[WIP] Xoom Update Script

In the IRC channel, bigrushdog and myself have created an update script for the xoom. Its a WIP, but we have used it to install themes, apps, and even the current tiamat kernel. Just put the files/folders into the /data or /system folders inside the zip. Flash in recovery. Thanks to bigrushdog we now have a script that does not require busybox. This one will wipe cache and push whatever you put in data or system.
Wipes Cache and Dalvik Cache

Awesome, thanks!

Basically this allows you to flash files, instead of pushing them. Good for kernels, themes, apps and one day roms.

do i just flash this zip in recovery? and then what?

You add the files you want to flash, like say BIGDX theme files (framework and bootanimation). Then you flash this in recovery, and it will install the files, over writing the originals. You just need to make sure you put it in the right directory.

sorry and what directory would that be? trying to learn here and if i get you right i will be adding files to this zip?

Well it would depend on where you want the file to go, that is the directory you put it in. Yes inside the zip. Best thing i can do, is if you wanna pop by the irc channel #xoom on freenode, i could walk you through one.

ok definately how do i get there? i just use xoomforums and xda :-/

which zip should we be using? Is the only difference is that the wipe.zip will erase the original file during the flash process? So I need to place an apk file into the system folder within the update.zip to get it to flash.

The wipe just has cache wipes, so you can use either. I'll edit it when I get home.

Bump for update

so if your file is within a subfolder in system would you make the same subfolder in the update script (in the appropriate folder of course)? My guess is yes.
EDIT
Yes I got it. But what is the best way to zip it back up. I used winzip and my first try caused the install to abort? The 2nd time I tried it I just moved stuff around in the original update script using winrar and it worked. My guess is winzip f'd it up somehow.
Thanks

I usually just add stuff to the zip. Never actually unzip it. Do not try to rename stuff inside the zip though, always makes it fail.

[1st try]Create a CWM flashable zip to place apk file in /data/app

i try to make a cwm flashable zip today
see some xda post and finally flashed apk in /data/app
but i don't the script is actually right or not, just know it work
i follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545165
and this
sign+ v1.2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997180
1. download the data.zip
2. unzip it and place the apk you want to flash into /data/app
3. edit update-binary file
in META-INF\com\google\android
i add following script
ui_print is the words you want to show in cwm
ui_print(" PLACE YOUR TEXT HERE ");
ui_print("----------------------");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
show_progress(1, 15);
ui_print("Copying files...");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
unmount("/data");
ui_print("Unmounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
refer [] AL [] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545165
)
2 important notes here though in order to avoid problems:
* Each line of the updater-script MUST end with a ";" (no " ") ;
* There HAS TO BE at least one blank line after the last ( ; ) line of code.
4. zip META-INF and data folder to zip file as storage(no compression)
5. use sign+ v1.2.2, it will sign the zip file
6. then you can put it on you phone and flash it
if you want to flash the apk in system/app/
just change the name of folder from data to system
and the script also change "data" to "system"
i don't know the script is 100% correct or not
if it is not please correct me

You know, it would be much easier to simply place the apk in /data/app using a root file explorer... it would save you all the fuss. Unless you're trying to automate something/make a CWM package for release...

Hi,
Like as said FredFS456 it's the simply way.
Or use a "generic" CMW.zip like this:https://rapidshare.com/files/1752806149/CMW_data_app.zip
Put your app in /data/app inside the zip file (with winrar for example) and it's good to flash it...For you,you ask for a CMW.zip just for /data/app...
With right permissions.
In any case you can take another CMW.zip file for another apps or files,in the theme and apps or dev section there is a bunch of CMW.zip that you can take for your use (/system/app-/data/app-/system/framework-etc...),just erase/remplace your files...

I also need a generic CMW zip to replace the framework-res.apk for my gradient mapping fix Anyone got one?

Hi,
Here:https://rapidshare.com/files/288220955/CMW_Framework.zip
According it's just for your request.
But guys...It's so difficult to take any CMW zip file?As I said above there are around depending on what you want...
Just take a zip and modify it what you want...unless you take a zip for /system/app and you want a /system/framework..
At worst take a complete ROM,delete all files in each folder (keep folders) and add what you want in each folders (like system/app-System/framework-etc) and erase all except the "META-INF" folder!
CREDITS:A thanks goes to all those who I took these CMW zip files...

