Hi Guys ...
For those of you who want to change the logo of your android phone when turned on, it should change the logo on the kernel you are using, with your own logo, I will try to help explain how a simple and more detailed. If you can not do it any other way. Mugkin this way can help you. Tools needed:
- Linuk + Perl
- Windows
- A little patient and creative.
Ok! Go ...............
1. Prepare to be in exstack Kernel. You must open a pack kernel first. "DooMLord" has made the tool easy to us doing that, this tool will work in linuk.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
Run your Linuk ....
Save-kernelsin.pl and unpack the kernel will be open, the folder "HOME" on your linuk.
Call the command prompt, then type:
. / Unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
or use the command
perl unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
It will make:
- Folder-ramdisk kernel.sin
- Kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz
- Kernel.sin-kernel
- Kernel.sin-header
Delete the file "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" and file "kernel.sin-header".
Open the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk",
Please edit or replace your "logo.rle" in the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk" according to your desire. When finished editing "logo.rle", then do to repack folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk", by way of
Typing commands at the command prompt:
$ Cd kernel.sin-ramdisk
find. | Cpio-o-H newc | gzip> .. / newramdisk.cpio.gz
This will result in "newramdisk.cpio.gz"
2. Now we take the file "kernel.sin-kernel" and "newramdisk.cpio.gz". Save and make sure that both files in one folder.
3. Now you fire up your windows, preferably on Win-xp.
4. Open the folder kernel.sin-and-FTF-creator for your mobile
5. Enter "kernel.sin-kernel" and "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" into folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator.
6. Make sure Java is installed on your windows? or if not, you can follow this step.
7. On BUILD-IT.BAT right click and click edit, in order to be as follows:
echo Manifest-Version: 1.0 > manifest.mf
echo device: X10 >> manifest.mf
echo branding: dooMkernel -v06-BootManager-v1.4 >> manifest.mf
echo Created-By: dooMkernel >> manifest.mf
echo version: 2.3.3 >> manifest.mf
ren kernel.jar X10_2.3.3_dooMkernel-v06-BootManager-v1.4.ftf
8. Remove the line
del manifest.mf
del kernel.sin
save and reflace to BUILD-IT.BAT
9. In the folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator instead of the name "kernel.sin-kernel" to "image" and rename "-ramdisk.cpio.gz kernel.sin" to "ramdisk"
*NOTE!!
[Make sure you have change the file name correctly, because if not kernel.sin corupt.

How to Rename File Extensions:
Renaming File Extensions can be very handy when trying to convert one file name to another. There are many programs on the web that can help you do this. But are you aware that windows operating systems can do this for you? Below are instructions on how to do so.
Go to Start
Control Panel
Folder Options
Click on the 'View' Tab
Then simply uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
Then click Apply
Finally click Ok
Now you will be able to change file extensions, such as .JPG to .jpg.]
10. Then Double-BUILD-IT.BAT then ENTER
11. It generates two files: "kernel.sin" and "MANIFEST.MF"
12. Next create a save file folder "kernel.sin and loader.sin to the folder.
13. Now run Flashtool
14. Click Advanced and select Bundle Creation
15. In the Select source folder, select the folder where you save the file and loader.sin kernel.sin
16. on the choice Devices customize your devices, adjust the version of ROM version, the choice of content with brand Branding your devices.
17. Move all the contents of the folder content list to the Firmware
18. Click OK
19. Click Flash
20. Select the kernel that you create.
21. Click OK ...... connect the PC to your devices.

