Singing of an app is to provide a key file to that app which tells the mobile that this z is a valid android app... signing can be done by both private and public key... I guess what I told was right...

^^^^ what he said, and one more thing - you don't sign system apps. If you sign even one system app, then you're gonna have to sign all of 'em with the same key.
You mod a non-system apk, you sign it after compiling. You mod a system apk, you compile it, and you only sign if you have edited the AndroidManifest.xml else you don't.

Hello,
I'm trying to modify AndroidManifest.xml,
So I could use my edited version of APP
While I use original APP that is on the market...
> I'm not trying to publish the edit version of someone's hard work,
> And take his credit...
> I just like to have both version of his/her and mine...
I tried changing NAME, but that didn't work out...
So I renamed <manifest androidackage="com.app.android.inputmethod">
But it won't let me SIGN the apk file with the edited AndroidManifest.xml!
Someone help me please

You should be able to sign every zip file, it doesn't matter whether you have edited manifest or not. How do you sign it?
I used APK manager to sign the file...

i have an app that i created with app inventor. when i package the app and download the apk, it works fine. however, after i modify the manifest and sign the app, it just FC's on my phone.
this is the app
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18137302/MobileMotoControlPro_V3.apk
if anyone could take a look to see where the problem lies, i'd appreciate it.
nevermind, figured it out. stupid me changed the package name in the manifest
Im trying to upload a app to the market and when signing my APK`s im using signapk and I CANT do it. It says
Google Play does not accept apks signed with certificates issued by Android team. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years.
But I`m able to upload it without signing it, But then it DOESNT work it wont install.
Im able to sign it and get it to install on my phone but market place wont take it!
Can anyone Create me a key.pk8 and a certificite.pem? Cause I cant ive tried the past 5 hours. The only thing ive been able to do is make some keyfile using cmd. Can someone atleast create me one or PM me to create me one? using the Name Hunter under it.
Ive tried all guides with no luck
You should really make your own... instead of trusting strangers to handle your private key. I make my keystores using keytool, and sign using the Ant-based build process.
Incidentally: did you change the name of your package? I believe the Play store does not accept conflicting keys for the same package, for security reasons. Or maybe you need to remove the app completely and start over.
Hopefully this helps you out

Weel you said you already made your key w/ the keytool, so follow steps 3 & 4 EXACTLY. The JarSigner is part of the Java JDK, so you should already have that.

Well, it's your private key, and you don't want anyone else to get a hold of it, because if they do, they can release applications under your id. Without releasing that key to someone, there is no other way to have someone sign your apk with your private key.

How can you guys know enough to develop an app, but can't figure out how to sign it??
Like he's trying to tell you oh, it would be like giving somebody your credit card number and CCV code. The purpose of a private key is just that, it's private.
Fire Hound 8.1
compile the below source and use according to usage.
I know that I am answering a 2012 thread, but it would be useful for others too.
So i'm using a private rom. I have no problem with it.
I edted some apk like System.apk, framework-res and Settings.apk
I signed it before pushing it to system because it force close if i dont sign it
The problem is other apps that i didn't edit force close like JobManger.apk and MyFiles.apk
What is the solution for this?
Did u set the correct permissions??

I guess you should try wiping data and cache then fix permissions and reboot.

I tried deleting the framework-res.apk..
And yes that is causing the force close of some apps.
Thanks.
How can i edit the framework-res without making other apps force close?
I have edited other framework-res of other roms but this prob does not show up?

When I Extract Some Apps From Any Rom,,Apps Like Quickpanel.apk,nofrillscpu.apk,spareparts.apk etc etc.They Get Automatically Hidden Amd Are Not Shown In App Menu..
How To Do That Can Anyone Give Me Guide
to hide app from launcher
decompile with apktool
open androidmanifest.xml
find the line that starts
<application android:label=
in that line will be a drawable value like
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_browser"
delete that part of the line - dont know if you have to delete the string lable too as iv not done it before
to show the apps in launcher reverse the process
re-sign the apk once done
Are you rooted? If so, install CCSWE App Manager from Google Play. Give it root permissions and you can hide/show any app from your launcher.
