Hey everyone. I flash MIUI on my phone today (newest version). I've run into an issue with installing non-market apps, whether it is through MIUI FileExplorer, pushing the .apk to /system/app, or with adb install <namehere>.
This is the error I receive: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Does anyone know how to fix it? All the solutions I've found are for people writing their own apps in Eclipse, etc.
The app I modified is GenieWidget.apk. Even trying to push/install an unmodified GenieWidget.apk yields the same result: failure. Anyone know what's up with that? I've never encountered an error like that in all my years of messing around with Android.
dumb question. did you check the option to allow non market apps?

No need to be rude to someone trying to help you.
If anyone else got this, it was most likely due to not wiping /data prior to install. This latest version is updating both MIUI version as well as CM9 base version.
For what I know, Google apps must be signed by Google, if you resign them, it always makes some troubles, so it's better to not modify manifest.xml, then there's no need to resign. Just push your classes.dex and resources.arsc, etc. in the original apk. (Original = Google signed - you can check it in cert.rsa)
Peetr your comment makes sense. But if that's the case, why would an original, unmodified GenieWidget.apk not even install? Honestly I think it was just because of the bad build from Th3Bill. I'm trying his new build that he just uploaded and hopefully it works out better!

Th3Bill, even with the latest MIUI build you've pushed out (which is working great, btw), I still get the error when trying to push any app (modified or unmodified) to /system/app.

Go to Jokersax.com and grab my blank cwm.zip. Put the file in there, set the permissions in the updater-script then flash it. With any luck, this will fix it.
I've had no issues with apps...I test my mods of Camera.apk on there that way (stock build is only 5MP).
Let me ask you this...what are you modifying in the app? I usually use apktool, decompile, make edits, recompile, then extract those edits and put back into the original apk, overwriting the existing files.
Hope this helps

Yeah I'll try using your blank cwm.zip. I'm modifying just the widget background so that it's transparent. I've done this before with the HTC Hero the exact same way, and it's worked all the time. What's curious though is that even the non-modified GenieWidget.apk won't install. That's what really baffles me about this.

I do know that some of the Genie Widgets didn't work with MIUI....I ran into this issue back a while ago. I may have one on my computer. I'll check it out later and if I have one that works with my phone, I'll upload it to you.
If you have my Options Chooser, I think there's a working one in there.

Here is an apk for Google Talk that I have hacked to work on the NC. Rename /system/app/Talk.apk to something else and stash this one in there.
http://www.muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/Talk.apk
You WILL need a different keyboard other than the stock one! This one is great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9826968&postcount=11
Known Issues:
App exits immediately if you tap on a contact's avatar. This is because the contact management dependencies are not available on the NC.
Thank you very much. It works well.
I'm curious... what did you modify to get the Talk.apk to work?
Could you post a link on how to replace the keyboard? I think you rename the new one latinime.apk and place it somewhere...

No, you need to go to /system/app/ and rename LatinIME.apk to something else and then install the multitouch keyboard APK I linked to and reboot. That's it.

Did you also apply the hack to enable Gmail and Android Market previously posted by Mistar Muffin? I believe those steps are a prerequisite to get GTalk to work.
Hmm...this is where I am...gmail/market all set, original talk application didn't work, so I renamed the talk apk's to end in bak, so they wouldn't be running in the background.
I've renamed the other two back to normal, and have slid the apk from this thread over into system/apps. I can't install it from the unit (not allowed anymore since the gmail/market install)
Talk doesn't appear in my app list. Is it because I haven't installed the apk? Assuming this is the case, if I install it using adb when I get home, that should clear thigns up, correct?

OK. I'm going to assume that you have remounted the /system filesystem as read-write since you say that you renamed the original Talk.apk. Really no need to rename it as it is not an original system binary and it doesn't and will never work.
So, with /system read-write, copy the NEW Talk.apk into /system/app
Change it's permissions to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).
Reboot.
works great. thanks, muffin!

can permissions be changed within root explorer?
on vending.apk, for example, long press to get to the permissions option. Theres a 3x3 grid with 'read' 'write' 'execute' as columns and 'user' 'group' 'others' as rows.
edit: dont mean to get off topic but my market worked when i checked all the boxes in the row 'user' then rebooted. so maybe that works for talk as well.

