it should zip perfectly fine with the boot.img. the cm-4.9999 has a backup.sh script in it and it signs fine.

wow im so shocked, and happy. i didnt realize that you could just unzip and then compress the files with the mac os. i didnt try the update.zip file. but i unpacked an apk, recompressed it, changed the .zip to .apk and then signed it. and it just installed on the phone! well this is a great discovery for me! :)

go ahead and try extracting your sense hero rom, then recompressing the files, not the folder it extracts to, and try signing it. i think it should work fine.
[G1 Android Development] G1_Lucky:
im sorry i dont get the last part of your post can you rephrase it :) thanks for helping me out
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
take the sensehero.zip file

extract it to your desktop

open the folder where the files were extracted to. probably has the same name as the file

select all the files that were in the zip. right click and press compress

then take that new.zip file you just made and sign it with the app
[G1 Android Development] MurderDeathKill:
Correct! Make sure your only selecting the items you want to be in your .zip. I made the mistake of placing all my items in one folder and compressing the folder which lead to errors.
[G1 Android Development] G1_Lucky:
Thanks I just made my custom version of SENSEHEROv1.0 its sick i fixed everything that was wrong with it. Thank You guys :)
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
thanks a lot! I just spend good 30 min trying to add blur anim folder (for anmation) to framework-res.apk in the latest Mlign V1.1 sense, with this I could done it in a zap:)
[G1 Android Development] h4ck3r7y:
Awesome! Thanks, it works PERFECTLY!
[G1 Android Development] lehuukha:
For some reason my g1 won't take it. :/

I unzipped the signed file and found a two folders one saying "meta inf" and the other the name of the rom then the files needed to install the rom in there. I'm kind of upset ;/
[G1 Android Development] ffff00:
I'm guessing that you signed the actual 'romname'.zip.

You have to zip/sign the contents of the rom in order for it to work.
[G1 Android Development] HeroMeng:
How do you get the app to... open? It just bounces on the dock and closes.
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
It isn't an app that opens. It's a droplet. That means you drag the files on top of the app.
[G1 Android Development] boldfilter:
Worked great thank you

[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
i dont get a droplet, just a folder. what am i doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
Once you unzip this file, there should be an application file which is the droplet and it will also have the testsign.jar in there. Here is a media fire link as it seems the androidspin link is dead.

[G1 Android Development] myopicmusician:
Thank you SO much for this! I've been struggling for a day to understand how to sign zips with java and terminal. This droplet makes it effortless.

Wow I just have to say this is amazing. Just started modding some widgets and you will be hearing from me soon. As you know I am a Palm Pre themer and although might not be popular here I made the iPhone iCons theme which is the most downloaded theme in Prethemer.

I've been learning how to mod apks, widgets, and so forth. This is great!
[G1 Android Development] 5thAgent:
I love you.

Well, to a degree, lol. This is awesome. I can finally sign updates! Just packaged a flashable zip of the new Gingerbread keyboard for the Eris.
[G1 Android Development] d1g1taLph3r3t:
Will the download files work on windows Vista Home Premium, x64? Are there files that do the same as these in Windows?

[EDIT]

Looks like I found my answer to my 2nd question in this xda-developers forum post.

Sprint SPH-M910, Baseband DF27, rooted inxane 0.3.8.1 kernal, with (deodexed) DF27 Stock Theme Template version 3.
[G1 Android Development] p51d78th:
Thanks for this Droplet it will make things easier.

As for file management I dislike just placing files in Root. OS X has 2 directories for Java classpaths. If you place the testsign.jar file in either of the below it will work anywhere on the system.

