How should I download eclipse for android?
I keep getting this strange problem where I can't open eclipse because it has a missing neighbouring file or something?
All I did was unzip the directory and open the application and now it is stuck with some kind of error?
What is the error exactly? And what OS are you on? You should just be able to unzip it to a local folder and launch it just fine. A little more info would help.

Eclipse is not an installable .exe file (in windows)
Its just an archive, and all you need to do is extract it to the location of your choice in computer and open the eclipse.exe file. And I guess that's what you've already did.
Also, which version of Eclipse you've downloaded? Check whether the downloaded file is corrupted by re-downloading. Download Eclipse Classic 4.2
And as said above, a little more info would be great.

Ok , I am trying to resign my phcanBmp.dll file to have my own images. I have used ResHack in order to change the file and make a new one but I know you need to sign the file in order for it to work...
So I have downloaded the latest BuildOS+Package 4.2b3 and it has a signapp.exe.... Problem is I cant find any information on how to use it??? I have searched google and located a sign and timestamp dll files but I am not sure if this will work with mobile applications.
Please help

ResHack will cause a dll or exe locked to sign if u edit it heavily.
Use Heaventools Resource Editor or PE Explorer instead
I bought Resource Editor and there is no way to sign the file....It shows when I edit only 6 bitmap files it says the file is no longer signed or trusted...is there a way around this

i attached the program i used to sign the htchome.dll file I patched. Do the following:
1) Put the file in the same folder as the program.
2) Go into command prompt and navigate to the folder which contains the the file (in my case C:\Documents and Settings\ScottE\Desktop\Programs\ATT Tilt\Programs\SignCode\SignCode)
3) Type "sign filename" which in my case was: sign htchome.dll
Then it should give you a message that the file was signed.
I just added a screenshot
you can also use sign tool from Microsoft SDK 2008
i tought he cannot sign the file after edit it. silly me there is also multisign tool floating in this forum based on SDK but with easy GUI.

Thats what I used..!!!! Thank you so much for the response...The 2008 SDK signs files but not really, you actually have to buy digital signatures...this way its free and works....
Just copied my phncanbmp test file to my phone and it works like a charm!!

Those aren't for android though
I'm afraid that I don't think there is one. You're probably stuck using a computer.
Or you could try to get unrar (linux command line) running on your phone and then do this from the command line
Code:
unrar e -p{password} file.rar
Let me know if you get unrar compiled on your phone

Updates by me.
quick search in market, gave me Unrar from Twanky Deuce Software
I use AndroZip for zips and rars, works well
Unrar is closed source, can't get it compiled for ARM.
Unrar and Androzip don't support passworded files.
I am looking for a run down on signing a file.
So far, I have taken other people files and just edited images from the apk moved them back and signed using Kitchen (Only way I know how)
So I am at a stand still here...
I want to add
app\Rosie.apk
and
system\com.htc.resources.apk
to a file so that I can change things a little more.
But have not had luck.
Can someone give the rest of us some steps?
Thanks.
are you on windows? if so, then use this batch script. unzip it and get to signing
how would you sign a zip on a mac?

firstly, install java. then look inside the batch script and you'll see the basic layout for signing files from terminal.
EDIT: what it inside the script is this basic layout for signing, "java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip"
replace "update.zip" with your zip file and update_signed.zip with your zip file with "signed" or something so you know it's signed appended before the .zip

Yes, I am running windows. Thanks for the file! I will give it a try.
So I see the Sign.bat All I know so far, (Sorry, still new)
My folder will be laid out like this.
<update.zip>
<system>
<app>Rosie.apk</app>
<framework>com.htc.resources.apk</framework>
</system>
<update.zip>
But I dont know where to go from there?
I wonder if we counted, how many threads do you think were started here with this EXACT same question?

I dont know how to do that or what it does.
I unziped the folder to my desktop but really dont know where to go from there.
I also dont know command prompt at all for the most part.
Only little things {cd} {*} things like that but even than its just at sight.
I looked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618874 and there does not seem to be a wiki or anything on this.
make a new folder where you'll want to zip all your files
copy the autosign.zip to this folder
unzip it.
zip up your files and update-script, name the zip update.zip and put them in this folder
run the batch script from command prompt
Code:
Sign.bat
you will now have a new zip called update_signed.zip, which is you signed update.zip
Does flipzmode's Kitchen do the same thing?
I know there is a sign part to it.
I have used it but not sure if it does the same thing.
When doing this is get an error.
It says it can not find the update script?

