[Guide][Tool] The easiest way to create flashable zip (newbies proof) - 9/July/2013 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Hello everyone..
In my tutorial here, I want to show newbies how to create their own flashable zip file to flash by recovery mode (CWM)...
Now installing your mods become easier and faster
Needed tools for newbies:
1) Download this zip template that I made particularly to devices kernels that support auto-permissions fix feature like our GT-N7000:
Template-for-auto-perm-fix-kernel_v1.1.zip
2) WinRAR or 7-zip program installed in your computer.
3) zip-auto-signer_v1.1 patch in case your kernel needs it (windows users).
4) Cup of hot tea!!!
How is it working?
Open the template zip file by WinRAR or 7-zip (don't extract!! Just open)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​
Now what you need to do is just to drag & drop your modded file into its corresponding destination inside the zip file.
​
Copy your finished zip file to your external SD card.
​
Boot into recovery mode and flash your file... Now you can treat yourself the cup of tea.. you deserve it
Extra step:
If you are using stock kernel that needs verification signature from flashable zip file, then you need to use zip-auto-signer to sign your finished zip file.
First copy your finished zip file from previous step and open "zip-auto-signer" folder (download from above).
Run the zip-auto-signer.bat to create all needed folders.
Now paste your zip file in "put-zip-to-sign-here" folder.
Rename it to any name but don't leave any space between letters.!! and run the script zip-auto-signer.bat.
Now go to "finish" folder and copy "signed_*.zip" into your external SD card.
Boot into recovery mode and flash your signed file
Simple and noob proof tutorial, I hope it will help you all new xda members
N.B: In case anyone needs a template that is coded to fix permissions automatically as well, I have created this template [Template-for-non-auto-perm-fix-kernel_v1.1.zip] so you can use it as your base.. But using this template on kernel that supports auto-permissions fix like Philz kernel will only make flashing time unnecessarily long!!

yes just by simple drag and drop method into the template zip file... just put your app in preload or system corresponding app folder and that's it, go and flash it :good:
For any problem using the template, I will be glad to help you all..

Yes you can but it will not be enough for app to work, you need to fix permissions and to create symlink of that app in system app folder..
why not to try the template above, it will do all the job for you

I tried the above template... Extracted it using root explorer copied app to preload.... created a zip and it only created symlink in app folder Didnt copy the app to preload....
Is it necessary to use computer and do it without extracting the zip files..

How come it creates symlink from no apk in preload partition!!!!??
As I mentioned, don't extract the template, only drag and drop your apk into preload\symlink\system\app folder whether using computer or phone to do that and then flash

Could you please teach me about 007a theme.zip-for future use- why is not "framework directory" set under "system directory"? and why is only "service.jar" manually copied?
Anyway grateful to your work and clicked "thanks".

The .zip theme is a way, using the recovery menu, to apply themes with ease...I don't know exactly how it works...
About the framewor directory not being set under system directory I didn't understand, could you please rephrase it??
and finally the service.jar is a file that is there only to change the color on the date on the status bar... and it's the only file that needs to be manually copied because I couldn't create a .zip file that included it....
Hope you like it and thanks for the thanks
Thank you for reply and sorry for poor sentence.
I only hope to understand why default directory structure is not maintained within 007a_theme.zip,
whereas "/system/framework/framework-res.apk"
I have no other purpose,this is simple interest.
I'm not quite sure I understood you but I think you mean inside the. zip file?? If so, the zip file is not a complete image, it's just a theme file that updates the current ROM, but within the system the structure remains the same...

I have understood integrity of your MOD after interpreting your comment , CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF and update-script.
Thank you. I've learned a great deal.
I like this doc. Is this the Cardock?
Can I run this standalone on the default rom?

Yes, this is the CarDock.apk provided in the AOSP ROM in the apps folder, you just have to install it through adb....

