Could I create a .zip file including apps so I could flash it after I flash a rom just like we do with Gapps packages?
take an existing zip file and remove the apps you dont want in it and add the apps that you want to the zip file and save it. then you can flash this new zip file. Otherwise you would have to create a new zip file from scratch.
Its not hard to do actually. Just go on irc and someone will help you. Im just lazy and steal other peoples scripts but I actually know what the commands do.

Awesome. Thank you both very much! I really appreciate that.
Edit: I just thought of another idea with this. Couldn't I use astro and copy and paste the apps I want into the roms I flash so they're always there? Or is that different and I should I go to irc and ask how?
Hello Guys...
I would to know, is it possible to create a CWM flashable zip package with my usualy apps? ..something according to the cyanogenmod gapps.zip
It doesn't matter if they becomes to system apps. I am just bored to downlaod all the apps every time I flash a rom
Can anyone help me or explain it to me? ...or even better, can someone create a template so i can just copy my apk files into it?
thanks a lot...
PS. I know, there are apps those can do it for me but for me it would be simplier.
i need the same thing

Okey, I got it.
Do open (not extract) the attached zip file with zip7 and copy your apk's into
...apppackage.zip\system\app
Thats all.
Now you can flash your usualy apps as system apps.
Maybe someone knows how to do it as regulary apps?
I keep flashing the roms a lot and have to install a couple of apps again and again,
which has been very annoying.
Is there a method to make a CWM flashable zip such as "gapps package"
Lets say these are the apps i want to turn into a single flashable zip
whatsapp,
Google Translate,
AirDroid,
Scan
I looked at threads but they were mostly for other phones, cant find anything specific for SGS 3 I9300
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
Can I use the above method and where should i place the apks in the system folder?
Hi mate,
Just give the apks ,I will make a flashable package for you.
Have a look at how others have made them, it's not that hard to work out.
But who has made it? How was it made?
could you point me to so called "others"
@mk256
I appreciate your help, but
would you let me know how its done because i have a long list of apps?

Virtually any flashable zip will do, all you need to do is edit the updater-script and put all the apps in the right place. Then sign the zip and flash it.
I think you are looking for something like this:

