[ROM] - Custom Rom Honeycomb 3.2.1 - firmware_3.2.79 , ext4 for SDE

Hi , greeting everyone !
Before appearing ICS, I made a small update custom, including small changes in the original firmware 3.2.79.
This release is permanently ROOT, busybox is installed proper and is unique , Su and Superuser is up to date ! At the bottom you have Update of this version (activated vibrator and fixed adb command).
Included : 24/01/12
- new boot animation;
- battery percentage, and other new Icon;
- several applications in addition ( office free, flashplayer 11,adobe air.....+++);
- windows animations;
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc sound and other stuff.....
Now we have latest update of Su binary v3.0.3.2 , Superuser v3.0.7(41), unique busybox v1.19.3 installed into system/xbin ;
There is no need to install busybox.apk or busybox installer.apk from market, busybox is already installed into /system/xbin/
Also included some tweaks : - increase sdcard speed, - managemant ram memory....and increase reaction speed !
These are the files you need for install this Custom Rom :
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/archive/tOxGcPqa/archos.html , http://hotfile.com/dl/143897684/d5edc5d/archos.7z.html
- zImage => http://www.4shared.com/file/KXp8bLDa/zImage.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/144036333/e7d0e75/zImage.html
- initramfs.cpio.gz => http://www.4shared.com/zip/HnEobpnG/initramfscpiogz.html
How install :
- because the file structure is changed , you need perform a clean installation : Recovery -> Format System -> Reformat Devices...-> I Understand -> ok -> copy firmware_archos_it4.aos into new driver -> ok. After reboot copy archos.ext4 into Internal Storage ( data/media/), reboot into recovery , Recovery System-> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Kernel ( for boot only to SDE) -> I Understand -> Ok -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs -> copy zImage and initramfs into new driver -> Ok ! that's all ....now you have clean install custom rom
Solved - md5sum into superuser when you try to update the su binary , now check md5sum OK!
I did not managed any version of .squashfs because android compiler can't install busybox into system/xbin ( .squashf is NOT RW ), this is why I presented only version of ext4 ...Good Luck !
****************************************************************
Update : 27/01/12
- now >adb shell - fixed and enabel vibrator
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/zip/dOscQIvA/archos_up.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/143982123/b452656/archos_up.zip.html

Quick question, and I appologize if this is the wrong place for this, I'm currently running your 3.2.78 (ext4). Do I need to update the stock firmware directly from archos first or can I just flash this 3.2.79 rom over what I currently have. Also I "removed android kernel" earlier to always boot rooted if that matters. So what's the best way of going about this?

You can try this:
-get a copy of busybox and symlinks from a working rom (make a .tar or .tar.gz of G9's [email protected])
-copy busybox+symlinks in appropriate directories and chmod them (just to be sure)
-mksquashfs
This *should* work (I've messed around a bit with squashfs on another device)

First custom rom i've seen. Great ! Thank you very much. I will try it later

First thank you surdu_petru Every new rooted/modified rom, I need to start tablet with "original" rom to copy the ext rom into the tablet, and every time, restarting for the first time after the update from sde with the "new" rom, I have SuperUser with empty list (and I have to re-add all the programs in my list). Is there a way to copy the ext rom without booting with original rom? thank you and sorry for my poor english

Not yet, accessing /data/media requires a working system (adb is not present in SDE/recovery)
However you should be able to update using "previous" custom firmware- system filename is different

install directly over the version rooted 3.2.79.
Work good. =)
Boot animation - maybe simply text android install? =) Can i change it himself?

OK thanks !....but do not want to complicate ... I let the compiler to perform, if he says he can not because I have not rw rights !...I left it ..... I know that there are solutions, but leave it in for users !

In my builds, I added a mechanism to do that, the idea was to add a ".update" to filename to have the initrd replace the old image with the ".update" image before mounting and booting.
Surdu_petru, I don't know if you did the same in your initrd. As gen_scheisskopf mentioned in the sde thread, wiping dalvik-cache is probably a good idea if build changes, it could be done silently there or asked with a menu ? And a common file naming convention between us would help, I saw that you use the archos.img, we could define this as a standard ?

Ok I know what you mean...and yes ! for Stock firmware_3.2.79 (files.ext4/squqsh).update exist into initramfs, but because I made ​​some changes in directory structure into Custom Rom , now .update it's not perform .
Ok it's very good idea , for future I'll rename (archos.ext4/squashfs).update
Thanks for your advice !

How did you get more ram? I don't like the battery icons, so I'll stay on stock rooted, but how did you get more?

