Different PC won't help, I'd suggest you to try installing an os and push the file manually, give permissions and restart. If that doesn't work that means this is not compatible as a priv-app. You might wanna try pushing it to system/app.

Please I have about 300 personal apk's which I want to create flash zip from so that I can flash it any time I do fresh installation.

The last time I created one the zip file did not install and gave me file corruption
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
Are you on nought on oreo?

You can push the files to /data/app till nougat, unfortunately there is no way you can install those apps using a flashable zip in oreo.

You can try pushing all the apk files to /system/app or /system/priv-app to make them system app but not all apps can work properly when made system apps.

Hi. Please help me with what I need to do. I think could be an easy job. Please warm me if this will not be possible to do.

I post the question inside this thread.

Thanks a lot!!.

Can I use this to create a flashable .zip to flash an updated radio image to my phone?

Unfortunately, I own a bullhead with a replaced main board, which means the bootloader keeps locking itself. And I don't want to unlock the bootloader to flash the radio via fastboot. I know it's possible to create a flashable .zip with a radio.img inside, but I'm not sure if this tool is the right choice for that plan.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
You can try creating a custom group and specify the path where you want to push the file, provide the permissions and the generated zip file will do the job!

Have backup handy before flashing the zip!

hello, is this tool make compatible zip for user installed app (/data/app/appname) for android pie, i m using latest alpha release. i have lots of apps and games which i dont want to make system app so can i use a zip with this which install all my apps as user installed app with proper permissions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
Hi,

Unfortunately No, while I am working on other features, I still haven't got chance to find a way to install user installed apps via flashable zip.

You might have to rely on Titanium backup for that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
Anyone interested in beta testing the tool?

Feature list can be found here: Commits.

I have tested it on my device and it works perfectly. if it works as expected for others too, I will release it publicly.

The released version doesn't support pie/Q.

Yes, the structure is different as things have changed with Android Q.

I never stopped developing it. For now, I don't have plans to release it since I don't see many people interested in it. A public release takes a lot of effort.

Hello guys,

I need a little help (currently without PC).

Can someone make a flashable zip for me. I want to replace all default Lineage OS sounds with new from Android 10 (system/media/audio).

Here is link with all sounds https://drive.google.com/file/d/1te2-4DzlyfjKgrMW-6NnQ_PqcTBiRyeW/view

Thanks in advance...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crok.bic:
If you are on LineageOS currently then it's an easy DIY activity:

Install ZipME from Play Store,

Create a ZIP with ZipME with the original LineageOS sounds from your current ROM.

Remove the original sounds from the zip and replace with the Android 10 sounds (with Solid FM or MiXplorer choose your weapon).

Flash it.

Profit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Heathered:
Thanks, I already did it.

Found similar zip file from other member and replace wanted folders.

also have a feature request of removing system apps & also adding files to other system partitions

& Keep up the great work sir

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
I see. I'll make the required changes. Thanks! :)

The download link in OP is not of dev-host. If you are facing issues in download, go to Download tab of the thread and download from there.

Yes. Next release.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add it into list of devices.

I'll add system apps removing feature in next release. What all partitions from system are you suggesting to add?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sher1234:
etc, lib, addon.d partitions as there are some zips that i required to flash again after clean flash (but its not mandatory), i would like etc partition to be modified for now

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RajatPatel:
I will be updating the second post this weekend with the instructions to use the tool. Too busy with family and work.

Bcoz every device has their own update-binary specific to the device architecture, hence u need to select device at the start so binary for the selected device will get included in the resulting zip.

Having said that, you will be happy to hear that we have found a way to get around this limitation and currently implementing it in the tool so u can expect next release pretty soon which will have universal update-binary that will work with any device out of the box, just like SuperSU zip which works on any damn device!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pnsdhrn:
Thanks Rajat for your kindness.I shall wait for it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
Either share your device's update-binary which will be included in v3.2 or wait for a the big release which will have universal update-binary i.e. v4.0

Yes, it would be great to add all those mods into a single Aroma flashable zip. We will spend time into achieving this but that might take some good amount of time as every flashable zip of mod has different structure present into it.

I believe, One way of achieving that is to add Custom group where user can add whatever folder he wants to push files to and then user can replicate the structure of any particular mod.

To start with, can you help sharing zip of few mods that you use so that we can think of a way to integrate that!?

You can fetch it from any Custom rom for your device.

Meanwhile, go to about menu of tool. You will find instructions there. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] logosA:
Your tool is fantastic. This is something all of us were looking for, especially now with android N that google play is not restoring every app previous installed in the phone. Also Titanium couldn't do the job as we were doing it with MM roms.

Any way , i would like to share here a method i found making a a flash-able zip with all my apps which now I am able to flash and not installing one by one each time i clean flash a rom ( and believe me I do it a lot, every day)

1. Downloaded your tool from Downloads in post 1> unzip it in a folder in my ext sdcard

2. Used Titanium back app and created an update.zip with all user apps installed in my phone. I did this so to not have to look for each and every app installed in the phone. Just selected user app and titanium selected all.

after that unzipped all these apk in a folder in ext card ( did tried to add the zip in you tool but didn't worked out, so unzipped it.)

3. connected my phone to a pc with windows 7 and latest java version installed in it

run FlashableZipCreator.jar from the folder i had previous unzipped

4. program pop up , added all the apk previous collected with Titanium and with the next click everything

was successfully created.

Thats perfect and very useful.

I ll try to spread the word so everyone in the Samsung note 2 community running Android N, learn and use that magnificent tool

:) :)

Thanks very much for your time and your amazing work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RajatPatel:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] logosA:
As I promised i have posted detailed report for your tool in the Android N 7.1.1 threads for Samsung Note 2, so expect some visitors with many questions in the next days.

I would ask to help me with 2 things that I was not able to check by my self because I cant check in my own phone for a couple of days (a potential buyer has it ) .

1 . after flashing apps through recovery , with the flashable zip, do we need to set the permissions again , or the zip also keep the condition of the permission as it was in the rom when the zip was created? In one word , do permit ions change to defaults , as Titanium backup does?

2. A very painfull proccess after flashing NIGHTLIES is with the modes which each time must be reflashed to work again. Some of these are with aroma installer also. SO, could be possible, sometime in the future, these modes to be included in the flashable or you thing its impossible? ( aroma in the aroma :) )

EX. ARISE Sound Systems Deuteronomy 2.4 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862697055 or

even more difficult this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120703424

Thank for your time again.

It doesn't need to be answered immediately but its food for thinking.

Even if its not possible just yet, don't even think about it, you have earned us so much time either way :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mbl007:
Awesome job thanks! I just wanna know if i can backup the apk with its data or only the apk alone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nikhil:
Thanks!

For 1, yes it sets the permission itself.

For 2, yes it Is really tough to integrate an existing zip/mod.

There are two options.

1. We start adding support for existing mods. (in this case you will be able to import few mods in zip and they would be included as an option to install in Recovery.)

2. We add Custom group and you add all the files into that group and specify the installation path and set permissions for each file.

Wondering why not do both :D

We'll see what we can achieve but it'll take time. :)

For now, only apk.

Would it be helpful if you have flashable zip with 'restore data' functionality!?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mbl007:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m0han:
Restore 'apps & apps-data in one go' possible?

without doubt it would be great to restore 'apps & apps-data in one go' across roms. what i do now is backup all data and all apps

+apps' data

using mybackup pro and restore everything later. i prefer this app over titan!um. i also use rom settings backup pro app - the title is self-explanatory.

If you have created a zip and it is not flashing, upload it somewhere and share link. We'll see if it is a zip problem or device problem.
