Ok, so I'm kind of new to automator which is why I'm making this as a tutorial instead of a download.
1. First you need to download the AndroidMod.zip JesusFreke posted
http://android-dls.com/forum/index.php?f=24&t=191&rb_v=viewtopic
2. Copy the three highlighted objects from the SignApk folder to the folder of your choice, I chose one called signapk in my applications folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Open the info window for one of the files in there final destination, keep it open as we're going to use the Where field in the next step.
4. Open Automator and choose a custom workflow. First go to Files and Folders then choose Duplicate Finder Items. What this does is create a duplicate of the file we're going to sign and pass it to the shell script we're about to create.
Then scroll down to utilities and then choose Run Shell Script.
5. Change the drop down for pass inputs from to stdin to as arguments. This allows us to either create an application we can drop files we want to sign onto, or create a finder plugin so we can right click(or ctrl-click if you're on a single button trackpad or mouse) and sign it from there.
6. The basic usage for the signapk.jar included in the android mod file is as follows: java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 <update.zip> <update_signed.zip>
what we need to change is add the absolute path to signapk.jar, testkey.x509.pem, and testkey.pk8. Thats what is listed in the where field in the get info window comes into play, just type everything listed there right infront of each of those three files. In my case thats going to be /Applications/signapk/. We also need to change <update.zip> to "[email protected]" with the quotes. Thats what is actually going to be the input from either dragging and dropping or right clicking. Finally the last parameter we just need to remove because we made a duplicate of the file to be signed, and if theres no final parameter it overwrites the file sent to it. My final shell script is shown in the image below.
7. Save the file as an application if you want to drag and drop files onto it and Save it as a plugin and then select finder if you want to be able to right click and sign. When using a finder plugin you right click and go to more, then automator, then choose the plugin you just saved.
Thats It! whenever you use it it will automatically create a copy of the file you're signing (ex. Launcher.apk -> Launcher copy.apk or update.zip -> update copy.zip) and sign that. The copy is the signed version and the original is left untouched.
Feel free to modify this however you want, if someone wants to release a prebuilt version of this automator action, thats perfectly fine by me, you don't even need to ask for permission. Do whatever you want with it.
Thanks very much! I was getting tired of launching Parallels whenever I wanted to do something like this.
yes super useful, was sick of tossing files back and forth between my computers. definitely needs to be a sticky.
I couldn't get it to work for me with ADP1.1 When I try to boot up with update.zip I get the error that the files were not signed. For argument sake I redid everything a few times. And saved my files exactly where you saved them and still no luck. Any ideas?
::edit:: I think that my problem has something to do with certain files not changing to .apk when I change them back from .zip. Some of my .apks change to that black square that you know are some executable program while the rest remain little white ones. Any ideas on how to change them to normal executable files?
yeah, if you open the info (command + i) on the file you'll see that the file has the .zip hidden. In the info window you can delete the .zip extension and just leave the .apk. Theres a setting somewhere to enable file extensions always, and it's quite nice to have that enabled
I already have it enabled. That is why I can't figure out why some files do that and some don't.
Edit: Finder is reading some of them as Unix executable and others as documents. I guess the trick is trying to figure out how to fix that.
That would be as simple as running chmod on them in the console, however I've never had a problem with that, as long as they're named.apk and not .apk.zip I've never had a problem putting them back on the phone even if osx didn't see them as unix executables
That is the only thing I could think of and chmod did not work. But I am not 100% sure that it is even the files that is the problem.
::Edit:: After testing things a little more I think it has something to do with the signing itself. Even though it makes that copy I don't think it is actually signing the file. Would you be able to upload your program?
i have had the exact same problem as Broopa and its getting really anoying lol could someone please upload the file for us to use.
Anyone have any idea why the folders aren't getting signed. I even installed java from Apples developer site and no luck.
c'mon people...youve all done it can you please send some info our way??
sorry guys I don't know why it's not working now. I'll try to get it fixed and reposted.
Any updates on this? I still can't get it to work.
i created the workflow, saved it as a service for finder, and tried it out.
it creates the dupe file, but pops up with an error message:
The action "Run Shell Script" encountered an error.
there must be something wrong with the script itself, or the arguments being called by it.
is nobody still working on this? i know it's been over a year, but this would be very helpful to have available.

