[Q] Translating Settings.apk - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi there
We, the Hungarian community are planning to translate settings.apk to Hungarian.
The problem is that I can extract it with apktool, but after build from the extracted files install it.
I tried to install like a standard apk, but it gives the error message "Application not inst Anyway, I tried to copy the file to /system/app folder, but after that Settings disappear i Launcher menu.
Need the builded Settings.apk be resigned? I don't know a lot about android apllication signing.
I noticed that when I try to install a stock application from other rom's /system/app fold gives the same error message: Application not installed
So the question is How can I install the rebuilded Settings.apk?
Thanks for any help

[Q] HELP! How do I sign an .apk file?

Here's the deal...I downloaded youtube v2.4.4 from here. I opened it in 7zip and extracted the res folder so I could re-theme it. I made my changes then put the res folder back into the original apk. Now this is where the problem occurs. I can't for the life of me figure out how to re-sign the .apk! I have tried every single apk-signer out there to no avail. I have put it in apkManager then decompiled it optimized PNGs recompiled then signed then zipaligned but EVERY time I install it on my phone I get either "Application not installed." or "There is a problem parsing the package." I have uninstalled all versions already on my phone through Titanium Backup prior to installing my themed one. I have manually put it in /System/app and changed permissions and rebooted. NOTHING I do works. I have adb and java installed and in the PATH. I have tried every possible solution I have found on the internet and none work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!
P.S. I have an HTC Thunderbolt running the latest build (3/17/12) of ThunderStick Full Blown Sense 3.0 (Thread for this ROM here)
Here is the edited res folder - Maybe someone can look at or use it for troubleshooting.
Thanks again for any input on this problem.
go to market and search and download zipsigner2. open it and navigate to the app and then chose and output and save it as an .apk file and it should install like normal

[Q] Can't translate my ICS ROM

Hi there,
I decompiled all apk from the system/app/ folder of the original .zip of the ICS ROM I want to translate (MIUIv4 RD), I added in each of decomplation directory the correct values-*lang*/ folder, I recompliled everything (without any error, using a bit mooded version of apktool (else it fails)), I flashed every apk to my phone, but the new language won't appear in MIUI ICS menu. Is there any more file to edit so that it can use new languages values ?
Thanks for help. If it succeed, I promise I will upload my files .
Cheers,

insert language of rom ics

Hi, I'm trying to enter the European languages ​​in the rom ics. I read around that the files should be placed on the framework-res.apk.
I tried to extract the apk with apktool and removes it properly. the problem comes when I have to recompile the apk. the file does not compile the program can not find the source.
"Could not find sources"
or installed the framework with the command "apktool if framework.pkg"
you have any suggestion about it?
for try to made this job a follow this guide http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/how_to_translate_any_rom_to_any_language
I also tried to recompile the file without changing anything but apktool always the same error.make this test i'm sure that i don't mistake to edit some file but the procedure for compile apk file
its not a good idea, the new apk with modified strings is not stable, even you work the compiling out, you would not like the result after you place the new apk in .

I've tried to follow that guide but it did not work.
But there are already successful, but unfortunately modificado only the file framework-res.apk do not get a full translation of the Roma, but partial. There is certainly some other file to edit. the part that is not translated is that relating to the configuration that is the configuration menu
does anyone know how to translate the menu setting
tnks in advance

Problen in app compiled

Hi friends,
I'm having a problem on recompiling my Settings.apk.
I unpack the application to include the pt-rBR translation. I succeeded in including the translation.
When installing Settings.apk everything worked perfectly. However, when I perform a factory reset, settings.apk don't work, Simply apk disappears/deleted. The same happens if I create a system installation ZIP file via TWRP.
Error occurs because of this settings.apk file not being installed on the first boot. I have tried to translate all other apks of systems: framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk and all work normally, however with Settings.apk this error occurs.
Does anyone know tell me what I'm missing to do so it can be included in a Custom ROM to create a TWRP install?

What tool(s) are you using? Are you resigning or using the original signature?
