Hi, thank you for this Guide...
I have some questions...
If i want to update e.g. Google Play app with this script, how should I name the file? In my phone /system/apk/ is Phonesky.apk and you wrote that the name of the application should be com.SOMETHING, in this case com.android.vending.
And my second question is, can i delete unwanted apps? What i need to add to script?
Thank You

For system apps no need
Copy it as it is

I'm sorry, I don't understand your reply...
What copy as is? What no need?
So name should be Phonesky.apk, and app will be replaced, right?
I want to delete unwanted apps... Therefore, I ask if you can advise me what to embed to script.

1. rename you apk to com.estrongs.android.pop.apk
2. copy it to /data/app/ (create app folder) in Flashable Zip Maker[Don't Extract].zip
3. edit script updater-script[Edit Then But In Signed Zip]
4. rename to updater-script
5. copy and replace script in Flashable Zip Maker[Don't Extract].zip\META-INF\com\google\android
6. copy Flashable Zip Maker[Don't Extract].zip to Put-Zip-To-Sign-Here folder
7. run ZIP_Auto-Signer.bat
8. enjoy you flashable zip in Finished folder
But i don't know why you want to do it this way... You want to make preinstalled nonsystem app?
If helped don't forget to press Thanx also for Mtakween for his script
