I've been trying out different boot animations on my daughter's Droid Incredible. All are zip files, but some are flashable and some are just mean to be copied to the system/media folder. How can I tell if a zip file is flashable?

Use a zipping tool (i use 7 zip) > open the zip file in archive and see if it has Meta -inf folder
If meta inf folder is there then it is flashable other wise it isnt

Hey guys
So I have messed with my last android phone and pulling/pushing different APKs to mod/theme them. But how could I make my changes to say.... framework-res.apk into a flashable zip file that can be flashed from recovery? Thanks!
Unzip and you can edit the pngs
Use 7Zip, WinZip, ect. to re zip it
Hello I am trying to create and flashable .zip file that alters just the Audio file. Can I create a zip file that can be flashed on any rom? I want to replace the Audio file with my own in system/media/audio.
Here is my thread to help better explain:

If I put the META-INF file into the zip Does that alter the rom META-INF when someone flashes it?
Any help would be great!!!
Thanks
Just want to know this. Because it is really annoying to decompress and recompress apk file again and again just to edit one file inside the apk.
Thanks
Want to know how to make CWM flashable zips using phone? Here's what you have to do. I have attached a sample zip file which consists of two folders viz. META-INF and system. Now download PowerGrasp.apk from the attached files. Install it, open it and then copy any app which you want as a flashable file. And then paste it in a new folder named "app" under the "system" folder in the "sample CWM.zip" file. Now the compressor of PowerGrasp will pop up. Set the compression level to 6. Now compress it. And you're done.
Now you've successfully made your own cwm flashable zip file. Use CWM recovery to flash.
{Neither of the attached files is my development. I got these files from a friend and posted these to help others who want to make flashable zips on phone}
I always used WinRAR to zip my flashable zips
But recently I wanted to change to 7zip, which seems like a much better option.
The zip is created, but when flashed in TWRP it says 'zip is corrupted'. Note that I use 7zip default settings to zip (Compression-level-Normal, Compression method- deflate)
Maybe some thing I'm doing wrong?
With WinRAR, default settings (Compression level-normal) works fine though...
