take a rom, open it with winrar or any extractor and take /system/fonts out of the zip..
(if you need sense fonts, use a flashable zip sense rom, otherwise AOSP)
AOSP fonts do also work on sense, the names are the same
root your phone..
then set up adb , some good guides here on the board..
connect phone with usb, no sdcard mounting
now:
Code:
adb remount
adb push yourfont.ttf /system/fonts
(repeat as long as you have ttf files: might work if you use *.ttf)
adb reboot
if you don't want to root, i don't know how to do it
EDIT: hope you are already rooted because with no fonts, how would you root your phone,
or install the necessairy files.. didn't notice it yet
grtz

that was not possible
i had to downlaod last rom at http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all , install it back to 1.5, then upgrade all the way OTA till latest version for it (a.k.a 2.1) , now back to normal
unfortunately had todo it via windows

you can setup adb in windows..

He used the RUU
@Bashar, if you root it again and want to experiment. Make sure you got a custom recovery. Easier to solve mess I guess You can create back-ups of your normal ROM in it as well. Anyway, glad it is back to normal.

[TELUS T959D FASCINATE][NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED-last updated 04.29.13]One Stop Shop

Hi and welcome Telus Fascinate T959D Users.
The purpose of this thread was to join a few T959D users together. When I flash a ROM I usually have at least 6 posts open on XDA - on different methods, kernels, etc. So I started collecting information and organizing it here. I have been updating based on feedback and adding more and different content especially when more users found us here.
Special thanks to everyone who has helped with this thread over the past few years - and special call outs to @Matt5606, @iwebsource, @finneginsfast, @moosehead11, @Dayfid, @karmatose, @bucknetbucky.
However, please note that we the contributors take no responsibilities for your phone or anything you do to it - this is simply a collection of helpful posts to get you started and continue having conversations - they are by no means offered as full proof guides, nor do they imply a warranty of any sort.
Now on the fun stuff, but first a simple FAQ.
Q. What is the T959D and what ROMs can I use on it?
The T959D is Telus' Galaxy S phone - known as a fascinate. What is confusing is this phone has almost nothing in common with the Verizon Fascinate - in fact flashing a fascinate ROM will brick your phone. Fortunately for us, our phone is VERY close to the International Version - the i9000 or galaxysmtd. Those are the ROMs we use on this phone.
Q. Is there a place where I can get files for my phone?
Yes - all through XDA you can use i9000 compatible ROMs, Kernels, modems. As well, we have a stock pile of files available to you - as you read the OPs you will find those and how to get them.
Q. Can I brick my phone?
Yes - but from my personal experience it is very hard to do this, and you can always get a USB jig that gets you to download mode (if you are soft bricked) - load one of the stock images and you are right as rain again.
A USB jig is a small piece of modded hardware that plugs into your USB port on your phone and forces it into download mode on start up - EVEN if it is SOFT BRICKED. A necessity for flashing. Lots of 'how tos' on how to create them out there if you have a spare cord, or just order one on EBay
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=usb+jig
For me, the place to use the most caution is using Odin - when placing files into the fields ensure they in the right place (measure twice, flash once ) as that is the biggest risk to flashing your phone. I think this is the greatest risk to hard bricking your phone which I am not sure you can recover from (I have only ever soft bricked my phone in which the USB jig saved my hide).
Q. I put on an ICS/JB ROM and now my IMEI is gone? What is that and how do I get it back?
Your IMEI is the unique identifier on your phone. The number is written down behind your battery - and that is what your phone should be displaying when you go to About Phone in Settings. Something happened with ICS/JB that it sometimes gets lost. To prevent that you need to back up your EFS folder.
1. You must be rooted.
2. You must have a file explorer that has root access (root explorer or ES File Explorer - although, if using ES ensure you have enabled root access and mounted /system in the preferences.
3. Find your /EFS/ folder at root (/).
4. Copy the EFS folder. Ensure you have ALL the files and ALL the subfolders (one will your IMEI). However, there can be hidden files in here, I would not worry so much about those, simply ensure you copy over the EFS folder itself - that should do it.
5. Move this to your removable SD card. Zip it, keep it on your PC, put in dropbox, ensure you have a copy for safe keeping.
And that is it - after flashing a new ROM, if you are missing your EFS or your IMEI number if wrong, just copy back the folder, reboot, and voila!
Q. GPS sucks.
Yes, yes it does. Do a search if you are adventurous there are hardware fixes. There's also faster fix in the play store and there are files here you can load as well - but its a known issue with the Galaxy S family of phones.
Q. What should I run on my phone?
Well, that is entirely up to you. The last official firmware you can get is 2.3.3. If you like very stable and do not need to have the latest, just a stable working phone with great battery - maybe try a good gingerbread ROM like Darky's or CM7.0 - Darky's will give you that Samsung feel (and still have the right firmware for the camera).
There are literally tons of options - go to the i9000 thread and see what the latest is. Most users here in this thread are on SlimICS, SlimBeam, CM10 or CM10.1. I have been running latest (nightlies) CM10.1 for some time combined with my favourite kernel Semaphore.
If you are going to flash a new JB ROM though, I suggest as your first flash stable CM 10.0 - this will be the base of your next ROM and many ROMs such as slim recommend you flash CM first just to set things up for yourself.
Q. So what now?
Read, read, and read. Go through this thread - go through threads of the ROMs you want to install - see what users are saying about it lately. And please - come to this thread and ask questions - we have a small but friendly and very helpful community - and remember if we help you, stay active on the thread so you can help someone else.
Cheers - and happy flashing

