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!)
Can anyone guide me (or convert) how to make the firmware.nb0 as update.zip ? Easier to use update when on CWM
Install nb0 file of any firmware. Then do a nandroid backup using CWM
Or
Use dsixda's kitchen from development section and follow the guide.

Hi friends i've modified contact.apk but i dont know how to sign it. I will be thankfull if someone can do it for me...
Wrong section man, please use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1480
signing is easy than modifying
You do not need to sign it, it is a system app and you cannot install it. Just make a flashable zip and flash it via CWM. If you do not have root, you are out of luck.

Move it to system/app/ and set permissons then reboot

Download the zip in the attachment, open it with 7Zip/Winrar whatever you use, put your Contacts.apk in the system/app folder (watch for the case, the names are case sensitive) and the save the zip. Put it on your SD card, reboot to recovery and flash.

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.

Make sure you use Notepad++ to edit the updaterscript. If you have problems. Take an updater-script from a working rom and see if it flashes successfully.

Copy the entire META-INF folder from any rom and paste it in your rom's zip.
EG- If your rom is based on cm7, copy cm7's meta-inf
I copied META-INF from Adrenaline ROM
And it didn't work
assert failed:raw_boot_img
Could it be a kernel problem (boot.img)
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Which boot.img are you using?
You need to use a boot.img from a custom kernel, stock boot.img wont work.
Mate Upload Your Rom and PM it to me and i'll look at what is wrong if u like.
Are you sure you never used any of the Dsixda kitchen tools?
Because they are not compatible with the Ace.
Plus, I hope you never converted it into update-script.
Is your rom CM7 based, or stock based?
Im using stock boot.img
I thought it would work... I don't like custom kernels like nims or CF-Root.
As soon as I get home I'll send you ROM.
It was originally update-script and changed with dsixda kitchen to updater-script.
Stock based

So that's the problem.
Dsixda scripts are not compatible with the Ace.
did the stock rom u are basing this rom on have a Meta-Inf. or was it from a system.img

After creating zip usi.g dsixda kitchen. Extract zip and copy meta-inf folder from.other rom and replace. Stock kernel wont work. Extract the zip of any custom kernel, copy system folder and boot.img and paste in the root directory of extracted files of rom. Zip back everything. It will work.

So I just replace boot.img with a custom kernel and start building from that?
or after creating the .zip I also have to copy the META-INF from another ROM?

Just replace META-INF in your rom with META-INF from Blackhawk(if stock rom) and make necessary edits.Your rom will work perfectly.I personally haven't had any problem by using stock kernel.
POTATO!!!!

Ok. Read carefully.
After creating the zip via dsixda kitchen. Close it and dont touch it at all. The follow the steps from my last comment.
Buddy.
Just upload your meta-inf..
and i'll look into it.
Got this problem before , it's because the assert command in updater-scripts do not support boot.imgs larger than 4MB .
Just remove the assert() and replace the commands in the proper format (replace commas at the end of command with semi-colons) as well as grab a proper update-binary , your boot.img should work .

I'm working on a Samsung Galaxy GT-B5510, having the same problem trying to install custom ROMs and kernels. All failing with the same error you describe here. However, when I edit the script and rerun it, it does not throw an error but it looks like the kernel is not replaced. The only thing I didn't do was change the update-binary. What do you mean by a "proper" one?
Thanks.
