[Q] Help with APK Tool - General Questions and Answers

Wondering if anyone could provide me with some guidance on using APK Tool? I've successfully used it to decompile an app that I want to make some subtle graphic changes to. The main problem I have is how to recompile it so that it is signed and allowed to be installed on Android. I can't seem to find any clear instructions on recompiling.
Can anyone either help me with some clear directions on this or point me to a site that goes over this a bit deeper? I did a search already but couldn't find anything particularly helpful.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Completed] Camera app compilation

Hello there,
I tried to compile the Camera app from CyanogenMod (11). For that, I imported the app in Eclipse.
As soon as I imported the application, I got 8000+ errors.
I tried solving one or two, but it wont matter anyway, as they are 8000+!
So, I tried to import the AOSP camera app, and the condition was still the same.
My question is, is there some external package to be imported before I import the camera app?
If there is please inform me about it. awaiting reply.
Thanks,
C-Aniruddh
Hi,
Like the rules of this forum said, the mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.
This is not a "helpdesk" providing technical assistance but more to point you in the correct direction with your problem. Perhaps you can't find posts on how to root your phone, install custom recovery or maybe you have questions about how to navigate and use features on the site.
So, like i said, you're an experienced user and for that you must ask for that in the correct forum here:

[Completed] File storage web service

Hi,
I'm working on a delivery system for CASUAL, an open-source language I came up with to modify android devices. So I need a place where people can store files. I have a web server at casual-dev.com, but I am unable to figure out a suitable service/system which can do the following:
1. a web login/password system
2. user can upload/modify/delete their files
3. an API for remote access.
4. uploaded files are hosted publicly.
I could use some help locating a suitable open-source service and i don't really know where to go to figure out the answer, or let alone word the question so it's more relatable. I'm asking for something very simple.
Sir,
Please wait an answer from our administrative team.
Thanks

Hi Adam,
This section is for helping guide new members on where to find their answer on XDA. I do not think your question is quite so simple as to point you to a thread or forum. Might I suggest you ask in Android Q&A?
Cheers
Kenny

Android Q&A wouldn't be the proper place for a website infrastructure question. I don't know where the proper place would be. This is why I asked here.

We'll have to figure out the place, but nevertheless this isn't the place, thanks. Maybe ping Sv or Mike C.
Good to go, thread closed.
