Exactly what question says on title. I tried doing it through clockwork recovery, but froze on (installing updates..). Answers would be very much appreciated, thanks.
You have to unzip the file and change icons like that. You can't simply flash the zip. What launcher are u using?

Im using launcherpro right now. I figured that was the method. I went into root explorer and extracted the zip file and extracted all the png files to my extracted folder. But now im stuck on how to save them in my gallery so i custom put them on from launcherpro. But i dont wanna do all that if theres another way.

Use CWM Recovery and install from Zip if it's a CWM flashable
Hi friends i've modified contact.apk but i dont know how to sign it. I will be thankfull if someone can do it for me...
Wrong section man, please use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1480
signing is easy than modifying
You do not need to sign it, it is a system app and you cannot install it. Just make a flashable zip and flash it via CWM. If you do not have root, you are out of luck.

Move it to system/app/ and set permissons then reboot

Download the zip in the attachment, open it with 7Zip/Winrar whatever you use, put your Contacts.apk in the system/app folder (watch for the case, the names are case sensitive) and the save the zip. Put it on your SD card, reboot to recovery and flash.

Hi. Is it possible to unflash a zip that can't delete all the file that I flash from the zip?
And can I flash a zip that have apps that is going to be installed into the SD card and not the system?
Help please
no you cannot unflash a zip but you can delete the content of the zip directly from the mobile by going to /system and deleting those files
app 2 zip:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567614
app2zip will create a flashable zip of your installed apps but cannot install them on sdcard

The only way to unflash a zip is by reflashing your ROM and about creating zips there are a few tutorials about that in XDA so make a search.

I meant by making a zip file that can install all the apks into the sdcard as a normal app. I already know how to create a flash zip and i only can flash apks into my system/app/.

Try my backup root the basic concept is the same it creates zips of the apks as backup but unfortunately you can restore it only via my backup root.

For that we need custom recovery, like we had TWRP in GB. Developers are working on it, and soon we will have that. Meanwhile you can reflash whole firmware.
You can try to use zip file from Shaan's root. Just delete system/app, and system/bin, and put build.prop in system folder. But I am not sure if it will work this way.
I attached how I think it should work. If you got any more bootloops editing it, try it.
i cant,i dont have a pc,
i went to my frnd twice and flashed twice today,it feels bad to go to others house

Maybe you better wait for custom recovery. With it would be lot easyer. You will have backup to restore.
I just tried it, it is not working because of signature.
Reboot phone In recovery mode, connect usb, run adb shell In PC:
su
mount -o remount system /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot
(Assuming u have a backup build.prop In /sdcard)

I did not try, but I think you can. Just make it CWM compatibile. I have empty zip that is compatibile with TWRP, but I do not know if it is compatibile with CWM. I will try it later.
will wait for you to test
build.zip

This CWM is buggy. When I press option install from SD - it refresh. I needed 3 times to push restart to get phone restarted. I am waiting for fully working CWM, and I will try then. I am not pushing my luck after problems with TWRP last time.
YES solid explorer works,
changed to S2,
RESOLVED
Use another .zip that extract things to system, if u replace files In the cwm zip it wont work because of the update-script inside

Man, you just saved my phone by this zip. Thank you
Hi, I know this is an old h thread but I'm pretty sure this will be handy to someone
Try this app for an easy way to make an update.zip It's still in beta but seems to be working fine on my N7100 so give it a go...
Zip.me can be found here (playstore)
Cheers
Is it possible to rename my backup file? Instead of 2013-30-7.zip change to something.zip? Thanks!

If you're using TWRP you can rename it right in recovery.

Cool, thanks!
Your Nandroid can be named anything, at least with TWRP (I don't use CWM) but if you want to restore it it has to be in the right folders or TWRP won't even see it ...
TWRP/BACKUPS/HT357W900873/Your Backup ... (The "HT357W900873" folder may differ as that's what it's named on my device, I don't know if it's the same for everybody)
Are you using CWM? because my backups are not zips. If you are using TWRP btw you can create a series of folders on a flash drive, named like above and use OTG to restore if you prefer, being that the current situation doesn't allow for copying backups from the phone, to a PC but backing up to a flash drive works fine when copying them from there to a PC.
