AnyKernel for ThunderBolt

NOTE: This is a template update.zip for kernel developers to release their kernels. It is how I'm now releasing mine.

As some of you know, and others don't, every kernel release out there, including mine, for the ThunderBolt flashes an entire boot image each time you flash a kernel. This is fine, but it over-writes the ramdisk which destroys any tweaks the ROM developer or you may have done. With the kernel releases I've done for other platforms, I've been able to use the AnyKernel updater from Koush, which creates the boot image on the fly.

I've finally got the AnyKernel updater working on the ThunderBolt, so I figured I'd post it here. Thanks goes to XBOCT at XDA, he's the one that fixed unpackbootimg, I found it in this Desire HD kernel thread.

This should be Kernel Manager compliant, since it includes and uses flash_image.


Enjoy,

Z
