Thank you very much berni for this idea !!
You have been an RC , so you should help us .
1-What' the recovery partion in the Official ICS and GB ?? mmcblk0p** (Since I don't have this phone I can't know them) .
2-I have followed your Tutorial to edit LG's firmware ,, but in the step when root the *.img file , how to return that image into *.bin ??
3-How to replace recovery like what xbsall did (in bootv21e.bin) ??
4-In V20a.kdz of P880 Optimus 4X ,, when I run :-
Code:
LGExtract -kdz ****.kdz
Then I get a *.cab file ,, extract it then find a *.DZ ?? In P920 kdz I find *.wdb (then extract it into *.bin) .
Thank you berni for your support to LG-P920 and for this EXCELLENT idea .

1. In all o3d partitions layout it's mmcblk0p6
2. Just open the edited img in hexeditor select everything copy it then select in the bin from offset to size off given by the extract tool and then paste it in there
3. Same as above open rec.img in hex editor select and delete the recovery file in the bin(everything is given by the extract tool) and paste in the new rec
4. Don't know much about dz files but take a look in l9/7/6 not sure which one there's a kdz Rom and the guy linked to a tool which extracts dz files if I remember right

It's to check if your backup is corrupted and to save you from unnecessary reflashing. If you're not planning to modify your backup , you should't disable it.

Berni, there's a few developer-related questions I wanna ask before I develop my first Android firmware ROM.
1. Is even a Java file context-sensitive? And if it is, should a simple change be checked against the other source that links to it?
2. Is it difficult to add in some framework / library outside the Android source codes?

To 1 no but most libraries are built of pretty much code (libwebcore is some gigs big) and are difficult to port to other android version(opposite is libwebcore which is pretty easy). Many libs should work on same android versions but many don't

Ah, I see. I will have to check against each other before I start compiling. Thanks, Berni.

Can I do the following for my Nexus S I9020T ? :
1.Let's assume I have the stock ICS ROM for I9020T , the 160mb zip file "ZD3PyN0t.zip" on my computer ..........
2.Unzip it using WINRAR
3.Make some modifications on the folder , like boot animation , some ringtones , delete camera focus sound , etc ....
4.After finnishing that , Zip it again using WINRAR (using the same setting of compression and what not) ...
5.Copy it to my SD card
6.Using CWM to flash it from CWM recovery ...
7.Be done with it ...
- Is that perfectly possible ? does the "ROM build" needs anything extra ?
- I see the stock official ROM in the properties , in comments "signed by SignApk" .. is that something to worry about ?
Thanks
up for an answer
Sure you could do that... but building from source is where it's at

Source is for compiling . Meaning you compile from the source, the source is where all the stuff are kept. Something like that.

You need adb installed and the commands are in the second post of this thread. >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046306

I haven't tried it but I cant see a reason why the same dd wouldn't be possible on the phone.
Use root explore to create a tar file of /system and copy it on your pc

The best option would be to nandroid backup.

Hey everyone !
I just made a simple tool for unpacking and packing kernels for Linux using bash scripts ..
Maybe helpful for start up devs and others alike !
I hope this tool will be beneficial to devs / kernel devs / ROM devs too.. for cutting down the time in typing a lot of stuff.
#include<disclaimer.h>
NOTE : Keep a backup of your kernel / boot.img always in hand.. I am not responsible for bootloops. Whatever you do.. Its your responsiblity. If you point a finger at me.. I will laugh at you !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to use this tool ??
Download the zip !
Extract it to the suitable directory.
Copy boot img too the directory.
Open terminal.
Change directory to kernel tools directory.
Run init.sh only if your running the script for the first time!
Type code :
Code:
./init.sh
Now tool is configured !
To extract boot.img :
Code:
./unpack.sh
To repack boot.img :
Code:
./pack.sh
To start from fresh again for new kernel build :
Code:
./fresh.sh
I am adding a blank zip to flash any kernel:
Just add modules to system > lib > modules
and add boot img to the zip along with meta-inf folder and system folder .
Hope this helps the whole community !
Those who have issues with " Permission denied problems " ... Right click on the .init.sh and give it suitable permissions.. or do a chmod +x on init.sh and then run it..
Kernel Tool Version 2 !
With new GUI and no hassles !
Worth a try View attachment K-EX-2.zip
New version : Version 3
Great Work Mate :good::good:

Sorry guys, but, this tool is recommended for everyone, dev and n00b alike...
Dev's may like to use commands, but newbies, take some time to learn...
This tool, makes your work easier, and faster...
p.s. use the original commands twice-thrice to get the flow of it... then, consider using this tool
Re: [DEV][TOOL] Kernel Tool Version 2 [31-3-2013]
For changing ramdisk(cm9 to 10/10.1etc. ) ~after boot.img split into kernel and ramdisk.cpio.gz,
Is it enough to replace the ramdisk.cpio.gz from the older working one without opening ramdisk.cpio.gz/messing with it?

Yeah that's fine.. no need to open and unpack it ..
Ps newer version has a kernel Porter.. just name the kernel as instructed in the tool it automatically ports the kernel according to what you want to do .. from boot Img to boot IMG..
And for the kernel devs from a new zimage to another bootimg from which ramdisk is req
Newer tool took a really long time to type .. lol no response (

Hey guys,
browsing on the net on how to increase wifi signal I got into this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711603
Here is a modded framework.jar of Woh's Rom.
It's working on 3.60 don't know on the other VERSION OF PARANOID.
It increased my range of about 5-7 metres, it may change or don't work for you at all.
Steps by Me :
Step 1 :
Using a root file manager, navigate to /proc and copy the Calibration file to /system/etc
set permission for the file as -rw-r-r
Step 2 :
Download and flash this zip
(http://www.mediafire.com/?1zz8lpkuu44k55o)
Step 3 :
Go to system/etc open the calibration file and add this line at the end of the file
rssi_offset=20
(my framework.jar has 20 as value)
Step 4 :
Now download the framework.jar file attached and replace it in system/framework
and set permission as :
owner v v
group v
others v
Step 5 :
Reboot
ATTENTION : Overwriting your framework.jar could cause your phone not to boot. Just use adb to restore your old framework.jar or just do a fresh install of the rom.
Here is the modded framework.jar AND IT'S NOT WORKING ON ANY ROM. I just shared this beacause it's quite annoying to follow the enteire guide.

You have to follow the guide, I just uploaded the "already modded" framework.jar

Usually, the framework.apk defers from rom to rom.
The apk you provided should only be used with the rom you took it from.
There's something like [PARANOIDANDROID 3.60]
in the title. Just a stupid could use this on other ROMs.

May you same modify my framework if I upload it here?
I followed the procedure and used the provided jar file, but now my device is showing errors that Fused Location has stopped, followed by an error that the process com.google.process.location has stopped.
I'm re-applying the origional ROM now.

I totally agree. Why not place this in the comments, or PM WoH_ to add this in his ROM?
It's a workaround, woh as manteiner can't change files in the source or his build would become a modded version... If I'm not wrong.

Hi, I think you committ a mistake in Step 3 because a good value for "rssi_offset" is 20 but you have to remember to add - symbol before the number, so the correct command is rssi_offset=-20
Best.
