[TOOL][GUIDE] Release key maker and auto-signer / how to add java to your path

Release key signer
This is a tool I made for myself and figured I'd share it with everyone
what it does :
1 makes you your own set of release keys
2signs an apk with those keys
3zipaligns your apk
4signs zip files with your release keys
You need to have java in your system path if you don't know how then follow the guide in the second post.
What are release keys? release keys are what google and other corps. use to sign apks and update zips. It's also required to sign an apk with release keys to put them on the market.
How to use:
1ownload release key maker from here
2: unzip anywhere then put your apk (you must remove the meta-inf folder from the apk) into the unzipped folder
3: Double click the batch file and follow the steps
Part Two
This other upload is just an updated version it doesn't let you make the release keys it already has them and the keystore password in the batch file. It also signs zips with a test key because signing a zip with a release key seems to mess some things up.
Download part two here
simple right?
thanks go to:
Papa smurf (for spreading the info)
Darchstar ( I just like your roms)
Regawmod
JAguirre1234

To do:
hopefully add the ability to not have to enter your password when you sign an apk
other stuff

2.Copy the Play Music_trans.apk and GoogleEars_tranp.apk files to your device.
3.Install ES File Explorer File Manager on your tablet from the Play Store. Those already experienced with using a root-enabled file manager can go directly to step 5 and skip step 4.

Then go down and tick the “Root Explorer” option, then press Allow/Grant button when prompted to grant it root access. Then, tick the “Mount File System Option” as well. Once all three options are selected, press back to exit the settings.
5.Browse to where you copied the Play Music_trans.apk file, long-press on it, select Copy. Then press the Up button on top till you reach the outermost folder (till it says / at the top).
6.Then, go into /system/app folder, then press the “Paste” button on top to copy the Play_Music_trans.apk file here. Important: If you see a file named Play Music.apk inside /system/app already exits, first rename the file to something else to back it up before copying the new file.
7.Then, long-press on the newly copied Play_Music_trans.apk file in /system/app, and click on the Properties button. Then, click on the Change button in the Properties under the Permissions section.Change to RWRR.
8.Then press the OK button to change permissions.

GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC
GOOGLE EARS
Is there anything noticeably updated with these apps? I'm sure I'll try them anyways..
What BG are u using? is it a LWP??
Trans? Are you telling me that the music player widget from Nexus 4 is actually transparent, or has the .apk file been edited?

[Guide] [Root] how to gain Temporary Root - Sharp Aquos 304sh

304sh root
First of all, im considered "new" in this forum, so forgive me in advance for formatting mistakes, etc
ive seen people asking for root instruction for this phone
it exist, but you need to pay someone for it, however in this guide i managed to compile an easy way to gain root access
(albeit not permanent)
(i have written this guide in my country's local forum and google translated most it since im too lazy to rewrite them all)
How to :
How to root 304sh (s0028 tested) (temporary root)
Use 360 ​​Root (apk)
this is not a permanent root solution, when the phone is restarted the root access will disappear & must be re-rooted (there is possibility of failure - my solution is to reinstall the application)
how:
1. download the application & open it, click the root button (big button middle of the screen)
2. if the rooting process is stuck in 75% dont panic, wait for a bit then exit and force close the application
3. re-open the application & and the application will re-root (manually or automatically - random luck really) & will eventually reach 100% root process
if a prompt appears containing supersu application, press the left button , (right button disables the app) (doesn't affect anything, since it will use 360's own superuser)
4. try downloading root checker, and when the root prompt appears, select the left button to grant root access (right reject)
congratulations you have root access
No pic hoax? okay challenge accepted
proof:

}
*if you pressed the right button by accident open the root application and press the button that contains the word "root" (or an icon that looks like a keyhole), open it and in the root application list, click the right side of the application list then select the green option for grant (red to deny and blue for the prompt_
* this application could install other 360 applications, this for "optimization" or a custom lockscreen, you can delete them without side effects
* SuperSu cant be used, it will show "su binary occupied", the stock 360 superuser is fine though
also dont ask me for "permanent root", since i dont know and im trying to find a solution without paying someone to root it
(most of the time you want to unlock the bootloader for a possibility of a permanent root, the thing is, its almost impossible to get in the bootloader/recovery even with ADB in this device)