ICS/JB ROMS from Scratch (updated May 31 2013)
THANKS to @karmatose and @Dayfid for creating an ODIN flashable 2.3.3 - this means no more KIES (yes!) and creating a fresh stock ROM - here's the steps for this procedure... (Updated September 26, 2012)
Please note that the links below provided by Karma http://t959d.karmatose.org will work BUT you will need a username and password to download the files. Karma or myself can make the login and password available to you.
1. Download the KG2 package from here - http://t959d.karmatose.org/index.php/apps/files/download/Shared/stock_roms/T959TLKG2_Gingerbread.zip
2. Extract the archive to a folder on your PC using your archive app of choice. Mine is WinRAR.
3. Open Odin3 v1.7.exe (the one that is in the ZIP file)
4. Place the PDA, CSC and PHONE and PIT files in the proper boxes. Take absolute care to make sure you don't mix them up. Ensure that repartition is ticked 'on' in this case.
5. Put phone in download mode (vol down + power from off or download jig) and connect it to the PC
6. Click start and wait just under 3 minutes. The phone will restart and you should be back to stock 2.3.3
7. If your intention was to get to stock, you're done. If you want to go to ICS/JB and you *don't* have a backup of your EFS folder, go to step 8. If you do have a backup of your EFS folder, go to step 10.
8A. If you need to backup your EFS folder (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), you need to root the phone. Flash the Speedmod kernel with ODIN (in the PDA field). The phone will reboot and get stuck in a boot loop at this point. Pull and replace the battery and place the phone in Recovery Mode by holding VOL+ and VOL- and pressing the power button. When the screen lights up, release the power button and continue to hold the volume rocker until you see CWM Recovery. Using the Vol+ and Vol- to navigate the menu, go to the Speedmod Advanced Options menu and press the power button to select it. Choose to root your phone.
8B. (Optional) Now that you have custom recovery, would not be a bad idea to make a nandroid backup of your phone. So go to backups, and create backup from the CWM Menu.
8C. Once that is complete, go back to the root menu and reboot the phone. Pull the battery out and put the phone back into download mode. Flash the stock 2.3.3 kernel back (also in the PDA field) in Odin. The phone should now be rooted. Let it boot. Hopefully you're greeted with a lock screen
9. Install ES Explorer from play (or APK), enable Root Settings in the settings menu then navigate up to root and copy your EFS folder to your EXTERNAL_SD card. Power down the phone, remove the SD card and copy this to your PC, Google Drive and some other backup source. Don't lose this folder.
10. Installing ICS / JB - Depending on what OS you want to go to, you're going to need to grab an appropriate kernel to do so. The best option seems to be Semaphore's i9000 kernels. If you're going to flash an ICS rom, grab the 1.3.0s .tar file. If you're going to JB, grab the 2.1.0s .tar file.
11. Download your ROM of choice. i9000 versions of SlimICS/SlimBean/CM9/CM10 work on the T959D. You will also need grab the .zip version of the Semaphore kernel (ICS / JB) you're using and a Modem of your choosing. KG3 works best for me, your mileage may vary. Place the ROM, .zip version of the Semaphore kernel you're using and the ES File Explorer APK on your internal SD card.
12. Open Odin again. Put the .tar'd Semaphore kernel file you just downloaded in the PDA field, ensure Re-Partition is UNCHECKED. Put your phone in download mode, connect it to the PC and click start. In a bit more than 10 seconds, your phone should reboot itself. Pull the battery out and replace it.
13. Put the phone in Recovery Mode by holding VOL+ and VOL- and pressing the power button. Release the power button as soon as the screen turns on but keep holding VOL+ and VOL- until CWM appears. Use the VOL+/- keys to navigate, PWR button to select. Go to "Install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard".
