Hey together.
(at first: I do not want use a finished custom rom. I am happy as my Rome is now running)
I Would like to deodex my JB Stock Rom to coustomize my self with Mods and other but for almost everything i used a deodexed Rom. I tried xUltima and the Android Kitchen, v0.223 by dsixda and both doesn't work.
On the Android Kitchen, v0.223 by dsixda i can't find my TWRP Backup and i don't know how i convert it or somthig else.
On xUltima i become instantly an Error. When i delete the odex file which caused the error i become instantly a another error.
Here is a Picture from xUltima:

i have no idee how i fix this.
no one an idea?
Make a imitation ROM:
Create a dump.
Download Rhythm Manager's version of file manager.
Now go to / (self explanatory) and copy system.
It'll take a while, but copy it to sdcard.
Now copy the file onto computer. Find a ROM and copy the META_INF.
Make a empty boot.img.
Put the boot.img, system, and meta_inf into a zip folder. THis would be your ROM.
You can take it from there.

1) Yes. Any ROM is okay. Just get it from an actual ROM.
2) Step 1: unhide extension by going explorer.exe --> organize --> Folder and search options --> view --> uncheck Hide extension ... --> click apply to folders--> Apply. Now simply make a .txt file on desktop and rename the extension as img, and the file name make it boot.

Hello everyone..
In my tutorial here, I want to show newbies how to create their own flashable zip file to flash by recovery mode (CWM)...
Now installing your mods become easier and faster
Needed tools for newbies:
1) Download your desired template:
Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip
Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip
more details is down there!!
2) WinRAR or 7-zip program installed in your computer.
3) Auto-ZIP-Signer patch in case your kernel needs it
4) Cup of hot tea!!!
Which template should I use?
It depends on kernel you are using whether it supports auto permission fix or not (most of custom kernels support this feature)..
To know if you are using kernel with auto permission fix or not, boot into recovery mode and check if you have fix permissions option or not (usually under advance). If your kernel has fix permissions option, then use Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip otherwise, use Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip.
What will happen if you use wrong template?
If your kernel supports auto permission fix feature and you used Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip, nothing will go wrong (so don't worry!!) but the flashing process will take unnecessary longer time for fixing permissions!!.
If your kernel doesn't support auto permission fix feature and you used Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip, then you might need to fix permissions of the flashed mod manually or to add extra permissions line in updater-script (not advised for newbies)
How is it working?
Open the template zip file by WinRAR or 7-zip (don't extract!! Just open)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now what you need to do is just to drag & drop your modded file into its corresponding destination inside the zip file.
Copy your finished zip file to your external SD card.
Boot into recovery mode and flash your file... Now you can treat yourself the cup of tea.. you deserve it
Extra step:
If you are using stock kernel that needs varification key from flashable zip file, then you need to use Auto-ZIP-Signer to sign your finished zip file.
First copy your finished zip file from previous step and open ZIP Auto-Signer folder (download from above).
Now paste your zip file in "put-zip-to-sign-here" folder and run the script patch.
Now go to "Finished" folder and copy "Signed.zip" into your external SD card.
Boot into recovery mode and flash your signed file
Simple and noob proof tutorial, I hope it will help you all new xda members

I would love to know how to open the rest of those files in there the ones that look like this: 0c23d38d2f2b445afa92ff0cf9388a76 there are usually dozens of them obviously on a PC but anyone know how to open them? this is the closest I found while searching and this thread is all I could find :?
Hello Guys,
@android.zealot.fervor wanted me to post this guide so why not
There is already a guide by Panda00 but that one is a bit outdated...
Requirments:
- A Windows PC
- Zip opener (7zip,winrar,winzip)
- Dsixda's kitchen and cygwin
- sgs2ext4.jar
- linux reader
- A Brain and hands
So let's begin:
Step 1)
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile samsung-updates search for yourself and open the file with 7zip inside the file you will find a md5 file open that with 7zip it should give you a error ignore that! Take out the system.img and open up sgs2ext4.jar and drop the system.img into there now after some time the system.img.ext4 will be placed onto your desktop!
Step 2)
- Open up Linux Reader and mount the system.img.ext4 drive open it up and take out only the app and framework folder save them to your desktop!
Step 3)
- Now make a WORKING_DEODEX folder name it exact as i say you and make inside that folder a system folder! drop the app&framework folder in the system folder and copy WORKING_DEODEX to C:/kitchen or where ever you have kitchen on your PC!
Step 4)
- Open up kitchen with cygwin by typing in the following:
cd C:/kitchen and hit Enter! (I take the C drive as example but your drive letter could be diffrent!!!)
sh menu Hit Enter again!
Now it should load up kitchen if not do not ask me!
go in kitchen to advanced options by typing in 0 and after that go to 11 now select the correct api version it should be 17!
Now type in b for deodexing both folders! let kitchen do his work here this can take up to 20min!!!
Step 5)
When kitchen is done go back to your C:/kitchen drive and take out the system folder of the WORKING_DEODEX and drop it onto your desktop!
What you need to do now is download the zip file from the attachments and drop the system folder in it!
Step 6)
Copy the zip to your device and flash enjoy your deodexed phone!

