Greetings ,
I need help to edit rom for Samsung devices , Since after Lollipop there are 4 separate files for flashing. I want to extract and edit system.img file then add my own created app.apk into system/app and rebuilt the system.img.
after creating system.img can I use just a simple tar utility to build .tar file
I.E : tar -cf mycustombuild.tar system.img boot.img recovery.img userdata.img
All I need a unpack / repacker for that kind of roms , Looking forward to your kind response.
Regards

To compile a boot.img file that you can then flash to your device you will need to use the mkbootimg binary that is included as part of the AOSP source code. This will combine the ram disk that was produced, the kernel modules, and the zimage into a boot.img file. To learn more about this I would suggest taking a look at these two guides http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...how-to-load-kernel-image-in-mkbootimg-command.

Maybe "Total Commander" does the trick? There is a free Demo Version available. TC helped me out a lot of times when nothing else worked...
First you need to run s2img (not sure about the name) it is part of the CM tree. After that you can mount it as a loopback device.
out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img system.img system.img.raw
mount -o loop system.img.raw /mnt
already done from beginning first Rom was out....

Do you have a flashable zip that works on your device? If you do, you can use the META-INF folder from that.
