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
Andi

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 .

[TOOL] [Updated 8/18/11!!] APK_Manager_4.9_Honeycomb_Edition

Just though I'd take the time to update apk_manager_4.9 and call it apk_manager_4.9_Honeycomb_Edition. I've modified a few tools inside apk manager to now work with honeycomb apk's. Hopefully this will come in handy for you all.
Credits:
All credits go to the prior developers of APK MANAGER 4.9 HERE. I just took the time to update it for Honeycomb. Please refer to this link for instructions as well.
Thanks to Daneshm90 for giving me the okay to release this version so hopefully all you themers/developers out there will take this and run with it.
Changelog:
aapt - (From updated SDK)
apktool - (From updated SDK & MAD Industries)
zipalign - (From updated SDK)
Here is the download
APK_Manager_4.9_Honeycomb_Edition
Mirror_1
Mirror_2
MAC USERS:
Please click HERE for everything you need for APK Manager for a MAC courtesy of MAD Industries
Updated 08/18/11
Changelog:
Cleaned up script to and compile settings and systemui apks
Code:
echo Building Apk
IF EXIST "%~dp0place-apk-here-for-modding\%capp%" (del /Q "%~dp0place-apk-here-for-modding\%capp%")
java -Xmx%heapy%m -jar apktool.jar b -f "../projects/%capp%" "%~dp0place-apk-here-for-modding\%capp%"
if errorlevel 1 (
echo "An Error Occured, Please Check The Log (option 21)"
PAUSE
)
(Lines 489-495 if you're using Notepad++)
You can either re-download the APK-Manager_4.9_Honeycomb_Edition.zip from above or you can download the new Script.bat HERE
Just extract the Script.bat and replace the old one.
Some Extra Instructions:
To do this U MUST make a new folder in C:/users/<yourname>/ and call it apktool and a sub folder within it called framework. If you have this there already YOU ROCK!!
Mine reads:
Code:
C:/Users/Thomas/apktool/framework
Now within that framework folder you need a copy of a complete stock framework-res.apk and you need to rename it to 1.apk
You also need a copy of a complete stock twframework-res.apk and rename it 2.apk
So it should read:
Code:
C:/Users/<yourname>/apktool/framework/1.apk
and
Code:
C:/Users/<yourname>/apktool/framework/2.apk
Remember any apk you are attempting to decompile MUST BE COMPLETE STOCK to do so.
I have done all of this and tested over and over again and I am getting no errors whatsoever. If you do get some errors please make sure all your paths for SDK are setup correctly including setting a path for Java JDK as well.
PM me with any questions or concerns regarding all this. I will do my best to respond within a timely manner.

reserved for future

this one too hehe

Nice tool, will be useful.

I was to early with that, it seems to ''shrink'' my framework-res.apk so I can't use it.
It was 6.506kb and after a decompile and than compile it is 4.082kb, no changes made.
I didn't see it yesterday and I ended reflashing my TF

Try after you select your project (Option 22) select (Option 19) Set your compression level and change it to 0.
That shouldn't shrink it at all.
Sorry about that let me know if that works as well so I can update OP

sorry man, it still shrinks my apk

Okay let me look into it. Sorry man.

Thanks man, should I upload my apk file so you can test it ?

yeah pm me with the link

Updated 8/18/2011
I've updated the OP a ton so please read away.

Well, that was easy
One small nitpick: What is the rationale behind overwriting the original files when compiling? Just curious.
And, for us antiquated old geezers building on something like a Windows Server 2003, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk should be present as
C:\Docume~1\<username>\apktool\framework\1.apk and 2.apk respectively.
Edit: Which sort of happens automagically, if you ...
java -jar other/apktool.jar if place-apk-here-for-modding/twframework-res.apk
... on that sort of platform.

It makes creating a theme fairly easy. It allows access to xml's, smali files(****ed up java files lawl!(i know what they are, i just like that version better)), and all the images in whatever apk you put in it. SO you can put in your new images, edit old images, edit xml files, edit smali files.

[Tutorial] How to use Lg Weather Widget on CM7 or Miui beta

Tutorial to add Lg classes to the framework.jar in order to make work the original weather widget of LG in every rom.
I have made this process successfully in the CyanogenMod 7.2RC1 and in the MIUI 2.1a.
I discovered this process thanks to doc3000, which created to me the framework.jar of CM7 with Lg classes. After a while researching, I discovered the process.
First of all, make a backup of your rom just in case something goes wrong, be able to recover the terminal restoring it from the recovery, given the fact that a wrong framework.jar will produce a bootlop.
The files you need are:
1) baksmali.jar y smali.jar ,which you can get it from here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/. I have used the .jar files
2) original LG framework.jar file, for example in whatever rom STOCK, available in “/system/framework/framework.jar”
3) framework.jar of the rom to which we want to add the LG classes, available in “/system/framework/framework.jar”
4) WeatherWidget.apk which you can get too from whatever STOCK rom, available in “/system/app/WeatherWidget.apk”
1) Open a console, then cd to the folder where you have the 4 files. Run:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar framework.jar -o outlg
This will make a folder named “outlg”, which it will have all the LG Classes of the framework.jar
2) Repeat the same with the framework.jar of the rom that we want to add the LG classes running the command
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar framework.jar -o out
3) Go to the folder “outlg/com” and make a copy of the “lge” folder to the “out/com” folder.
4) Now run
Code:
java -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
5) Open the framework.jar of the rom that we want to add the LG Classes with Winzip / 7zip ... , and replace the file classes.dex from the inside by the one we just have created. (Don't use Winrar, it make an incorrect framework.jar with a bootloop as a result. I don't know if Winzip work, but I confirm 7zip yes)
6) Insert the modified framework.jar to the “/system/framework” overwritting the original file, and checking that it has group and owner “root” and the correct permissions ( To know the correct permissions, look the permissions of any file in the folder “/system/framework/”...)
7) Copy the file “WeatherWidget.apk” in “/system/app/” and put he same permissions as any apk in that directory, check that the group and the owner are “root” too
8) Restart the device, and here we have the original LG weather widget in our favourite rom.
This process should work in every rom in every device, not only in the Optimus Black, but I could not check it because I only have an Optimus Black.
Sorry for my english >.<
Cheers!!!

