I have a folder on my computer full of the apk files of apps I regularly install after flashing a new rom, I was wondering if it is possible to turn that folder into a .zip folder that is able to be flashed to the phone in CWM just like when you flash the Gapps.
I have searched around for an answer for about half an hour and can not find anything, your help would be very much appreciated, sorry if this is something very basic I'm new here.
Yeah as long as you have an Update/Updater script and the apps in the correct folder it should be doable- I once created a UOT theme, unzipped it, and added my own launcher under "apps" et voila- it worked.

Hello!
I'd like to create update.zip to integrate app wich can be flashed to any or almost any rom. I'd like to put some essential app in it. Anybody can tell me how can i do this, or is there any guide for this?
Download and install the latest android sdk .also Java jdk find and download autosign. Do this all by searching. I would download a custom rom as a template for your update.zip. extract the data folder and the Meta folder and put into a new folder, go into Meta folder keep clicking through the folders inside Meta one till you find update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the part saying something like copy package DIRATA and the show progress before it. Once that's all done put the Apps you want into the data folder zip up the data and Meta folders, when you open the zip folder you should only see those 2 no others! Resign it using autosign and flash

+1. Niiice,... A few questions though if you dont mind.
1,... Can I use this command that I use to sign my bootscreens to sign the update.zip ... "java -jar C:\SignApk\SignApk.jar C:\SignApk\testkey.x509.pem C:\SignApk\testkey.pk8 C:\SignApk\bootscreen.zip C:\SignApk\bootscreen_signed.zip" ... and just change the file name as needed? ... Or do the .pem and .pk8 files need to be changed to something else?
2,... If Im using a base custom ROM with Apps2SD, all apps will be installed to the SD right?... Or do they install to the internal memory if you add the apps to the ROM itself?
3,... Is it also possible to add the app and game data (i.e.. game saves) to the ROM or is it best to use a backup programme?
Hope someone can help?
Thanks!
I tought it will harder, but it worked flawlessly
I'd be interested in this too:

It all goes to the Data partition so... If your ROM is using apps2sd and its turned on (for instance im using androbin and i have done the command "apps2sd on" in terminal) the apps you install from then on will go to your sdcard partition.Quite a handy thing on this androbin rom is in sd card and storage it tells me my secondary partition!
Ddotpatell....
1.Yes you can use that command
2.answered above.
3.I would use a backup program personally
Thanks BONESY, much appreciated.
running auxura , DL TTf files and moved into SYSTEM > FONTS and nothing, i cant seem to find anything on how to install these correctly with out going thru those apps on the market , and which if apps are the only way, which one is the best for custom fonts??? thanks in advance
ok, so i have DL and unzipped the files for the font i was interested in running, i move the file over to the sytem folder and paste it in there, nothing, am i pasting in the wrong folder???? root folder system>fonts>
i did notice that there were many fonts in that folder and none were the system fonts that are displayed , i will continue to try to figure this out, unless someone who knows wants to chime in
Is there some places where I can find all the stock tones for the SGS2 as one complete zip, or each folder as a individual zip so I can download them?.
And if not, is there then a way for me to either find them on the phone and copy them over, or as the last resort is there some way for me to extract them from the image files we use to flash through Odin?
Any help or hints in relation to this is more then welcome....
And thanks in advance.
Use Root Explorer some other file explorer by which you can have access to all directories.
Navigate to /System/media/audio
You can find "ringtones", "notifications", "alarms" folders. Copy to wherever you want.
i am not rooted, can some 1 up load the sms, notification n ringtone.
Download any official (based) rom and extract them yourself from the zip. Same location.
I have them, PM me your email address.

Already had them.
These are NOT flashable, i could probably make em so but I already had them all zipped. What I do is just put them in the GAPPS so everytime I flash a new CyanogenMod the audio gets copied in as well.
that link is dead
as the title suggests i would like to know how to create zips with the android kitchen to update a current rom. eg- i want to make a flashable zip that will reinstall all the bloatware apps that i have removed from my rom?
all answers appreciated
The kitchen doesn't have that feature. Try downloading a mod in the section of thee phone your developing for and open the zip with 7zip don't close it take the apps you want to flag and put then in the system folder in the zip then extract the updater-script and modify it to give it a little message or something then delete the one in. the zip and drag you new one in there I can walk you through it if you don't get it
would it work if i delete everything in the working folder of the kitchen but leave only the folder system and files that i wan to flash? then build rom... would it generate an updater-script to match then without overwriting the main rom when i flash via recovery?
I guess you could do so but why go through all that?
Option 99 in the kitchen. Follow the prompts on the screen

Hello!
I have managed to root the tablet and then started removing some apps with Titanium backup app. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted an app starting with syst.... - did not see the whole name. The tablet restarted and now there are no back, home buttons and slide menues from above, no multitasking. The Android version is 4.2.2. I have managed to install some hover buttons, CW custom recovery. Found the rom and downloaded it. I guess the app that I am missing is in system.img file? How can I extract /browse the contents? There are some img extractor apps but i cant find a valid link to download such. Is it true that if i find the apk and put it in the system folder the problem will be fixed? Please advise me what to do! I thought of flashing the device with mtk flash tool but i dont have a computer to do this with ?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Regards,
Kamen
Hello,
I have managed to extract the Systemui.apk and systemui.odex files from the system.img firmware file. Put them in system/app with the correct permissions, restarted - still not working! In the net somebody advised that I try deleting the .odex file and / or install the systemui.apk (installation fails) . No solution again!
Please advice!
