I just started making themes and I plan on creating roms next. I started working on my theme and wanted to see how it would look on the phone. I re-compressed the zip file back to an apk and got an error about it not being signed. The same thing also happened with some code I worked on. I just need to know how to sign the apps. Please help!

I had the HTC DROID Eris for a while, but now I have a Nexus One, and I really miss the built-in notification sounds from the Eris - specifically 'Guitar 2'. Is there *any* way someone could extract that for me somehow so I can have it on my Nexus One?

[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
rm PCSCII.apk

thats mounting iirc

also you have friendstream deleted but not facebook, that would cause perma sync unless you turn off live sync in htcfacebook
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:

thanks.. you rock! do you ever sleep? lol

removing facebook crap now and then pushing that other file back

EDIT - I already removed fb stuff using the uninstalling you provided :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
now if i could only figure out which file is "Device Self Service"
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
pretty sure its like sdsa.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] _Burst_:
device selfe service is SDSA.apk i believe.

the apk that controls what you select is actually embedded in HtcSetupWizard.apk.

Why, i dunno. I dont think the option in the settings works if you remove it. Havent tested it in awhile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
thats guys. I will leave it since it might be integral to the phone system.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I just rename my apks to xxx.backup when i want to try removing something. Then If something takes a **** and breaks, I can just rename it again and remove the .backup. RootExplorer is an awesome tool for this, no need for a PC or recovery mode, you can rename/delete etc the /system right from your phone.

Also, SDSA.apk is 100% certainly "Device Self Service". You can either rename it like I mentioned above to be safe or delete it. The only think that app does is allow you to runs OTA updating. Something you don't want anyhow if you root your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:

For what its worth I just flashed ra and get the exact same message
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Really? Wow, now that's weird. Actually -- did you flash the recovery from Toast's 2nd root method or Amon_RA's recovery from his thread? Apparently the one from his thread cause problems sometimes -- I have the one from Toast's 2nd root method. I'll check it out still though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danknee:
Flash the original version in Amon Ra's Recovery without renaming it. If you rename the file you need to resign it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danoftw:
Yep, flashing without renaming worked. Thanks alot guys, wish there was an easier way to get rid of alot of these apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Alright, great! I'm updating the script actually right now to delete more stuff in different places. Each ROM puts certain apps in different places sometimes, so I'm trying to account for that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
i didnt notice it.. oops :) as for issues no.. it just says, cant find file and moves on to next one.

Does anyone want my list of apps with the "dupes" gone?

and nice work with the .zip update... that is something that is nice to just put on the root of your sdcard, then you can flash it after you do a wipe/update
[EVO 4G Android Development] RichTJ99:
Im interested in using this "junk removal" script. On a side note, are you guys saying that the original RA software didnt care if the zip was signed vs the new RA software in his thread is causing issues? I guess I can reflash the original RA image from toasts method if thats the problem.

Is there a downside to doing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwcorvus:
Nice scripts, but I have too ask. If you are using a custom rom, why not just delete the files before you load it? This doesn't work for a few apks, like htcsetupwizard, but it works for a lot of the stock apks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
I've tested both recoveries and quite honestly, with either recovery -- you should have your packages signed. I like this type of method, because it's a security check. Plus, its not very hard to sign a package when the recovery complains. If you don't like having to sign things -- I would advise using Clockwork Recovery.

That's what

my

script does. The one you see from the OP is actually something that is done through Windows. Mine however is a flashable update.zip package script. I've only posted the script, but after getting everything the way I want it, I'll package it into a update.zip and sign it; then I can flash whenever I want. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I immediately follow up with my "Remove-stock-files" package and flash it via recovery like I would a ROM, this removes a HUGE list of stuff I've pre-specified and once I boot into the new ROM for the first time, everything that I didn't want is already gone and I'm good to go to set everything up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwcorvus:
So instead of deleting them one by one, you kill them all at once...i just downloaded your script thank you. This is pretty much the same as deleting them from the rom zip itself correct? To change the files that get deleted i just edit the update-script file inside the zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
You're welcome and yes...my script basically just tells the phone to remove everything I have specified all at once.

Yup. It's the same thing. Essentially... all the apps are located in either /system/app or /data/app and I tell the system to look for the specified apps I don't want and to remove them.

Yea, just open the script in an editing program (Notepad++ is great) and you can delete the lines that correspond to the apps you don't want deleted. If there's an app I missed (which there probably isn't, mines rather extensive) -- then you need to find the name of the .apk file either in /system/app or /data/app.

To find the names, open shell:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/data (1st dir) or /data/app (2nd dir)
ls -- Find the name -- copy and paste to match formatting

After you've done that, you'll need to package the zip file back the way it was and then sign it. Test in recovery.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] URABUS0924:
After removing a bunch of stock apks, I get the following placeholders in the Add to Home->Widgets screen.

Is there anyway to remove those entries? I tried wiping the dalvik cache but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Yup. I've had this problem before. You'll need to boot into recovery and Wipe, clear cache, and dalvik. Then reboot your phone and you'll be set. This of course somewhat sucks, because you have reconfigure everything and get your apps back; but that'll fix it (it did for me at least).

