[beerbong]

ZipInstaller 5.0.3
A fast and easy way to install ZIPs
This app was posted in XDA portal
Review at AndroidDissected

Overview
ZipInstaller is a tool that makes it easier and faster to pick up and install zip files through your recovery. Instead of manually rebooting into the recovery and selecting files from there, you can pick up all the zips you want with your favorite file manager from the sdcard and install them with just one click, that's it.

TWRP, 4EXT and CWM-based recoveries are fully supported.
Closed source CWM is only supported through RomManager premium.


Features
- Install as much zips you want in a row
- Add zips directly from a file manager
- Add zips through folder rules
- Click on the zips added to see its properties, remove it from the list or mark it to delete after flashing.
- You can define the recovery and the sdcard mount point name in the menu.
- If you add a zip that was already added, it goes down to the last position.
- Reorder the list using drag and drop.
- Use the app to download zips, they're added to the install list
- Backup, restore and delete backup.
- Check MD5 sum (manually or automatically through *.md5sum)
- Application automatic updates
- Sync backups in the cloud (dropbox and drive)
- Get notifications of updates of your rom if they are on goo.im or ota-update-center
- Download the new version of your rom and add it to the list automatically
- Navigate Goo.im
- ONandroid backup (backups without rebooting) thanks to Ameer Dawood
- Flash boot and recovery images if available
- Open source!

Q&A and troubleshooting

Q&A and troubleshooting

I have ClockworkMod (official Koush's one) recovery and it's giving me this error: "Error processing ROM Manager script"
You've got to select CWM-official in settings and have RomManager premium installed.

The recovery throws this error: "Can't mount /emmc/..."
Change the internal sd card path to sdcard in menu -> SD card.

I hit the "Install now" button but nothing happens
Install the app as a system app. Should work now.

good to see this type of thing when you don't want to use rom manager

galaxy mini people will love this

I'll give it a go as soon as I get back home, don't have my Note with me ATM. Thanks a million, BB.

This is pretty sweet. Will give it a go today.

Well, chas, you don't have a "CWM-based Recovery", you have a "ClockworkMod Recovery". The ClockworkMod Recoveries prevent from using the extendedcommand scripts.

Nothing i can do... you can update your recovery or talk to the rom developer (if he builds from source) to change one of these two pieces of code of android_bootable_recovery

in Android.mk

ifdef I_AM_KOUSH
RECOVERY_NAME := ClockworkMod Recovery
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DI_AM_KOUSH
else
RECOVERY_NAME := CWM-based Recovery
endif

or in edifyscripting.c

#ifdef I_AM_KOUSH
    if (0 != (ret = before_run_script(tmp))) {
        ui_print("Error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher.\n");
        return ret;
    }

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Would it work on TWRP, perhaps? These are the only two recoveries available for N7 AFAIK.

TWRP has it's own scripting language called OpenRecoveryScript, interesting, do you know if TWRP supports the n7000? if so, i'll install it and make some test.

I remeber Note AOKP had TWRP at some point, but they abandoned it for some reason or another.

 

[beerbong]

Betatesters needed for version 2.2.

I have to test ZipInstaller in a TWRP recovery, so if you have a device with this recovery and wanna help me, please send me a PM or post it here.

 

[beerbong]

Version 2.2 released

TWRP support not fully tested. If you test it, try switching the internal storage mount point name to "sdcard" or "data/media" (in menu -> internal storage). Min version of TWRP is 2.2

Uploaded to goo.im. Check when it's available.

 

[dheeraj (dhlalit11)]

the app didn't work on my Samsung captivate running android v4.0 and have cwm recovery v6

the app is a bit off of the screen

in the below link you can find the screenshot and last log of the recovery

https://www.box.com/shared/38ye7g8ppf6rtikzoj8r

one thing I noted in the last log is it took my internal memory as emmc

You are using a recovery called "Devil" that i don't know about. It seems to be using both extendedcommand and openrecoveryscript (althought the TWRP version is lower than 2.2 cause it can't handle the print command). The sdcard path seems correct, so is emmc, maybe the problem are the spaces in the zip name.

Also, if there are FCs, please provide a logcat.

 

[dheeraj (dhlalit11)]

indeed its devil kernel which have both cwm based recovery and twrp, am thinking about the sdcard marker, it could be the problem and also the space in the name could be

i can take logcat

but it would be good if you can give the command to log the events which are related only with your app, so that only useful events would be logged
