I noticed there are some people here that try stuff, but don't know it all the way.
So i put together some development tools, and some main info to get those people started.
This info is no good to you if you are a user!
So if you don't understand the content of this first post, leave it.
I'm not here to teach, but to help out those who know, but need that little bit of more info.
I work on Linux and on Windows, but this info is based on using Windows 7 64bit.
Edit and/or Modify Rom.zip or Update.zip
If you want to edit or modify rom.zips or make an update.zip
Make sure you use 7zip to open an archive(the zip file).
Don't extract the archive, because the zip files are signed!
This way you can drop files in an archive, or delete stuff from the archive.

Edit and/or Modify updater-script
If you want to edit an updater-script, pull it out the zip file and use notepad++ to edit the way you like it.
Once done, safe it, and drop it back to overwrite the file that is in there.

I will add more info in the comming days, and fill it up with the anwsers given to your questions.
At the bottom of this post you'll find 2 zip files
1 is an empty rom.zip
1 is an empty update.zip
They are signed zip files, so dont extract them but open them the way told in post above.
The rom.zip can be filled with an extracted and cooked RUU, or with an existing rom that has been modified by you.
The updater-script inside is based on my sxl rom, so check if you need all symlinks and permissions.
The update.zip can be filled with apps and other files you would like to add to your current build, without flashing a whole rom.

Thats why I asked you a few days ago
All is open source, so feel free to use.
My rom is also free to use, but fully skinned

So helpful. So thanks.
I have yet to try yours. I downloaded your ROM and kernel and haven't done the ROM yet. I like the look though.

well there`s only one guy amongst us with a SenXL with S-OFF and that is a cheeky one ... the rest of us all have S-ON ... but most of us used/are using ICS (WRE 1.4/1.5) so i`m guessing you don`t need S-OFF to install it
sorry for the sarcasm but u kind of asked for it

exactly.
boot.img is the kernel. the script provided is a CWM script, and since we cannot put CWM on the AT&T Vivid, it doesn't do us any good.....yet.
I've got a phone that may or may not be totally frakked due to careless build.prop modding and have been asked to try and recover it without wiping, OS flashing, or any other methods that could potentially lead to a wipe. ADB is a no-go, but I've got CWM access. I've never needed to make a CWM-flashable *.zip before, so I never learned how. I'm crunched for time and could really just use a break. Could somebody please put this build.prop into a CWM-flashable *.zip for me?

I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks in advance!

I have tried to run this script in my Sony Ericsson Neo V because I havent found any similar script for my device.
It shows that the scripts runs correctly, but the phone don't start as normal.
I have wiped dalvik cache and the simple cache, but nothing changed.
How can I really know if the script runs correctly here?
PS: The scripts assert was enabled in the CWM and it worked, I have tried changing the build.prop you put in you zip for the build.prop in the backup I made.
Thanks you a lot.

replace in zip the buildprop of your actual device, you can take it out of any tar file with 7zip Should work, cant guarantee it thought.

Hy people, i need someone help with superuser.
I want to integrate last version in my next rom but i fail to do that.
I know that kitchen is what i need to use, but i need help with that, i tryed and after i finish, rom failed to flash.
Dont use kitchen.
Which rom are you using and which kernel?
Take super user.apk and put it in /system/app
Then,take su bin file
Set perms for them in updater script..
Just refer the root package..
I am a potato, problem?

Vo-1 cm7 based rom.
It has outdated su app and binary.
Link to rom -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837056
Kernel it will be 22.07 firekernel, because it's the best in battery life (people want that, and me to)
I will try what Prawesome sayd, then will see.
Why do you need update su binary?
New su binaries are buggy.
Instead try Supersu. Download package from chainfire's original post. And place the files as mentioned by prawesome.
well as explained above u need to place superuser.apk in /system/app & su in /system/xbin and need to set permissions in updater-script as:
set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su");
BUT
if older superuser.apk & its su binary is present in a kernel and it replaces it on /system at each boot, ramdisk in boot.img needs to be modified and newer files needed to be replaced !

Ok so this is a GoogleEars.apk upload, working (i hope lmao) for the htc vivid on 4.0.3 ported from jelly bean.
Place GoogleEars.apk in /system/app, and libvorbisencoder.so in /system/lib.
MAKE SURE TO PUT THE LIB IN THE LIB FOLDER.. without the lib, the widget won't work. btw if any of you want to know what google ears is, i believe it is like soundhound, but by google. lol

In a nutshell, Google's version of shazam

I have an old copy of the apk that doesn't need the lib file and it works fine?
I however noticed that if the song ain't for sale on Google play... It won't find the song...

OK, what is shazam? Before this gets out of control, I'll do a google search (which only turned up this thread when searching for "google ears").
OK, got it. in a nutshell: "Song recognizer." How hard would it have been to put that into the OP?
Lol @gene. Yea - Ears, like Shazam, will listen to a song and tell you its title and artist.
@xx - Here's a flashable that installs these two items and sets permissions properly. http://www.mediafire.com/?krd396p8jop7xpu
@mods - Should this maybe be in Themes/Apps, rather than Dev?

I don't recall seeing the mention of soundhound in the OP, but there it is. Guess I'm getting sloppy in my old age. Sorry about that.
As for making an installable zip, just zip it up with the directory structure intact and add a installer binary (I use the one included in the CM builds as it is usually complete and up-to-date) and script a directory as so:
Code:
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
The script is pretty straight forward:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/GoogleEars.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libvorbisencoder.so");
Thread belongs in themes and apps

I'm trying to build a flashable zip (object: install an apk through recovery just to learn) but the zip isn't working,
This updater-script is ok?
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_file("/data/app/test.apk", "/data/app/test.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/data/app/test.apk");
unmount("/data");
Can anyone provide me a flashable zip so I can use as a base, my actual isn't working.

The error is package_extract_file(" /data/app/test.apk", "/data/app/test.apk");
This is correct
package_extract_file(" /data/test.apk", "/data/app/test.apk");

Oh yeah, it's right! I didn't see the "/app". I will try again and give the feedback.
EDIT
Still not working. Can you provide a simple flashable zip?

Replace package_extract_file with package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
And edit the directory data/app/test.apk

This way?
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data/app/test.apk", "/data/app/test.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/data/app/test.apk");
unmount("/data");

No this way
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/data/app/test.apk");
unmount("/data");
And in the zip you make this folder tree
META-INF
...com
........google
............ android
.................. update-binary
...................updater-script
data
.....app
.........Test.apk
