Changeing RIL/Kernel directly in ROM.zip - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know you can directly add apk's to system/app in the zip file and there will be no problems but is it safe to extract ril files to system/bin and system/ril and replace boot.img directly and be safe to flash?

if you only need to install, reinstall or repair your some application, then you only have to extract it, copy it to sd card and install it as a normally .apk. but if it a system apk, you have to push it by using an explorer that can access system file, e.g Root Explorer.
I guess it's not a flashable zip. it's a firmware with .ftf extention inside the .rar.
so you can't install it by CWM, you have to flash it by flashtool. CMIIW
erm..i dnt know..but i couldn't find any .tft file inside..lots of folder..bt sure is,thr lots of .apk files too..
so..how??=.=
wait a minute, I'm downloading it to see the file.

those were system files from your phone that have been extracted from ICS rom...what you see in the system files is the same as in your phone...those system files is good backup in case you decided to remove/edit any system files (bloatware)....
those system files is not for normal install...you have to use Root Explorer to copy and paste it to your phone system files if you want get back the files you have remove before this....
remember you need to change permission for those files (rw-r-r)....

agree with this...
just like I posted above, you have to push it manually to /system/app .

Need a flashable zip

Can someone send me a blank flashable zip that I can use to flash mods i'm working on with CWM? I tried figuring out how to make them once and it was very confusing. All I really need is a zip that will copy everything from the /system folder in the zip to the /system folder of my phone. That way I can flash /system/app and /system/framework with the same blank file.

Help Need Meta-inf

So, my phone recently got soft bricked....
I had the tar file of the XXELK4 leaked firmware and i extracted it, unpacked system.img.
Mounted it as ext4 and extracted the contents.
I want to make a flashable zip file from the system.img contents.
I made a folder called system. In which all app, bin, etc and other folders are.
Then i copied over the boot.img from the tar file...
Now, i need the meta-inf. I tried using some meta-inf from other roms, and removing the aroma functions from them.
Then trying to flash..
I get only a bootloop.
So, could someone provide a clean Meta-inf consisting of only the updater-script and update-binary??

Stock Rom

Can anyone give me a link to download the stock rom.zip file for gt-s5280 cuz i would like to port cm 10.2.Pls help me.The zip file shud only have these three files:
Meta-inf folder
system folder
Boot.img
thats it

why i cant copy apk file from system folder in a rom to another rom?

I'm using V7 MIUI rom, I downloaded V8 rom from miui.com (both of them are Chinese's rom). I find that I can copy apk files in "Data" folder and install it normally. But apk files in "System"--->"Data" and "Priv-Data" cant do like that. I cant install them like files in "Data" folder does, and I notice that those file have a folder in same directory, inside that folder have a ".odex" file.
So, i wonder that those file must be install in special ways? And How can I install them?
Thank you for my poor english.:good:
Those system apk files usualy need to be flashed. You could copy and paste them in in a ROM.ZIP you are currently using and install them via a recovery (TWRP or CWM).
How it is actually done I am not realy sure (no experience) but in theory it should work this way.
