1. burn dmg imagefile from retail cd on USB
$dmg2img snowleopard.dmg snowleopard.img
$hexdump -C snowleopard.img | grep "48 2b 00 04"
(convert 00000400_hex into decimal = 1024, then subtract 1024 from this decimal number to calculate offset, which is 000000 in this case) 
$sudo losetup -o 000000 /dev/loop0 snowleopard.img
$sudo mkdir /media/userID/test
$sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/loop0 /media/userID/test/

prepare a 8GB+ usb drive, format using gparted, give MBR scheme, give 8GB partition for image formatted as hfs+, mount at /media/userID/imgTarget/

$sudo cp -r /media/userID/test/* /media/userID/imgTarget/

2. sudo cat /path/to/source/sda2.ext4-ptcl-image.gz.* | sudo gzip -d -c | sudo partclone.restore -C -s - -o /path/to/target/sda2.img

3. sudo e2fsck -f partclone_extfs.img

2. combine image
(had to install partclone before this step, sudo apt-get install partclone)

sudo cat sda2.ext4-ptcl-image.gz.* | sudo gzip -d -c | sudo partclone.restore -C -s - -o /path/to/target/sda2.img

3. mount

sudo mount -o loop -t ext4 /path/to/source/sda2.img /media/name/target/folder/

How to open and screw back in macbook pro properly

http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1263708

Screwing back the bottom panel of macbook pro after RAM/HDD upgrade or replacement.

The screws can stick out and not go in all the way because six screws not along the hinge edge goes in angle.

http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT1270/HT1270_1a-mbp_13-remove_back_screws-001-en.png

Start from left top corner, then right bottom corner, going clockwise until finished.

Tightening them without making such 'star patter' may misalign the panel and screws could stick out.

instructions are right on the aokp platform manifest page-

Init repo only for a particular device :
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr2 -g all,-notdefault,<devicename>,<vendorname>

for example, to init only trees needed to build mako :
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr2 -g all,-notdefault,mako,lge
