Hello,
I'm not a developer at all, I would like to create a flashable zip to easily install my applications. I tried this method but it doesn't work: https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-android-apps-recovery-zip/
I'm on Android 9, isn't the method right? Or am I mistaken in the tutorial? Thank you
PS : I flash my zip in TWRP
Titanium backup have this option

Hello, guys!
Sorry for the question, but how can I install xRecovery 2.5 or 2.6, after I've already updated to CM6-1.0.2 with CWM 3? I've read a lot of topics, that say there is need to install an earlier version of xRecovery in order to be able to install .zip applications like themes for example.
I've tried to do it with ROM Manager, it says then I've xRecovery 1.7, 2.4 or another one, and when I choose to reboot in Recovery, Clockworkmod recovery 3 appears again, instead of the version that ROM Manager has reported.
Could you please explain me how to install recovery.img manually step by step or another way to install xRecovery over CWM 3? I've tried also to install it manually by copying chargemon and busybox files in bin folder, but after that the phone can not load the system - a lot of errors appear on boot.
I'll be very thankful to you for your help!
Thanks for the "answers", guys! Over 12 hours of fishsilence, thank you very much! You all are so "helpful" here as like we all are developers and should understand from a few words in your developers' slang!
The answer of my question is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079112
Yes, right here, guys! The xRecovery for the X10 Mini Pro works on the X10 Mini! No need for complex hboots, rom managers or so - simple .apk installation and the CWM 3 turned into 1x xRecovery!
Seems that you don't know that there is a search button into the forum.
One previous page there is a post named CWM2XREC (CW Recovery to Xrecovery)
Simply a update.zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111075
You may use the search button or atleast look two or three pages of the local forum.
Anyway the CW supports Xrecovery backup files.
Nope, I know about it, but the problem was I was unable to istall .zip files under CWM 3 for the lack of Edify script in it.

yes you can't flash old .zip with amend script but this one allows you to flash old xrecovery above cwm (i tried myself.)
then you'll be able to flash old .zip but no more the recent with edify scripting

xrecovery backups need to be placed in cwm folder to be used
hi im new to android phones
last week i got galaxy s2
now i found some great apps byt when i downloaded them i didnt found .apk app
instead i found few folders and files and i dont know how to instal them
should i root my galaxy?
Form where did you download them.. try using market app or download from apktop.com or android-market.co .. Also do you have System/app/ and META-INF folders in a zip file. If so you will have to install it in recovery by using install zip from sdcard option..

what app are you referring to?
if its a flash zip you need a custom recovery such as CWM or Amon Ra
there is no specific app ( i downloaded many app that was non an .apk)
yes its a flash zip
cmw comes after rooting?
thanks for your patience but im new to the world of android
So, flash cwm recovery and try to install from there.. if you flash cwm recovery you can even backup and restore your rom...
you need to root first before you can install a custom recovery.
usually system apps get install via flash zip. you sure the apk is not zipped up? sometimes you need to in zip to get the apk.
thank you all for your replies
the apps im talking about like app monster or other app that need a root
is there a safe way to root the galaxy s2 without changing the rom or the kernel
ie. i just want to be able to flash zip files ( cracked app)
and stay on my rom and kernel
and will i be able to receive apdates for the kies???
TO root s2 please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Sometime there will be .apk file directly inside zip file (this is done to reduce size of app) you should not try to install them from recovery only install zip file from recovery having sytem and Meta-inf folder inside the zip file.
Yes you will be able to receive updates via kies unless you don't flash a custom kernel...
thank you all
Hi! I just got my first Android Phone.
The HTC Inspire.
I've been told I could speed up this phone but I'm also curious to know what else I could do with it?
I used to have an iPhone and I would just change the theme and stuff...
So, I suppose my question(s) is/are;
1. How can I speed up my phone?
2. What can I do with my phone?
3. Is there a site where I can browse custom themes for my phone?
4. how do I add custom ringtones/ringback
thanks for taking the time for reading this.

To speed up your phone try v6 supercharger. Search xda forum and you will get there ..
You can do a lot of things with your phone like rooting it to make changes to system as well a ls access hidden system files and also to install app like app monster, titanium backup that are very handy ..
Not only this you can even flash/install custom Rom/kernel that are much better and optimized than stock one provided by HTC..
For more details Google root your phone model and custom kernels for your phone model ..
To get themes and more info foe your phone try to find your phone sub forum in xda forum or just Google .. to set custom ringtones you can select set as ringtone on your music player it copy ogg file to /system/media/audio (for which you need to root and use root explorer or similar app) and then go to settings.and choose your copies file..

What is App Monster? "flash/install custom Rom/kernel" ??
I'll try and find my phone in the sub-fourms
App Monster is an application that lets you manage your installed applications. For example you can backup apps and batch restore them.
Hey !
I want to Make a flashable Zip that Run Another Zip
Like to make it format The partitions then run the ROM's Zip and install it and then run The GApps Zip and Install it then install My Apps and Run Xposed Zip to install it
is that Possible ?
- I've some Experience with making Flashable Zips ( Made A Zips to install My Apps , Format Partition , and Re-partition )
Up ..
Up .....
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.
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!
