can someone smarter than me help me or point me in the right direction to convert my updater-scripts to edify. i think im sort of getting it but i want to make sure because i'm not a programmer. for instance, is the update-binary file required or just updater-script? also, the code posted below, it what i've come up with for flashing my themes, is it correct? and will it work with the new recoveries?
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for istallation...");
ui_print("Wiping Cache / Dalvik...");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
i am unsure whether or not i will have to mount the specific partitions for data and cache for this to work. i can always leave that part out but the less the person flashing needs to do the better. if i do have to mount in the script will the code below work for just a simple theme flash.
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for installation...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock4", "/system");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
Anyone?

No one? Hmmmm?
I'm still not too too familiar but I have played around with them a little. From what I understand so far the binary is what the recovery actually uses. dsixda's kitchen will make them and you can have it convert update to updater scripts automatically.
Usually I just look at how others have done it and go from there.

I had another link somewhere that gave all of the different commands and their syntax but I can't find it for nothing atm.

package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/framework");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

then i removed systemui.apk
and pasted from the one i got from uot in to my roms zip file..
and then took the zip file and pasted in my cell,
flashed the rom.zip in via cwm recovery ..
unforrtunately i dont have a status bar :O plz some one gimme a hand and guide a lil to integrating uot and my rom .. and making one flashable zip
ny one der to help ? :'(
will someone help me plzzzz??/
sorry, i just replied on your other thread, lol. After you have cooked up your uot theme, download it and copy it to your sd card. then just go into cwm recovery and flash the .zip of the theme u built, any mods you made in the uot kitchen will be applied to your rom. Thats the simplest way to do it.
Right How would I create a updater-binary I know how to for Updater-script.
And many thanks in advance I l give you thanks if you can answer?
You can extract the binary from any update.zip script, you don't need to build your own.
Can you take a look at my Theme Im making If i upload it to mediafire Its Getting installation aborted status 6 but im using notepad++?

Jeff and I have started our planning to determine what direction we want to go and mods we are aiming for.
We're as anxious as anyone to get going
Question on this, hoping you guys dont mind.
This script is for the international gs3 to flash a theme (framework, systeui) as you can see it points to 0p9.
International code
Code:
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
said I changed the code to 14 could I flash a new framework with a zip?
Code:
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

I already have a updater-script that works perfectly for our device. Took me a while to make and clean up the bugs but its done I will release when the ROM is ready. For this specific line ill get on my computer and get it for you bud just wait a bit.

Anyone know wwhat partition is for the modem?
im on my phone. expect terrible typos.
Hey guys
Hope you don't mind me dropping in here.
I am a bit puzzled about the EFS in these variants of the S3.
I myself have an I9300, so can't investigate myself.
The question at hand is, due to the lack of a "nv_data.bin" in /efs, is it still enough to backup this folder and dump it's partition (mmvblk0p11) to have a proper backup for when the IMEI corrupts and these things....
Background is, I am working on tweaking my app "kTool" to be compatible with these variants of the S3 to make proper EFS backups....
Anyone able to shed some light into the pitch black dark here?
Since the dual-boot kernels require some specialized modifications to the ROM zip that are leading to a little confusion, I threw together an app that will take the zip for the "second" ROM and modify it to be compatible.
Currently the included file browser can be used to select files, or you can open a third-party file browser, such as Root Explorer, and use the send option on the file you want modified. Once the file is modified, the required folders in /data/ are checked and created, if they are not already there.
Direct installation is now available as a post-modification option. This feature is in beta and uses a specialized class to read and translate the existing updater-script commands into busybox commands. This has only received limited testing, so please backup (including cache if coming from a previous dual-boot configuration)
Available through Litter Box on Google Play
Also built into SKU Kernel Remote - The All-In-One Modification Masterpiece
Re: [TOOL / APP] Dual-Boot Builder
Tested with Ubuntu and AIRKernel. Install the core Ubuntu zip, modify the device one, wipe cache, install the modified zip then the kernel.

You need a dual-boot kernel. The app modifies the second ROM, for example MIUI, to install properly for the dual-boot kernel to work. There are dual-boot kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183721 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39087629&postcount=1040
Re: [TOOL / APP] Dual-Boot Builder
I am preparing a new version that includes a walkthrough video of using the app. It seems the version on market had already started getting comments from people trying to use the app with OTAs. They really need to open that reply feature to all developers. Too many oblivious downloaders out there.

Once the file is modified, the required folders in /data/ are checked and created, if they are not already there.
The next step is direct installation. Copying to cache instead of system is easy enough, but translating all of the additional install garbage in an updater-zip into live commands is where it gets tricky. This could be bypassed with the commands to gather a list of installs for recovery and send the zips there, but this will require some research to make sure one app works with every recovery.
Note to mods: The plan is to have the app become capable of also installing the kernel, the ROM, etc directly. This is a development thread.
Edit: There is a version available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loungecat.dualbuild for automatic updates

Version 1.1 had an issue with not cleaning up the folder properly during extraction. This was fixed in 1.2 and the newest one (1.4) took care of when the line had additional parameters.

What are the contents of the original updater-script?

So just to get this correct:
1. Make sure dual boot kernel is installed.
2. Fix Rom with apk.
3. Reboot and install fixed rom.
Correct?

The only thing I can figure is that lines 5 do not have the "0" as do lines 3. Could this be what's causing Error 7? Very interested in getting this going.

It's not removing the format it's replacing it. I think it's probably checking that second and not first which would end up missing it
