HC-kTool ( a diamond in the rough )

Hi. Just thought that the app kTool by HellCat doesnt get enough attention. I honestly thought it was something that everyone has but have learned that a lot of people dont even know about it. Here are uses:
Dump current kernel for quick zImage backup,
flash a /sdcard/zImage immediately and seamlessly.
Backup/restore EFS.
Install (up to) .efs+modem.bin+zImage in homemade update.tar instantly
Verify efs backup integrity.
Reboot to system, recovery, or download mode.
Simple yet effective user interface. Very user friendly.
I have been using this app for several months. Hell, all year. Its fantastic. Ill post a link in a moment.
Im hoping threads THAT I ACTUALLY CREATE dont get deleted

Is that the same HellCat from the PSP Scene? If it is you guys have one hell of an asset there. Not that we are running short of good developers coming to Android.

Is anyone gonna wreck his head-hole for being off topic?
(probably actually belonged in off-topic thread but it is very useful/safe and themes&apps doesnt get seen....) (plus, i fell asleeo and never posted the link, lol there is no app in here)
Edit: i then realized after posting all that that my slack had been picked up,
Thanks.

Oh, I also heard nobody rocks a custom boot logo but me, =/ I hope thats not true, but if you need
Note:Will not work by itself on ICS, I didnt have it on GB so Im not sure on that..
Also by hellcat (not sure, Rain, probably. He's awesome)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.sgs2bootlogo
Pick your desired boot or charge screen image, crop it to your size
Press "Set As (whichever...)" THEN
This app isnt programmed for ICS on our variant, but it gets the job half done.
You will now have a ".lfs.tmp" on "/sdcard." Make a copy of your desired boot logo called "gaudi_bootimage.jpg" and overwrite the one in ".lfs.tmp"
Now you simply remove the ".tmp" from the name and merge it with "/mnt/.lfs"
Enjoy, it took me a while to notice this little workaround.

Im going to assume you are not being facetious and answer,
There are two apps linked from here, unrelated other than the creator, but both are really usefull.
If you mean the boot logo, you wouldnt need the app if you figured out how the app makes .lfs all nice and tame... thats a mean, bad folder! Lol. Hope that was what you meant.

kTool does all of those things no fuss/no muss.
Dont know why you'd mess with efs.... I wouldnt... I just figured i may as well,not leave just one function unsaid.

Help please.
Can anyone tell me the email address of the K-tool developer?

Anyone else see this?

I just followed link and found this going on in another Rom development. The fifth post is the one you want to check out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33673632
I'm not saying anything, just posting what i found.

Agreed, I always thought his posts were so similar but avoided passing judgment without knowing, but that screenshot proves it. It wouldn't be so bad if he would just own up to it instead of lying.

No one here wants him to quit developing.. But we want him test his roms himself and only build them if he owns the device.. And I'm sure the Devs here would appreciate it if he wouldn't pull things out of their roms and use it without permission

Speak for yourself. I'd love it if our dev section didn't have any garbage that bricks peoples phones. This guy's been on a roll for a while. Honestly I'd love it if he'd stop dev'ing it'd save people a lot of time.

+ a googleplex, this guy wants recognition without putting in work or recognizing anybody else's. He needs to stop pestering us and go get some psychological help.

So anyone know what happened to his "illusuon" ROM post? I was waiting for a mod but went to bed and when I woke up it was gone. I'm guessing he deleted it to avoid the ban hammer that was coming.

I was looking for it too. I think it should have been up so everybody can see it. It was a.nicr entertainmemt for a chance lol Lets just hope that he doesnt come back with another name.

[Q] XquiziT xD Rom

Hey, can someone answer this for me?
Why is "[ROM][21 Nov [UVDLJA v46] XquiziT xD - Aroma & Kitchen v11 - TMO ONLY!" say Thread Closed?

If i had to guess, it has something to do with what was in the last few posts in that thread. Hopefully the moderator will clarify in the near future what exactly is going on

He stole "kanged" work from other devs too, allegedly and I believe the others.

Ok, I don't know much but hopefully they get this solved I really like his ROM..

Why? He just updates his rom more commonly (all 800mb+) and breaks things a lot and steals others hard work without asking, or giving credit to them. (Allegedly), with proof, of course. I say use Frosty or Evil with the available themes in the themes and apps section. Xquizits roms always seemed okay... but too many broken things caused by pointless updates that are way too huge and should only require a seperate flashable 20mb zip.

I was with MIUI from Froyo but they are having problems with the JB, ok i will check them out. Which is the better of the 2?

Personal preferance. Try and see for yourself. they both feel extremely fast and I use seperate kernel usually so I can't attest to battery on either... just read the last 3-5 pages of each and make a decision that way.

Ok, Thanks

What sucks is that none posted a reason being closed. I think the community should know what's up. I think he thanked enough as he could on he's OP. If he missed someone then I personally would say sorry but he is awesome Dev. and if he missed someone, he's only human and forget what he put in your work sometimes.
I hope this gets resolved or at least someone explain why it's closed.
Remember "assume" always makes a A$$ of U and ME.

Yes I agree, I have been with his ROM since I stopped using MIUI and yesterday I was lossed when I saw the message stating that I was closed. I am hoping everything works out for him as well

There's a deference in using someones work and saying thanks to them, or giving credit, and stealing there work without asking and claiming it to be your own. Pretty much being a thief... If people were to donate to him cause of his rom that is wrongfully going to the person. EvilArt created hidden code and such in his work and he posted that XquiziT was using it in his roms and not giving credit. Other's have mentioned this as well about his roms. It's sad and sucks and I hope there was just some confusion, but evidence is evidence.

Another one gone because of freaking drama...

Yes I used the word "Wicked" in my Rom but nothing else. Wanam's 15 toggle code is where that word
came from a compare I did when my mod was fc'ing. I have done all my own mods why would I use Wicked's and the SystemUI.apk at that. Nothing special about that file and prob 85% or more of the S3 Roms are the same mods and would compare except the word "Wicked" that yes I included.
Anyway I will keep doing Roms for myself but will no longer be a part of XDA. Not because of XDA, because of what goes on there.
Thanks for all who supported me but as I have said before I take no donations as this is my fun and learning experience.
Thanks!

Well that sucks. I like Wild's ROMs and he may have took others work, but hell....the same code floats around from DEV to DEV anyway.
SN: Wicked ROM is actually pretty nice. I tried it once it was proven that Wild was stealing code from Evil. I think Wicked ROM needs inverted apps though. They make the ROMs like so much more classier!
Anyway, thanks Wild for all of your work and efforts. You put a lot of time into updating your ROMs and I'm sad to see you go bro.

Someone says that the rom is suspect and other donkeys go after.
Even analyzed the facts.

Bad for you, I will share only with people of Brazil.
It makes no difference to me whether or not the ROM will use.

Actually the rom you made is i9505. This is for m919 by the way.
Your locked post didn't really give alot of info.
Then you tell someone you don't have time to talk.

Because you're lazy and like most n00bs you want spoon feeding which is also not allowed.
What is best/smooth for me wont necessarily be smooth for you. "Best" is also subjective so all you're going to get is mixed opinions which makes the whole idea of topic useless which and just clutters up place if people are allowed to ask such a topic each time they want to flash their phone which is why these topics are not allowed on XDA.
If you want to find out which is best for you, try them and find out!
