Hey guys,
this afternoon i decided to write a simple C program which creates the updater-script for an update.zip specific for our g3
Version 2.0 is there
I rewrote the original Version and made it MUCH more userfriendly
The Program will create an Folder named "Projekt" in its root directory.
In this folder it creates the directory META-INF\com\google\android. There will be the updater-script and the update-binary
Moreover, if you choose the system option it will create a folder called "system" in this "Projekt" folder. After it has created
this folder the program will call the windows explorer and opens this new system folder.
Now the user knows what he has to do! He should copy his files into this folder
The Program won't go on until the user answered the question "ready with copying" with yes.
The same is in the data option.
You can choose between:
.) copy system folder to /system
.) copy data folder to /data
.) free chooseable path to a file you want to delete
.) display a guide for making update.zips
After you are ready you hast have to zip the folders inside "Projekt" and you are done
Pls tell me if you like
I don t see where to choose language. Make it in English.
ohh f*ck i forgot that cause i made it for a german user :/
ill upload a new version later

Hello!
I'd like to create update.zip to integrate app wich can be flashed to any or almost any rom. I'd like to put some essential app in it. Anybody can tell me how can i do this, or is there any guide for this?
Download and install the latest android sdk .also Java jdk find and download autosign. Do this all by searching. I would download a custom rom as a template for your update.zip. extract the data folder and the Meta folder and put into a new folder, go into Meta folder keep clicking through the folders inside Meta one till you find update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the part saying something like copy package DIRATA and the show progress before it. Once that's all done put the Apps you want into the data folder zip up the data and Meta folders, when you open the zip folder you should only see those 2 no others! Resign it using autosign and flash

+1. Niiice,... A few questions though if you dont mind.
1,... Can I use this command that I use to sign my bootscreens to sign the update.zip ... "java -jar C:\SignApk\SignApk.jar C:\SignApk\testkey.x509.pem C:\SignApk\testkey.pk8 C:\SignApk\bootscreen.zip C:\SignApk\bootscreen_signed.zip" ... and just change the file name as needed? ... Or do the .pem and .pk8 files need to be changed to something else?
2,... If Im using a base custom ROM with Apps2SD, all apps will be installed to the SD right?... Or do they install to the internal memory if you add the apps to the ROM itself?
3,... Is it also possible to add the app and game data (i.e.. game saves) to the ROM or is it best to use a backup programme?
Hope someone can help?
Thanks!
I tought it will harder, but it worked flawlessly
I'd be interested in this too:

It all goes to the Data partition so... If your ROM is using apps2sd and its turned on (for instance im using androbin and i have done the command "apps2sd on" in terminal) the apps you install from then on will go to your sdcard partition.Quite a handy thing on this androbin rom is in sd card and storage it tells me my secondary partition!
Ddotpatell....
1.Yes you can use that command
2.answered above.
3.I would use a backup program personally
Thanks BONESY, much appreciated.
Well theres a apk in /system/app/DioDict_for_Android_LG_Swift_India.apk
permissions 0644(rw,r,r)
and theres a static library /system/lib/libDioDictEngineNative.so
and i think there was a dictionary database in the bundled mmc (a foolder called edictionary) /sdcard/
COpy these files to the directories listed above and voila! your dictionary is back
ROOT UR PHONE ,INstall ROOT explorer ,copy files, set permissions and it worked on my megatron ROM... thought might as well share it...
NOTE: If u took the NANDroid backup of your phone before installing customised ROM ...u can always extract the files mentioned above by using unyaffs.exe http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?w=unyaffs&size_i=0&size_f=100000000&engine_r=1&engine_m=1&engine_h=1
and use the system.img in your nandroid backup folder
didnt make nandroid before flashing ....
Well then look for it on filecrop.com
Can you attach the .so file here?
im willing to give my ozone wifi pass 1 gb /2 month / 2mbps to who uploads the edictionary database :|
the DIoDict Library
the library is included..i cud have uploaded that edictionary folder too..But i m on sodding 2.5g network(Its INdia) and can't even upload that..
bro i need tht edictionary :|
i formated my mmc card and lost the edictionary folder and the contents . can any one post it here if the have it ?
Is THIS the database?? Its what i could find on my card's edictionary.
But since i've installed a different ROM now, I too need the .apk for the dictionary if anyone can share...
thanks a lot
did not find diodict in my stock..can anybody upload it diodict apk
thanks in advance..
DioDict Dictionary for Custom Roms.