Which metod have you used??
Either way my first suggestion is to get to the recovery menu and restore your backup and try again...
I've tested it in other xperia I have and it works perfectly... remembering that this will only work in J's AOSP 2.1 007a ROM
A quick question if i may before i begin and id like to try it using the unzip to xrecovery menu then restore method.
Im guessing the location for unzipping is inside sdcard/xrecovery/backup/ (which ever date time etc not just making a new folder under sdcard/xrecovery/backup then unzip here?
I hope you understand what i mean
Thanks for your time and effort for the theme btw!

All you need to do is unzip the folder (/2.1 007a AOSP RMR) on the zip file to sdcard/xrecovery/backup/ there's no need for dates or anything else, just unzip the folder and restore....
Remember to make a backup of your own before proceding....
Good luck, hope you like it and I'll be happy to help in anything else you need...
Sorry im not quite sure if you understood or i might being a little slow as its 3am uk time.
So its just into the backup folder not the one where the back up is made with.
Sorry for my confusion

Yep, in the end your folder structure needs to be /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/2.1 007a AOSP RMR
inside this folder you have the cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5 and system.img
and no worries about the confusion, it's 1 am here in Brazil, I'm not at my sharpest either....
i'm using the xrecory method, which mentioned to update to custom zip ..
anyway, if i'm restored from your image, will all of my previously apps gone ?
if i've been already done app2sd, will it crash with your apps ?
thanks ...
*update :
I'm trying to use your first method by extracting your file to xrecovery/backup ..
but, when i'm trying to restore it, the xrecovery says that md5 mismatch

The Actual Lockscreen Looks Something Like this:
Some Screenshots, Thanks to Hspgill, Gladiator00:
How to Use:
1. Download a Zip From Below. Place it somewhere on your SD Card. For the Sake of this tut, lets assume that it is named Nexus.zip.
2. Download and install this app.
3. Open the app and press options key (the capacitive button on Phone). Select 'Update Edify'. Then Select Browse and Point it to the Zip of the ROM you are Currently using. Then Select Configure.
4. Come Back to main Screen, then tap on +Theme. Point it to the Nexus.zip you downloaded Earlier.
5. Then Tap on Build it.
6. It asks if you want to build an Undo Zip. Select Yes. (Just in Case )
7. Now, you'll get Nexus-Update.zip and Nexus-Undo.zip in Your SD Card.
8. Boot to Recovery and Flash the Nexus-Update.zip. And Voila! You have a New LockRing
Tested and Working Fine on CM10 Alpha 4. Should work on ICS and all CM 10 Based ROMs too.
Check and Report if it Works
I Got it from Here and Resized it for our Phones.
Last But not the least, Clicking the Thanks Button is Easier than Typing 'Thanks'!
I'll Add More as I get Time
Confirmed Working on:
1. CM10 Alpha 4
2. CM9 Build 8 & 9
3. AOKP ICS​
Have a Nandroid Backup I'm not resposible for Bricked Phones.

The Idea behind Zipthemer is that one mod is compatible with all ROMs available.
If I have to make flashable Zips, I need to make it for very ROM, as every ROM uses Different Framework-Res (or atleast Modified).
Try any flashable zip that works on you Phone. It'll get configured Properly.

[Guide]How to make a flashable zip

Here you go..tutorial on [how to] make a flashable zip
Special Thanks to ateeq72 for teaching me
REQUIREMENTS
- Any file that you want to replace or add to your phone;
- An existing (base) cwm flashable zip file. - I've attached one below;
- 7-zip, Winrar or any program which can open and modify zip files .
STEPS:
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
(1) Download and place the sample.zip (attached below) anywhere on your desktop;
(2) Right-click on it and open the archive with 7zip, winrar ... [DO NOT extract]
Now you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".
1. Let's start with the "system" one, so open it:
In there, will go all files that what you want to add or replace to the system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation.
Make a "New Floder"
-Rename its as "media" (make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)
-drag those two new empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive
-now simply drop the two files in their respective place: the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder
.. If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now.. :silly:
Hints
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar
/system/media - bootanimation.zip
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
2. The other folder included in the opened archive is named "META-INF" and all the file in it should be left unchanged.
Now,just place the zip into your sd card! & try your luck Ofc it will work
That's it !
CMON!Thats easy
Exactly what was i looking for!! Thanks mate:thumbup:

