Use the zip from an already working rom and then make the changes in the updater-script..if you want i can send over my meta-inf folder

Yeah that would help. I've created my own update script but when I zip it all up how it should look compared to everyone else's rom it just fails when flashing saying bad.

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log

Sweet looked in my data folder for installing the apk files I want and noticed quicksettings.apk had a weird font as the q. Renamed it to quicksettings and it flashed no problem. Just need to figure out how to get it to flash the modem now because it didn't seem to do it. Could you send me your Meta folder please? Ill have a flick through it

Zoot1, Your META-INF consists of only the com folder.
Are the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files neccesary?

Have you solved this issue?
Last time I had this same problem when flashing MIUI on Galaxy Note, it fried the motherboard and I just got it fixed.
All the best

Yes, you will need to sign the zip after you have packed it..this will generate those files..those are certifications.........

If you have an older version of the app, uninstall it and install it again.

Sure, just rename the .apk to .zip then use CWM.

That's not what I did,
Its a flashable zip to install the apk in the proper location with the proper permissions.
Renaming the apk to zip will allow you to extract the contents of the apk on the pc, but will not install it on the device
You need to have the proper binary and script within the zip to allow it to install to the device.
Just FYI

I am not sure, but i think there no BS in some mod ROM, and we need to install it. Then we can use wallpapers. Is not it?

I would not recommend using a pit file unless you know 100% what you're doing, and based on your posts it seems like you don't.

Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it is download Rom manager. On the main screen almost half way down there is a tab that says "Partition Drive"
In there you should be able to format/create and or merge partitions.

Buddy, for swapping you need to Modify the vold.fstab file in /system/etc.
If you can't then please upload your file here. If possible then I can help you.
