No custom rom for the moment. Mike said that he made a recovery mode, let's see what will happen in the next version and if it will be possible at that moment.

In fact, you can mod the current firmware if you know what to do... I activated the software keys on mine (you know, the home, back, applist). You just have to mount the img file, or use adb and you can try to change things.

Mounting the img file needs Linux (you need something like mount -t ext2 -o loop polishblood_Nightlyi1.img ../the_folder_you_created_for_mountpoint) but if you just want to make smaller modifications (eg. replacing one apk, or editing some configfile) adb on Windows is enough. If you use my kernel then you will have write access to /system, too.
As a "proof of concept" I "ported" a firmware from Galaxy S (AOKP). You can experiment with it, just replace the polisblood_Nightly1.img (and preferably replace data.img and cache.img with the original ones.)
Here you are:

WinHex can open and extract files/folders from *.img ...
https://dms.ospserver.net/v1/device...?pkgID=FW-20120626-14658&service=fumo&wrkID=W
To build... not tested yet... But I think also more Windows Tools exists...
But for starting research WinHex is enough.
Best Regards
Thanks For your Replies

There are no such tools... You can find scripts to extract the initramfs but that's all. You have to compile your kernel to make real changes.

For all who want desperately to make the Dual speakers of LWW work in the new ICS Roms (FXP Cm9) etc, Please REPLACE or ADD the following files (attached) in the zip file of the respective Rom that you are using in the CORRECT PATHS, before flashing that Rom in CWM. The paths are already given in the "RAR" archive, but for your convenience, I'm writing them once again.
For a CWM Flashble Zip (Dual Speakers and X-loud) For FXP CM9 Check ATTACHMENT....Flash It After flashing CM9....in CWM...
File Paths for Dual Speakers :
/system/bin/mediaserver
/system/lib/hw/audio.primary.default.so
/system/lib/hw/audio.primary.msm7x30.so
/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.default.so
/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.msm7x30.so
/system/lib/liba2dp.so
/system/lib/libaudioeq.so
/system/lib/libaudioflinger.so
/system/app/AudioEffectService.apk
/system/etc/audio_effects.conf
/system/etc/permissions/com.sonyericsson.audioeffectif.xml
/system/framework/semc_audioeffectif.jar
/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
Hope this makes your ICS experience even more 'bug'-less.
CREDITS :
Lasan(FrogyFurnetal) (For the files) , Expeacer (For telling which files to replace or add) , ramezzidane (For the zip) and obviously to all the other Developers for making the amazing builds in which we can try this.
This is experimntal....Dont try if u can't take risks...
Confirmed to work with FXP cm9...So, it does not work on MiniCm or ExMIUI due to different building sources...
For a CWM flashable zip by 'someguyfromhell' check THIS out and post your findings and issues with different Roms. This zip is confirmed to work on GB CM7. The flashable zip in not for ICS Cm9.
Are you tried it with MiniCMSandwich or ExMIUI? Because when we tried last time, the phone don't boot...

Should I create a CWM-flashable .zip file?
Also, your first post says to replace these files before flashing the ROM. That will not work, because ROM installation replaces these files, causing the dual speakers to not work.
These files need to be replaced after ROM installation.

Video player most likely won't work- it seems that there are other files in system it depends on ("native linux" binaries and libs)
For other apps- can't say for sure, I don't know how much they depend on framework
if we can get the Apk,then we can determine if it work or not.....

One note- ICS firmwares use modified/incompatible squashfs header which unsquashfs can't handle. Just mount unpacked .suqshfs as loop if such problem occurs
I extracted the code for the most Archos apps awhile ago. I can tell you they all rely on Archos frameworks(starting with mediacenter which handles video+music and ending up with a systemmonitor), so you need to get that on your Prime first. And you shouldn't forget you can get some signing problems when compiling them.
P.S. G8 apks are more easy, but they all still use archos frameworks.
Hello,
I want to make a custom ROM based on a stock i9001 ROM. However when I extracted the tar file there were IMG and ext4 files. I know how to make a rom via cygwin when i have: 1) system folder
2) META-INF folder
And 3) boot.img
I don't know what to do to the stock ROM
(.tar) to be like this

Newbie here---
- I have downloaded the HTC stock RUU for my device.
- I used Android Kitchen cygwin to extract the files, setup the working folder.
- Added root permissions,BusyBox
- Built the rom from working folder.

What did i miss or DO wrong here??
Where in these steps worked flawlessly when i took a custom rom? What else should be done here?? Help would be Appreciated!!!

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

Maybe "Total Commander" does the trick? There is a free Demo Version available. TC helped me out a lot of times when nothing else worked...
First you need to run s2img (not sure about the name) it is part of the CM tree. After that you can mount it as a loopback device.
out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img system.img system.img.raw
mount -o loop system.img.raw /mnt
already done from beginning first Rom was out....
