It is not necessary...initramfs is optional but fact is most kernel has it.so we may have kernel without initramfs..n i tried that tool though but it throws lots of errors- "Malformed number"...i don't know if gta managed without errors.

EDIT:
Hmm...gta's log shows same "Malformed numbers" errors..
 
we must ask the dev of that script . To confirm does it work on non-samsung kernels