I renamed them to .apk, from .bak. I had changed them rather than moving or deleting them, and meant that I had renamed them to their original names. Which still makes no sense...lol.
I didn't think to change the permissions...I had it sitting at rwx-r-r, swapping to rwx-rx-rx did the trick. Thanks for putting up with stupid questions, your help is greatly appreciated.
Link issues
The "talk.apk" link doesn't work for me; I've tried copying and pasting the link on both Google Chrome and also on IE9, chrome says the site doesn't exist and IE does nothing (acts as if I just clicked the refresh their default homepage).
Discontinued. The latest versions of all previously supported ROMs have this functionality built in.
This gives you an over-scroll glow when you reach the end of a list.
I really hope you knew that before clicking on this thread.
Example if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's just a modified framework.jar with modified files allowing the over-scroll to work and the correct glow images assigned to it. Theming is very easy, just colorize the over-scroll glow pngs in framework-res.apk. The default is orange.
What I want to do with this thread is sort of have a place where you can find the over-scroll enabling mod for every popular ROM for our phones. If you think I should support a ROM that I currently don't, then please post in the forums because I read every post! Ask to put a ROM on the wishlist. Upload the ROM's framework-res.apk and framework.jar files and I'll work on it when I'm not busy with school.
Currently, the wish list is:
Stock KH7
[Update on 10/15/11] UnNamed v1.0.1 compatible files uploaded. Give them a try. Honorable mention to quarlow
Installation:
BACK UP YOUR OLD FRAMEWORK.JAR
Because I'll just laugh at you if you complain that your phone won't boot up.
>>>ADB:
Code:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework/
cp framework.jar framework.jar.backup
exit
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
>>>ROOT EXPLORER:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
Okay, now you can theoretically do this, but why would you want to? You'll get lots of crashes and might mess something important up.
Go to: /system/framework/ and rename framework.jar to something else. Go back to where-ever you saved my modified framework.jar and copy it over to /system/framework/ and change the permissions of the new framework.jar to match the old one. I'm pretty sure it's rw-r--r--, but don't quote me on that. + Restart your phone.
Simba501 has a more indepth tutorial on how to install this mod through Root Explorer here
>>>RECOVERY (preferred):
Flash the one specific to the ROM you're running
Whatever method you choose, know that it will take a stupidly long time for your phone to boot-up. Don't worry though, it'll be worth the wait.
Yoderk created some cool themes for the over-scroll glow for Cognition Beta-4 which you can find HERE.
UnNamed 1.0.1 works with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 as well.
Also, please remember to say THANKS if I helped you!

It's there if you REALLY need it. I haven't tested it and to be honest, it's been a very very long time since I made my last CWM compatible file. Maybe it works though, try it out. If not, then use one of the other methods.
Fine work sir! Works well on Cog Beta 4.

Working fine here. I'm technically on Beta 1, but I've manually added the components I wanted from each Beta update because there were things I didn't want.
I have a suggestion. I don't know why everyone repeats that method for using root explorer. That's a terrible way to do it. I always use root explorer to manually replace my files and have never experienced any issues. Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing modded files:
1. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (in this case, system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. In this case, the permissions are RW-R-R, which in root explorer, means that the first two boxes on the first line are checked and only the first box on the next two lines are checked.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and that the permissions also match what it is replacing.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .

Thanks! I added your tutorial to the OP.
Well if your like me and hate orange! Then here are two framework-res.apk with a blue and green overscroll color. Just rename them to framework-res.apk and overwrite the original file in system/framework.
Do not forget to back up original file! I claim no responsibility to problems.

