Well simply (or not so simply), how does one create a flashable .cwm file

I took a zip that was already flashable via cwm and used it as a template. Like a boot animation for instance. Inside you will find a meta info folder which I don't mess with. It tells your phone what to do with the file. You will also see a system folder which contains the proper folder structure for the file you are inserting. For a boot animation you should find system/media and inside the media folder is your boot animation. For a swype keyboard you would find a lib file in system/lib and the swype apk in system/app . I use 7 zip to move stuff from folder to folder.
Hope that helps.

you should read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928955
beyond that, just look at a cwm zip that you have on your computer with 7zip and understand the structure, then look at the update-script and try to make heads or tails of it. its really not that complicated once you understand what its actually doing.

Is there a way to rename the backup's so that if we have a few we don't lose track of which ones are which if they are different roms?
Thanks, Adam.
Take your backup and rename the folder later using rootexplorer or your pc.
edit : Any file manager would suffice to rename the folder.
If I rename it, the backup does not show up anymore in my nandroid restore list..

That's not possible. I have done it a million times before with no problems.
Which folder did you rename? You should rename the highlighted folder as shown below. See how mine shows up after renaming it.
nandroid->openrecovery->Folder Name->img files + md5 files

No clue then. Also there should not be any spaces in the name. It should be continuous.

Ah, I had spaces in my names. All good now. Thanks man, much appreciated.
I use ROM Manager and it allows you to name the backups from within the app prior to booting into recovery.
i've managed to find some Markets for the salsa which you can change once u have root access.
Non of these are made by me and were sourced from the XDA forums awhile ago. credits due to the owner!
To change these use Root Explorer available from the Market
Inside the folders are the market styles in zip form you can change to.
Instructions for replacing with a new style.
open zip file you want
in the folder will be 3 files
data /app/ com.android.vending-1.apk
META-INF
system /app/ Vending.apk
you need to copy from the data & system folder and paste them into /data/app and change the permission to this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then also copy same files into /system/app and paste in there
again change permissions to above image.
Reboot your phone to engage the new market.
In the the link below is a small amount of different coloured markets as most have disappeared off-line now.
There is an original copy in this zip file if you wanted original back again.
Markets.zip
Yeah I did answer
Edit: Well, I found out what was wrong, had to copy META-INF from original file.
Hello guys, It's the first time I use this thing and I'm doing something really wrong.
I used adb tool + apktool to pull and edit 'android.policy.jar' and 'SecSettings.apk' in order to enable AOSP Locker.
I failed and ended with a bootloop.
First I thought I messed it up my SecSettings.apk (I'd get bootloop when making chmod 644 in it, android.policy.jar didn't give me errors), so after wasting a lot of time redoing all the job again and failling again, I did a test:
A decompiled SecSettings.apk and after it I recompiled (without editing any file inside it) and TaDa, got a Bootloop, also file size changed.
I think the problem is with this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Would that be a problem because the rom is russian?
But that doesn't make any sense to me
Editing this god damn file I found it has the Weather widget hidden, I'm thinking in 'unhide' it to check if would work too!
Did you sign app?
If not do this:
Use WINRAR, open compiled app - get classes.dex and resources.arsc from it and put in old one (original, the one that you decompiled first time). Use STORE compression when you replace those files, otherwise you will probably get bootloop.
P.S. I was writing when you added that edit. That META-INF is sign.
Hi guys, here is my little collection of my home made bootanimation.zip. I wanted to share it. And if you want to show yours, this post is here for that:
Requirement:
Just A Null Rom installed or to be ROOT.
How to:
- With any Files Explorer (ex: Root Explorer): Go to /system/media
- Rename "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip_old" (for keep a copy of original)
- No make reboot!
- In USB mode or with Wondershare: Copy the "bootanimation.zip" on your SDCard
- With Files Explorer. Move the copied file to /system/media
- Reboot Now!! Wait and see...
In downloads no Wathermark and the quality of anims is better...

Thx to fOmey to allow me to use Null Logo.
Others BootAnims are coming... :silly:
Created the Original for everyone that wants it back.
For all the Doctor Who Fans. Here is a Boot Animation I created.
.
Thank guys for contrib
Ok I must be doing something wrong, It says that it is read only, anyone offer any help?
^^^ SORTED.....
Now why won't mine work, is there a file size limit?
Is anyone able to change the Bootanimation?
The Bootanimation is in system/media located.
Unfortunately I can not move my bootanimation.zip to that folder. I do have root though.
I even tried to move my Bootanimation through twrp to the right folder but it does not work.
Why is this sub so quiet?
In global ROM theme app you can change it
you can edit your bootanimation.zip in twrp with file manager. rename that to bootanimationzip.bak and then copy your new bootanimation.zip to /system/media
I don't get it... Rename it to bootanimationzip.bak ??
1)I did it through the App "chaome theme editor" from the play store.
Search for mtz files with Bootanimation on Google.
2)Then use the chaome theme editor to edit it and install it on the original theme app which comes preinstalled.
3)On the theme app choose your bootanimation.
It works like a charm even there is no preview shown.

Theme editor readme: * Stop your ads Blocker to be able to run it*
Maybe it works now
