thanks for replying , but how to use . if you know please instruct me by details .
Its just like Explore or My Computer in Windows. Its not hard to figure it out, if you have problems with understanding a file explorer then you shouldn't be messing with your phone.

Where to find the META-INF
Hi guys,
I would just like to know where to get the '' META-INF'' folder?
I have rooted my Xperia X10i and I have Root Explorer.
Thanks.

Open root explorer. Find the file which you want to move/copy, hold your finger over it and from the popped out menu choose moce/copy. Then 2 buttons in the bottom will appear. Navigate to the root folder or where you want to put the file and pres the move/copy button below.

Please, explain what exactly you want to do?
Meta-Inf is the signature key in all apps. To see it just click an apk in root explorer and press view and all the files/folders of the app are there. Why do you need to find the signing key? Are you modding an app? If you change or remove the signature the app won't work until you re-sign it and you'll need to fully uninstall before reinstalling the modded app. If you don't know how to use an explorer you probably shouldn't be trying to mod and sign apks.

Okay,if I want to change my theme,then there are 3 folders(the new themes folders) wich I must replace in the root with the old one.(If I understand correctly)
The one folder is ''app''
the other one is ''framework''
and then theres the ''META-INF'' folder
I replaced the ''framework'' files with the ones in my root and my phone
restarted and after it restarted it just keeps restarting.
So,clearly I did something wrong?
Okay,I think I figured it out.....
I must first copy the ''app''
then open the app in root explorer,press view,and copy the META-INF files
then I can copy the framework files?
Is this correct?

Not entirely sure about it with framework but with any other app once you modify anything the meta-inf must be deleted and the app resigned. The meta-inf is the signature and once the app has been modified the signature no longer matches and so it has to be deleted. You can use the app 'signapktic' to resign apps once you remove the original sig. System apps I know don't need to be signed though but the meta-inf still would seem not to match once its been modified. I've modded plenty of apps but never the framework so I'm not positive on the signing requirements/procedures.

Hey all, Well i know we could not wait for a Honeycomb theme, i know i cannot, but heres my conundrum.
I have made a honeycomb keyboard, but cannot get it to install for the life of me, ive used the testkeys, shared, platform, etc (all using Signapktic from Stericson. Does anyone have any clue as to why it will not install?
A few questions that i know you might ask, answered ...
No, there is no other keyboard, other than swype, and samsung keypad..
I made it off of the GB keyboard...
Yes, I have made many of themes, many of changes to Frameworks, and have had sucess installing, and running my custom roms....
My question basically is this, IF POSSIBLE, CAN ANYONE SIGN THE FILES I HAVE TO MAKE THIS WORK? PM ME AND I SHALL SEND THE FILES. CREDIT WILL BE GIVIN, I AM ON THE OTHER HAND GOING TO NEED SOME SORT OF PROOF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING, I WORKED REAL HARD ON THIS, SO FOR RIGHT NOW ITS PRIVATE, HENSE THE PM.
THANKS AGAIN IN ADVANCE. REMEMBER .. LETS GET THIS HONEYTCOMB GOING
I know that most of the keyboards dont work simply by installing but rather need to be pushed to the data\app or data\app_s folder depending on which rom you are running. You can accomplish this using adb or using a file explorer like RootExplorer.
Thanks
Thank you man, this helps a whole lot. Now do i need to re-sign each apk inside the rom folder? or can i just re-sign the .zip?

I'm not sure what .zip you're refering to other than a CWM recovery flashable .zip for you keyboard. If this is what you mean, then use the same signiture (key) you'd find in any of the flashable .zips on the forums. In other words, just copy over the META-INF folder from some other .zip to yours. Of course, you'll want to make sure the update-script in this folder is pointing at the proper directories for installation.
For your apk, you should only need to sign it if you changed the AndroidManifest.xml. Otherwise, just keep the META-INF folder from them original apk.
Hi every one , I need to rename only the installed apps ( downloaded ) not the system apps . I tried like 10 app managers and they all capable to rename the system apps not the downloaded ones.
so please tell how to do that .
thank you
Any time you modify a non system app the apk needs to be re-signed which is why no app you've tried allows you to modify them. You can probably do it manually with an app like root explorer and then sign it with the app 'signapktic' I'm not sure where all you have modify it to change the name though. Why are you trying to change the names anyway?

