How to create "update.zip" for integrate apps?

Hello!
I'd like to create update.zip to integrate app wich can be flashed to any or almost any rom. I'd like to put some essential app in it. Anybody can tell me how can i do this, or is there any guide for this?
Download and install the latest android sdk .also Java jdk find and download autosign. Do this all by searching. I would download a custom rom as a template for your update.zip. extract the data folder and the Meta folder and put into a new folder, go into Meta folder keep clicking through the folders inside Meta one till you find update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the part saying something like copy package DIRATA and the show progress before it. Once that's all done put the Apps you want into the data folder zip up the data and Meta folders, when you open the zip folder you should only see those 2 no others! Resign it using autosign and flash

+1. Niiice,... A few questions though if you dont mind.
1,... Can I use this command that I use to sign my bootscreens to sign the update.zip ... "java -jar C:\SignApk\SignApk.jar C:\SignApk\testkey.x509.pem C:\SignApk\testkey.pk8 C:\SignApk\bootscreen.zip C:\SignApk\bootscreen_signed.zip" ... and just change the file name as needed? ... Or do the .pem and .pk8 files need to be changed to something else?
2,... If Im using a base custom ROM with Apps2SD, all apps will be installed to the SD right?... Or do they install to the internal memory if you add the apps to the ROM itself?
3,... Is it also possible to add the app and game data (i.e.. game saves) to the ROM or is it best to use a backup programme?
Hope someone can help?
Thanks!
I tought it will harder, but it worked flawlessly
I'd be interested in this too:

It all goes to the Data partition so... If your ROM is using apps2sd and its turned on (for instance im using androbin and i have done the command "apps2sd on" in terminal) the apps you install from then on will go to your sdcard partition.Quite a handy thing on this androbin rom is in sd card and storage it tells me my secondary partition!

1.Yes you can use that command
2.answered above.
3.I would use a backup program personally
Thanks BONESY, much appreciated.

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file
Hey everyone,
I am seeking some help for some way to get the 2 files of .apk and .odex to get back to their original state of only one install-able package .apk file..
I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package."
Any other ideas how I can extract a single application from Stock or Customized ROM?
I need this help for building a rom that supports multi languages that comes with Market installed within it and having root access.
Any help would be much appreciated!

It's the only way. You have to deodex the file. The error message "There is a problem prasing the package" is not a deodex message to the best of my recollection.

Sorry I didnt get what you mean completely.
What I have tried: I used kitchen to deodex the files, copied the .apk file to my phone, tried to install it. this error message shows up!
by the way, its the same message that shows if you copy the .apk file without the .obex file to the phone and try to install it..
Any help would be appreciated!
hmmm
I would like to bring back universal inbox (from froyo to CM7 nightly, Droid X) and a few other items
no go?

Where does android store contact photos ?

Hi guys ... Well I want to export all the contact photos Android is currently storing for all my 'Phone' contacts ..
Does anyone know where Android stores all contact photos/images ?
I'm currently running a Sense 3.6 ROM (Virtuous Affinity) on my Desire Z ..
Well I could not find them anywhere on the SD card, but I did find another solution to this, which can work until something better comes along:
1) Download and install Titanium Backup
2) Open Titanium Backup, and create a backup of the Contacts app
3) Open the SD card on your PC, and then open the 'TitaniumBackup' folder
4) Find your backup here .. if its date sorted, find the backup that was created most recently maybe ..
5) Open the TAR file in WinRAR, and then open the 'files' folder inside the TAR file
6) All associated contact images should be here now ..
Please 'Thank' this post if this helped you out

Its quite simple. Download a superuser.zip file that is for your device. Extract it. You will find two folders, System and Meta-Inf. Open System folder and you will find a folder called app inside it. Open it and delete the superuser.apk file and copy your modded system file into it.
For eg., Let the file be Gallery2.apk .
Now open META-INF folder -> com -> google -> android. You will find a file called updater-Script. You have to edit that file. There will be a line, where the system mount command is given. Do not do anything until that line. Delete the lines below it and enter these lines.
delete("/system/app/Gallery2.apk");
# [here Gallery2 is the name of the apk file you copied]
package_extract_dir("system","/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
Now rezip the folders together and you have your own flashable zip to install modded system files.
Hit thanks if this helped! :laugh:
PM me if you require further help.

is there apk or steps to get DATA/OBB files from ANY APK ??

hi,
i have just apk download from google play store,
its simply install and works , my device is non-routed , for learning purpose i need DATA folder or / OBB file
after installation i went to sd card > android > data , i found apk name folder ... com.xxxxx.xxx
inside the folder just one more folder cache , that folder is empty
what i am missing here ? is there any other way to get DATA folder ??
help appreciated , thank in advance
thanks
Obb is not included in the apk inside.
NO , its not , that why how can i get it ?
is it mandatory that every apk automatically generate /create OBB file and/OR data folder after installation ?
even if could get DATA folder ..my purpose will be served !!
is there anyway ?
thanks
Not necessarily, not all apks create obb files, and data would be created when you open the app itself
And maybe not, some apps create the data folder and leave it empty and only store data in system\data
Thanks,
so it means if APK doesn't create means there is no way to get it !!
in that case , is there anyway to make GPK from APK ?
