Clean windows folder possible ?
I'm trying to cook my own rom but when I add an EXT module, all files are in Windows directory and the app.dat file only copy them in the app directory.
So is it realy possible to have a clean windows directory, how to put files directly in app folder? must I use an OEM module with initflashfile or ???

All files go into \windows. The first thing you need to ask is this: do I need to copy the file into another directory, like \program files? A lot of apps work just fine if you leave all of the files in \windows. The files are going to be in \windows in one form or another, so you save space by just running the app out of \windows. You need to change shortcut paths and sometimes registry key paths to get this to work, but in my experience, it works about 95% of the time. Usually, if you've got a multi-component application (several files besides just the .exe), the .exe will search for other files it needs to run in the same directory that the .exe is located in, so you're good to go if everything is in \windows. Some apps have sub-folders, so you'll have to get that folder and its contents into \windows. The best way to do this is with a .cab file or a zip file during customization (using a mortscript for the latter). Zip files are nice, because they install really quickly and are easy to make and edit.
Anyway, if you need to get files into another directory for whatever reason, I'd say that the app.dat method is probably the worst, because if you have multiple files, then you increase the file count in \windows by that amount. Put them in a zip file or a cab file, and then you'll reduce the file count to 1 for the particular package. You will also compress the files, and save some rom storage space.
You can also look into \extendir for another method to clean up the \windows directory.
You do need to be careful with some apps if they have an .ini file or an .xml file or something similar that is basically a settings file. It's usually better if these files aren't read only, so you may need to figure a way to copy the file into the \windows directory.
is it posible to copy system files?
Can you be more specific with question please?

I have a .nbo file with me on my pc and i want to extract the contents to my computer so that i can use specific apps included in it. Is there any way by which i can extract these files directly to any folder on my computer. I tried looking for various options on the net but nothing worked out. Can anyone help in explaining me how to do it...???
Does anybody knows a file manager that is capable to:
1) Browse any files
2) Create any files
3) Change any proprieties/attributes of any files
4) Edit any files
5) View any files as text
6) And the rest of any thing that can be made with files.
The reason I ask is because I don't know a program that can open an file as text and have the ability to edit that text and then save it.
Hi!
For everyone who has lost his ThreemaID because of damaged phone, here is my solution.
All you need is an old TWRP/Nandroid backup that contains the data partition of your phone (you should have installed Threema before you backed up the data ) and a software like 7Zip (on Windows) or tar (on Linux).
Copy the TWRP/Nandroid files to your computer. On my XPeriaZ5 they are named from data.ext4.win000 to data.ext4.win006. These files are normal ".tar.gz" files. Rename them to data.ext4.win000.tgz ... data.ext4.win006.tgz.
Use 7Zip or tar to browse the archive and navigate to "/data/data/ch.threema.app/files/".
Inside this directory, you will find a file named "idbackup.txt".
Extract and open this file. It contains your ThreemaID in plain text format.
Start Threema on your new (unrooted) phone and tell Threema to restore your ID from text.
Enter the long code you found in idbackup.txt (you will be asked for your password)
Feel happy
