Hello, guys. I'm sharing with you the app ZIPme, it allows you to create a flashable backup ZIP of anything! Build.prop, boot animation, system fonts, accounts, messages, wallpaper, Wi-Fi, apks, apks+data, only data etc.
It's really easy, I added some screenshots to you.
Tested in:
Xperia U | Xperia P
Note: if you test tell me to add in list
Hope you like!
Words of developer (JRummy Apps):
ZIPme is in beta. This means there will be bugs and some hiccups.
ZIPme is a powerful tool to create update ZIP packages to install in recovery. Whether you are a ROM developer or just getting into "root" and "ROMs" ZIPme can simplify your life.
Who should use ZIPme?
If you install custom ROMs on your rooted Android device then ZIPme can be a powerful tool. ZIPme requires root access.
What does ZIPme do?
ZIPme creates ZIP packages to install in recovery mode. When you install a new ROM your system is wiped and many times you clear your data. ZIPme can create a package of your apps, data and files you want to install right after a ROM or as a ROM addon. ZIPme programs and signs the update ZIP package so your recovery can install it.

so for example if an app or anything else can be flashed only as a flashable zip from recovery, with ZIPme we can make it flashable and then flash it from recovery,am i right?
thanks anyway:good:
I didn't test the apk you uploaded yet, but I tested this app from play store not too long ago, but it didn't work for me. I got always the error from system that my storage would be full (even though it wasn't) then it failed.
Nice, you just copied my entire post.

GUIDE: CREATING SMALL FLASHABLE ZIPs TO RESTORE FILES OR SETTINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO DO FULL NANDROID RESTORE
This will enable you to apply MODs without having to do a FULL NANDROID restore to recover if the MOD fails or if you don't like it
This brief guide will teach you how to create a flashable ZIP file that you can use to restore your phone to pre-MOD settings if you want to revert back or if the MOD simply does not work
WITHOUT having to do a full restore of your phone.
It is a very good idea to create these backup flashable ZIPs and keep them safe to recover from mishaps or when creating/testing MODs/themes.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As usual: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any loss of data or functionality on your phone. To be 100% sure, always make a NANDROID backup if you are not 100% certain you can recover.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
There are many reasons you might want to do this, for example when testing a MOD for another ROM that is similar to yours but not exactly the same (eg: Optimus G3 vs Cloudy G3) or when upgrading your ROM to a new version and wanting to re-apply old MODs.
There are many ways to get into boot loops or fail to boot, the biggest culprit being fonts installations, but include also bootanimations and others.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1: general
1. Install ZIPme app from playstore
2. Find out which files are being modified by the MOD you are trying to apply, this is usually framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk, lge-res.apk, but be aware that some MODs affect a lot of files. See part 2 for more details on how to do this.
3. If you are applying a font, don't worry, the FONTs section (see part 2) should cover all Fonts.
4. If you are applying a bootanimation, don't worry, the bootanimation section (see part 4) should cover all Bootanimations.
5. For every flashable ZIP you create you can test it straight away by booting into recovery and applying the zip file. There is no reason why it should not work.
Part 2: FONTS
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FOLDER: /system/fonts
- ADD FILE: /system/etc/system_fonts.xml
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 3: MODs that affect framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk or any other app
1. Find out which apks are being modified:
- You should of course read the OP (instructions for the MOD)
- The easiest way to find out modified apks is to download the MOD and open it: the zip file will contain either the apk files themselves or have directories with the names of the apks being modified.
- You can always ask the developer to make sure
2. Once you have a full list of files being affected you can create the flashable zip:
- in ZIPme, simply select "ADD -> File" for every file being affected
- If you have an ODEX ROM (.odex files are present) make sure you pick those too!
- save the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 4: Bootanimations
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FILE: /bin/bootnimation
- ADD FILE: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
- ADD FILE: /system/media/shutdownanimation.zip
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 5: Other flashable files you should always keep handy
1. Always keep with you the following files for good measure: they don't take much space but can help recover from problems without having to fully restore from NANDROID backup
- original kernel from your ROM
- flashable bootloader (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable baseband (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable recovery image (TWRP, etc)
- "Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip": this is created by Xposed when you install it. It is located in the root folder of your sdcard. Copy it and put it somewhere safe.
- SuperSU: keep a flashable latest SuperSU with you to recover root

Can you use this to make a zip of boot.img and libs? Not finding how to do that. Thanks for any information.

Nope. It saves what you tell it to save.
The guide as it is only saves files, was meant for modding restore, not other stuff.
If you try mods a lot and don't like a certain theme or icon set you don't need to do a full nandroid backup and full restore because you changed 3 files in your mod.