This post DOES NOT CONTAIN SWYPE BINARIES, and presumes that you have backed up your original Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so files. If you forgot to, you can get them by doing an unyaffs on the system.img from any of your nandroid backups that would contain swype, or the G2's PC10IMG.zip, and extracting the files from system/lib/libSwypeCore.so and system/app/Swype.apk.
You can also check this post for other methods of attaining your old Swype files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841603
DO NOT USE THIS ARCHIVE WITHOUT FIRST ADDING THE SWYPE FILES. BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE EITHER WAY.
TO RESTORE THE SWYPE FILES FROM A NANDROID BACKUP:
See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971 for the original PC10IMG.zip file that should theorietically also contain it - though I have not yet figured out how to extract files from its system.img
1. Locate your nandroid backup that you know you made when you had Swype2. Find the system.img in the nandroid backup (probably in /sdcard/ClockworkMod/backup/)3. Open an adb shell and execute the following:
mkdir /sdcard/system
cp /sdcard/ClockworkMod/backup/YOUR-BACKUP-NAME/system.img /sdcard/system/
cd /sdcard/system
unyaffs system.img4. Mount your sdcard on your PC and navigate to the system/app folder and copy Swype.apk to your desktop5. Navigate to the system/lib folder and copy libSwypeCore.so to your desktopYou can now safely delete the system folder on your sdcard (it's taking up a lot of space).
Now you should have Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so ready to go.
Once you get those files, you're ready to create the update zip:
1. Download the FixSwype.zip attached to the bottom of this thread, and edit it with your favorite archive editor (I prefer 7-Zip, because it's open-source and fully-featured).
You should see:
system
META-INF
2. Browse to the system/app directory, and paste in your Swype.apk
then, go back up to the system/lib directory, and paste in the libSwypeCore.so
3. Move the new FixSwype.zip to your SD Card, either via mounting it on your PC and manually copying it, or by "adb push FixSwype.zip /sdcard/"
4. Reboot to recovery. Navigate to "apply zip from sdcard" or equivalent function, and select your FixSwype.zip.5. You're done! Reboot the phone, go to Settings, Language & keyboard, and check "Swype". Enjoy! You now have a permanent Swype-restoring patch.
Of course, you'll have to re-run this process any time you install a new ROM, as the new ROM will overwrite your existing /system partition, where Swype lives.
So, whenever you install a new rom just...
1. apply the new ROM's .zip file
2. apply the FixSwype.zip file
wash, rinse, repeat!
Want to buy me a beer? Click here!
There's not really any need for this if you're using CM. Once you have Swype on your phone, create a file in /system/etc/ called custom_backup_list.txt. Each line in the file should be the path to a file that you want preserved when you flash a new version, with the leading /system/ removed. So, for swype, your /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt would have:
app/Swype.apk
lib/libSwypeCore.so
(I also added app/Quickoffice.apk, along with the modified files for the fixed keymap.)
Once you have this file in place, Swype (and whatever else you list) will be preserved automatically for you every time you flash a new CM.

itp,
This is really good info to have! Thanks. I've heard rumors (unconfirmed by myself) that Rom Manager does not honor this file, so I'll leave my post up for the time being, for people who may find it useful or don't feel comfortable playing in /system.
how do i do a unyaffs on my stock backup rom so i can get the swype keyboard back? Also does this work on virtuous roms?
hate to break your heart, but the easier-est way is already made just by 3 clicks in an apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841603
just download the apk in the link of mediafire through your phone or from computer move it to your sd card.
use a file manager/browser to locate and install the file.
open, look for the swype which it only shows that file...click and it will do the rest for you by itself.
oh and make sure you check it in the keyboard settings and uncheck any other keyboards you might have installed.

Hmm, make sure you're spelling it right... otherwise, not sure. It's possible (but unlikely) the ROM you're using doesn't include it. It's definitely in cyanogenmod...

