how to get my *.zip file signed

[Shorte85]

For someone who doesn't know what they are doing in words of never done this before. What do I need to do in order for my *.zip file to work on the android phone?

I know that I probably need the *.zip file to be signed or something in order for the phone to recognize it. My question is, what do I need, how do I do it to get the *.zip file signed in order for the smart keyboard to accept the *.zip file that I had created and what not.

Please help me, I am stuck and getting irritated.

Thanks...

No, you need nothing special, just make sure the file names are correct (android file system is case-sensitive), and post your zip here if you don't know what is the problem

Here is the zip file I am trying to use, not sure what is going on. What I did was I took one of the skins that were provided on the board and downloaded it and placed it on my phone, along with one that I had edited and zipped back up and placed on my phone. The one that I got off of here worked, however mine wasn't found in the list. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The zipped file I am trying to get showed up on my phone is the one uploaded with this post.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I would appreciate it.

OK so the problem is simple: your zip contains a subdirectory "FlowerBlue", but skin.xml (and the rest) must be at the root of the archive!

Hm, so instead of zipping the folder FlowerBlue, I have to zip the contents within the folder. Right?

[cyril]

yes (and it works, I've tried)

[Shorte85]

Yeah, thanks. I didn't know that, here I was thinking it had to do with something about signing it. Again, thanks I appreciate your help.

Now I'm stuck on creating the images needed, I made another post in a different thread that was already started.