Yes. Those need the tw-framework to be modified and I haven't taken a look at those yet since I'm trying out Perception for a couple of days and that already has it coded in? But it isn't a problem per-say, it's just how Samsung decided to code those specific apps and there isn't a way to implement them in 2.3.4 without breaking the slide left to call, slide right to message, feature. 2.3.5 Roms have that built in on Samsung apps.
Problem probably isn't the best word.
Thanks for answering though. I always wanted the overscroll but having mixed bothered me.

There's a leaked 2.3.5 ROM for the i777 but personally I'm using designgear's Perception which is a port of a i9100 ROM and it works perfectly. I'd recommend the latter since leaked ROMs tend to have problems.

Choose to post this here, instead of the General Section... God I could only imagine the issues. If you feel it needs moving, then by all means.
De-odexed the ICS system dump. This wasn't my system dump, as I don't have a Prime yet, so hopefully everything is here, and if there's a app or two that isn't stock, well.... not my fault.
I started doing each file manually, then got to the app folder and saw over 100 .apks, and was like hells NO, so I went the automated rout. The only .odex file I couldn't get to deodex was the Dictionary.apk/odex (that's why that .odex file is still there); kept throwing a boot class path error I couldn't resolve. If someone can get that .apk deodexed that would be great; if not, I doubt it will hurt anything.
Hopefully, all is working correctly, like I said, I don't have my Prime yet, otherwise I would have tested it. But as always, make a backup of the original files.
Since we don't have a recovery to flash this yet, guess we'll have to adb push it.
If you're gonna try it out, let me know if it works or not. Haven't tested it yet, and haven't had to deodex a system in a while.
Don't forget to either delete, or rename the .odex files to .bak, still in your /system/app & /system/framework folders too.
P.S. I am not responsible if this bricks, soft bricks, or makes your device explode!! in any way. Remember you choose to install this.

Yeah, alot of the stock apks won't decompile.... these are old anyway. If you really want to theme something, get into non-stock roms, the systemui should decompile just fine with those. Also apks like the camera, you probably won't be able to decompile or recompile successfully. Apktool / apk manager still has a lot of problems with ICS apks.

Let me start off by saying that I have a condition known as "Sausage Fingers"...I am pretty much unable to use any keyboard I've come across due to the tiny letter keys...Luckily the stock blur keyboard suits my stubby little appendages.
My question is: Is there a way to get this keyboard to work on other ROMS as I have tried and it won't work. I'm experienced in phone development and have done all the things necessary to get an installed keyboard to work...to no avail. Must the APK be modified in some way?
Maybe...

You need a deodexed version of latinime.apk from blur and that needs to go into /system/app with the proper permissions.
Then you need libjni_latinime.so from blur and that needs to be put in /system/lib with the proper permissions.
Reboot and see if it works. Either way you need more than an apk, you need a matching lib.

Hi.
Sorry, I wasn't sure if it should be in "Themes", so I posted in General.
I've got neo V with root made on .42 (with ZergRush) and .62 stock fw installed via OTA. I was trying to change the number of desktops in Home.apk. What I do, generally:
1. Decompile Home.apk
2. Edit "number_of_desktop_panes" in values/integers.xml
3. Edit values/styles.xml to avoid compilation error (as advised here).
4. Edit DesktopModelManager.smali (as adviced here), but there's slightly different code (different line number and variable (?) name).
5. Recompile, replace with /system/app/Home.apk
The replace process is 100% good, because restoring original Home.apk do not cause any problems.
I do it from adb. I made the /system/tmp/ dir and given it 777 chmod to do it faster (without /sdcard). I mount /system as R/W, push Home.apk to /system/tmp/, change chmod to 644, then replace /system/app/Home.apk with it. Sometimes I try "sync", sometimes not.
It works only with stock Home.apk.
The problem is with recompiled apps.
I tried:
- xdaAutoTool
- ApkMultiTool
- ApkTools (from here)
- ApkTools (from here)
I also tried signing the app and not signing it (as mentioned here).
I also tried installing another launcher (GO Launcher EX), changing it to default, then replacing Home.apk, then changing again.
I also (huh) tried recompiling the app without any changes (except the one in styles.xml, without it, compilation would not succeed).
I also (getting boring) tried skipping the .smali edit.
Nothing works. If I replace Home.apk without reboot, the Home button doesn't work (single press) and if I was on the desktop when replacing app - it becomes black, no dockbar, nothing.
If I reboot - the phone freezes on SE logo, fortunately I can access it with ADB - when I replace Home.apk with stock one, the phone boots in a couple of seconds without a reboot.
I've got Win7 Professional x64, the newet JRE and JDK for x64, tried newest and older apktool.jar, smali.jar and other files. ApkMultitool was working on the yesterday-updated Android SDK folder. And I have no idea, what am I doing wrong... Do you have any ideas?
EDIT:
- earlier I successfully replaced SystemUI.apk with the changed one (Ultrans v2b) - no problems here
- I've got locked BL and I didn't install any recovery

