Wondering if all zip files (apps, obviously) are flashable. Suppose I download an app in a Zip file and I flash it using CWM, does it get flashed and turn into a system file? I have also noticed that there a images in a few zips I've downloaded and extracted (using androzip). What happens to these images when i flash the zip?
Seriously confused.
Apps and .zips are two different things.
You cant install apps through flashing(Except if someone has made a flashable .zip)
Also apps are not in .zip/.rar format they are in .apk and can be installed through your file manager
Thats why we have a FAQ thread stuck in the section... pls ask questions there..
i have decompressed a rom to modify a file in it, and i have compressed the folder again but while intalling it in recovery i get bad zip file.
Is there something i should do while compressing the folder in order to make it work in recovery?
In TWRP, when you flash a rom you are pointing it to a .zip file, or bootloader or modem or whatever. Great, but when I create a backup of my rom in TWRP it doesnt make a flashable .zip it just makes 4 .win files. If I then go into TWRP and select restore it asks for the location of the .zip and if I go to that location obviously there is none to be found. Do I just use like winrar or 7zip and make it a .zip or what? I dont understand this and I better because If I ever need it Im screwed.
TWRP backups are not zip files. You point it to where TWRP created the backup folder.
I read somewhere that Google has changed the system used for the standard update zip file.
Therefore you have to convert some .dat files to .img files and .img files to a standard readable folder.
This I understand, however how do I reverse the process above to get back to the .dat file and get a lolipop compatible flashable zip?
Hi all,
I needed original Build.prop, Boot and stock recovery from my RUU package. I successfully extracted the zip file from .exe file. But I found many zip files (about 25 zip files) in the rom.zip and I couldn't extract any of those 25 zip files. Is there any way to un-zip those files to get stock files to use later?
