[GUIDE][poll-added][No-PC]How to sign an apk file & make a flashable zip without PC
Hello, Many we need to sign apk file such as :-
[highlight]1)while converting amrv7 games to amrv6.[/highlight]
[highlight]2)after changing icon/modify any apk.[/highlight]
[highlight]3)after editing systemui.apk or framewprk-res.apk[/highlight]
[size=+2]And make a flashable zip for upload on Xda !![/size]
[highlight][size=+2]But many of us don't have pc(using tapatalk or Xda app) or may be we live out (such as me) and leave pc at home!![/size][/highlight]
So we can't sign apk with apksigner, apktool# or 7zip!!
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
As we know
[highlight][size=+3]NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION.[/size][/highlight]
[size=+2]So, After some time I find a way to sign apk and make a flashable zip with our android without using pc or Mac!![/size]
''''''"""""""""'''''''"""""""""'''''''""""""""
[highlight]REQUIREMENTS:-[/highlight]
1)Root explorer (buy it on play store or u may have)
2)ZIPsigner (free)(download it from playstore)(or u can download directly by clicking here
3)any existing flashable zip (to make a flashable zip)
(u can download flashable sample zip by clicking here )[highlight][size=+1]*UPDATED(03/10/13)[/size][/highlight]

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
[highlight][size=+2]Process:-[/size][/highlight]
[A] Sign an apk !!
------------------
1) At first extract ur newxyz.apk by root explorer that exacted apk will be in speedsoftware > extracted > newxyz .
2) change/modify ur apk as u want!!
3) after editing that apk zip that whole newxyz folder!! This time ur folder will be in speedsoftware > zip/archives
4) Now from here u will need the help of ZIPsigner.
Open ZIPsigner > choose input > give address ur ziped apk folder.

}
Then go to output and give address sdcard/signedapk.apk
5) choose key/mode as
Auto-testkey
6) press sign !!

----------------------------***********------------------------
Flashable zip
-----------------
1) Download and extract the
sample.zip by root explorer.
Extracted folder (sample) will be in speedsoftware > extracted
2) Now open folder sample you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".
3) Let's start with the "system"
so open it:
In there, will go all files that what
you want to add or replace to the
system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation.
4) Make a "New Floder" in sample> system > newfolder* ,name its as "media" *(make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)
5) now simply move the file in
their respective place:
the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder
**If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now..
[size=+2]Hints[/size]
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar
/system/media - bootanimation.zip
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
6) The other folder included in the folder sample(sample) is named "META-INF". So, [highlight]You may have to Replace the update-binary[/highlight] (if ur flashable zip is not working) inside the META-INF folder with an update-binary got from a zip that works in your phone.
7) if ur work with that folder complete then zip that folder.
8) now open ZIPsigner
-choose input
-Give address to ur zip u have created
-Give address to output where the flashable zip will be saved!!
(as explained above in SIGN APK)
9) Choose auto-testkey as key.
10) press Sign !!

Link updated in guide!! u can also download zipsigner by clicking here!!
In many cases there is no need to change updater-script !! It can only edited by notepad++ or high end text editor for android 3.0+ !!
But any one add his/her signature in updater-script then that signature will appear while flashing that zip!!
So its important to don't change it if u don't want another's signature in ur zip!!
Thanks 4 ur support !!
Editing update-script is really necessary for flashing zips like pushing/replacing apps in system and you can add there an auto-mount feature. Anyway, nice guide. :cheers:

Its easy zarchiever allows us to add or remove files from a zip you can just edit a flashable zip that works on your phone to add the files you want and delete the ones you dont want. And then jst sign it using your method.

Thanks, looks cool and I may pluck up my courage to try over the weekend.
I have been wondering why the phone doesn't support transparent/translucent lockscreens. It'll be nice if there's an app that can somehow or other do that without having newbies (and scaredies) to decompile and compile the .apk!

When i get back on a stock rom, and i try to make this mod tell me if i am correct.
1. Decompile on framework-res
2. Go in Drawable-HDPI delete and copy next zzzz***
3. Go in to Drawable and edit .xml to 00000**
4. Compile with APK manager
5. Hit yes when prompted if it is a system apk
6. yes or no? when it asks if i want to copy over additional files that i didnt modify from original apk in order to insure lease # of errors?
7. i if i hit yes do i delete the two files i changed and also delete resources.arsc?
8. Do i need to sign it?
Also what should the compression be set at in apk manager? My is set at 9. heap size is 64mb.
If you could give me some feedback on this i might be able to get it working on my own, hopefully

oh ****. i never changed it to png because i thought it was just going to replace the jpg in there.. So what does changing it to png do?

Older data on howto change manually is in the spoiler below
Hi all,
This guide is split into two parts as of now , part 1 is for changing the settings menu background and part 2 is for changing the backgground for dialer and contacts.
Part -1
may be this method is known to few but im posting this to people who dont know how to change the background image of the settings menu and other few.
Sample screenshots
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Like it?
here is the method to do proceed with.
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)
2.android sdk(to use adb commands to push/pull the files)
How it works:
We are modifying/replacing an image called "background_holo_dark.png" in the "framework-res.apk" which is responsible for displaying background images in menu.
Step 1:
Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Code:
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk
Step 2:
Open the framework-res.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push the file back to mobile, type the following command in the same command prompt
Code:
adb remount
now type the following
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Part-2
Wanna change the background of the dialer and contacts?? well read below,
Step 1:
Use the adb command (or u can use root explorer) to pull the "Contacts.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Step 2:
Open the Contacts.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"Contacts.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_dial_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Drag the image (similar to the one created in part 1 of the guide) file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push/copy back the file back to mobile. Copy back the file to the same directory from where it is copied.
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Your dialer and contacts shortcut may be missing from your launcher, just drag it back to the homescreen from the app drawer.
Step:5
This step is optional!!! If you do not get those shortcuts, enter cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Note:
For users who know how to use root explorer (or other file managers) can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.
Sample images are taken with multi dpi, this mod will work with all dpi.
Instructions:
1. Download the zip from the download section below and open it in 7zip.
2. Navigate to the following directory "\mode\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\".(Sample images on post 2)
3. Change the images "background_holo_dark.png" and "background_holo_dark.png" as per your wish.
4. Flash it

works fully with cm9 and aokp roms. works partially with samsung roms where standard android framework is used.
when you say 'Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc' the phone must be connected with the PC?Im mean can't we pull it out with root explorer?

