Just uploaded the 3.4.0 pro version to the PlayStore, it will be available in the next hours.
[Android Software Development] jbejaranogarcia:
The application still works exactly the same. Only works TRWP, no matter the route you get, the problem is you can not install anything from Philz Recovery (for example, cwm based), always the same message, can not find/open the path.

I tried putting /storage/emulated/0....emmc (which does not exist, at least in GT i9505) ..../storage/sdcard0......no get anything at all ...

This is a shame because it promises, but it stays there .... please fix the apk, gives the solution, because it will be a great apk.

I wish you luck and success :beer:

[Android Software Development] karanrajpal14:
Hey man, been using free version of the app for quite some time and I must say that I love it. Considering purchasing the pro version to support you. I only have one request, could you consider adding the features of this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.davison.autoflasher

It has some neat features which flash zips based on a name pattern. Really useful for a crack flasher who flashes almost everyday. It's the only feature that I've been missing. What say mate? Could you consider it? Thanks!
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Can you explain what does it exactly do?
[Android Software Development] karanrajpal14:
It allows us to flash files within a folder based on name patterns automatically. For example, super SU updates usually have the file name pattern as UPDATE-SuperSU-(version number).zip so if we set the pattern that begins with UPDATE-SuperSU- it automatically flashes the latest version of the zip file that is present within the folder. I hope you understand. If not, lemme know so that I can explain better. You should try the app out. You'll understand better.
[Android Software Development] vrwmiaris1:
Hey guys why i can't flash nothing? It says invalid zip/sh.what does this mean?
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Will think about it, although it would involve adding another button to the main window (to use rules instead of a file manager) and I don't like the idea

Some more info would be useful. Procedure you follow, files you add, etc, etc
[Android Software Development] vrwmiaris1:
yeah sorry ,i was trying to flash a kernel.on 3.3.3 is working fine.im selecting add files,select from my file manager which one and it flashes it .with v4 says only invalid zip/sh file
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Still no useful info.

If you say "a kernel", "3.3.3 is working", "my file manager", etc i have to guess what's happening and i haven't developed my mental powers that much :p

Please, tell me your device, rom, file manager, zip file... be specfic so maybe i can reproduce your problem
[Android Software Development] dud3me:
Hi,

I just bought the play version after the latest updates, hoping that the installation aborted problem I've experienced for a while now would be gone. Sadly it's still there.

I'm using I9100 with 4.3 rom and cwm 6.0.3.7. When i'm trying to to install a new rom update + gapps with cache wipes. It wipes the caches just fine, but then when it's trying to install I get E:unknown volume for path / / / and E:can't mount / / / (fine path). After that it just says installation aborted. When using something like ParanoidOTA to flash the same files, it does so without problems. I picked the files using ES file explorer.

It also says it created a log, but unfortunately I can't find it. Probably because I installed the rom manually after the incident, giving me a fresh recovery :D
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Lol, paranoidota is made by me and it shares the same core as zipinstaller.

Check the paths to the sd to see if it's the same as in paota

DD Feature Request

Dear beerbong,

I like your ZipInstaller Tool very much. - Thanks!

I was thinking about a DD functionality.

What do you think about it?

On my device (I547C) if you type:

root@android:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name # ls -l

you will get:

aboot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
backup -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
cache -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
efs -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
fota -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p19
fsg -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
grow -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p24
hidden -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
modem -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
pad -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
param -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
persist -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p16
recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
rpm -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
sbl1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
sbl2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
sbl3 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
ssd -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
tz -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
userdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

And that would be so nice, if you can scan this folders ( /dev/block) to create a list within zipinstaller and than just select

your images you like to write with DD. Yes it looks like a GUI for DD, sure, why not. On one way you can select IF, OF and BS and go for it.

On the other way you can make a selection from the scaned list.

What do you think? Is that possible and welcome to add the DD feature into your Zipinstaller tool?

Once root und busybox is integrated on my devic,I backup and flash mostly with DD.

Cheers

[Android Software Development] gentano:
Another bug report: Zipfile position option is not saved, it switches always back to last position immediately after leaving the menu.

Feature request: Can You add an option to skip the "Select actions and install" window when I disabled all options (Backup, Wipe System...). So I could directly start flashing after pressing the "Flash now" button without anymore windows and/or confirmations.

Thank You!
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Confirmed and solved.

Regarding the feature request, showing the popup is a security feature, i've personally clicked the install button more than once when i wanted to click the add button.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Version 4.0.1 is up.

Fixed the bug commented above.

Users who have purchased the app should see it in the Play Store in the next hours.
[Android Software Development] gentano:
You could add a warning msg if You REALLY want to disable the 2nd popup.

PS: there is still a visible bug regarding the the zipfile position. The menu entry only updates with the currently stored position after closing and restarting the program, this is the same problem like I mentioned in #414 with other menu entries.

