Removing files via CWM

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but is there a way using a CWM zip file to delete files? I'd like to rename or delete the shutdown sound ogg files as part of a zip file that I use for restoring missing apps. Any SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks in advance.

flash 2.1 rom from advanced restore in recovery

hi,
im currently running 2.2
005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
and i want to flash my carrier rom (for the wrorenty)
i've told (by anouther guide, who gave the link by the way..) to create a directory in the sd card clockworkmod/backups and there put 2 files
nandroid.md5
system.img
then in cmw, go to beckup and restore, advanced restore
but then i'm getting the massage
"couldn't open directory.
no files found."
what am i doing wrong?
One more folder had to be created in backups, in which you put the restore files. Also though I am not sure the folder name inside clockworkmod is backup not backups. Try out both

[Q] CWM zip

How do I create a zip that can be installed through CWM?
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app
Try App2zip https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.app2zip
Well I didn't meant apps. Imagine to add some tweaks or files to a specific directory. If you open zips that can be flashed through CWM you can see that there is a group of folders that actually tells where the files will be installed

You can download some package for this phone for flash and delete all in /system than you can copy what do you want to flash to /system. Than compresse to .zip
Happy flashing!

[Q] CWM backup-->flashable rom?

I'm a new developer and have applied all my tweaks and edits via root explorer so far. is there a way to change a CWM backup into a flashable rom file for other users to flash? I searched around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anything about it.
Goto this thread here
follow all the setup to install cygwin & kitchen
once it's all setup you can plug your phone in and create a rom
follow the guide (second method) for creating the rom system files by extracting the system folders from your phone (rom you are using)
you can then turn it into a flashable rom zip
I think you just basically extract the CWM backup, then repackage them in 1 zip file (except for the androidsecure backup).

Click to collapse
YOU CAN USE THE CWM BACKUP IN KITCHEN YO MAKE A CUSTOM ROM.BUT YOU CAN'T ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP FILE DIRECTLY AS A CUSTOM ROM.
OTHER HAND YOU CAN MAKE ALSO THIS BACKUP AS A DEODEXED STOCK ROM BY DEODEXING THIS BACKUP FILES.

PRESS THANKS IF I HAVE A BIT SUCCESS TO HELPING YOU.....:thumbsup:
Hmm thats how i make roms that i dont post here though....
In tthe cwm backup u have system.rfs.tar
Extract it using 7zip
U get system.img or u might get a system folder....
Extract the img file using Magic Iso
Open magic iso
In menu..
File>open
Select ur system.img
On the left side pane right click on the disk icon and click extract.select ur destination
Once the files are all extracted copy all of them in a folder named "system"
Now get a meta-inf folder from a custom rom and zip
Meta-Inf and system folder together
U have ur rom...
Ill create a video tutorial for this tomorrow as many people ask this question in different threads of devices....

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.
