
Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
Add your APK to the directory
Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
Test your installer!
Done!

Clear Lockscreen

I need somebody with the knowhow to do me a favour!
I'm running the new MoDaCo rom for Hero, and I really don't like the standart HTC lockscreen, but I do adore this one.

Can some body PLEAZ make me a .zip for updating my rom?

You can remove "HTC Lockscreen" via adb commands,then you got
Lockscreen similar to this!
Also there are apps at market which can change Lockscreen to this!
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
adb shell reboot or adb reboot

hmm.. app not found?

Nobody..???
Plesse help needed here!

When I adb this :
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
it says "cant remove, file is read only"

If your on the new rom, the default lockscreen (vanilla one that you want) is broken anyway. I doubt Modaco has fixed it (with all due respect to him).
VillainRom 10.3 however will defiantly have this fixed.

a.i.type transparent and white keyboard HDPI

I bought this keyboard a.i type even though i have flex t9, swift key, swype, android standard, htc, and i actually find this the best as i always mistype alot of stuff on my phone, and unlike swiftkey it doesnt add "the" where ever it likes. It beeps when you get a spelling wrong and auto corrects, MAGIC!
I have gotten a bit bored of the stock skin, so decided to theme a little with some transparency, and subtle color changes.
Theres a market link to the app im talking about.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aitype.android&feature=search_result
I have been talking with mayfield03 on here, and hes got me into looking at this last week, but anyway i thought i would share this with the rest of you. (thanks mayfield) apologies that it looks a bit rubbish.

HOW to install
1 download the file
Download
get your APK, ( i didnt want to give the apk here as that would be piracy)
extract your apk from /data/app (use root explorer to copy the file to your memory card)
use 7zip to open the APK on your desktop and then drop in the files which i have on my zip
download SIGNAPKTIC from the markey "stericcsons app"
sign the apk which we have edited.
https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdGVyaWNzb24uc2lnbmFwa3RpYyJd
USE THE TEST KEY
Now run the signed apk, which should have been placed on the root of your memory card, it will install the app over the top of the old one, i used ASTRO to run this.
Done.
I may come back to this to enhance, we will see. Let me know what needs doing.
PART 2, White/Green skin
install the same way

Download link doesn't work.

It actually works, but you have to copy and paste it to address bar of your browser.

I have copied it via copy paste still not working

Add #afyt6yuyoava3 right after mediafire.com/ ,should work.

Trust me its not working for me it just goes striaght to Mediafires home page with both the link and manual typing and if i am logged into my account it will just go directly to that. So the file is not public.

it works fine, just tried it.
logged in, copy/paste link

Try this..

Install apps over ADB
Install apks on any Android device running any Android version over ADB!​
Hi all,
From a long time i was fiddling around with a problem of installing/downloading apps after installing a new ROM.
Thus i came up with an idea of a Batch File to install all of your apks from your system
to your phone in a few tips and taps. Hah! Found my solution .
How does it look?
To see some screenshots, please click below.
Tested on
The script had been tested on a couple of androinds but should work on any android device.
Downloads
Google Drive - Here is the link to Drive.
Link Below - You can also find the file below.
Installation instructions
Prerequisites
1. Platform Tools for Windows (ADB),
2. APK files,
3. Target phone connected to PC and
4. A cup of COFFEE or TEA as you like it.
Process
1. Download it from the attachments below or from the drive link above or here.
2. Copy the file to the ADB folder.
3. Execute the file.
4. You can either place your apps in "D:\Apps" folder. (Sllloooowwwww.....)
OR​Change the folder location in batch file itself. (Requires some Coding Skills)
OR​Batch file will ask you to change the location, if required. (Easy Installation, Pick Me!)
Troubleshooting
I don't think it's needed. But even then if you get any problem do write. I'll be happy to resolve it.
Enjoy, and also don't forget to write anything (Good, Bad or Thanks etc.)!
