Always cant install to phone. Xperiax10iuser signed the same apk for me using signapk and worked fine [thanks ] so its not the file
Im in the middle of creating theme at mo but still cant sign / well it signs and creates the new names apk but they dont work still.
Just wondering if its because im using the certificate.pem and key.pk8 file that came in the signapk package? Do i need to edit or change them to my own? If so how do you do this lol
EDIT: As ou will see from my orig post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8096887#post8096887 just going into the archive apk and replacing images is not working - why im trying to sign them again afterwards
Im the meantime could some pleaaase sign this for me,
Signed it and it installed - Is it a theme?? I'm just looking for it now to see how it looks!
thanks yeah theme, hopefully the images work on changed the MDPI ones hoping thats the images adw uses on the x10 otherise itl be the old action bar from hdpi folder
sowhat am i doing wrong, im copying apk into singapk folder [d:\SignApk
open command prompt
Typing first line,
cd d:\Signapk
then,
d:\>java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 experiaui.adw.apk signed.experiaui.adw.apk
Then it creates the signed apk file and it doesnt work
hi - it works.. I now have it on my phone (Thx !!)... it's pretty cool.
Ahh just installed it and its using the hdpi images looks like il have to change them after all
its got the timescape style bottom bar instead of black. im going to change the images just now
I typed this...
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 signed.xperiaui.adw.apk signed.xperiaui.adw2.apk
Ok updated the HDPI images for the timescape style bar hopefully it looks ok, any chance you could sign this one? lol
edit: there is no test key in the folder of signapk i got/ could you send me your signapk?
EDIT: ok found one with those files called autosign.zip jst trying it now
EDIT AGAIN: ok that worked thank god will be alot easier to do now!
Are you all sorted now then buddy? I'm going to bed soon - got to take my kids to hockey training at 0900 tomorrow!
Sorry yeah thanks bed for me too now il attach what ive done sofar, trying to match timescape UI look to go with xperia skinned stuff. Was discussed in a thread here but never got made.. final one for tonight
its an adw theme should work on any version adw i think [dont use icons if you dont like sticker album, will be getting to icon editing when rest is done]
What's the .apk file? What's in it?
Also version with black bar at bottom if you dont like blue
sorry its a modded theme for ADW Launcher

Love the font but I wish everything was red. The mix of red and green looks a bit strange.
I'm too lazy to edit the htc resources apk... .9 pngs are no fun, and with no /system write access, its a pita to test themes. I need my phone right now and seeing as how vzw is a cdma carrier, its a pain to switch phones. Believe me, the green bothers me just as much as it bothers you guys... but I'm just gonna wait it out till koush ports cm to our phones. Having the source for .9 pngs makes things a lot easier for theming, and I don't want to waste any time.

Hey thanks for everything love all the red...its understandable that certain things will remain green....one thing tho...the date isn't centered properly on the unlock screen. The tab you slide down..
bump for less green... yay for "borrowing" from others. go donate to that guy somehow. Check out first post.
Good to see some of my work getting over to the incredible. As soon as I get some time ill try and port over my themes.
This is a nice and minimalist tweak. Thank you.
2 questions:
1) If I load just the framework file, will the stock Droid fonts stay in use? (would prefer those over your modded version)
2) Any chance you'd consider doing a blue version? I think the blue mixed with the un-editable sense green would go a little better than the red.

Ok, so i renamed a default adw theme apk to .zip to unpack and add the images I want and change the orange glows etc after renaming back to apk cant install on phone 'problem parsing package' assuming this is because i unpacked it and re zipped / renamed to apk.
Is there another way of doing this?? Originally made the theme using template and eclipse / sdk with the adw theme template release package but when i install my app [which was packed unsigned as ive no idea how to go through this keymaker stuff] it cannot be installed on x10 [for 2.2] and you cant use the theme template in eclipse with 1.6 minimum it doesn't work and noticed on github site I got the template from [AnderWeb original] that it needs to be based on 2.2 but will work on 1.6 etc [it doesn't].. this was in the comments when ppl were getting errors in the manifest file, was becuase they set it for 1.6
So anyway aside from confusion I only need to change the png images surely theirs a simple way to unpack / explore and change the APK ??? Spent far too long getting nowhere now and killing chrome with over 50 web tabs and searches open lol
open the apk with 7-zip, and just drag the images straight into the archive - no need to unpack at all!
I'm using a modded theme, but have apks open with Winrar by default so don't need to rename them. When you open the apk leave it open whilst you work on it then once you've added your files just close and install it.
... And don't forget to sign it . Thats the reason you are getting this error.

