[Q] Kernel extraction from a rom? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched everywhere googling. I cant find a good tutorial on how to extract a kernel from a ROM and create my own flashable .zip for my current ROM. I need to be able to do this on a Windows machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Really? Not a single Dev out there willing to help someone learning? I think I understand why stuff gets "posted in the wrong place", to draw more attention.

ill help you out just take the boot.img of the rom that has the kernel you want...and done

That's it? No resigning or anything? Replace boot.img with the one I want and reflash the Rom?
Edit: I should clarify more I guess. If possible, I'd like to make it a flashable. Zip

Thats a little harder if you just want a flashable.zip you need to extract the zimage or something like that from the boot.img with the android kitchen but the simple way is just taking the boot.img and putting it into the rom and reflashing

yea they are in /system/lib/modules

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. I'll try this when I get home. Do I need to resign or anything? Use 7zip?
Edit: Got it! Sweet. Thank you for your help. Reflashed and everything's good

No Clock Mod for EB13/EC05

Looking for a No clock mod that works with eb13/ec05, the only ones I've found are only compatible with dk28. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Here it is, thanks to pdfmedic from http://lostandtired.com/

I'll second that request

i agree also
R u talking about in the notification bar? If so I have the services.jar with this mod but I'm on my phone right now. Ill post it up when I get home unless some1 else has it already or if some1 else from the viper team has my file they can post.
here is the jar that removes the time from the notification bar the file is already in a flashable zip just make sure 2 backup before flashing
Awsome!
Two quick ?s;
If I decide I want it back, what do I need to do?
And do you happen to have one that would get rid of the signal meter?
And by backup, you mean the backup that is available in clockword mod(sorry noob that's wthe "nandroid" people refer to?)?
Ok. Four questions.
to get it back all u would have 2 do is flash the stock services.jar
ill see if i can get the signal bar off also but cant guarantee it
and yes that is the back up im referring to... anytime u flahs something u should always make a back up
SRF/Bonsai users - flashing the above is NOT RECOMMENDED! The poster did not state it's compatible with either one, meaning you'll get the throttle service back... and you will not be able to boot your phone, because it's got leftover pieces of Carrier IQ left in it!
DO NOT WANT!
hence the backing up just in case... and if thats the case then please post your services.jar file and i will edit it 2 remove the clock
Thanks for the hbeadsup k0nane.

This is the one was create by the dev for midNight ROM which is Bonsai based.
It is EC05.

Visual Voicemail App

Need the one from the stock ROM. I have no clue what I'm doing at this point, so extracting it myself isn't an option. Anyone have it, or can point me in the right direction? I want to put it on OMGB.

Well, you would just take it from RMK ROM, and try using root explorer and copying it to ur system.app folder, then click it and push install and see it it takes..or I can make a .zip for you which I will..
Flash in recovery..

BTW I have NO idea if this will work..

[Q] Is there any tutorial to make our own custom rom for ARC..

Hai There....
After I search around on google I found some tutorials to make a custom rom, ofcourse there is rom kitchen but I like to know how I can make a rom for the Arc??
And is there anyway to to decompile tft ??? because I like to know it too..
Thanks everybody...
+1
Yeah, Ive been meaning to ask this question as well!
Its just crazy having to scour the entire XDA just to find a few skins for systemUI or SEHOME, but a tuts will do a lot more good in the long run.
Will somebody help?
Make nand backup and copy system.img and data.img and boot.img to kitchen folder..start kitchen and start to work.
With this method you can also modify stock rom.
How to get cygwin and kitchen work..use search and you find good tutorials many.
Happy working and give us report about progress.
Cheers

Boot.img is kernel and ramdisk, grab it from the stock ftf if you are working on stock.
if not grab it from teh rom you are basing off.

Sony fones have the boot partition hidden. So no you can't grab it off fone. You can use the files. Look for iridaki's boot IMG/ ramdisk thread. That explains it. In lots of detail.

ok I will try its.. couple days ago I tried already using the kitchen without boot.img and what I got was stuck on boot after flashing.
Can you guys check my file on the link downhere and tell me what is wrong with it...

[Q] I need help!!

I need help! Can someone of you who have Costum ROM, send me a "wifi" folder from the software that he has?
I'm not sure what you mean by "WiFi Folder". But you can try re-flashing your radio. You will need Clockworkmod Recovery 2 to flash it.
Here's mine in CM7 (if you need one for a Sense based ROM, I can't really help you there)
I found it in /system/etc
Ohh, thats what he meant lol. For some reason my wpa_supplicant.conf is found in a different folder :O

Extreme Power Saver Mode Mod??

So I've seen the mods for the Vzw M8 and the intl M7, but cannot find a clear answer as to whether these will work on a vzw M7.. Im on 4.4.2 Sense6 s-off bootloader unlocked and rooted, stock rom, anybody know how to get EPS mode? Already enabled normal power saver, but dying to get EPS

You can download NuSense and locate HTCExtremePowerSaver.apk in /system/priv-app and just push to your priv-app and should have it.
R u saying to install the rom to get it or just somehow pull the apk from it and put it in priv-app? I've never installed a custom rom before, been trying to get it on stock rooted rom… although I have been considering NuSense lately.. Forgive me for the dumb question, just not all that experienced with rams n stuff

Basically most custom ROMs have it.
My Bonestock ROM has it as well..
If you don't want to run a custom ROM, I could try and make you a .zip to get it working on your current set-up.
let me know.

I'm really trying to stay on the stock rom so if you had the time and were willing to make a zip for it, I would be forever in debt to you and I'm sure there are some others who would definitely appreciate it as well
I'm really not all that familiar with adb and fastboot (I know I need to learn) the only things I've ever really flashed is in recovery and I didn't really want to flash any of the other mods because they weren't specifically for our phone and I don't really want to screw anything up considering im pretty new to this

is only the .apk needed for it to work? I can't remember if more needed editing.
I know that Messaging.apk will most likely have an issue.
But I can edit the EPS.apk if he has this issue.

That is all he needs. The xml is already edited inside the apk to work with vzw.
Another dumb question, but do I need to install the apk through recovery? Can't get it to install from on phone

It's an apk that has to be pushed to your system priv-app folder. Have root explorer or even terminal can move it if you know the commands.

You want to put it in the priv-app folder.
Then just flash in recovery.
I went ahead and made it for you, I attached it, just flash in recovery.