The best thing to do is upon flashing a new ROM; Wipe, clear cache, and dalvik. Flash the new ROM, then flash the remove script, and then wipe, clear cache, and dalvik

again

and you won't have those problems when booting for the first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] URABUS0924:
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll just reinstall everything again for the billionth time. =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Yea, sorry. That's the one problem with the script method. Good luck, hope it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I was having the same problem. Eventually I just renamed all my *.apk.bak files back to *.apk. Thanks for asking!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kakashi_s1:
question.

how do i have a script or zip signed? what does it mean to have it signed? Also, I'm looking for an ad blocker script. Can I zip, have it signed, and flash it as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
I don't really know what you mean by "have a script"? In any case, a couple posts back, I posted the google-update script I use to remove all the apps I don't want and then I package it into a flashable file and sign it.

To sign a package/ROM/etc means to give it a set of keys (think of: a lock and a key) --which will be validated by the recovery image when you try to flash the package/ROM. So far, Amon_RA's recovery is the one that validates the all packages/ROM to see if they've been properly signed, but Clockwork does not (IIRC).

In regards to the blocker script -- I haven't seen the it on this forum, though you could search Android Central, Phandroid, etc. If you can find the script, I'll make it into a signed flashable package.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MCL1981:
I don't suppose you could make a V2 of this that will not remove HTC sense. I'm fond of the Sense UI but I hate all the bloat. I have Fresh 0.5.3 but even that still has some junk I don't want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
It's very doable. I can leave all the HTC stuff on, but what "other" stuff do you want me to remove -- could you post a list or PM me your list? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MCL1981:
I'm thinking keep HTC everything. Most of their stuff doesn't actually run unless you tell it to. I suppose since I'm not blind, I could just take out the items from your code that I don't want deleted since I'll probably be mulling it over until I push the button.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
That would you be best and my suggestion. Once you have your list finalized, go ahead and tell me.

if you have a custom recovery: power the phone off, hold volume down and then press the power button. Continue to hold volume down. Make sure the pc img is off the sd card, wait for it to go through the motions then enter recovery

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
yeah, so try doing what I said above. Turn off phone, hold volume down, press power and release and continue holding down. You will get to hboot and it will scan for the pcimg and should not find it and present you with a menu. Go to recovery and that should be it

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
hmmm, I would have thought you would have a custom recovery from Part II of toast's rooting guide. Have you unlocked your nand through that procedure?

in any case, you can always download rom manager from the market, and that will allow you to install a custom recovery and boot into recovery from android. I am not sure if the new version requires nand unlock so make sure you have done part II of toasts root guide
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubez:
I was able to flash from the green recovery screen tho. Im not understanding this. I even updated the radio and wimax thru the same green screen... :confused:

Thanks for your help..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
how were you flashing before? did you use clockwork recovery (i think thats what it's called) through rom manager?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubez:
I dont think that I have clockwork on my phone. I was able to vol dwn/power, hboot would see the PC36*** because I was not informed to delete it, and instead of updating i selected NO, and it took me to the green recovery screen...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Ok, so I would try flashing the recovery from the second part of Toast's rooting guide. If you can do that, then you can just use the volume + power thing to get to hboot, then select recovery and it should take you into the recovery that you flashed. From that recovery you can wipe flash backup, and all that good stuff.

you dont need to do the whole part 2 over, just the part about flashing the custom recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GumboChief:
I think this is the current list of nations with CDMA networks:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CDMA2000_networks

I would recommend that you simply buy a phone from a local mobile company. CDMA phones are harder to get working on other systems than GSM phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
You have to find out what networks you have where you live. American CDMA is pretty much only a North American signal. The Evo is built to run on the Sprint network which is CDMA.

Most European countries (I know you are not in European country) run on a GSM network. Two of USA's bigger companies run GSM phones...AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones from both those companies will run in Europe...but not at 3G. But they will work.

My new Evo will not work in Europe...so next time I travel I will need to consider this.

Not sure if that helps. What network does your phone company use? Then get a phone that will work on that network. Evo is only CDMA so pretty much only a North American phone.

I live in Asia and yes, as long as you have compatible CDMA networks it will work, even the EVDO works!! You'll just need to ask your CDMA provider to inject a CDMA number or you can unlock it yourself using CDMA works (a bit risky thou)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
Find out what frequencies the country you are trying to use it in run on their CDMA networks, Sprint runs on 1900MHz, the EVO roams on Verizon's 800MHz band. 800MHz is only for voice, 1900MHz runs both voice and data. So if you are in a country with a 800MHz CDMA network it will work, but only for voice/texts. WiMax runs on 2.5GHz, no one else uses that band for WiMax.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Yep, the N1 has nearly the same specs, and is available in both an AT&T flavor and T-Mobile flavor of GSM. Find out what you need in your area (I expect it will be the T-Mobile phone) and go for that instead.

The N1 has a 5MP camera instead of 8MP, but the picture quality is often just as good (higher MP just means you can blow it up or crop more) and the screen is a 3.7" instead of 4.3". However both run basically the same hardware inside, and the N1 has a more mature modding community.

While Europe is a big place, the voice & wireless data portions of the Sprint Evo will

not

work in England, Ireland, Spain, France, Portugal, or Germany. Just like 95% percent of all Sprint phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Uhm...a flat contradiction adds nothing to the conversation. More data if you have it. The non-compatibility with Ireland/Europe/etc was a huge deal to me. One I had to just swallow and accept that if I want the phone I'd have to deal with travel at that time.

I spent weeks researching and was even told by Sprint store that no go on the Evo.

CNET: "Alternatively, if your relative is a Sprint or a Verizon customer, he or she can rent GSM phones from the carrier for the length of the trip:

HTC: "Networks	CDMA 800/1900 MHz EVDO Rev. A, WiMAX 2. 5 to 2.7GHz; 802.16e"
