Can I replace apks in the system folder on an odexed rom, or do I need to be deodexed first?
I think so yes
But replacing system apps is always a bit tricky
even if ure doing everything right u might get bootloops
you shall download a deodexed rom and replace the apk u want to switch in the rom on the system/app path and flash ur modified rom via recovery
but first of all u should do a backup in recovery mode for the case it wont work

Hello !
I'm the maker of the Space & Time ROM and i would know how to make to put an modified system apk in the zip of my ROM. Because when i put the modified apk in the zip of my ROM, the apk FCs and she doesn't launch, but if i make an CWM-Zip to flash the apk with the Recovery, she works....
Thanks a lot in advance.

Guys,i have successfully installed kitchen,for my computer.I wanted to know,can we use the cwm backuped rom as base rom,or shouuld I download a stockrom and wich is the latest firmware for galaxy ace ??
Download the newest firmware from samfirmware, flash it through odin, connect your device with the computer and take the /system folder from the phone. Put it in a .zip and you can start building your custom rom.

By using a Root Explorer or by CWM Backup (How you said).
Use splitfus to split the firmware you want. Extract PDA with 7zip. Open system.img with ultraiso. Extract all the contents within a folder. These are the files you will modify. Use any tool to change files as you wish...

Use one of the roms zip file and replace the system folder inside. Kitchen recognize zip files in right format.

As i said in previous post, take a custom roms zip file delete system stuff in it and replace your stock system files with it... Use newly created zip in kitchen...

I have a samsung note 3 sprint smn900p
I want to translate the system apks like framework-res.apk and secsettings.apk
then I found one of my friend has a same mobile note 3 sprint already translated and same android version 4.4.2
so I copy all of his files completely ( all system files and system apks ) around 2 GB .
and I make a backup of my system using TWRP recovery .
and now I try to install his framework-res.apk , so I copy it to my sdcard and using rootexplore then change the permissions to R-W-R-R and paste the framework-res.apk file to the system/framework folder and it already replaced the old framework-res.apk with the new framework-res.apk which already translated . but the problem I dont see that the mobile make upgrading for the new apk so I go to the new framework and try to install it from rootexplorer but always get a message app not installed.
I change the mount to RO then RW but nothing change only app not installed.
so how to install the new framework-res.apk ?
my second question, can I make a new rom using my friends complete system files and flash it to my mobile ?
thank you
This "upgrading" on boot only happens if you wipe dalvik cache. Try to flash some other rom here from xda as if you do something wrong then you can brick your device. One possibility is flashing his efs partition to your device. That would probably be a hard brick.
After a failed online nandroid backup recovery I just shake my head.... not again. Don't want to flash stock rom, root, custom recovery flash path again!
So, I really like to create a flashable rom from my old backup. I just lack the meta-inf.
All these make flashable threads say get the meta-inf folder from any rom. I don't think that it is THAT easy.
(I tried a Meta-inf from a custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-noble-rom-t3403867/page19#post69117710
, but during zipping I get an error that it could not create something....)
Where can I get a working meta-inf file for Samsung S5 G901F, that I do not need to alter or just works?
Thanks you very much.
Hey,
Today I used a ROM to flash my mobile (Samsung J5 2016 edition, model: J510FN) and I just used the perfect ROM, and it fits perfectly. But when I try to turn on WiFi it goes back swipe to off automatically when I swipe it to on.
I used this rom (version v1.1 because v2 and v3 were gone and bad): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-stock-rom-v1-t3467865
Someone knows what to do? I'm a beginner, so please explain it good. I have everything btw like Odin, TWRP, latest SuperSU, etc.
Please help.
Thanks
From your stock rom Copy the folder named Permissions from /system/etc and paste it at the same location in your new downloaded rom.
DONOT delete the existing folder , just replace the files.
Good Luck Cheers

You mean an img file , right?
If you have twrp or cwm backup of your stock rom , you can extract it from that file(ext4.system.tar.a) , if you dont have a twrp/cwm backup , you can try to flash stock rom from that img file and then copy necessary files into sdcard and then re flash your new rom and paste the existing files.
Good luck/

No, its an md5 file. Inside the md5 file (when I open it with winrar) it only shows hidedcache files etc and also boot.img
I need to have go to the patch (system/etc/permissions

Then you might need to flash your stock rom first and then copy the necessary files.
I have an Mediatek device , steps to troubleshoot are same , but I have a zip of my stock rom created to access stock files when ever i need them.
I would advise you to do the same for future troubleshooting..
Good Luck mate

And what are the nessecary files? Only the permissions folder or more?

Permission folder worked for me , but i would insist you to copy the entire /system partition as backup once you have flashed the stock rom just in case.
If permission folder doesnt work , then try replacing files starting with wlan from /system/lib/modules from stock to port
Do only when permissions folder doesnt work.