Thank you i gonna try it out. but why it is in Q&A section? Maybe moderator could move this thread to themes&apps section? xD anyway thank you dude

I have less than 10 posts, I can't post on Development forum, but you are right, apps and themes are the correct forum, sorry >.<

Hi all,
I can do a normal zip with all the files needed. This night I will do the zip.
A flashable zip is usseles when developers make a change involving "CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base" because the framework.jar change. You need to do the process again to get a new framework.jar or you will get a bootlop.

Since u back so i ask qustion again...
Do you want me to open thread for you in themes and apps and give a link to your post... i take no credit for ur work.. so want me to?
P.S. im making zip now

[[Guide]] Apktool Mobile (Setup/Decompile-Recompile/Theme/Sign)

Yo guys! Here I come up with a brief tutorial for using Apktool Mobile! Let's begin!
Requirements:
1.A rooted device
2.Apktool 4.4 : https://storage.googleapis.com/goog.../code.google.com/apktool/apktool4.4_armhf.zip
3.A deodexed app of your phone.
How to deodex? Watch my video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0sfERSqLgA
4.Root explorer and Busybox
5.Brain.apk
6.Patience.jar
How to setup apktool?
1.) Unzip apktool4.4_armhf.zip using root explorer.
2.) Navigate to sdcard0/speedsoftware/extracted/apktool4.4_armhf/apktool folder and install apktool 4.4
3.) Open apktool app,grant root access. Now goto settings and select apktool version 1.5.2. Come back.
4.) Navigate to storage/sdcard0/speedsoftware/apktool4.4armhf folder.
5.) Long press on apktool folder and select Set as apktool data folder.
6.) Navigate to system/framework
7.) Click on framework-res.apk and select import as framework.
8.) In the same folder find twframework-res.apk(for samsung devices) or mediatek-res.apk, click on it->import as framework
9.) Now navigate to system/app, find systemui.apk->click on it and select
10.) Import as framework.
11.) Done.
How to theme SystemUI?
1.) Using root explorer, create a folder named 'A' in apktool folder.
2.) Copy SystemUI.apk to that folder.
3.) Open apktool app, navigate to that A folder, click on SystemUI.apk and select decompile all. Wait till it gets decompiled.
4.) After it gets decompiled, you will get a folder named SystemUI_src
5.) Now minimize apktool, go to root explorer, navigate to SystemUI_src folder, and do any type of modifications you want.
For example, colour the battery icons using Picsay Pro and save with the original name.
6.) After you are done, open apktool app, click on SystemUI_src folder, recompile. Wait till it gets recompiled. Now you will get an app named SystemUI_src.apk. That's your modded apk.
How to Sign SystemUI/Any System app?
1.) Using root explorer, goto A folder, and extract SystemUI.apk and SystemUI_src.apk one by one.
2.) Now navigate to sdcard0/speedsoftware/extracted/SystemUI folder.
3.) Copy Androimanifest.xml and Meta-inf folder from there. Press back and open SystemUI_src folder. Paste those two files there. Click replace when you see the popup.
4.) Come back. Long press on SystemUI_src folder and select zip this folder. Then select goto zip once its finished. Rename the SystemUI_src.zip to SystemUI.apk.
5.) Done. Now you can your push own modified UI to system/app!
Good luck!

Aniruddha B.Pathak.

Hi! I'm on a rooted kk tablet running ApkTool mobile v5.
Is this version stable and bugfree? or should I install an older one (e.g. v4.4)
An other question,what should I do to have a signed and/or working app after:
Decompiling>>Adding files>> ??
Because when I add files to the apk and try to compile, errors, errors,...errors!!

Older version would work faster

1. I would recommend older version of apktool as it would work faster on your tab.
2. Install busybox if its not already installed.
3. If you are replacing a png, then keep in mind that you must replace those pngs with "SAME NAME" as they were before in the SystemUI.
4. Donot touch .9.pngs if you don't know how to play with them.

Thanks for replying.
I already know how to replace pngs inside an apk,and I know that .9.PNG are not. png. But what I can't do is to successfully compile and sign the app after adding-not just replacing-new files to the existing ones inside_let's say package/res/drawable_apk.

Umm...if you want to ADD pngs, then you need to make some changes in xmls, otherwise it won't recompile