thanks for replying, I got it now and the reason I want to change the name of the app is because on the home screen doesn't show long names
Hello do anyone know if it's possible to copy keyboard from one rom to other rom? To add a language.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk
yes its possible. but need to know which apk is the keyboard, also the lib associated with it.
I'm trying to find out about moving the keyboard as well. How to move the lib and the apk to system\app? I don't have root explorer..
what keyboard do u want to extract from the rom?
Hmm i didn't extract the keyboard myself. I got the DioChinese IME from a forum.
I just installed coderomv2x, but it does not have the chinese keyboard, so I downloaded it but not sure how to move it without rootexplorer..
well then, if just wanna remove stock keyboard from rom, just use titanium backup. uninstall/freeze it will do.
also if that diochinese keyboard u got is flashable zip file, u can just flash it via recovery.
Sorry but I'm new to this, so I don't really understand what u meant by flashable zip file. I have the apk and and .so files (which are the library files rite? :S) Is there a way to move these files to the system/app folder? How else do I install the keyboard? Thnx!
copy the apk to /system/app and the libs to /system/lib then give proper permission. permission for both the apk and libs should be rw-r--r--. then just reboot ur phone. u need to rooted ur phone and using any filemanager with root capability like root explorer to do this.
Thanks, i found Super Manager from the market and used it to move the files. How do i enable permissions? By using the superuser app?
dont know about super manager because never use it, but if using root explorer is long click on the file>Permissions. and it should look like this
Hmm icic my files appear as rwxr-x, and i can't seem to find a way to change the permissions...but i went back to the apk file and tried to install. It installed and the keyboard now works, but i think the handwriting mode got prob.
when u enter any filesystem folder using root explorer, on the upper right corner theres a button that showed "mount r/w", click it until it shows "mount r/o". only then will u be able to change the content of filesystem folder.

First off i use es explorer, its free and better than root explorer. Secondly try using apk manager on your pc. That should help.

Do you know? Please tell then.
Keyboard apks normaly are top of the list and end in ime for instance AxT9ime.apk and if you deodex you can take libs from the apk its self hope that helps.

Requires Root access
Those who like the lock,unlock and screen selection sound of s3 can use this..
Download the zip file extract the files from it.
using software like root explorer copy the files from the folder in which they are saved to system/media/audio/ui replacing the old files and change their permissions to rw-r-r reboot enjoy
Or use the flashable zip and flash it using CWM...

I can't modify anything in the UI folder. When I try to replace or delete or copy old files out or new files in it still says EROFS (Read-only file system)
I am rooted tried both Astro and ES Explorer. Thanks
If your rooted, in root explorer you'll see the option in top right corner to change from read only.

For ES File Explorer - Press Menu button, Settings, scroll down and tick "Mount File System" (mount /system as writable) option. Then you can edit the /system folder.
Worked perfectly! Thanks guys!!

Am I the only one who finds an amazing simularity to this unlock sound and poop hitting the water in your toliet?
I have a note ii, first thing I did was turn that off, I am looking for a replacment currently.
I really like that,But can I ask was this sound got the samsung camera shutter sound?(I like that actually,and sorry for my english xD
Hi. Is there any other ways to overwrite those sounds in UI folder on my galaxy s3, unrooted phone? I don't know, something like download mode or kind of. I don't want to root my device because I have 2 years warranty period. Thanks.

Thanks Buddy!! but will it work on MIUI based ROM?
Is there any chance we could get the icons and the clock widget of the Vertu Ti?
That is, if anyone is willing to shell out 5K on a phone just for the sole purpose of extracting .apks from it.
If you guys tell me how I can extract the apks.

If u have a Ti(obviously),then first i think u need to get it Rooted (sometimes stock recovery does it too)in order to extract a widget that came preinstalled,then after u root it,use root explorer to go to system/app and then look out for the widget.apk's ..
Similarly,for the icons,look for the app in system/app(using root explorer, and then copy the .apk to ur sd card,put the file on ur desktop,rename it as a zip file,extract it .
Then go to the folder called res,then drawable-hdpi and all icons will be there in .png format.
But all this is useless if u havent got it rooted,because I think u wouldn't risk to lose warranty on such a phone..
Hope this helps

It helps, though there's no root solution as of now. I don't know where to start for the root, technical support won't help. Neither will the internet. There's already a topic on XDA but no solutions.
I think you don't need root for this.
Enable USB debugging, install phone drivers to your computer, then do adb pull /system/ path-to-dump-folder.
interesting...

I've yet to find appropriate drivers to connect to ADB. Whatever I do the phone also connects the MTP at the same time even if PTP is chosen. Any help would be much appreciated as I'd also like to backup the device via ADB. With the latest updates the phone is now running 4.2.2.
If I am not wrong, Root explorer does work on non-rooted phone.
you can access the /system partition for copying stuffs. (as you can understand without root it will only work in 'read only' mode).
Hi,
I was able to root my Ti using farmaroot just google it fairly simple method. You can also unroot to with this tool which is a plus. But I would like to know how do I access its recovery? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Somebody own Vertu here?
You can extract system apps quick and easy, without root, without any risk using this tool: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui&hl=en
