Is there a way to resign the APKs generated by Googles App Inventor? (if you change, say the icon)
Couldn't you just use the testsign.jar?

I don't know what this is.
You mean I should change the name of the apk to testsign.jar? Or is it something I should find somewhere?

Thanks for nothing.

...be nice. He was trying to help.
Ok, so I just done a search for "testsign android" and the 1st link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
.... I think that'l help.

No. Helping would be saying "You do this "insert explanation". Just posting that is trolling. He might as well have posted "oil platform, platypus, beetle" it tells me nothing, and I have no idea what it is and searching for it is no help at all. As always if people don't want to help that's fine but they should shut up then.

That thread is about making a theme, I don't want to make a theme. I want to sign an apk (actually I want to change an ICON but someone says you have to sign the apk whatever that means).
(Also note first line: "you will need a working knowledge of android, adb,how to resign apk's" - I don't have that, I don't have that, I don't know how to do that!)
Anyway, unsubbing this thread.
Perhaps the problem was using "sign" in the subject.
I shall make a new post with a more newbish title.
@Kermode
You want to do something, but don't want to get knowledge on how to do that, because this is too much for you. Not everything could be explained in two words.
If it means reading hundreds of threads with hundreds of irrelevant and offtopic messages, yes then it is too much for me. If it meant reading a concise page with only relevant information, perhaps it wouldn't be too much.
And whilst two words are enough for nothing, everything can be reduced to a relatively short core meaning.
Ok, I think easiest way is to:
unzip apk file
find and replace an icon
remove META-INF dir
zip everything back and name it as *.apk
sign it: you could search for testsign tool or look here: http://d.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html . Most important for you are "Obtain a suitable private key" and "Sign your application with your private key".

PEOPLE like you really piss me off on forums...you dont bother looking up information like you should, your very disrespectful, and from what ive seen your an all around! Sorry for my language MODS but someone has to say it. You should learn your spot and if you wanna learn how to resign then look as there are plenty of threads. You just want someone to give you everything and do it the easy way. Sometimes in order to do things you must do your homework which apparently you cant do.
For the way you acted to the other guy i would suggest that NO ONE help this guy and let him learn how to do it by himself Since he pretty much just said he isnt gunna look through threads he wants it handed to him(look at the post above)!
PEOPLE like you disgust me!
@OP:
Sufficient responses have been provided to an improperly titled thread.
XDA is about knowledge and experiences whilst using a particular device, application, or custom (tweak) work. As such, you will encounter numerous posts in threads that may provide less relevance than others within the same thread - it is your responsibility to "filter" past such posts ... this is no different than any other Forum you may frequent.
Additionally, there is an option in your profile to view up to 50 posts/screen page ... this greatly helps filter more content at once.

It is the link to the thanks button on the first post of this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12058344
But it contains *his* "security token" meaning it will only work for him.
If he follows the link, the post gets thanked. If we do, nothing, because we are not authorized to thank on his behalf.
He only has 4 posts so it could be possible
You can't exploit the thanks system like that.
We are smarter than you.
That is all

There's no risk there. That security token only worked once, for HIM. But yes, you correctly diagnosed what he was doing
The structure of this ROM Work-In-Progress Topic is incredible! If Epic devs and chefs were as careful about formatting their OPs and providing information as the OP of the linked Topic below, I would imagine it would cut down on the unnecessary posts, wasted time, headaches, etc. associated with supporting the userbase and fans of said devs' respective products. But then again, I'm probably giving the LooneyRats of XDA way too much credit!
Team Hacksung's ICS port for Galaxy S
P.S. Some of you might be interested in reading it more for the content than how pretty it is, hahaha! Very encouraging to hear that ICS for the SGS line is being worked on, even if it doesn't directly affect or help us much.
P.P.S. If any of you would like help or suggestions for clarifying your Topics I'd be glad to help. I'm kind of a communications nerd, so I geek out over making things as concise and informative as possible. (I'm probably a bit overbearing as a Squad Leader in BF3 as a result, TBH!)
I already try to do that - go look at the SRF1.1.0 thread, and noCIQ to follow - but believe me, people still repeat dumb questions, don't read, don't search...
I definitely agree that things need to be formatted better, cleaned up, and the like - but I don't think it will change the state of noobery. </cynicism>

How about you start by publishing accurate changelogs and up-to-date links. Then we can talk about formatting.

