[Q] bootani.qmg and shutdown.qmg

Hello
Is there a possibility that someone would kindly give me those two files bootani.qmg and shutdown.qmg, from a stock clean rom? They are located in system/media, would appreciate. If not, is there a tool or which I could use to extract these files from a rom file, as Im not really up to flashing whole rom for two files. Thank you

Install custom rom - in rar format?

Excuse the noob question but I wanted to try out the FlipDroidmod 2.1 but the download is a rar file.
How do I install that using Recovery - I thought it had to be a zip file?
Thanks
you need to extract the .rar file and place the folder in the same folder as
your nandroid backups and restore it from recovery

Need INU India gt-9500 original MEA sys file

Can anybody provide me with the original sysytemui file found in system/apps as I have replaced with the modified without the backup and it is continuosly showing the message that sysui has stopped
Plz
If nobody provides the single systemui.apk you can try to extract it from original firmware by using [WINDOWS][TOOL]Android ICS JB EXT4 ImageFile Unpacker!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921399
Make a copy from your extracted i9500MEA firmware and rename .tar.md5 into zip.
Then extract system.img.ext4 an unpack with above-mentioned tool.

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...
