(REQUEST) Creating update.zip - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps

Can you explain me how to create update.zip? How I can create update script?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

Just take one of the themes already in this section, remove all of the apk's in it, and add your own.
Though, I'd recommend learning how to make your own updater script, it's good practice, tutorials all over XDA.

Then make folder where that .so fille will go. Example /system/lib. So where file is in that zip, it will be copied in root of phone.

I agree with you but some scripts are formatting folders.

U used this one, it just mounts system partition. Do not format anything. Here is updater script:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");
ui_print("Flashing generic zip");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
You just make folders in system folder where you want files to be flashed. Like system/framework, system/app, system\lib, etc...

[Q] Rom Building Error

Hi
May i seek help to resolve this issue?
I created a rom by modifying on the phone and extracting the system folder using adb. Then I drag the system folder to a pre-existing rom zip. I tried to flash using cwm successfully but it just stuck at at the android logo. Many thanks for assistance.
Terry
it wasnt as simple as copy and paste, drag and drop like that.
u need to consider many thing. even one library missing or mismatched with the updater script in the zip file, it wont boot.
Oh ic.. so I have to modify the updater-script?

Technically , there's more than just editing the updater-script .
But at a basic level , yes .

Bluesky.apk

Does anyone know where i can find the bluesky skin apk? I flashed ineffabilis, but can't download it from miktweaks. I tried the simple blue v1 theme, that kept bootlooping, so no luck there.

Thanks, but I guess i still have something wrong. I downloaded the apk, hit install, but received message that application not installed. Using root explorer.

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

BlueSky.apk is a system app and needs to be in the system/app folder
Try flashing this in recovery

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

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?

Wallpaper.apk

Does anyone know how to make a wallpaper.apk? So I don't have to search my SD card for the wallpapers I want to set. Thanks!

easily take the file cmwallpapers.apk from any cm rom or any file named wallpapers.apk from any rom
decompile it and put your images in the images folder then compile it again

Thanks so much but I'm not familiar with decompiling and recompiling apk's. Any idea where I could find a tutorial? Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
its very simple just read some tutorials about the apk manager tool it lets u decompile, change and recompile apps so the described way (take the cmwallpapers.apk) would be the waay i would have suggested u too
check this

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

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

Ok...so I have seen many people asking how to convert nandroid backup to flashable zip. HERE IT IS
1. Download yaffey.zip
2. Run yaffey.exe
3. Open the system.yaffs2.img from the nandroid backup
4. Select all and export to a new folder.
5. Now install dsixda's Android kitchen... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
6. Use the kitchen to cook a flashable rom.
OR​
6. Download a any flashable zip for your phone, delete the system folder in it AND place the nandroid extracted system folder in the downloaded zip.
THATS IT!! YOU ARE DONE!​
