I am having hard time to install a ROM after I modded it a bit.
The ROM itself had been installed already and works perfectly.
I was trying to change a few things like icons, bootanimation, default launcher and other stuff but the phone keep giving me an error and fail to install the file.
my phone is HTC HD2 t-mobile version, the ROM is android 2.3.4 with CM7, I am installing ROMs using MAGLDR 1.13 + clk 3.1.0.1.
I modified the zip file using 2 methods - both led to the error
1. unpack the zip file, replace the files, repack the folders back together into zip
2. swapping the files without extracting the folders out of the zip file
in both cases I used winrar (my computer runs 64bit win7).
am I missing something?
any help will be much appreciated
This is strange... I basically use the same method to mod minor stuff (like icons)... And it works for me without problems.
Are you sure your repackaged file has the same structure? Maybe unpack both original package and your modified one and compare folders and files using WinDiff or something?
I ran a check with "Beyond Compare 3" and it appeared to be the same except the files I've replaced.
What archiving software are you using?
There is no need to sign the zip or anything like it, right?
I'm using Total Commander which has zip functionality built-in.
No, I don't need to sign anything either (although I don't know, maybe it requires setting development options in android's settings).
Hello everyone, I hope I have posted in the right section, I have to ask you a question that despite several hours of trial and research remains to me: I was going to download the firmware official google nexus 7 and take the apk that interest me, and install them on our tablet 7plus.
I downloaded the version both deodexed and odexed of the google nexus 7 and I extracted, for example, the contacts.apk DEODEXED from it.Installing the apk android ics stock tells me: error with the analysis of the packet. I also tested with version odexed putting the apk file and the odex file into the folder system / apps but also restarting did not work ...
1) it's possible what I want and for example it's possible to install another launcher (ex. launcher.apk stolen from google nexus 7 stock deodexed) like a normal apk and use it just pressing home button and selecting it instead of touchwiz launcher?
2) if yes can you explain me the procedure?
3) do you know where I can find the backgrounds stock once downloaded any ROM (which gives me the compacted system folder plus other img etc etc?
Thank you in advance .... sorry for my english, i hope you have understood my intention : I'm going to replace the application of our contacts and launcher tab with those of the google nexus 7
See you soon, Andrea

I don't think you can just copy over a system apk from one device to another without porting it which I cannot help you with. Same thing goes for the launchers they too would need to be ported over. You could try and use something like apkManager to decompile the app then make the necessary changes to it, i.e. resolution, device name, etc, etc,. then compile it. I have no experience doing this with apps and you might find some help by digging around in the main android development forum, not the one for this device the main one.

Hi, I am using ShenDu Custom DEV ROM on my Huawei U8860 (4.1.2-130329-DEV) and it doesn't come with Sim Toolkit.
I created a custom Zip that contains Stk.apk from another ROM, and flashed it. It flashes with no error, sets permission right but SimTookit app does not run. It is not in my list of apps or even running apps. find my signed ZIP attached.
Where could I have messed? P.S. I'm a noob

Solved the above thanks to this post by djnmcz.
You need to prepare a flashable zip with Stk.apk from similar ROM to yours, eg A ICS/Jellybean STK if you ROM is based on the same . Then extract the manifest (CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF) from the META-INF of your current ROM (ROM your phone is running on) and replace the same files in your flashable zip. You can then flash the zip from CWMR. No need to sign the apk or zip. The rule here is that for Stk.apk to work, it has to have the same manifest as your phone.apk. No idea what happens if you replace phone.apk alongside Stk.apk instead in a zip.
Attached is my zip, you can use the update script, but remember to change the Stk.apk and especially the Manifest file.

I'm running a custom rom on my HTC One X+. Your solution makes sense but I' not clear. Do I need the manifest from the original ROM? I see the stk.apk that came with the custom rom and the manifest. What do I replace? How do I make a flashable zip?
Sorry - noobie.

No , you need the manifest from the ROM that you want to flash the STK to. If it came with the ROM, it should probably work?

