I have been toying with the idea of making a theme. Sounds like fun and the How To's here are really thorough (by the way, I appreciate that, those things must have been quite the labors of love).
As you can tell from the thread title, my OS of choice is obviously Ubuntu. The autosign tool sounds pretty convenient, but I notice it is for Windows. I've searched a bit, but honestly I am getting tired of thumbing through thread after thread looking for the answer and was hoping for a friendly nudge in the right direction.
Anyway, long way around to these questions:
1, when I re-sign an apk, do I use test-keys, do I create my own key, or do is that something JDK will create for me to use?
2, I don't want to create a theme that makes people need to wipe before switching, the template is up to date on the How To thread? Are there templates for JF ADP1.1, and maybe even RC8 as well? Or was there a thread I could read about taking the necessary parts of JF's update and building a template of mine own from that?
3, To actually resign an apk, you have to edit some hex code right? If there truly is NO tool for Linux, I could use some directions on where to find how to manually sign a file. Then hopefully I can find / convert / create a tool in Linux to handle the dirty work for me.
I guess this is what I get for coming in so late into the game.
Also, I am curious if anyone else creates themes in anything other than Windows... any *nix creators out there?
ok, first off to resign an apk or a zip you dont have to do any hex editing at all, in fact, to make a theme you dont have to do any hex editng.
2nd, use my default themes as in the stickies as a template to build your theme, it will not wipe.
3rd to resign in linux, which I haven't done, you will probably need the original signing tool which can be found in jf's recovery.img .zip[ he provided a while ago. I believe it is stickied on android development.
This is the command to resign them
java -jar testsign.jar >inputfile> <outputfile>
Hope this helps

Thanks for the super quick reply
Ok, I'll give a search for "testsign.jar", that should get me in the right direction. Once I have that I guess it is time for some experimenting. It shouldn't be hard to develop a shell script that takes every file of xxx type, from a directory and then pass them as values to the testsign.jar app one by one. I had a shell script do something like this to rename all of my photos.
I resign the apk and zip files then.
Thanks Stericson, now I am off to find that testsign.jar, make sure I have the up-to-date default themes, and play around a bit.
EDIT:
SignApk.jar is a tool included with the Android platform source bundle.
testkey.pk8 is the private key that is compatible with the recovery image included in this zip file
testkey.x509.pem is the corresponding certificate/public key
Usage:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 <update.zip> <update_signed.zip>

This is what I need isn't it? I thought that sounded familiar, I had this downloaded from the whole "let's explore how to root my phone" process.
oh yea, ooops, that is right...sorry I have a custom version of the tool I use. Sowwy.
But that is right.
that cmd line will sign both apks and zips

I was wondering what it would take for me to start to make a theme, i have some basic understand of javascript visual basic, c++ and html//xml, or is there some sort of a program that i would use for it? if not is there some sort of a base example guide that i could use? Preferabbly dealing with cyanogen if its possible? Thanks.
Its as simple as downloading an existing theme, or even the stock one, and changing/overwriting the files in the System/App/Launcher, and Framework.apks and any other apps .apks you want to change. Only change the image files (jpg or png) in each "Drawable folder." .9.png files are different, look for the thread on those. I use Photoshop but any image editing program should work, whatever u use, then drag the modified files back into the theme.zip and resign and flash.
Some things you can find in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468254
There used to be a guide for things but I can't find it. Brandenk originally had his guide in there which I think is the easiest to follow. He still does have it here http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=186
I'm new to vb.net and writing my first app for windows mobile 6.
I need help with an XML reader/writer. Is there anyone willing to help me with this.
I have an AT&T Fuze and want to use the AT&T tab in manilla as a game tab
I can edit the file nessary(att_tabitems.xml) on my desktop with notepad and all works fine. But if I edit it on the phone with the program I made after saving the file It is half the size an the At&t tab in manila can't read the file; however, opening each file the origional and the one my app created on the phone they seem to have the same information in them. word for word.
I use the readfiles/writefiles options in vb to read and write the file. I think I need to use a method of writing XML I did try and use the System.XML xmlDocument to try and read in the xml file but was unable to get it to work.
I was hoping someone here had an example of an app they had writen that reads/writes XML on the smartphone.
Hmm...You are editing it with an app you made? Any chance you can PM me the source and maybe I can figure it out from there. My best bet would be that you are forgetting to Close() the file, creating an access issue...
I'd be able to give you a better answer if you send me the code
Alright...when I was running my hero, I learned an extreme amount of developing. Since the hero was HTC, a lot of what I've learned seems to be relevant to the DINC. Now the programs I used was from a posting made by papa smurf called everything Android. Some of the programs don't work and are now are outdated. So my question is, if any dev has the time, could you share what programs(or even a posts to a thread you know of) you use for things such as :
xml to text and xml editing
creating flashable zips and signing
Everything else I already got programs and know how to do. I would really appreciate it.
Apktook and dsixda kitchen. These are two great tools at our desposle. Apktool can be used to decompile an APK. The decompiled APK can have the XML decompiled into readable format witjlh it. Dsixda kitchen can split boot images, repackage zips, unpack system.img. just check em out.

For the benefit of newbies developers that want to venture into Android app development, here's a packed up .zip with all the tools you need and a readme.txt to guide you step by step on what to install and what is used for what....
Also included a sample stupid program I wrote just for fun while beginning to learn the tools which includes API to read from resource image and an asset sound file. That should be the fundamentals API you need to create an extremely simple app.
good luck!
I cant post in s/w development forum due to being a newbie so posted in here instead....
You forgot to attach zip archive.
