Does anyone know how to create a .zip file that can be flashed through cwm? say for instance a .zip file that contains the cwm recovery? Any help would be great, and thanks to all in advance who reply

I want to know this too. When I take a zip file that flashes correctly and put a different file in the zip folder, like a modem for example, the new zip file won't flash.
modems are tricky in the Galaxy S line, there's been some work i've seen about flashable modems, but almost everything i've read says they always fail to flash. There are tons of tuts about creating CWM flashable .zip on XDA, just do a quick search.
Same here. I would like to create a cwm zip files that contains all my user apps. TB is good in batch mode but would be so much quicker if I could create a zip and do it after flashing rom.
Have to know how to create scripts to do this. The script takes care of where the file you want to install goes in the system. Then there is the META-INF folder.
Too complicated for me. Let us ask Noxxious.

I'm a noob at this... I searched the forum but couldn't find any information.
Could someone more knowledgeable explain to me how to decompile and recompile apk's?? More specifically the framework-res??
I read that you can't simply unzip and then rezip... so what do I have to do?
The apk's are zip files that contain the resources (icons, bitmaps, sounds, etc.) as well as the code compiled in a classes.dex file. You can replace the resources after deodexing, but I don't think you will be able to change the compiled code in classes.dex unless you have the source code.

So for instance... if I have a clockwork flashable battery mod... and I unzip that... and edit colors of icons in the framework-res.apk, then can I just save the files, recompress and it will still flash properly?
And another thing.. if you have a clockword flashable .zip how do you change it so that you can flash via stock recovery? I know that simply renaming it to update.zip and trying via stock will not work. Is it a hard process, do I need a special program on my pc??

search xda for Apk Manager

I am not sure about editing apk's. To create a flashable zip file through stock recovery, you need to have the META-INF folder correctly created with a working updater script and the manifest and certificate files that you get by signing the zip file. Look into playing with the HTC android kitchen on the chef central section here to automate that process.
Can anybody give me a loose little tutorial on how to do it for our Vogues? I wouldn't even need an animation. The point is so that I can make very simplistic boot screens

Ah, thanks for that. I only searched this board assuming it would be a different process for the Vogue

nope were close to the same the biggest difference is our recovery console, they use .zip files we use .tar files, but other than that everything works the same
even the structure of the files inside those .zip or .tar files is the same just packaged differently
Holla amigos...
I need help........again.
See, I'm creating my own rom and my base uses blackhawk. I want to change this to firekernel. I searched xda and Google but I couldn't find anything. All they talk about is how to flash another kernel. I want to know how to include it in rom before flashing. And also, could someone tell me the .XML that is used for Modding the lock screen.

Inside the flashable zip (any flashable zip) you'll find several folders and files. To see where each file gets flashed to, look inside the META-INF folder and search for a file called "updater script".
Its the updater script the one that indicates where each part of the zip will be flashed, so open it with a text editor, take notes where each file ends up, and copy them to their location inside your rom.

And at the start, through dsixda kitchen updater script was converted into update script. Is it the same? Okk. And what about including scripts, I want adrenaline engine. I downloaded the zip. Ignored the Meta -inf and copied the system folders inside the system folder of the working project....Am I right?

If you're using the kitchen its OK, you can add any flashable zip that way, copying the files and folders to their respective location inside your Project. Checking the updater script is only necessary when in doubt of where each thing goes.
Don't use kitchen's updater script and binaries.They won't work,could even brick the device.To change kernel,download firekernel and replace the boot.img in that pack with the one in your rom.Boot.img is the kernel.Scripts go in init.d

Hey. Thanks for that. Please help me out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28891130#post28891130
Hey guys,
I have a few files that need to be thrown into the system folder, and I find myself doing the same thing every time after I flash an updated ROM, using Root Explorer to manually copy and paste the files from my SD.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3168310/tether.zip
The files in the following zip need to go into:
/system/etc/ppp/chatscripts/rogers
/system/etc/ppp/chatscripts/rogers-chat
/system/bin/chat
/system/xbin/rfcomm
Is there a way I can create a flashable zip that does this for me automatically? Thanks in advance.
You can create flashable zip yourself its easy. Search xda for how to make flashable zip there are many tutorials which will do your work.
I normally wouldn't do this. I would have done like the other guy and told you to search, but I'm bored and waiting for a download to finish, so I spent 60 seconds making your files flashable. Yes, it only took me 60 seconds. It is literally that easy. Have a look around. There are lots of really good guides around XDA showing you how to make flashable zips.

Could you possibly provide a link to one of these guides as I have searched but I am obviously not being specific enough , and would like to learn and make a couple of my own.
Thank you .
SOLVED I searched with Google rather than just here and I got my answer.
You can grab any flashble zip and only have to change mount-point same as our CM10/CM9 Rom in updater-script. and will work on our TP then whatever file you want to install place it in that zip as where you want to install.
Thank you!

how I can install flashable.zip via twrp, when I install failed
Without any log or knowing what zip we are talking about, there can be several reasons. Maybe the zip is just corrupt. Try downloading a fresh copy and give it a second try.
I tried 3 zip files, all failed, can you share one zip files

I don't think taking any zip file from stranger and install is a good idea. Have a look at the general sections, locate one of the guide thread and take zip from there
Go here and follow these directions.
