[Q] HELP! How to Sign a Rom! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Ok so i am building a rom, and I used Zipsigner 2 (android Market) the first time and it worked , and used Signapktic by Stericson (Android Market) and it worked, but after i used both of them once, they never worked again, then i googled how to sign a rom and i got a link from this site and android forum and those didnt work. So does anyone have a way to sign a rom on Windows vista w/o some Ubuntu system or something like that. Just directly on windows! Thank you

Configuring ADT plugin for eclipse -- no Android option in preferences

I'm trying to setup eclipse for Android but have run into an issue.
I'm following the guide here: bah, I can't post outside links from being a new user. But if you go to developer (dot) android (dot) com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html -- This is the part that I'm stuck on.
I've got eclipse to download the ADT plugin, but when trying to follow "Configuring the ADT plugin" I open the preferences via Windows > Preferences (step 1), but there is no "Android" option on the left hand side as indicated in step (2).
Any idea why this would be happening?
Thanks,
~kb
EDIT: This should really be in the base android development forum. I've messaged a moderator to hopefully get it moved, sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.
The Android option is not coming up under Window>Preferences in Eclipse after installing the ADT?
One reason that this may be occurring is because of Windows 7 security settings. Try starting up Eclipse with “Run as administrator.”
1) Start Eclipse with ‘Run as administrator’ (It may ask to change workspace directory. I just made it c:\workspace temporarily.)
2) Download the ADT plug-in with Eclipse as directed in the Android documentation
3) Profit
Note: I did not have to run as administrator every time. Once it was installed I could see it when I started Eclipse normally, but I had to set the Android SDK directory again.

this is happening to me also, but it was on ubuntu after i upgraded from lucid to maverick. ...i hate upgrading ubuntu...
Did you guys find any solution yet? I can't see "Android" under preferences either. And I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 recently.
I don't think the dev kit works well with Eclipse 3.6.
Try the 3.5 download
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/galileosr2
It is 3.5.
eclipse : issue fixed
I just signed in as I wanted to let you know about that issue I got.. fixed !
I tried several tricks so to speak, uninstalled Eclipse, uninstalled ADT plugin, reinstall the SDK, tried with and without adding the SKD path to the $PATH...
Using linux, I just deleted the .eclipse directory that was in my home directory.
You will have to add the repository for the ADT plugin to be installed, install the plugin... and restart Eclipse (not to mention you'll have to reinstall ALL the plugin you added, correct me if IM wrong).
Then you should be able to set the preferences about the SDK path... and have a new menu item (new project -> android )
Dont ask me what happened while upgrading my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10, I actually didnt take some time to investigate about it (ubuntu64 10.10)
(sorry about my english by the way)
Cheers,
Fabrice (France)
you're welcome.
Thanks LinuxFab, I'll give it a try.
Did this work?
I'm using a mac, so I'm wondering if this fix at least worked for ubuntu, lemme know! Thanks

[Q] sdk tools for xp

is there a way to install the sdk phone tools on xp? I have the 6.1v and visual studios 2010. But when i try to install it says i have to have win7 or vista, and i cant put win7 on machine cause it only has 128m ram. I have a patch file that is suppose to let ya install but haven figured out how to yet.
There are ways to get it installed but the emulator requires Directx 10 so that's not going to work. Without the emulator all you can do is write and compile code but not test to see if it works or not. Not very useful.
XP barely runs on 128mb of RAM so I imagine Visual Studio would be absolutely miserable to use if usable at all.
If you wanna develop for WP7 I guess its safe to say it time for an upgrade.
i would say so as well. even a netbook has more capabilities than that
Im not much of a developer in some ways so as for now all im wanting to do is use the toms installer or the reg sdk deployment tool witch i have but when i try to launch program i get this error:
Could not load file 'Microsoft Smart Device.Connectivity,10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Then when i try to install the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 windows phone from the WPDT_RTM_en_iso
i get this error: Microsoft xna game studio4.0 phone ex require visual 2010 or WPDT. install the required app and then relaunch setup. " witch i have the visual studio 2010 installed"
and i have a win7 netbook but have managed to have a kid that spilled tea on it so am trying to figure out the way to do this untill
i can afford to get another netbook.
Thanks for the help and replies guys, very appriciated!!
Ok so I got the xna game studio 4 to install but still getting the phone device connectivity error, is there something I can download to get by this and use the deployment
guess no solution huh
i don't believe so. the way i did it was to use a virtual machine so i could get the phone emulator working on an xp machine (virtual machine has windows 7 on it). but you don't have enough ram for that. you need at least 1.5gb dedicated to the virtual machine alone.
You can try this solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81. I just couldn't get it to install still as I kept getting an error saying could not install the following component .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack.
i finally found a iso file and downloaded it then opened up the baseline.dat file and edited it according to the patch settings and everything works just like it does on win7 netbook, just wanted to see if it was possible and it is!
Thanks for the replies.
Could you share that info? Ive been dying to get SDK tools on my XP... Thanks

