I can't answer your question, but I will admit to being confused by the .md5 files in the repository I saw - in my experience a .md5 file has always been a very small text file which contains little more than the md5 checksum of the file or files with which it associated.

Exactly. I don't know the project here but you shouldn't need to do anything with an md5 file other than verify the files downloaded correctly

Can you go into a little more detail in what you're trying to accomplish?

The md5 part is a checksum (safety measure to make sure your download isn't corrupt) the Odin flash-able file it is part of should be a .tar compressed file.

but is says its a .md5... whatever anyways do you know how i can deodex it?

 

[Codegerm]

That just means it has the checksum safety you would do it like you would a zip file. the archive contains all the same files inside it. I think there is a guide on making your own tar files on the SXTP site.

Yep I was right. Hope this helps you.

anyone????
even xda doesnt know... :'(

here is how to extract the files from a tar/md5

Which ROM you looking to do this to? It may have been done already.

There is a deodex GC01 ROM on XDA

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214107

It is using the GB27 repack (first one I think), but you could flash in the stock kernel or the new GC01 with recovery that is out.

I know it is involved process playing with tar files. their structure is important for flashing to work properly. That along with CWM type recovery is why most custom ROMs are zip format.

you have to mod some files in META-INF folder

Did you know the app Tegrak overclock will let you overclock on the stock kernel? I use it, and in the next version of the Recovery kernels I am quite sure they will put in the governors and overclock ability

1- Yes I can.
2- I'm by no means experienced with kernel programming but I do think that before you go in to deeply, you may want to start by: taking a look at the source of some common Linux tools and gradually move on to reading the code of the kernel. Maybe find something easy to fix and submit a patch for it. It'll take a while to understand even parts of the kernel but the journey will be worth it if your goal is mod kernels.

Sorry for late reply. I'm not always around the forums. :beer:
