I have been breaking my head on this one for a while, so hopefully someone can give me some pointers...

I'm having troubles re-signing a stock ROM with testkeys.

When I re-sign ALL apk files (in app and the one in framework) with test-keys I get the error : "ERROR/Sync(125): Google login service not found." at boot. :mad: :confused: :confused:

When I don't sign anything the ROM boots fine...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maxisma:
You don't need to resign the APK's.

The full update.zip should be enough =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cheesebaron:
Though it is still quite a mystery why the Google Login won't work when signed with a test-key.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Amon_RA:
That is correct, the ROM works fine when I sign the full update.zip :)

I just would like to know why this it is giving problems when you resign everything... I would be nice to know the exact reason behind this issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] atomtom:
Is there any advantage to signing all the apks, or is this just an academic exercise? I tried (and obviously failed) when messing with the T-Mobile stock ROM but like you said it works fine without.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kb7sqi:
Amon_RA did you ever find away to get this to work? I'm asking because I've tried re-signing all the apk's in /system/app & /system/framework on my Rogers build so I could include irrenhaus' Advanced Launcher v17 as a HTCLauncher replacement. If it's flashed as an "update" after the the rom is setup, running, etc. It works fine. But as soon as you wipe, you start getting boot loops. When you resign every apk, it'll flash in the build fine, but you can't access the market or sign into google. It's not only me, but Soulife & Enomther have spent quite a bit of time looking into this also. So, before someone say's just throw it into the /system/app directory & re-sign the update.zip, you can't it because it won't work properly. :confused: Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] strazzere:
Some of the google apps have a "Signature" that is checks against itself to see if it's been modified - you'd need toedit that to make them work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Zarboz:
its because it needs a release keys signature to login not test keys ;-)

idk where i read it but i do believe it originated it in a thread by stericson having to do with theming android and why test keys wont sign some apps or files for them to work they need to be signed with a release keys version like the actual Google signature not their open source signature they give us to sign apk's etc
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nbetcher:
Hello everyone - I do development on the myTouch Slide, but I have a question related to this post: how do we re-sign the HTC resources file (com.htc.resources.apk) with test keys? I've essentially decompiled it and built it back (using apktool), then signed the resulting APK with signapk.jar using the test keys, but when Android is being loaded it's unable to find the 'Resources'. (I haven't even arrived at this so-called 'Google Login' error - the GUI won't even load due to an error in HTCLockScreen not finding the resources).

The reason this all came about is because I'm looking for an easy way to edit the file and perform any changes I want to it. The 7-zip method is hackish and is specific to Windows - I am looking for a way where I can go as far as to edit the XML files in the package, but the 7-zip method doesn't work for that (because the XML files are compiled).

Any ideas? Can people link posts related to this? Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, some people are probably going to point out that I can hex edit the file through 7zip, but I would rather not do that, especially since I do not run Windows for my Android development.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nbetcher:
I've actually discovered that the reason 7zip works is because it technically doesn't follow zip format specifications. Once you edit a file from within 7zip and save the changes 7zip doesn't calculate the CRC of the new (updated) file. Android proceeds to load the APK because the CRC hashes in the zip file are still "correct", but really they're not.

While this doesn't answer my original question, it does provide a possibility of extending other (non-Windows) utilities with the sole intended function of hacking APKs.

EDIT: I'm not entirely sure this is correct information as I'm still trying to sort through the different actions that various programs (Android included) take on an APK, plus I can't find a specification of an APK file (other than people simply saying its "similar to a zip").
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Asadullah:
I been looking at this as well and hopefully can help. First look at my signature for a release key maker for those that wanna know. okay so this is just all theory but I been looking to resign all apks with the same signature my signature. Reason being is I'm helping to port froyo sense to sprint hero and there's alot of smali editing and resigning of apks. I have noticed while doing this that some proprietary apks have this in there android manifest xml "androidprotection:signature". I'm not a genious but i'm guessing that is what checks the signature or rathere requires it.

I also noticed that there is a keystore file in /system/bin (at least in sense roms ).

That might be where the signature is kept. But I'm thinking that if you disable the requirement for a signature in the android manifest you might be able to resign the apks I haven't tried this yet since I'm sure someone has some feedback annd it's 348 in the morning i'm going to bed :D

Hello again

I am currently looking for a UK based sat nav programme for my Touch Pro.

Seems to be a few Nav N Go,Tom Tom and Copilot

Does anyone have a recommendation and will it utilise the touch screen

Thanks in advance

:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Welcome :confused:

Not sure 'bout UK nav, but iGo works great in the US.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theoneeye:
Thanks for that I will check it for a uk version

:)

Garmin XT..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
I'm pretty boring. I have tomtom for in-car satnav and google maps for if i get lost walking round a city.