You can extract this zip, then replace the STK with one from your phone model, but you have to replace the manifest files - (CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF) from the META-INF folder of the ROM your phone is on (the one without toolkit). Zip the folder again, then reboot phone and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1865210&d=1365355542

HTC One X+ AT&T
Custom ROM: Elegancia 5.3
ROM included STK.apk but SIM Toolkit is not visible as APP. I followed the instructions and created a flashable zip using the STK from Elegancia ROM, and the manifest files from this ROM. I was successful in flashing ZIP using TWRP recovery. Skipped MD5 files checking.
STK.APK can be found in system/app folder but SIM Toolkit is not visible in app drawer. I can find SIM Toolkit in Settings / Applications, but the app is checked as DISABLED and cannot be unchecked. This was the same behavior after I flashed the customer ROM.
I deleted the STK.apk from the system/app folder and flashed the zip file again. The STK flashed successfully and I can find it in the system/app folder but the behavior is still the same. SIM Toolkit is not visible.
Not sure what I did wrong?

Hi, did you ever get sorted? If not, you can attach your ROM and STK I see if I can compile a working solution.
I also need to get STK work on my SlimRom 4.3 for Samsung GT-I9100G Galaxy S2

Hi
First, I do apologize, I am a newbie and I cannot post links.
I have the same issue. I am using the latest SlimRom 4.3 for my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
When I browse my apps with Link2SD for example, I see there is a SIM Toolkit com.android.stk version 4.3-910. See screenshot Screenshot_2013-09-20-18-55-27.jpg attached.
But the STK does not appear among the Apps.
I need to use the APP because I have bought from Magic-Sim an adapter, supposedly designed for GS2s, to run 2 Sims: MAGICSIM ELITE - NO CUT A DUAL SIM ADAPTER
In order to switch from Sim to Sim, I need to access the STK app.
MagicSim told me to Dial 007 from my phone and that would enable me to switch then from Sim 1 to Sim 2 just by dialing 001 or 002.
It does not work.
They also told me to save 007 on my local phone and to call it. It does not work as well.
So, is there a way of changing my STK?
I tried to install the latest version found in Aptoide: 5.1.2316262366.589212.571364, but it cannot install, on the grounds thre is another package with the same name but with a different signature.
Now, I know that my phone has detected 2 Sims. I am attaching a screenshot showing that the phone is detecting my Orange Sim as Sim-1 (which was not the case before installing the dual sim adapter).
I would be extremely grateful if I could get STK app or menu work on my phone.
All the best,
Chawki

What happens if you insert a SIM without the dual SIM thing, is it recognised? Did you flash your phone with a custom ROM before this started happening?
Sim works OK, just the STK I cannot access

Thanks for yhe reply. The Sim is OK, it works. The isse, I cannot access the STK menu.
Do you know any nice, pretty 4.3 Rom including STK for my I9100G that I could use. Most of the Roms I have checked do not contain STK (SlimBean, Cyanogenmod...)
Thanks

You have to create your own ROM with STK, just try finding a ROM with STK, preferable the same version (ie JellyBean, ICS). Then follow my guide above to create a flashable ZIP with STK. Seems the sTK has to be flashed with the same manifest file your dialer uses.

Try copying STK to the apps folder in your ROM, then flash your ROM and see if it works.

I used root explorer to copy stk.apk from e988 rom. Then replace your stk.apk in the zip above.
Copy and replace CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF from meta if folder of Lgphone_jb.apk to the zip.
Then i flash it with cwm.
Result is: see attach file. Sim tool kit isnt avaiable in app drawer.
Did i do anything wrong? How can i fix it.
Thanks alot if you help me. And sorry for my bad english

I don't know why it is not working for you. Check if the permissions of the app (through File Manager) match permission of other apps.

I have downloaded your version of SlimBean and confirmed that it already comes with STK, so no need to upload or reflash it. What's issue are you having since the Sim toolkit should be working for you?

Also confirm the folders , you have to have STK.apk in a folder called app, inside another folder called System when flashing. The certs and manifest files should also be in their respective folders.
You can also try this hack, also copy phone.apk to the app folder such that your flash them together.

its has a right permission 6-4-4 now. Everything exactly the same as you said. But nothing's changed.
I think that we should do "something" in stk.apk, that would make it appear in app drawer. Because i have a flashable zip of vega ion a870, i just extract it, copy to system/app, set right permission and reboot=> stk appear
