I am not an expert, but a forum search could have brought you to this thread. It might contain some useful information.
If I remember correctly, there is a version of Morkl's EbookHome.apk which can be installed on non-rooted devices. You could try to take apart the installation package to find out how it is done. |

it was not a problem for me.. you can reverse it either way via pure smali or jartool but you have always to use the correct liblevel and provide the bootclasspath since all your stuff is odexed don't forget

there is no way to reinstall it on a non rooted device .. you must use adb and sign your apk properly.. on top remember that the full rom is odexed

There was the word that sony is using a set of cyanomod keys to sign its apps.
Think read it from rupor over at the-ebook.org, or in one of his replys to Morkl. |

If you are only interested in localizations, you could as well ask Morkl or rupor to integrate them in their packages, so other people can benefit from your work. |

Since my first reply on the subject we discovered that those are exactly the same keys Google included in every Android SDK released, so I removed keys.txt. In SVN however build_all.cmd lists key names Sony used to build each of the APK files I know about...
