There are just so many steps and it is so time consuming. It would be nice if we could <strong>have all our apps, data and preferences in a single flashable zip<\/strong> which we could flash without the need for restoring anything. Well thanks to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jrummyapps.com\/\">JRummy Apps<\/a>, we have. It\u2019s called <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=zip.me\">ZIPme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=zip.me\">ZIPme<\/a> is <strong>a powerful tool to create \"update ZIP packages\" to install in recovery<\/strong>. ZIPme allows you to create a flashable backup ZIP of anything from build.prop, system fonts, accounts, boot animation and many others. You can flash it in Android recovery after you have flashed a new ROM.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Recommended Reading:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/stream-android-screen-airplay-mirror\/\">Screencast Your Android Display To Apple TV With Mirror App<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Change any file into Flashable Zip<\/h2>\n<p>You can download ZIPme app over <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=zip.me\">here<\/a>. When you open the app, you will be presented with a straightforward interface. The +ADD feature allows you to add Apps, Data, System, File or Folder type formats to be created into a single flashable zip file.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/flashable-zip-android-zipme\/home.jpg\" alt=\"Zipme App Home Page\" width=\"500\" height=\"297\"><\/figure>\n<p>Under <strong>Apps<\/strong>, choose to backup downloaded apps, system apps and others, as a standalone app or together with backed-up app data. After that your apps will be added to the main page.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/flashable-zip-android-zipme\/backup-apps.jpg\" alt=\"App Data and Data Only\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\"><\/figure>\n<p>Proceed the same way for Data, System, File and Folder type formats too.

Then you may change the default filename to whatever you want. Press <strong>OK<\/strong> when you\u2019re done.
