[Q] How to create a flashable zip for xRecovery (with working links?) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Does anyone here know how to make a flashable zip for xRecovery. I want to include apps in the zip... I found already some things while searching but no guide had a working download link etc...
So who can explain me how to do it or give me a link to a working guide with working links...?

Ok, so this is what I did.
I took such package as this and then I just put apps in it I want to flash. You can also make Your own directories

And the permissions?

Simple.... Use any other flashable zips and edit its contents as per your requirements. That's what I do too!

Many of us do, recycling zips is easier than trying to make them from scratch

no, you must put the file in /system/media or /data/local depending on what ROM you are using. If you are using the stock one, put it on /system/media
Thanks! I asked for this weeks ago and people just said: "flash the stock rom and get it yourself"

Oh im sorry, I wasn't aware this was the Android Development section and that only devs posted in here.
But is it hard for some one that ALREADY HAS IT or HAS A ROOTED STOCK ROM to simply upload it?
I agree, i don't see what's the problem of people helping each other if they can

Grimdroid apk converter

I don't know if someone has created something like this but.I had a kitchen that I was scrapping to start a new one and decided I'd release this.

**In case somebody doesn't understand what this tool does I will explain briefly.
You select a folder with apk files in it and then convert them. To zip files and then you can extract the zips and edit the apk files.
Been looking for something just like this thanks!

No, I think to decompil only into a zip or into a folder only...
Just a question, I've been using 7zip to open the apk files and haven't had a problem with it from the beginning. How is this different?

It really isn't but it makes it easier then having to install 7zip because this doesn't install so it is easy to remove if needed. And it converts to zip which windows natively supports. So it really is not that different.

It needs to be signed, install the app from the market Zipsigner2! Sign the zip & then install it, hope this helps

Thanks in advance.

Transition Animations for All

OK here ya go I tried to test these as best I could but as always USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I would NAND Backup if I didn't want to have to reflash my ROM (like that was ever an issue).
This uses D.O.C. theme engine so they can be flashed on virtually ANY ROM.
Big thanks to Snuzzo as well THANKS
I tested them the best that I could.

One thing you might need to adjust your animation speeds in /settings/Developer Options/Window Animation Scale & Transition Animation Scale.
Not much else to say other then ENJOY!
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you like..
Remember guys, these will not work with TWRP.

Is there a workaround for this, other than flashing another recovery? Maybe extract, copy, paste in file explorer?

Unfortunately none that i'm aware of.. other than to extract the ROM, open framework-res.apk (7zip) copy the XMLs from the attached zip into the apk.

Nope. No workaround. Also with vrtheme, if you want your old animations back, there is a folder created as "vrtheme-backup" on your sd card. These could potentially work on nearly any ICS rom.

Thanks guys, that sucks. Any idea why things are so finicky with the recoveries? My inc and tbolt were mules, that got raped and pillaged regularly with everything i could possibly think of, the x2 and rezound are stubborn and finicky, and put up one Hell of a fight with my crack flashing and constant amateur modding attempts

In recovery, check your SD card for vrtheme-backup. Were you using TWRP?

I use AmonRa 3.15 and flashed VRThemes before so I'm not sure what went wrong.
There's a framework-res.apk in that folder and that's it.
I restored my backup, re-downloaded the file, flashed again, it says successful but my phone is still stuck at the HTC screen.

only "work around" for it would be to extract the framework-res.apk from your system/framework directory.
place it on your pc, use 7zip to explore the apk with out opening it and drop the "anim" folder into the apk where the old one is.
then push apk back to phone.

That's really not hard at all. I might have to include one of these in my next ROM.

Flash CWM and TWRP zips with a locked bootloader via Flash Gordon!

This has been extremely helpful for mods on the S4 Active with a locked bootloader. It is not the same as having a out-of-rom recovery but it is a nice work around as mods start flowing to this device. I have flash MANY mods for the Active and it has been GREAT. The developer is working on ideas for flashing roms but currently this is not for flashing roms, do not even try. This has not been tested yet for the G2 and I would not try it until your carrier has a restore option available (currently Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T have one and they can be found here. All credit goes to the original developer and here is his original thread
Do this at your own risk, by flashing a zip without a nandroid back up this can cause a software brick and you will have to restore
1. Install busy box from the play store (YOU NEED ROOT)
2. Install the apk from the forum
3. download the zip you want to flash
4. Select flash now and reboot
If you have get the error that says the zip is not a flashable zip here are some things that will help:
1. make sure there are NO spaces in the zip name
2. make sure the zip name is short
3. if you still get the error that says this is not a flashable zip reinstall busybox and advance features
4. Flash Gordon does not play nice with AROMA installer so the zip must not have the included
5. Check the download zip, sometimes it can get corrupt while downloading to your phone. Try to transfer the zip from a PC and flashing it. (this has happened once to me)

I have but not on the G2. I do not have a back up... Now I don't know if there are any G2 flashes available right now. But other mods may work just be careful.
It is an awesome tool
Looks like AT&T restore can be found here (untested though)

It's not the zip that's in question. I've made enough of them to kill and elephant. It's the recovery. One has not been made specific for this phone yet, that I'm aware of. I'm under the impression that they are not universal.

That is the point of flash gordon... It is a recovery that works inside the OS so it has been working great and tons of phones... Just flash and reboot once it is complete and enjoy. Now the modified apk may crash once you flash but just do a hard reboot and it would be good
