[App] App 2 zip flashable apps backup

App2zip does not work for all the devices, it's still experimental and not widely tested, so first of all, especially before backing-up something important, make some test to see whether it works for you (e.g. open App2zip and put in the flashable zip some apps you don't really care, uninstall them and then restore the zip via CWM recovery).
---------------------------------------------------
App2zip allows to backup applications directly to a zip file flashable via CUSTOM recovery, you can build your own update.zip on the fly, no need for PC.
ROOT REQUIRED!
Building your flashable zip is easy:
1) Choose the apps to be included in the zip file
2) Click GO! and wait until the zip is done. That's it!
Even system apps can be included in the zip file but make sure they don't have dependencies and they don't share data with other system apps (otherwise they won't be restored properly).
Restore via stock recovery is not supported yet.

Great app. Exactly what I'm looking for. May I ask, does this app also backup the aplication's data as well, or it just backup the apk file?

Is it tested yet on mini?
Thanks for info man

When it only backs up the apk, I can do that manually also. Take a filemabager and copy my wanted file to my saving place.

4. A working CWM based recovery installed ( Works even with the Temporary one)
5. Some patience

4. Reboot
How to back up:

It can also be done by Android Toolbox Pro

That's strange, I had it installed normally a while ago from the official thread (only used it once, but it worked if I remember correctly).
What exactly is the difference between this & the official one?

As i said i am not the developer...just wanted to share this mod in our forum as it supports. Does it vibrates when the back up is finished? (The script from ameer's thread) . I think it has a add-on of vibration and led lights blinking as and when the backup is finished. ( We Dont have an Led light...(obvious) so that wont work.) I never ran the original script so i have no idea about the vibration thing at the end. This one does vibrate.

I did the onandroid backup with the files installed from the original thread.
2 remarks:
1) you need to install the extra zip file for s5830i referred to with a link in the thread otherwise you will get the error message that your boot partition is not found
2) while making the backup in the background it's better not to stress your phone to much otherwise you will get an automic reboot during the backup process even when the min frequency is set higher than 156 mhz. So I'm not sure if this will work if you will get an incoming call during this backup process

It will backup your rom as you do from CWM recovery. For fat32, copy paste that into your computer.

I havent seen this error yet. Try to convert kdz and patch it with cwm. In general section you will easily find "how-to" and there is appropriate guide how to do it on your own

sorry i wasn't home
yes as hbohd said, look for the big noob how to and convert the kdz info bin and fls

Custom transition animations!

You guys will be well known of the app called "ZipThemer". Its available in the playstore for free. We can actually change the transition animations in our mini with a few simple steps using ZipThemer.!! ( Its a year old technique i just found it a day before.. )
Here we go !!!
What we need..
1. ZipThemer( download the app from playstore)
2.Ani_xx.zips ( download from the attachments,try the flyflip,the transition looks cool on our mini!!:highfive
How to use zipthemer..
1. Move the Ani_xx.zip to the /sdcard/zipthemer folder.
2.Open ZipThemer, Click on the menu button, then click on Update Edify.
3.Click Browse and find a zip on your sd card (theme, rom, etc) that you have used before and click on Configure. If it fails just try another zip till you get a popup that says "success".
4.After you get "success",press the back button and select +Theme button, then choose the Ani_xx.zip from /sdcard/zipthemer folder.
5.Press the Build it! button,it will then ask whether to create an undo file, select yes and wait.
6.When it completes go to cwm and flash the Ani_xx-update.zip and reboot.
7.Now you can enjoy your new transitions !!!:good:
Note: Incase something went wrong or you want to go back to your default transition,go to cwm and flash the Ani_xx-undo.zip.
(Tested on my mini running gb rom,and it looks good ,but it should work on every rom. Last but not the least, do it at your own risk)