Can you please share that? I have 4 XP computers at home and neither of them can run it. It would be great as I need the SDK to run Chevron unlocker! Thanks!
Link pleaseee
I so desperately need this also
for those that want the tools on windows xp, here you go: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/02/10005980.aspx
I finally got it to install on XP!
Here's what I did,
Download the .iso file (it's at the bottom of the page) :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce
After, make a new folder on your desktop and extract the ".iso" file into the folder.
Next, I grabbed the ".zip" file from here, : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81
Take the baseline.dat from the .zip file and replace it in the one with the extracted .iso files. Then just run setup.exe from the file. It should work! But make sure you have about 3 gb free from your hard drive. And emulator doesn't work, but I'm sure its fine if your not a developer.
Remember to hit the thanks button if it worked for you!

Problems Downloading the SDK - Sprint Evo Shift

So I'm attempting to root my Evo Shift.
Before that, I need to download and Install both HTC Sync (Already Installed) and the SDK.
But The SDK won't install after I downloaded it. It says I need the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). I downloaded the JDK off of this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I tried the first one. Same thing, didn't let me install the SDK when I tried again. Then I tried the last one. Same thing again. I already have JRE. I just need the JDK. The JDK got properly installed, but it still didn't let me go through with installed the SDK.
Does anyone know what I can possibly do?
Are there ways around this?
I got enough replies on my post for someone to tell me something.
Someone HAS to know the solution to this problem.
I read that if you just click back and then next again it will work. Tried that and I failed.
SOO many things I have tried.
I went back on the SDK download website and downloaded the .zip file instead of the .exe file. I extracted it but don't know where to go from there.
Is there another where of rooting my phone without SDK?
Bump
ANYONE?!

[Q] Which version of ECLIPSE do you recommend ???

Hello all. Pls answer this quick question.
Inspite of being an xda member for a while, i haven't had the knowledge of android development. Im just starting to learn things from now.
So, i think i should learn java (dalvik VM part). Now Im just following a book of developing android apps for noobs. I need to install eclipse and install ADT plugin for eclipse.
Well, im on windows7 ultimate 32bit version. I previously had an ECLIPSE HELIOS VERSION (i think it is eclipse classic 3.6, not sure but it shows eclipse helios on startup). I installed this eclipse helios version. But the problem is i cant install the ADT plugin in any way.
I tried "https://" with no luck. Also tried "http://" with no luck. Also tried "INSTALL FROM ZIP ARCHIVE" with no luck. Also tried this with older ADT zip archives ofcourse with no luck.
The single most error it shows for all these attempts is "Cannot complete the install because one or more required/requested items could not be found."
What do you say. Is the eclipse version having bug with ADT plugin. Or do i need to download another eclipse version. If so please give me the direct file download link for the version you recommend (please since im completely new to this).
Now also installed eclipse indigo and the same problem continued. What should I do.
Sent from my Blade using XDA App
You need to be connected to the internet to installed the required items. I had that error and once I connected to the internet I was fine. But I also had to download the ZIP file because the http-https didn't work for me either.

I'm having a similar problem. I've downloaded the JDK, Android SDK, and Eclipse indigo. I first tried importing the plugin to classic, and it said "requires plugin org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui". So I went back to Eclipse's site and found a version that included WST. Now it's telling me that it can't find one of the files. I've tried both the https, http, and zip versions. I've scoured developer.android, and there's nothing describing my problem.
I'm trying to get into the Android programming scene, but it seems like the "initiation ceremony" is getting the better of me.
Resolved
I managed to find a solution to the problem. Rather than installing Indigo, I reverted to a version of Helios, and everything worked perfectly

SDK Manager installation problem

Hello, I am trying to install android SDK in my computer. Im following this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466042
And when I am opening SDK manager Im getting this error : (i tried to google it, but nothing helped me :/ )
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/585/androidsdkas.jpg/
I really need your help, maybe you can advice me what should i do .
google search " android sdk" and go to the official site
Sorry cant post the link properly until i have ten posts
developer"DOT"android"DOT"com/sdk/index"DOT"html (replace "DOT" with . )
This is what I used to install the android sdk (with eclipse) and it worked flawlessly albeit a little slow
Id recommend this method theres a tutorial on the page ive linked along with the download files if ya wanna use this id uninstall whatever you've already downloaded
Good luck
if you go into your tools directory within your Android SDK, do you see the file "android.bat" that it is looking for? If so, simply run that bat file and see if that helps to get you any further with your installation.