Not with what I wrote.
The app ZIPme can do a lot more than simple file recovery, but I am not an expert at flashable zips so can't comment on more advanced uses like buildprop etc.
I would certainly not write anything about boot images, way too likely to cause someone to screw up their phone....
Pick a flashable boot/libs zip file from somewhere and try to reproduce at your own risk.
Hi Everybody,
Are you tired of installing same apps again and again after installing new Rom or factory resetting current Rom?
Well, We have been experiencing the same since different Roms and Nightlies are out. Hence I and RajatPatel created a tool which would make it easier for you to try different Roms and install those apps/fonts/bootanimations/etc in just one shot.
★ What is this tool about?
Android Flashable Zip Creator is a tool for those who oftenly flash new roms and want an easy way to install apps, change fonts or bootanimation. This tool allows them to create a flashable zip with aroma installer that they can flash anytime in their rooted android device. Not only this is helpful to end users but also helpful for developers who release different version of their Apps, Tones, Fonts and Bootanimations
★ Why is it required?
Imagine that you’re flashing the latest nightly of your favorite ROM. If you are performing a fresh install by wiping all of your data, this also means that you have to flash all of your modified system apps, user apps, modules, and so on. And if you’re doing this on a regular basis, all the wasted time really starts to add up. So what do you do? Do you manually install these apps again, or do you add them to your favorite ROM? That is where this tool is helpful.
★ How is it helpful?
For you to create a flashable zip, you need knowledge of scripting language (edify).
Once you know it, you need to write it and update it everytime you make a change (add or remove files from zip).
It is very likely that we make mistakes (like missing semi-colon or forget closing the bracket) and fail to notice it while creating it.
We come to know about it only when we try to flash the zip file and experience an error in recovery.
To fix it, we again make changes in updater-script and test the zip again.
After spending hours and hours into creating a zip file, a new version of file releases and we are forced to make changes in zip to stay up to date.
All this time, if number of apps, fonts, rest of the files increases, the lines of code required in updater-script also increases.
To save your hours of time into creating zip file, we present you this tool which would just needs your few minutes to create a flashable zip file.
This tool
Lets you import the apks, fonts files, bootanimation zips, ringtones, etc
Creates a zip file at your desired location
Allows you to import the already created file so that you could just make the required modifications and create a new zip
Comes with drag and drop functionality to save your time in manually setting up the structure
Supports latest aroma binary version available
Supports all the Android versions till Nougat
Supports all the devices by reading update-binary from root directory if device is not present in supported devices list (this step will get eliminated soon in next big release)
Can be used by noobs too
Requires minimum knowledge about aroma config and updater-script
Allows you to choose your devices' compatilble aroma binary
Allows you to choose your favourite aroma themes
Has various options in Preferences for user to make change in behavior of tool
etc
Suggestions to make changes and making Feature requests are welcomed. Feel free to suggest anything
★ Disclaimer
If you're going to test this app, make sure you have a nandroid backup handy.
We won't be held responsible for any damage done to anything whatsoever. You use this tool at your own risk.

Instructions
Steps to Create a Flashable Zip
Select your device if listed in Devices List, If not listed, place update-binary of your device in the directory of jar file.
Add a Project, give it a name.(A project can have multiple groups) A popup appears on start up, you can change the settings in File->Preferences.
Add a Group. (A group will contain specific type of files in it) For eg. you create a group (say xyz) with install location (system/app), then xyz group will include all the apk files that needs to be pushed to system/app
Add a Subgroup if required (When you need furthur grouping. It is required for bootanimations and fonts) For eg. 2 Boot Animations will have their own bootanimation.zip. You cannot add file with same name twice. Hence you need subgroup to further distinguish the file.
Add a Folder. (From android 5.x+, we have apk files placed in folder which contains optional lib files as well with it. To build the same directory structure, you need to add folders)
Add Files to Groups/Subgroups/Folders.
Click on Export Zip to choose the destination and Click OK to generate zip.
How to add objects
To add a Project -> Right Click on AFZC Projects -> Give a unique name to project -> Click on Add.
To add a Group -> Right Click on the Project that you want your group to be added in -> Hover on Add group and proceed ahead with selecting location to which you want to push your files to -> Give a unique name -> Click on Add
To add a SubGroup -> Right Click on Group -> Click on Add SubGroup -> Give a unique name -> Click on Add. Note: You will get an option to add subgroup only for Boot Animation and Fonts group as only they require it.
To add a Folder -> Right Click on Group -> Click on Add Folder -> Give a unique name -> Click on Add. -> Right Click on Folder -> Click on Add Folder to further add folder -> Give an appropriate name -> Click on Add. Tip: You can also drag and drop folders from your drive to the group. All the sub folders (if any) and files will be added automatically.
To add a File -> Right Click on Group/Folder/SubGroup -> Click on Add Files -> Import the files. Tip: You can also drag and drop files from your drive to the Group/SubGroup/Folder. All the files will be imported.
To add a Theme -> Right on Themes Project -> Add Theme -> Give appropriate name -> Add required files to it
How to rename objects -> To rename a Project/Group/SubGroup/Folder/File, triple click on the object and change the name.
Finding it tedious to create again and again? Don't worry, once you create a zip, you can import the created zip to make further changes to existing zip file. To do so, use Import Zip button to add an already created zip OR drag the zip and add it to the tool.

Yeah, update-binary of s6 was not shared previously so i couldn't add its support. However you can fetch update-binary from any working Rom and place it in the same directory as of Tool's directory. If update-binary is present, it will not ask you to select a device and prepare a zip considering your update-binary only.
- Edit - Read post 2 first
I Deodexed my framework folder with Super R's kitchen and patched services jar file to enable signature spoofing for MicroG. The flashable zip should wipe your framework folder and replace it with the new one. I can't test it right now, but try it out if you want. If the flashable doesn't work, and you want to use it, just extract the zip and use file manager in recovery to delete your whole framework folder and copy the new one there, (probably a good idea to wipe dalvik/cache).
Note about deodexing - could possibly make certain aspect of the phone slower. Only thing I have noticed so far is longer boot time...
https://mega.nz/#!E58U2AJb!j0XIq0veM3XdxjMCvjBoOZwQFRIsz3cfvi-rbrSyCU0
Update - so I tried it, and it doesn't flash properly, (some error in the script), but I also found out that it's much more stable to just replace the services jar with the deodexed one, and leave the rest of the framework as-is. So if you want to use MicroG, just extract the services jar from the zip, and then use file manager in recovery to delete the current one, and also delete the 3 services files, (odex, vdex, and art), from /system/framework/oat/arm64.
Then you can flash MicroG...
Zip attachment in first post is a custom Magisk module that was made with smali patcher. It replaces services jar file with a patched one that is deodexed (see above for instructions)...