Panda00 for his zip file
CoolDevelopment for his CWM
Some things you need to know:
1) secemail_j will not deodex!!!
2) you must be on the firmware you are deodexing!
3) Install custom recovery for flashing

Create A Flashable ROM From Your Nandroid Backup
►►Requirements◄◄
An OS (Linux/Windows)
Your CWM Or TWRP Backup
7zip On Windows
Archive Manager On Linux (Preferably Download p7zip)
► ► Get Started ◄ ◄
FOR CWM#1. Transfer the CWM backup from Phone to PC.
#2. Extract system.ext4.tar file with any of the archive apps like Winrar or 7zip, you will get the system folder of your device containing all the files.
#3. Gather the boot.img from the CWM backup.
#4. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
#5. Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
#6. That’s it, your flashable Zip is now ready and you can flash it using any custom recovery.
For TWRP Backup#1. Transfer the TWRP backup from Phone to PC.
#2. You’ll see a file named system.ext4.win which is the System partition backup of your device. Rename it to system.ext4.tar (Changing its extension from .win to .tar)
#3. Extract the system.ext4.tar using an archive software like Winrar or 7zip.
#4. If your TWRP backup is not in compression mode, you will directly get the system folder, else you will get a file named system.ext4, which should be renamed again to system.ext4.tar and extract it to get the system folder.
#5. Take the boot.emmc.win file and rename it to boot.img.
Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
#6. Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
►►Some Important Notes◄◄
#1. On Linux If You Are Confused To See .tar.a files, don't worry rename it to .tar and then they will work on linux.
#2. Windows Users Should Use 7 ZIP, They Can Download It From Here :- http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
#3. Use Meta INF Preferably From CM Zip. (Just Incase)
#4. Your Final Folder Should Look Like This Before You ZIP It!

Special Thanks to Droid Views And Developers For Giving Light!
Weak Intro :
Well, I find few people who're curious to change their TWRP splash screen and even the themes. Don't know how to do this weird stuff? You're at the right place! . I know few of them might be bored with staring at the same splash screen for a long time. How about trying something crazy? :silly:.
Prerequisites:
1. Knowledge of how to repack/unpack img. If you don't know how to do this, Just follow this thread by @osm0sis: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
2. A TWRP recovery image for our device which can be found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x3/
3. A splash screen image(format in PNG) of your choice.
4. Notepad++ for XML editing. You can get it from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.2.html
5. PATIENCE! :silly:
Procedure:
Ok now that you're happy with the prerequisites, Let's start being crazy!
I assume that you know how to use the Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis and thereby I'll proceed without any AIK instructions.
Let's start!
1. Extract the TWRP image you wish using the AIK. To do this, Just drag the TWRP image file onto unpackimg.bat file
2. Now you'll find 2 folders.
-> ramdisk
-> spllit_img
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Leave the "split_img" folder aside.(We don't need anything to do with it) and open the "ramdisk" folder.
4. Open the "twres" folder and then right-click on the "splash.xml" file. Then choose Edit with Notepadd++ in the context menu.
5. Scroll down till you find the page XML tag.
6. Now, delete the lines as shown below.
7. Add this line shown below
8. All done! Now you need to get your PNG image of resolution 1920 x 1080(height x width) of your choice.
9. Go to this directory: ramdisk/twres/images. You'll find a file "splashlogo.png". Just Overwrite it with your PNG image and you're done!
10. Finally, you need to pack the modified stuff to make TWRP image. To do this, head onto the AIK folder and then click repackimg.bat. You'll find a a new file in the same folder called "image-new.img". This file is your modified TWRP img. Just flash it and you're good to go.
