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

The page of the forum, and link to download are all in Hebrew. Maybe I will figure out how to patch a link to one of the versions of the fix-script, but would this be any good for you?
The script it self is in English ofcours. I have no credit for the script. I'm just a User!

Dear dark lastat,
Clasicaldude who is the main developer of the right to left oriantation script, asked me to let you know, he will start a new thread for this script, in ,XDA in a few days. Look out for it.
It has a problem with our g3 cause it is supposed to work on the phone while in recovery. My recovery doesn't have com to my comp' through USB.
Maby you will make it perfect

Access Point Names

Hey If You get frustrated by entering the apns again and again i am having a solution for rooted galaxy 3 users.
just replace my apn-conf file with your native apn-conf file and reboot once .
file : http://www.multiupload.com/L9WXMGDNPN
After doing this open settings -->Wireless and networks -->Mobile Networks-->Access Points Names press menu and select restore default option and You are done.
Now insert any sim and your mobile will automatically retrive apns

Thanks a lot !
im so tired of having to enter it again and again

/etc/apn-conf.xml/
Replace this with the one in this post..

I would suggest using APN Backup & Restore app. Works fine for me. (;

Apn name list for indian users..
Vodafone- www
Aircel- aircelweb
Uninor- uninor
Reliance- smartnet (reliance smart) / rcomnet (reliance gsm)
Docomo- TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Bsnl- bsnlnet
Airtel- airtelgprs.com
PS: names are case sensitive..

Go in /data/mac.info. I dont exactly remember the file but there would be a file which would have mac in its name and it will be the first file... Edit it and save it after that delete the .bak file also

As a workaround, this could be done with a init.d script.

no they dont
you'll have the same MAC address even if you flashed roms, or flashed stock via odin
MAC address is in the hardware embedded in the phone, and its hard to change it without the high risk of hard bricking the device

Does anyone knows how ?

I've been looking for the same thing. Idone a bit of reading up on WPA_supplicant.conf last night, and managed to get ad-hoc mode activated, somewhat but still working on it.
It shows the "ad-hoc activated" warning but haven't managed to connect properly yet..
the original WPA_supplicant.conf file looks like:
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=wlan0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
p2p_listen_reg_class=81
p2p_listen_channel=1
p2p_oper_reg_class=115
p2p_oper_channel=48
device_name=SAMSUNG_MOBILE
manufacturer=SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS
model_name=SAMSUNG_MOBILE
model_number=2012
serial_number=19691101
From what I could gather you need to add:
Network{
settings in here
}
an example config and explanation here:
google: wpa_supplicant.conf, example,
(an example ad-hoc config is near the end of the page)
May end up having to edit the WPA_supplicant itself I'm not too sure yet but I'm going t keep hacking away for a few days to see what I can come up with, any help would be appreciated!
