How to make the flashable zip with apps For easy installation of apps after flashing rom

You can take one who exist already!

Link of one (mine), you open it with Winrar or other compressor software (ex:7zip), you look inside, you see some folders, normally META-INF (don't touch this!) and you see "system" folder, inside, there is other folders, you keep just app (if you need just the app folder)... then you put your application inside.
That's all!

Just keep your new bootanimation.zip in /system/media folder as you have found out by searching.
Since while system booting it searches in this folder for presence of bootanimation.zip and if it is not there then it will use default bootanimation. Thats why you will not find anything to replace in /system/media folder.
[This works at least in Andro-ID RC2, check out in stock too. ]

Does anyone know where to find the Power-on sound for the Wellcom stock? I deleted the splash screen, and I can change the bootanimation; it's in hidden/data/power-on-animation; but I can't find the sound file. It's not in the same place.
So far I haven't been able to find it by searching with Root Explorer either. I can change the bootanimation, but I'm still stuck with the stock sound.
The only way I've been able to get rid of the sound is to insert a line in the build.prop file to get rid of the bootanimation altogether; that silences it (but then there's no boot animation at all). Does anyone know where Wellcom put this?

anyone get polaris office working on xoom?

Hey,
Has anyone been able to get polaris office to work on their xoom? I installed it and was able to view one document before the force closes started raining down. Now everytime I try to open it I receive a forceclose.
Just wonderin if anyone else had any better luck?
I have it working

You need to copy over the app it self to /system/app and copy over the lib files to /system/lib then you have to change their permissions then reboot in order to get them to work. I mean change both the app permissions and the lib files permissions.

That's a negative
As I said, I tried it on my rooted Xoom, but also on my non rooted... no need to copy over the lib files.... thus, there's no lib files in the link I quoted, just the *.apk, and it's enough
Worked like a charm like any other apk...
I think there must be different apk floating around then because without a doubt as I have done this on my rooted Xoom and helped a number of others they ALL forced closed when you tried to open any doc new or old. Then you install the two *.so lib files into system/lib. After that everything work perfectly. I and others I helped were all rooted and were using root explorer to move files etc.
Tochiro is the only person I have seen that only had to install just the apk. without getting fc. I can only think there must be dif apk or some how ended up with those files in the system/lib folder other than manually moving them there.
As I said, I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17935619
At first I tried with the apk from my Galaxy S2 on my rooted Xoom using the lib files tip, but it wasn't working
With the link up here, I installed Polaris on a Xoom with Tiamat rom, and on another one (non rooted) with Android 3.2 (firm GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTFR_P014)
From now, I just tried quickly with some pdf files and xlsx xls files, but everything was fine

[XT860] Resolv.conf

I did a google DNS change on my phone before I realized that I didn't make a backup of this file and was hoping someone could send me the original contents of this file to make sure I have a backup in case I ever need it. Thanks in advance!
I'd like to help, but I don't seem to have a /system/etc/resolve.conf file. (Unless thats the wrong path)...
Also, I'm on an XT860 but am running the ME863 Chinese ROM. Let me know if there's a way I can help.
give me a few and i'll have a link for you

When I opened the file it looked like a binary file. Shouldn't it just be a regular txt file that you can paste onto here?
I haven't a clue man. When I tried opening it all it had was a bunch of weird characters.

Just checked the system backup I made a couple of months ago and it didn't have a resolv.conf file.
Thanks everyone!

Fix: Wi-Fi for Illuminated Rom, FALCON for D2105

Guys I was just experimenting with these two ROMS and i found a FIX for Wi-Fi. on The Illuminated Rom( By the Kid). The problem lies in the "data" folder of Rom.zip file.
Steps for fix:
1. Open rom.zip and delete the data folder from the zip file.
2. Add the data folder of which i am giving you the link below, in that rom.zip.
3. Flash it.
Probably due to the wifi customizations made in the data folder previously, it was not working. but it worked for me.!
And also The i found out that in XperiAOSP by the KId, the settings.odex file is present in the system/app/ folder. I think that maybe the problem. it should be deodexed. And try this wifi fix on that also. the files are the same.
Link for data folder https*//drive*google*com/file/d/0B6Yp9LLnb7apN01sQlNfZS0waG8/view?usp=sharing
i have given data.rar . Extract it to get data folder
Sorry for interfering with your files, Ramdenes, The kid
it doesn't working
the download link that you give don't have a folder, but a file without any size
and because it's my first time flashing a custom rom i want to get it right.

That is the point. i created it(the file) using Android kitchen. if you have just downloaded the file.Then make a folder, "data". Open it. Create another, "local" and place that file into it. OR you can just download the data folder i provided.
It worked for me.! Without a problem.
got it
but where is the download link for the full data folder,
i can't found it :s ^^

did you flash the rom after replacing the "data" folder in the rom??
Note: this is not a flashable zip anyway,.. you have to replace it with the "data" folder in Rom.zip

Need System Folder of latest firmware

hello! I had a request for anyone running stock odexed firmware (.291)
Can you pull the system folder for that version and upload it for me? Thanks!
Edit: with odex files pls!
P.s. I need the untouched version without root. Thanks!
HERE are stock ftf firmwares. Choose one and download it.
Rename *.ftf to *.zip and extract a file system.sin using 7zip.
Open Flashtool, use function "Sin Editor" to convert system.sin -> system.ext4. Then use this to "save" /system folder.
There are some files *.sqsh that contain .odex files. this sqsh file link to odex file of the app. Use 7zip 16.04 to extract *.sqsh file, you will see odex files
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
Eg: odex.app.sqsh contains all odex of /app folder.
Extract sqsh file and copy odex file to folder (ex: copy AnonymousData.odex to /app/AnonymousData/oat/arm/, then you have stock AnonymousData apk with odex file . )

Thank you so much! I am learning to deodex my ROM myself.
I will try it this weekend.
But aren't the odex files generated when you run android the first time?
This is wierd
EDIT: I downloaded the ftf from flash
tool and expanded it. I do not see any files *.sqsh files in any folders . Just empty

I dont know this much. But odex files arent generated in system partition. They create odex file in system partition for faster first time bootup maybe.

Ok thanks. I'll try once i get home
I checked it already.
Hope this can help you .
If you want to fully deodex your system, there are 2 more sqsh files. /system/etc/product/ and /system/etc/customizations/.
and there are 2 more odexed app with odex file: /system/vendor/app/ims/ & /system/vendor/app/ChromeCustomizations/
-----------------
There are symlinks between /system/$app/*app_name*/oat/arm/ and odex.$apk.sqsh/arm/*app_name*.odex
So the odex file show in folder is a shortcut from sqsh file. Sony made this
