How's it going. I got a new game off 4shared and it's in a .bin file. Now i uncompressed the files and rezipped them thinking I could flash them from recovery. Was just hoping that someone could tell me how to make them apk files so I can install the game. I can try and post the files as a zip or bin ...if needed.
Wait you got a warez version of a game? And you are posting here for help?
from my phone duh

I wasn't sure if I should have or not...but it was more or so me knowing where I could find out how to at least..take files and make the into a apk file! If I wasnt...How do I delete the thread..so no one gets in trouble.
I had problems with 4shared downloading files as .bin, and mp3's as .mpga.
Downloading these files on pc worked fine, and then you can transfer them to the phone.
Also, you can rename the files and they should work, I didn't try this on the .bin files but on the .mpga files it worked fine.

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
I'm looking for a guide which tells how to make a own custom ROM from another one
I mean:
1. How to add/replace/remove apps in /system/app/?
1. a) Do they need to have special permission?
2. How to replace boot screen?
3. How to add custom kernel?
4. How to add Desire lockscreen/flip clock?
5. How to add transparent notofication area?
6. How to add Power menu?
I've been serching forum, but didn't find such tutorial. Would be very thanful to get this knowledge.
I think that will be very useful for maaaany android maniacs
1. Simple delete/copy apks in .zip file using 7-Zip or any other.
2. I belive you need to put bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ folder.
3. Idk
4. For Desire lockscreen you need edited HtcLockScreen.apk; for flip clock - HtcClockWidget.apk
5. Edited /system/framework-res.apk or /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk. I'm not sure
6. You need edited /system/framework/android.policy.jar
69. Resign your zip file using Auto Sign
Attachment doesn't load, but I know about resigning ROM after everything is done
Ad. 1. As I thought, but do the need special permissions? And I also wonder one thing. Are they installed while flashing? Cuz they need to be in system registry, I think...
I have found this: http://wiki.android.com.pl/wiki/Kon...iana_instalowanych_aplikacji_razem_z_systemem
No any permissions etc.
Found this, too. Thanks.
to add a custom kernel you have to unpack the boot image and edit the ramdisk manually, although i think there is an option in dsixda's kitchen to unpack and repack the boot.img
I've got two more questions:
1. When signing, three files are created in folder META-INF: CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.SF. But in other packages I see also com/google/android/update-script in META-INF. How to make it? Is it necessary?
2. If I want to make only flashable update file which changes one app or another file, eg. framework-res.apk, I have to create folder structure: system/framework/framework-res.apk, add it to zip archive (no compression?) and sing using Auto-sing. Am I right?
Edit:
Found nice guide there: update-script syntax

The most important part of a recovery update zip is the update script. It will tell the recovery what to do. If you want an example of a basic update package, which replaces one file in the /system/framework (although a different one) can found here. Open this and read the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script (or whatever its called). The syntax is pretty straight forward and I think its easiest to learn from the examples of updater scripts found here on XDA. For the simple case, of only replacing/adding files to the /system partition you can leave the updater script from the above example as is and only change the files under the /system directory in the zip.
Note, that the above example uses the newer upader-script (I hope I am writing this correctly, I am writing from memory) which also has a binary file in the same directory. Some update zips use the older "update-script" lone text script. For these kind of scripts, you can find a guide here.
Personally, I use RA recovery, and for this recovery you need to sign the update zips (last thing you do of course). At least for RA recovery, both the older "update-script" and the newer "updater-script" work fine, so its up to your personal preference which do you prefer.
Thanks. Found a guide you mentioned a couple of minutes ago and read it.
The more I know, the more questions it brings So one more thing. If I'd like to use the newer version of syntax: "updater-script", I need also to put this binary file in this folder. But I create/edit only "updater-script", binary file is the same for all packages, or do I need to edit it, too?
I built a kernel tool long time ago, very easy to use (only for linux)
1: unzip the file, place it where you want it eg your desktop
2: place boot.img in the working directory
3: double-click the menu icon or launch from terminal
4: it creates a new directory named BOOT-EXTRACT,edit what you want in there or change the kernel etc.. and repack it again via the kernel tool
see screenshot. here for those how want the tool >>> http://www.elelinux.se/tools/kernel_tool.zip
Edit: Only for Hero

Only the updater-script. The binary is a replacement of the script-interpreter I think, but thats just an assumption.

That's mine assuption, too, but would like to know it for 100%
Edit: I see you use it in your kernel update package. So you write only updater-script and place also update-binary next to it?
LOL, you've got help from every well known hero dev on xda, I'm sure you'll have all the info you need now to start building rom's. Good Luck!
Found an app called Easy Flashable zip Builder on this thread. Will test it soon.

But it is for MS Windows, or saw I wrong ? I have also built a tool to javasign files,but should probably write a manual first,it is easy to use but some dependencies maybe not so easy for a beginner with Linux.

Please I really need someone with root and didn't deleted some files do this for me!
If you are not sure you are the person, do it anyway, maybe it can be useful!
Ok. Run the file attached (remember to unzip first) and see if there is 2 files on the folder (after you ran it!), the files are "recovery-from-boot.p" and "install-recovery.sh". If you found those files, please upload them to me, as I download it I give you thanks and mention you on my Thread LordAIOTool, I need the files to use on it!
Thanks
I'm not on Windows, but looking at your batch file, it looks like all you're doing is pulling /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, yes?
If that's the case, here's those two files from my MZ604.
http://ubuntuone.com/4zhk0odoiOaFvTdkHYjbPg
Ok, thanks
Sent from my MZ605 using XDA App
FYI recovery-from-boot.p only works for a specific boot images (namely the stock one that is shipped from google).
If you try to use this file on any other boot image it will fail.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your #10 AIO Tool! Hope you fixed the Mount SD card issue.
can someone help, i screwed up and must have deleted Sectelephonyproviter apk for my GS4 4.2.2. now i'm getting errors all over the map. it's in system/priv-app
thanks in advanced
Pull it from your ROM's zip file (the one you flashed to your device), copy it to your sdcard and from there push it to your phone with your favorite Rom/file explorer.

Here is another option.
I wanted to download the firmware and remove all the bloat stuff from my N9108v.
Downloaded the firmware and it is a zip file. NO worries - unzipped and I don't see any ".tar.md5" files. Just various other files that include "mbn img ext4 bin" files. MNone of these look like working in ODIN. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

HI OP - please remove thread - I just used a different extractor - less vigorous I guess. Did the trick and just extracted to the first layer. Ok - didn't remove the bloatware either...
Thanks.
