Overlays signed with apksigner is broking the package installer so, I should suggest to don't use this script

[budchirp]

If you want to build overlays and you don't have a computer, use gcloud shell its free.

Overlays signed with apksigner is broking the package installer

If placing overlays to /system/product/overlay as mentioned in wiki about building overlays, they work as they should. Plus, even overlays built with signapk rarely can be installed as user applications

Overlay signed with apksigner (build-termux.sh)

Overlay signed with signapk (build.sh)

They work but in my case apks that build with this script brokes package installer also you shouldn't install overlays as user app.

apks that build with this script brokes package installer

I couldn't get it, but what is package installer here for? Or is there any other way to test overlays other than putting them to /system/product/overlay (or /system/app/treble-overlay-xxx-systemui for SystemUI overlays) with using rw system or Magisk magic mount?

Hm, at least for testing right on the device with placing to /system/product/overlay or magisk mounting they do their job. By the way, phh suggested (in TG) to try signapk or apksigner. As result, signapk isn't available as termux package, nor Java version works correctly. In result, I've switched to apksigner for this case as PC isn't always available and for testing these apk files do their job as expected

Package installer installs apks. Try installing a apk or installing an app from playstore with a overlay generated with build-termux.sh

[budchirp]

Btw, Which device do you have?

[TechnoStone]

Try installing a apk or installing an app from playstore with a overlay generated with build-termux.sh

I'm using Nokia 8.1. Currently using both framework and SystemUI overlays built with this script. App installations work fine, both apk and playstore variants

[budchirp]

Interesting. This issue did not only happened to me. In my case overlays build with this script works but I cant install any apks but phh's build.sh works perfectly.

[TechnoStone]

By the way I haven't tested this script's behavior outside of Termux environment. There were Termux GitHub release installed, done pkg upgrade, pkg install git xmlstarlet aapt apktool apksigner and this repo downloaded to /sdcard/git
Perhaps outside of this use case something can be broken. I don't have any other ideas about that

[budchirp]

You can use gcloud shell to build overlays even you can ssh into them.
