This is my tutorial on how to sign and zipalign apps for publishing:
If you run an app in Eclipse or Android Studio, it is signed with a standard debug certificate. This is perfect for testing. However, do never release an app signed with the standard debug certificate. Users will be able to install the app for just 365 days and people can easily decompile your apk.
Signing is an easy way of preventing this and to identify the developer. You will not be able to upload an apk signed with the Eclipse or Android Studio debug certificate to Google Play.
Signing means creating a keystore which is a container for your keys. Then you will create a key and sign your application with that.
You will also need to zipalign your app. This optimizes the apk in some ways.
These two things can be done using Eclipse and its export wizard or Android Studio. This will sign and zipalign your app:
Eclipse:
1) Develop your app.
2) Open the project in Eclipse and select Files -> Export.
4) Select "Android" -> "Export Android Application":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5) Choose the project you want to export:
6) Select "Create a new keystore". Enter the location of the keystore and the password and confirm it:
7) Enter the name for the key, a password for the key, your name and the validity (the period of time users will be able to install your app for):
8) Select the destination to which the apk should be exported:
9) Click finish.
10) You are done! :good:
Android Studio:
1) Develop your app.
2) Open the project in Android Studio and select Build -> Generate Signed APK...
3) Enter the path of the keystore and hit Create new... :
4) Enter the password for the keystore, the name for the key, a password for the key, your name and the validity (the period of time users will be able to install your app for):
5) The form will be filled out automatically:
6) Select the destination to which the apk should be exported:
7) Click finish.
8) You are done! :good:
Some tips:
Keep your keystore at a secure location and do not tell anybody else the passwords. If they knew the password, they would be able to decompile your apk and sign it with your certificate. Everybody would think that you are the developer. So keep your key secure.
Sign all of your apps with one certificate. It will be used to identify you. You will need it for some features like two applications sharing one Dalvik VM or a data directory.
Remember: You will not be able to change the certificate after releasing it through Google Play once.
Happy coding!

If someone else has your key and the password, he will be able to sign his apps with your key. Everyone will think that it is your app. If there is malicious code, you will be responsible for it unless you can prove that it is not created by you.
If someone has just the password, he will be able to decompile your apps.
And for mailing: It is a security risk because somebody could hack your or the other one's account.
So keep your keys and passwords secure.
Btw, thank you for helping the others when I was not at home. :good:

That means that it asks for the path where the keystore should be created.
Check my screenshot.
Since some days i use android debug keystore to sign my app's test builds. And then i transfer it to my phone. But when i try to run it after installing Im getting contineous force closes! Any Idea? Want me to paste the logcat? Im sure that there is no mistake in program. because the app runs smoothly when installing from eclipse.

Good Idea for an app!
I tested some things especially to delete system apps.
The program says "Succesfull deleted system app" or so..
But it did'nt, all programs are still there.
Also after a reboot they are there and I can open them.
Tested on HTC Desire with Z-rom v0.6 test
Tried to delete: Stock.apk and eReader.apk and soms other things.
Back-up worked. Nice to add Backup for NEW apps in it!
Some work to do!
Goodluck
thanks for test.
Are you have installed BusyBox?
I fix it after 1-2 hours, and upload update on market

I don't see why it would be against the rules, he's offering the app for free on the market and wants people to test/promote it. It would be better suited in the Apps forum however.
It seems to work fine for me, everything i tested works as it should.

I also take it from the standpoint of its the first of its kind I've seen. (and I have been searching). I have not seen an app that will make an export list of what i had installed. He made something that I wish I had thought of/could do. I've basically been using 99% of my TI backups list to do what I'm going to download his app for.

I like the concept of this app, tho i havent tried it yet.
so it will back all of my user apps into 1 apk, which i can just install the 1 big apk and it will install all of my user apps??
That seems very convenient if true, for us crack-flashers

Install Ubuntu on your Galaxy Ace without wiping your android OS!
First , download this (Sorry , the link is dead), (it is the original ubuntu.img after all the steps have been completed so you dont have to install lxde or vncserver or set anything up. this is ready to go.)
While you are downloading the file , search 'android vnc' on market ,download the first thing u see (it's a free app).
After you finished download , extract the file and put BOTH of the file to your sdcard.
Now, open android terminal or adb , it doesn't matter (adb is easier to type)
Type this:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/chubuntu
when you are done , the '#' will becomes '[email protected]' and you are now on Ubuntu!
**DONT CLEAR RAM /EXIT TERMINAL DURING THIS PERIOD ! U NEED TO LET IT RUN IN BACKGROUND !
There are one line like this in the output :New 'X' desktop is localhost:*
Now open the android vnc u hav downloaded:
Nickname : (whatever u like)
password : password
Address : localhost
Port :590* (if ur localhost:1 , then port:5901)
Colour Format:24-bot colour (4bpp)
and click connect then u will see the Ubuntu UI!
Found the screen is too big ?
Press menu and hit 'disconnect' , go app drawer and click terminal emulater , u can use adb too if u havent close it
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry width×high
If u type 480x320 then the Ubuntu screen will fit ur ace screen
And now u will notice that the output : New 'X' desktop is localhost:*
The * has changed (eg:5901 to 5902)
Remember to change the port number in android vnc and connect again !
Clear ram (exit terminal) when u dont want use Ubuntu
It's just a installation , figure it out urself since I'm just installed it today and I'm a newbie too
You can view this site too: nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-android/
To edit timezone:
go termital / adb (when u are in ubuntu 'localhost')
type :
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
===========================================
Sorry that the link is dead, can anyone who have the file can upload for me ?
Or who have a premium mediafire account and can lend it to me as with free id, I can only upload 200mb file each time but this time is 4xx mb file.. =(
Thanks in advance

If you want GUI Ubuntu is not for your ace. Don't install it if you don't know what to do with it. GUI is pretty slow. I use the terminal mostly which is fast . I compile and run my C++ programs in the terminal.

Since it is a full linux environment unlike android I wanted to utilise to its fullest.
You can easily install gcc and c++.
As you do in ubuntu..for example apt-get install g++.
As you know g++ is the gnu version of c++.
Installed Ubuntu on my SGA and everything was working as expected. Had to mount some partitions from the phone so i could use it (i.e. /proc). WiFi working, ssh, and i manage to compile aircrack-ng for the lulz... Stoped playing with this after finding i couldnt inject packets with aircrack-ng.
VNC should work also since its easy to run any X session. Phone lags alot doing anything else.

Build.prop Tools is a library that makes it easier for app developers to edit the build.prop file from their applications. I decided to make this library when I needed to edit build.prop from within an app I'm developing and I couldn't find a library to make this simple. So, after I had worked out how to do it and tested the code in my app, I made it into a library, because I think this will help quite a few developers.
Project on GitHub: https://github.com/Tezlastorme/build-prop-tools/
The download link is there on the project page, along with the source.
The methods are all documented, and there are a couple of wiki pages, an FAQ (it's not a very long FAQ :silly: ) and a tutorial.
Bug reporting
Do not report a crash unless you have read the FAQ, and when you do, post a logcat, preferably errors only.
I CAN NOT HELP YOU WITHOUT A LOGCAT.
I hope this helps people

Currently, no. Before the release, in the prototypes you could, but it was really buggy and would do things like deleting build.prop or making it empty or unable to open. I have no idea why. I made it so it copies the file to sdcard then reads it and that works fine. Maybe I could see about doing that without root. I might experiment more some time but I've been busy with school and other things lately.

Thank you for the update.
There is a problem of distorted display.
Just add this line that comes from the previous version:
mode con: cols = 124 lines = 35
at the beginning of file tool.bat
Not tested the new faetures yet.
Thanks again.

