INITIAL SETUP:
* Transfer the .cer and the .key file to your phone. If you don’t already have them, here’s how you can get them.
* Install the application on the phone memory or the memory card/inbuilt storage.
* Open ‘Free Signer’, select options and then Settings.
* Come to the fourth option, ‘Sign Cert’ and click on it, then navigate to where you have placed the .cer file on your phone and select it.
* Do the same for the .key file. You should now see a screen like the following one.
* Next simply hit ‘Back’. You are now ready to sign unsigned applications on the phone itself. Please note that you will need to do the above only once.
SIGNING APPLICATIONS:
* In order to sign a unsigned file present on the phone, click on ‘Add Task’ and navigate to where the application is located. Once you reach the file, hit ‘Options’ and select ‘Add’.
* You will then be presented with the following screen, simply select ‘Sign Sis’ from the options.
* The file will show up, waiting to be signed. To sign it, simply hit ‘Options’ and then ‘Go!’.
* That’s it, your unsigned application will now be signed without you needing to use a computer. You will be able to find the signed file in the same location as the original application. A ‘_signed.sisx’ extension would have been added so that you can easily identify the file you can now install.
