Hello,
I am running CM7 A8.1, and I am wondering how to merge the following update.zip files into 1 update.zip so I don't have to install 1 by 1?
Here is the order in which I install the following zips after flashing the Alpha8 through Odin:
1. CM7.2.0-GT-I5800_Alpha8.1a_CWM.zip (http://cm7-i5800.googlecode.com/files/CM7.2.0-GT-I5800_Alpha8.1a_CWM.zip)
2. Google Apps (http://goo.im/gapps)
3. Deodexed version of A8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415179)
4. ICS Complete patch by AChep (same as above)
5. MegaBassBeats audio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602753)
6. Hillbeast's test002 kernel of G3Mod (http://db.tt/PteQpsdY)
If someone could merge all of these into 1 update zip I would be very grateful, if not just tell me what I should do to merge them
And if that's not possible could you link me a thread on how to make my own rom with the current things i have installed (all of the above update.zips) and convert it into a tar so i can just flash that instead of update.zips

This can be done via Aroma Installer Script which is a full GUI Mode for Installing which Runs in Recovery.. I think Rubensollie was making one.. Not sure when he will release..

Can I try and overwrite one after another with total commander and then apply the zip that is made of all the overwritten files (also delete the .odex files and the unnecessary apps from system/app)?

Not only that, I am thinking about overwriting the files in that particular order which I would usually run update.zip, so I can get 1 instead of 6 update.zips

Ah! now I get what you actually meant. Actually what you want can be done without Aroma Installer.. You just need files at proper place directories..
1.Take CyanogenMod Alpha 8.1 Extract the ZIP.
2.Remove zImage and add the zImage of HB Kernel
3.Remove Apps and Framework folder from /system and add from Deodexed CyanogenMod
4.Go to each folder in Achep Patch and replace the files in the CyanogenMod 7 Folder..
5.Do similarly and replace file for MegaBassBeats and Gapps.. Be careful to place in correct directory.
Repack the META-INF, system and zImage folder at Store Compression Level. Apply it and there you go!

Yes, Iv'e done this before.
1. Rename the .ftf to .zip and extract system.sin with winrar.
2. Get program Called Internals Linux Reader.
3. With Flashtool use the option extract data from sin and select system.sin and extract data.
4. With Internals Linux Reader Mount Image and Copy everything inside the image to a folder.
5. Go into folder and highlight everything and right click and press add to archive (WINRAR!!!!!!!)
6. CHOOSE ZIP AND DONE THERE YOU GO!
NOTE - YOU DONT HAVE META-INF FOLDER SO YOU WONT BE ABLE TO FLASH!

First,you will have to change the entire framework of the app (sorry,i have no idea how to do that) and secondly, both apps won't work in using the same device because of the android ID. i know to how to edit text/pictures/icons /fonts etc of an app..but no idea relating permissions management , so if you have any questions regarding that feel free to ask
Hi guys, I was able to extract system.new.dat from a rom (purity lollipop) and now I have the old good system with folders, so I can change whatever I want. But I tried to flash the zip and only the boot.img gets installed, the rest seems to be ignored.. What should I change in the zip on order to get it to install correctly?

Can I use the updater from the same rom but kitkat version? The things I install are the same I think..
Wondering if anybody around here has some experience on using SVADeodexerForArt?
Trying to deodex D6603_Customized US_1288-7827_23.4.A.1.232_R6C and from what I gathered this is the tool to use, but been bouncing from thread to thread trying to understand how to make use of it and the more I read the more confusing it has become and I'm still at square one...
Anybody willing to shade to light and give direction on how to proceed?
Thanks
-Deodex-
Ok, so after a few days of reading I figured how to deodex my rom, took the long way since I didn't have the rom on my phone, just started from the xperifirm file...
Want to give a big THANKS @serajr for answering my questions and letting me use his zip to add my files for flashing!
This deodex zip is only for the D6603_Customized US_1288-7827_23.4.A.1.232_R6C firmware with root and recovery so be sure you're on that exact firmware before flashing!
-BACK UP before you even think of flashing this-
there is no debloat in the zip , you'll end up with a full stock D6603_Customized US_1288-7827_23.4.A.1.232_R6C deodexed, rooted and dualrecovery firmware
just flash the zip through recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then boot...
get the deodex zip to flash here

First make sure that you have the firmware you want to deodex, rooted with recovery and installed on your phone already so in your case D6653 firmware 23.4.A.1.232 Customized IN , if not then create a prerooted zip with that ftf file, SuperSu and latest dual recovery with PRFcreator then flash it and boot....Once that exact firmware is on your phone, you can follow those steps below to create a deodex zip.
Here is the process:
-download the zip that I provided in this thread (you'll need it later to swap my files with yours)
-open the ftf with 7-Zip to copy the system.sin file
-then use Flashtool Sin Editor to extract data to get System.ext4
-from there, use ext2explore (download it here) to open the system.ext4
-Once you opened system.ext4, locate those 3 folders (app, framework and priv-app) and build.prop
-create a folder called deodex on your C drive (so C:\deodex) and copy those 3 folders mentioned above and the build.prop file to it
-then move SemcGenericUxpRes folder from framework folder to app folder and take the 2 containing folders from vendor\app and move them to the app folder as well
- then run SVADeoderForArt.exe and selected the path to C:\deodex folder, check deodexing framework, app and private-app, let the tool run (it should tell you if it ran without errors when done)
-now you should have app, dex, framework, odex and priv-app folders (inside the SVADeodexerforart folder) after the tools finished the deodexing process (you can delete the dex and odex as they're not needed anymore)...now move SemcGenericUxpRes folder back to framework folder...also move back the 2 folders that you took from vendor\app, just put them anywhere on your desktop you're going to need them in a minute
-now when you open the deodex zip that you first downloaded, go into the system folder and you'll see 4 folders, app, framework, priv-app and vendor....delete the 3 folders app (but before, move the supersu folder from my app folder to your app folder, otherwise you'll end up without supersu) , framework and priv-app folders and move your 3 corresponding folders in there...now open vendor\app and delete the 2 folders and put yours instead
-your deodex zip should be good to flash now, put it on your sdcard...reboot to recovery, choose your zip to flash , then clear cache and dalvik cache and then boot....now you should have a full stock deodexed D6653 firmware 23.4.A.1.232 Customized IN (if you want to debloat, remove what you don't want from the app and private app folder in the zip before flashing, but you're on your own for that)
And as always make a backup before you start all this
Also, you should thank @serajr, as he's the one that wrote the script to clean and replace the system odexed folders, he nicely let me use it as a base to make my changes
