Hello,
I would like to understand a bit more about samsung partitioning scheme.
In particular I would like to know how kernel image and recovery (cwm) are packed togheter.
Suppose I cross compile my custom kernel image, then how can I add cwm to it ?
Thank you a lot !

Well, despite I'm still interested in this question, maybe I can reformulate it more generally..
Can someone please tell me about the "theory" and provide me information about image format?
I can try to find out how to produce such image in practice by myself if someone could kindly point me to some documentation...
Thanks you

Hi
I was wondering if theres a way to switch between cyangen and a stock rom, i want to try out cyangen but it doesnt seem to have enough of the features i regularly use but at the same time i would like to use it for roms only so i can use my ps3 controller with it.
- Going to another ROM from CM7?
You can go back and forth freely between CM7 and other ROMs via ROM Manager or ClockworkMod recovery as the file systems are the same and nandroid backup/restore works to go between ROMs.
That's what it says in the first post of cyanogenmod rom

I know you can do a nandroid backup but i was thinking more along the lines of running it off the sd card or somehow partitioning the system partition so you have 2 of them there. If i did the nandroid way, i would have to keep a large portion reserved for the backup and i would have to do it every time i wanted to play a game which would ruin the life of the flash memory and it would be a pain generally. I saw on All About Android there was an app called boot manager but i dont know if that will work on the SGS II

There is some experimentation with that at the moment, apparently it kinda works, i know there is a thread about it.
Search for boot manager sgs2 or sgs2 dual boot and it should be there.

Think the thread is in themes and apps section, just to narrow it down. Look for multiboot as search term.

thanks found it instantly with that info, Looks like nobody properly tried to get it working and its a paid app so i dont really wanna buy it and find out it doesnt work... Although i guess everyone is in the same boat... I'll see what people do.
Hello,
i know that the boot img contains the kernel.. but how can i now change somthing inside?
ROMS I open with winrar and then change everything I want.
Does it work a different way at Kernel?
Thanks in advance.

No, changing the kernel involves unpacking the boot.img and editing the RAM disk. I'd recommend this guide for doing this on Windows:

i think you will get the result easier if u just take the certain kernel and flash it afterwards

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

OK, just for giggles try this, take the meta-inf folder from a rom you know works and using 7zip replace the one in your rom. Let me know if that helped at all:beer:

Ext3 is a mount point, I'm not sure what it would be specific to your device, but it tells me there's an error in your updater script

I think you can use the same commands as on newer kernels, because xrecovery supports update-script as well as the newer formatting known as our common updater-script.
Basicly, all you need to know is the 'mount' command, the 'package_extract' command, the 'symlink' command , the 'ui_print' command and the 'set_perm' command.
PS.: You can always ask me with that sort of question, if you want .

You using dxixdas droid-kitchen (just asking)?
With xrecovery, it really doesn't matter, because it supports both formats. Personally, I think the edify formatting is easier to write, and it supports more recovery versions. The amend formatting only supports older recovery versions, it won't work on newer ones (at the moment, cwm 5.X is the newest recovery for our device, I think), and it is more difficult to write.
Shall I maybe release a complete guide in the dev section(s)?