I am sorry i did not see,ok now its worked with paranoidandroid thank you its very nice!!
I have the stock rom on my device and tried it on your description to replace the background, but the black background is always shown. The background i added to the "framework-res.apk" will be not shown in the settings.
Is there another way or another kind of doing this for stock roms user?
Or should i install CM9?

Just a simple photoshop work.. I know this is really meaningless but anyway, it'll take (at least) a few weeks until we get 4.2 on our GNex, isn't it?
Download :
- Flashable zip for deodexed stock roms : download
[Include widget preview image fix]
- For other rom users : use this png files - download
(Copy appwidget_clock_*.png files to DeskClock.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/ and preview.png to /drawable-nodpi/)
- Wallpaper : download
(just more yellowish version of one of default wallpapers in 4.1 JB)

Do you think you can update the widget preview to reflect the changes you made because right now it shows a preview of the ICS clock.

Sorry, what I meant was...
1) pull your rom's DeskClock.apk from /system/app.
2) copy my png files to destination folder using 7-zip or other program.
3) then push back apk to /system/app...
Perfect! It's working, it's working!!

What we need?
1. Galaxy S3 (i tested with Android 4.1.2 XXELKC)
2. CWM (touch 6.0.1.2) dont use TWRP
3. File manager (like root explorer)
4. Wallpaper of your choice (720 x 1280) >>>> you can grab for here >>>> thanks to wiecho65 to post a wonderfull post of wallpapers!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935632
5. Download the UPD_universal_S3.zip >>> http://www.mediafire.com/?qth21jyf2adwcb1
This mode change: Dialer, Contacs, Settings, Calc and other things
How do we install it
1. Make a back up of your rom (recommended)
2. With a file explorer search for the UPD_universal_S3.zip and extracted (look in folder / SpeedSoftware / Extracted)
3. Look for the background of your choice, changed the name to tw_background_holo_dark.png, copy it >>> is important to copy the background and not move, because we will use it 2 times!
4. Move to folder / UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / drawable-nodpi
5. We search the background or image again and changed the name to background_holo_dark.png and put in the same folder> UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / drawable-nodpi
6. We see that we have two files in the / drawable-nodpi folder
7. Now, we look for the folder called UPD_Universal_S3 We let down the folder and choose: compressed as a Zip
8. Now, we changed the name of the zip, such as UPD_war_S3.zip (example)
9. Pass the .zip folder to the sd and flash via CWM
Credits to htcmania > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldLUVkgOnr4&feature=player_embedded
To put a custom image in the notification bar
Is the same procedure; the difference
1. Change the name of the image to > back.png (only one image here!!!)
2. Put the new back.png in the folder > / UPD_universal_S3 / vrtheme / system / app / SystemUI.apk / res / drawable-xhdpi
3. Is the same procedure as above
Sorry for my english!
If i help you please give thanks! :good:
Thanks for your effort , it's a great tut. But I see that this only change the settings and dialer background, not fully change icons etc. A fellow XDA member, I think it was bala gamer, already post this tut on how to change the settings and dialer background by doing the same way. Maybe you should make it complete by telling us how to change icons and others?

You have to do the same steps of the first mode, but with only one picture and change the rute of the folder.
What you do to change the notification bar?

hello friends
I have seen too many users got problem using apktool for android.
I also got problem...
But i studied the problem n just tried to fix it & guess what..??
My thinking fixed that problem
Now i want to help you all
You want to download apktool & its data files ( dont ask me for that )
Also you need a rooted phone to use rootex & apktool)
Guide 1
Now the steps:-
follow carefully......
This fix is If you get error about Mydata
1) Download apktool & data files ( i have the apktool 4.1 armel version dont know it will work for another version
2) Extract it to Sdcard/*Here*
3) Go to sdcard/Apktool & install apktool4.1.apk
4) Open it Give root access..
5) Now in aptool go to Sdcard/Apktool & select any file( tap&hold for 2 seconds) & there will be a option of "Set as apktool data folder"
6) now use rootex or similar file manager & go to system/framework/ © framework_res.apk to ur sdcard
7) Tap on framework_res.apk scroll down & select "IMPORT AS FRAMEWORK"
8) Now copy framework-res.apk to your sdcard (via rootex) tap on framework_res.apk & select 1st option decompile all ( If you get any error in decompiling then follow next step)
9) Open rootex go to data/data/per.pqy.apktool/ now delete mydata file
10) Now open rootex & go to sdcard/apktool/ & use multi select option n select all files & folders & only unselect "apktool4.1.apk" now copy all that files to "mydata" folder (make new folder anywhere in sdcard )
11) After completing step 10 then copy/move "mydata" folder to data/data/per.pqy.apktool/*Here* via rootex...
12) you have completed all steps now no more steps just open apktool n modify your Device system files or any apk/jar
