I am not sure what that is but heck it definitely worth a shot. This program has a lot of potential. I can't wait to get it so it will do the whole process! ! Keep up the good work ma!

First i want to say thanks for all the hard work. this program came about just as i was start with a few of my hand written scripts...

so the error is gone but it is not creating the *.zip file.
There is a pop up window that states "File created succesfully" but there is not .zip in the filepath i named. This is also the same problem when it is pushing to my device... the adb commands run fine but no file is there... is there a debug mode or something like that that i can grab for you?

Thank you very much.

Could you check if a file C:\Users\kknobles\AppData\Local\Temp\UpdatezipCreator\update_not_signed.zip exists?
If yes, there could some problems with signing. I'll create log module and I'll update app in few hours.

It should be in the main directory of app.

Bug found!
I've changed the path of creating not signed archive to the local temp directory, but I forgot to change the variable that indicates the new path of that not signed archive, so signapk.jar was looking for this file in the main directory of app (it was a bug). Anyway, solved :) - app updated to 1.0.0.7.

Thanks, users' feelings and requests are the most important :)

Perhaps we will meet in person each other some day, so small beer would be nice :)

Yeah, but you can compile it via Mono (with little changes). But I have no any linux installed and have no expierence with linux commands. When i get my notebook back, i'll install linux and try to make a proper version.

What can this mean?

Linux installed, If I have some time, I'll try to rebuild it and compile under the linux :)

Thank you.

Which script are you using? I suppose it's edify. Are you using built-in template?

So...
App compiled on a Linux, but there is problem - a dll library that app uses for making zip files is not compatible with linux..
My time is very limited now, but maybe I'll find some free time to rebuild ThemeUpdateCreator in... java.

    Yes I am full root and s-off
    Yes I tried using both
    I am not sure how to do that

    You've tried edify, but didn't change the mounting point, so it couldn't work.. You need to change the line
    mount("/dev/block/stl6", "system", "/system", "rw");
    to:
    mount("/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "system", "/system", "rw");

    Here is a prepared update-script for your device. Load it in update-script tab page in the app before making update.zip. I hope it will work. Do not forget to check the edify script in options.

    So, here are steps:
    1. Add files you want to
    2. Check the edify script and built-in update-binary in the options page
    3. Load prepared file or change "mount" line manually in a update-script page
    4. Create zip archive

    You can also try to mount system via (instead of "mount(..."):
    run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "-t", "auto", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");
    It also should work.

    I cant get it to work. I am getting an error status 25. I have tried all the combinations. I have tried the different update binary and updater scripts and i get the same outcome.


    update.. It looks like for my phone i need an updater-script rather than update script. Here is a link to the successful zip. I had to open the finished zip(ur program) and delete the update-script and replace it with an updater-script. Is there any way you can adjust it so it will have the right scripts each time so i dont have to manually change anything? That would be awesome. I have been looking for something like this for years. so nice to have simple gui and not have to use update.zip creator and then use amend2edify to make a zip. here is a link http://www.mediafire.com/?29vyc5sojdm946b

    Thanks a lot.. it's all my fault. I've not noticed, that amend scripts require "update-script" name and edify scripts "updater-script"...

    The new version has been released, please try it now :)

    simply changelog:
    1.0.0.3
    -Fixed bug with the wrong name of edify scripts
