Thanks, it's not usefull for me but i like to know some cool things like that )

Thanks but really this should be under the general section. Its not android development.

wrong section.. this must be on app and theme.. but i give you thanks..

can this be recompiled to a FTF file again? I was thinking of a pre rooted FTF file.

Thanks

This is good tutorial. One question, after we extract to .ftf and .sin files, can we again compress it to .ftf file?

Thanks!

Is it possible to flash modified system.sin on locked bootloader even its packed to ftf again? Anyone tried this?

I think you can. We need to unlock bootlader for flash kernel. So flash system no need to unlock boot loader.

One question how do you make .sin file after extract it?

now we hane extracted system.how can we use it when its extracted.
any way to compress it?

please complete your guide.
thanks.

You can't create/repack a "system.sin" since it is proprietary file/format .
ftf file is just a zip file ...with .ftf extension instead .zip
( like .cbz for comics/Creader )

Thats why update.zip is used .
