By flashable zip do you mean the firmware I flashed??
Basically META-inf is a folder which contained sign data ,update binary and update script ,which is found only on flashable zip. It can be also be presented in apks.

Sorry im a dumb newb but I still dont understand where is the folder I have checked my .md5 firmware file but it didnt have that folder!
When you flash a custom rom, it comes as a zip file. The folder you are talking about is what makes that zip file flashable. It contains scripts that control what recovery does with the contents of the zip
You admitted to being new to this in your other thread. Can I suggest that whatever you're hoping to achieve by modifying scripts might be a bit advanced for you at this stage

You're doing it wrong then. The end result of uot is a flashable zip, so!

Does anyone know where i can find the bluesky skin apk? I flashed ineffabilis, but can't download it from miktweaks. I tried the simple blue v1 theme, that kept bootlooping, so no luck there.

If you have an older version of the app, uninstall it and install it again.

BlueSky.apk is a system app and needs to be in the system/app folder

Sure, just rename the .apk to .zip then use CWM.

That's not what I did,
Its a flashable zip to install the apk in the proper location with the proper permissions.
Renaming the apk to zip will allow you to extract the contents of the apk on the pc, but will not install it on the device
You need to have the proper binary and script within the zip to allow it to install to the device.
Just FYI

I am not sure, but i think there no BS in some mod ROM, and we need to install it. Then we can use wallpapers. Is not it?

Use the zip from an already working rom and then make the changes in the updater-script..if you want i can send over my meta-inf folder

Yeah that would help. I've created my own update script but when I zip it all up how it should look compared to everyone else's rom it just fails when flashing saying bad.

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log

Zoot1, Your META-INF consists of only the com folder.
Are the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files neccesary?

Hello xda members.
First of all maybe i'm in wrong section, sorry about this.
I accidently deleted my Camera from Galaxy Y GT-S5360.
Now i'm trying to recover it, but with no luck.
I tried regular copy/paste to sd card and install - Install failed.
I tried with Root explorer - Install failed.
I tried with ADT install - INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT.
I've no more ideas. And i don't want to reflash new rom, because it's too darn waste of time to reorder everything on my phone.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Greetings!
If you have the apk you need to copy it to system/app. And then fix permissions

Well, when I copy the .apk file it does not appear as installed app.
So, when i try to install it says: failed.
Thnak you.
If your just trying to install the .apk that wont work for a system app unless its signed. Even then it will probably show up as a user app. You have to move it to system/app with root explorer,longpress it and change the permissions so they match the other system apps then reboot.

Annother solution. Download the rom thats on your phone,open archive with 7zip and delete all the apks except the camera and flash it.

Trying to install Josh's Jellybomb rom but it keeps giving a failed error. Here are the steps I did.
I wiped everything and then installed freeza's mi5 update
Wiped again and flashed Josh's Jellybomb rom
That's the furthest I got, it says md5 doesn't match, unable to install zip...
I downloaded the md5 file included on Josh's upload but when I try to flash through TWRP, the md5 file does not even show up..can someone help please?
This would probably get answered quicker in his thread.
But since it looks like your following the right steps I'll give you the quick hint of....
Check to see if the md5 matches the downloaded file before trying to flash it.
The md5 will not show up in recovery.
The md5 is just to check against your download to be sure you have a good copy.
It's possible you downloaded an incomplete or corrupt file.

U can probably use md5 checker in the market.
I'm sure there are a ton of apps that do the same.
I usually just check it on the pc before I copy the file to my phone.
There are a ton of ways to do it. Most good compression tools should have this feature built in even.

Using md5 checker specifically but should be similar to all of them.
Just select file one as the image you want to flash.
Set file two to the md5
Press check
The md5 hash from the file to flash should be an exact match to the md5 checksum
If it's not an exact match then bad download try again.
