Can you send me the PM too? I've tried hexedit, but the bottom part of the file is always scrambled. Found a 'printer' that converts them, but then it's hard to know what to edit in the hex-editor since it's all scrambled.

you can use it to convert them to readable text, but only for a reference. Can't be converted back.
run the command from the path that the axmls file is in w/ the xml in there.

Once you get the hang of reading the hex it will be much easier. Just remember to search for the hex string in reverse.

With the help of red_menace over at the apple support forum, I present Mac users with an application that will sign their .apk and .zip files.
It is a droplet application, meaning you just have to drag the file you want signed onto the application itself. A new file will be created with -signed at the end of the file name.
For this to work you need to have testsign.jar in your root directory. The root directory is the first place you come to when you click on the mac hard drive.
If anyone wants to use or edit the script that's fine with me, I really didn't do much, just asked the right people for help.
Android-sign.zip Download
Android-sign.zip has both the testsign.jar and android-sign application.
EDIT: Sorry about the mixup. Testsign.jar is now linked above.
thank you sir! will try tonight
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testsign
I cant find the testsign.jar its not in the tool directory of my SDK that I downloaded from Androids website
Where can I get this testsign.jar?
*EDIT*
I found the testsign.jar in the forums. You can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538020
But I still get the same error I've placed the program and the testsign.jar file in the same directory.
I have some cool skins in the making! I just need to know how to sign these files! I'm on a mac.
Why am I getting the error?
wow i need this bad...now lets c if i know how to get it 2 work....

are you putting the testsign.jar in your ROOT dir? aka where adb is

Okay, so I'm getting the same error. And yes, my testsign.jar/Android-sign.app are both in my sdk/tools dir.
Not sure what the problem is.
Hope I can get this to work

What file is the adb? I understand what adb means and what it does, but I don't know how to identify it.
Ok so since im new to this can someone can make a really dumb guide for me from dowloading the app to putting the test.jar file please.
im getting the same error, this is a huge step though when u figure out whats going on with the rest of our Auto-sign, repost thanks nd thumbs up
nice...thx for sharing this. will come in handy

the testsign.jar needs to be in the root directory of your computer. The app can be placed anywhere you would like. Where ever you put the app, the new signed file will be also.
guys so lets say i put meltus audio hack in cyanogen 4.9999 and i want to sign the whole build back up how would i do that.

no i said that, and it is where adb is.... at least for me... in the root dir, if you move the adb file there you don't have to enter the path every time you enter adb commands in the terminal

i think what jaaronmoody was talking about is just putting your adb file into the root directory instead of adding to the bin. but im pretty new to the whole terminal and coding stuff, so i just know what i've picked up since having my g1.
guys does anybody know about signing folders again to make them flashable?

well if the file is good. you just have to drag the cm 4.9999.zip file onto the app and it will spit out the new signed version.
What I think is more complicated is actually modifying those files. I use virtualbox to run windows and do everything with 7zip.
Anyone know of a zip program similar to 7zip to edit the apk and zip files?
Dude! Thanks! Alright guys get ready now that I have everything in place ADB, and signing my .zip files expect Luck's turn at android development lol. Im hecka grateful for everybody but now im ready haha thanks guys
Thanks for the help.
Works like a charm.

Q: How do I sign my zip or apk?
A: First you must have java installed on whatever OS you're running. Windows users download the Win-sign.zip attachment. Linux users download Linux-sign.zip attachment.

i did that and all it says is
"SignApk.jar is a tool included with the Android platform source bundle.
testkey.pk8 is the private key that is compatible with the recovery image included in this zip file
testkey.x509.pem is the corresponding certificate/public key
Usage:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip"
You must have the linux android sdk installed to use this.
Place the sign folder inside the android sdk tools folder so you have a path IE ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/sign
Place the androsign file the tools folder.
Open a terminal and cd into the android sdk tools folder
Type the following command to sign your .zip/.apk:
sudo androsign ~/folder_containing_zip/nameofzip.zip
This will output a file with original zip name plus -signed IE rom-signed.zip
Actually, I think it would be cool if we could have something like this on the "All Current Guides" wiki page or something. Trying to figure out how to do pretty minuscule stuff like signing a zip requires some pretty deep thread searching. Want to learn how to customize a ROM? Search the threads. Unfortunately, that thread will refer to another one. Only to have that one point to another.
It would be nice to have a How-To guide for things like rooting, signing zips, customizing, etc. I just think that a How-To wiki for all these things would reduce the number of threads like this. And I'm saying this as someone who knows how to do all those things. I just remember the confusion and frustration.

Odds are they just added the .zip extension to upload them. Just delete the .zip out of the name and try to install the cab then.

1. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Down + Talk/Send + End/Power.

And the solution posted above won't work. The files should not be extracted. Unless there's an app that will let you package a bundle of files into an .apk within a .zip file. Which would work but I can't find a .apk compressor.
Thanks so far guys.
ooor you could make it into a zip and rename it to .apk...
Ive tried that.
extract the .apk, edit what i want, zip it up then rename it to myfile.zip to myfile.apk right?

If you can extract the files, it seems like you dont need 7zip/WinRAR... Just drag the files you have edited overtop of the window of whatever program you used to extract. No?
im not exactly sure what you mean but from what i think your saying, no i cant just drag a file into the apk like i can on 7-zip
Ah yea, sorry, I used APK builder in the sdk :/
If you can, you could run windows/linux in a vm, then you should be able to pack em correctly.
Or ask a friend if he/she can do it for you

Well boot camp is free and included in Leopard/Snow Leopard but, you defenatelly have to buy Windows. I suggest going on ebay, buy a re-install dell disk for seven (they are around $20) and just temporaily use it for your needs until the 30 day trial expires. Or you can just buy it....

Yeah for sure! I always extract the boot images from the stock builds myself, I use this tool
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
It's a windows exe, just download the full zip and extract the payload.bin into the input folder and everything you need is placed in output
Antivirus might flag this as a virus, but it's totally clean, I use it all the time.
