Hey everyone just thought that this info might be useful to the this community...
this info is already available, though in parts, over XDA forums.. so i thought that i will try n make it easily available/understandable to all users here...
seems this info is useful to other android users too... so will try and post generic as well as X10 specific info...
WARNING:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FILES THAT U CREATE USING THIS INFO
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF U LOOSE UR DATA WHEN TRYING THIS OUT
REMEMBER THIS DEALS WITH SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS AND ANY WRONG COMMAND CAN RENDER UR CURRENT ROM UNUSABLE/BROKEN
SO BE SURE U CAN USE FLASHTOOL TO FLASH STOCK FW IF U END UP WITH UNUSABLE/BROKEN SYSTEM
DO NOT CIRCULATE THE UPDATE.ZIPs CREATED UNLESS U ARE CERTAIN THAT THEY WORK PROPERLY
ALSO DO NOT FLASH ANY RANDOM UPDATE.ZIP WHICH U DOWNLOAD UNLESS U CHECK OUT THE CODE WRITTEN IN THE UPDATE SCRIPT
now that i have scared u enough lets begin...
[BASICS]
there are two versions of update scripts (codes/syntax) which can be used:
Amend (update-script)
Edify (updater-script) [along with update-binary]
both of the above mentioned versions use different syntax...
both of these versions work on the recoveries currently available for x10 (xRecovery & FreeXperia Recovery)
ONLY EDIFY SYNTAX IS SUPPORTED BY xRecovery v1.0.0 (latest recovery for X10)
these files can be found in "\META-INF\com\google\android" of the zip package... depending on which file update-script OR updater-script is present in the update.zip u will understand which update scripts (codes/syntax) is to be used...
[SYNTAX | READING MATERIAL]
following are very useful guides which cover most of the available syntax...

Edify (updater-script) by coolexe
[WIP] How to Write an Updater-Script with Edify Code
UID and GIDs [related to setting proper permissions]
[IMP] info related to Edify for ROM makers
[PROGRAM | APPLICATION]
now that u follow the differences lets get the program to make update.zips and sign them...
Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator by Daneshm90
its a windows only tool and i personally use it regularly to make update.zips
read through that post as it is pretty straight forward on how the application works... there is even a video... and it even signs the zip...
this program basically handles (modifies/creates) only Amend (update-script) but u can just place ur modified updater-script (along with the update-binary) in <ROOT_DIR_OF_PROGRAM>\placehere\META-INF\com\google\android\
and execute update.bat to make the update.zip package.... this program automatically signs the zip so u wont have any errors while flashing...

anantshri is working on Ubuntu Lucid CHROOT but the images are around 140 to 700 MB compressed and 3.5GB uncompressed... so as of now it doesnt make much sense to create update.zips for them... better option is to uncompress them on the PC and then place the extracted files on SDCARD (card reader/etc)...
thats wonderful...
Hi Doomlord,
thats a wonderful work..i mean thats a perfect explanation of creating update.zips...
another alternative, which i use frequently to update apps in system forlder only is..
go to titanium back up options and create update.zip
now select this update.zip from mounted SD card and then open it with 7zip or any zip editor.
then replace system/app forlder ->app to any app u want to install in system..
save and close the file. and u r good to go...
just an alternative which i personally found easy...but nothing to take away from your awsum thread here..keep the good work..thanks..

ah thats a nice idea to do it on the device itself!
u can even add specific files which need to be placed on other partitions (SYSTEM / DATA / SDCARD) when flashing it from recovery... though u will have to edit update-script for the recovery to copy those files..
Root Explorer:
1. Long press on folder you want to zip
2. Select Compress into .zip

hi! thank you!
i am sorry but even i dont know how to build a rom from sources... wht most chefs do is just mix files from various roms, using FreeX10 as base and then adding content from other roms (of other devices)
thank you DooMLoRD
ok great , but i need to know what is the important files should copy from Freex10 to other roms ?

have found a other methode for make a update.zip fast and easier!!
hi..
I have found a other methode for make a update.zip fast and easier!!
You can downloading a update.zip, whatever you want ... for example;
you downloaded update3.zip. open it with 7zip
in update3.zip> (you have 3 folders> data, META-INF, system)
is missing you as a path,
for example, because you want to update an audio fix .. can you just move the lib folder in System Folder.
if you want to update system apps, you can move the desired app in the System folder> app
framework-res> in system> framwork
the META-INF file from update3.zip should always be maintained.
It is important that you choose a update.zip,! Since the directories and systemlinks / already been set with the open-mentioned program are correct!
can not explain it better .. this method saves me a lot of time and is, I think the easiest way.

so u dont believe in setting permissions in the update.zip is it?
the most important thing is that u READ the update-script / updater-script PROPERLY before using any update.zip... and modify it for ur needs...
Create it in mnt since its a rootfs set perms rxrxrx Meta then set your perms 4 w.e else I'd getzipsigner 2 to make sure its right..

