Can you please detail the step by step.?
When i tried it by signapk.jar I'am getting error while signing the apk after creating .keystore. When i Google'd it i got an info that it is already signed. What should i do to sign and install?

You don't sign it at all. And you can't install it. You have to flash it with a zip in recovery.

When i flashed the zip file it installed well in recovery but when i came to the system from recovery i couldn't find the settings apk installed.
Can you create a working signed zip file to flash in recovery for the attached apk.
Thnaks in Advance
There are plenty of tuts on how to do it yourself. The mount points are very different for each device so you will have to get a zip for your device that works and then just add your apk.

First off. No you should never sign a system APK. If you do it will conflict with the system Sig that all system apps use.
I told you once already. You cant install the apk that way. It has to be flashed in recovery.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about center clock. Well try again, it is a tricky job, and is easy to make mistake in the process. In CM settings there is option bottom statusbar so the notification icons are down . I will also try to apply the tweak, if it works will share.
Well, seeing a thread with this name I thought to just join in rather than openning a new one well, I downloaded xUltimate, pulled and deodexed the apks and....now what ? I assume I have to switch the original system files with these new ones, but how ? Sorry for the nooby question
create 2 folder on sdcard, in first copy deodexed file from /system/app, in second from /system/framework then boot in recovery, mount system and sdcard run adb and replace file in /system/app and /system/framework. After that use adb to remove .odex files form /syste/app and /system/framework.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/(noame of the folder)/*.* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/name of the folder)/*.* /system/framework
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
reboot
If i miss some command make somebody corect me.

Thank you everything works, and my rom is finally fast AND themed Oh, and for anyone reading this: because I have a 150MB system partition I had errors while first trying the cp lines, so I had to first remove the odex files (rm lines) and then use the cp ones to transfer the deodexed files

Hello!
I currently have a new tablet called the PiPo M9 but the manufacturer only gives out ROM's with the 'img' extension instead of the usual .zip
and i can't seem to open them in any way, not by using winrar/7zip/daemon tools etc.
Anyone that could help me out?

"Well this is one of the most rarest error that a person can get...but with my experience I came to know that this occurs because you don't have correct permissions set. Use correct perms in updater-script and done "
Grab another rom that is the same base you are using and look at the META-INF/com/google/android folder which contains the updater script and binary to use as your reference points. Compare and contrast yours with that one.

Should be able to. Wouldn't hurt to look at the differences though so then you can understand what things affect the install to help build knowledge.

Sorry, that was my main idea. Are you getting the same error code? Did you unzip and re-zip the rom? If so, you should use an archive manager like 7zip to move the update script into the zip without needing to unzip the whole thing, otherwise you'll break the signature on the rom and have to re-sign it.

Not all phones have adb access while in a bootloop. But to do so you would need adb set up on your computer, change directories to the adb folder (or if it's enabled globally, then where ever), and type:
adb logcat
You'll want to save it somewhere like:
http://pastebin.com/
and upload the link.
I am not skilled at reading logcats, so not sure if I can be of any more help after that.
If you don't have adb set up already, then just use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Does it work?
The firmware works, but two things are proving to be very difficult.
one is extracting system.img, i dont know what's different, but the method i used for the 4.2 firmwares just crashes now.
two, and this is a big one
rooting it..
working on it
edit: super SU 1.9.4 zip from chainfire worked. No other method works though, the superuser apk will install but the binary doesn't stick
edit 2: successfully extracted the system image
notes
hey,
if the update with the t211 was any indication, be sure to only write boot.img and system.img
i am making a flashable zip and will post after i get it right and debloated and get the script correct.
realistically, sometime tomorrow, will update.
@Restl3ss okay so iam laughing at myself right now becuase i can not get the damned thing to write. i don't use windows
so no odin. i have tried dd writing the images but on boot i hang at logo and with no adb i can't get a visual on the problem.
i have a .zip put together to do the same and get the same. i have another zip set up ota style but can't script worth a damn.
can you whip up a script and post it?
an interesting note- in /sbin is a binary file named partlink. thoughts?
Restl3ss
@Restl3ss
okay so this is the joke
i am too poor to upload a large file to devhost. :laugh:
solution - i going to upload the otapackge for the firmware WITHOUT the system folder.
the package has the modified to unsecure boot.img and the updater script which just happens to be the
same one i am using for cm11 :laugh: :victory:
these are the instructions for converting, mounting and pulling the system image into an cwm flashable zip
to convert and mount sparse .img in terminal
simg2img system.img system.img.ext4
mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /a/directory
then nav to that directory in file browser, copy the contents of /system and insert in to package.
there is also a second step to correct issues with symlinks in vendor. drop that package into ota second
sorry for the inconvenience. it's in your folder with the patches.
but hey, i'm poor.

i'm running it right now and it seems very kitkatty
If i flash 4.4 can i still flash back to 4.2.2?

Hi...
Can anyone please sign digital clock.apk for samsung 7582, I tried to sign that app but failed.
Help me please.
You don't need to sign it.You just need to enable Unknown Sources.
1.Go to Settings > Security.
2.Check Unknown Sources.
3.Put .apk in your SD card using an USB Cable.
4.Start FileManager, press the PHONE tab and navigate to the .apk then install it.
Edit:
It won't install on my device, where did you took that .apk from??
That what i am saying its not installing as normal app

Seems like you are trying to install a system application on normal way. This won't work! You have to copy the unsigned one to system/app and give rw-r-r permissions to it!

Okay. Step by step:
1.Download ES File Explorer from Google Playstore
2.Open it
3.Set it as a root explorer
4.Copy your DigitalClock.apk to system/app
5.Give it rw-r-r permissions
6.Reboot.
^ You can't really do that.
First get adb working and remount the system partition using:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw system
Then copy the apk to system/app and set the read/write permissions for it.
Then reboot.
