Guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Is there a rule/accepted practice with apps to use in ROMs? Obviously cracked versions of paid apps (if such things exist) or apps reverse-engineered out of HTC ROMs are probably out, but could we (for example) build a ROM using Launcher Pro? It's free, and generally available on the market, but might the dev get annoyed that people aren't downloading it from the Market and adding to its download count?

Im not too sure i guess it is "open source" but dont hold me too that, ive changed some Launcher_pro apps myself, blue and pink versions, there on the Dropbox. But ill take them down if its not supposed to be there etc. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Totally wasn't aimed at you mate - I'm thinking about possible future uses. To me it seems like you should be able to release a ROM with any free apps in it you want - but just want to see what anyone else thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General rule would be to check licensing terms, and if unclear contact the publisher / author. Free apps are not necessarily free to distribute. Launcher pro's market page says that it's based on the stock android app - if that means the code is derived, then it should be released on the apache 2 license = open source. I don't know if the source is actually released anywhere, but if it's apache 2, I would guess it's okay to use in ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Williamson Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Just about to upload a Custom rom based on Paul's r7 Do not install! I need help with it i have changed the Launcher.apk file in system/apps changed some .pngs to blue, signed the laucher deleted original and .odex, Re signed the rom installed after complete wipe but Force close after setup and Blank home screen. Would be helpful if people could take a look at the files that ive changed in the Launcher.apk and system/apps and tell me where im going wrong thanks.

Would be helpful if people could take a look at the files that ive changed in the Launcher.apk and system/apps and tell me where im going wrong thanks. Dan :( It could be that signing the Launcher.apk failed for a few files. Have a look at the MANIFEST.MF file, and check if every file is listed there, with an base 64 string MD5 checksum. If you find a file that isn't signed, that's the problem (if so, I've written a tool that calculates those checksums :o ). Although I think you wouldn't be a able to flash the ROM if one application file is not properly signed... :( Best regards, BigBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, they'll be added and their checksum will be generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow thanks that would be great :( although not sure if you saw the edit but i may have found the problem, although there may be others missing, its just that those were the files that i edited.

Guest BigBearMDC Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Hmm :/ could there be any other means to signing rather than java testsign? Dan Sure. I wrote a small tool that was meant to do so, but I'm stuck at generating an RSA key with .NET 4.0, using a private and public key. Basically testsign does (or is meant to) do two things:create a SHA1 (sorry, not MD5) checksum of every file and save it in the MANIFEST.MF filecreate a duplicate of MANIFEST.MF (CERT.SF) and encrypt it with a RSA key (-> CERT.RSA)I successfully got the first part working (generating the SHA1 checksums), but I'm stuck at the RSA encryption =/ But testsign should work once all files are registered in the MANIFEST file.

So could we use your tool to do the first part, then testsign the second? it seems silly why testsign would do that :/ Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whats standard nowadays, I have 20gb a month all I am saying is that we need to be sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
