if it will not install automatically at recovery mode, you can add files manually with root explorer to the folder:
system / app /
system / lib /
sorry no success... i copied files with rootexplorer... wiped twlauncher's and dalvik's cache... set the rights

And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol

Any ideas to get it automated?

Hi,
In your RUNME.bat, on line 213, in the :FINAL block where your update.zip is made, just replace that line with this -
Code:
zip -r update.zip * -x zip.exe
I have made a flashable zip which should install qualcomm battery guru in /data/app. Just test it and tell me if it works since I don't have my mini.
Good luck

I searched but didn't get it to work with 7za.
I want to create a zip but exclude 7za.exe (I copy 7za to workdir and want to zip everything except 7za) but can't get it to work it always includes the 7za.exe file too.
Or is there a better method to do it?

There is a workaround for that. Once you create the zip file, there is an option which allows you to delete a file from the newly created zip file. It is 7za -d I think so and it does the job perfectly.

Download a 2.3.6 rom flashable zip file. Open it and go to system/app extract the file and copy it to your phone. Install it and your done.
If you want to install a system app then you need to be rooted. So i thought you already had a flashable zip file.
I got my firmware downloaded only. It is md5.tar file. Is this what you are talking about or should I download something else?

You flashed a zip file?
Is the apk file still in system/app? If not just place it there and wipe the caches. Without flashing a file.
BTW I don't know exactly how I make a good flashable zip file. Search and it shouldn't be hard to find and make.

Hi guys, i created my first own rom but while flashing it with TWRP 2.5 i get error "Error executing update binary in the zip"
So is there any solution?
First see you are properly rooted by using root checker.
Also it may be the problem of TWRP . Try flashing it through cwm.
