Installing an app through flashing? - Wildfire Android Development

Is it possible to install an app through flashing by first convert it into a zip file then in recovery install zip? Cos there are some apps I can't install just by pressing install in the system.

Yeah, there's a thread on it. If I remember you just uncompress the apk's into a zip and flash. It's simple anyway. (if not that simple!)

[Q] Noob questionnnn. How do i flash icon zip files?

Exactly what question says on title. I tried doing it through clockwork recovery, but froze on (installing updates..). Answers would be very much appreciated, thanks.
You have to unzip the file and change icons like that. You can't simply flash the zip. What launcher are u using?

Im using launcherpro right now. I figured that was the method. I went into root explorer and extracted the zip file and extracted all the png files to my extracted folder. But now im stuck on how to save them in my gallery so i custom put them on from launcherpro. But i dont wanna do all that if theres another way.

[Q] How to Extract Files from stock ROM?

I've downloaded the update and tried to install it, but the update is failing on verifying the system, because it cannot find the Amazon MP3 app. I deleted it a while back!
I've downloaded the stock Froyo ROM so that I can find the files I need.
How do I extract the apk from the system.img file???
Thanks. Steve.

Creating and un-flashing a zip file

Hi. Is it possible to unflash a zip that can't delete all the file that I flash from the zip?
And can I flash a zip that have apps that is going to be installed into the SD card and not the system?
Help please
no you cannot unflash a zip but you can delete the content of the zip directly from the mobile by going to /system and deleting those files
app 2 zip:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567614
app2zip will create a flashable zip of your installed apps but cannot install them on sdcard

The only way to unflash a zip is by reflashing your ROM and about creating zips there are a few tutorials about that in XDA so make a search.

I meant by making a zip file that can install all the apks into the sdcard as a normal app. I already know how to create a flash zip and i only can flash apks into my system/app/.

Try my backup root the basic concept is the same it creates zips of the apks as backup but unfortunately you can restore it only via my backup root.

And Why am i not able to install google apps from zip? Or any way to execute sh files inside zip?
Because it's a STOCK RECOVERY. Every zip requires a signing code to maintain amazon's security standards. So no tiny zip will work.

Understand about not possible flashing. but what about apk installation or executing sh files from zip?
