Here is the repacking script for the S7 I've been using.
Tested with mkbootimg built from CM7
Is this used to replace the "geeksu.info" boot screen?
could you post it in more noob friendly format, or add a bit of guide?
and is this for a normal S7 or slim?
Only tested for normal. Sorry
Do you think this will work even on the slim?

I have Just one thing I can't figure out when porting a rom. Its the config for the kernel when I unpack it I know I am suppose to get the zimage and replace with the kernel I am porting to and rename the .rc files and replace lib files.But when i recompiile it and flash it to my device.It gets stuck on the android logo after rle image boot.Can someone please help me out since I seem to be the only one porting or making a roms for the samsung Repp sch-r680 at the moment. Also I can't seem to figure out how to overclock a kernel ether or find anything on google and believe me I search over like 50 google next results and nothing.I ant a totally Noob ether I have already made a custom rom for the repp with init.d support and found another way to root it using my clockwork mod that I ported over to it.I also added busy box and su to the cwm for adb support.

I have a repp that I'm interested in working on. I've never ported a rom, but I understand Linux and some Android, and I don't mind staring at a terminal all day. I'd like to get something aosp working on it.
Let me know if you're still working on this phone.
I know this is a bit scarce, but I need help with a kernel. Why? Because I unfortunately don't have a
computer at the moment (much less Ubuntu suite), just my trusty GT-i9505. Also, I have a few
questions.
First of all, this is the guide I am following:
[GUIDE] Use aircrack-ng on android phone using Wireless USB Adapter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338179
This guide is aimed towards amateur kernel builders,
and the suggested ROM for use with this is Cyanogen Mod. Although, the post does mention that he was able to use his stock touchwiz ROM. He mentions he was able to do it with a few minor adjustments (along with the kernel and .md5 file):
I got this to work on my stock Samsung TouchWiz ROM by making a few adjustments:
- Get the kernel from Samsung: http://opensource.samsung.com/
- Change the lines in the .config file of the kernel below ## Samsung Rooting ... from =y to =n using nano
- To get boot.img, download the ...tar.md5 firmware matching your current firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/, rename .tar.md5 to .tar, and extract the boot.img. You cannot use mkbootimg here, only abootimg, as this boot.img has a special ramdisk address!

I would love to do this with my current TouchWiz ROM, (not stock) Samy Deluxe ROM- Operation Ivy
Any help/luck doing this? Thanks in advance
Bump
Bump. Let me also add that I can give the source to the kernel (of the ROM I have).
Really all that needs to be done is to rebuild that kernel (and follow the steps of course to the guide I'm using).
I have a TP Link tl-wn722n USB Wireless adapter, so I need to have the module/driver installed into that kernel.
The name of the kernel is 3.4.100-GoogyMax3_TW-v1.1.3
Here's the link to the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2895862&d=1407942420
I downloaded my kernel and looked inside of the zip file and don't seem to find a ".config" file as mentioned in the guide, but did see a boot.img so I don't believe there's a need to download the .md5 file:

Hi guys, so soon my cousin will be getting himself a nexus 5 and he asked me for help. I'm looking for a way to dual boot CM11/PA/Stock with Kali PwnPhone Community Edition. Now I know that multiROM exists but since that it isn't the process of a regular ROM flashing, I thought it might not work (might work too, that's why I am here for help). So I wanted to know of that will work and if it won't is there any other option, maybe with Ubuntu touch dual boot installer? So that's it hope I explained the situation well and thanks for helpers.

According to this: https://rstforums.com/forum/86853-build-your-own-kali-linux-pwnphone-pwnpad.rst Multirom supports this mod. Don't have any experience with it myself, but have multi booted quite a few phones including CM, FF OS, and Ubuntu Touch on the N5.
Just A Clarification.

So what I have to do, is:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash CM11 ROM (zip file)
4. Download MultiRom Manager and install MultiRom
And then, what?
The installation process of the PwnPhone FW is different that the guide says. Instruction in attached PDF.
So how do I combine this process with multirom? Maybe have a cm11 primary ROM and stock secondary ROM (which I also don't know how to do) and do the process on the secondary? Thanks for helpers.
Hi,
I don't want to start from scratch and make my own custom ROM for one feature only, and that is editing the bootsplash screen. How would I go about editing an existing ROM and replacing the bootsplash screen with my own?
Any links to any programs or tutorials would be great, thanks.
would love to know to, a simple guide would be great.
Hello,
First of all, this is my first post in the forum and my first time trying to compile an Android kernel.
My intention was to port Nethunter for my tablet, Samsung SM-T580 (Galaxy Tab A6 10.1 only wifi).
I have successfully compiled the original kernel offered by samsung and i have ended up with a file called Image, a file called Image.gz and a dts folder
I have extracted the original rom boot.img with mkbootimg_tools and i see a kernel file, a ramdisk folder, a ramdisk.packed file and a dt.img
For what i have found is that this must be a non standard thing, the way samsung manages this, and despite i have seen various guides on compiling samsung kernels, i haven't found anyone doing it straight from samsung sources.
I think that the dt.img part is solved with the dtbTool, but i haven't been able to figure out what to do with Image and Image.gz to get the kernel and ramdisk.
¿Can someone give me a lead on this? ¿Is it doable? ¿Should i look for other kernel instead?
Its been long time ago... But did you manage to compile the kernel?