Have you ever installed a new rom, but completely forgot which notification sound you were using? I have a nandroid backup of the old rom, but really don't want to completely restore the rom just to figure out which sound I was using. Android stores this in a database, and I'll show you how to access that database. In hindsight, it may just be easier to restore the nandroid backup. But, this is how to do it using a nandroid backup.
I'll be using Ubuntu 12.04 to do this. I believe it can be done with Windows as well, though the commands and programs will differ. Again, this assumes that you don't remember what the filename was. If you do, you can just skip to step 7.
1. Copy your nandroid backup files to your computer. Specifically, the "data.ext4.tar" and any "data.ext4.tar.a", "data.ext4.tar.b", etc. files.
2. The files need to be combined together. Use the command "cat data.ext4.tar data.ext4.tar.a data.ext4.tar.b > data-combined.tar" or similar for your filenames. It combines all of your data.ext4.tar files into one new file, data-combined.tar. This should give you a working tar file. I got this step from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194171.
3. Extract the data-combined tar file. If you're a super-cool linux hacker, you probably know some terminal command to do this, like tar -randomLettersHere (xzvf?). I just right clicked the tar file and selected "Extract Here".
4. Navigate to "./data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" and open the file. I didn't have any program to read SQL databases, so I let Ubuntu installed the recommended one for me, called "Sqliteman".
5. Using the list on the left, go under Tables-System. You should see the contents of that table, which look like an excel spreadsheet. The row (or tuple) we're looking for has the field "name" equal to "ringtone" or "notification_sound", depending on which file you're trying to locate. You can scroll through the rows and look for those rows, or you can enter an SQL command in the top box and hit the green arrow to run it and filter just the ones we want. Try this-
Code:
select *
from system
where name='notification_sound' or name='ringtone';
This pulls up all the rows where "name" is exactly equal to either of those strings. You can also search for anything that contains those strings by using this syntax-
Code:
select *
from system
where name like '%notification%';
If you're looking for your ringtone, try a query that just contains "ringtone", like this-
Code:
select *
from system
where name like '%ringtone%';
(That pulled up the actual file for me under the name "ringtone_CONSTANT_PATH")
If you're using a different rom than that I was (or a different device), you might need to tweak what you look for. Try changing the strings you search for. What we're looking for is for the entry where "value" equals something like "content://media/internal/audio/media/238". It might have the word 'internal' instead of 'external'. Note that number at the end, which is some kind of media ID number.
6. Now, open the SQL file "./data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db" or "./data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/internal.db" depending on whether the value in step 5 had the word internal or external. Find the row where "_id" equals the number at the end of your "value" string in step 5. You can scroll through the "files" table, or enter a query like this-
Code:
select *
from files
where _id='238';
The field "_data" should show the path for your file. For me, it was "/system/media/audio/notifications/S_Dew_drops.ogg". Oh, how I love you, Touchwiz...
7. Now you know where the file is. If your new rom doesn't have that ringtone/notification sound any more, you can probably retrieve it from two places. First, check the rom installation zip file (probably the easiest way) if it was an included sound. Open the installation zip file, and look in the path you found in step 6. The second way is to go through your Nandroid backup. Follow steps 1-3, but copy, combine, and extract your system.ext4.tar file(s). Again, just look in the same path from step 6, and it should be there. These paths are typically "/system/media/audio/notifications/" and "/system/media/audio/ringtones".
Enjoy your old, familiar sound again!

1 - you need to open sgs2toext.jar with Java (Rightclick,openwith,JAVA (TM) PLatform SE Binary)
2 - Drag the system.img.ext4 into sgs2ext4.jar(The Java Windows) application and wait until it is done.
3 - in my case i was able to open the file with 7-Zip i'ts
a lot easyer than using Linux reader

This needs you to download a small file which lets you calculate the sha1 and md5 right from the command prompt!
Tested on Windows 8.1, but should work on any windows, XP and above.
Step 1: Download this file from Microsoft's site.
Step 2: Open the downloaded file and select "Yes" then extract to any desired folder. ( I extracted it to C:/Windows/SysWoW64/ )
Step 3: Open command prompt and type set path=%path%;XXXX , where "XXXX" is the actual folder path where you placed the fciv.exe file while extracting. Then hit Enter.
Step 4: Now type fciv and hit enter to check if everything is working, it should display a large wall of text.
How to check/ generate the sha1 or md5sums for any file
Step 1: Open command prompt.
Step 2: Type "fvic -sha1 'filenamewithpath' ", where filenamewithpath means exactly that.
PROTIP: To make it easier just press and hold shift and right click anywhere in the file residing folder and right-click. Then select open command window here. Now you can just type the filename without the path.
Sometimes it may appear like it has frozen but it hasn't, it'll just take a while depending on the size of the file.
Enjoy!
