Pack a custom rom

Hi, I want to create my own custom rom, I've finish them, but I've a problem.
I don't know how to pack all the files in a flashable zip, I've make a zip with 7-zip but when I try to install it, recovery say "Installation Aborted".
Someone can explain to me how to create the zip? I've an good experience on android but I haven't already create a flashable zip...
Thanks!
Would not have a clue my friend but by reading the following threads your best bet is to go to the following links

Have a look at those links and those are the best options you have to create your own rom. Enjoy
It is possible to make a simple tutorial for me, I'm french and that's too hard to understand for me. I just need to pack in a zip file flashable. Thanks you .
Wouldn't there need to be a script to tell CW what to do with the files in the package/how to install them, etc ?
I wouldn't have a clue how to do this BTW, I'm just thinking logically around what I know about the way CW works so far as installing roms/kernels goes.

Thanks, but we can't pack a rom with cwm if that's what you want to say.

still check those links i gave you above. there must be a solution or guide to tell you how to pack a rom once you are finished putting everything together.my guess is that you do need an updater script and updater binary script something like that..check on those two links and have a look..or zip the rom using powerarchiver if you are on windows
just head over to http://perka.zapto.org and look for a empty system cwm.
Now you just have to make folders in this zip and add your files. example you want framework-res.apk and systemui.apk flashed.
So open the cwm zip and add a folders called app and a folder called framework.
The zip will be/system and so with the folders it creates /system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/app/SystemUI.apk.
You can just take the signatures from the zip and add them in your future zips or just keep copying this one.
The update script shows the screens on install so change text in there and it will show on install.
Or there is a guide to Edify Scripting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265120

A Quastion About crate a custom Zip file for Flash on cmw

hello guys. i want crate a .zip file for flash custom file like font but when i want flash it cmw says: aborted. what i do?
You've changed the zip-file? Or not?
Maybe try to redownload the file and try again.
Which rom and kernel are you on now? And which one do you try to flash?
You'll need a updater script and updater binary for your OS version.. Try to get any from one of the many forums
The META-INF Folder already has those files, so in ur case just add ur files into that zip and remove the ones from the existing mods..

[Q] Problem with using android kitchen. Help needed.

I had been trying to make a custom ROM or porting a ROM for Micromax Canvas A 96. It has only one custom ROM found in 'needrom' site. As the stock ROM is in a format suitable for SP Flashtool , I wanted to make a CWM flashable ROM in zip format, so that porting will be easier. For this purpose I need 'METAINF' Folder with updater script. So, after searching I came across a guide on 'Converting boot.img +system.img' to CWM flashable zip ROM. I followed it and used android kitchen and got a ROM in zip in the output folder which I re-named (during working on 'cygwin' window). Now I checked it by extracting with 'Express zip' windows software, and it says " The zip is corrupted or encrypted or empty or in an incompatible format'. Now, I do not know how to go about it. Please help me.

Elephone P6i Modified Stock ROM (4.4.2) (Rooted)

I see a lot of people are looking for a decent ROM for the Elephone P6i. This is the firmware that came with my device, plus a few slight modifications. The recovery included is the PhilZ touch Recovery CWM 6.0.5.1, and the SU binary is already installed, as well as busybox and SuperSU as a system app. I also installed fully customizable audio modifications, including XTREMEMusic, assembled by @androidexpert35 at xda, and Sony Atmos, which are both available for download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951
I am also posting links to both the CWM-flashable zip and the CWM backup. You pretty much have to have a custom recovery already installed to flash this zip, unless you want to go through the trouble of extracting it, then converting it to SP Flash Tool files. I might upload the files for direct flashing myself depending on the amount of requests.
Update: SP Flash Tool files have been uploaded.

Also, for those who are unaware, after a complete format and flash, you may need to change your IMEI numbers back to their original values. If you require assistance in doing this, let me know.
Let me know how it works for you!

Help zipping a custom rom please

I have followed every step of this turtorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746044
Not sure what is going on. When I try to flash i get this message: Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found (next line in red) Failed to map file '/externel_sd/Root Stuff/TestRom.zip (next line in red) Error installing zip file '/externel_sd/Root Stuff/TestRom.zip
Just out of curiosity I unzipped a known working ROM and rezipped it with winrar and get the same error with a known working rom. So it is something in the zipping process that is making it no work, I just dont know what. Any help is appreciated.
Note I have also tried Z-zip to zip my rom and get the same for my custom rom and also a known working rom that I extract and repack.