14. Follow the directions to install your ROM. CM9/10 comes in one flashable .zip file whereas SlimICS/SlimBean comes in multiple files. Consult the documentation for your ROM to get specifics on how to install it. Note that if you are installing CM10, CM10.1, Slim 3.x + that the partition layout has changed. This means you will need to flash the ROM at least 3 times - once you will get an error 7, then flash again, and then again - after that you will have latest.
15. Once the ROM is done flashing, flash the Kernel .zip you placed on your External SD card the same way you flashed the ROMs. Then flash your modem .zip. Note that if you are using an 's' version of semaphore, and a non-patched ROM like CM (Slim is already patched) you will want to flash the big mem library patch which is attached below after flashing the kernel.
16. Go back to the CWM main menu and reboot the phone. You should boot into ICS / JB at this point with no issue. It might take a bit so be patient.
17. Verify your IMEI number. Hit the Menu button on your phone and select System Settings > About Phone > Status. Look at your IMEI. If there's a lot of 0's in it, you need to replace your EFS folder. Use Oi Explorer to access your External SD card and install the ES File Explorer APK. Enable *all* the Root options in the application settings and return to the file browser. Locate your EFS folder backup on your external SD (emmc), longpress on the folder and select "Copy To". Hit the navigate up button in the dialog box and select /. Press OK twice then reboot your phone. Your IMEI should be back to normal now.
18. Enjoy the fruits of your labour and customize the heck out of your new ICS / JB rom.
----
This is an alternate method from @bucknetbucky created this quick 'how to'. This will put you on stock GB and allow you to flash ICS from there.
Why start from GB? The bootloaders. When flashing from froyo you'll see lots of tips on pulling batteries and the first flash always not working - this won't happen from Gingerbread AND you'll get to keep the logo for the kernel for some added bling.
For those looking to flash from GB here is how to do it...
Get back to 2.3.3 stock
1 flash stock froyo via ODIN (tick repartition! - See the 'Essential Files' section above).
2 install samsung kies (should have this if you have this device- AND update it!)
3 update to GB using kies
Root your phone and back up EFS
Backing up EFS is vital. Essentially do this.
4. Download Super1click to root your phone and following the instructions (http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t)
5 Install a file manager with root access and backup your efs folder by copying it to the internal sdcard then your computer (instructions in OP)
Note: this is one way to root your stock GB phone - you can also use the speedmod kernel (the version I use is older --- but works --- and is attached below) which has a root option under 'advanced' but has more steps. If you already have backed up your EFS though, you really do NOT need to do this step and skip to the steps below to flash your ICS ROM.
Finally INSTALL your ICS ROM
Now to flash the latest super duper ROMs from the super duper devs you will need to do the following...
1 copy glitch v14 kernel and the rom of your choice to your internal sdcard (The version linked below is the BEST version to accomplish this with)
http://www.box.com/s/tov06pvzkkqbmui6tcmi
2 flash via ODIN the speedmod kernel (gives you a custom recovery)
3 when it tries to boot pull the battery and then boot to recovery
4 flash the glitch kernel from recovery (again you are boot looping)
5 pull the battery and boot to glitch recovery and wipe data, clear cache and such then flash your ROM
6 copy your backed up EFS folder back to the phone to restore yout imei
Just some notes
Most ROMs will come with a compatible modem, however, if having modem issues - please see a few posts down on getting modems.
A complete list of ROMs for the I9000 by Android version can be found here (as well as kernels). Please note the update dates as that will indicate how much active support there is for the ROM.

