How about a more detailed explanation of the process you are taking? This will help identify areas where you may be doing something wrong.

For instance, you stated "when I try and edit it and put it back into the folder..." what does that mean?

It leaves a lot of room for interpretation, which is bad for troubleshooting and problem solving. One could interpret that to mean that you simply edited the images, put them back in the apk, and pushed it to your phone. Or, that you edited the files, put them back in the apk, made an update.zip with the correct directory structure, and applied that to your phone... You see what I am getting at?

Because, you need to edit your images, put them back in the apk (in the right place of course), re-sign the apk, create an update.zip (with the proper META-INF directory - including an update-script that tells the phone what to install into which directories), re-sign that update.zip, and apply in the normal manner (ALT-S in recovery mode).

Now, a little advice, if I am only changing files in my Launcher.apk file, I create an update.zip which only has the Launcher.apk in it (and of course the META-INF). So the structure looks like this:

Directory - Files stored in

META-INF CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF

META-INF/com/google/android update-script

system/app Launcher.apk

in this scenario my update-script will contain the following line:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Hope this helps you on your quest. I am also very new to all this, but I have successfully modified my own theme for my phone. And I change things on an almost daily basis. Now my phone looks like this:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Thanx for the reply.

What I am doing is opening the update.zip file included withautosign using 7zip at the moment. I navigate to the launcher.apk and open it in 7zip. I navigate to the folder containing the clockface and then copy that file to the desktop.

I open the file in paintshop and edited it. Typically it's size increases by a little. I save it to desktop. I then use winpng to compress it. And drag it to its original folder. 7zip promts me to save the changes.

Now I move the file to the autosign folder, use the signing tool. It is now named updatesigned.zip. I transfer it to my sdcard, rename update.zip and then apply. The application is successful, but it hangs at the first boot screen. Typically the update is around 10k.

Hope that explains it a little better.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
You skipped the part where you resigned the apk that you modified. Why not try that?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] JackD3ath:
It looks like you are trying to sign the zip, but the method that brandenk points out in the [How To] create a theme thread is much easier, especially with stericsons autosign tool. You modify files in 7zip, then accept changes with 7zip. then go to the file in explorer and right click, you should see the resign zip selection. This worked great for me, and the file wasnt renamed updatesigned.zip, so maybe try reading that thread and install the autosign tool.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Fear_Zoa:
Yea lol I have root

and im useing JFv1.42
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Install the Autosign???

It shows up as a MS Dos bat file on my computer called Sign.bat.

And I didn't know you had to individually sign every .apk, I was under the impression that was the whole point in moving the updated file to the autosign folder.

Furthermore, I did ask If we could just do one file/apk in another thread but was told no. It would be so much nicer if for instance, I just wanted to change the clock face, If I could extract just the clock face from the theme file and change it. Do the update and just overwrite that file.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] JackD3ath:
Yeah, install the autosign tool.

If you go to this thread you will find...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2

You should see an exe file that will help you setup the autosign tool.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Ok I have that.

Now as I close each apk i am working on, currently 1 (Launcher.apk) I am resigning the apk, and then as I back out I am resigning the update.zip.

As I reinstall, the update stops at Wrong digest blah blah Launcher.apk, so apparently I am not doing it right or I am still missing a step.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
It appears that Fear and I are at the same point.

Verifying update package...

E: Wrong digest:

system/app/Launcher.apk

E: Verification Failed

Installation aborted.

No matter how I try to sign it, I end up here
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Ok, I think I have it figured out.

The Problem I was running into was that I didn't have the environment variables set up properly. Because of this, the command.exe box was popping open, but nothing was happening. I backed up and removed the PATH from my environment variables and let stericson's tool do what I was told to do on another post.

I have successfully edited my first theme with the Launcher.apk and now am running the Big Headed Android from Bluestar5 on the BUFF theme.

Thank you so much for your combined help.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] JackD3ath:
I figured that was the problem, but as u see it has to figured out by you. lol

i had the same issue, but thorough reading through the forums led me to the correct solution.

I am glad u finally got it figured out.