Stock Rom 1.43.720.2

Hey Guys,
HTC has recently updated their Stock Rom for our Explorer (Pico)
The new updated Software Number is 1.43.720.2 & it has quiet few new features!!
However I tried searching hard on the net but couldn't find its RUU
the latest RUU version that is available is 1.31.720.3
Also there are No Updates Available as of now for all the users who are on stock rom Software number 1.31.720.3
So I have copied all the system files of the 1.43.1720.2 and put in a Zip
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP
Download the zip & extract it
You will have the entire system folder of the new version!
I will soon try to upload the new Kernel & other files that I find
Mods plz feel free to move the thread if you think it's in wrong section!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR SYSTEM FILES:

FLASHABLE ZIP
Inorder to make things simple
I have made a Flashable Zip
INSTRUCTIONS:
Its Recommended that you make a backup of your existing ROM just incase something goes wrong
Go To Recovery Mode
Wipe Everything
Flash the zip
Done!

You can make/compile your own kernel

Here's the link to it:

I am Really Sorry Guys
The zip i have uploaded doesn't have the fonts folder
So I will upload the fonts folder seperately
You may use the fonts folder from 1.31.720.3 system folder
Any significant change?

I think,
Indian Language support keyboard
Go to recovery from settings by clicking optimize storage.
But it wasn't updated recently. It was updated over a year back.

Copy all system files not just the apps folder. And paste it in the zip. Or if he can root his phone that will give us the boot.IMG

How can you copy system apps to SD without rooting??
And did you put the fonts folder in /system... because, when I first bought this mobile, I updated immediately and I got fonts folder in /data/fonts and it was symlinked in /system/fonts.. so, there could be a size issue...

Android L Bootanimation (and others!) for Galaxy S5 [With a How-To]

There seems to be a bit of confusion on how to get boot animations to work on our devices, S4 guys had this same issue.
Go HERE for other bootanimations. You must extract the files from their downloadable zips and either use method 1 or 2 to install. If using method 1, replace the files in the /system/media/ folder of the flashable zip.
Android L - Method 1 (requires SafeStrap):
1. DOWNLOAD this ZIP
2. Flash in Safestrap
3. Reboot
Method 2 (requires only root)
1. DOWNLOAD this ZIP file and extract the files from it.
2. Place files on internal storage or SDcard
3. Use a root explorer or root file manager app to navigate to /system/media/
I use File Manager because it will easily complete step 6​4. I would recommend renaming the current files by putting an OLD in front of them, such as (OLDbootsamsung.qmg). (Optional)
5. Once you are done with step 4, place the files into /system/media/
6. Here's the important part: You must be in root mode and change the permissions of each of the 3 files.
7. Once you are able to change permissions, make sure all files permissions look like this below or it will not work and things can screw up.

A little thanks to @Misterxtc as well
Worked great. Thanks!
Use this as a template and download others from here and give thanks to the OP for the files. I have included the Android L animation from above in this file. Just replace the .qmq files in the system/media folder for something different, also include the PowerOn.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui folder if it's included in the animation for the start up sound.

No problem but I just updated the zip because I had the poweron.ogg in the wrong directory. You will have to update your link.
EDIT: FYI the zip file sets permissions too.

That's fine. I updated my quote so that will be accurate but I actually want the L Bootanim to be sound-free. But I will add an option in the OP to download a with-sound version.
Edit, I don't see poweron.ogg anywhere in your zip...?

There is no sound in the zip, just a option to put the file in there.

Alliance uses a different boot animation that uses a zip file. The ones posted here are the type you need. You will be replacing the bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder with these type of files. They will have to be renamed to bootanimation.zip for them to work. Just to be safe rename your original instead of deleting it.

No they are a different format all together. Compare your bootanimation.zip with those and you will see. There are others than I posted, all you have to do is search for them and make sure they are the same format as your original.

I've been stuck on the Olympic tribute for quite a while now. I love the flashing colors, lol. I like the Android L a lot too, it's pretty wild.
