I recently learned how to compile a flashable version of my Galaxy Gio stock ROM as seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109748
I was wondering if I could do the same with a Nexus 7 factory image. The one I had in mind was the 4.2 ROM as I have had the least troubles with it. Would I just decompile it, take the stock /system folder, grab a META_INF and boot.img from a 4.2 stock based ROM, then zip it all up? If not, how would I do it? Could I also make it MultiROM compatible?

I downloaded the latest official gb to my computer(b572g). I have an aurora ics custom rom right now and cwm 5.0.27
I just want to play a little with stock gb and maybe try modding it a little. It is in update.app format and I wonder if I can somehow make a flashable .zip file to mod and why not make a custom rom from the stock one....Is there a way?
Thanks in advance!
Is safe to flash back the stock boot.img after flashing the latest Cyanogenmod?
P.S
I want to install Bricked kernel on the stock kernel, to make sure all of it works fine.
Hi everybody, I am completely new in kernel development and I have a 32-bits machine, so I can't compile JB kernels. I tried to port a 4.3 kernel to 4.2.2 (as u probably know, now I am updating MIUI V5 ROM from miui.com with kingzak34 and the more kernels we have the better for everybody) but isn't booting. Could anybody help?
What I did
I installed the proper environment. I installed java, cygwin and dsixda Kitchen.
With dsixda kitchen I unpacked the 4.3 boot.img, opened the ramdisk and init.rc.
I copied export BOOTHCLASS line from the beggining of the file.
I unpacked a 4.2.2 compatible with MIUI kernel, and replaced that export BOOTHCLASS line in 4.3 kernel.
I flashed it in recovery but bootloops. I had to restore backup
What am I missing?
Thank u everybody!!
There is more to it than just copying class paths
A 4.3 kernel will not boot with 4.2 system modules
A 4.2 rom will not boot with 4.3 system modules
For this to work you will need a 4.3 kernel, 4.3 modules and you will need to do a **** load of smali edits (since you can't work with source on miui) to the rom to accommodate the new methods the 4.3 will be expecting to use.
Or back port the 4.3 kernel to be able to use the 4.2 modules. Also a challenge
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
modules and drivers, 4.2.2 wont boot without the right modules and drivers.
Can anyone provide a flashable zip for the dsp manager from cm12 that works on stock 5.0.1?
I remember flashing a zip made for 4.4.x from cm 11, can't find one from cm12.
Don't want a new ROM altogether, just something from here something from there.
Thank You
I didn't test it, but this should do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-cm-dspmanager-universal-zip-t2939933
it has problesm on n4
anyone anything else?
Hi, I saw that in Goldeneye ROM @ Touchwiz lollipop 5.0.1 It has the stock kernel in aroma installer @ i9505.
Can I download from somewhere that stock kernel to flash it to another 5.0.1 Touchwiz ROM like Imperium, for example?
I searched it on google, but I found only kitkat stock kernels only.
Why not just extract the stock kernel from Goldeneye and make a flashable zip for installation onto another device?
