[Q] Creating flashable zip for the Touchpad - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

[help] how to make a update.zip???

hey does anyone know how to make a update.zip for a apk???
you need to create an update-script that basically tells the flashing app where the file of your apk goes in the live system.
zip and sign and you're done.
if your next question is "how do I write an update-script" I would suggest you download any of the roms available, extract their script and have a look at it.
its quite basic, not much more difficult than writing a batch file on DOS.
there are a couple of threads that give a few pointers as well but they are somewhere in xda, not necessarily in the nexus section.
search for update-script and you'll see.

thanks mam ill give it a try
Remove the .txt extension or use the META-INF folder in the .zip that already has the same update-script in it or finally, you can use the empty update.zip which already has all the components in it, you just need to add your .apk's and .jar's to it.
This is a basic update script that works well for themes (or at least for me it does). In your .zip have META-INF (for the update-script) folder (take one from a ROM or theme) and an app and a framework folder and it will work.

Creating Boot Animations?

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

forum search can be your friend
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

Modifying ROM Zips

I've done a bit of searching and haven't managed to find the answer(s) I'm looking for. There are a few decent ROM's around here but nothing specific to what I want as an end result. The ROM's seem to come in ZIP files and open fine in WinRAR. Can I use WinRAR to delete apk files that I don't want to install and still end up with a file safe to flash in Clockwork Recovery? Thanks in advance!
yes you can. But dont extract the zip file (the rom), double click on it, system>app, and then delete what you want I let you here this site for you to see witch apk you can remove/uninstall :

(from cyanogenmod but the same roms are practilly the same)
Thanks! That makes life so much simpler than reading about this Kitchen stuff and such when I just simply want to remove what I consider useless.

How to create a cwm flashable zip file

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.

flashable zip

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.
