[Q] .Jar Files

i want to install a .jar file on my SGM..how to do??i converted .jar tto apk n installed but it force closes every time..
which app should i use as a third party app?
I don't think it's that easy since Android doesn't support native Java code, and renaming a .Jar to .Apk isn't gonna help.

stock dialer and message app in cm7?

Can anyone tell me how to port samsung stock dialer and message app in cm7?? coz i dont like cm7 dialer and message app,,, help asap...
first you will need to deodex them then you will need to take their individual data from out of twframework-res.apk then you will need to combine the taken out data and the apk and they will work

[solved] Apktool not working?

This Problem solved by downloading apkmanager.
Hi guys.
I just have to make a small change in the Settings App.
I have done that before on official cm7 and even on stock.
Problem is that if i just decompile the apk using apktool, then even compile it with no change at all. Then Sign It, and copy it to system /app with permissions..It just doesn't show up in the app drawer even after a reboot..
This is surely a problem with apktool, coz i'm not even changing anything, just decompiling and compiling.
The same for cm7 themes. i try to compile cm7 themes but they just don't work when i copy them to system /app.
I copied it to sd card and tried to install from sd card. And it works, but not when it's included in system /app.

Trying to make Settings.apk ICS Style for unofficial cm7. Making it work on the official cm7 was a left hand game. But I don't know what's the issue wid this one.
I tried apk manager, and it's getting errors at decompiling it.
Lemme see what else i can dig up. :/
Why is this flagged as urgent?
On: Which version of apktool do you use? The newer versions may not be compatible!

Try apk multi-tools

it works without problems for me
your problem is that you're signing the apk. Stock apps, like Settings and SystemUI, cannot be signed. You need to keep the original apk (the one you've decompiled) and change files inside it.
