Please need help regarding meta-inf

[shantusingh]

i installed "4.0.3 Leak On Screen Buttons" which was in zip having two folders

1 - meta- inf [which has a com folder (with files in it update-binary and updater-script) and with three files CERT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF and CERT.SF]

2 - system (in it framework-res.apk)

so i installed this zip via cwm, but i didn't liked the concept as it wasn't looking good,etc

so as i had already backed up my original framework-res.apk , so using root explorer i moved it back in sys/framework folder

restarted my phone and all got fine....

Though my question is as those files : update-binary and updater-script ---- CERT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF and CERT.SF are not searchable and i guess should not be deleted as they were just updated .. so still would they be impacting my phone or its all kool as i havn't been able to search them or delete them ?!

is it important to find and delete them or its no need for that and its ok ?!

Hope someone understands what i am trying to ask and reply appropriately please i would highly appreciate the same!

Think them like busybox (so you can mount delete etc)
And script file, that includes commands to do.

Every cwm zip files includes them. when you install zip file, these commands executed.

Just ease me by telling that so its nothing but just used for commands, so i need not to be worried for them could be hampering my phone's performance ?!

Just to clarify,

That folder contains the Zip signatures and file manifests. as well as the CWM controll scripts. ect. these should never be coppied to the phone on a flash. likewise if you edit them the zip will prob not work without resigning the zip.

is it important to find and delete them or its no need for that and its all ok now as i just moved the original framework back ?!

Sorry if I didn't make it clear.

They are not flashed. Hence you can't find them. So no need to worry.

Awesome thank you! I understood they just help in probably installing that particular app giving its own correct signatures and file manifests w.e so it gets installed via cwm and nothing more . And as i just backed up my original framework-res.apk to framework folder so its ofcourse all back to normal, though my phone is fine always as it was, I just had this doubt in my mind and m glad it got cleared thanks again!!

Cheers!!

Where did you place the Meta-INF files? I know system files goto system/framework but I cant find where Meta-INF files go. I'm using a root file manager.

You are not correct about the system files. And I recommend you do some more reading on how these zips work.

Metainf is FOR THE ZIP. And has been prety well explained above.
