No, with the new WS app you can import them. But, if you want to make changes to the jason file simply download the file and change the .WSTHEME to .ZIP using change name then unzip as normal

I have successfully unzip the file to edit the watch faces but what do I do to repack it into a .Wstheme file

good question how to repack edited files into wstheme again ?

A ".wstheme" is just a type of "zip" file. So to UNZIP a .wstheme just rename it and CHANGE the ".wstheme" to ".zip" then UNZIP it.
Now to zip it back up, just do the opposite. Just ZIP it back up, then rename the ".zip" to ".wstheme"

I don't think there is a phone that can use zipped files right out of the box, so you should first unpack the content of the zip, as you would do it on the PC.

pretty sure I've been opening ZIP files on my X1 via the default File Manager without any 3rd party software.
Although I'm guessing the original poster is getting confused between CAB and ZIP because Windows XP likes to treat them as the same.
I'v a question! Please help.
Well, if .zip file contain .cab or .exe then the procedure is lay down.
What in the case of zip files of theme or clock contain only .png file in that.
I mean, how to use such zips??
For more clarity to my question please check attachment enclosed & explain me, "In case I want to install that clock on my WM, how to proceed??"
Thanks in advance!!
You don't use the .zip, you have to copy those .png images into a specific folder.
Or maybe you downloaded the source images, i don't really know, i never installed a new clock theme or something.
Where do you have this file from?

apps without apk file

ok how do you put a app on ur phone when you download it from the web n u only get a zip file..thz
some of them either have the .apk extension changed to .zip, for those just change .zip to .apk
others are in the .zip file and have to be extracted.
the OP will usually say which of these have to be done. or you can just open the .zip file and look. if it has the .apk inside of the .zip file then extract.
if it has a bunch of folders then rename .zip to .apk

Do you sign it first? or rename and sign the apk?
Did the apk disappear? If not, right click it, navigate in the pop-up menu to 7zip->open, drag the stuff you edited into its appropriate spot, close the 7zip window, and you're done! I like to resign at this point, some people say that it is not necessary. For me, it is a simple right-click to do, so I just always do it. YMMV.
You dont need too. When you modify files in the .apk all you need to do is drag the /res folder to your working folder. When you're done, drag it back. Thats it.
So, is it only necessary to sign update.zips? What is the criteria for when something must be resigned?

Yeah but like, I unzip the apk is what im saying lol. Because if you dont unzip it you cant see the images.. then I dont know what im editing. So once im done I want to be able to turn the files back into a apk

All you have to do is unzip them, edit the files you want; in another window open the original apk file (one you extracted to work on) use 7zip - open archive, then drag the files you changed into the archive in the appropriate folders in the archive, close and you are done. I just push them back to the phone via adb, not sure if you would have to resign the zip, if you pulled the apk file out of a flashable zip file.

Gearfaces.com Issue

I would like to download and install gearfaces themes. The file I find on my Galaxy S4 (4.3) is just the .wstheme file- not a zip file. I tried to rename to a zip file and was not allowed to change the extension. Wondering if someone knows the fix for this? Thanks!

Dont rename it.copy wstheme files to a location on your phone. Launch watchstyler on your phone, select Load Theme, select the directory where you put the files.

Question How to unpack .img.lz4 files?

I've been looking through a couple of xda thread about it, found a few solutions. I managed to unpack from the .tar file, got the img.lz4 file and from that the .img and from .img to .img.ext4, but the .ext4 file is too small compared to the original .img file, so I guess the older SVAImgUnpack doesnt do the job correctly and can't open it with ext2explore. Is there any other software to use for this?
Nevermind, I've found a program for it.
