What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

When i drag the folder to the command window, it then shows the location of the 
folder that i want to create a zip with but when i hit enter it closes., any 
ideas?

Any more information? 
a) What's the line of text that you see before it crashes? 
b) Does it just immediately close the entire thing? 
c) Operating system?
d) Possibly upload the folder that you are trying to make into a zip?

The program can only exit in one of three ways:

1) The folder you dragged/dropped doesn't contain a system or data folder --> 
error msg and exit

2) There was a problem creating the zip using 7zip --> error msg and exit

3) Successful creation of zip --> normal termination

It closes too quick i cant see the error
The folder I am trying to zip is for a theme, the folder name is system and has 
sub-directories for both app and framework.
I am using windows 7

I found the problem. I forgot to add a pause for you to see the error in the 
standalone version. I'm fixing it now. Also, you don't want to drag "system" 
into the window. You need to drag the "YourThemeNameHere" folder into the 
window.  "YourThemeNameHere" should have the system folder inside it. Ex 
hierarchy:

YourThemeNameHere 
   system
      app
         stuff
      framework 
   data
      app 
         stuff

Got it, I will try it again. Do i need to set permissions for the
framework.res etc?

I've never had to change permissions with the APK's that were in my zips. 
However, I never did framework-res either. Always do a nandroid first though. 
With framework, you wouldn't be able to change permissions anyway because at 
least on my Droid X if the framework-res is messed up, the phone just bootloops 
with no ADB. 

Zips made with the tool have been working for me, but I never want to give 100% 
approval since *bad* things can happen.

The out of memory error looks interesting... By default, the program asks for 
128MB of heap space from the Java VM. How much memory do you have on your PC? 
Also, the Java error is from the signing process that uses signapk.jar. 

As far as the corrupted zip goes, that might be a side effect of the signing 
process. The command that gets executed to do the zip creation is on line 119 
of:
http://code.google.com/p/android-customization-autotool/source/browse/trunk/src/
standalones/UpdateZipWizard/CreateUpdateZip.py

All it does is execute:
7za a -tzip -mx0 .\generatedZips\gg.zip inputFolder\*

I'm changing the code to actually print all output. I had removed it for 
cleanliness issues, only printing output if 7zip exited abnormally, but it'll 
probably help to have it all there.

For now, I'd try to execute the 7zip command manually. I'll probably be 
changing the heap size too. I've only got 2GB of memory on my laptop, but the 
process probably doesn't need 128MB anyway.

I have about 12gigs of ram so i don't think that is the issue?

Do I need to have 7zip installed?

Original comment by jgrimber...@gmail.com on 26 Aug 2011 at 2:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I figured as much, 128MB shouldn't be the issue, but I had to ask.

Can you run the signapk.jar file manually without problems? 

java -Xmx128m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 gg.zip 
signedgg.zip

or this? 

java -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 gg.zip signedgg.zip

Shouldn't need 7zip installed since I've included the stand-alone in the 
package. On my machine, I have 7zip installed, but it's not in my PATH 
environment variable, so the program is using that stand-alone I included.

Do i just run that command at terminal? it tried that and it says unable to
acces jarfile.signapk.jar

It's at the terminal. The jar file needs to be in the current directory. So 
from the root directory with all the files in it type:

java -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509 testkey.pk8 .\generatedZips\blah.zip 
signedblah.zip 

Just replace blah with the name of the zip you generated.

I've updated the code, still need to put it in a distributable format (besides 
just a raw python script), but here's the new output. This is what it "should" 
look like:

Code here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-customization-autotool/source/browse/#svn%2Ftru
nk%2Fsrc%2Fstandalones%2FUpdateZipWizard

If you have python installed and in your PATH, just copy the files into the 
same folder as the previous EXE and just run:

python CreateUpdateZip.py

Make sure you get 2.7:

Working on the .exe and doing some preliminary testing. Hopefully get it 
published tonight.

Also note that Python isn't needed with the .exe since the interpreter is 
included in the .exe (which is why it's so large)

Python is pretty much the best programming language I've ever used in terms of 
quick prototyping and built-in, easy to use, power. That, and it's interpreted 
so you don't need to compile something just to test a snippet. 

I'm having issues with the .exe generation for now. If you get it to work, let 
me know what the problem was so I can close the issue and jot it down on the 
Wiki. If you keep having problems, keep posting and I'll keep helping you as 
much as I can.

The biggest "problem" with the tools I've written is that they don't actually 
*do* much. Instead they use other tools (like the jar and 7zip) to execute a 
procedure for you. What that means is that if you have any problems getting the 
individual parts to work (i.e you can't get the jar to work by itself from the 
command-line) then you have bigger problems outside the scope of the tool. I 
can still offer some assistance there, but there's not really any code edits I 
can do for you (outside of changing parameters). 

Keep me in the loop. Good luck for now.

I am not sure I understand, so did you make a .exe?

No luck with the .exe yet. I'm having some runtime import issues. If you 
downloaded Python, then you should be able to run the updated version from the 
repository (links above) using 'python CreateUpdateZip.py' at the command line. 
I'll hopefully have an .exe tomorrow, I just need to figure out the problem. 
Only used py2exe a handful of times.

I noticed that there is not a updater-script in the zip after it finished,
isnt that needed? are the zips flashable with CMR 3.0> or edified?

It won't generate one if you have a META-INF folder that already exists in your 
folder. If you didn't have a META-INF folder when you started, the script is 
located in:

META-INF/com/google/android

Did you get the prompt to view the script? I would delete the META-INF folder 
if it exists and try again. Off to work...

Made a new .exe. Its on the downloads page.

It works now, signs the zip fine!

Is there any way to make it so the zip is flashable in CM Recovery 3.0+, edify?

Clockwork Mod right? You should just be able to find it on your sdcard and 
select it. Not sure about edify, only used Clockwork.