This is the support thread for JT Inverted Productions JB 4.2 Gapps+ mod. If you have questions, ask them here. Do not ask for help in the other thread.
Main thread for downloads:
[APPS]JT Inverted Productions JB 4.2 Gapps+ Aroma & Quickflash
How to flash:
1. Backup your current ROM, if needed
2. Perform a full wipe - format /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvik-cache
3. Flash your ROM
4. Flash the gapps package you want
5. Reboot
6. If you need to restore any data, DO NOT restore data to any inverted apps
How to post a question:
1. Did you perform a full wipe before having this problem?
- Yes. There is no other correct answer to this question. If you answered no, correct that first by backing up your device, then doing a full wipe. This means that you should wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvick-cache before you even think about continuing with your report. Do not restore data. If you don't fully wipe, you will not receive help. Doing a full wipe allows you to check to see if the problem is there without any of your modifications.
2. Which file are you having trouble with?
- Please make sure to type or copy/paste out the entire file name.
3. Which device are you using?
- HTC One X/Samsung Galaxy S3/Motorola RAZR
4. Which ROM are you using, and which UI type is it?
- Post a link to the ROM you're using and also mention the type of UI (AOSP/CM10/AOKP). List your kernel as well, if you don't use the ROM's built in kernel.
5. Which recovery version are you using?
- CWM/TWRP/4EXT
6. State your problem with as much detail as possible.
- We aren't standing over your shoulder watching you mess up your phone. Describe in great and excruciating detail what you did to arrive at your problem.
1. I'm going to post my question without doing a search.
Fine, but you'll just get made fun of, or infracted by one of the mods who use this mod. Searching is the first rule of XDA.http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Do I really have to do a full wipe?
No one is going to stand over your shoulder and make sure you do, but don't expect help if you don't.
3. Why doesn't the zip file flash properly/Why is the zip file password protected?
Too many people don't bother reading the directions, so the zips are now password protected. The password is located in the OP (post #1) of the main thread. You have to read to find it. It only changes on occasion, so keep using the same password until it stops working, then look for the new one. Make sure to read for the changes when you grab the new password. The flashable zip is always hidden inside the password protected zip.
For more information on the password system, please read this helpful post by KidCarter93.
4. My recovery freezes, gives me some other weird error, or the gapps package just didn't flash properly and force closes a lot.
You probably don't have enough /system space. You need around 160MB of free /system space for the full package.
5. Gmail (or some other app) is not inverted after flashing this.
You forgot about FAQ #3. Always do a full wipe. Make sure you don't have duplicate apps in /data/app/ and /system/app/. All AOSP-based ROMs should NOT include Google Apps. Some of them might, so you may need to do some manual house cleaning to get this to work. If your chef includes Google Apps in a CM, AOKP, or AOSP ROM, remind them that Google does not allow this.
6. People app is not inverted/Phone.apk is missing.
Either restore your backup, or reflash aroma and deselect the people app from the menu. Do not use the inverted people app, as this tells us that it is not working on your device. There is no fix, so don't ask.
7. MMS.apk is not inverted.
Theme it yourself. Open MMS app, then go to Settings > theme and set it however you like. The included themes from TUN_D will automatically invert them, however.
8. When using Quick Reply pop up, the message displayed is not always the actual message that I just got. Sometimes it is an older message.
That's an issue with the MMS.apk provided by the CM team. It happens when you do not reply to a message from within the quickreply pop up, but instead bypass it to reply within the app. To get around that, you can disable the pop up, but leave the quickreply option and simply tap the "Quick Reply option from the notification bar. This will trigger the pop up and allow you to reply each time to the correct message.
9. I have problems with ghost inputs, or the touch screen is buggy, in aroma.
Follow the instructions in this post by Wechy77.
10. I don't want this boot animation anymore, or it was installed by mistake.
Delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip if it's there, or, if it's not there, extract your original boot animation from your ROM's zip file at /system/media/bootanimation.zip and move it to the same location in your ROM.
11. Instagram has a problem connecting to Facebook.
Before flashing the inverted Instagram, download the latest Instagram from the market, and log in to give it permission to access your Facebook profile. After that, flash the inverted Instagram, and it will work like normal. An updated version of Instagram is being worked on.
12. I read this whole FAQ and my issue isn't addressed.
Make a post with the following information, and state your problem clearly and in excruciating detail.
1. Did you perform a full wipe before having this problem?
- Yes. There is no other correct answer to this question. If you answered no, correct that first by backing up your device, then doing a full wipe. This means that you should wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvick-cachebefore you even think about continuing with your report. If you don't fully wipe, you will not receive help.

As far as I know, gallery and some other 4.2 stuff was removed due to errors. Also, CM file manager was changed. If 4.0 is working without any problems for you, then don't worry about updating to 4.0b. If you have issues, then update.
Aroma 4.0/Gapps 4.2a/b/c working with CM10 4.1.2 (i9000) , or not?
The new (4.2) cam/gallery and keyboard are working fine ... (other sources)
second the password was a goal on the wrong side my opinion, because the spamming goes on ...
thx for advanced

If someone has trouble with ghost inputs, and doesn't know, what to do, here is my little guidance:
There is a little work with it before you can make it work with touchscreen:
1. download "JusTunBean Aroma 4.x..."
2. download "update-binary" from here
3. copy "aroma-config" from JusTunBean.zip (It is in META-INF/com/google/android folder) Edit with notepad++ add calibrate("0.9718","4","1.0176","-9"); to first line. (This calibrate values are for Xperia ray)
If you use another phone and has trouble with ghost inputs then serach a rom in your phone thread with aroma install and find calibrate values.
It should look like this:
Code:
calibrate("0.9718","4","1.0176","-9");
### LICENSE:
#
(if you are on other phone, search for your calibrate numbers)
4. copy modded "aroma-config" and downloaded "update-binary" into the zip (META-INF/com/google/android folder) and overwrite old ones.
5. copy zip to sd card and go into cwm.
6. choose install zip from sd card, and it works with touchscreen.
Thats it.
p.s.: You must do it with every new release of course.

