Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator [Script] Drag/Drop Support [Windows]

---

This script has 2 main uses:

1. Modify an update.zip
2. Create an update.zip

For #1 - You just extract the contents of an update.zip into the placehere folder, modify its contents, and run the script stating to create an update.zip

For #2 - So far these are the options i have in there for create the update-script

1. Copy directories
2. Copy files
3. Create Symlinks
4. Delete file
5. Delete directory
6. Flash boot image
7. Set permissions for file
8. Set permissions for directory

New Features in 2.0 :
- Set java heap size / compression level for zip
- New drag/drop mode.
>>> - If you drag a folder onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will compress the contents of the folder into a zip and sign it.
>>> - If u drag a zip onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will sign the zip for you.

So this script guides u as u select each option, and adds the appropriate command to the update-script file. Then u exit that sub-menu and create update.zip

Heres a video for a better explanation:



This script is a result of me constantly wanting to modify roms before i flash them & users who are unaware/lost as to creating/modifying update.zips.

Awesome Gotta try it out.

I tried using this to just push a single app into /system/app just to see if it would work, but when I try to flash from recovery I get E:Syntax error in update script

when I open my update script it reads thus:

package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk")

Do you know what the issue might be?

Hmm thats wierd. Can u try placing the file inside a folder withing the placehere folder? N then try it. Tell me if tht works, in meantime ill try a example, perhaps the new changes i made broke something

K i figured it out, i forgot to place a ; after the line. Try placing it and then flashing. Ill fix it.

update-script is now

package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk");

but I still get a syntax error

Edit: I had also tried putting it in a placeholder file, but that didn't help either, even with the added semicolon

Hmm so something seems wrong with my package_extract_file syntax

Even though ive compared it to online update-script samples. Regardless, for now use the copy directories option instead.

Retry, cuz i just did it and it works fine.

Created a folder app inside placehere folder
placed my apk inside it
Ran the script, chose option 1
Then chose option 1
Then typed DATA
Then typed app
Then typed app
Then typed 9
Then typed 2
Then flashed the update.zip

Letter Casing matters, if it says SYSTEM or DATA , do that dont do data or system.

Btw, first clear out using the script. So when u run it. type y to clear ur previous work.

K i uploaded a fixed one. No file option for now just directory. And added a push to sdcard option. I think wht u were doing was putting it inside a folder and still using the file option.

Yay, it works now. Thank you for creating this and for helping me.