Gingerbread ROMs (Updated 03/11/2012)
In terms of loading GB ROMs I have had success with a few - namely Darky ROM (up to 10.4.2).
Credit to the original poster, but I always start with this how to on loading a ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
I do not execute every step, but essentially use it to get to stock along with the custom voodoo kernel which will give you root and custom recovery to load your custom ROM.

ROM and Kernel TWEAKS (Updated 08/28/2012)
GPS Tweak
This how to can you help you tweak GPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413
Note the multiple GPS.conf entries you can have for country (Canada) as well as region (North America).
Darky ROM tweak
When installing Darky ROM you will find the buttons for home and back no longer work. There is a simple fix for this as long as you have a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and a text editor.
Open up /system/usr/keylayout/melfas_touchkey.kl in a text editor.
Make sure that your 'keys' look like this:
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 105 HOME
key 106 SEARCH
Keep VIRTUAL as part of the keys and you will still have vibration as well.
Alternatively (Thanks @finneginsfast !) you can flash 'keylayout.zip' attached below from recovery.

Flashables (Updated June 29 2013))
This is reserved for flashables such as modems and kernels.
Ultimate Kernel Cleaner
Before flashing a kernel, you should run a kernel cleaning script. Matt (THANKS @Matt5606) gave me this one - it handles cache cleaning, etc. See the attached file for ultimate kernel cleaning script.
Modems
Lots of modems out there, and get Perka's file store for a ready list (see recommended apps). My favourite for a long while has been the i9000UGKC1 modem - it has GB versions as well as ICS - just make sure you get the right one!
You can also download modems diredctly from Perkas Site (/Samsung/ICS_CM_Modems/850_Modems_CM) or the android app (available in Play). Ensure you get the right modems for your ROM or Android version.
For Gingerbread: /Samsung/I9000/Modem_850_Enabled
For ICS and JellyBean: /Samsung/ICS_CM_Modems/850_Modems_CM
@finneginsfast provided me with this graphical link to help give you an idea of what modems work where: http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-location-map.html
Gingerbread Kernels
Semaphore. Great kernel to run with DarkyROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
Glitch Kernel. Great kernel to run with CM7 or MIUI GB as its made for our model!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315400
ICS Kernels
I run Semaphore almost exclusively - definitely a favourite.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Glitch has a specialized kernel for ICS as well, but I typically do not use it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459475
JellyBean Kernels
Semaphore has a JellyBean kernel for 4.1.2 as well as 4.2.2 - its my go to kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220
Be sure to get the LMK app from XDA (search it) to ensure your launcher and keyboard do not die, and get Semaphore manager from the Play Store as well.

