Hiii
I made one flashable zip file download it from Link:
http://db.tt/YNmRvTvm
Open it with winzip or winrar or 7zip
Open my zip file
Open folder named system
Then open folder named app
Then drag and drop that app.
Then copy that zip file to directly your sd card and flash it with cwm

He doesn't have root or unlock bootloader,so no cwm, so he can t flash zips,that's obvious, so no chances of modify system files

Make sure you see "System" and "META-INF" when you open the zip(these should NOT be in sub folder)
Make sure the zip is correct, and is indeed for your firmware
open the zip with winzip and check there should not be a sub folder
if you find one then try to extract it using any archive tool like winrar

I have Criskelo Rom V32 a i want to install back any of origo systems apps

How can I so that? Thanks
1. Use PC to unzip your ROM.
2. Extract the apps you want from system/app folder
3. Copy to sdcard
3. Use a root file explorer to copy or move to system/app directory on phone (mount r/w before paste)
4. Reboot into CWM recovery
5. Wipe cache and advanced/dalvik
6. Reboot
Or,
Just reflash ROM and no wipe. This will lose any themes and mods though.

You could modify the custom rom and add the apps you want then install the custom rom .
Open zip file with win rar System/apps add what you want .

Do you mean unzip rom in pc, insert apps and then again put to the phone?

Download custom rom to PC
Open rom with winrar but do not unzip just open .
Go to system double click to open
Go to Apps double click to open
Go to ADD and add each apk file .
Or even delete unwanted via delete button.
Close winrar copy zip to sd card and flash .
Above can be carried out with zip on sd card and mass storage usb connection also .

I would like to deodex the odex system. How Can I do that? Help me pls.

I would like to deodex the Codex system. How Can I do that? 232 Stock-based update. I have the Sony Xperia z2.
This is a very compressed and short guide, but hopefully it'll help you to start (it assumes you already have your phone rooted and have recovery installed) :
1ST OF ALL : MAKE NANDROID BACKUP.
you'll need to have JAVA installed on your machine, download and install that.
- on your device, enable "usb debugging" from developer options
- connect your device to PC, click "allow" on device for usb debugging
- have adb.exe on your pc, navigate to that folder and press shift+right click in empty space in the folder, choose "open command window here"
- in the cmd window that shows up type these commands in order :
adb pull /system/app system/app/
adb pull /system/priv-app system/priv-app/
adb pull /system/framework system/framework/
adb pull /system/vendor/app system/vendor/app
adb pull /system/build.prop system/build.prop
this will get you a folder next to your adb.exe file called "system" with all the files inside
- open system/vendor/app folder and copy "ims" and "chrome customizations" to system/app folder
- open system/framework/ folder and copy "SemcGenericUxpRes" to system/app folder
download deodex tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tool-deodex-tool-android-l-t2972025 (if you're not sure if your system is 32 or 64, get the 32 version)
- extract SVADeodexerForArtx32.zip to your c:/ drive
- open SVADeodexerForArt.exe and browse to where your "system" folder is (same folder as adb.exe)
- check app/framework/priv-app in the program options
- click deodex
- once done, create a flashable zip file from the resulting folders (remember to move files from "app" folder back to "framework" and "vendor" folder in the same order, or you'll get FCs)
- have SuperSU and flashable NUT recovery too on sdcard
- flash deodexed zip, then flash SuperSU and NUT recovery files again
- clear cache/dalvik, reboot
This is a rough guide, basically how I do it. if you need further help, post here and I'll try to respond or someone else will help/correct me if I made a mistake.
thanks
i deodexd with SVADeodexerForArtx64.exe
after that
how to create flashble zip
and which folders will i zip?
pls tellme bro
see attached file for creating flashable zip.
you need to copy the deodexed version from the SVADeodexerForArtx64 folder (you'll find app, framework, priv-app folder there) just open the zip with winrar, drag and drop folder, do a replace (don't change any settings).
Remember to move the "SemcGenericUxpRes", "ims" and "chrome customizations" to their respective folders (framework and vendor/app) to avoid FCs
Once you do that, your deodex file is ready to flash, then after that reflash SuperSU and NUTs recovery.
thanks

I'm not sure if this zip will work for Android 6.0 since it's not available to test atm. Let's wait until it's out and see then
To confirm your rom is deodexed, use a file explorer with root acces (es explorer) and navigate to /system/, then do a search for "odex" and you should not find any files.

NUTs dual recovery is what is used on locked bootloader Z2 phones, it has both CWM and TWRP for you to choose from, just google "NUTs dual recovery Z2" or search the forums here for more details.
thank bro......
