Heres a response pr mail about files not being found in list:

I'm on JB AOKP and not in tablet mode. I actually figured out a way to get them to work. I found the pkg.apk in data/data/ and copied it to my SD card and ran it, reinstalling the themes. They showed up then. They just don't show up directly from the Play Store.

I've just read something about if copy protection is turned on then the apk won't show on rooted device or if installed to sdcard ? I've changed to a sense Rom and my apps are working now !! I will go back to my other Rom and test again tomoz. May just have been a glitch with playstore though as they worked earlier !!

I've never known apks to store in data/data !! Could this be a typo? I'm not familiar with other phones but data/app or system/app for me.

Having the same issues as everyone else. I published 4 skins last night and got emails saying that they installed but could not find them. I deleted what I had installed and tried installing from the Market and it said installation was successful but I couldnt find them in my list.

Unpublished until I can figure whats going on or if its something I did wrong with the apk's.
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Restored all the skins, finally. Vin told me about the skintype flag. Edited that in all the zipped .uccw files and I was able to open them in editor. *Sigh of relief*

Thanks a lot, Vin.

Not entirely correct. I have that turned off. Still, users are reporting as 'nothing shows up in list'. I'm also suspecting what Vin mentioned earlier - "ask them whether they can see Go Launcher themes". This is basically issue with Play Store trying to copy protect / encrypt downloaded files, specially anything to do with themes and widgets, in Jelly Bean. Not the app's problem, per se.
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Can someone go try to install a couple of my skins. I changed a few things and tried installing them and they showed up. Published all new versions.

Issue - skins not appearing for some users

This issue affects only those users who download paid skins from Google play. This issue is not limited to UCCW. All third party themes and similar paid apps like Beautiful widgets, Go launcher etc are affected.

Cause: New encryption feature introduced in Jelly Bean. And Google play using ths feature while installing skins. So its a Google play issue.

Workarounds:

One thing you can do is to

block JellyBean

devices for your skins.

Paste <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="15" /> in your AndroidManifest.xml file below <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /> and provide an update for your skin. See first post on how to update your skins.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Could users, when new uodate is ready: uninstall instead of update, and install..?
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Hey Vin, You essentially spilled the beans on how to pirate android apps. That too, without paying a penny. :eek:

When a new update is available, users will have to do the same dance again. :(
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Doesnt have to be used for piracy...And most apps can be backed up with App Backup & Restore anyway. No root needed.

Weather Icons

So, the weather icons are in the.zip, they're in Eclipse, but after exporting and installing the weather icons don't show up. Is there a fix for this? Sorry if this has been gone over but I only saw the one post about the icons not being exported but that works fine for me.

Also, I am wondering what you are doing different than me so that all your skins are showing up or seem to be. I don't think mine are showing up at all? I made changes to all of them to block JellyBean but still getting messages that none of my skins show up.

[Android Apps and Games] pooley:):
Hey Vineet how you doin ?!

Was wondering, people downloading ours skins apk aren't able to change clock format, or hotspots or gmail account right ? they can only change what's on "settings" part right ?

For the clock format : idea could be to put uccw 12h/24h format (in the assets folder) and, let's say if the user check the "use english" option the clock format change, or add a format option.

Well just a thought :) Sure you will find out those points :)

For the Hotspots change : same idea here, in settings put an hotspots section and since hotspots are named (1, 2, 3, ...) you can edit shortcut's list .. .
[Android Apps and Games] crazygooyu:

[Android Apps and Games] pooley:):
Well what I think is :

folder + uccw file = zip (for apk) = uzip (for xda-er's)... Think you can make a zip out of a uzip and uzip out of a zip :)
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
When you 'export for apk zip' the skintype flag in .uccw file gets set to 1; you make an apk from it and install it, uccw reads the skintype flags and knows not to edit it. That's my understanding. Need to compare normal .uccw and apk exported .uccw to see if that's the only difference.

And to answer your question on the other thread, (errr... uccw skin 1 or 2 thread), yes, I think only renaming the app should work for side-stepping google word trademark issue. I didn't even have to change the package name. My apps package name is still vic.icons.ProjectGlass. I only changed the app name.
[Android Apps and Games] pooley:):
Oh yeah you're right there's also the last line (s_n_r: true / false or something like that).

@all : Anyone else experiencing a publishing apk issue on Play Store (it says at least 2 screenshots but there are 5 screenshots... serveur messed up ?).

EDIT : ok, it works again :)

[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Just went and installed you "Cyanomix" and it installed and shows up in my list. Got me thinking. Did you change the name of your apk at all or did you just leave it exactly like it was when you exported from uccw?

I'm pretty sure I renamed all my skin apk's and wondering if that has caused my issues with none of my skins showing up for others?
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
thanks for the download :)

the final apk is named as your working folder project i.e uccwnotepad so i rename that folder before building the apk etc.

so i leave it the same for uploading to playstore.

however if your not uploading it to playstore and just installing via filemanager on phone then i think you can rename it whatever you like.

"My phone is possessed"
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Dang, everytime I try to rename uccw_notepad folder I get all kinds of errors. Does the apk have to be named the same as the folder that was imported?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pooley:):
Usually when I create apk I just:

- copy the uccw_notepad (unzipped) in my workspace, rename it,

- erase/copy/paste my files from my zip (unzipped) phone to the assets folder,

- edit manifest and strings XML (via notepad or eclipse.

- edit res in photoshop (opened from folder res and just save),

- in eclipse, create new project, select my freshly created folder,

- right click on folder (in package explorer window) export,

- done.

[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Does that mean that we cant rename the apk after exporting it after a different name?

