Hey Guys,
This is a port from an Xperia X8 MIUI Port, which is EXTREMELY buggy, if you are not very experienced in flashing then i urge you not to flash this ROM. I am not responsible if you brick your phone when flashing this ROM, so don't complain to me if you do
Okay the current release's are very very very buggy , we have only just managed to get adb working in the last hour. If you are interested in helping to develop this rom then feel free to download it. If you are looking for a fully functioning rom then they're are plenty others throughout the forum not here
Link to Current ROM ( really not ready for anything atm, unless you want to help dev, don't bother flashing )
http://www.mediafire.com/?reco2eej12a1w Use current version stated in OP. (Build0007 up tonight.. hopefully)
Installation.
1. Wipe of all (even if coming from previous installation)
2. Select Hero-MIUI_Alpha..
3. Flash
4. Wait, may take a while due to re-build of dalvik.

I just want to say good on you for giving this a go. It's nice to see some new people having a go at developing. So good luck!
I have adb working.. will post a logcat within 10 minutes
EDIT:
Here is the logcat of the boot.
http://pastebin.com/MZFgwhUX
Rom is booting!
Use alpha 003 then follow this steps:
in the folder "data" make a folder called "local"
now copy "bootanimation.zip" from "/system/media/" to "/data/local"
it should boot now it doesn't work, only shows the setup guide, after that it fc's on the launcher.
logcat:
http://pastebin.com/t8My7y1K
i love you <3
if there's any way any of us users can help you, please do not hesitate to ask for anything!
bro im newbie, after i move the "bootanimation.zip" to following step above but when i flash the rom it was failed ..? thanks for helping

what recovery are you using?, if you don't resign the file, it wont work with amon_Ra. We will we be working on a new build today (although it may not be released today) which you wont need to go through these steps to use. Can i also suggest if you're new to this that you flash another rom, as this one is completely unusable and is only meant to show the communitt the stage we are at.

JieeHD - The apk's image-files might be mdpi, but they are all located in hdpi-folders, it could be a reason for fc'ing always.. if you install launcherpro through adb you can use that as launcher until other stuff is fixed.. Phone.apk never launches as it is now
EDIT: FC's seems more serious than that...
The problem with the current framework-res and mot-framework-res is that they are not miui , they are from a different rom. Using the original framework the rom will just not boot, which is why the apps f/c, as they are dependent on the miui framework.

So what you have used are CM-framework-files?
And which version of Android is it?

In the next build (which is being compiled atm) , the framework's are miui ones, check changelog
Android OS: 2.2.1
Hmm.. Are you sure that you have enabled /data/app-functionality in the latest (0004)?
I couldn't boot, and the logcat said that /data/local/bootanimation.zip wasn't found, when I looked through the updater-script I didn't find the command for extracting the data-folder to the data-partition?
i think you may be right because i switched scripts from a cm6 rom which stores the boot anim in system/media
Also, I'm wondering why the bootanimation.zip can't be in that location.. In the same logcat as before it logged that it was searching both in the /data/local- and in the /system/media-folders..

Well.. I just mean in the previous version? Was it because of the other framework-files?
And should there be a ramdisk.tar-file in the /system/bin-directory?

I think the original update-script looked in data/local and then when we switched scripts it looked in both places, for some reason lol
The ramdisk-tar was in the original rom, so i updated it with our .rc files and left it, it shouldn't cause any problems..
Can you give us a quick guide as to whats working and whats not? Thanks

