Creating APKs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys its seems big mess to setting up the things.
Im Install this or that and etc and the things just don`t work sometimes like we expect they to work.
For example im Theme Designer and i never did APK files before.
NOW i want to create a Zooper Clock Widget just for start i already did it BUT now i have to make from this Widget signed APK file in order to be distributed and all other people who use Zooper to be able to install it as a single APK
So any help is welcomed.
I read this tut: http://www.zooper.org/wp/android/zw/apk
and download all the things installed

Anyone who can help me with the settings or explain me more is there any other variant to create an APK File?
Thanks

[Q]Tutorial on how to make CM10 theme?

I know to to make a theme, but was wondering how to make use of the theme chooser in CM10. It looks like I need to build an apk but I haven't found any guides on how to go about that. Any pointers?
Try the easy way while you wait for help
Well I've been building a theme for months and there's the easy way and the impossible way, one is to extract a template theme or any theme for that matter and replace all the images with your own as long as you don't touch the .9s and use the apk multi tool (googleable) to extract optimise and sign it for you. Thats the easy way
The other is to decompile which lets you edit XML files and .9s but I haven't managed to get that to work and no amount of internet can help me. Which means no changing the name of the theme and no uploading to the market. Which is what I planned to do. But give the easy way a go if you just want it for yourself and friends etc.
I had also posted another question here on the forums trying to figure out why I couldn't theme MMS.apk and Phone.apk; one_love_420 was kind enough to respond and mentioned the same thing you did, which is to utilize theme chooser. So that is what I ended up doing. I found a template for CM10 theme chooser and added in some lines so I could also theme MMS.
one_love_420 also provided me a link to this forum post, which helps with learning how to modify the xml files and personalize the theme.

I have actually edited .9.png files before, with my old Samsung Moment. granted that was on Android 2.2 but still applies right?
Personally I preferred to use Draw9Patch and xUltimate (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700904) and Photoshop.
Here are some guides that I have looked at previously:

Thank you for your response SimBol10! Also, let me know if you have any questions about .9.png editing and I'll try to return the favor!

[Q] GO Launcher Theme Factory, custom icon via Apk?

Just wondering if anyone has had/found a solution to adding custom icon applications to GO Dev's online based Theme creator, i use onthefly to make a backup copy of app apk's in which to upload to their website, this should allow me to then change the icon for that app but every time i try to upload any apk file i get an error when annualizing the file!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Same boat.. no paddles!
Hey Jason unfortunately I'm trying to figure this out as well. Its frustrating because I have all 93 icons they suggest for you to make but there are MANY more top icons that we should be creating if users are expected to purchase or be interested in our themes. One of the main issues is .. there is NO forum for their online theme factory specifically. It seems most people would rather just program the .apk themselves. The only issue there is many of us aren't programmers and are using the theme factory for that sole reason. I'm going to make a new thread for people like us who are using the new Go Themes Factory and see if we can't get some more help with the process.

Custom Tiles to pretty stock ROM

Hi there guys and girls
I have stock Lollipop Rom, rooted with TWRP installed; I would like to add a few tiles to the very few available at the moment, also if possible reorder them..
I searched and searched, here and on Google, but the only things I found were: old old and useless method for JB, xposed module (cannot install Xposed here, it's an x86_64 CPU) and the Custom Quick Settings app, which doesn't work good for me..
So, I unpacked the framework of the ROM, de-compiled SysteUI.apk but now I'm basically lost because I don't know what to edit to achieve my goal! I can't even understand what to look for: I'm pretty sure my stuff should be in qs* xml and smali files, but it's a mess there
Do you please have any tips for me, any how-to, guide, suggestions, whatever? I take everything!!
Thanks a lor, see you!

Will this do, I would look in your SystemUI first. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-t3005222
thanks but I'm already looking at SystemUI but it's plenty of stuff there and it's difficult to change tiles.. Also the thread you linked is only for Samsung Touchwiz, you can see from the attached screenshot that shows the dialog where to pick which tiles/Quick Settings to include.. There the OP just unlock the limited number, but the rest of the stuff is already there..
