The best way to learn this is to pull apart a already created zip and see what is done. I involves a few lines in the updater script and boot.img with kernel and recovery

You could customize your phone as you seem fit, and then do a nandroid backup which will save it as a zip file, which others could then flash as a custom rom via clockworkmod
Thank you!

Each ROM files have it's own decryption/extraction algorithm. I've talk to someone XDA member who has able to decrypt LG ROM, it depend on .dll included.
But because he doesn't have P970 so he only give me his program coded with C# and explain the method. That time I'm trying to decrypt LG Marquee's ROM, but no luck. And because it's not compatible with P970, then I quit

that is all i can propose as i canno't see correctly the attached image.it is tool little for my eyes.
hope it would help.
DSIXDA'S Android Kitchen does it this automatically.
when working folder has been setup:
0 > 12 > w (to extract boot.img)
then you will get BOOT-EXTRACED, inside there will be a ramdisk folder, once finished editing enter "b" to build the boot.img again

Multivindow needs to be ported, code changed to be usable for our phone. So making flashable zip will not help you at all.

Flashing Stuff

Hi guys,
the noob strikes again! :silly:
Well I want to flash stuff but I have some doubt on how to do it. For example on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219250, theres three choices of download, Recovery tar, Recovery zip CWM and Recovery image. So does it mean I can flash it on whatever way I want?
Same happens in the Perseus Kernel thread as there's a tar version and a CWM version.
Sorry for the noobness but I prefer to ask than to do something I'll regret!
Thanks in advance.
You've got 3 options because we've got 3 most popular methods of flashing:
1. Odin - uses .tar files to flash
2. Mobile Odin Pro - can use .img files
3. Custom Recovery - CWM .zip files

FLashing stuff:::
Hey guys,
another noob here
I want to know more about flashing.
For example_ flash the GAPPS on the Rom, and there's a new update of them, do i need to delete the old GAPSS and THEN install the new version?
Or i just flash it over the older version. I don't know how this works. Can somebody get me a link about it or explain ?
thanks very much..... CHeers from Portugal .

You don't need to delete the old gapps, just flash the new over the old. Just make sure they are the right gapps. Usually the dev has a link in his thread.

Good day Sir, thank you for your response.
I'm sorry sir but I'm not familiar with boot.img. How will I do it sir?
Edit: I have research and found out that I can find the boot.img inside the rom zip file, do I need to flash this img file first before flashing the whole zip file? can I flash img via cwm recovery? or some apps? or via fastboot? sorry for the questions sir, hehe
Thanks!

Make sure you already unlocked your bootloader, extract the boot.img , put it in firmware folder in flashtool, and flash it, or you can extract the boot.img in your SD card, install recovery tool app and flash it using this app (select flash kernel and choose boot.img)