This saddens and excites me. I want it, but I just paid for my TP original. Bigger screen looks awesome! Here's the article I first found this info on:

HTC's Touch Diamond, and its QWERTY'd doppelganger the Touch Pro, have formally passed into their second generation:

[Touch Pro CDMA] steb0ne:
From here: http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6872

Remember the HTC 2009 Roadmap leak back in January? Sure you do - it was a pretty big deal here in Windows Mobile land.

So, in what we've seen so far from MWC, was the leak right? Were the Touch Pro2 and Diamond2 on the roadmap? Yes, they were, and we can get a pretty good indication of what carrier is getting what through this roadmap.

The Diamond2 was the Topaz, and according to the leaked roadmap, AT&T will be getting this device, probably in time for holiday time 2009.

The Touch Pro2 is the Rhodium (or, a slight variation of it since it doesn't have a red keyboard). The Rhodium is going to Verizon, says the roadmap, though a variation of the Rhodium (perhaps without a tilting screen) called the Tungsten

, may be headed to Sprint and T-Mobile. Oh yes, and not picture here, the Saphire turned out to be the HTC Magic Android-based device.
[Touch Pro CDMA] EvilDeadFan:
Well isn't that just f'n dandy? They can't even realease proper working GPS without severe lag or improper tracking, of FM for that matter, but no less than 3 months after the release of the TP, which I also bought, they release the next big thing. Real smooth, HTC. I'm thinking this is my definite last HTC device.

They can now count me in as a very unhappy customer.
[Touch Pro CDMA] MrTek:
So far as I see the TP and TP2 are very similar:

Pluses Touch Pro:

+Dpad

-VGA Resolution

- VZW memory limited

Touch Pro 2:

+WVGA Screen

+Better Speakerphone (?)

+Zoom Slider (?)

-No Dpad

+Tilt Keyboard

Sooo...other than these, are all the changes software which we will see anyway?

PS - I just picked up Touch Pro today because I really do like the Dpad...
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyfunk:
You seem surprised. Do you not know that the time between generations is less than 6 months? Do you not understand anything about the shelf life of a computer?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Dan76:
The larger screen did it for me.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Compusmurf:
Funny, just a few short years ago, everyone wanted smaller phones. Now Bigger is better.

Just the opposite for laptops. Look at the massive sales of Netbooks over Laptops. Smaller is definitely "in" now there. :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
Not impressed

After i was done drooling over the new look of the the touch pro 2, i read the specs sheet and my burning desire to have it was put out. It does look really nice but i think that HTC could have done SOOO much better with it. The first thing i didnt understand was why they downgraded the camera. The kept it the same resolution but removed the flash!. I dont see why they couldnt up the tp2's camera to 5mp considering the fact the the diamond 2 and HD have5mp shooters. I know that the camera isnt evewrything in a phone but when a phone costs nearly 1000 unlocked, it should at least be passable. ANother thing was the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. The HD, which has been out for a while, is practically the same phone (-the keyboard) and has one. Hasnt HTC learned from the many letters that users want a standard headphone jack? I myself hate dealing with connectors. I also dont like how HTC only modified some of the phone programs. The file explorer is still as finger hating as ever and the only thing that saved me on my tp was the d-pad. HTC shouldve done something because when paying that much 4 a phone, one does not want to shell out another $30 for a finger friendly file explorer. Well that was my rant:D. Tp2 looks nice but isnt much better then the tp1 (besides screen size and tilt).
[Touch Pro CDMA] itsAUG:
yea when i first seen the release of these two devices i was real pumped for them to actually come out. But.... after reading the specs on the TP2 the only major changes were the screen and tilt function. It still has same processor and memory so i can't see it be lightning fast without rom custimization. So for now I'm just going to stick with the fuze or maybe wait for att to release the diamond 2.

Additionally, if there is such a ROM, if someone yould perhaps link me to the location, and provide instructions (maybe a link for this too) to apply said ROM.

Thanks in Advance,

[G1 Android Development] wimbet:
I'm trying to figure out how the android browser handles click and drag actions with jquery.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/sort.html

The site works with a mouse but not with your finger in Android.