No,I do this when I want a CWM.zip,I never signed the zip and everything is good.
Just be careful what you put in the zip file and what it is intended...

create flashable zip question

I have 4 computers that I use and 2 of them have adb drivers installed, the other 2(work computers that i am not really allowed to install much on) does not. To be able to push files to my htc desire on the computers that i do not have adb drivers installed I need a flashable zip. I only want to push files such as ringtones, /system apps, bootanimation.zip files and such, i have no intention of changing the framework or the theme and so on. So could anyone point me in the direction of where could i find a ready empty zip file like this or a tutorial in how to make one?
P.S. one of the uses for this is when i am out on a business trip i do not have my personal computer with me, so if brut-maps gets updated i want to be able to push it to the phone without adb.

Hello.
I only have basic knowledge on the subject, so i'm just gonna explain what i do when i need to flash something via flashable .zip.
1) Get a simple flashable .zip used to flash files anywhere on the /system partition.
2) Open it with WinRAR or 7zip or whatever. Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android/. There you will find two files: update-binary and updater-script. You need not touch the binary, because it's the same for all flashable .zips. What you need to do is extract then edit the updater-script, as that tells the recovery what to do with the flashable .zip's contents.
3) Editing the updater-script: let's say we need to create a .zip to flash a new Mail.apk to /system/app. The updater-script's content would need to be:
Code:
show_progress(0.1, 0);
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
delete("/system/app/Mail.apk");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
unmount("/system");
The "show_progress" lines are self-explanatory. The "mount" command tells the system to mount the /system partition. We then delete the old Mail.apk and tell the recovery where we want to extract the contents of the .zip. After everything's done, we unmount /system.
Add the edited updater-script to the archive, overwriting the original one. Be sure to set your archiver to "Normal" compression level.
4) Creating the proper directory structure: again, let's say we need to flash Mail.apk to /system/app and that we have properly configured the updater-script for this task. We now need to create a folder named "system" (anywhere on the PC), place a subfolder named "app" inside it, then place the new Mail.apk inside the "app" subfolder. We then add the whole structure to the flashable .zip (making sure that there are no other folders in it than "META-INF") and that's that! Again, make sure you use "Normal" compression.
5) Copy the .zip to your SD card, reboot into Recovery and flash the .zip.
6) Enjoy!

thank you very much, that was exactly the kind of information i was looking for.

You're welcome.
Here's a simple flashable .zip i used to replace media_profiles.xml in the /system/etc folder when i didn't have a PC handy and my phone wouldn't boot. You can edit it and use it for your own purpose.

[Q] Install Google Talk (on Jelly King 2.0)

Hello!
I have installed Jelly King 2.0 on my Wildfire S (S-ON) and I really like it. But I miss the Google Talk app. I know that I could flash another GAPPS zip, but I think that would use too much space. So, how can I install just the Google Talk app without all the other gapps?
Here is what I already tried - and what didn't work:
0. Search for an solution in this Forum
1. Take the talk.apk from gapps and try to install
2. Put the talk.apk in /data/app
3. Put it in /system/app - couldn't move anything into that folder in spite of being root. I guess because of S-ON?
My next approach would be to create a flashable zip with just Google Talk - but I don't know how to do that. Or is there another way?

here you go.
i made zip of gtalk.
just boot to recovery and flash it.

Thanks!
Some more questions:
1. Shouldn't the Talk.apk be in the folder /system/app/ instead of just /app/? (I am comparing to a gapps zip in which it is located there)
2. How can I create such a zip-file myself? I don't know what the META-INF folder should content. Could I just copy this folder from any gapps.zip? And could I take the Talk.apk from there as well? (I would be more comfortable about using the app if I knew its source)
edit:
Okay, I took a look into the files in META-INF...and I think the answer to my first question is in this line of the file "updater-script":
package_extract_dir("app", "/system/app");
Anyway: Where did you get the "update-binary" file from? And I also can't see what the other three files (CERT.SF, CERT.RSA and MANIFEST:RSA) are for as the files they are providing a SHA1-checksum (?) for are not even in the zip-file.