EXAMPLE FOR AMEND SCRIPTS (update-script)
from my experience (for X10 users only):
Edify scripts (updater-script) support copying to /tmp but Amend scripts (update-script) doesnt allow such a location... it only allows for SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE
the Edify scripts (updater-script) doesnt always work properly on our current recovery... better stick to Amend scripts (update-script)...
any programs that u want to run (which doesnt require additional files) place it at the root of ur packege
any programs that u want to run (which require additional files) place it at the /data/local/tmp folder of ur packege

using Daneshm90 tool here is what I did but didnt work...
first copied the directories to the placehere folder:like this=>> placehere/system/app/astro.apk
then chose the forst option: creat update-script
then 1. copy directories
what partition to place files in?: system
what folder within that partition?: app
what folder from this update.zip within placehere folder?: app
then I chose 6. set permissiions for file
what partition is the file located in?: system
what file within that partition?: app/astro.apk
UID ?: (I had no Idea what this is so I entered chmod number 644)
GID ?: (again have no idea so just pressed enter and skiped)
MODE ?: (same as above)
then 8.done
and 2.create update.zip
and obviously didnt work
could you please help me?

If you are just copying a file then do this. Create a folder "app" and place the apk inside it.
And use only this line in update-script to copy it to /system/app
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app
I know it is not "ideal" but works for me and saves me some time. ( i am one of the most laziest persons you will ever meet)
Hi thanks for the reply
I just did it and its a no go for me

actually i just use the update.zip creator to "pack" & sign the files...
once u have the files in place... just go to...
placehere\META-INF\com\google\android
and edit the update-script
if u have app in:
placehere\system\app\astro.apk
u just need
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
once u finish editing the file
just run Script.bat
enter: n (do not clean previous files)
enter: 2 (create update.zip)
thats it!
a new file update.zip will be created in root folder of the program
@realunited no I don't do it manually
@Doom well dont know why but still not working....same error in recovery...cant mount system line1
Dont I need to set permissions cuz its in system?

Hi to all.
I have a small problem, and after struggling with it and searching on internet and xda, I haven't found a solution.
I have my Contacts.apk, which, using apktool I decompiled and edited some .xml. I have compiled again with apktool, and having my Contacts2.apk, without META-INF directory.
I tryed signing my apk with signapk.jar:
java -jar /home/aitor/Descargas/signapk.jar /home/aitor/Descargas/certificate.pem /home/aitor/Descargas/key.pk8 Contacts2.apk Contacts.apk
and when I try to install my signed Contacts.apk i get the following error:
[email protected]:~/Descargas/updateContacts/system/app$ adb install -r Contacts.apk
2717 KB/s (604449 bytes in 0.217s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Contacts.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
Searching, I think it's some problem of shared uuid, and the solutions I have found is that I have to resign every apk that shares the same uuid.
Other solutions I have found say that copying the META-INF folder of the original apk to the compiled .apk might solve the problem (that means, copying the original certs). I have tryied also this, but with no result:
[email protected]:~/Descargas/updateContacts/system/app$ adb install -r Contacts.apk
2724 KB/s (584945 bytes in 0.209s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Contacts.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Again, with no success.
So, my question is, is there a way of signing Contacts.apk without having to sign every apk with the same uuid? If not, how can I find every apk (in order to resign them) with the same uuid?.
Thanks for the help!
PS: I'm not sure if this should go into Android development and Hacking subforum. If so, to any mod, please, move it.
thanks in advance!

Contacts.apk is one of the system apps that is signed with the shared key. As far as I know, that does mean you will have to resign all of the apps which are also signed with that same shared key. To find out which ones are, first make a new directory to work in on your computer, open a terminal, and cd to the directory you just created. Now, with you phone attached:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ .
for i in *; do echo $i; unzip -q $i -d tmp; keytool -printcert -v -file tmp/META-INF/CERT.RSA | grep SerialNumber; echo; rm -r tmp; done
Now examine the output for any system apps that share the same serial number as what it lists for Contacts.apk. Those will be the apps that are signed with the shared key. Now, delete the non-shared key apk files from your current folder leaving just the ones you need to resign. Also add your modified Contacts.apk that is unsigned to this folder. Then you should be able to sign them all at once, push them back to your phone, assign the correct permissions, and wipe the app caches in recovery:
Code:
mkdir signed
for i in *; do java -jar /home/aitor/Descargas/signapk.jar /home/aitor/Descargas/certificate.pem /home/aitor/Descargas/key.pk8 $i signed/$i; done
cd signed
adb remount
adb push . /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*
adb reboot recovery
##in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache then reboot##
For future reference, system apps should always be pushed to the phone and not not installed as it will try to install it to /data/app which you don't want. Hope that helps but post back if something isn't clear or something gives you errors.

