Hi,
I want to try L developer preview with multirom, but I need to convert the factory image to a normal zip which can be flashed trough recovery.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to do that?

I thought that someone mentioned yesterday in one of the 1,000s of I/O threads, that MultiRom wouldn't be supported yet bc it is kernel based or someting like that. Not sure what the kernel is on the L, but you may want to ask the MultiRom devs if this is even possible at this point before you flash and get into toruble. Saves you some headache, hopefully.
