There's a few items that I need to install seperately every time I flash a rom. Is there a simple way to make a workable .zip or is it complex?
What I need to install each time:
Battery mod
Voice dialer
Keyboard
The batmod and keyboard are currently in zip files, so I was wondering if I could merge these easily. The only voice dialer apk I have requires me to manually place it in the correct folder with r/w access.

while i don't have a direct answer to your question.. you can reboot recovery in the CWM menu.. so you still install only one item at a time, but its much quicker than rebooting the phone completely, then going back into recovery.
Just a little tip if you didn't know
Just take all three files in your seperate zips, and throw them in the rom zip in their respective folders ... Flash.
BAM ONE STOP SHOPPING!!!
SUPER SIMPLE!
You're welcome.
if you want to make your own cwm update, it is not difficult, just check the script in META-INF\com\google\android folder.

Wouldn't you still need to modify the rom zip so that the files install properly?

Well thee battery mods are in a framework-res.apk that is overwritten, so thatwouldn't make a difference, and I've never had issues just dropping apps in /data/app or /system/app. It just flashes the whole folder it doesn't have instructions for every single app.

Yup, that will give you an example of what the script should look like...
Again I'm not the dev of these custom recovery. Just that I pack them together and modified a theme to work with our ZR phone.
Installation procedure:
1. Just unzip lockeddualrecovery2.6.0-RELEASE.windows.zip in your PC and run either supersu.bat or superuser.bat.
2. After all files are installed, your phone should reboot automatically into CWM.
3. If you're unable to see CWM and your phone just reboot normally to Android, then you might be suffering from remount-reboot issue. Just run the fix for remount-reboot first.
How to enter CWM/TWRP:
1. During a reboot, when the LED turns green, press VOL-UP for CWM or VOL-DOWN for TWRP. The LED will then turn purple before entering the selected custom recovery.
How to apply the proper theme in TWRP to fix UI issue:
1. Copy the TWRP_theme_720_play.zip into /sdcard/TWRP/theme and rename it as ui.zip
How to restore stock recovery
1. Delete the following files:
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/charger
/system/bin/ric
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
2. Inside /system/bin/ rename chargemon.stock to chargemon
3. Change permission for chargemon (chmod 755 chargemon)
Credits:
- Team Win for TWRP
- ClockWorkMod for CWM
- z31s1g for the beautiful Holofied theme. I only rescaled some images and edit the xml for 720p display.
excuse me for my ignorance noobish question, but why do we need a dual boot recovery? whats special about twrp if we already have a fine working cwm? or perhaps if one prefers twrp why whould be need both?

This is actually a valid question. Personally, I prefer to use TWRP since it's touch based and support more functions. Maybe someone does need CWM for some reasons.

Are you using the INTERNAL SD card to store the ui.zip?
What do you see in TWRP? Similar to the Holofied them in this link?

TWRP folder is on internal sd card so i copy the ui.zip into internal sd/TWRP/theme.
But when i entering into TWRP mode, i can only see the partial screen which contain install, wipe and backup buttons in big icon.
And no way to get out of recovery mode except removing the battery.

So it seems TWRP is unable to read the theme file. Can you check if your ui.zip file is corrupted?
MD5 checksum is: 20B934657DB6E7F19E9D603DA7529B35
FXP compatible?
Does this work with FXP?

I guess the easiest way is to use something like 7zip in PC and use the Test function.

It seems to me that you have problem either of your root or correct permission of bootanimation you try to install. What happened when you try to install it?

You used file explorer to check out your /system/media folder right? which one? But if you delete something there it not supposed to be there if you have correct rw permission there. I first think that it could be problem with bootanimation you try to install but if you can't delete something there for good I guess first look at your permission to write that folder.

I tried many and different bootanimations not just one and with different ways. I'm rooted and I use the root browser and the permissions are right. But the when I delete the original bootanimation or overwrite it after entering the media file it is there. (when I tried with recovery I got an error)

Basically no and yes. I moved the audio folder it moved successful but when I got back it was both at the moved and original location.
It's like the system generates the missing files by it self

Root again. Use "Easy Root Tool". If it stuck cleaning part just run it again and you should be good.
I was trying to change Xperia S bootanimation last year. Ending up to find that problem is much deeper then basic root and root explorer.
Didn't find the way how to apply custom one.
As I remember is somehow connected with bootloader or kernel

Don't know about Xperia S but with Z1 I can change bootanimation. I use X-plore by Lonely Cat Games with r/w rights and have zero problems.
I would suggest you do not have root.
Check if you have killed the ric.
Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.
If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.
Changing the boot animation had nothing to do with kernel or bootloader, you just have to change the bootamimation.zip in system /media

Simply put the root.zip file in your extSD without moving it in any folder just simply move or copy it in your extSD
Enter the recovery (cwm) menu by pressing Vol+ Home and power key and simply flash the root.zip file
You must be on CWM recovery not the stock one

Ohh sorry I did'nt knew it...
I never tried anything with stock recovery and never recommended anyone to use it for flashing purposes thinking that might cause the device to misbehave
Until I'am successful in trying any new thing with my device I don't recommend it to others thinking it may harm his/her device which was the reason I recommended him to be on CWM recovery...
BTW that you senior, I'll remember it in future

then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.