Back in June of 2010 Daneshm90 gave us the Apk Manager. Since then various versions based on this have come up here and there. Most common was the Apk-Mulitool which many are familiar with. Well since Neither of these have been updated in quite some time, along with me getting tired of cluttering my C drive with apks and decompiled apks, I decided I need to do something about this.
So I present to you the Apk Editor which is based on the original Apk manager - original thread here and also Ptmr3's Deviant Manager - original thread here
For now this is based on the apktool 2.2.4 but will be updated when needed.
So it's pretty easy to use and has been modified to work on any version of android including Marshmallow! You do not have to run this or install in C drive! You can use it on your desktop or even and external hard drive, or have multiple of them running and open at once if you wish. The only requirement is to have java 1.7 (other versions will likely error out!!!)
1.8 seems to cause errors so if that's what you're on, just do a quick downgrade. Often it's as simple as uninstalling the 1.8 update in control panel. I wrote this part again because many people don't read it the first time so by repeating it my hope is the ability to read will commence!
Features
Code:
[LIST]
[*]decompile apks
[*]re-compile apks
[*]sign apks
[STRIKE][*]zipalign apks[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE][*]adb push apks[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE][*]batch optimize[/STRIKE]
[*]more!!!
[/LIST]
Instructions:
Extract zip anywhere you wish!
inside the place-aoj-here-for-modding folder as well as the projects folder is a Delete_ME.txt file. Delete that from each folder!
next you need to install the framework from your device (note some devices may have more than one framework.apk that needs to be installed) so copy your framework(s) apk(s) to your desktop (important!) then navigate to the z-install frameworks folder. Simply drag and drop your framework(s) apk(s) onto the file "apktoo-if.cmd". A small window will open and tell you it was successful. If it just quickly opens and closes immediately that is because you didn't copy your framework apks onto your desktop like I just told you that you needed to do!
Now you're all set. Simply place your apks in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and run the ApkEditor.bat file and follow the prompts.
Tips: If you get an error, choose option 5 to run the log and a red command window will open. You don't need to use that to find your error. I have it automatically outputting to the "log.txt" file in the root of the tool.
Also every now and then it is recommended to open the log.txt and delete everything in it and then save. This will actually speed up the rate at which the log generates. If you don't and decided to let it accumulate, it won't hurt anything but you will notice that when you run the log that the red cmd window seems to run for a very long time. Just make sure the main ApkEditor.bat file is closed when you do this or it won't allow you to save.
I do not want to see posts with people posting huge error logs. If you need to post your log I ask that you use the hide tags.

@markbencze sick, bro!
@markbencze is taking over xda haha
Benczebro, you are awesome.. Thank you for this..
You got something on every burner of the stove, man. Good work.
this comes in handy, nice work
I'm working on an update guys to latest apktool 2.0.0rc4 and may push it out tonight. I will be stripping this tool of may unneeded options too. Likely will just have decompile, compile, sign and possibly zipalign. Zipalign really isn't needed so we'll see.

I'd prefer to see zipalign stay.
When I'm compiling a theme apk with my version of apkmanager, I usually compile it, select 'n' for not a system apk, sign it and then zipalign it.

I understand what you're saying. I'm still on the fence though only because for example: you are making a theme or app for play store and you want to sign and zipalign it and do so. Your apk will be rejected by google. You will be asked to use something else ie: vts, eclipse or as.
So it seems a bit redundant to keep it. That being said I may keep it still for people to at least have the option. But my goal is to keep this basic and very simple.

I know you want to keep it simple but i dont mind the options As I use them more then most I would say. IT has worked so far for me without issue. Very straight forward and simple really.
I think we tend to dunb things down a bit to much as of late.

Good point. Perhaps I'll make 2 versions. One for basic stuff and new to modding users and one one full one. Just so my inbox can avoid too many "how does this work" posts.
I'll link my git as well so you guys can just clone it to stay up to date too

I'll be honest. If you are getting pm like that then they need to do some more reading. Your directions are pretty straight forward.
is it really an editor if you cant "re" compile?

Compile and recompile are pretty much the same thing. Yes I use it all the time.
