Manually installing GApps. - Android General

Hi, I have an android device with a custom recovery, I also have the ROM package and I can flash the system directory using the recovery, and I can modify the contents of the ROM package and then flash it, I want to add to this ROM GApps, I've downloaded the GApps package,
It has the folder /system and META-INF that includes the installation script updater-script.sh, The ROM package also have updater-script.sh.
1. Is if it possible to install GApps on to this ROM by copying the contents of updater-script.sh of GApps into the updater-script.sh of the ROM package and copying the contents of /system of GApps to /system of the ROM package?
2. Should I be worried about ROM's META-INT signature files? (CERT.RSA,CERT.SF,MANIFEST.MF)
Thanks.

Hi, I have a device with custom recovery that can update ROM using update files, I got a working update file (zip contains system/ and META-INT/), When I'm unzipping it, add files to it and zip it again then flashing it, I get update failed, I even get update failed when I'm just unzipping and zipping without adding files or touching the content in the zip. Does anyone know why it might happen?
Thanks.

MIUI extended settings

I can't seem to install them properly. Everytime I attempt to I have to use Odin to go back to stock. Anyone know how to fix this?
Here you go
If you experience any trouble with the above try these tips below :-
WORKAROUND if flashing doesn't change anything:
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Manually mount /system and /data from recovery menu
3. Flash the downloaded file
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the zip containing the Mod (overriding MOD's META-INF file)
3. Flash your modified zip.
Straight from the MIUI forum.
MIUI 1.9.30 Extended settings have not been released and probably wont until Friday or whenever the next update is.
Be sure you are rooted and have MIUI installed properly and have booted into MIUI.

Backup.sh

Is there a way to have a backup.sh in system/addon.d that will restore the file after a flash when the system is installing the same file? Say for instance on a personal zip I have it install a a mixer_path to the system and a module to etc., I modified a gapps backup package to keep the two modified files on a dirty flash. The module which was not part of the rom zip will stay with a dirty flash but the mixer_path that is modified from the system zip will get overwritten. I hope this makes sense.

HELP: Paranoid Android 7.3.1 TWRP .zip Install Fail

Hello!
I'm trying to flash my Google Pixel with the latest Paranoid Android 7.3.1. I downloaded the Sailfish Paranoid Android .zip file along with my correct Open GApps .zip file. I already have TWRP installed on my device.
When I try to install The two zip files in TWRP, I get an error. It will not install Paranoid. It says something like "Looking for [a file inside of the zip file]" then "skipped [this file]" and finally "cannot install file [Paranoid file path]".
I'm completely lost on what this means and how to fix it. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
I had the same error message but didn't know what the cause was or how to fix it so I reverted back to stock rom.

[Q] Installing System raw image with flashable .zip

I'm trying to make a flashable zip for TWRP to install a Lenovo Z6 Pro stock ROM. I create the .zip file with Boot, System and Vendor (I'd add the rest of the firmware later). Boot and Vendor are installed but system.img is not installed. I know that I could use .dat files but I'm specially interested on using the image files.
I took as template another ROM which uses .IMG files too with the function 'package_extract_file'. I just replaced the .IMG files making sure that the names are exactly the same, and also I'm sure that my system.img is raw. When I try to install the flashable zip from recovery it prompts the uiprint "Patching system unconditionally" but nothing is installed and skips directly to patch the vendor partitions which is successfully patched.
Any help or clue will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
