==================
Code:
0) this rom can make use of a USB key to restore you prefs and install any provided apk
1) prepare your USB key with desired files, following this naming/structure convention:  

 USB KEY ROOT FOLDER:



    

  •          data.tar

      

    • can be created with the provided script backup_restore_scripts.zip
      • 

    • import and then run data_backup.sh using rom toolbox, and with your USB key plugged in.
      • 

    • (edit data.tar (the raw backup made by data_backup.sh) to only contain desired  folders) (useful for XBMC/KODI/TVMC/SPMC add-ons and settings restore) 
      • 

    

    • 



    

  •  /preinstall/mynamedoesnotmatter.apk
    • 

  • /preinstall/anynameaswell.apk
    • 

  • /preinstall/etc....apk

      

    • put all the apk you want to have installed during 1st boot  
      • 

    

    • 



    

  • /settings/com.android.settings_preferences.xml
    • 

  • /settings/accounts.db
    • 

  • /settings/wpa_supplicant.conf  
    • 



WHERE:
  "data.tar" is your backup TAR file of "/sdcard/Android/data/" application folders (XBMC/KODI for example), can be created with the provided script backup_restore_scripts.zip
"preinstall" folder contains the APKs you would like to have installed on 1st boot
"settings" folder contains your desired preferences files (UI,   accounts & Wifi are supported at the moment, see above naming   requirements)
==================
THESE IMGs ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR "STARTUP MODE"
==================
Code:
PHOENIXCARD CRASHES WHEN USING THIS MODE WITH ALL MY IMGs
TO FIX YOUR IMAGE FOR STARTUP MODE (BOOT FROM SD)
IN 3 STEPS:

Use imgRePacker_205 : 
1) drag, "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img" on "imgRePacker.exe". 
2) delete ROM draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.
3) drop your folder "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.dump" on "imgRePacker.exe".

If rom still does not boot from SDCard,
rebuild and image, reflash it to sdcard and try again,
2nd try worked for 2 users.

If problems with your SDCARD format it using - "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3"  (free tool, google it), then try again.
