Update.zip signing

Dear Members, first of all hello to all..
I'm trying to create a update.zip file that removes the default applications that samsung puts on Samsung S and installs one or two more.
But I'm having a problem with the signing of update.zip
I have the struture:
system\app\xpto.apk
META-INF\com\google\android\update-script
and now I know I have to sign it but I dont seem to find a working tutorial, I've read some with signapk.jar and others without it...
Can someone plz point me in the right direction so that I can accomplish it?
Thanks

There is an app in the market by stericson called 'Signapktic' that allow you to sign your zip file via the phone too. Require root though..

How did you manage that..I take it your phone is rooted...must be to mess them up right?
Just download the stock ruu from the dev forum..extract the file on your PC..find the two files..save them on your SD card and move them back to there original path using root explorer from the market (its not free) but Its saved my ass a few times.. This should now fix you files..
Note it will not let you replace them until you change the r/w in root explorer (top right hand corner)

Another way would be to flash the complete ruu.zip file using clockwork recovery.
Either method will fix your files..if you have clockwork then I guess this maybe easier...Make sure its the correct ruu!

Help.Music Player problem...

Help me to solve this please. in the list of Music player there are a lot of sound files from the cache of gameloft(asphalt).how to do that there wouldn't be any files like these in the list?

Even i had this problem ....
This happened when i put those data file in internal sd and installed the game via a 3mb .apk
To avoid this i directly downloaded a 77mb .apk and installed it.
This is not a solution but one method to avoid them

Put a
".nomedia"
file in all those folders for wic u dnt wan the media files to b detectd.
There's r many apps for tis in the market for tis.
I personally use Gallery Excluder of MrFloppyCoding. Ntn special bt gets d job done!

I think he's talking about the plant versus zombie. that is only game into my know have direct 77 mb.
If u have low memory problem just put that app or game in system app folder then Os will auto locate resources to it.

Not sure what I'm missing here. I copied the files to the system/app folder and rebooted. But still I see my old wallpapers.

That is the first thing I did. It first asked confirmation for replacing a system app. When I gave 'Ok' it says 'Application not installed'. Because of this only I tried copying the files to system/app folder.

You must be looking for this....

This is not the one. I'm talking about the Nexus One's default wallpaper, which will be available in LG P500's stock froyo ROM also. I think it will be available in the first set of apks you provided. But I'm facing the issue of installing.
Anyway thanks for your help mate. I'll try to install those apks somehow.

Try Nexus Revamped Pro on Market.
And what about Microbes live wallpaper from Nexus? It has been ported to SGS, so is it possible to have this in OO?

My edictionary folder was still there on the SD card after i moved from Stock 2.2 to CM7, Which is why i didn ot get the above error. The problem for my case was solved on following the steps above.