Something I hadn't thought of that you might want to try before taking the more extreme approach I described above...
Use 7zip to open both the original and modified Contacts.apk. Take the META-INF folder from the original(along with AndroidManifest.xml if it wasn't modified) and copy/place in the modified version. It will now contain the original signature and might work now.
Code:
adb remount
adb push built/Contacts_modified.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb reboot recovery
##in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache then reboot##
Make sure you have a backup copy of the original Contacts.apk somewhere in case you need to restore it.
And? Did this method work? I am asking, because when I try to re-install the HtcFacebook.apk (which is also a system app) I get the same error:
INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
But before I start messing with my /system/app folder I would like to know, if it worked in your case. Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem with another Android core app (Stk.apk). I tried the hack suggested by MongooseHelix - replacing META-INF and the manifest - and it worked

Yes. This method works if AndroidManifest.xml has not been modified.
If AndroidManifest.xml was modified, the signing process becomes complicated. Can I resign the whole ROM using the signapk? This menas: do not use Samsung signature anymore.

Another trick that usually works is changing the install location in the manifest. Then resign it.
Hello ;
I did the procedures of the Thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18552527
And flash it's working, but I have a small Problem after disconnet/reboot the
Phone I lose the files of the folder lib an dit's necessary do always the following
steps:
step 2: copy lib file to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
step 3: change the permission of all .so file like screenshot
JG
First download autostart app from market it free.then create a file name it autostart.sh and put these command under the file.
" cp /sdcard/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libstagefright_froyo.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libstagefright_honeycomb.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libysshared.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libstagefright_froyo.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libstagefright_honeycomb.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libysshared.so
"
Then create a folder lib in your sd card and copy all lib file to that lib folder then create a folder in/data and name it opt and place autostart.sh file to that opt folder and set permission to file 777.now when your phone se restart your lib file is automatically copy to appropriate folder.

Don't linked flashplayer to link2sd because after restarting link2sd run before the autostart so link2sd not able to link the file and btw if you manually link flashplayer then flashplayer not work in opera mobile so don't link flashplayer and keep it in internel memory.

" cp /sdcard/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libstagefright_froyo.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libstagefright_honeycomb.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /sdcard/lib/libysshared.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libstagefright_froyo.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libstagefright_honeycomb.so
chmod 644 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libysshared.so
"
Then create a folder lib in your sd card and copy all lib file to that lib folder then create a folder in/data and name it opt and place autostart.sh file to that opt folder and set permission to file 777.now when your phone se restart your lib file is automatically copy to appropriate folder.

1.installed "script manager"
2.copied the script above without "" marks into a file called autostart.sh
3.created folder "lib" in sdcard directly
4.copied 4 lib files to lib folder in sdcard and doublechecked the names with the names in the script (i use notepad to view the script)
5.created folder "Opt" in phone/data/
6.pasted the script file there. assuming 777 means rwx-rwx-rwx i did that for the sh file.
7.Ran SM, browsed as root to the directory /date/opt, chose the sh file, clicked "open as script/executable"
8.In SM Chose options run at boot, run as root and "executable" option
9.clicked run

Hi.
I had also faced the same issue....
The thing that u have to do is to install busy box... then everything works fine for you...
Actually this error occurs because your system could not support these unix commands (chmod, cp,etc.).. and these commands only works when you install busy box in your phone.. so can also say that busybox installs common unix utilities to the android...
Press THANKS if I help you..!!

I have busybox installed,
ROM: DynamiteRomJB Themed ( already rooted)
Busybox : BusyBox v1.20.1-cm9 bionic
cp not working from script
but it works as individual command (without scrpit)
I am adding some mod files and tweaks to an android 2.3.3 image. It is a Livesuit flashable image for the Alpha 2 Skypad. I use unimg.exe to extract the files then fileaddsum and unimg to repack the file under Windows.
I mount the extracted image in Linux Mint then make my changes. I have tried different tricks people have suggested to set the permissions of the file, but whenever I umount and repack the img, it will install, but I have to go into adb and chmod the files. I have written a simple command file so it only take a second, but being new to Linux I am not finding any way to set the permission when I copy over the files to the mounted image.
Any suggestions/ Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will help, but in unix permissions are set with chmod. so to ad the exicutable permission you enter:
Code:
su
chmod a+x filename
exit
However if youve had suggestions on setting permissions, you must already know this?

That wasn't working for me. But I found a cheat, I guess you could say. Once the image was open I would pull the files from the emulator or a pad directly to the image+folder. Not elegant but it worked.
hi guys, easy question for you hope you can help
I have a flashable zip that deletes some files from /system, and to do that in updater-script I have for example:
Code:
delete_recursive(
"/system/app/BasicDreams"
);
....now, instead of deleting them I would like to move them somewhere else in /system, for example a backup directory ( /system/__Backup ), but don't know what would I need to add in updater-script file to actually:
1. create the "__Backup" folder in /system
2. move "BasicDreams" folder to that directory
I know the unix commands I should run for that ( `mkdir /system/__Backup` and then `mv -rf /system/app/BasicDreams /system/__Backup` ) but don't know what is the correct syntax for these commands to be correctly executed in updater-script
can someone please help me? :fingers-crossed:
thanks in advance bye!
EDIT: seems I found out another way with runprogram busybox etcetc