Both are free (whoo!) but remember google will require a data connection to download maps (free) as you go and tomtom requires you to buy the maps (i believe you can get a free city map when you sign up on their site)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theoneeye:
Cool Cheers

I will have a look on the old Fleabay
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mahender:
alright mate,

i have co pilot and it rocks dude.

i use it with an external gps, but i have also tried my google maps with internal gps and that was fairly accurate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] a_ross84:
I have copilot also. works great. I got it off amazon.co.uk for about £60. not cheap but very good. Loads of different voice, POIs etc if thats what you want.

I even use it on my motor bike and the buttons are big enough even if you have gloves on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Limlin:
Garmin is good. And they have UK nav. Or you can try co-pilot. My friend Nina was using that and she said it worked great. Also she found some other GPS on internet like zorro. They must have UK based nav.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
i've seen many GPS tests on WM platform, and i think that iGo Amigo is the best app available, with Navigon following shortly behind....

iGo Amigo

-- Signpost info

-- Lane info

-- Terrain

I have a problem: when I switch on bluetooth, BT tray icon doesn't appear.

I didn't do anything with my phone when it has happened.

Please help me, what can I do so that BT tary icon works again.

Sorry for my english...

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Aqrab:
did you disable the htc dialer ?

if yes turn it back on and the bluetooth icon will be back
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aquinoq:
Hi, thanks! Previously I installed Iconsoft PhonEx trial - which swap the dialer... When I uninstall, the BT icon come back.

But what is the relation??? I must decide to use another dialer or BT? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Aqrab:
if you disable the htc dialer the BT icon will be disable because its withen the htc dialer

but there is a fix for this :o

there is a small program that do the same job , its show you the BT icon when you enable it, so you dont need the HTC dialer if you jast want the BT icon

here you go
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aquinoq:
Thx, Aqrab, I'll try it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
My hero arrived today, and I'm very impressed.

However the HTC sync software doesn't want to work on my pc, (xp sp3). I get the error "unable to create device manager instance" when it starts up, and it won't connect to my hero.

Any ideas?

Also, does anyone have the EC E100 Wired Remote Control? I want to use my own headphones, and was wondering if this remote was any good?

Hi guys,

i am so annoyed of my TP2 staying on 91% RAM usage after some hours of use ans having used several programms.

Is there any good programm that will clear my RAM while running in background?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
I use this.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ImmortalShadow:
Heyo, thanks for the fast reply :)

I tried it out, and i have to say it works pretty well.

But i'd really be happy if there would be such a programm that runs in the background all the time and clears up my RAM whenever i end programms like skype or so...

Is there any such programm?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
Yeah man no problem. I'm not aware of anything that constantly runs in the background. I used to use this program all the time on my old wing, so I'm used to running it several times a day. If anyone knows of anything out there, I'd love to know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Noppe:
Try HTC Addicts cleanRAM, you can set it to clean every so much hours.

I'm not sure wether this is the newest version...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ImmortalShadow:
Really thanks a lot! This app cleans my RAM down to 60% usage every 3 hours now! That's the best result i had ever!

Even after a Soft Reset i have about 51%, so everyone looking for a good cleaner, take this one :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Weed1:
Wow i just used htc addicts clean ram and it took me from 57% used to 48% I did the level 3 cleaning.

Is it possible for someone to explain why it is that your phone slowly fills up the ram with normal usage and you have to do this?

Also after a soft reset it uses like 54% how did it get it down to 48%?

Thanks

Looks like you can't use s2u2 doesn't work with it, but I've grown tired of it anyway.

Holy I hope someone here can help me. I did have a backup but I can't find the &^%$ thing. I was using a common system parameter kind of switching app that I can't remember the name.

basically it included the ability to switch ringer modes (vib+ring, ring, vib only, silent) etc, you could single click wifi, bt etc all on or off, GPS, it also included the white screen 'flashlight' lol, all I can remember was it was a green dot looking icon and I thought it was called something with *button* in the name.

Does anyone have a clue wtf I'm talking about and if you do, can you please tell me the name??!!

Thanks :D

this is my first post in this site and i really appreciate for the type of work is being done in this site, its very helpful even i have also upgraded my p3400i from wm6.0 to wm6.1 its quit good but i have three problems

this is after upgrading..

1. I am not able to run audio manager with power off lcd i have tried the solution posted in this site but nothing happend the problem is still there

2. when i press the camera button the screen shows flashing numbers on it and i have tried the solution for this too but no results

This is before upgrading..

1. My phone's audio lows down automatically everytime i have to restart my device to get it in normal condition

I hope for positive response..

you can also inform me at my email address that is yogeshtalk@gmail.com :)
[P3400 General] Addicted2xda:
If you press suspend your device, Audio Player is not supposed to work (unless connected to a headphone).

