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)?

Advice: For making custom roms you need to understand the structure of Android and know the specifications for drivers and files :fingers-crossed: just because there might be some bugs and you need to know why that happens. Or are you planning on doing ROMs just to modify simple aspects of existing ones?
Also this is the wrong section you should post here.

No custom rom for the moment. Mike said that he made a recovery mode, let's see what will happen in the next version and if it will be possible at that moment.

In fact, you can mod the current firmware if you know what to do... I activated the software keys on mine (you know, the home, back, applist). You just have to mount the img file, or use adb and you can try to change things.

Mounting the img file needs Linux (you need something like mount -t ext2 -o loop polishblood_Nightlyi1.img ../the_folder_you_created_for_mountpoint) but if you just want to make smaller modifications (eg. replacing one apk, or editing some configfile) adb on Windows is enough. If you use my kernel then you will have write access to /system, too.
As a "proof of concept" I "ported" a firmware from Galaxy S (AOKP). You can experiment with it, just replace the polisblood_Nightly1.img (and preferably replace data.img and cache.img with the original ones.)

WinHex can open and extract files/folders from *.img ...
https://dms.ospserver.net/v1/device...?pkgID=FW-20120626-14658&service=fumo&wrkID=W
To build... not tested yet... But I think also more Windows Tools exists...
But for starting research WinHex is enough.
Best Regards
Thanks For your Replies

There are no such tools... You can find scripts to extract the initramfs but that's all. You have to compile your kernel to make real changes.

Could you tell me how you did that?
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

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