Might be as well re-downloading it to your phone and pulling it, I cant seem to find the default one on my phone but can see the one I modded.
What you using to pull it, as they are hidden in drawer the file manager i use to back up also doesnt see adw or its themes lol. I d/l the one i had from god knows what side cant find it now. Just goin g to mod a stock adw laucnher v1.1 apk see if that works also because the new version i had messed up alot of themes and not many are updated for it yet.

thanks.. now saying this application cannot be installed on this phone lol happy days! used winrar and zzip to open and add new images, very annoying now lol.
Uploaded the APK below
'ADW.Launcher could not be installed on this phone'
Would this be because its replacing a newer version? although it gets passed the promp telling me it will replace another app on the phone
Ok annoyd now uninstalled current adw and tried still wont install lol now im stuck with stock hope it keeps saved settings lol
how are you editing the archive im copy/pasting im my drawable-hdpi etc folders in which is replacing the old ones within the archive
When you modify the apk, theres something about the certificates that prevent you from installing a modified version. if u learn how to sign it ul b fine.. btw if there's a stock version u after let me know.. iv got quite a few of them! lol
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
Comparing files from the older apk and the one you posted, some of the file dimensions are different as in your images are bigger, and some of yours don't look right either, what are the little dashes dotted around some of them...
open it in photoshop its fine. Thats PNG transparency doesnt show in image viewer

Wasssup fellas! Ok so I'm no themer but I've started to delve into your world a little bit. I'm looking to draw on the experience of any of you that have successfully modified the Rosie. So here's my set up
I've got Apktool set up in Ubuntu before you ask I downloaded 1.3.1 not 1.3.2
I have all the dependencies in place
I've installed the framework (apktool if com.htc.resources.apk)
Rosie.apk decompiles with no errors (apktool d Rosie.apk out)
I've modified /res/value/colors.xml to add transparency to the app drawer? (This may be my issue)
Compiled (cd out/ .......apktool b) compiles with no errors
I've tried this signing Rosie.apk, Not signing it, Copying out the "Res" and "Resource" file and going into the original Rosie.apk with Ark Manager without extracting the archive and dropped in the "Res and "Resource" files.
Same result each time when I push the file via ADB or put it in a flashable zip the phone boots goes through the animation capacitive keys light up then the phone gets stuck on the last frame of the boot animation and just hangs there forever no boot loops just hangs there?
Any help would be more than appreciated, thanks guys!

Rosie in my sky raider theme is working great. And I modified the png's inside it. Didn't need to do all of the things you did. I just themed the png's, zipped it up in an update.zip and then flashed it through recovery.
But I did not edit the colors.xml like you did. I left that alone.

Be sure to use the same com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from the ROM you took Rosie from.

This means sense failed to load. The phone booted but sense does not work. If you have a back up launcher it would have defaulted to that. Good way to test is to install lp or launcher 2 so next time it will still load in.

The Rosie is part of the theme I'm using which comes with both the Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. Am I correct in using this set of framework files or should I be using the Rom's original framework?
What exactly are you trying to modify in rosie? Is it just the app drawer background? I can tell you that rosie has little to do with framework-res. The app drawer background colors are located in launcher.xml and allappsgridview.xml.

I mentioned the framework because apktool requires you to install it to decompile rosie.apk. I will check those xml's out. The failed boot may be because I edited the /res/values/colors.xml file. I don't have my virtual machine fired up but I did edit one of the all_apps strings in there from #ff000000 to #80000000 on the advice of a themer. This may be what f'd me up.

What changes should I make to the XML's for transparency? Also after I compile Rosie what do you recommend for a process in getting the new changes implemented? To clarify, should I rip the resources file and classes.dex out of the new compiled version and replace the ones in the stock Rosie? Ive tried about 20 different methods and I get force closes each time...thanks man!

If it compiled correctly you should be able to push the compiled version to /system/app with no trouble. There are 2 possibilities:
1) The apk got signed with whatever tool you are using and system apk's can't be signed this way. I think APKManager signed with the test cert automatically.
2) The changes in the xml's may not be correct for which we need to wait for deficitism to verify what was changed. Typically changing color attribs won't cause an FC though.
One thing you can try is to just extract the res folder, where the changes are, in the new Rosie to your PC and open the original with 7zip and drag that folder to the 7zip window. Then push that.

