[FIX GPS] tested on BAKED Blackbean ROM

hi guys, after a lots of trying I finally fix my gps on BAKED Blackbean ROM.
I explain what I've done.
I put "gps.legend.so" (View attachment gps.legend.so.zip) taken from "cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-legend" into system/lib/hw folder and replace.
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Restart
Probably it works also on zeubea's cm9-10
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. EXTRACT "gps.legend.so" and put into system/lib/hw folder using a file manager (e.g. Root explorer)
I hope you appreciate
sorry for my bad english

please report if it works with your device, thank you

This is recovery flashabel zip, not ftf. You only need to unzip with winzip, winrar, or similar on your computer. After that you can take wathever app you need.

[GUIDE] How to deodex your Z5 roms

Hi Guys ,
Due to many requests and because I don't have the time, the internet connexion and the Health to support all variants, I want to share with you how to make your Deodex for your Z5 !!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO ANY END OF THE WORLD DAMAGE BRICK OR THINGS LIKE THAT ON YOUR DEVICE !!! READ CAREFULLY AND ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST !!!!
So let's get into it!
You will need:
A computer with java and flashtool installed
the SVADEODEXERFORART Tool here
This Zip I made for my deodex with Serajr base
Winrar or 7zip
DiskInternals linux reader program installed (google it)
The Z5 variant FTF
FIRST: Extracting the system folder
-Open your FTF file with Winrar or 7zip and extract the system.sin file.
-Open Flashtool and go to Tools>Sin Editor and browse to the system.sin you extracted earlier. When selected, click Extract data button and wait Flashtool to finish the data extraction. You can close Flashtool after the end.
-Open the system.ext4 file you got after flashtool extraction with DiskInternals linux reader and double clik on the system partition (5.2GB partition).
-Select the App, priv-app, framework and vendor folder and Build.prop file and click save. Click next, set a folder in desktop called system and save the folders and file in this newly created folder (System on your desktop). Close the program after the end.
SECOND: Deodex the folder extracted
-Extract and copy the deodex tool (SVADeodexerForArt) in the system folder on your desktop
-Delete the others folder in vendor folder except the app folder (You will have only vendor/app folder)
-Copy the 3 folder inside the vendor/app and the Semcgeneric folder from framework to the system/app or system/priv-app folder.
-Launch the tool, browse to the system folder and select this folder . After tick the 3 box in the left, clik Execute and let's the tool do some magic.
-A log will normally pop up in the end and if you have no error we can continue.
-If finished without errors, go to the SVADEODEXERFORART folder. You will see the 3 folders with deodexed app. Cut or copy them to another folder, for example Z5 deodex folder
-Create the vendor and vendor/app folder in the new folder with deodexed app in it and cut-paste the 3 deodexed folders you copied earlier from app or priv-app folder to vendor/app folder and do the same for the deodexed Semcgeneric folder to framework
Congratulations you have deodexed your rom
THIRD: Flash the deodex zip
-Take the zip and copy inside the system folder, the folders you deodex earlier
-Go to recovery and flash
You are normally on deodexed rom
You can clean the files if successfull
Sorry for the language mistakes too :fingers-crossed:
If you have some problems check this Youtube Video. It can help you
Special Thanks to:
@serajr for this deodex zip base
@auras76 for this help for the first deodex
@svadev for this awesome tool

I've been using ext2explore to open and extract system.ext4. And I highly recommend to use SuperR Kitchen on Linux to deodex since I got random FC (different apps in different time to deodex) with any apps when I do deodex on Windows.

2 folders? The first time I heard that...

Copy them and continue ! Be sure to make a TWRP backup before testing...

SvaDeodexerForArt did not work for me, always failed at boot.oat. But using Superrs-Kitchen on Manjaro Linux, I could do it easily. Very clear instructions all through the process.
I created the .253 deodex and flashed it. No issues so far.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
Please follow the steps in the link.
I don't use Ubuntu. The steps are shown using Mint 18. You can get system.ext4 and kernel.elf using flashtool.

It's seem you didn't zipaligning apk file before make flashable ROM zip ? And you need a sample deodex.zip file to make final z5 deodexed zip , right ?
And there is an error while zipaligning apk file. here is the log file.

There is a 224 Deodex zip, in the forum. You can use that. No, I did not zip align them.