Hi !
Everyone is free to choose what version of software like.... , that is why I tried to diversify the range of Archos firmware ....everyone is free to choose currently between four versions of software released ( Original Stock Rom firmware3.2.8, Root Rom firmware3.2.80 , Custom Rom firm. 3.2.80 and Plasma Active,Thanks @LeTama ).
Of course expected and welcomed other versions of Custom Rom including various stuff !!!
On the other side, I have answered the same question about ram in the previous version ( Honeycomb Custom Rom 3.2.79 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462726 )
Have a nice day and Good Luck !

hi, sorry for my noob questions. I have used gen_scheisskopf's initramfs. After the first "long" boot, with pleasure, I saw that the "wipe-dalvik.update" file was deleted automatically now is necessary reflash your initramfs surdu_petru? are there problem leaving gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and rebooting without "wipe-dalvik.update" file? thank you
p.s. new icons for me are always better on every new version

Ok ! no need to use another initramfs !
And less beware :
- if you plan to do a clean installation ( go to Format System, Reformat Device...OK! and reinstall archos_firmware_it4.aos , than copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage data/media/archos.ext4.update, reboot and into recovery copy the two files that are in drive.zip zImage , initramfs - into new drive ) - for this you don't need gen_scheisskopf's initramfs ;
- if you plan to do just update over the original firmware or rooted firmware you need just copy archos.ext4.update on Internal Storage (data/media/archos.ext4.update) and into recovery choose gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage ;
I think you're better now...

Thanks for all your work! Just so I know, which file can I get rid off after flashing? I had your .79 custom rom before. Can I delete the archos.ext4.update file ?
By the way is the wipe Dalvik-cache from Supercharger OK?

If you are still in Custom Rom 3.2.79 you need to push archos.ext4.update into data/media and in recovery copy gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage into new drive ! whith this you'll not lose your work , and Yes after flash you can delete archos.ext4.update from data/media/...Good Luck!

There is no need to worry about .update files, they are removed automatically.
I'll check Supercharger dalvik-cache wipe later.
BTW there is no need to flash suduru_petru init if you did flash modified one, functionality is the same, modified init works stable on my G9.

Flash sites not working
Hi
with this version of root I am unable to get Flash 11 to work (previous root is O.K.). Sites prompt for Flash to be installed although the software is installed. I can't uninstall as it seems to be part of the kernal. Installing Flash 10.3 allows Flash sites to work until a reboot disables it again. Any ideas.
best regards
Bill

Flash is not a part of kernel or system, it is a separate application.
Wipe dalvik-cache and try again- here is info.
If this doesn't help- reinstall flash

You can do that : navigate into /system/app/flashplayer.apk and try to reinstall it , it's work fine....you can do the same with...adobe_air.apk and BooksTablet.apk
flashplayer and adobe_air are just preinstalled in this custom rom .
Thanks , Good Luck!

Hi
thanks for your quick reply
I'am unable to delete Flashplayer, if I tap on the .apk I am prompted to re-install Flashplayer this resolves the issue until I reboot. Is this a permissions problem, how can I check.
I downloaded root explorer changed permissions on flashplayer.apk deleted it and re-installed from market working O.K. now.

Greetings, surdu_petru,
I recently installed this custom rom, into my Archos 80G9, and I have a question:
is there anyway to disble/enable the power supplied to de usb connector, in where the 3g Usb Dongle is connected, I use this port to supply power to a small fan, in order to cool down the tablet, and i would like to have control over it, before i rooted, I could controlled it by, just toggling the 3g switch on/off.
thank you in advance, for any help you could give me,

Because no changes are made ​​in this direction in the original software, I think you can control as before toggling 3G switch ON/OFF !

Thank you, for your fast response, right now I have the switch in the off position, and still have the fan on, it could be the rooting process? , I rooted first with your other post for this version of the firmware, any help would be appreciated.....

So you recommend a clean install? Does this mean removing the kernel or formatting the whole drive?

A clean installation is the best and safest method of installing an operating system....to performe clean instal go to Format System->Reformate Device...-> I understand OK!, after that you need install original .aos file, and than flash archos.ext4.update. ( and yes ..will be completely formatted !)
And if you have important data and you can not delete, than you can install over previous versions, but you need initframs with removal Dalvik-Cache mechanism ( see initramfs posted [email protected]_scheisskopf).

one question... putting this one on top of your 4.0.4 rooted wipes apps and other user content?
just to check if i need to do a adicional backup
cumps

thanks surdu! you are so fast!! btw, will the OC kernel of letama works on this?

thanks surdu! very speedy

Thanks! I can't to get my RMA's tablet back from Archos.

puh, very fast !!!!!!!
thank's
(no problems until now. works fine)

Tell me I'm wrong.
In the midst of trying to install this firmware, I did something stupid, and may have bricked my tablet.
I did a "full reinitialization" (not through SDE) within the stock firmware after installing the custom ROM, rebooted without letting it finished, and thinking nothing was wrong, I removed the Android kernel. Now it won't go past the Archos logo, and I can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Is there any way to fix it, or am I boned?