Hi all,
This guide is split into two parts as of now , part 1 is for changing the settings menu background and part 2 is for changing the backgground for dialer and contacts.
Part -1
may be this method is known to few but im posting this to people who dont know how to change the background image of the settings menu and other few.
Sample screenshots

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Like it?
here is the method to do this.
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)
2.android sdk(to use adb commands to push/pull the files)
How it works:
We are modifying/replacing an image called "background_holo_dark.png" in the "framework-res.apk" which is responsible for displaying background images in menu.
Step 1:
Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Code:
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk
Step 2:
Open the framework-res.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push the file back to mobile, type the following command in the same command prompt
Code:
adb remount
now type the following
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Part-2
Wanna change the background of the dialer and contacts?? well read below,
Step 1:
Use the adb command (or u can use root explorer) to pull the "Contacts.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Step 2:
Open the Contacts.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"Contacts.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_dial_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Drag the image (similar to the one created in part 1 of the guide) file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push/copy back the file back to mobile. Copy back the file to the same directory from where it is copied.
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Your dialer and contacts shortcut may be missing from your launcher, just drag it back to the homescreen from the app drawer.
Step:5
This step is optional!!! If you do not get those shortcuts, enter cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Sample screenshots.
Note:
For users who know how to use root explorer can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.
Sample images are taken with 160 dpi, this mod will work with all dpi.
credit:
vertimus (thanks to him , he helped finding the right image to replace)
you can find some ready to use backgrounds in this post ... will be updating this post when i find something beautiful for a background
updated with a few more images
Now the journy began, will try it soon
For those who don't have the sdk tools...
Root explorer can also be used in order to copy the framework-res.apk and after editing paste it again.

Yeap
But doing this, just after copying, the phone made a small reboot. And after, I had the new background image
(I try with adb remount, but this command doesn't work...)
So I did it with ES Explorate
Black background
Thanks for this tutorial. Was having trouble using root explorer so I just used ES File Explorer and that worked fine. Finally have the black background I love in Settings.
Link is below for anyone that wants it
works also fine for non CM9 Rom, but the category bars (interface, device etc.) are not transparent. How to change it?
Thanks and Greetz

I've been trying this more ever and I couldn't get it to work. I had it once but as soon as I flashed a theme of CM9 it was over-written and if I try to replace the file I always get a bootloop. And even worse is that I can't install Java for the pc program so if anyone can give me a step by step on how to do this with root explorer and 7zip that would be very appreciated

Do we need to re-sign the APK after pasting the image in the zip file? or we can simply put this APK back to the framework folder?
EDIT: Nevermind.. it works!! without re-signing the apk. thanks.
With all the splash screen discussion and threads popping up, I decided it was time to make a tool which could help users create and flash their own splash screens.
Verizon HTC One Splash Image Creator
This simple Windows command-line tool allows the creation of splash images, which are automatically converted to zip files and placed in the 'flash' folder, ready to be flashed, which can be flashed by the second option. It also allows the backing-up of your current splash image, as well as extracting the image from custom '.img' files.
Instructions:
S-OFF is required for this to function!
Everything needed is included aside from the image you want to be a splash screen, and the on-screen directions are quite straight-forward.
Unzip it to a location you can easily find and run 'splash.bat'. If necessary, run it as Administrator.
Make sure you maintain the folder structure as it is in the zip.
DISCLAIMER:
This tool consists of several files, most of which I didn't create. Specifically, it includes the most up-to-date ADB and Fastboot files, along with the FFMPEG free software licensed under GPL, as well as 7-Zip, also licensed under GPL. I am not making money from this tool, therefore everything should be copacetic. All I'm doing is collecting them in one place, making it significantly easier to perform its specific function.
I can not be held responsible for your use of this tool. Flashing custom images generally can't brick your device, but if it does, the fault lies with you, the user. I am not liable. Use this tool at your own risk. This is for the Verizon HTC One only!

Known Issues:
When creating a splash image, sometimes it asks you to specify whether the destination is a file or directory. It's a directory. I have overwrite and quiet mode on, so it shouldn't pop up and ask that. It only does it about 2 out of 30 times.
When flashing the splash zip, it sometimes tells me that fastboot flash isn't a valid command, despite it working without changing anything since the last time I ran it. I also tested it about 30 times, and it also only gave me that error twice. It immediately reboots and works again right after that without any modification.
Potential Limitations:
I have only been able to test this on the 1.10.605.8 software release. I don't know if you need to change the text in the android-info.txt file in the '/tools/' folder to the updated version or not. I would appreciate it if someone would test that for me who is currently on the new update.
Changelog:
Code:
v1.01 - Bux fix regarding folder structure.
v1.0 - Initial release.
Download:
http://d-h.st/OTD
Please let me know if you discover any bugs, or if you think you know why I have the two I have now. Also, let me know if it works on the .10 software update.

