Do I sign this before flashing - Hero CDMA General

All I did was inserted a xml file. Do I have to resign it after making this small of a change?

i believe if you flash through recovery you need to resign. If it's just one APK just push it through ADB.

what was the file u changed? theoretically u could just pushed the modded file back to ur phone assuming u know where to install it in the system directory

Sorry i ment 1 xml file into a apk.
common_browse_list.xml

That should be fine.

I guess i should just try it, its not like it can brick my phone

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WAITTTTT!!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BRICK YOU PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!
ok jk
in all seriousness, that should work fine lol

LOL yeah idk why i made this thread, i guess so i don't have to flash 2 times if it don't work.

[Q] How to make modded app stay after using adb push?

Does anyone know how to push a modded app to the HTC Desire and make it stay?
Because obviously on the HTC Desire pushing files normally with adb push doesn't make them stay.
Anyone got a solution?
what do you mean it doesn't make them stay?
if you push a file to the system/framework then it will be there
if it's the same file as one already in the phone then it will overwrite it
is your device in recovery when writing to the system folder?
sorry if im missing something here

Well I modded the smooth calender app and made the background transparent and then pushed it to /data/app where it was.
Works fine and shows up how it should.
But then when i restart my phone, it's gone, not in the app launcher or widgets menu but it's still there when I look for it in ROOT EXPLORER.
try pushing the file to system/app

I've done that too, doesn't work.
Do I have to do it in recovery when pushing apps?
Because it lets me push apps when the phone is normally on.
the phone must be in recovery in order to write to the system
boot into recovery
remove from data/app and system/app the old file
push to system/app the new file
reboot

Won't install either, was the first thing I tried.
It needs to be signed and I've tried every guide possible on how to sign apk's but none of them work.
it doesnt have to be signed if youre pushing it to your phone
if only has to be signed if you want to be able to flash it
which is actually a good idea considering that adb push isnt working for you
if you send me or upload the file i can sign it for you and you can flash it in recovery

Thank you for the help.
And i was wondering, couldn't I just take out the apps from that zip file and add more modded apps then flash them?
good good
if you unzip the file and then re-zip you'll lose the sign
i think you can add/remove files with a zip manager without actually unzipping
however the update script included in that zip will only allow flashing to /system/app
note that if you toggle signature verification in recovery then you can flash everything signed or not, although this is not good if you are distributing files.

HELP: Need Build.prop from 341 Rom

Started screwing around with mine and now my phone won't boot.
Can someone kindly upload there build.prop located /system/build.prop ?
asap
thanks
extracted system.img with unyaffs..
thanks
Assumed you got it. But I will post it anyway just in case.
you know how to make an easy guide to make a clockwork/streakmod signed zip for flashing?
I ended up unyaffa the system.img... stole a clockwork zip for some other build.prop on the forum... did some drag and drop business and I was back..
but i might as well learn how to do this properly.

[MOD]Change the delay time for the bottom button lights

Hello xda-developers ! What i have here are multiple zip files to be installed in CWM .
What are they?
They are zip files which allow one to change the default time it takes for the bottom button leds to timeout .
How do i install them?
Simple Follow instructions below
For those crazy folks who always want the keys lit up when the screen is on click me and follow install instructions
Install instructions:
1. Download the attached zip file.
2. Open or extract the newly downloaded zip file.
3. Select whichever time delay you want.
4. Copy to the ROOT of your sdcard.
5. Boot into recovery mode.
6. Choose "Install zip from sdcard".
7. Select "Choose zip file".
8. Select the time delay file you copied earlier.
9. Reboot and enjoy.
Now i created a bunch of them from the same file and didnt test every single file . If it doesnt work attach the zip file you used in recover stating your issues and i will get back to you
Thanks!

Just one question; is there a way to modify one of your files to increase the delay, or even so that the lights are on as long as the screen is on?

Sort of. It all depends on which kernel you are running. The only way to keep the lights off is by changing the permissions of the brightness file but some kernel's override permissions.

If it has android on it, and it has bottom lights, and it runs NAND not EMMC, then i would say give it a shot. its not going to break anything if it doesnt work. the only thing im concerned about would be the updater-script. but if its NOT EMMC then it should be fine.

[Q] NfcNci.apk nfc.odex deleted. Cant get NFC to work!

While attempting to install one of the modded NfcNci.apk files i deleted my originals and can't seem to find downloads for them. I installed new ones from another place on Xda but im unsure if they were correct for my device and now i cannot seem to get NFC to turn on at all. I may just be installing them incorrectly, or i have the wrong files. I have no idea.
thanks in advance for any help!

If you use FX File Explorer and the root add on it will set the permissions for you on your apps. Other files like initd files and such need the permissions manually elevated but for apps like these it's automatic. Don't forget to reboot after copying the files over.

Sounds like you did the right thing. The permissions should be like the screenshot. If it's not working maybe other filed are missing, hard to say.

so i think i figured out part of the problem. I didnt use the stock rom to pull them from, it was the syndicate rom ( i apparently dont know how to read when i click things). I have the G900VVRU1ANHA_G900VVZW1ANHA_VZW.zip which contains a .tar.md5 inside. Without flashing this, using odin, to my S5 how can i access the system files to pull the apk and odex? i tried one of the guides in a thread to open the tar.md5 as a .img.ext4 and then mounting the image using DiskInternals Linux Reader but it could not get the file to open after mounting it. Now im REALLY lost as to what i should do, and im just fingers crossed that replacing those 2 files is going to enable my NFC again. (im assuming so since its all that i touched, but my knowledge in this department is limited)
thanks again for all the help, i usually just search for days for answers but with this im coming up blank!
Okay, so i downloaded the /apps/ zip from this thread and copied them from my pc to my phone. Using ES File Explorer i moved them to the /system/app/ folder. They originally had rwx rwx r permissions after the move, i changed that to rw r r and rebooted. Post reboot, attempted to enable nfc through the quick menu to no avail, going into the setting and turning it on the slider turns to green but the NFC icon does not show in the notification panel, I cant scan any NFC tags, and after exiting settings and going back into them the NFC setting has reset itself to off every time. I am now at a complete loss of what to try next.
just a ps: when running syndicate rom in slot 1 (safestrap) i was able to get NFC turned on and working just fine.
lol were you on rom slot this whole time? rom slots do have issues at times such as nfc not working..
glad my rom works for you though!