PS2: Thank You for not pushing the THANKS button and not even say thx for reporting these bugs. I (and all Your PRO-Buyers) really appreciate that for not even giving a second for a quality check, before You upload a new version.

PS3: There is a typo in the options: "Automatically load saved list on

sstart

application".

PS4: Is it possible that the "Check MD5" option is not working? Iam using TWRP and have this option in ZipInstaller disabled. But still in TWRP its looking for a md5 file right before starting the flashing procedure. I have disabled any related MD5 check/creating options in TWRP so I think it is a problem with ZipInstaller.
[Android Software Development] Ryuinferno:
Did I read something wrong? Every dev has his own life, but he did reply to you and fixed the bug right? Does the thanks really matter compared to actual actions? And keep in mind that it's a donate version you are using, so as a token of thanks the dev gives you extra features, but that does not mean he has to cater to your every need...and humans make mistakes, try coding through thousands of lines and never ending debugging, you will know how tedious it is...this is just like pointless whining we see everyday at the Facebook app page in Play Store...really want to be helpful? Pharse things in a nicer way, or even better, try picking up coding and push commits to his Github...It's an open source app FYI...

Sorry for OT, I just can't stand this...and I will not continue this argument anymore...flame at me if you like...if it goes out of control I'll just hit the report button...
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
I'll try to check when i have some time.

EDIT: works for me.

This time i'll ignore this line. Next time i'll report you.

Same as point 1.

ZipInstaller doesn't control what TWRP does. The app just writes a files with the files to flash and restarts the device, the recovery does the rest.
[Android Software Development] gentano:
I tried on 2 different roms and on both the checkbox only updates to the choosen position after closing and restarting the app. Maybe You should check more carefully.

Enjoy.

Pretty guess its 'working' for you.

Weird argument. Then what is the MD 5 check option for if the app has absolutely no control over md5 checking?
[Android Software Development] antiochasylum:
This is why developers stop working on things. Beerbong does a great job with the app. If stuff works for him, its hard to troubleshoot when it doesn't work for you. Have some respect please.
[Android Software Development] justmpm:
Hi Everyone,

Can I ask you to kindly swing this thread back on topic? This is a Development thread on xda, which means you should expect bugs and all sorts of strange problems. You shouldn't expect instant solutions to any of these problems...somebody like beerbong makes it look really easy, but it isn't. So please give him the time he needs to fix any problems and the latitude to prioritize his schedule.

Purchasing (or even the presence of) a pro version is no guarantee of a bug free experience and does not entitle anyone to any future development. Paying up front for development is strictly against xda rules to help stop any sense of entitlement.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] gentano:
Sry, I still dont get it. Moderator Edit: Will you do me a huge favor and check your private messages and respond to the one I sent you? Just in case you aren't sure what to do...near the top of the page click on "Unread" and you will be taken to your in box. It is a fairly standard messaging program and I am sure you will figure it out.

Thanks a lot!

Don't work on my ONE_X (tegra).

Supersu 1.65 latest and philtouch latest 5.11.2 cwm based recovery.

I believe that your app don't asks for root access somehow..
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
It does, just when it starts. I use superuser in all my devices though
[Android Software Development] eskimos:
Great app, but one thing is missing to be the perfect. It would be nice to choose backup destination (external or internal sd).
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Version 4.0.2 is available for download.

Changes

- Added option to list zip files from a predefined folder

- Other improvements

Also, i've changed the way the path to SDs are (initially) configured for CWM. So, if you never changed the sdcard path option, check it to see if it's correct.

Users who have purchased the pro version will see it in the Play Store in the next hours.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Someone with last version and cwm can make a test for me?

Delete the app data and tell me if the internal sdcard path configured is more accurate. Tell me rom and android version too.
[Android Software Development] Technical:
I have used your app but missed some features that AutoFlash has:

1. Save the zip list.

2. Allow automatic update the list and removing old files.

3. Auto load the latest list so we just click a button to install several zips.

What I miss in AutoFlash that yours is quite better is the handling of the backups.

AutoFlash uses a fixed and customized backup folder and your use the automatic date/time to name the folder, which makes ZipInstaller much more integrated in the TWRP backups (or even with OBackup).

Just my personal experience. Thanks for your hard work.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
The only feature that Zipinstaller doesn't have is #2. The others have always been there
[Android Software Development] Technical:
You're right, sorry. I've tried to remember them without seeing the interface.

The "problem" is that we need to change the ROM zip file each time.

I think on Auto Flash the developer consider wildcards {name}*.zip (but more than this it also analyses which file is old).

Do you think you can/will develop this feature?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] mrjoy:
i tried two time but did flash any zip. It reboots & wipe cache & delvik cache as i selected during clicking Flash button but it is not flashing zip file. Its keep on showing unable to open file & there is no file in folder or directory????
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Check the path to your sdcard (going to the recovery -> install zip from sdcard), then go to the app and put that path in settings -> path to the internal storage

[Android Software Development] Vaiet:
I bought you a beer, Beerbong (paid for ZipImpaler™ at PrayStore™). Hope you enjoy it as much, as I will enjoy this fine app of yours ;D
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Started to implement rules.

