[TOOL][GUIDE] Release key maker and auto-signer / how to add java to your path

Release key signer
This is a tool I made for myself and figured I'd share it with everyone
what it does :
1 makes you your own set of release keys
2signs an apk with those keys
3zipaligns your apk
4signs zip files with your release keys
You need to have java in your system path if you don't know how then follow the guide in the second post.
What are release keys? release keys are what google and other corps. use to sign apks and update zips. It's also required to sign an apk with release keys to put them on the market.
How to use:
1ownload release key maker from here
2: unzip anywhere then put your apk (you must remove the meta-inf folder from the apk) into the unzipped folder
3: Double click the batch file and follow the steps
Part Two
This other upload is just an updated version it doesn't let you make the release keys it already has them and the keystore password in the batch file. It also signs zips with a test key because signing a zip with a release key seems to mess some things up.
Download part two here
simple right?
thanks go to:
Papa smurf (for spreading the info)
Darchstar ( I just like your roms)

To do:
hopefully add the ability to not have to enter your password when you sign an apk

a little window will open like this in environment variables scroll down to path select it and click edit
another window will open like this
at the very end of it type this
Code:

click all the "ok" then I believe a reboot is necessary
now enjoy

updated post with new stuff

Had an issue with the path for the jdk, but went and looked and saw that the file name for the version I have is 1.6.0_23 instead of _21. Once I got that minor issue lined out it works great. Thank you for this.

ok... so it helps to have the right Javas installed... weak lol

[BOOT ANIMATION] Iwo Jima Flag Raising, goes good with Liberty Rom

Hey everyone, I just finished my first releasable boot animation. As the title suggests, it is an animation of the American flag being raised over mt suribachi on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima during WWII. Not only is this a full animation of it being raised, but you also have the option to have a sound in the background. I will be including my sound version with a clip from the song "Killing in the Name Of" by RATM. There is also a non sound version for those of you that want a stealthy boot up, say if you were in school.
both zips are flashable through cwm recovery
How To install them :
1. copy/move the bootanimtionwithsound.zip/bootanimationnosound.zip file to your SDcard
2. Reboot into CLOCKWORKMod Recovery
3. goto " Install Zip from SDCard "
4. goto " Choose Zip from SDcard "
5. goto where you have the animation zip file
6. highlight the animation you want and press the camera key
7. Install the Animation.
8. Press Back key.
9. then " Reboot system now "
If you want sound, but dont want the RATM sound, find a .mp3 file, edit it down to about 10 seconds of your favorite part, save it as Android_Audio.mp3; then extract the contents of the bootanimationwithsound.zip to your desktop and navigate through the folders data and local and replace the mp3 with yours, and then do the same for the system then media folder. Then highlight the things you extracted and right click add to archive. rename to what you want and then select .zip, then change the compression method to STORE and click ok/done/ what ever it is. then you can move it to you sdcard and use the above steps to install it. Have Fun!

Thats it

Thanks, works as a charm.
Does it matter what you choose on 'Sim operator'?
And i hope this app doesn't hi-jack my google account.
Cheers.

Your "question" is justified.
Some reputable vendors publish this type of download.
I think yes it is safe.
Source of Chrome extension.
I use the Sim OP "USA - T-Mobile" because then all the apps appear.
Some users know the "Market Enabler" for the Market in our phone. This is a similar principle.

I use two step verification on my Google account. I think that is a good thing to use for everyone. Then you don't have to use your main password for applications that need your password.

[Q] APK OneClick v4.2 help

First off I will say this is the greatest tool I have ever came across and I am thankful for anyone that ad hand in its production. The tool of course is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873466 and it has been working great for me. But earlier today I used winrar to open a com apk file and edit a specific txt file however I accidentally didn't un-click the "use as default program" box and now right-clicking and apk file will not display the decompile option or install to phone option any longer. I figured since the default program had been changed it was not being recognized by one click apk any longer so I deleted the default program for the apk file type in the registry and uninstalled then re installed the shellext for APK_OneClick however the right-click apk options still will not show. I can recompile folders to APKs but nothing else. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced it is driving me crazy.
I am assuming my problem is fro the whole winrar accident as the icon provided with OneClick no longer is displayed for apk files either I just can't solve the issue.