I want the same effect inside the android browser.

I searched these forums, but did not see anything. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[G1 Android Development] footboydog:
That sortables demo does not work on my iPod touch either.

I wanted to see if something like this was possible in the android browser:

http://www.sitepen.com/blog/2008/07/10/touching-and-gesturing-on-the-iphone/

If you go to the demo site http://tinyurl.com/sp-iphone in your desktop browser it doesn't work but on the iPhone/iPod touch it does. This is because the iPhone Safari browser can handle the special touchstart, touchmove, touchend JavaScript events. The Android browser doesn't handle these.

I wonder if it would be possible to modify the Android browser to handle them?
[G1 Android Development] wimbet:
Yah I've been browsing a couple jquery groups and it looks like they got this about working on the iPhone. I found how to move items using click-to-click but that is not what I'm going for.

I'll post here again if I get a response to anything.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
I think I read somewhere that some of the custom roms have removed the second splash screen but that it does not increase the "boot up" speed of the rom. Is that true? Do all the custom roms boot up at the same speed or are there roms that boot to a ready state faster than others?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fone_fanatic:
I would say there is a difference in boot speed in the custom roms, definately if you compare them to the shipped roms its a noticable difference!

Right now i have the HyperDragon IV (feb 4th) rom installed and its the fastest booting rom i've ever used!

Also keep in mind that today screen items and startup programs/services will affect the time of the device to be ready for input.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
I am back with DK.8 for now and it seems the same speed as booting up with the AT&T roM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] behrouz:
How do I get rid of it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rvjacobs:
simple

Hai,

The extra icon is your outlook email box (outlook form your computer).

The extra icon for email is created by activesync or windows mobile device center. It is there because in the setting of your synchronisation programm you checked the box of synchronizing your email too. But if you don't use email syncronization you must uncheck it in activesync or WMDC settings. Then it will disappear. you can also unceck it in the settings of activesync on your windows mobile device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] behrouz:

try deaching google for it

[HTC Excalibur] jorossian:
Does anyone here do their personal online banking via HSBC?

If so you probably have the same problem I do. They have a 2 password logon system that requires a typed password AND a password entered via a virtual keyboard that you need to enter with your mouse-pointer. I think it's a flash based keyboard. I've tried Opera and IE Mobile with flash-lite as well as the hacked "full" macromedia/adobe flash installed with SPhelper as the mouse emulator. So far no luck.

Is there a way around the problem?
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
Skyfire may be a possibility. I am reserved about doing anything with skyfire because of the security implications.
[HTC Excalibur] jorossian:
I just checked that out and it does look like it would work, however after reading the user agreement I don't think it would be wise to use Skyfire for anything remotely sensitive. I don't think I even want to log into my yahoo email with it considering they're monitoring and archiving everything you do through their server. It's a shame cuz it's really a great UI and it's very fast. Of course that's because it's not really "the web" - it's sort of like a live stream of the web from their server. It sort of feels like using remote desktop and controlling another computer's mouse pointer.

Great way to browse full page websites quickly though. (But banking appear's to be out of the question unless you're account has around 20 bucks or less in it :D)

[XPERIA X1 General] markgencorelli:
Hi X1-ers,

After looking at the HTC Touch HD, the lack of a U.S. 3G internet connection has swayed me towards the X1.

I had a quick question. I'm looking to purchase this on www.clove.co.uk but I can't tell whether it's a X1a or X1i they're selling.

I'm looking at this one in particular:

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=AEE666D8-F441-4CE9-B69E-1539D4E16EBA

Under Networks it says:

GSM (QUAD-BAND) 850, 900, 800, 1900

EDGE

HSDPA

HSUPA

UMTS 900, UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, UMTS 2100

But under Connectivity it says:

Bluetooth (A2DP)

WiFi

Any help clarifying this would be awesome, thanks!

P.S. On a side note, there are numerous threads as to whether the inability of the 3G connection speeds on the Touch HD is a software or hardware issue. Safe to say, regardless of whether it's software or hardware problem, this current version of Touch HD will never see 3G connection on U.S. soil, correct?
[XPERIA X1 General] ianl8888:
I purchased one from Clove on the basis of UMTS 850Mhz capability. I even emailed and phoned them on precisely this issue before purchase and was assured it was true.

