I feel like I should know the answer to this by now, but I'm not having a lot of luck figuring it out on my own.
I'm running XtreStoLite 1.3.7 with the deodexed mods on a Canadian W8 device. The ROM comes with a modified 900F kernel (which is what I am using). Unfortunately, neither IR nor Wifi Direct are working, notwithstanding the suggestions of the very capable @edgarf28.
My thought is to go back to the true stock W8 kernel. Question 1: Am I able to use the stock W8 kernel on a ROM built from 900F sources? Question 2: How do I extract the kernel package from the flashable zip on the stickey?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
please give me a helping hand as I want to flash some mods to my i9500. I am on XWUBMG7 with CSC: OLB (Thailand).
I want to keep stock ROM to debloat it myself and apply some changes.
Kernel should stay untouched.
So, my idea is to root the phone with this method of pre-rooted multifiles: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317105
After that, flash TWRP and install 3Minit framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283684
The 3Minit framework requires a deodexed ROM, thats why I can't easily root with CF auto root.
But at the moment, the pre-rooted files from the link above are not available in my XWUBMG7 (which I dont want to change at the moment as I might run into problems with not matching CSC).
If I root with CF Auto root, my ROM is still odexed.
I found a method to deodex your own ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213235
But I am not sure if this is sufficient. I can't see if the ROM will be zip-aligned as well (besides that I don't know if it is beyond my skills), which I want it to be performance-wise.
So, any idea how I can achieve a deodexed XWUBMG7 in Odin-flashable format for the i9500?
It seems that the pre-rooted files would be the easiest way for me to reach my goal as I can keep everything and only have to Odin-flash the ROM as PDA and am done.
Thanks in advance for your advices.
Kind regards
Dirk

While I understand your point....isn't it easier to flash a deodexed zipaligned prerooted rom with stock theme?? There are so many roms now.....
In general you are right. I studied them and found that the ROM-cookers removed some features that I want. Besides that the description of them ROMs is sometimes insufficient for just trying. TW and stock ROM is fine for me.
Example: Wanam lite is actually fine. But the app to customize doesn't have the features I want (e.g. disable icon of blocking mode in the status bar). Omega rom removed the nfc payment, which I like to maintain. ...
All roms have their good and bad aspects. For me, I want to stay with stock.
currently i am using franco kernel with stock rom and i want to flash back to stock rom and kernel. However, i cannot find the flashable 4.4.2 stock kernel! Can somebody can give me the link so i can flash it back to stock kernel
Beside franco kernel, any other kernel will support touch control in 4.4.2 with stock rom ?
Thats why if i want to flash other kernel, i have to go back stock kernel first, anyone can give me the link
Thank you so much ! :laugh:
Hey,
is there a deodexed Samsung Stock OF2 ROM? All I can find are modded Roms like Imperium but I dont need all the S5, S6 Stuff and other "Tweaks" no one knows if they are really usefull. I already tried to deodex the rom myself with this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/gt-i9505-lollipopofficial-root-knox-0x0-t3135533 but it ended up in a bootloop twice.

Imperium rom is the best,
It just has kernel,
and if you don't like it, you can uninstall it,
and with aroma installer, you can choose S4 stock stuffs to be installed, without any other mods,
If you only want a stock rom that is deodexed then I don't know if any exists here on the forum.
Hey guys, i searched for a flashable zip of a stock ROM but couldn't find any. Is there any and maybe could stock ROM be flashable through mobile odin? I've never used mobile odin so i don't know. Also, unrelated Q, is there any ROMs that support fingerprint scan? I mean ROMs in Android development section, the stock based roms. And if yes, are there any 5.1.1 based stock roms that do?
Hi all. I am struggling to find a stock 'samsung' kernel for base XXUHOD7. Im using GoldenEye v53 (HOD7) and would much rather prefer the stock kernel. Can't find it, anyone able to help?