Essential Files
Before we get started wanted to make available some essential files. These are from my public dropbox folder, so I may switch it in time, but felt they should be here.
Need to get back to stock, then here is the Stock Telus Froyo 2.2. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2069701/T959TLJL3.zip
Want stock with a CWM kernel on 2.2, then here is the VooDoo Kernel http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2069701/voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar
Remember when flashing back to stock to tick the re-partition box, and place the files as follows:
- s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"
- T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"
- T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"
- SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"
Additionally, Karma has some core files he is posting as well (Thanks @karmatose !!!) and you can find those files at:
http://t959d.karmatose.org
To access the files, you will need a login. @karmatose or myself can make the login and password available to you.
Starting Fresh
Buck provided this a while back. This is recommended after many flashes and you want to start out fresh without lingering script files and other crap we're all guilty of installing/flashing
WARNING: This clears up EVERYTHING - even TB backuped programs - so if you want your TB backups, change your backup location to the REMOVABLE SD Card.
If you want to start fresh and i mean bare bones this is how i do it.
1. Remove the external sd card (the one you put in the phone)
2. Go into storage under settings and unmount then format the sd card (the partition the phone makes that you see if you do not have root)
3. Flash stock rom via odin and repartition ofcourse.
4. When you are done the phone will be like you just took it out of the box.
5. Backup the card you took out and format that. Leave it out.
6. Grab some beers and start flashing whatever you want (except the neighbors they dont like that)

Do I have to root my phone after installing GB . Or I can wait
And witch app is the better to backup the EFS folder

You need to root to back up your EFS... so for that. Then use root explorer or ES to copy that folder over to your SD and computer.
If you ES make sure turn on root explorer and mount /system.

there is no root option in the recovery mode after i put the speedmodkernel

I've been lookin at that procedure and you root through recovery with the speed mod kernel? I'm pretty sure you can root while on stock GB without all that hassle by just using SuperOneClick.

If you remembered to copy your efs folder before the flash, just copy the original folder back into your phone replacing the old files and reboot. You should have your number back.

ics ON TAB

Hi
Can anyone help with upgrading my P1000 to ICS?
I have read it can be done via flash and sd card but I am far from confident doing that.
I am happy using Odin and have upgraded to gingerbread ok.
Can anyone tell me is it now possible to install ICS easily just using Odin?
Any help would be fantastic

Go the Dev section.
Look through the ICS threads.
They are mostly available as zip files to flash using Clockworkmod recovery (CWM).
CWM is available as part of most non-stock ROMs - i.e., Overcome, Hyperdroid, etc.
Some features don't work, like camera and lockscreen. The Devs are doing great work, but it's not complete yet.
Good luck.

Hello I am using right now the last ICS ROM posted in vthe forum. Is fantastic and the people here is mking a great work. All you can imagine is working pretty well. I had tried anothers, like for example for my galaxy note but none is working as good as the one I am referring to. You can have a real experience of ICS in the Galaxy Tab through this ROM, smooth, fast and expect more as it is a workjg in process ROM. I advise you to try it. BTW I have set the dpi to 120 for me is the best one.
Regards. Sorry for the mistyping.

I have been able to upgrade my 2.3.3 to 4.0.3 without any problems.
I first read the Overcome Guide as it was very helpful in learning how to do this. Then I obtained a copy of the gb5 rom as it has the ClockworkMod for the tab included.
I installed the GB5 rom using Odin 3.17 using the files included in the GB5 file. Rebooted and then downloaded the Humberos ICS files. (There are three files from Humberos.) Copy the Humberos files into the internal SD. Reboot into receovery and found the menu changed where you can flash any rom you want.
I flashed the rom + kernel and then the Google apps file.
The results are:
Model number: GT-P1000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 SGT7-ICS-TE4M #20120307
CyanogenMod: 9.0.0-RC0-GalaxyTab-HumberOS
Build Date: Qua Mar 7 01:17:36 BRT 2012
Build Nunber CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307
Everything on my tab is working great. I find new features such as panoramic photos great, the network and bluetooth work flawlessly, both cameras are working (front one is glitchy but back one ok).
I am very happy to have upgraded but took about one month to make sure I read about the process first and obtained the necessary files.