Something like AutoFlasher but adapted to ZipInstaller, select the default folder, then add rules.

Still needs some work btw (it only uses "starts with" rule). Let's see if tomorrow i can have something visible.

Also there will be a new option when going to flash, "Delete flashed zips", that will delete the zips flashed when the device is rebooted after flashing.
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
Sounds like a great addition, looking forward to it.
[Android Software Development] Technical:
Thanks.

I suggest it was made zip by zip, i.e., file setting, and not all the zips. Otherwise, the non changed (updated) ones will be lost (like gapps, kernel, etc.).
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
You're right, will have to change that
[Android Software Development] :
I don't know If this rec has been made...

But if nandroid backup fails for a bad path, it should not then wipe and flash a ROM. The whole process should stop.

Nevertheless, this app is nearly flawless.

Thanks for this great app. I just got the donate version.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
No way to tell that to the recovery, that's why I added the "check space left" option before a backup, that's the only reason for a backup to fail
[Android Software Development] :
Gotcha.

Yeah I accidentally ****ed up the sdcard path and it booted to recovery, skipped the backup due to the bad path, and wiped system without a backup

Regardless, this app is the best of its class. Thanks for the hard work.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Wait, i added an assert (in cwm) to check if the backup is correctly finished. Will be in next version. Dunno if it will stop execution btw, but should.
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Version 4.0.3 is online (when goo decides to show it).

Users who have purchased the app will see it in the Play Store in the next hours.

Changes:

- Added rules to add files to the list (default folder must be set)

- Option to delete the file after flashing (through file info dialog)

- Bug fixes

To use the rules you've got to set the default folder in settings (default is /sdcard/download/) and the clik "Rules", select the type of rule and add a name. For example, if you wanna add all AOSPA files in the folder, you gotta add the rule type "starts with" and name "pa_".

Once you have one or more rules defined, there will appear a "apply rules" button in the action bar. Clicking it will add all the matching zips to the list.

To delete a file after flashing it, click it when you've added it to the list and check the "delete" checkbox.
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
I must be doing something wrong here, after setting some rules no zip's appeared in the flash list.

So I wanted to start from scratch and found that once the default folder is set I have no way of changing it :confused:
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Press back to navigate in that dialog. I know I gotta improve it (a back button, etc)
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
Thanks, did think of that one :o

It's all working now.
[Android Software Development] vrwmiaris1:
Even with new version i can't install anything with SE
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
What is SE
[Android Software Development] vrwmiaris1:
Solid explorer
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Won't work, solid explorer doesn't return the file path but an id, weird but it works like that
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Version 4.0.4 available.

The app now works with SolidExplorer (and other file managers that return the file id instead of the file path)

The file/folder picker has been improved.

There's also some bug fixes.
[Android Software Development] vrwmiaris1:

[Android Software Development] beerbong:

And here is some French wine to help
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Lol I'm on Mexican beer right now

Btw, n7000 and cm's cwm right?
[Android Software Development] :
Yes, everything on this device is CWM as if now.

Also one bug, I'm not sure if a logcat would help: when running an OTA update via goo, if I rotate screen, the download window will disappear and the download apparently stops.

Let me know if a logcat is needed of this occuring
[Android Software Development] beerbong:
Version 4.0.5 is available on goo. People who has purchased the app will see it in the Play Store in the next hours.

Changelog:

- Initialization improvements

- Visualization improvements

- Option to force CWM to mount external sdcard

- Bug fixes

It's in my plans changing the app's license to GPL v3. I'm saying this just in case you've used some code from ZipInstaller and you are keeping it hidden, in the next days, when i change the license, you'll have to make it open.
[Android Software Development] 01000010:
Wonderful program!

Would it be possible to allow storage of backups on the external sdcard?

Version 4.1.0 is up on goo. Users who have purchased the app will see it in the Play Store in the next hours.

Changelog

- GPLv3 license. This means everyone who uses some ZipInstaller code in an app is obliged to make it open source.

- Backup and restore in external sdcard (not fully tested in TWRP). Fully tested in CWM, not in TWRP, so i'll need some feedback on this

- Disabled su alert. Fixed the bug for which an alert was shown even if the device was well rooted

- Added ads (pro version doesn't have it). Sorry but i need some cash :p, the Play Store version doesn't have ADS

- Option to login to goo.im, Once you are logged in, you won't have to wait 10 seconds for the downloads to start. You'll need an account there obviously

- Moar bug fixes
[Android Software Development] Technical:
The default action for the button "add" or, in other words, which app should be opened when you add a file is NOT saving the default for me. Each time it opens a list of all zip file possible managers nevertheless I click "always" when prompted.
