[Q] Help Installing ZIP Packages

I searched for this before posting the thread. I recently installed 'SkyROCKeteer-2.0-Alpha1-112311-signed' on my i727R (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343185). And I noticed he has small zip files on his thread for things like battery mods and icon fixes but they're .zip files. My question is how would i install this to my phone? I tried installing the individual .apk apps but that didn't work.
Reboot into CWM recovery flash it like you did the ROM itself.

ZIPme [APP] flashable ZIP maker

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.

Flashable rom zip from /system?

I have clockworkmod backup of cyanmobile & do not have its flashable rom zip. This happened sometimes back when my sdcard got corrupted & hence formatted to bring it back to life. I was left with no backups or other firmwares. So I quickly made backup of cmx at that time. Now I have almost all data except for cmx.
So is there any method to create flashable rom package from /system?? Pls. I dont like to restore /system & boot.img that way everytime. I want it as the usual rom zip. Original download link is dead already & my cmx backup is huge!!. Pls. help me!!

[SOLVED]deodex zip D6603_Customized US_1288-7827_23.4.A.1.232_R6C

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

How to debloat a stock rom zip file before flashing?

I have a stock rom zip file ready to be flashed into micromax c2apls but I want to remove the preinstalled apps before flashing, is there some easy way to do it like deleting some folders or something afer extracting the zip and compressing the zip please let me know.
The Stock ROM Zip-file contains an installer script that controls the installation: simply removing APKs from the ZIP-file may lead into unpredictable results.