Well said, sir! I agree, noobery/Loonery will persist, but I feel very confident that clear, concise, informative OPs/Topics will cut down the BS at least a little bit, and also help spread knowledge even among the experienced people here, developer or not. (For instance, I dabble in Java, but I am not a developer. However, I enjoy reading all the technical stuff you and the other experienced devs post, whether it's in an OP or 300 pages deep.)

We can go about this one of two ways as I see it:
Basically k0nane's politely suggested method : you supply me with all the information you can think of (such as changelogs, which I, along with k0nane and a few other people, consider very important), then I'll format it and send it to you.
I create a shell or outline, then you fill it in with the appropriate information.
The more I think about it, I think Option (2) would be best, and in fact I'll post the shell where any devs can copy/paste it, fill in what they need, cut what they don't, and tailor to their needs. However, it's late here and I tend to nit-pick my posts, which means this could easily be an hour-long-or-more project, so I'll do it some time this weekend. Fair enough?

Hi @designgears,
I've modified your script a little and given it a third option, to also include a couple of extra files that are needed in the newer firmwares.
Do you object to me making it available to the community now that you've closed your original thread?
Of course all credits remain with you, it just helps those who need it as I've been hit with PMs about how to get the newer versions working.
I've had to notify you in this way (creating a thread) as it says you do not receive private messages any more.
Regards,
RavenY2K3

Maybe he doesn't frequent the note 3 thread anymore.
Track his latest posts and reply there
Last post he did was in a Nexus 5 thread, I've been told by mods I cannot post bugger all unless I get his go ahead, even if I rewrite it from scratch as it's still his method if you know what I mean.
So I have added something extra, to what was already a great tool to help people, but cannot release a thing.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I mean, maybe you can post a couple requests in his Nexus 5 thread just to make sure he's seeing your messages.
Atleast we'll know whether he's intentionally ignoring or not.

"Just take it, casually "rewrite it", call it something else..."
do you know how many have been banned for stuff like that?
I also see the OP has thanked you, I had come in here to give the go ahead, but you guys are ready to kang things and call it good.
So, for now, no, the license stands as is.

I think you are the complete opposite of what XDA stands for in the name of Android development. No sharing. No help. No assistance. Just lock up your own code for some Internet fame.
I don't even care about vega as my knox is tripped.
It's not right that you can just say, "okay this code is now licensed under xyz license" and then you don't even offer support? There is a difference between a kang and a rewrite...
What do you gain by licensing it? I read that you stated it's because you don't want to support the other kangs or something? Well, nobody expects you to.
You are just hampering development for this device.
Just my two cents and not meaning to be a personal attack but I just don't see your motive.

@designgears
It wouldn't have gone up, after the mods filled me in on the "Ins and outs" and even if you'd have stayed away, I wouldn't have posted it, I got PMs for it, but didn't disclose anything, because I "respectfully" understood why.
Even if you had have stayed dark, it wouldn't have been posted without your permission... it would have been annoying as hell, but not released.
As for the comment above, I thanked because I can sort of see what he's getting at about the code, rewrite it another language, it becomes something different that achieves the same result.
The fact you've reopened the original thread, has restored my faith in humanity

Good Question.. I just Uninstalled it using Root Uninstaller and now i can't do any payment on installed apps, because it crashes and error pop-up saying theres no billing system
So in my thought I think that is the primary universal payment app for samsung phones.
