hello everybody

a lot of times I find system modded files and I wanna use them but the developers often offer the file is not flashable so I have to replace the older and set the permissions

but in all times I did that , the system sent an error and was damaged

so I wanna learn how to make a flashable.zip for any system file to be installed to its location and set the permissions

please help me

thanks

Its quite simple. Download a superuser.zip file that is for your device. Extract it. You will find two folders, System and Meta-Inf. Open System folder and you will find a folder called app inside it. Open it and delete the superuser.apk file and copy your modded system file into it.

For eg., Let the file be Gallery2.apk .
Now open META-INF folder -> com -> google -> android. You will find a file called updater-Script. You have to edit that file. There will be a line, where the system mount command is given. Do not do anything until that line. Delete the lines below it and enter these lines.
delete("/system/app/Gallery2.apk");
# [here Gallery2 is the name of the apk file you copied]
package_extract_dir("system","/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");

Now rezip the folders together and you have your own flashable zip to install modded system files.

Hit thanks if this helped! :laugh:
