if you wish to change your kernel logo uneed to :-
-unpack yourkernel.elf (can't give a tutorial right now/nedd to working on it)
-the follow this tutor to convert your image to .rle
-rename the converted image to same name as your kernel logo name (ie: logo.rle/initlogo.rle/etc)
-if you done good...follow next step on next post (to repack your moded kernel)
Reserved for future
and this ...
one more...
I beg to disagree.....the X8 kernel does not come in the boot.img format. It has a kernel.sin that is compiled from an image and a ramdisk. The initlogo.rle (the file to be changed) is in the ramdisk. Ramdisk can be unpacked using DooMLorD's unlock-kernelsin.pl script. The method you mentioned won't work for the X8. Hope you understand what I mean. If you don't check my two guides.
I agree with sgt. meow here. And by use of linux (WM,Wubi or native install) and kernel kitchen by championswimmer which has all in one features is lot better and less confusing in my opinion.

Hey guys,
I really want to make a theme for slades rom but i just dont get how to make a flashable update.zip. Additionaly the new CWM requires edify-scripting -.- and here my update-zip-packager doesn't work anymore..for xrecovery it was just awesome..i already tried some amend2edify-converter, but that did not work either
So my question is, how can i make (or edit) an update.zip which can be flashed with the new CWM 3?
Thanks in advance,
nitro
i faced a similar situation today itslelf..n was ultimately forced to download the cwm version of slade's rom v5..
well if u just want to edit and replace apps n stuff, that can just b done in the sam way as any xrecovery rom...i used winrar to add n remove stuff from the rom n it works gr8
okay, thats an idea..but i want to make a theme..which means a flashable update.zip-file..does somebody know with what programm i can make such update.zips?
@ slade: how do you create your update.zips, e.g. the hotfixes with some single files?
Why don't you take a CWM package an unpack it via winrar/any other software? I'm quite sure there is an absolutely common folder structure following more or less the system folder structure and maybe there is one or there are more XML files in order to change some things in source files (e.g. change values in those *.hw files or whatever they are called) and to tell CWM what to do exactly.
As soon as you're done you simply zip it again (watch the folder structure).
***EDIT***
Ok, forget what I just posted. Had a look at one of slades zips and it's a little bit more than just an XML. Might not be smart to change stuff within that META-INF folder without knowing what you do.

You're gonna need this first
Then, this tools are used for non linux users, who want to develop roms
Cheers,
d4.
Interesting, but I prefer setting up Linux machine. But thx anyways!

eee,sta s ovim mogu napravit svoj rom?
to OP:
Just to remember, is needed 64bit Operational System to use this tool or not?
@ahmedz_1991 well ramdisk tool is for making ramdisk for ppl that doesn't have linux by hand and as android requires that file perms in tar / tar.gz archive remains same and most other cygwin tools need a lot of dll files and diff tools i made this to make things easier.
@biscoitu no need it is compiled for 32-bit windows so it can be used on 32-bit / 64-bit windows
@xperiauser132 ovo su samo pomocni alati za izradu dijelova roma. za one koji nemaju linux a za ramdisk postoje odredeni zahtjevi kao file
perms...
Nice...I gonna give a look in this....
thx
new version of custom boot image toolkit is up!
minor fixes ...
added image to android logo & android logo to image ( external tools ) ( cygwin again! god damn! )
working on new ramdisk handle procedure ... soon will be fixed
thanks DooMLoRD for finding tools

and this one..
I need this for extra (extra thanks..)
(may U?)
google it my dear brother..
hello, I wonder if it is possible to install the kernel with the ROM. As our kernel is. FTF and I do not know how to make a boot.img it, I ask you guys if there is a way to install it along with the ROM. Xperia X10 mini pro.
Already thanks!
And sorry my bad english.

Our phones don't support that, you have to flash the kernel separately with flashtool.

I dreaded it at that! but I thought maybe extracting the kernel and finding the lugars where FlashTools install these files were possible. But you confirmed what I already feared. Yet thanks Brothair!
* Here I would like just the thing to get you one way to get the important files inside the rom to play.
* This method is used for the newer phones from 2012 or machine type which is read out by name.

* The download files below you unzip the file and run Dump_Block_Rom.bat is. Son of Super SU it asks what the press to allow offline.
* After the class finished 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the rom. And then the window will appear Dump rom you press start, then you restart the computer. And internal memory in a folder named VDT-ROM, you copy the file inside .img okay. If you do know then play rom so that you do not even know the wait continues Part 2 of VDT okay. Wish you success.

Packaging rom LG G2 [Part 2]
- Once you have all the files in the folder where your VDT-ROM then guided in part 1 Well has completed half. Now I just followed you make part 2 even more interesting, too.
- Download below to download this file unzip the folder I was first called META-INF then you copy all the files in the folder VDT-ROM into the folder where you unzipped as in the image below. Then select all the files that are compressed into zip has been one of the rom then.
- Depending on the individual machines that each file size, not machine as well as machine. The figure below illustrates just to let you do such machines is to visualize the files in the file stepfather. META-INF folder is also required. I wish you success.

MODIFIED TWRP IMAGES FOR TITAN!Yeah, that's it. I was thinking about making twrp images for our device with every single color which you can found in this nice thread. Yes, I know that we can put the theme in /TWRP/theme/. But, why don't get rid of that annoying folder, make the change permanent, and most of all, share knowledge? That's what I'm going to do by making even easier the above guide, plus I'll be uploading modified twrp images (when I got time) ready to flash.
We need:
TWRP Image for titan.
Android Kitchen 2.4 for Windows. It's in the attachments section.
Uncompressed themes. You can choose your fav color there.
Patience and common sense.
1. Uncompress the Android Kitchen zip in your desktop (or any other folder), and download your favorite theme color. Uncompress it too.
2. Put the twrp image which you previously downloaded in the Android Kitchen folder (in the same folder where are the .bat files and so on).
3. Drag the image file to the "unpackimg.bat". There'll be a folder called ramdisk afterwards.
4. Go to ramdisk/twres/, and keep it open in a window. Remember the uncompressed theme folder from the first point? Well, open the uncompressed folder and move this: "images", "portrait.xml", "splash.xml", "ui.xml" to /ramdisk/twres. If windows asks if you want to move and replace these files, hit yes to everything.
5. Go back to the Android Kitchen Folder and click repackimg.bat; wait, and voilá, there'll be a new-image.img. Flash it from fastboot or from twrp itself (remember to check the "recovery" box). Click in "Reboot Recovery" to see how your twrp looks now.
That's all!
Images below are only for titan, not for thea/osprey/falcon. Just click the color, download and flash! They're ready to be flashed.

Thanks to: osm0sis, Luk, Luca, fichl and those who made this possible. I don't own anything nor I did any theme. If there's any way to make this better, you're free to post it here. I just share what worked for me.
Works great!

1. Drag the .img to the unpackimg.bat
2. A new folder (ramdisk) will be created afterwards in the same directory.
