new idea for a new tool - Nexus 6 Themes and Apps

I got an idea for a new tool
where you can copy and past APKs for a certain folder and the tool will create a new flashable zip for you.
it could be awesome.

Same here. Select file working; but zip is not created. (Can't find).

Hi,
No problems here with ZipMe. Only thing that doesn't work (actually it never worked) is including app data. It gets lost when flashing the zip because of linking stuff.

I didn't manage to create a zip. Selecting files of different format works; but no 'zip results'

Did you gave it storage permission?

Su granted; but uninstalled. Still using your 'PM'.
But I will try again and do trial.error and set permissions.

i *think* that the permission is the problem as the app was never updated for MM. It doesn't ask for this permission AFAIK.

Titanium backup has an option to build a flash able zip from app backups. It's under menu->special features->create update.zip. I believe that installs app data as well.

[Q] some apk can't be installed

does anybody know why if i try installing some apk, it says "application not installed?
maybe you have install other version of the apps and what you are installing is a downgrade version of the apps
What app ? Maybe it's not compatible with the device

before copying app, rename the extension of the original app into something that system can't read.
after that, u can copy it.
see if there's any change.

This happens if it is not signed properly. Use apk manager to extract apk then delete the folder META-INF . Then zip it and sign it.. then try to install this file.. installing via adb is better..

i dont use cwm, i use twrp. you can chose and flash out of any filesystem. i dont see cwm not being able to do that, its part of any basic recovery. there has to be a way for you to navigate the filesystem, go up and down levels.
When you choose flash zip from SD card you should see the list of folders on the SD. The top folder should be '0' choose that and you will see your folders again. Choose downloads. It has to do with multiuser on JB.

[SPH-L720] [NG2] Original TouchWiz NG2 Bloat

If you accidentally deleted an application that you wanted later or just simply desire the files for development of custom TouchWiz based roms (or any other reason) and don't want to fish for them on a stock device, then here they are
These files are from the unmodified but rooted NG2 software. The only modification was that the device was rooted, so obviously @Chainfire's supersu is not part of the original files.

for all files in the /system/app directory: DOWNLOAD HERE
[sph-l720-system-priv-app.rar - RAR archive] [MD5=(pending)] [File Size: ]

**EDIT **
Note these are NOT flashable ZIPs. These are archives of each directory for cherry-picking the bloat apps.
**EDIT 2014 OCT 25TH***
Will not be making flashable ZIPS. If you so desire to do so, go for it. I now have the S5 and no free time as it is.

Yes I did. I simply took them from a stock rom. Which I'm sure anyone could do - just I know I never thought to until i'm at a point where I have no choice but to flash back to stock. So now everyone has them handy.
They are simple file copies. It's not a flashable zip. Extract and use adb to push or simply copy to your device. Again these are mainly for those who are building custom TouchWiz based roms and want to include some of the bloat - but can be used by those who need some of the applications for whatever reason. But they aren't flashable and some probably will have to be replaced using adb push.
I will try to work on a flashable zip but that will take me some time. Also a flashable zip file doesn't help those whom say only want Sprint's Zone app for example but don't need the rest of the bloat. Just saying. But will post when I have made flashable zips for all-in-one bloat.

Someone else chime in here if this is wrong:
but... some of the touchwiz apps will refuse to work thru a simple file copy from within the device. If that happens, some of it - keyword "some" will be fixed by using a custom recovery like philz-touch or CWM or TWRP and clearing both cache and dalvik-cache after doing the file copy - at least that worked on 4.3 and 4.2.2. But KitKat has changed some things so I'm not sure.
If anyone else has dealt with this, please do comment....
When pushing .apks with ES or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) you do need root and need to place in the correct folder (system/app, system/priv_app, or system/lib if it's a lib file) and be able to change permissions - usually to rw, r, r.
... So definitely pay attention where you copy the files from and where ya put 'em.
If not done, they will not work.
Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to let those of you whom are watching this thread know that due to personal stuff I have no time to make flashable ZIPs anytime soon but if anyone wants to take a stab at it before I get to it then be my guest

Make sure you copy it to /system/priv-app folder, and set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) NOT rwxrwxrwx, otherwise it will not work.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Rebooting and trying now, hoping my error with the permissions was the issue. Also, I'm not finding the stock calculator app in these archives. I may be being stupid again though, I apologize if that's the case.

One more time verify permissions are set correctly..they should match all of the other apps in the folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik and try rebooting. Hopefully that works.

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.

Perhaps try X-plore (or another file manager) and manually move them over though would need root for this and then set the permissions with that too.