Hi!
You can try so : press power for 10 sec. until the green led light goes out ....now : connect your device with USB cable into desktop/laptop and while you press volume down , press also power and wait for expected to enter into recovery (SDE) ....here you can do Format System->Reformat Device -> I understand -> ok! and copy original ICS 4.0.5 .aos file in the new driver that will appear! Good luck!

THANK YOU. Oh man, you are a lifesaver. Hopefully this can be of use to someone else if they decide to pull a genius move like I did.

[Q] [RESOLVED] DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf replaced by the original when phone restarts

Hi All,
Last week I bought this HTC one, after using iphones for many years. First I loved the phone and I was so annoyed after realizing that it doesn't support my native language "Sinhalese".
So after some trouble, I rooted the phone and replaced the DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf with a Sinhala ttf file which I took from a Samsung phone. I was using Root Explorer App. Wallah!! it was rendering everything fine. :laugh:
The happiness did not last long, after I realized that every time I restart the phone DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf gets replaced with the original. So everytime I restart, I have to replace the file.
Would anyone be able to give a solution for this? Top of my head, would flashing the phone by clockworkmod with a .zip with my DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf fix my problem?
Also what's the reason for this? My friend's got a Samsung S4 with fresh Kit Kat installed in it. And it doesn't do this.
Thanks in advance for your opinion guys.

I'm still using the stock ROM with OS ver 4.3. You mean flash the entire rom after changing the DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf in the ROM zip file?
Can't I just flash the Fallback font without flashing the entire ROM?

did you unlock bootloader and flash a custom rom, or just unlock bootloader?
you need to have a rooted rom to change stuff like fonts etc. if you want the changes to stick.

Flash with a fresh new ROM
Since still I'm only one week after buying the phone, bit reluctant to flash it with a fresh new ROM

Phone is rooted

Yes I have unlocked the phone and rooted the phone after installing TeamWin Recovery. So now my rom is rooted. But it still has the stock ROM in it.
would you be able to explain me bit more on what you meant by
change the font in the rom zip

you meant download a customer ROM. edit it with my new font and flash entire ROM? or correct me if I'm wrong.
thanks

RESOLVED
I was able to resolve this issue easier than expected. This is what I did.
1. Boot the phone in to the Recovery mode( I have TWRP recovery installed)
2. Connected the phone to PC
3. From PC command prompt access a phone shell using I]adb shell[/I]
4. mount /system
5. Changed the properties like user, group and access permissions of my DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf to match the file in ROM's /system/fonts
6. Copy my DroidSansFallback-htc.ttf which has sinhala to /system/fonts( I made sure my original file was backed up)
7. umount /system
8. Exit from recovery and reboot
All works well :laugh::laugh:

glad you got it sorted.
there is a difference between being unlocked and running a rooted rom. unlocked means you can install a custom recovery which then means you can flash roms. the rom contains 'files' which provide the ability to change things, which unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery do not. if you were running a custom rom, simply replacing the font using root explorer would have worked the way you wanted without having to use adb commands.

I believe the phone is rooted.

thanks for your comment. from all these I'm learning because i'm little new to android.
However I still believe my ROM OS is rooted. Because
1. After installing the TWRP custom recovery I installed SuperUser.zip by Koush to root the ROM
2. When I run root explorer it allows me to replace files into System folders with root access( Super User).
HTC has their own HTC Sense thing running on top of Android. Can that be replacing the system folders every-time it restarts? which is not happening in other phones.

Yes I would have fixed but I was only running my stock OS rooted.

you need an insecure kernel .. thats why he's recommending you just flash a rom, it's much simpler

But I had a insecure kernal. That's why I had root access when I was in adbd shell and it allowed me to replace files into /system.