Could someone help me out. I've read the op a hundred times. I'm pretty sure i have the password. I've downloaded Zarchiver but now I'm lost. the directions that are given are once you find the password DL Zarchiver and type the password in that application. I can't DL the aroma zip to my phone in order to use Zarchiver to unzip it. All I get is a bunch of crazy text and the DL kicks me back to the xda post.If you could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it. This is by far the best invert mod out there. Thanks

You can download in pc, and extract using password with 7zip or winzip or winrar. The Zarchiver is for that users mentioned, who wants download direct to phone. (I don't use Zarchiver, so i don't know, how it works)

Try to use Chrome -- it works.
This is a question about the theming:
I suppose this is to TUN, I don't use any of the custom themes, and I am on a Note using CM10:
when I am in Instagram, the words for "more comments" I assume is black on the black theme. I mean that when a person has more than 5-6 comments and you want to click it to see more.
Then the other thing I saw is in Facebook, when writing a message, I couldn't see what words were being typed, was just black on black.
Does anyone else see this?
Hi
I've started around three other threads here on XDA but I never seem*to get anyone answering my questions for something that should be so simple.
Anyway I've been trying to flash a ZIP folder containing third party APK files via TWRP to go alongside my fresh install of Lineage OS. All of the user apps install perfectly fine to the '/data/app' directory, however, system apps that are installing to the '/system/app' directory are only getting half installed. Basically when I boot into the ROM I can see all of the system apps in the app launcher, and even navigating through the phone with a root explorer I can see that I can see the correctly copied folder and file from inside the ZIP folder. For example the Google Snapseed app is stored as the following:-
/system/app/com.niksoftware.snapseed
>niksoftware.snapseed.apk
What's weird is that if I open the apk file and install it with the Package Installer*successfully*installs it but with a '1' suffixed to the end and two folders and a re-named apk file
/data/app/com.niksoftware.snapseed-1
> lib
> oat
> base.apk
For a little test I moved the 'niksoftware.snapseed-1' folder from '/data/app' to '/system/app', deleted the original 'niksoftware.snapseed'*folder and rebooted my phone. As expected the app continued to work perfectly fine with no force crashes.
If you're wondering why I'm installing the apps under a system app, it's because the user(s) I'll be passing the phone onto will be non-technical Android users. When the user needs to do a factory reset, the apps I pre-installed will survive if they're installed as system apps compared user apps that will get wiped.
There is literally nothing on any forums anywhere explaining how to flash system apps via recovery taking the more recent Android the OS' that have been released in the last few years. Could someone please help me out here?
Many thanks

Personally I never tried to install third party apps like that , but it could be interesting to test this out .
But I think you've made a mistake while trying to create the system folder :
You created this :
/system/app/com/niksoftware.snapseed
But the /com is not needed , I mean it maybe the reason of you issue .
So try to remove the /com :
/system/app/niksoftware.snapseed
Let me know if it worked

Hi
Thank you for your reply. I've only just realised there is a typo in the directory. The 'com/' should be 'com.' However, I will give removing 'com' altogether to see if that makes any difference.

I renamed all of the folders inside the zip folder so there is no '.' (dots) in the folder and file names and unfortunately the apps still crash. It's a shame there is no command that extracts the .APK files into their correct directories. I'd love to know how the OpenGApps package works because that basically does the same thing as my ZIP folder.

GApps does the same thing .
Basically it's a zip file with a script that copy all the file and the directories to the root directory of your phone.
I think the problem is the signature used bybthe third party apps. But that's just an hypothesis , I could be wrong I'll let you search more deep on that subject with Google , hope this helped a bit

I've found a couple of APK/ZIP folder signing utilities but unfortunately they've made no difference.
The part that's going wrong somewhere is the folders that should be created alongside the APK files are not being created.

I made some videos explaining the situation.
The first video shows the app crashing on launch. The APK file is installed at
Code:
/system/app/Snapseed
I then proceed to install it which is successful and installs itself as a user app found at
Code:
/data/app/com.niksoftware.snapseed-1
Next I rename it and move it to system directory and delete the original directory so there isn't a clash of identical apps. Finally I reboot the phone.
https://youtu.be/mL6ePOMnDQw
The second video I show that it opens up perfectly fine. To show that the two folders inside the
Code:
/system/app/com.niksoftware.snapseed
directory are important, I move them to the internal storage Downloads folder and then relaunch the app. It now crashes. I restore the folders and then app once again works again.

