Hi, I thought we could do with a thread for questions regarding what to do once the UCCW zip is ready.
My own questions are about things to do to make them ready for the Playstore.
First, how to make healthy APKs. I understand that it is just a matter of changing the extension from .zip to .apk. Is this correct? I have done this but when I click on the APK, I get "There was a problem while parsing the package". What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks for any response.
hi, firstly i will link you the uccw google play thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31911116
now you need to know that just renaming the skin to apk does not work,you need to follow the instructions in the link i gave. its easy once you get the hang of it.
Tip - test each apk you make on your own phone before even attempting to upload to store.
I start my new job tomorrow so i wont be around to help much but read all the instructions and watch the video tutorial then test.
hope all goes well for you.
regards
slym.

Ok so i'm been on the site for a couple of months now but now i would like to start modding my own rom and was wondering if anyone could help me out with starting out. I know how to remove apk files from roms but don't know how to sign the zip so that would be a good first step otherwise if there is a guide for this if someone could post a link that would be awesome as well thanks again

There's couple other post about signing. Just search auto sign

http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html#post35447
I used that one a while back, it was pretty helpful.
you get it working? i have a nice tutorial and the files you'll need for signing. pm me your email if you want.
Ive moved this to q&a because although its dev related its not an actual development
Important Update, Please Read:
Here is an idea! I'm gonna write a very easy tutorial for you guys to apply these themes and any other themes you find anywhere else on your devices. This way, you can mod your phone in no time with less hassle and you can start making great themes for everyone.And you don't need to wait for me to do the job .
Let's bring competition to table. I Believe Cyanogen rom is brilliant, however, when it comes to theming, it is way behind Miui fancy UI.
I'm sure many of you guys have different taste, ideas, and can improve the look of the rom.
It is not easy to find all the tutorials in one place and not spending hours in XDA website to learn something. I myself have learned a lot from XDA, other Devs and using try and error method.
These tutorials would be super easy even for someone who had never done theming before. I'm gonna start writing the first part of tutorial today and if I find time I include images too. I will open a new thread and put the link here.
Tutorials will teach u how to theme almost every App you have. There are other guides out there and u r welcome to use theme but makes mine different is that details will be covered. Tutorials should be fast and easy. Im myself get tired ot reading long confusing tutorials and still come up with questions.
First tutorials is ready go to this link
Thank you
Adam
Here is an example of my work, I'm gonna show you how to do something like i did down below.
"For now, I prepared this theme for Nexus one since I have one and if time allows I make more for other devices if you guys vote for it. Should I go for it? You like it? Let me know?
Here is the original thread with the images --> Link
Guys please mention your device name if its not in the list
inspire 4g
xperia x10 here but i believe the nexus one theme is compatible
Also available for a SGS running CM7?
HTC Hero CDMA

You don't have to mention your device name anymore, I'm almost done with first tutorials so you can apply changes to your phone yourself and not waiting for me to do it

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
I know this is a pretty basic thing to do for MOST of us. Some of us still can't seem to understand so I'll save a bunch of questions and unreasonable threads by making an easy-to-follow video tutorial. Here is is! If you have any questions please comment on the video!

How to make apk file
How can we create apk file of the zip ? so we can directly install it without use of CWM recovery..
If you can provide a link to this I897UCJE4 version for captivate, please do!, i've want'ed to tinker with this version for a while but can-not find the file any where on the internet with an active download link. Thank you for reading this! I hope some one can help me out. :highfive:
Meh wrong section to post this, Q&A is your section.
~ V
I'm sorry that I typ'ed in the wrong forum, It seem'ed correct at the time. I just really! wish I had the JE4 version, I have the JE5 version. I might ask in the Q & A section later on today, I just gotta find it two. Thank you!
I will look later this evening after work...
And don't worry about reposting...i will request that a mod move this to q & a.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Thanks! I appriciate the help. Other's might like the JE4 version as well for tinkering, so this could be a win win situation, if the file can be found.

I've tried that site guy's, they really are there, the files, but I have no income to create an account to get the files. Thank's for looking!. I'm wondering if any one has it on a phone and could get an adb backup created for us here to try. This site http://www.downloads.bombaymobiles.in/index.php?dir=Samsung%20Flash%20files/I897/ has alot of files for diffirent phones, i'm directing you to the i897 files and JE5 is in there if you want an idea what its like, But again looking for JE4, i've read that it's less buggy and I just really want to use it and mess around with it.

Yep...very.

Eh.. It's ok if it can't be found. I get exited when I check here though hoping some one found it. :silly:
Here are two stock kernel's I managed to get, if you can find i897ucje4 in .tar format I will be tickled pink, thanks.
Hi U Hey guys so I was thinking that many people aka noobs don't even know how to change the Boot animation....... So we'll I can understand their feeling that there is such a really low amount of guides for this topic....... I was a noob like them once and have many things to help them.......
STEP 1:
Well first u would need a custom boot Animation of ur choice and with the same width and height for your device..... If u want one check this XDA page
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...XmVXj6EAP_zGR96tA&sig2=XEvJfMYaWTWv8fO8SCZTCg
STEP 2
Then u would need root browser apk which is available in the play store.....
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...EVfQGdejmbcfqwXfw&sig2=nn0P-rn2hT78Z4OvlC3KmA
STEP 3
Move the Boot animation zip file to system/media and place it der..(in root browser of course) and then hold ur finger der
STEP 4:
Scroll and select permission
STEP 5:
Do what is present on the first pic
Then reboot ur phone and see the magic happen... Isn't it easy well it can be made easier!!!!!!!
ANOTHER METHOD:
Download an app which is available in the play store called boot Animation which installs the Boot animation automatically....... Well here u go..... So more pics will help u so I will post them and guys this was my first guide will be taking out another one on how to make a boot Animation so pls help me if I have gone wrong..........
Pics for boot Animation app (2 and third pic)

I ain't a professional so pls guide me if I am wrong in this guide or stuff
I
.... I won't be responsible for bricked phones or dead SD cards or thermonuclear war
Just post ur questions below.........
Thanks for wanting to contribute, but there some issues with your guide. here are some tips
1. Make it instruction like. use steps (1,2,3..)
2. Give at least a link to the app if you are suggesting it
3. Maybe you could try getting the links from the images and show them below the steps, having to click attachments is not really handy
4. Don't use "dem" or "der" please. we no talk liek dis u no
If you want to know more about this subject, find this out for your own sake of curiousity
- How to preview a bootanimation that you just pushed without rebooting phone
- How to push it with adb

And some beginners can't even operate terminal command or have not even set up the Android environment (Android sdk etc) so I can't show them how to do that!!!! This is for complete noobs u see and for some beginners who still have a long way to go... (like me) so it is not for advanced professionals like yourself..... But thanks for your feedback!!!!!!!

With Nexus 7 devices and possibly other devices, there is no need to put the bootanimation.zip into /system/media, you can just place it into /data/local, it will override the one in /system/media, it is the proper way to do it, no need to mount system r/w, etc.
K using root browser right cause how will u set the permission then?????
