Platform Signed Apps - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

Hi there, i'm developing some platform signed apps, though i want to install them on my Hero without flashing the image (running stock image).
My problem is that the stock image will have been signed with a different cert then the one i have to sign my app. Does anyone no of a way i can extract the cert from the rom on my device so i can sign my app with the same cert?
Any info on installing system apps without flashing a new rom will be appreciated.
Thanks, Ne0

You can probably use the Root explorer go in and move the cert file to your SD card or extract one of these update.zip roms and get it that way.

How to add apk files into a rom

hey i want to add some files like htc clock.apk and calculator.apk to N.S.A rom, so how do i go about it. Any help
Thank you.
unzip the ROM, add them to the app folder and rezip it and then flash the ROM (making sure the recovery utility you're using allows non-signed ROMs)
i am using clockworkmod recovery, does it allow flashing unsigned rom??
Thanks

Sorry, what does that means.
Yes, you have to remove the signing checking option in it (under advanced or something, have a play about)

Hi all, i'm a new user and i have some trouble adding .apk's into cooked roms.
In particular, i'm trying to add some .apk into /system/app of InsertCoin Gingerbread 1.0.5
I have unzipped the rom, add those apk's, zipped again but when i flash it from recovery it says "Can't Find Update Script".

Don't(!) unzip the rom. Just open the archive using 7zip or winzip (or something like that; right-click zip and choose 'open archive'). Then just move apk to correct folder. If you're taking apk's from another rom, open that using 7zip as well. Then, drag the program from one rom to the other. When you're finished and want to flash the rom, make sure you've disabled 'signature verification' in recovery (it is an option in recovery).
Thank you, i was able to flash my first "modded" version with different boot/down animation, Teeter game (i love it) and Titanium Backup
The only thing i was not able to do was Root Explorer, i tried to put it in system/app and in data/app but when i flash rom it doesn't appear in the drawer.
Any suggestion?

I have been learning how to do this in the last few days and have had similar issues as you. I can get some to install fine and appear in the drawer but not all.
I have only been adding the apk's to system/app and not data/app. Should the apk's be added to one of these, both of them or another folder completely?
Can anyone help the two of us out?
I used apk swapper but all the apps are not working

[Q] Q: Modding and Flashing a Custom ROM

I wanted to try to make a ROM that was customized just for me.
I just downloaded the most recent frost rom, unzipped it, modified the apps and framework.apk, resigned it using the signing utility available on XDA and then tried to flash it.
I did not make a folder, then tried to ZIP the folder then resigned. I took the contents of my ROM, zipped the contents into a folder, then put it through the resigning utility.
However, when I flash the ROM, it says that it can't find the update.script.
I haven't ever tried to do this, but I am guessing I am missing a step -- either that or I am in over my head.
Any help would be appreciated.

Designing My ROM Problem HELP?!?!?

Hey guys! I am having some problems with my SpaceROM update! I am currently trying to get the Titanium.apk on there (I know where to put it). This is what I did.
Extracted my ROM
Went into system
Then went into apps
I copied and pasted the app in there
I archived the ROM back into a zip file
I tried to open it in Android Kitchen (Do to some extra tweaks)
But it said "No system folder found"
So then I googled it and it said you need to resign the ROM after you tweak it
So I download and use a ROM signer (I'm not sure if it worked or not)
Then I tried to open the ROM in Android Kitchen again
And it gave me that same message!
What I am wanting to do is change apps and possible the bootanimation.zip
Any help is greatly appreciated

Root iNew U3

Hey guys, i like to root my new iNew U3 with android 5.1
So i used several programs like Kingroot, oneclickroot aso. but no apk works.
May the device is simple not to root atm?
Thanks Brook
I have tested all available root apps, no success.
I have Readbacked boot, recovery and system images, boot and recovery have special format, not possible to unpack and repack by available tools, mainly repack is problem. System is native EXT4 mountable under linux, injected by supersu files and modifications, but because of SELinux files are not available to exec under running android. I am not able to set right files contexts under Ubuntu.
I will let you know if find solution.
Hi guys, I bought this phone ( Inew U3 ) on Ebay .
The phone is not so bed!! But I can't move any app on the microSD !!!!!!
In any case app can move on SD, It is that the main memory is set to the phone, whether the main memory is set to SD !!!!!
Even with third-party app, type Link2SD you can move apps to the SD, are always on the phone memory !!!
Also you can not do root in any way !!
Solutions?
OK, found way how to root this phone.
Method is "simple":
First OTA update to version iNew_U3_5.1_V1.1.0, not sure if root survive OTA. Do factory reset.
Use SP Flash Tool to backup system.img,
mount is under linux to /system folder as ext4, it is pure ext4.
Unpack latest UPDATE-Supersu package.
Open file update-binary file as text, do all as in instructions.
Umount /system folder after finished.
Flash system.img back to phone.
If not shown reinstall SuperSU app from Playstore.
I will share modified system.img with scatter on needrom later tomorrow.
EDIT: Dwnload link: http://www.needrom.com/download/inew-u3-prerooted-system-img/#
I tried it, but it didnt work.
Everytime i extract the Zip i get a failure, that the file is corrupt?
Is there any other way?

Twrp/Root/Exposed/Sm-n900t/4.4.2 internal storage problems.

I'm running running the 4.4.2 bug fixing module if it matters.
When trying to: Download apk's, save pictures, use TB, I get an inability to access proper location error.
(Screens hots say USB storage maybe turned on.)
(TB says that storage/emulated/0/legacy can't be accessed. )
Es and other file explorers show that location as the only existing folder inside of internal storage. ("0").
Nothing else is in either folder.
I want to "restore" (Whether that be create folders, or re-flash)
EDIT: Using "Undeleter" app to recover all Archive file types (Zip, Apk, Jar.) And Image file types (there were like 8 different kinds.) Now my plan is to save it all to internal memory storage/emulated/0
I have no clue what else to do, or how to address the Legacy folder inside if "0".
Thanks in advance.
Also want to upgrade to Sm-900t/TWRP/Root/Xposed/5.0 Lollipop in the future if anyone can link a tutorial.
Would be willing to accept newest update as long as TWRP/ROOT/XPOSED are functional and Multi-Window/Pen-Window are both functional.
You could flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin. Then flash twrp via Odin. Flash supersu via TWRP to get root, then install xposed.
