Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,

I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

Can anyone point me in the direction to add the /data/app/ functionality to a rom, manually? I was using dsixda's kitchen, but its not working right for some reason anymore. I really want to use it on cm7 as I like to customize my rom before install. But it would be nice to know how to do it on any rom, if there is a difference. Thanks in advance...

Not sure I follow the question. A ROM installs based on its updater-script file and contents in the .zip.
If the zip has files in /data/app and the updater-script instructs package_extract_dir data/app to /data/app then all the files in the .zip's data/app will be copied over to the device's /data/app directory.
Hopefully that helps!
Thank you! It helps a little. Lol. But I know nothing about the updater-script. So I guess that's my next venture. I just want to add apps to my initial install of cm7. I'm slowly trying to build up my knowledge of how this all works. Is there a good thread on how to modify or build and updater-script, so I can mess around with it?

to answer your question specifically:
two steps:
1)add your apk files to a data/app directory inside the .zip file. 7zip works great for modifying zip files in windows.
2) add this line to the updater-script: package_extract_dir("data/app/", "/data/app/");
to answer your question generally about help on creating a ROM .zip file:
I've covered the topic a few times in answering specific questions. I did a quick google search for xda joeykrim updater-script to try and find my previous posts. i generally provide more information than is requested by the poster and link to other posts/guides to make sure i've covered most of the common issues. here are a few:
How to zip a ROM to be flashed - i provide a lot of information including links to some great guides
[Q] update.zip problems
my posts in those two threads should provide *plenty* of information. let us know if you have any other questions! good luck!
Wow. Thanks so much! After work is play time now... I learn alot better through trial and error, so I hope I don't have to keep asking, lol. Now if I could just find a good updated tutorial on compiling cyanogenmod. But that's down the road.

thanks so far for the help, now we are at step 2, anyone can help me out?
see first post for the stuff thats needed >.< thanks
updated first post again
Maybe I'm an idiot but I couldn't find boot.img...do I need to pull that?
Here are the other files:
Removed per OP's request.
To get boot.img, I think you would need to extract it from a blob - I think the tegra kernels hide it from the OS.
Thank you. I have been trying to figure this out for a week now thanks

Please check my thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511747 as I have figure out an alternate... and easier method to get the same thing done. I have also figured out how to set the default OS that the TP would choose while booting up after the UImage has been deleted.
To the OP, I am not trying to hijack your guide and thread. I think this guide is very helpful. I mean no disrespect to you and the time you spent creating the video guide. I am just presenting a new and different method as well as a step that I think you did not go over in the video.
Thank you.

Groovy man! I don't believe in accusing people of hijacking. If you have something to share... SHARE IT!

I see the link for 1.1S, which I have been using and is great, but I do not see the link for 1.11. The change log states that there was an update and it is currently at 1.11. Thanks for the great knowledge and help that make up this forum. :laugh:
Dude it probably would've taken lesser time to just look it up on Google then opening and creating a new thread.
Heres the link if you still need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751595&page=2
Thanks, for the link, I was in that thread. I was asking for the link to the release listed i the change log. I now know that it has not yet been released. Close thread please.
