First port of a ROM...need guidance!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
THis is going to be my debut porting of a ROM. As you all know I have been very vocal about my hate for MotoBla..I plan to port an absolute stock ICS ROM.
No AOKP or anything. Pure, barebones stock ICS for our Sexy RaZr...
But there are some questions first that need to be answered..
1. I have taken a clockwork backup of my own ROM, the 676.226.3.en.EU (For Retail EU) ICS Leak
(FROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755764)
and it has namely folders
.android_secure.vfat.tar
cache.ext3.tar
data.ext3.tar
pds.ext3.tar
preinstall.ext3.tar
system.ext3.tar
webtop.ext3.tar
Now if I want to make a flashable ROM, what all do I need out of this???
The other question, I have very much the stock ICS ROM, and it has all the folders I need to replace...
But how do I go about doing this..I believe I need an META-INF folder...haven't got one. ANd an boot.img. That too is missing.
WHat shall I do??
Can I use both the META-INF folder and the boot.img file from any other ICS/GSM 4.0.4 ROM??
Thanx a lot!

Extract The Kernel?

Hi guys.
as some may know that the new 2.1 rom for the hero doesn't contain things like friendstream etc etc..
but there has been roms such as VR5 and 6 prior to the official release to which contained these which were ported from the legend or Eris or some other Sense UI rom.
I was wondering would it not be possible to extract the kernel from the official rom and dump it in one of these other roms and try cook around this?
As i'm not a dev i don't know how possible this is, but i was just wondering as the Kitchen from here and theunlockr has an option to use a kernel from another rom into a rom that you are cooking.

Please upload the stock phone and contacts apk for LPG odexed

I need those 2 files, or if anyone has a cwm flashable zip, that would be even better!
Thx!
You can't reflash rom
Do as cool-face suggests, or you can look at wanam's Unbranded Odexed and Deodexed Stock ROM thread (which is in the Android Development section), download the version you are looking for, and extract them yourself.

[Q] How to theme Stock Roms

Hi there, there's prolly an answer to my question "somewhere" in this forum, but I'm having hard time finding it, and I have more than 1 question, so i do apologize.
I love XPS stock ICS 4.0.4.......currently have it running on my XPS rooted, somehow, I forgot how I did it rofl.
But my question is.
1 - If I flash the stock ICS 4.0.4 > than > the an ICS Kernal, will that work, and be rooted?
2 - Is there an Already rooted Rom or tft files for XPS ICS?
3 - I use to owned XP Arc, install kernal and go to recovery, and just flash a rom(extension .zip(with this I can mode the apps/theme/icon,etc to the way I like it)), every XPS rom are either stock which is .tft or incomplete or rom with theme i didn't like(with all respect).
Basicly, what I'm looking o do is, installing stock rom, rooted, able to mod/change framework files,etc.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks.

[HELP][Willing to Donate!] Deodexing a stock ROM [SOLVED]

Greetings,
I was trying to create custom roms for the Galaxy Y pro (B5510) but I am having problems deodexing the latest stock ROM lately. I tried all tools which deodexes a ROM but I have no luck with any of them, as if there is something wrong during the actual deodexing process.
As you can see, there is no working custom ROM for the Galaxy Y pro lately. If someone can make things work (just let it deodex the stock ROM) then I might as well donate for your efforts

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Never mind,
Already figured it out, the easiest way to deodex the rom was using Virtuous Ten Studio... The Auto Deodex feature worked for the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM by setting the API Level to 10. Just a reference for those who will encounter similar problems. I tried other tools but it returns an error when deodex is initiated. I guess I have to donate to myslef then