Like I said, I tried it (ApkMultiTool). Decompiles, recompiles, signs (or not) correctly. Just the .apk doesn't work.

I had no idea, compile and decompile didn't report any errors so I assumed it should be OK.
As I never changed apk with dependencies, can you explain me two things?
1. Which files from /system/framework should I pull and where to place them before decompiling with ApkMultiTool?
2. Will files from framework be changed or are they only needed as resources and are left untouched?

Honest it's been months since I used,
decompile with dependency ie framework-
Res.apk then change stuff
Then recompile and in keep folder remove what you changed including resources if xml were changed hopefully you get what im saying

OK, I think I got this - SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Home.apk decompiled with dependencies from this file, then I changed it and compiled. Still the same thing.
Maybe the res file was wrong? Or should I sign it with ApkMultiTool?

You were right, thanks. I must have tried with the wrong file earlier, because I was quite sure I tried framework-res.apk - and I didn't. And yes, the app should be signed after build.
Now, the Home.apk is working with my changes, but only after this little "hack" from Chainfire.
But I've got another stupid problem - the only thing that doesn't work is the "Photos and Videos" widget... I think I'll give up...

Thanks, but in case of widgets I don't even know, where to start from. Why the hell only a couple of them doesn't work now? Photos and Videos, Music Player and Timescape Widget - I think that's all. I have no idea, where it came from :/
EDIT: OK, now I have an idea, but it scares me. As I can see, the only way to compile and run the .apk was to remove
Code:
android:sharedUserId="com.sonyericsson.home"
From AndroidManifest. Now, if I understand properly, the widget needs Home.apk to HAVE that ID? Because logcat says:
Code:
W/System.err( 3399): java.lang.SecurityException: Requesting code from com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.photo (with uid 10004) to be run in process com.sonyericsson.home (with uid 10138)
Long story short: WTF?!

android:sharedUserId="com.sonyericsson.home that's the problem try replacing the compiled resources in a fresh apk
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
I tried removing the same ID from AndroidManifest in PhotoWidget.apk, but it didn't work.
The only thing I've managed to get to know is that no widget from com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.framework will work and also that I'm not the only one, who has problems with it

Forgive me, but I don't understand. Can you explain it?
I'm unsure what your trying to do but if you get the resources fileand any thing else you changed from the home apk that you made,
and then put IT inside a fresh home apk -ie new untouched home.apk
this should help with what you're saying your problem is

OMG, I did it
First of all - I didn't understand you at the first time, about resources and "new" .apk. Now I think I got it (not everything, but enough to get this to work).
The problem I found on my private PC (earlier I was using other PC) was the "Sorry thats not the dependee apk, try again" error when trying to decompile Home.apk with framework-res.apk. It didn't happen before, but I was so tired with all of that, I wanted to try the shortest way, so here's what I did:
1. Decompiled Home.apk without dependencies
2. Made some changes I wanted to make
3. Just compiled the app, answering "y" for question about system app, but without copying "additional files".
4. Replaced resources.arsc file inside original (stock) Home.apk with the one from just compiled unsignedHome.apk, installed and...
- working Home.apk - checked
- working widgets - checked
- happy me - checked!
Thanks!
Your wellcome
