I want to take a custom rom, extract it, then port it, and then zip it again to install in CWM.
How to do it?
When I try to extract a custom rom, there are several files that get error.. (like files without extension in folder bin/) how to extract them too?
When I am ready porting the rom, how do I zip it again to install in CWM?
Im trying to put themes on my Nexus 4 and I see a lot of themes just giving files. What am I supposed to do with those files? If the files are zip files than I'm supposed to flash it through the recovery? And If I do, than what after I Flash it?
Thx for help.

Some themes will be flashable zips. To check if its flashable open up the zip. If you see a META INF folder its most likely a flashable zip.
Before flashing a theme make a nandroid backup just incase. All you need to do in most cases is simply flash the file through recovery and reboot.
Other themes will be apks, and must be selected through theme chooser to be applied.
Im using hyperion 8. i accidentally flashed beats audio zip from rocko devs website in hyperion 8. now i cant open "sound effects" in settings.

The application Equalizer (process com.bel.android.dspmanager) has stopped working.
is there a solution other than reflashing hyperion 8
Unzip mod zip
unzip rom zip
Replace the files in the mod zip with ones from rom zip
rezip and Flash
manually delete any extra files that were in mod zip but not rom zip
Of course it's much easier to restore your nandroid backup but for some reason no one here ever makes one even though I keep telling people to
doubt

You replace any files from the mod zip with ones from the rom zip
by flashing it you are replacing the files from the mod zip with ones from the rom zip
Any extra files that are in the mod zip but not in rom zip Manually remove with a root browser
This should then put your phone back to pre mod flashing
Remember ALWAYS make a nandroid backup in future
thanks

Hi. I want to create a flashable zip file from the latest TWRP .img file and the latest CWM .img file. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I've searched all over google and couldn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, but I still can't find what I'm looking for. I want to take the twrp.img or cwm.img file and create a flashable zip from it. I see that you've done it for twrp, do you mind sharing how you did it ?
Thanks again,
Mike

Download the zip and extract it. All you need to do is drag and drop the recovery image you want in it, cwm or twrp and delete the one that's currently in there. Then navigate to the updater-script (it's deep inside the meta-inf folder) and edit it with notepad++ It'll become self explanatory once you look through the zip file. When you'll all done just zip it back up. You'll have a flashable recovery zip.
Ps, I use 7-zip to extract and zip

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Can you be little more specific? Do you want to 1) extract the kernel (that is an "zImage") image or 2) simply the "boot.img"?
The second task is simple as you can simply copy the "boot.img" from the ROM zip. You can flash "boot.img" directly via twrp (no need to make flashable zip).
The first task, however, is bit complicated as it requires the use of some tools like mkbootimg or Android Image Kitchen to split the "boot.img". You can flash the obtained "zImage" by simply copying that into an existing anykernel based klte custom kernel. :laugh:
Feel free to contact me for any further clarification/help.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I needed flashable zip kernel file extracted from SkiesRom.
I wanted patch this by DualBoot

Hi, if you have a Linux, you can easily extract the zImage from the "boot.img" using mkbootimg (see previous comment for links). If you want me to do that job, feel free to send the "boot.img" of that mentioned ROM (I'll make a flashable anykernel zip file for you so that you can flash over any ROM).
Regarding the DualBoot, I really do not know...