It is NOT. The device they are selling is an X1i, and not capable of UMTS 850Mhz connection. BTW, for those on the forum who maintain that this doesn't matter to them (mostly EU denizens), Canada, US, South Americas, Australia and South Africa all use the 850Mhz frequency for 3G in regional areas.

It is a hardware issue - the X1i uses a Qualcomm MSM7200 cpu, the X1a uses an MSM7201A (850Mhz enabled)

Negri Electronics is now offering on back order (ie. no stock) a black X1a with quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS:

http://www.negrielectronics.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-usa3g-unlocked-black-p-1812.html

Why HTC has decided to offer either 850/1900 Mhz or 900/2100Mhz, but not 850/2100Mhz, is a very irritating mystery (look at the specs on the new slew of devices)
[XPERIA X1 General] markgencorelli:
Wow, ianl8888, thanks for the heads-up!

I was about to just purchase it without running it by this forum, assuming it was X1a. Good thing I didn't make such an idiotic mistake :o
[XPERIA X1 General] markgencorelli:
My gawd, this thing is a near $300 dollars more expensive than the X1i :eek:

Right when I came to grips that the HTC Touch HD would not be my phone and X1 was the right choice.....a huge price difference gets in the way.

:(

Frustrating.
[XPERIA X1 General] ianl8888:
Well, we're paying the royalties from Qualcomm to Broadcom for the 850Mhz capability in the MSM7001A chips :D

BTW, I wasn't "idiotic" - I phoned and emailed Clove on exactly this point prior to purchase, since I trusted no-one on this. Yes, refund was quick.
[XPERIA X1 General] theclueless:
you can pick one up from dell.com (yes, yes, i know, but they have it :rolleyes:)

they are on "sale" now, still 700+

or you can always pick one up from sonystyle, or if you are in NYC, you can get it from jr.com
[XPERIA X1 General] THESpideyWVU:
There isn't a black X1a I believe...
[XPERIA X1 General] markgencorelli:
I hope you don't think I was implying you were "idiotic".

I'm the only dunce here - I shouldn't assume anything when it involves such a big purchase, and that's what I was about to do before I had a brief moment of sanity. :D

Hmmm...the dell price is a little more tempting. But at $722, I might just bite the bullet and get an HTC Touch HD at $100 cheaper.

This sucks. Oh well...
[XPERIA X1 General] theclueless:
but 3g is more tempting lol
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
IMHO, you are going to be constantly frustrated by the Touch HD's inability to grab UMTS and HSDPA in the NAM.

With the recent expansions of the AT&T 3G system, I am no longer sure that it makes sense to have a non-NAM 3G phone, especially since the expansion of 850 MHz 3G has frequently meant the contraction of conventional GSM service.
[XPERIA X1 General] williamn:
Wait for Dell to have one of it's 20% off E&A coupons. Monitor the forums or vendor pages at www.fatwallet.com.
[XPERIA X1 General] theclueless:
i wish theres a black x1a too, i would get it over the silver version anytime... ironically i always wanted a silver psp and ps3, but when i got the psp, they only offer black version :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] markgencorelli:
If I could get the Xperia X1a at 580 which is the price after the current "ON SALE" price and 20% tacked on to it, I'd jump all over that. But I doubt that'll happen, probably end up being one or the other in terms of savings.

Does anyone have any suggestions on any phones I may have missed that are comparable to the Xperia X1a (other than the Touch Pro) or HTC Touch HD?

I love both phones but lukewarm about the lack of 3G on the HD and pricetag of the Xperia. :o

[General Topics] mannyb:
As far as I know cupcake will never be released, not the way most people think at least. It's a development branch, a fork of the regular Android build, which will release new modules one at a time, as they get ready. I'd wager that the RC33/ADP1.1 Holiday releases already have "cupcake parts" in them. But seeing as the G2/Magic lacks a real keyboard, we can count on one thing at least; it will have the fabled cupcake on-screen keyboard.