/Library/Java/Extensions/

~/Library/Java/Extensions (This one may not exist, if so create it)

Once again thanks alot. :D
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
thanks for your input, make sense since you don't see files here and there in the root
[G1 Android Development] tofasttafuri:
Sorry for resurrecting this topic, but when i try to install signed apps, i get a "problem parsing the package" error
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I would appreciate some help here, I have used this droplet before and it worked fine, yesterday I modified a rom and signed it but it wouldn't install, it failed signature check, tried again and same thing

downloaded Signapktic from market to sign it on the fly from phone and it failed aswell, then I tried to flash my a diff rom (the one Im actually using, which I know is good to flash) and it failed again

the only thing I've ben able to flash successfully now is fr-recovery & boot files, nothing else:mad:

I re-flashed my recovery and still no luck

any input will be appreciated

Back to my nandroided for now
[G1 Android Development] tjrocks91:
thanks, this was so useful!
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
ya... almost a year later, still not working. just sits there frozen until i have to force quit it.
[G1 Android Development] Ja_som:
It works perfectly, thank you
[G1 Android Development] toy79111:
Still works!!!!

I just test your applications on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite DP4 and sign my apk generated by phonegap. It works great!

The apk successfully installed on ASUS Tablet running on Android 4.2.2.

Thank you!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DeathAgain:
It would appear that I dropped the incorrect SPL on my phone when following this guide (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Amon_Ra_recovery_tool). I used the one that was mentioned, and now the phone no longer fully boots. I can still get into fastboot/hboot, and technically into recovery. The screen is not displaying properly on either mode, leaving hboot difficult to read, but useable, and recovery without a UI (the MyTouch splash stays there, but the phone goes into recovery mode).

I did manage (somehow) to get CM-Recovery 1.4 flashed to it, and that is how I managed to install the SPL. I had the 1.33.0006 SPL prior to bricking.

I also tried fastbooting and it is no longer blocked.

What are my options here? Am I boned, or do I have a way out of this?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Jay_8698:
If you have a SD Adapter try to add any ROM to your SD and flash it. I did that earlier, and it worked. If you can see the recovery image screen then its not fully bricked. Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DeathAgain:
I can attempt to do that. Thing is, I'm blind once I hit the recovery screen. Can't see jack because the video is all messed up.

Should I attempt to keep flashing SPLs till I find one that works? Or is that a very, very bad idea? Given, that, is there a way to go back to 0006?

Thing that sucks is that I just got this thing yesterday and got a little overzealous with the rooting. Whoever helps me through this is definitely getting a case of beer or something ><

---

I guess what would help me the most at this time (I think) is suggesting which SPL I should drop on the phone (2004 is now on there), or helping me get 0006 back on there or something of that nature.

Can I control Recovery via adb? If so, awesome. But can I push an SPL via adb, that is the question?

Also, since I was somehow able to get a different recovery on the phone, do I still need to deal with the goldcard and all in order to install a different ROM?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keeezy:
HI

Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade to WM6.5 (english) from WM6 (CE OS 5.2.1622 - Build 18128.0.4.4)

HTC Touch Dual (NIKI100) Radio is: 1.58.1627.

Do I have to update the radio to 1.65 ? if so,...um...how do I do that?

Which WM6.5 Rom would I then need to flash to end up with 6.5 in english on my Touch Dual?

Could someone please put me out of my misery if it's a "no"..........I think I can handle it.....
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lukesky:
Have you even looked at the rest of the threads here? There are quite a few WM6.5 roms floating around and a lot of them are english.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keeezy:
Upgrade yes or no

Yes Lukesky,

Thanks for your reply..yes. I've been reading these forums for around 2-3 years now so I know the roms are out there of course, but that wasn't my question. I have seen some horror stories too of some people upgrading and having the wrong radio version installed and ending up with big problems. My Touch Dual is quite old now with an older radio version than most I see here. So, of course I can download a WM6.5 in english, but my question is firstly, can I upgrade the radio version (without my phone being rendered useless !)because it seems that most 6.5 versions require a radio of at least 1.65 , and then a suitable version of WM6.5 after that. Just need a yes or no answer really...