Hi , the videos you made made me understand better your issue , but I've a question , when you moved the oat and lib folders to the system , you opened the Snapseed app successfully without any bugs isn't it ?
And because the installation folders are in the system , the factory reset won't affect them .
So is your problem solved ?

Yes you could say I have solved the problem but it's not the solution I'm looking for. I want to be able to install the apps in bulk during the flashing stage using a custom recovery like TWRP I'm using. The order I would flash would be:-
1) Flash Lineage OS
2) Flash OpenGApps
3) Flash additional apps (essentially third party apps from the Google Play Store)

Ok , now flashable zips are field so I can help you
If you want me to do it for you , just upload those files to Google drive and send me the link , I'll make your flashable zip and upload it to Dropbox so you can download it :good:.
The files you should upload :
• Libs folder of every third party apps you want to install
• Oat Folder of every third party apps you want to install
• Base.apk file of every third party apps you want to install
If you want to do it yourself , I'll make you a guide on how to do it ( you require a PC to do it with RAR and Notepad++ or another text editor installed on it )

I'd rather do it myself please if that's okay with you creating a guide, as I would like to learn how to do it for future reference? I use Notepad++ quite frequently and I use 7-zip to archive everything so I'm all setup there.
This is going to sound stupid but where do I get the Libs and Oat folders from except for copying them from Android? I am aware you can open the APK files themselves but I've never seen the Oat folders inside.
Many thanks again for your help so far.

So , let's start with what you need :
- The folder /data/app/com.niksoftware.snapseed-1 and its content on your desktop
Now what you should do :
1) Extract the 2 folders in the template I made you
2) Open the system folder and create a folder called "app" into it
3) Copy the com.niksoftware.snapseed-1 folder (with the content inside it) and paste it into the app folder newly created
4) Repeate the step above for each and every app you want to install as system app
5) Exit the folders
6) Select the META-INF folder and the system folder and compress them with 7-Zip
7) You are ready to flash the zip to your phone !
My Advice is to do this in your Desktop in first place, because it's more easy to see what you're doing.
When you get used to this, you may do it everywhere (even on your phone).
Don't forget to disable signature verification in TWRP ( if there is the option , I don't remember well)
And make a backup of your phone before every modification , we never know what can happen (but in this case, it'll be okay since we're modifying nothing)

I meant I need the Content of this folder for each apps you want to install as system apps:
You will need this to make the flashable zip.
Copy and paste those files to your download folder ( Internal storage ) , then transfer those folders (and the APK file to your PC in order to use it .
I'm preparing the guide and I'll post it in around 10 min , don't forget to press the thank button on the posts

I'm just trying to find out if there a more time saving tool that will extract the the lib, oat and base.apk from the containing .apk file so I can do it in bulk on a PC.
The problem I have is that I have about 20+ APK's that will be flashed additionally on top of the Lineage OS ROM and OpenGApps. Thinking how long it took to do one installing it as a user app, renaming it, moving it to the system partition, I would have to do that for everyone. Even if I was to do this method the contents I extracted for one Android architecture (CPU chipset type) used on one device may be completely incompatible on another.

Unfortunately I don't know any tool able to do that.
And for the architecture , that's not really a problem
Because there are only 4 architecture :
x86 (rare)
x86_64 (very rare , mostly used on emulators)
arm (most common)
arm64 (common)
And the arm APKs work for arm64 devices , so you just have to do this for arm APKs and it'll be okay for almost every Android device . (Edit 1 : Not really sure of this info, should be good but I can't certify it 100%)
And I know myself that doing that takes time , but if you really want to do that , that's the only way I can suggest.
Do as you feel it , I hope my answers were clear and useful for you.
Let me know what's your decision,
Have a nice day

I'm going to go ahead with it. Like you said ARM will work for ARM64. Even if the apps become slightly outdated if I were to flash my ZIP onto future devices, as soon as the Play Store is installed it will hopefully update anyway.
