..if you have problem ....you need first ->format device : into SDE -> Format System ->Reformat Device -> I Understand -> Ok ! and copy here original firmware 4.0.5 firmware_archos_it4.aos;
...now copy ICS@BLUE in Internal Storage and go to SDE -> Recovery System -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel -> I Understand -> OK ! --> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs - > copy here zImage and initramfs -> OK ! ...wait for reboot !!! that it's all - ....should be work very well now . Good luck .:rolleyes:

Hi m8

here is was i did now:

- reformat device
- copy original ICS on the devise
- run ICS first setups (calibration and stuff)
- activated USB debugging
- sent new firmware via adb push...
- restarted into Developer Edition Menue
- removed Android Kernel (it took only half a second i didn't get any feedback)
- installed new Kernel and Initramfs by copying the 2 files onto the device
- rebooted

This happend:
- android logo was shown longer than usual
- then the animated BLUE logo apeared
- system started

Again it failed.
I am not root.

hm...
[EDIT]: just to be sure: there is no google account necessary (for the preparation of the 31 apps at the start of your ROM)?

OK!

First ...be sure to download well ICS@BLUE = 402.653.184 bytes;
...and if you follow all the steps carefully......is impossible to not work !
...by the way you can download initramfs from here => https://hotfile.com/dl/153706683/271baf7/initramfs.cpio.lzo.html ( initramfs = 1.236.672 bytes) ;
.......and zImage from here => https://hotfile.com/dl/153706862/ec22125/zImage.html or here => http://www.2shared.com/file/41fHVVS7/zImage.html ( zImage = 4.345.764 bytes);
With this initramfs and zImage it should be work also very well !!!

Reboot the tablet, it should solve this.

Hi!

YES , you are right !

After installation requires a reboot ( to enable all the stuff !!! ).


- it's mentioned in first post !!! ;)

May be we need to make again a separate item (post) that explain step by step even for the most incompetent, HOW TO pre-root, enable SDE, install root version, install custom rom !!! ...but all this is already done !

If you have time, please gen_scheisskopf , can you make again a NEW POST , to explain step by step and understandable ( clear and more detailed !) all this steps ?

- I for one, I'm tired of explaining the same thing a thousand times trivial !!!

- It seems that Quinny899's post "howto" & Shano56's post"howto" are not enough !

    Hi , greeting everyone !


    I am pleased to present my new Custom Rom - ICS@BLUE_V01 ( Beta) - based on Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.5(4.0.3)...

    This release is permanently Rooted, it's Deodexed...and also Busybox is already installed !

    Included : 25/03/12

    - new boot animation;
    - battery percentage, and other new Icon;
    - several applications in addition ( Office Free, Root-Browser free, Terminal , Chrome_Beta, FaceLock and ....++);
    - enabled init.d for run scripts ;
    - windows animations;
    - increase sdcard speed;
    - zipaling for all apk in /data/app/*;

    In the near future :

    - preinstalling V6_Supercharger;
    - enabled FaceLock ;
    - other stuff to improve performance ;
    - update ....


    How to install :

    Since version 4.0.5 - now we have an alternative to transfer ( file -> archos.ext4, archos.ext4.update, archos.squashfs ) into device.
    Once I entered into SDE , to transfer file archos.ext4.update in Internal Storage ...now we need to choose : Export Data Partition <=> /data ....and for 8G & 16G -> just we need to copy this file into /media directory ! ( Precaution : - choose Export Data Partition only when you are connected to a desktop/laptop running Ubuntu ! - otherwise Windows will ask for formatting the partition ....and if you choose YES, than you'll lose all into device, equivalent with ReFormat Device ! )
    After this step ....we need choose into SDE -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs - to copy here zImage and initramfs !

    But we can flash this Custom Rom as usual if you have windows PC ( copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage or /data/media/ or /mnt/storage/) - than into SDE -> choose Flash Kernel and Initramfs -> here you need to copy zImage and initramfs !

    For beginners : you can find installation details here ! => Thanks @Shano56 => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542058

    The file you need to install : ICS@BLUE_V01 (Beta) is in archive ICS@BLUE_V01.zip and you can download for free here ==>> https://hotfile.com/dl/150205007/141675e/ICSBLUE_V01.zip.html

    zImage and Initramfs have not been modified, then you can download from here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560211

    After installation requires a reboot ( to enable all the stuff !!! ).


    Unfortunately this project remains currently in the beta ! I have a lot of work to it...but I hope to come back with an update a little more gratifying !!!
    On the other hand I think is pretty good move, and you can use it without FC or any error ! I tested almost all functions and respond well to all ( of course not yet Games and other .+++) .

    Bootanimation :

    ( Not need to install : Superuser.apk and BusyBox.apk from the Market - they are already installed and updated , latest : Superuser - v.3.0.7(41), busybox - v1.19.3, su - v3.0.3.2 )


    This Custom Rom works also on HDD model !

    THANKS to @djnilse for Root_Browser Free Edition and for future collaboration, and not least the Great Master LeTama for your help !!! :D

    With respect,

    How to check if init.d works on every boot and if all apk into /data/app/* were zipaligned with function zipalign ?


    To have self control I added a text file into /data/app/ => named "zip_align.txt" ...you can open it with Root-Browser and take a look into it .....you'll see began operation time , state applications directory /data/app/ and End date of operation !
