[Q] A really easy method of making a flashable zip ??

hey i was wondering if there was an easy way to make a flashable zip that would flash stuff that i normally use, like replace the mms.apk and boot animation and add a lib to the /system/lib folder . i mean yeah i can keep just manually doing all that , but as a cyanogen nightly user , it gets annoying , any tips ? or guides that someone can redirect me to so i can make a multiflash zip ?
if possible a tool with a GUI would be great :good:
i saw a tool that works with apks, but im flashing more than apks, so that didnt work out

Some themes will be flashable zips. To check if its flashable open up the zip. If you see a META INF folder its most likely a flashable zip.
Before flashing a theme make a nandroid backup just incase. All you need to do in most cases is simply flash the file through recovery and reboot.
Other themes will be apks, and must be selected through theme chooser to be applied.

need flashable mms.apk zip

Can someone please make a flashable CWM zip of mms.apk . i deleted the build in messaging apk by mistake and cant install it anymore, using root installer too.

how can i install . help me my brothers

my rom is stock odex i used universal deodexer and deodexed my.system/app and system/framework folders . now my question.
how can i install that app and framework folders to my phone ??(i tried replace with root explorer but it does not .(
how can i make thats to a flashable zip?

but
my problem is not that . i can make a flashable zip . its working fine but after i flashed old .odex files doesnt delete. how can i add it to meta inf for when flashing delete app and replace new app and same for framework

No need to create any kind of meta inf you just need to find any flashable zip may be of some kind of theme or update package of your rom if available and just edid it using zarchiver(android) or winrar(windows) simply delete eveything inside the system folder inside the zip except the app folder then delete everything inside app folder then put the apk you want to replace in the app folder. And you are done. Its recommended to sign the zip using apktool(windows) or zipsigner(android) but you can skip this step. Thats about making a flashable zip.
But as far as i know you need to have deodnexed rom to make any changes to system.
Anyways this thread should have been posted in q&a section.