Hello everyone!
Here is a zip that contains all the files needed to make Diodict Dictionary work on custom roms (or any rooted phone):
mediafire[.com]/?umr5xvhze4wa5rc (remove "[" and "]" from the link. I am not allowed to post links yet.)
1. It contains the DioDict apk file which is in the "TitaniumBackup" folder. You can also use TitaniumBackup to restore it by placing the folder at the root of your sdcard.
2. It contains "libDioDictEngineNative.so" which you must place in system/lib folder. You will need 'root' and 'write to system folder' permissions for this. Not a big deal if you're on a custom rom.
3. It contains the databases for "Collins Cobuild Advanced", "Oxford Advanced Learners" and "StarPublications ENG-HIN" in the "edictionary" folder. You must place this folder at the root of your sdcard. The first two "Collins Cobuild Advanced" & "Oxford Advanced Learners" are awesome english dictionaries which will work offline. I don't know what the third one ("StarPublications ENG-HIN") is.
Let me know if any issues. Click thanks if I helped.
And @ccreadcc: Where is my ozone wifi pass? kidding....
Everything worked except that i was not able to paste the file.I am on CM7.
I use root explorer:
"you cannot paste here the file system is read-only"
I tried to edit the permission but say"some file do not allow permission changes"
Please Help
solution
Mount /system as writable
I don't know about Root explorer. I use ES File Explorer. In ES Explorer under Settings> Root Settings> Check both the options and you'll be able to paste the file there.
i had 2 wifi passes unused.. wonder where i put it xD
i just did !
i got success to install this on official 2.3 rom
just copy "libDioDictEngineNative.so" to system/lib folder
after that install com.diotek.diodict2.swift_india-a1c589b5691365fa3b910b4435b6d4ec.apk as u install other software .
it works for me !
thanks !!

It has been asked before... and I think I have the hang of some of it... BUT...
I have been modifying some of my app icons via xRecovery. The method I used was via 7zip and replaced the iconfiles through there... I have been using [FW 2.1.1.A.0.6] Black HTC Theme for X8/X10mini/pro ~XRECOVERY~ [UPDATE:11.03.2011] and the enclosed "app-update.zip" via xRecovery.
Now to my questions!
1: Where do I find my installed apps (apk´s) on the internal storage? I use RootExplorer and was thinking about copying apk´s to the memorycard and then transfer to my PC, modify them there
2: Can I use the "app-update.zip" method to all selected apps? For example... the App-update.zip" contains "SemcContacts.apk" and it workes fine to change this way... but can I just put "handcent.apk" or "Ndrive.apk" in the same "app-update.zip" without any problems?
I hope I have explained so you guys can understand what I´m talking about...
Best regards
Manneman, Sweden
1: "/system/app" and "/data/app"
2: if you do it with 7zip yeah it will work if you give them the same name and place in the app-update.zip
example you want to replace "com.blablabla.hey" in direction /data/app
you need to name the app "com.blablabla.hey" and in the app-update.zip it need to be placed in the dir /data/app
Hmmm... Ok, I found the *apk´s under "system/app"... no worries there. I just replace the png "CalendarProvider.apk" that represents the icon. via 7zip. After that I implement it with "app-update.zip"
"app-update.zip" contains two folders... META-INF and system. The system-folder contains the folder app witch has some apk´s... That these apk´s is coming from "system/app" on the internal storage I understand. So in order to install modified apk from "data/app" I have to create a folder in my apps-update that is named data/apps with my modified apk´s?
So in the end my "apps-update" will look like this:
apps-update.zip containing Folders META_INF, system and data coresponding to the apk´s I have changed...
All this will be done with 7zip without extracting anything....