Are you maintaining the folder structure as it is in the zip?
EDIT:
I did leave a bug in there regarding folder structure. I was operating from C:\ during testing, and left "C:" in there as part of the test for whether the needed files existed. If you were operating on a drive letter besides C:, it would throw that error. I removed that drive letter requirement. Please download version 1.01 and try it again from any drive letter you like.

That's very odd. Are you placing a picture in the 'image' folder, using option #1 and converting it to the flashable zip, then trying to flash it? If there's no zip to flash, it throws an error, even though that's the wrong error.

I've used this with multiple ROMs and HBOOT versions, including the newest one, without altering anything in this program, and all worked without a problem. While I can't guarantee that that will always be the case, I haven't come across any problems as of yet. Flashing a splash image generally can't screw your phone up, but there are always exceptions. I really should update this tool with more specific instructions. Maybe I'll do that while I'm off over the holidays. To be specific in what I've tested it with, I've listed everything that I recall testing it with. I haven't seen it fail yet, and I haven't updated it since the original version.
ROMs tested with:
1.08.605.8
1.08.605.10
1.08.605.15
2.10.605.1
CM 10.2
HBOOTs tested with:
1.08.605.8 HBOOT 1.54.0000
1.08.605.10 HBOOT 1.54.0000
1.08.605.15 HBOOT 1.54.0000
2.10.605.1 HBOOT 1.55.0000
Santod's modded HBOOT 1.54.0000
RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer HBOOT 1.54.0000
Thanks! Worked great on 1.55hboot ViperOne 4.2.1 rom. Great work.
I made a zip file with what I feel will be usable now that we have cmd working. This zip file includes cmd.exe, bcdedit.exe, powershell.exe, reg.exe, ipconfig.exe, tracert.exe, ping.exe, shutdown.exe, xcopy.exe, mountvol.exe, netsh.exe, sleep.exe, tlist.exe, tracelog.exe, tzutil.exe, winrshost.exe, and the files required for those all to function properly. Everything is in its correct place, just move the contents of the zip into system32 and reboot. I chose these files due to what I saw happening on the forums and what I personally needed, but if you need anything else, feel free to ask and I'll add it to the zip so you don't all have to download the entire IoT image.

I made a zip file with what I feel will be usable now that we have cmd working. This zip file includes cmd.exe, bcdedit.exe, powershell.exe, reg.exe, ipconfig.exe, tracert.exe, ping.exe, shutdown.exe, xcopy.exe, mountvol.exe, netsh.exe, sleep.exe, tlist.exe, tracelog.exe, tzutil.exe, winrshost.exe, and the files required for those all to function properly.

To run cmd on Windows 10 Mobile, look at the SFTP and cmd over SSH thread

I don't have any x50 devices, but they should work for them too, I can't think of any reason they wouldn't
I got cmd.exe and the mui file in my system32 folder with the help of a ssh app on my android phone. How do I get the cmd function to work on my windows phone now?

If you have interop tools installed, tap the bottom button on the CMD page
I hit the cmd button on the bottom of the ssh page but nothing happens. It just says that the user failed to respond in time.

I've been getting that too, I've only been using SSH to use cmd. It does say cmd access is a work in progress, so I'm waiting for the next update to try to use it locally.
Have you been getting a not enough space to use command error when using ssh after putting the cmd exe and mui file into system32 even though you have 3+ gb left?

What command are you trying to use?
It happens when I login to the ssh app to use cmd, it also says something about missing some text file for something. This didn't start happening until I put both cmd files into system32

Is cmd.exe.mui in en-US?
Yes, I deleted both files from system32 then did the copy process over again but same message happens.
'the system cannot find message text for message number 0x2350 in the message file for application.'