Regards

keeezy

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] stadros83:
Ok thanks !
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] bobbymihalca:
upgrade 1st to latest version of 6.1 available from HTC ( official version that match you CID/language).

this will upgrade your radio so you don't have to upgrade radio, also you will have a original rom that your original spl will accept if you mess up ( forget to HardSPL ).

run SoftSPL and flash HardSPL 1.22

flash a WM6.5 rom

you could brick your phone but i think the dangerous part is flashing HardSPL.

while original SPL is there u can flash original rom (WM6.1) and after anything by starting into bootloader tricolor screen (Pwr+Camera after reset).

hey people, i was just wondering if there is a google sky type app available for windows mobile. for those that dont know what it is it displays the names and location of stars using gps and an inbuilt compass. however, im not sure if the touch pro 2 has the necessary hardware to run such an app.

any info would be greatly appreciate

thanks

I've been using Pocket Stars from Handango for about a year.. awesome little program and a data connection is not needed!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phatestcat:
Correct, the TP2 does not have the necessary hardware. The HD2 has one. Have seen the program on an Android phone, and it's a great way to show off the hardware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iorecki:
i just installed xandroid on my TP2....and downloaded the google sky app via android marketplace...and installed it and it worked perfect.

the gps can be used as a compass i believe.....

someone needs to make this a winmo app and make it for free !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] motocrossmann:
Has anyone noticed their phone likes to turn itself on during phone calls as the phone touches your head?

I thought that could be fixed with Advanced Configuration Tool and these options:

◦Phone sleep during call

◦Fast sleep during call

But they both are gone. They were there on my Kaiser. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
It's supposed to turn off due to the proximity sensor. I'm using a T-Mobile USA TP2 and it turns off as it touches my ear. One way you can test this, if you haven't already, is to call a phone, then as it is in progress, lay the phone with the screen up, and put your finger across the top of the facade of the phone (cover the top area where the earpiece is). When I do that, in order to replicate my ear towards the phone, the proximity sensor blanks the screen.

As for the AC tool settings you mentioned, I've never touched those, so mine are on the default settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] motocrossmann:
Hey, wow! You're right! When the device is against my ear, the display is out. As soon as I pull it away, even slightly, it turns it on!

I'm simple, I know. My wife tells me that all the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
It's okay, when I first got my TP2, I encountered the same thing you thought was a problem. Then I saw a video online demonstrating proximity sensors and the guy on the video put his finger along the top/speaker area of the device and the screen turned off. I replicated his actions on my TP2 and realized that the proximity sensor activates when something is touching it or gets fairly close to it. BTW, we're all simple; we just excel in different ways!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carhigh:
LOL, me and the wife learning this stuff too. Hey, heres another (which i just created a post for), GO rub a magnet on the face of the phone while the screen is OFF, right over the tiny keypad. If you have a soft case with magnet in the flat, go see the funky result
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Well since I'm already here and I don't want to search for that post (sorry to the Mods since this is irrelevant for this thread), I can answer that too. It's already a well-known issue. The magnet tricks the phone into thinking either the keyboard and/or the stylus is being opened/taken out. However, it is more accepted that the phone is being tricked into the keyboard being opened. There's a registry edit posted on these forums that can fix that, but the downside is if you want the screen to turn on when the keyboard opens, it will no longer turn on without having to press the screen wake-up button.

I'm just using the Slide2Unlock v.204 for WVGA devices. It keeps the phone locked even if the screen turns on. When I slide my phone into my magnet-clasped holster, it sometimes turns on. It's just a habit for me now to check the screen once it's in the holster, so I can turn the screen off if it woke up by itself.
[G1 Apps and Games] flobin:
My problem is simple, hopefully so will the solution be. When I search openhome or ahome on the market, I find a whole slew of skins, but not the actual program. I can download paid apps, since I've done so many times, but I just don't see either version of the program anywhere in the list. I live in the Netherlands, if that matters. Oh and I'm running Cyanogen's latest stable ROM, 4.0.4 I think. Anyone know what I might do to solve my problem? Thanks in advance!

Why not mix and match if we can?

Hi Everyone!

I got the following problem with my Charmer:

The previous guy, who had this phone, flashed it with a wrong ROM. The phone hangs at the T-mobile splash screen. I beleived that I can fix this problem, because I made this with my Charmer earlier. (Thanks for rmagyar's Charmer rescue kit). But at this time, when I put the phone into bootloader mode to use the rescue kit, there is no usb connection. It can't be charged, and the PC doesn't see the phone.

Any ideas, how to flash the rescue kit? Can I get back the usb connection?