@Repoman: Both cameras work for you? With stock camera app?

c. P1000.zip Kernal files
2. You will need to extract files from CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307.zip and p1000.zip into a separate folder. Rename the folder to CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307 and another folder name KERNEL. After extract from both, choose zImage filename from folder p1000 copy files and paste into CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307 [extracted files] folder. Doing this will only replace the zImage filename into newer one.
3. Copy all the 3 important files into your External SD card.
4. Run the CWM Recovery Mode [pwr button + volume up]
5. Choose to install your files from SD CARD
6. Follow these steps
How to install
1. Copy all files (ROM+Kernel+GApps) to sdcard
2. Recovery Mode
3. Install ROM (don't restart)
4. For All Models - Install Kernel (don't needs bluetooth fix - don't restart yet)
5. Install GApps (after install, restart)
Finish! Now you should be having your P1000 tab running on Cyanogenmod9 a.k.a Humber OS [ Ice cream Sandwich 4.0] [rooted]
OR
Other methods of flashing your ROM
1. you must have rom with ext4 support before flashing with ics cm9, ie: overcome,
2. go to cwm,wipe user datat, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
3. pick install from sdcard, locate where you put cm9 rom file
4. after flashing rom, do not reboot, you must flashing the kernel, then install gapps,reboot
p/s: forgive me for my bad english. This guide I made it myself based on my research at google, xda-developer, Humber OS, all the files need to be download you can find it at the website given. Just dont forget to add www at front of the link. I repeat again I will not be responsible for any damage happen to your tab. Make sure you follow the steps carefully as it may brick your tab. Make sure you already have backup every important documents before using this tutorial guide. IMPORTANT!! make sure the backup files is NOT in your SD Card/Phone.

Thank you for the replies.
I am not confident flashing from sd card.
Will it be possible just using Odin?
I am happy using that and successfully upgrafed to gingerbread and root with it.
If not guess will stick with what I have as just too iffy for me to do other.

You will be missing out a lot.
For many years we have been flashing roms and radios and kernels using recovery.
I first use AmonRa recovery in my HTC Magic to backup and flash roms from sdcard, never once connecting the phone to my pc during those 3yrs.
Same with my Gtab. Only when I restock to Overcome ROM I use Odin.
Try to step out of your comfort zone.
Theoretically you can't brick your tab by flashing rom, unless you flash a bad bootloader.

This actually is easier than using Odin. Besides, the ICS images seem to come in this form at the moment. You can even flash a kernel this way. The only drawback is that this is only possible with a an enhanced recovery mode that will install any Zip from any location, so you need Odin the first time to flash a kernel with it included. After that you put the files on the phone or on the SD card, boot to Recovery mode, and install the Zip.

install twrp recovery from device .is it possible? i dont have a windows pc.

can anyone advise? i want to install a custom rom and root my tf300t

Yes you can do that, all you need is a "terminal emulator" app, there are plenty available just search for them. Depending on the custom ROM some already provide updated gapps so be sure to use the right one and not just the one given in tools like goomanager.
I would recommend the following.
1. Backup your apps + data using Titanium Backup
2. Boot into recovery and create a backup of your system
3. Wipe cache/davlik/data + system
4. be aware of the right "flashing order" FIRST the ROM file, then add more zips and choose gapps
5. enjoy your custom ROM

Something tells me he hasnt rooted yet. If im not mistaken, he can't use a terminal app with the dd command if he isnt rooted. I know you can root using adb though with debugging enabled but im not sure he can root without a pc.
Here is a good place for him to start :

Thanks for the correction, assumed he's already rooted sorry.