Unzip this. Place the testsign.jar in the root directory of your Mac. Not the home (user) directory, but should be "Macintosh HD" or something of the sort. Then place the Android-Sign.app in /Applications. Even easier to make a shortcut to it in the dock. Whenever you want to sign a file, drag it to the Android-sign app, and it will sign it and put it in the same directory as the original, with "signed" at the end so you'll know which one is which.
For Mac there is an auto-sign program. Just put testsign.jar on the root of your computer hard drive (Macintosh HD) and it works. To sign a ROM, open the rom folder, select all the contents, right-click, and click Conpress. Rename archive.zip to whateveer you want. Drag it onto the Android Sign program and then wait for the program to close (when the dot goes away). There should be another file in the ROM folder called Archive-signed.zip. That is your signed zip.
...That's what I just posted.

We posted it at like the same time I think he figured out how to do the actual signing, but he zipped the folder and not the contents. So... It was rom.zip>rom>contents of rom.

You're using Stericson's autosign.bat correct?
I might be wrong but if you use Kitchen you can auto sign things and it works really good.
Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but how would I install apps on my T-Mo MyTouch 3G Slide, that are offered on this or any other forum? Do I download them to my PC and first start the installation there, somehow? Or how would I do it??
I'm very new to this whole Android world. I just bought my phone.
Thanx for the help!!
Applications in this forum usually comes in the form of .apk's. An apk is an installer file for Android and must be run from the phone.
So you have two options when you find programs here on this forum:
1. You download the file on your PC, connect the phone to your PC and mount the SD-card, copy the file over and run it from your phone
2. Browse to the forums via your phone and download them directly and run them
It can be done via dropbox, chrome2phone, email etc as well if you want to

THANK YOU!!!!
The file that I download, copy in to any folder (Programs ect...) on to your SD card and run the file from the phone, correct? What is the format of that file needs to be? It won't be an *.exe right? What format do I make sure the correct file is? Is there any other ways? Just asking
Thank You!!
You can put it anywhere on the SD-card, just be sure you have some sort of file manager from the market and remember where you put it After that you just run it and it should install (if you get several options when you run the file, the correct one to run it with is "Package Installer").
The files will be in the format programname.apk

Attached is the eclipse file i cannot unzip... anyone else have this issue? i went ahead and attached what i was going to unzip next havent tried it yet... been stuck on eclipse all day well nevermind guess too big to upload... just trying elcipse from eclipse website help?
I'm pretty sure that that when I installed eclipse I used WinRar, however 7zip or winzip should work, what kind of error are you getting when you try to extract the files?
have you downloaded it succesfully ?
still no success. I gave up on it... But want to get it! It says something like unkown file type or damaged.... I'm downloading it from eclipse.org eclipse basic... windows 64 bit.... I dont understand why it wont open...
Got everything downloaded now just can't add Android sdk to eclipse..... :/
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
If it doesn't unzip eclipse it's probably because the file is corrupted, try re-downloading it
I got eclipse now.downloaded Android sdk but can't do the thing to plug Android sdk into eclipse. Says something is missing

What error message do you get? Also make sure you have the appropriate Java version installed (At times I've noticed problems with apps linked to 32-bit libraries, opened with 64-bit Java or vice versa). Although I think it should have both installed in Windows 64-bit.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have a similar thread. The error is either
1) org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2 error
(When using eclipse indigo)
2) org.wst.sse.core 0.0 error
(When using eclipse Helios)
I will have to look at error. Its after Tron to add it. Hit next next then your suppossedto hit accept and it don't.... And I really wanna get this lined out.been Tryin since..... Last week?

not sure if this is strictly related to the problem of the OP, but after I downloaded Eclispe it would not unzip correctly. It failed on about 14 files.
After looking around, i found it was a path length problem (Windows has a path length folders+filename restriction) and the Eclipse developers know this but still make their paths quite long, since ver 3.5 or something like that.
The way i got around it was very simple: move the zip file to your root folder (eg c:\) then unzip it. You won't have all the extra folders in the unzip path that doing it on the desktop, for example, would have.
