The zip file contains folders and files that will be injected to the framework-res.apk. So please make a backup before flashing the zip file. I have not tested it on Lollipop but works on my phone with original Kitkat firmware ANK3. I flashed it using CWM. This would probably work on most Samsung latest devices but not totally sure. You can test it on your device after doing a BACKUP.
HIT the THANKS button if you like my post. Have a good flashing everyone.

Hey guys, keeping the topic's size tiny, any of you can provide me with SGSII's stock calculator APK and the ODEX file? If yes, thanks in advance.
BUMP
Anyone?
You should be able to get the file from any Stock ROM.
Can't you just head over to "/system/app/", copy Calculator.apk and Calculator.odex, zip it and upload here. Since ODIN flashable files cannot be extracted (I believe).
If you take a look at my signature you could see I'm not on Stock ROM, so I can't help you...
But you have several ways to achieve what you want:
1) Get it from Stock ROM: You CAN mount .img and zImage files with a little help from our friend Google.
2) Nandroid your phone, install Stock ROM, get files and restore phone.
3) Wait very patiently for some user that will read this post and has an untouched Stock ROM installed in the phone.
I have CM 10.1.3 installed on my i9100 and I flashed the ZIP file from the thread at the bottom of this post through CWM Recovery. Now, my phone is stuck at the boot screen.
I would realllly hate to reinstall my ROM and all apps, so I'd just like to fix the problem. The ZIP makes changes to the 'SurfaceFlinger' library. Could I reflash a ZIP of the original library? Any idea how I could get the file?
surfaceflinger-fix.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/fix-lag-fix-cm10-based-roms-cm10-t1875490
SOLUTION:
The only file that surfaceflinger-fix.zip affects is libsurfaceflinger.so. So, I tried extracting this file from a copy of the CM 10.1 zip file. libsurfaceflinger.so is located in system/lib. I then created a flashable ZIP using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163974
I flashed the ZIP after pushing it via 'ADB push sample.zip /sdcard'. I installed the ZIP via CWM Recovery. Clear caches, reboot. STILL DIDN"T WORK.
So then I took a look a look in the META-INF folder of surfaceflinger-fix.zip and noticed some additional files that I did not have in my custom 'sample.zip'. So, I just took the libsurfaceflinger.so file that I extracted from CM 10.1 and put this file in surfaceflinger-fix.zip, replacing the original one in the ZIP file. Pushed this ZIP via ADB, everything works.
Had you taken a backup prior to flashing the zip it would've been five minutes work fixing your problem, I'm sure there's a lesson for all of us there.

This was definitely easier and this is a better fix than using a backup, but I absolutely agree with you.
Flashing Issues | Will not pass Android Logo
I have have the T-Mobile version of the S5 and it is currently running XtreStolite rom on lollipop. I have been messing around with the SystemUI and framework apks. (getting them to work every now and again)
However, I was searching around and tried to push the apk files through adb at first, instead of a complete reflash with the modified apks inside, with no luck. Adb says that the files were successfully sent but are not there and no changes are made. I then stumbled across a method using a flashable zip that is supposed to just replace the files I need.
I n doing so, after reboot the phone just sits at the Android Logo on powerup, them I have to reflash or restore my recovery. My question is this: Is there a method that allows me to setup a flashable zip with the system/priv-app/systemui/systemui.apk so that it will only replace those files and not the whole system folder itself?
There may be some more information that I am leaving out, sorry I have not slept all night and I am about to go to class.
Thanks in advance, if I have posted incorrectly, please advise.

Extract and Add whatever directories/folders you want inside the system folder and flash. The script just extracts the system folder as a whole so as long as you make the correct folders, file names, directories etc it'll flash everything to the right spot.
Delete the jar file out of system/framework/ tho since it's a 5.1.1 jar file I did
Much obliged sir, worked perfectly. I'm sure it was the coding. [emoji2]
I. Introduction
Samsung Stock Roms use a special .qmg format for the bootanimation. This makes changing the bootanimation difficult because of less support.
Android uses a binary called bootanimation (/system/bin) to run the bootanimations, and Samsung has tweaked it to load .qmg formates. But we can tweak that binary to load the bootanimation.zip instead of bootanimation.qmg.
NOTE: You must be rooted with TWRP installed.
II. Installation guide
1] Download the proper zip according to your android version
2] Reboot your device to the recovery and install bootanimationzipsupport.zip
3] Install PACM Bootanimation.zip (This is just to test bootanimation)
4] Reboot your device
Now, once you reboot your smartphone, you will see the stock Android Bootanimation:good::fingers-crossed:
Did you get a softbrick?
The zip automatically creates a zip that allows to restore the previous bootanimation binary. Reboot to recovery and install the StockBootanimationRestorer.zip inside the /vr-theme folder in you sd card.
Tested Deiveces
Galaxy A5 2016
(Actually this will work for any device)

Yes, it should work. It will automatically create a backup of the original binary and place it in your SD Card in vrtheme folder so that you can restore it incase of any problem. Also as per my experience it will not cause a bootloop. Just a black screen will appear after bootlogo, and then it will boot.
To be in a safer side take a backup of /system.
BEST OF LUCK:good::fingers-crossed:

Work on jellybean 4.2.2?
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.
