    Problem Theming Widget

    So I have a set of widgets, but I don't really like the color scheme of the icons (they're toggle widgets if you must know =D nothing fancy). So I had the wife reskin them and I placed them back in the APKs but when I try to install via Astro it says Install not Completed.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Do I need to set the permissions as something specific? Right now they have nothing for User, All 3 for Group and Read/Execute for Other for permissions and its still telling me Application not Installed.

    The permissions for most apk's are:
    USER: rw
    GROUP: r
    Others: r

    So I changed the permissions, but I'm starting to think I messed something up and need to resign these apks. I'm going to give it another go in a roundabout way, but grrrr lol

    Anything in /system/app does not need to be re-signed.
    Just push it to the folder...reboot...and it should be good to go
    oh and make sure permissions are
    x x 0
    x 0 0
    x 0 0

    where 'x' is checked

    That works too if you want to keep them in the data/app folder.
    If you move it to system/app though, you can avoid that step of re-signing.
    Good find