[GUIDE] Get Xposed working on your deodexed TouchWiz based Lollipop ROM! 2015/08/17

DISCLAIMER
The process of flashing a custom recovery/kernel/firmware may and will trigger your device's Knox Counter. Neither XDA nor I can be held responsible for your actions. Proceed with caution. During this process you will lose all your settings and apps. As long as you follow the instructions, your device's storage, internal and external, won't be touched​
Still not compatible with x64 systems! Not compatible with Samsung 5.1.x (sdk22) ROMs!
Hello, Ladies and Gentleman
Many people seem to have a hard time to understand how all of this here on XDA works. I constantly get PM's from users, asking how to do the most basic stuff like flashing a .zip or stock firmware via Odin. Usually, I don't even read them and just hit delete. I know it's not ok to deny people help, so I decided to show you how you can get Xposed working on your TW based stock or custom ROM since it's the most frequently asked question I get.
It's nothing you couldn't do if you'd just....
We're going to use @arter97's customized Xposed Framework as the one made by @darkera13 needs the user to manually modify and replace files which may be too complicated for some.
Preparation
-READ EVERYTHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
-A custom recovery System like TWRP or CWM (PhilZ or Stock)
-A deodexed ROM. It's the only way to go. YOU NEED A DEODEXED ROM. If your ROM is not deodexed and you flash the framework, you'll end up in a bootloop. To deodex your existing ROM carefully follow Post #2
Here are a few made by XDA Senior Member @_alexndr
Stock deodexed for SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 International Qualcomm.
Stock deodexed for SM-G900F Galaxy S5 International Qualcomm
-And the framework itself from here
[UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for Samsung Lollipop by arter97
-Flash a custom recovery system of your choice. This is listed under preperation on purpose since this guide is about getting Xposed on your TW Lollipop device. A guide on how to get a custom recovery system is most certainly available in your device's forum.
-Store the ROM and the Framework in an easy to find folder, which we're gonna call "folder x". It doesn't matter where you store it (ext. SD or int. SD)
The Fun Part
-Boot into your custom recovery and make a full wipe:
TWRP users: "Wipe>Advanced Wipe> Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache> Slide to format.​CWM users: "Mounts and Storage> hit Format /System; hit Format /Data; hit Format /Cache.​
-Still in recovery system, install, or flash the files we put in folder x;
TWRP users: "Install> Navigate to folder x and choose the ROM file first> Add Zip> now choose the Xposed Framework from folder x> Slide to flash.​CWM users: "Install Zip> Choose zip from /sdcard if folder x is on internalt storage or /storage/sdcard1 if folder x is on ext. storage (SD-Card)>​choose the ROM file first> -Yes - install ROMXY.zip.​Do the same with the Xposed Framework zip file.​
-Still in recovery system, reboot device and wait for it to boot. It can take up to 20 minutes. Enjoy Xposed on your Samsung TouchWiz Lollipop ROM.
-Stuck in a bootloop? Try this and repeat the process.

XDA Senior Member @Honzze kindly pointed out to keep following in mind; You have to start JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer with Admin permissions. Otherwise this error might return "path variable" of Java "is not set".
Deodexing your existing ROM without having to flash an entire ROM
As the title says, with this awesome guide by XDA Senior Member @townsenk you don't have to reflash an entire new ROM to your device. Instead, youll just deodex those parts of your System which need to be modified in order to get Xposed working. You don't necessarily have to perform a full wipe if you do it this way. But if you encounter fc's or end up in a bootloop, you know what to do
Guide for this guide:
Regarding point 1: "...launch a DOS shell..." just means, you need to open the so called "CMD" programm in Windows. To "launch a DOS shell" or CMD from within a folder, you simply have to hold down the shift key and right click in that folder. The context menu will show an entry "open command window here". And that's it! (Windows XP users may have to search the internet for another solution)
For Galaxy S5 and Note 3 users: If ADB returns "device offline" or an empty line after "List of devices attached" make sure your using a USB 2.0 data cable on a USB 2.0 port

How to DeOdex YOUR (...) Rom.
I would like to note that I appreciate all the work that developers have put forth in creating and maintaining modified Roms. there are some awesome feature rich implementations available. My intentions are not to be critical of any specific Rom or mod. Without the developers we would have nothing.
(...)
This method is very common knowledge I thought I'd just explain it in an easy to understand way.
Here is what you need.
A stock (...) ROOTED configurated phone. Debloat as needed. Set the phone up exactly how you like it with apps and such.
Make sure it's stable. (If you have issues before DeOdexing they will be there afterward!)
Here's the files you may need to make this happen
LBD2.4.zip
7-Zip
Installer template (at end of post)
1> Make sure ADB is working on your computer. USB debugging turned on. Create a folder to store your soon to be download system files and launch a DOS shell from that working folder. Working folder name should NOT contain spaces. With the phone hooked up you should be able to type adb shell and get a prompt.
2> Type these commands
adb pull /system/app app/
adb pull /system/priv-app/ priv-app/
adb pull /system/framework framework/
This will take awhile and you will be left with three folders
Create a new folder named "system" and place these three folders inside.
3> Extract and launch LBD2.4 (This is the DeOdexer and is AWESOME). Point it at your recently created "system" folder and let it do it's thing.
I'll assume this will occur without errors as I have never had any.
4> At this point you can manually apply modded apk's to the system folder but I don't really recommend it. They can be applied afterward using the seperate installer zips.
5> with 7-Zip installed open the provided Installer template. Do not Extract it. Just open it in the 7-Zip file browser using the right click context menu in windows.
Drag-Drop the contents of your system folder into the empty system folder in the 7-Zip browser It should be the three folders previously created but now they are Deodexed. Close the 7-zip file manager and select Yes if it asks you to save.
Note: The provided installer template has been modified to only wipe and replace the three system directories.
6. Copy the created installer to your sdcard and install with recovery. Wipe cache and Dalvik before rebooting.
Go have lunch. You will sit at a boot screen for about 10 minutes. Then another 20 to rebuild caches. Time varies.
7. Your system will now be Deodexed! At this point you can install your mods one at a time, I recommend this so you can test your system between installs to determine if a specific mod is creating problems.
This method has so far removed ALL of my stability issues.

Since I no longer own this device, I'm retiring from this thread as of now. Hope I could help you.

Don't know if someone can help me as you stated that you're retired from this thread.
I did every step you do mentioned here (for self deodexing existing rom)
I did everything successfully and deodexed my files with 2.5 deodexer, putted files in the system folder to the 7zip folder and sent to my device and flashed zip, cleaned cache and dalvik and it stuck on booting for about 15 minutes. I know, it takes alot time during rebuildup of cache, but guys, it's 15 minutes! for me, if i cleanup cache and the dalvik/art cache, it just takes 1minute on boot screen to show up the image of each apps cache, but i just sat there with lots of patient for 15 minutes or a bit more and still same, stuck in same crappy booting logo.
I did restore my system files, now i'll try to retry it and send it again. Im suspicious of the zip file being corrupted during trasmitting to Device, however install was a big success so im very sure it wasnt corrupted. I'll do 2nd test and see it again if it's happening again.
If it does, i'll most likely try to figure out other ways to deodex as there is already deodexed roms out there, so they must have done is somehow.
Thanks, hope someone can help me out with this.
P.S: My adb works fine, i got usb drivers for my device, i got usb debug on, i got lots of space on phone, i got TWRP recovery which got very high compatibility when it comes to install anything from zip via recovery where almost all roms do work stable with TWRP.

omg brilliant @nitrous² ! thanks so much! its been days i keep trying to deodex with others tool...

Nope, i ended up using CM12 (at that time, right now i got cm13 update).
Well i had to deodex apps to get xposed on TouchWiz, but i failed and didn't get headache because of the Xposed modules being not really well compatible on TouchWiz, so i jumped to CM, i find it more stable, and the CM13 is insane because it saves so much battery at stand by, compared to lollipop, the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is the biggest update in android history, that saves hell lot of battery (it can be also maybe because i don't have Xposed Framework in recent rom).
Anyway, im tired of it, and i don't need to hassle with Link2Sd because of Android Marshmallow offering to mount the SD Card, in the end, all my needs are being offered in this (for me) huge, best android update, being Marshmallow.
Try it i would say, so amazing.

Ok i would like to go to cm13 as you but i stil need the support to the gear s smartwatch so i decided to stay with touchwiz without xposed.