yup your right BUT!
in META_INF if you click through all maps that are in there you will end up with a file called update-script
drag it on you desktop
open it with wordpad(!)
search this line "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:"
and paste this underneath it
"copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:"
without the quotes ofc

Awww...sweet. That was just what I needed to hear. I was sure that something like that had to be added!
BTW... the modified apk´s will overwrite the original ones, right? No backup-crap (like Windows) is made by the Xrecovery installation?
Thanx!!!
Worked like a charm!!!
Thank you for all the help!!!
Well...I take that back...
I just replaced the iconfiles with my modded ones... the same name and size as the original. Everything done within 7zip...
All the apk´s within the "system"-folder worked fine... bur the ones within the "data"-folder uninstalled instead. In Appbrain the are still installed but in the drawer the are gone. I had a couple of them as shortcuts on my homescreen and the I get the message that thay are not present on my system.
Thank god it was only a couple of apk´s i modded so I reinstalled them via Market.
I added the line as You described but something must have happened?

Can anyone port this bootanimation for our tattoo, or explain me how to do that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005201
its much better than the one in nfinity rom....would be great if anyone could help!
I think that it's included in pot kitchen. You can try it.
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
If it isn't, maybe you'll find another one(have a lot)
They succeeded
Download the file bootanimation.zip
Extract on the desktop the two folders and the file.
Open desc.txt and change the two numbers, write 240 400
Now you have to use winzip, not winrar, to create another file called bootanimation.zip put in the two folders and files changed by choosing "let me choose the specific .." and "zip: no compression".
Any other method has failed
You can also use the original .zip file but the images are too large for the tattoo display
You can follow the instructions of the link
"If you use a custom ROM copy it in the folder data / local
If you use CyanogenMod7 ROM copy it in the folder system / media "
You can use "root explorer" or "adb"
Instructions for adb are:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip (/data/local /...)
adb reboot
First make a backup of the rom.
sorry, I used google translate
I made edited bootanimation.zip as you say so.. But when I reboot phone I only see black screen.
sure you use winzip as described?
this issue not to use Winzip correctly.
I have redone the same procedure with the original bootanimation and works fine
if you fail to do here is the link
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WNWIQW7Z
(rename to bootanimation)
If you use some app to change bootanimaton, then you can try puish the file in / data / local
This is because Android first look in / data / local and then in / system / media
I didn't use 'no compression'.. Now it works :]
Your edited bootanimation works great.. Thanks
I edited this bootanimation for our tattoo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555
You can download it from here http://www.multiupload.com/S9T7H8PM03
Well finally i find a solution for my black custom bootscreen.
I made one personal, and was in despair because i could'nt make it appear!
I renamed each files ,changed the file type, tried to make files be a multiple of pic/sec...
Thanks to liupos i found that the winrar compression was the prob

Its quite simple. Download a superuser.zip file that is for your device. Extract it. You will find two folders, System and Meta-Inf. Open System folder and you will find a folder called app inside it. Open it and delete the superuser.apk file and copy your modded system file into it.
For eg., Let the file be Gallery2.apk .
Now open META-INF folder -> com -> google -> android. You will find a file called updater-Script. You have to edit that file. There will be a line, where the system mount command is given. Do not do anything until that line. Delete the lines below it and enter these lines.
delete("/system/app/Gallery2.apk");
# [here Gallery2 is the name of the apk file you copied]
package_extract_dir("system","/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
Now rezip the folders together and you have your own flashable zip to install modded system files.
Hit thanks if this helped! :laugh:
