Is there a how to for this so I can write my own script instead if using someone elses for my theme?

Yeah, you can search for it where you downloaded the android sdk, they have a base script there. Also, there is a thread on XDA about it telling you everything you need to know. I think it's in the G1 forum, I'll update this with the link when I find it.
Here's two I found on XDA:
This is the best
The last post is useful if you use Ubuntu

Question About Ubuntu on Thunderbolt

So i have been searching and trying to figure out how to get ubuntu on my bolt.
Found a how to in the dev forum, I understand all the instructions, but I don't know what to do about downloading the links, it just pops up scripts.
Do I copy the script and paste them in gedit or what?
Thanks for your time!

[Q] Cut down XOOM rom?

I do really apoligize if i sound incredibly noob-ish and dumb. If in theory i download a stock flashable xoom rom and then remove most xoom independent files such as kernel (modules) and other /system folders then flash it over a lightweight rom without tw apps, would i get a stock honeycomb rom? Mainly relying on compatible /system/app and system/framework folders?

nope. If you don't know what you're doing (and few of us do), just find a ROM in the dev forum and follow the instructions. If it was as easy as that, everyone would be a dev...

Please help making a kernel

I was going to make a kernel based on cm7 kernel, so how to start.
And how to add frequencies.
Adding over clicked frequencies is the main purpose, please help me somebody.
I want to make it for HTC explorer but there are nearly no devs who can help me that's why I am asking here

> You can PM kernel experts.. like TA and DJnoXD.. they are both good persons and they could help you out.
I really appreciate your work. Few weeks back.. i was trying to convince every Forum Admins to get
Explorer and similar devices.. a forum or atleast a sub-forum.. and happy to see they accepted our request..
Being a Lagacy Device.. they gave Explorer and others a complete forum!!

if u have some prior coding experience then adding frequencies, adding governors should be a piece of cake...
if no,
then you better check the gb cm7 rom for optimus one..try to find out the commit where actual work was started by the cm team on the kernel..you will find out how they added frequencies, governors and everything...:good:

That's nice idea of comparing with optimus one kernel
I'll try it.
Thanks for the tip

Now I have some ideas but I am unable to extract the kernel from boot.img
I have cygwin and saw some guides about some perl script but I am unable to use it
Please guide me how to do it

I would suggest you to try compiling the cm kernel for your phone whitout changes. (cm wiki)
After you succeed compiling the kernel, test if it is working.
Now you have a base you could start working on.
Next step could be to change something. (frequencies for the p500 have to be changed here: arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock.c)

[TOOL] KDZ - Extract and Merge

I was looking on the web for some kind of kdz file extraction and re-zip tool that could help with inserting the root file AND possibly the V20B bootloader unlock function for all of our L9 variants. Being a P769 user I would definitely gravity to using our phone first! But I found this link in android and it shows you how to extract a kdz via LG UPTESTEX MOD. Sound familiar, well it should because that's what we use to offline flash our phones. So it's saying that we can extract, modify then merge the files back INTO A KDZ for flashing. If this is true then we can manipulate the ROM! but I'm no devy so I can't so do. Here is the link for anyone curious about it:
Oh my apologies if I didn't put this in the right forum. I always wan to place things in the general forum so that I get maximum eyeage. But I placed it here for dev's to see.
Thanks for sharing! I hope the devs here can use this to their advantage! :thumbup:

Maybe we can load up cyanogenmod with the stock kernel a-la 2nd init with this method. THANKS
Well nice thought, but I think it wont work. I think so for a simple reason. We already tried that over at the p970 forum. I dont really remember of the dev who tried it, but it was either navossoc or xonar, if I remember correctly. He said something like, it s possible to extract the bin files, but he receives some nonsense code and doesnt know, how to interpret and put them back together. If you need the source, pm me please and I ll look it up

First of all you need notepad++ to enter the code.
There are a lot of links to update scripts in XDA though none in this forum. I found dozens and have links if you want them just PM me. They are very easy to make and pretty damn easy to flash as well. I found a updater script handler that I use to compile, sign, and zip the file. I don't have it here but when I get home I can send you the link for it. Now I'm not taking credit for it so I'm going to send you the links not the files for anything. I'm sure you will do just fine. Just make sure you do a backup before you flash anything so you can get your phone back to where you started and be patient and just take your time. Good Luck!