first for your information.
s-on dosent mean you can't install apps in /system/app or anywhere else.i have s-on too.with s-on you can do alot of stuffs.you need s-off to just flashing some radios,dual-boot etc(mostly advanced stuff)
so,s-on isn't problem.probably mostly all people here has s-on.
1. yeah talk.apk is in /system/app & gapps also installed in /system/app.about your gapps zip i need to see it.but might you flashed wrong gapps.
2. you can make flashable zips easily.just you need to put apps,framework,scripts (anything you want in correct order)
then time for meta-inf file.all things in that file remained unchanged except updater-script.
you need to edit updater-script to make zip work..
e.g. you put talk.apk in zip then how phone know where to install and how to ?
so your updater script will like this:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("app", "/system/app");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
first line for mount system.
then zip will install contains of app in /system/app
and third line for unmounting system.
i sent you PM which contains more detailes about making zip.
if you need any other help,feel free to tell.

Thanks, that helped a lot! The problem is solved for me now.
I was just editing my last post when you answered - so everything below "edit" can be ignored.

yeah and about other files,they are common in every zip.
update binary is needed so phone can understand updater script.
all in one solution,when we make zip we just need to edit updater script all other files in meta-inf will be as it as.no change at all.just put whole folder in zip.

[SCRIPT] DeBloat roms

*****DISCLAIMER: Make a full Nandroid backup of your phone before using these scripts. I'm not responsible for damaging or bricking your phone.
DO NOT FLASH THESE ZIP FILES IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CREATE NANDROID BACKUPS OR RESTORE YOUR DEVICE.*****​
What is it:
If you like to add and remove extra files to your roms zip while flashing the roms, this flashable script will help speed up the installation process. This script is to delete unnecessary apps (ie. bloatwares) from roms. The zip file of this script also contain specific folders that you can put in apps, ringtones, etc which will be copied to the phone when flashed.
I created this scipt with my limited knowledge of linux commands for personal uses, they come as flashable zip files that you can flash using custom recoveries such as "CWM" or "TWRP". I received helps from joesmammafat with the commands so thanks to him.

WHAT IT DO:
--Delete unnecessary apps preloaded by popular roms (CM, AOKP, PA, Slim).
--Delete unnecessary Google apps downloadable from PlayStore (important core Google services are kept).
--Delete unneeded media files from the "/system/media" directory.
--Delete non-English PicoTTS's languages.
--Copy everything from the "system" folder from the zip file to the /system partition of the device.
IMPORTANT:
--The script file is called "updater-script" located in the folder "\META-INF\com\google\android\" of the zip package.
--Some 'delete' commands are commented out with a # sign, this means those lines will not execute. I comment out lines that will delete apps that might be essential for most users. If you want those apps deleted anyway, remove the # sign before the commands.
--This package contain a folder called "system" in it, with a few common subfolders such as "app" and "media". You can add your own APKs, bootanimation and ringtones into the appropriate folders, which will be copied over to your device once you flashed the package.

F.A.Q.
How do you use this script packages?
This is a flashable zip package that you can flash using custom recoveries such as TWRP. They are meant to be flashed after a factory reset or a clean rom install. Remember you are taking a risk by using them and I'm not responsible for damages to your phone, make a Nandroid backup before flashing them.
How to edit the script file?
Open up the zip file, go into the folder: \META-INF\com\google\android\ and extract the file updater-script and edit it with a text editor. If you are using Windows, I recommend using Notepad++ to edit the script file. While editing it, rename the file to "updater-script.sh", it will be much easier to edit with NotePad++ since the commands will become color coded. Do not use Wordpad or Microsoft Office, the file needs to be in unix format otherwise it will fail to work. Copy the new 'updater-script' back into the zip file when you're done.
I get "E: error executing updater binary in zip" when trying to flash the zips?
Could be for a number of reasons. Your version of custom recovery may not work with these scripts or its 'update-binary' file doesn't work with your device possibly. You may have an encrypted device. Maybe you edit the script, but made a typing or syntax error in the process.
I added an APK into the "/system/app folder/" to flash, but the app doesn't work afterward:
Some apps required "lib" files to work properly, which is located inside the APK itself, they needed to be placed in the '/system/lib' folder. Some apps will simply not work installed in the /system partition and will need to be installed the traditional way.
I flashed your zip files and now my phone is bootlooping / bricked.
Sorry, should have read the warning disclaimer above and made a back up first.