Please be specific about the following:

1. What ROM are you using? Is it a custom ROM or an official ROM from HTC?

Hope it helps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] megaoptimus:
Since there appears to be such conflicting reports about lag or lack there of; I think it would benefit us all if we start to list who is having lag and who isn't whilst including where you bought the phone etc....

so to those that are having lag, give us these details:

1.) where and when did you get the phone, including the color

2.) branded or unbranded

3.) look under the battery or where ever for serial numbers or manufacturing dates

4.) report what firmware (if possible) and what the "about android" says in the OS

5.) what you are perceiving to be slow and when it occurs

If you would like some other examples of "slowness" check out the comments here: http://www.pda-247.com/wordpress/2009/08/htc-hero-review-part-two/

Note that after some discussion, all parties involved are equally confused and can't understand the opposing experiences of the other. I would also like to see reports from those that haven't experienced any lag or nothing like what some of the laggers are experiencing. I think we are experiencing some manufacturing differences here that have yet to be documented or made certain. I suspect this is all due to sense UI but who knows for certain. Is it possible to have the G1 Hero rom installed on a stock hero? Perhaps the Hero rom that is mentioned the in the hero dev forum would help? In any event, we should really start compiling specifics in a single thread as nobody likes buyers remorse :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sawkes:
Not geographical. Its about the way you use your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] megaoptimus:
Fine. But it shouldn't be. If the phone is "just suppose to work" then there apparently still needs to be some optimization to account for the apparent excesses of others. I'm SURE it's JUST about what these people are doing...come on man, there has to be something else going on even if it is simply due to sense UI needing some optimization tweaks. You can't just toss away the experiences of many different folks (reviewers included) with the implication that the phone is not at all at fault for the negative reports.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I agree, I think there are variables we aren't considering. I think it comes down to the use of widgets and the amount of screens you have running, though I'm not totally sure.

I personally have not experienced any lag. I have a white sim free Hero, I use 3 screens, one with wifi, bluetooth, mobile data and gps widgets, a weather widget and a few icons. Another page has all icons, and the third has the bookmarks widget. I used to have the contacts widget on the second page and noticed no lag when using that either.

Once I tried to start up as many apps as I could to see if I experienced the lagginess people were talking about.... with no result. Still very slick.

What I don't have is a clock widget. I personally think it's useless when you have the time in the taskbar. I don't use a twitter widget either, but Peep seems to start itself sometimes.

That leads me to something else, I have apps which start themselves up spontaneously. Peep, Glympse, calendar for example.... they all show up in the task list (Taskiller) when I haven't used them. I've switched off any auto updates/ stay logged out etc. So that's a bit weird. That's part of the reason I'll use Taskiller maybe 4 or 5 times a day to kill everything running.

All in all I'm very happy and impressed with the useability of this device.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] megaoptimus:
Makes no damn sense to me and it's posts like this that make me think it isn't the software afterall....geez. I guess I'll just have to order one some time soon and cross my fingers that it really isn't hardware related.
[G1 Apps and Games] velazcod:
yesterday i was thinking that a year ago, the iPhone updated its operating system to support this, then I started checking that it was just a system setting on android, its just that there was no interface to change it... I couldn't believe that nobody has done it before.

I wrote it this morning and I just made it available in the market for free.

Would it be possible to add an option to turn WiFi on while the airplane mode is enabled? :) That would be great because then one could avoid turning airplane mode off and on again for just enabling WiFi.
[G1 Apps and Games] corp769:
Very good idea. Do you have the source available? Once you get an alpha version, let us devs knows so we can incorporate this into the roms. The perfect operating system is coming soon :D
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
fantastic app- saw it last night- downloaded...used heaps already. I had thought of this app but being a total dunce at programming i waited for someone else to do it- funnily enough 2 days ago i was just about to post on here asking if anyone knew of an app that did this!!

thanks heaps- will buy another app to support.... musicsleep i reckon- good for getting kids to sleep :D
[G1 Apps and Games] velazcod:
I could probably add a shortcut to the wifi configuration settings. You can't do this from the phone settings directly since it gets disabled. HOWEVER, if you add an AnyCut (or BetterCut) shortcut to Wifi Settings directly, they will work fine and you will be able to turn on/off and configure wifi while in airplane mode.
[G1 Apps and Games] velazcod:
It's EXTREMELY easy to enable this, I think the only "problems" you might run into will be changing the android settings so it doesn't disable the checkboxes for wireless when airplane mode is activated but I will provide the source code later on today when I get home, let me upload it to github and let's figure a way to enable this on the system to be used in a rom.
[G1 Apps and Games] velazcod:
Awesome! Yes, I never needed it before, so I never researched, but I remember seeing it on the iPhone (after OS 2.0) when I had the 1st gen iphone, I remember using it when I was browsing and didn't want to get interrupted, but I'm sure people have other uses.

thank you very much for your support!
[G1 Apps and Games] velazcod:
The bluetooth option is not working very well, I'm starting to think it is a problem with the android os itself, well see.

Also, we might be getting native support for this soon. :D