(I dont mean editing package name, just apk file name)
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
i think (but not positive) that once youve made your apk for the store upload,it needs to keep the same name as when created to upload to store etc.

i can confirm for sure that if your just sharing the eclipse apk version or have a store downloaded version you can rename these apks as you please.

"My phone is possessed"
[Android Apps and Games] vineetksirohi:
I checked your file. You seem to have forgotten to check 'For Google play apk' while exporting skin.

Read the first post carefully and don not miss a step. At the same time do not do anything that is not mentioned there.
[Android Apps and Games] vineetksirohi:
Send me your eclipse project.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Is that right Vineet?
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Errr. ... no, that's not correct. You can name your app anything you want. Two rules apply to your apk in play store-

The package name must remain same

The versionCode must be higher than the last one. (for uploading next time on play store, as update)

Both of these values are present in AndroidManifest.xml and your "app_name" is in strings.xml which you can change anytime you want.

Try these -

Go to Android developer console > Your app's page > APK files tab.

Try to upload the same app, built with a different package name. It'll throw an error that package name doesn't match.

Try to upload the same app, built with the same package name as original, but different app name. It'll accept it.

Try to upload a totally different app, built with the same package name. It'll show a message that this app already exists in your dashboard; would you like to update that app instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
okay so i wasnt totally incorrect!! just didnt maybe explain the best.

i always rename apks etc that ive downloaded and backed up i.e data/apps named com.blah blah etc get renamed and backed up to my sdcard and still install when needed again.

thanks for clearing up the "but not possitive" part of my post as i thought renaming the apk after export would cause conflict in play upload if it didnt match package and strings app name but obviously not then.

yes im aware of the other naming issues and conflicts regarding play upload.

Question guys and gals,

I have been trying all weekend to figure out why everyone or most everyone downloading my skins from the market say they install fine but go not show up in uccw skins list.

I had a couple of people testing them as I was updating and have had several say that when downloaded from the store they are getting installed in /data/app-asec/

Is it possible that I am doing something to cause that?
[Android Apps and Games] NachoB:
Haven't messed with apk yet, but I'm assuming from what I've read that they won't show up in the skin list. They'll only see them in the widget list when adding a widget to a home page.

Question here to decrease apk weight :

I do some set of skin (several skins in 1 apk) lately I made minimalist weather (Black / white and 12 / 24 format).

So I have 4 skins (folder+uccw file) in 1 apk...

I was thinking, "hey wait a minute, you have 4 skins, so 4 same fonts files, 4 same weather icon folder, 2 same backgrounds files (white and black).

Can I just let weather folder, font file (common files) in one folder and edit uccw of 3 others to point to this common files. Just by chagning path in uccw files...

Hope you got my point.

thanks for the information :)

EDIT : ok I've edited all 3 uccw files. can you try this apk and tell me if all are dispayed good (images, font etc are ok) ?

After reading several posts on mac spoofing and having failed to find a working thread.I decided to fill in the gaps with my linux knowledge (however little of that I may have).

So this method seems to solve some issues I've seen (MAC not changing because device wasn't downed) in these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385577

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902354

without editing the nvram.txt

I've tested the ip link method on my recently rooted Samsung Tab 2 7.0"

Changing your mac address:

Prerequisites:

*A rooted device

*Busybox

*Terminal emulator

*Turn wifi on from your device's menu, do not connect to any network.

*Open your terminal emulator, now type:

$su

#ip link

*This should list all networking interfaces, identify your wifi device, take note of the name. now:

#ip link set NAME down

#ip link set NAME address 00:11:22:33:44:55

#ip link set NAME up

I believe that when using ifconfig the procedure is as follows:

$su

#ifconfig

*Take note of the device name

#ifconfig NAME down

#ifconfig NAME hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

#ifconfig NAME up

After doing the above you can connect to the desired network normally, using the default / other user interfaces.

NOTE: The mac address will be reset when WIFI is switched off.

I have confirmed the ip link method to be working. i.e. transmitted mac address is the new / changed one!
[Networking] pawci0:
Actually in my case (SGS) i had to restart wifi first and then (while it's starting) quickly change the MAC using:

busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

Important: It must be done about 500ms

after

enabling wifi, otherwise it won't work.

If I change MAC when wifi is off it simply returns to the original during next start.

Worked on i9000 with CM9 / 10
[Networking] infinitum_omega:
So downing the interface before changing and uping afterwards doesn't work?

Script to apply random mac

I've made a script to create a random ghost mac every time I run it on the terminal emulator with su.

macaddr="52:54:$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2>/dev/null | md5sum | sed 's/^\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\).*$/\1:\2:\3:\4/')"

ip link set wlan0 down
ip link set wlan0 address $macaddr
ip link set wlan0 up

I've named it as gmac.sh and saved it on /sdcard/, thus by running:

$ su
# sh /sdcard/gmac.sh

the mac is changed.

[Networking] damien.courousse:
Works differently on HTC Desire

Hello,

This is just to "set in stone" somewhere in the Internet that on some devices, you need *not* to down and up the network interface. Otherwise, the network driver will restore its MAC address from hardware/driver settings.

On a HTC Desire, MAC spoofing works this way:

* turn on the wifi interface using the standard Android interface

* run this script :

macaddr="52:54:$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2>/dev/null | md5sum | sed 's/^\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\).*$/\1:\2:\3:\4/')"

ip link set wlan0 address $macaddr

Best regards,
[Networking] damien.courousse:
On some devices (e.g. HTC Desire among others), the wifi GUI still resets the mac address even with the method described in this thread.

worstenbrood has modified the wifi driver so that the mac address can be configured from a text file. It is described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525230

This is compatible with the wifi GUI and solves the problem of the wifi interface reloading its original mac address.

Anyone interested, I have backported his modifications to the latest state of the kernel developement in CM7.

thanks!
