You don't need a boot.img ... If you make a ROM with no boot.img, the kernel isn't overridden, and the person who flashes it stays with his previous kernel.

1. Yes
2. Apktool if you are a pro. Apk manager if you are a newb..
3. Remove seclauncher from system/app and put the apex apk over there.
4. Aroma is a complex shizz..

Just a heads up, when you re-pack a ROM with kitchen... If you get an error saying "header mismatch" while zipaligning, then know that your ROM will not boot.

Protip : stop using the kitchen. It's made for older devices!