How to solve random reboots and other issues in Lollipop ROMs in S2 hd lte

UPDATED
Since these issues have been fixed in newer builds but as a s2 hd lte users, we have no option but to use older builds which have many issues. I found a workaround for them. If you are having wifi or other radio related issues, contact the ROM developer. This post can't help you. Flashing latest baseband helped me and could work well for you as well. Lets talk about two of the most common bug that haunts our device
1 Apps auto closing->( only for LMY48G builds,if you have newer builds,just flash gapps and reboot. to check go to about phone-> build number)
This is a webview related bug.
Download latest gapps from opengapps.org.
I prefer aroma installer as smaller packages don't have webview included,which will make the bugs worse.
Flash gapps. Dont forget to select 'android system webview' from the aroma installer.
Download the zip file from the
link
https://mega.nz/#!0d5Tiaja
Decryption key !JAG5Im-T75YN1CKIOiOcyDDaBH2ILD6dzwxw4xnhrBc
Extract "libwebviewchromium.so" and "libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so"
It is taken from stock samsung ROM and only works on armv7 devices.
Copy them to /system/libs using ESfile explorer or any other root explorer.
Overwrite the original file if asked.
give permission (-rw-r-r) to both file
Reboot to recovery
Flash this file "cm12.1 android system webview" from this thread(only for cm12.1, will cause bootloops in Xenon hd and resurrection remix)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/themes-apps/mod-google-android-webview-t3109216
Apps will now no longer auto close in your face without warning
((-> After testing for a month, I concluded that these steps are optional and use only if you want to have google android webview instead of cm12.1's built in 'android system webview'))
2) Now the most important part, random reboots.
This was reported on earlier builds of lollipop by many users.This is mostly caused by minfree that android uses to manage memory. If you navigate to sys/modules/lowmwemorykiller/parameters you can see 4 or 5 files. two of those files have wrong permissions. They are "adj" and "minfree".
If you give them (rw-r-r) permissions, you can adjust minfree values. the stock values are too aggressive and would cause constant reboots, freezes. Download romtoolbox, navigate to task manager, swipe left. you can choose to use any presets. i use 8,12,24,60,70,80 as minfree values.
Dont check "auto apply on boot" because you need to repeat this whole process after a reboot as those two files"adj and minfree" will be replaced from boot.img on boot by kern
Permanent fix: unpack boot.img. Navigate to ramdisc and open init.rc file in notepad. Find the line
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
Change both values to 0644
save and close
Repack boot.img
Put it back inside the zipfile using winrar or use flashify from playstore to update boot.
I found tool to unpack qualcomm boot.img from this website. Full credits to the developer who made this tool.
http://www.droidbeep.com/how-to-unpa...-img-qualcomm/
download ROM toolbox and apply your preferred values
3. Low storage and optimizing apps(configuring ART compiler)
After google updated android runtime from JIT to ART, apps take up huge space and "optimizing app" takes forever. But there is workaround for that too.
1)Open build.prop in any text editor.
2) find these two lines:
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=........(blah blah)
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=...(blah blah)
3) Change both of these lines to
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=speed
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=Verify-none
If these lines doesn't exist, in your build.prop,you have to add them manually
4) save your build.prop file
5) reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache
After this check your storage space, You will have plenty of storage left and optimizing apps should be faster. It works just like old JIT compiler from older android versions.
if this doesn't work for you, you have to edit these same lines from default.prop by unpacking boot.img

I have fixed this issue by editing init.rc inside boot.img, but i dont know if i should post it here or not.

Please extract Boot.img from the zip file and send it. I don't have boot.img for e120s, or i can tell you how to do it yourself if you are interested.

Tell me how, I'll try to do it myself.
I will be very grateful

any way to fix wifi & soft reboot on e120s ???
if you need log or any thign about my devices i will link it to you!!

You can try wiping phone efs through odin in order to fix radio issues
1 Download stock jb rom
2 Check "phone efs clear". This is most important.
3 Click pda
4 click start
5 wait for phone to boot up
6 go to settings->software update to check if you are running latest jb build. Soft reboots and radio issues are usually caused by old baseband version.
7 Proceed with usual old way to install lollipop.
This way odin will wipe your efs settings to rebuild from scratch.

still ploblem ??? :? wait how to clear efs
at first time i have checked this box but failded ,

you need Stock jb rom to do this. I also had this issue in e120l, but clearing phone efs fixed radio issues for me. you need odin3v 1.85 and samsung usb drivers.
You can find it alongside " phone bootloader update". Be careful not to select this one by accident.

Once again, I read the instructions .. understand. But in the archive libraries are no libvebvievhromium .so file. "There's a file" libwebviewchromium_loader. "This is critical?

you get "libWebviechromium .so" file while installing gapps package. Go to opengapps.org and download aroma installer.
there are two files in the archive i uploaded, libwebviwechromium_loader.so and libwebviewplatsupport.so. You need to extract and replace those files in system-> libs after flashing gapps package. The built in webview will cause random apps shutdowns. this file is critical. You need libwebviewchromium_loader to start webview app. your system will not function properly without it.

have you checked debugging option from developer options before doing this? Make sure your data cable is not faulty. please make sure you have a backup of efs partition if you are having network issues with all ROMs. try hellcat and stock based roms for testing to make sure you are not having this issue only on lollipop or kitkat. Also try to wipe boot from recovery menu before flashing.

I also had this the same issue.
There is a link to latest baseband in hellkat thread. Thats where i got it. Sadly Its only for E120L
Search the hellkat thread to see if there is one for e120s as well.
I obviously didn't look further as i don't own e120s.
