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

[surdu_petru]

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 !

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?

 

[gen_scheisskopf]

I did not managed an version of .squashfs because I can't install busybox into system/xbin ( .squashf is R/O ), this is why I presented only version of ext4 ...Good Luck !

You can try this:
-get a copy of busybox and symlinks from a working rom (make a .tar or .tar.gz of G9's system@ext4)
-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

 

[hitman72]

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

 

[gegabit]

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 !

Sure, you can change what you want, system is RW, but attention ! do it carefully !

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 !