Hi, All,

To Use:
remove the unsigned- part from the name and use root explorer or adb push to put it in system/framework/
and then reboot!
To do this mod to another rom:
Decompile using apktool or apkmanager (which utilizes apktool) and then...
find bools.xml in res/values of a decompiled framework-res and then find this line

Theres some sort of setting that can apparently cause it to work about 7/8 of the time but not that other 1/8. I'm looking around to see what it is and how it can be resolved.
And just in case did you push or install with root explorer?

Hi all! First off, thanks to jholtom for figuring this out. I have thrown this mod in my PCB Blue theme (beta testing only now), and confirm that it works, BUT only when on the homescreen. I.E. if you are in any other app, the CRT animation will not run. Switching back to the homescreen does allow it to work again though. Another trick (if you have the kb dock) is to hit the "LOCK" key (top-right) while in another app, and then the CRT animation appears to play on further on/off toggles, but without unlocking the screen.
Not sure what the cause/solution of that may be, but I did find this thread on RootzWiki that also shows how to edit a .smali file in 'services.jar'. I am too lazy to decompile 'services.jar' and the .smali script, but if someone else is able to, maybe we can see if the further mods will allow it to work 100% of the time. Here's that thread:
[DEV] Enabling CRT ON & OFF Animation in Roms [HOW-TO]
I hope Roach gets wind of this, and maybe his expertise will point us in the right direction for how to get it working perfectly. It is such a simple animation overall, but one that gives us such joy and pleasure
Cheers!
Was hoping you would catch wind of this scar45 and put it in your theme. And nice work to you jholtom!
I hadn't looked at the CRT off animation for HC before as I read it didn't work right but I also didn't know about the potential fix in the services.jar file.
I'll have a wee play about and see what I can come up with.

It work while in portrait also but the animation only shut down in landscape.
Like on the phone it only shut down in portrait. Hope I make sense.
It only work when you're on one of the home screen and not anywhere else.
Yeah, I got it working for screen on and off but only from the Home Screen. When you do if from within an app the TF flips out.
I'm pretty handy with Photoshop (I do graphic design) and I was wondering how I would go about making a theme. I am on Melvins stock ROM and I don't use a launcher. It was so simple on the iPhone, so is there a method similar to that of the iPhone?
Hey I'm in the same boat as you being design graduate myself. Its pretty easy actually you just need to get to know all the apk files and what goes where. The framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk house the majority of the files overall that you will most likely wanna mod. Then you have app specifics. Anyway here is a little vid to get you started very basic like. Its the dev M&S from the Tmob thread. His themes are super slick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSB8iQvpU9k
That is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. It's actually fairly easy, and I'm glad I don't have to use winSCP anymore.
Quick question though, what do I download to get the script and all that? And the SDK part?
I downloaded the APK manager and I have no idea how to get the framework into the script. Any ideas?
well you should watch the video! if you don't wanna watch than.
Copy framwork-res.apk from system>framework folder.
Past it in the apk folder where it says "Put here for Modding" and than you can open up the command prompt and go from there!
Hope this helps!\
Make sure to do nandroid because messing with framwork will give you softbrick and you will be F*****!

lol I was like the vid shows it too! And also you will need to do a search on how to mod .9 png files. They have code in them so if you mod them in photoshop ( I did this at first) they end up all warped and busted. At first I recommend the "extract" for starters in APK manager. Gives you access to all the png files and such. Once you get more familiar then choose "decompile" so you can edit the xml files (change text color etc). Hope that helps
I will be closely following this thread as I am learning to theme as well, let's help each other!
Does anyone know how to do the videos first part in "apk multi tool"?
Actually nvm I figured it out
I did watch the video. There are some steps he skips, however. Like selecting the framework, he never tells you how to get it in the folder. I figured it out, eventually.. but I still don't know how to get it onto my phone using the SDK that he uses. That is my question.
Ive been at this for about an hour lol. I figured out how to push the file but I couldnt do it from /tools/ so I tried pushing the apk from /platform-tools/ and it worked the only problem is that I edited the battery colors just to test and see if it would work. They were supposed to be red but their still the same color.
Btw to the above post, go to cmd and type "cd c:/" and then wherever your sdk is located. Unless thats not what your talking about then idk =/
Update: It worked...but...bootloops so I had to push the original frameworkres and it booted up and when I re-pushed the one I edited it still gives me a bootloop
I've started building themes. Everything has worked fine so far. I themed my gmail apk blue. And have been working on framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk. Far from done but I've made changes to all three and pushed them to my phone no problem. Im using pirateghosts stock Rom space_pirate i believe is the Rom name

I'm using alien 5.5 and I'm still getting bootloops trying to push my modded framework-res apk.
The cake is a lie.
