You are in the wrong path!
Look at
Code:
META-INF\com\google\android
not at
Code:
META-INF\com\android

Oh this is embarrassing
Maybe one last question, as I did a lot of version back and forth and I am not able just to flash the bootloader or/and modem file of 19s, I would like to do a clean install of the recovery.
So if I do factory reset with data and cache and start the instalation this will be complete clean?
Or should I delete some files or folders which are beside the sdcard folder, too?

Lol , I made a factory reset and flashed the modified update.zip and now I lost my baseband. What should I do now, I don't really want to use my backup because of the wrong modem version...

-if your port recovery don´t have like me, copy from base to port
-in your base recovery don´t have, just ignore or checks and set your mount points.
Now You Need To compare default.prop, Just replace these lines From the BASE to the PORT.

[MOD][Template][N960F] *03.10.2018* Custom Splash Screen Changer [Exynos]

Had once a little boredom and made a MOD for the themeing of Custom Splash Screen. Just like S8(+) and S9(+). You can change now pictures without to modify and flash the bootloader (up_param.bin).
Important: The MOD only works with Exynos-9810-based devices!
Important2: Its untested, but works on my s8+ and on s9(+).
[FONT=&quot]Neither I nor XDA is responsible for any damage to your device. You're flashing at your own risk![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Before you start, make a Nandroid (backup) of your system. Safe is safe![/FONT]​

How to Flash
Place the zip on the internal/external memory.
boots into Recovery
then click on "install" in the TWRP
searches for the folder where the zip file was placed
and flashes it by clicking on the zip and dragging the slider to the right at the TWRP
rebooting
How do I change the boot logo in the template?
open the exynos9810_N9_logochanger zip (with WinRar or 7zip) and replace the logo. jpg with another image of your choice
the new image must be renamed to logo. jpg again. Otherwise it won't work!
How to return to the Stock logo?
You don't like the custom logos anymore?
then just flash the zip appropriate for your device:
exynos9810_N9_logochanger_Stock_S9 (for Galaxy Note 9)
Troubleshooting
If your hanging in a bootloop without access to twrp, please reflash the bootloader via odin. TWRP and system boots up again.
Note:
Not all images work, the best results are achieved if you just edit the stock image.

That's how it's supposed to be as long as you don't save the Windows file to an attachable memory device, e.g. a flash drive. This is a special file designed for flashing. You can extract the contents normally. However, I recommend using a ZIP with the contents of 4 files to wipe the phone's partitions.

so how do i find these 4 files you mention,and how do i flash them,is there a guide,with most roms i just download a rom zip and install with twrp,why in this case are there invalid zip messages?,thanks.

this is what i see on unzipping the file on my p

this is what i see when i unzip the file,is it ok as i dont see what to flash with odin!.,there are from what i understnd 4 files i need to flash but i dont see them,can someone explaine why i dont see them?,thanks.