It sounds like cmd.exe.mui is in the wrong place, make sure it's in system32\en-US
The directory was called EN-US so copying it to en-US didn't correctly copy it over

Is it working now?
I am a New Pro3 owner, and a old XDA flasher. These days I just want stability and battery life. So given no one is getting OTA updates because the LeEco US office are... well about to close doors? Or at a minimum they are not maintaining the OTA servers as of today (09/06/2017 MM/DD/YEAR). I took it on myself to figure out how to get the updates and how to do them.
What you need:
These three files, nothing else.
5.8.019_sta.zip
5.8.020_sta.zip
5.8.021_sta.zip
Found here.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2EAg2WU3OwpSHRMdEZ0Tks0a3M
It is very simple, but also very finicky.
1. Download 5.8.019_sta.zip, rename to update.zip
2. Place the update.zip on the root directory of your phone storage
3. Go to Settings -> System update (about 3/4 the way down)
4. Top right corner will see three vertical dots, tap the dots and select "local update" (see image)

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. When you select "local update" if you did everything correct it should say "Update package found bla bla bla". Click continue.
That's it, it will load the file, reboot in to recovery and flash the file.
Then just follow this process for each file 19s->20s-21s. Make sure you remove the last update.zip before you put the new one in place.
Now, here is how it can be "finicky". For some reason using an android file manager to rename the files to "update.zip" corrupts the file in some way... and the update once you get in to the recovery section of the auto update fails. BEST PRACTICE IS TO DOWN LOAD THE FILES TO YOUR PC, THEN RENAME IT ON YOUR PC TO update.zip AND TRANSFER TO YOUR PHONES ROOT STORAGE.
Why? no clue, but you can try it either way... but if you find it failing try ^^
Hi, thanks for sharing the files, nuch appreciated.

Just google "5.8.019_sta" (for each one)
You should be able to find the change-log somewhere.
Edward,
Works great! Just some notes for everyone else.
1) Make sure phone is set to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
2) If you are using Windows and are 'dragging and dropping' onto the device just copy to the phone icon in file explorer, that will put it at / which is where it needs to be.
3) When I did this and used the local update option, it didn't even prompt for 19S, it just moved forward and started the upgrade and rebooted the phone. All it asked me to confirm was right when I selected local update to 'make sure' I wanted to do it. No version check, etc. I was on 18S, btw.
Are you saying you went straight from 18s to 21s? Without the intermediary updates? Are you bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thanks for all of those OTAs. I was restoring my device to stock and every update kept failing when I tried to manually update it. Note: Update will fail if your OTA is not called update.zip.
IT IS CASE SENSITIVE; in other words, it will fail if you name is 'Update.zip'.
Thanks again and this post should be stickied tbh.
If my phone has twrp and on a custom rom could i use the same steps to go back to stock?

Ugh
I could not resist the $199 sale on Amazon despite knowing all the shortcomings. I am starting to regret this decision ... somewhat ... especially since Amazon no longer lets you return phones & can only exchange within 10 days.
Anyhow, I was excited when I got this phone the next day after I ordered it but my 1st frustration was that I could not do any system updates. I read about all the improvements like app drawer & really wanted them but no, it kept saying my system was up to date (still on 18 mind you). Which led me to this thread ... but now my computer will not recognize the Le Pro 3 when I connect it. I tried different USB ports & cords and no luck so far. I also cannot download the above links from my phone so I am kind of stuck @ the moment ...
I do, however, think that I got the work around for the notification issue as they seem to be coming in now, so that's good.
Overall, the phone mostly works so I am not totally mad at this purchase but getting the updates would be nice.
Quick Question: if I try to install Lineage OS, will the phone still have the T-Mobile wifi calling?
Thank you all for this super helpful forum for basic users like me.
UPDATE: Rebooting the phone got my computer to recognize the phone. However, I have followed all the instructions above (downloaded the file, renamed it update.zip, dragged & dropped it right on the phone in explorer, but it still will not find it with the local update.
I downloaded the Cheetah File Manger which shows you the Root Directory, which did not look like where I put mine. So I tried to move it over to the Root Directory but it would not let me paste it there. So close ...................................... calling it a night ...... sigh
i wanted to follow your guidelines but there is no system update in settings in my device. i ve bought it from banggood if that info is useful.
Could you please add check sums for these files.
Thanks in advance!
Try to update my X727 from 5.8.018s to 5.8.019s:
1. Renamed 5.8.019_sta.zip to update.zip and copied it to phone root.
2. From File Manager pressed on update.zip and choose "Upgrade", it has started updating "Upgrading, do not power off the phone".
3. The phone rebooted and entered to Recovery with an error message: "Failed to update! Cause: Installation failed"
4. Presses Back-button and tried again "Update system" and got an error message "Failed to update! Cause: APK not found"
What's wrong?