I couldn't get the 0004 to boot, but in 0003, you could run through the setup, and then start over
Hi,
everytime I want to flash a new version of a rom I have to modify the zip file contents, i.e. delete some files etc, which is a very tedious process.
Thats why I created a little tool for Windows (requires .NET 3.5) that can do the following with a zip file of a rom:
- Delete files
- Add / Replace files
- extract .apk's, decompile them, modify (regex replace) inside text / xml files within, recompile them and put the updated version back into the rom zip.
The tool is still beta, so there could be many errors if you don't use it correctly... always make a copy of the rom zip before using this tool on it
The included apktool (for decompile/recompile of apk) requires JRE 1.6 and only works for Android Jellybean roms / framework-res.apk's - but I think you could just use another apktool version for different Android versions.
Included in the package is a sample configuration that is basically exactly what I am using. Of course you can change what files to add, delete and modify. Also there is a screenshot attached so you can see what it looks like - as you can see you need to have some basic knowledge of how android rom stuff works, I don't think this is useful to total noobs, sorry.
If you have any problems / suggestions feel free to write here.
I hope this is useful to someone
Regards
Abomb
Changelog:
1.0: Inital release
1.1: Some error checking, not all errors will be caught but at least some basic ones.
1.2: Files to delete and apk's to modify can now be selected from the zip file via file browser
1.3: Log during modify operation and bugfixes
1.4: More bugfixes, plus the settings are now stored in the image of a cat
This looks like it could be useful. Thanks for sharing.
Great!!! easy to edit a rom for me
Thx, great job.
New version 1.1 with some error checking released.
Version 1.3 released with the following changes:
- Files to delete and apk's to modify can now be selected from the zip file via file browser
- Log during modify operation and bugfixes
Last version don't work with last nightly CM10 and Jellybro when trying to modify Navbar DPI.
ZipTest Error.
Sorry for bad English.

Yeah I noticed, the problem seems to be thatthe zip file contains some folders like "a" and "A" - which is no Problemon Linux, Android etc, but does not work under Windows I haven't found any solution yet, but I'll try to find a fix for it.
I have been trying to develop my own roms for awhile now, but every time I flash what I've been working on, I hard brick (this is my 3rd replacement; dsixda's kitchen is also an old tool). I just want to know if I can work alongside other devs via whatever method of communication so I can learn some stuff. Even if it's a tiny project, I just want to learn. Sorry if I'm not suppose to ask or anything... Just don't know where else to look.

His kitchen has been updated to work with the s3 so that should not be the issue.
Do you have any experience decompiling apks? And what questions do you have
I have decompiled apks. In fact, I have a few low grade apps on Google play.The issue I've been having is just porting, even with the latest version of dsixdas kitchen. But I want to do other stuff, like build a unique ROM.

I to been plaing on developing roms. As an upcoming software engineer I wanted to actually try to start from scratch lol. Hopefully school teaches me more about dev'ing. But as for me I dont have any experience in all that yet :-/ anything specific we have to learn?

I'm learning as well! - Hope this helps!
I have used the same dsixda's kitchen 2.18 (newest)
-I tried it on my Acer A500 tablet ROM (doesn't work good -I even updated stuff in it like which Partition #'s are for my device)
-kitchen works ok with SGS3 ROM, but I can't confirm that nano editor works or other stuff
-kitchen will change boot.img (kernel) when you choose these options: Root, busybox, init.d, & nano editor
Opinions:
-I don't have faith when "dsixda's kitchen" changes (or injects) the kernel (boot.img)
-In "dsixda's kitchen", after you convert back to "updater-script" at end, I usually have to check and modify (or clean up a few lines)
-I have doughts on "update-binary" getting changed.
What I do...
1. Start with Stock (untouched) ROM..
2. Removing + Updating .apk's (sometimes, I have to add in Lib files for certain .apk's)
3. I can use Kernel changes from "dsixda's kitchen 2.18" and it will work, but prefer to use Kernel (boot.img) from anothers ROM that has SuperSu, busybox, init.d, or nano text editor injected. and add those files to system/xbin
4. MODS...
- I add "MOD - Customizable 23 Statusbar Toggle (Wanam)" files to Rom, then modify "systemUI.apk" (with my own 204 battery % images)
- for Battery % icons (Extract, change 204 files, Compress)... {SystemUI.apk...res\drawable-xhdpi\stat_sys_battery...} I had to use anothers version on wanam's 23 toggle (that had the 204 battery images, Wanam's 23 toggle originally has 17 battery image files)
- I use build.prop tweaks that I've learned from other ROM's
- I use "system\framework\android.policy.jar" from others ROM's to get "4 in 1 Reboot menu".
- I use "system\etc\hosts" file (970 KB) from a "MOD - AD Blocker" (not sure if it works, but replaces blank stock one)
- I use "system\etc\init.d" folder from other's ROM's and make sure same kernel has same injections + correct files in system\xbin folder.

Hello guys,
8 years after the release of my 4.1.2 rooted rom, I retrieved my 101 xs and I updated my rom. So here it is, an updated 4.1.4 rom, rooted and optimized that you can install now (don't forget to make backups of course).
I mainly got the tweaks from BlueAndroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073859
What I did
Retrieved build.prop enhancements and init.d tweaks from BlueAndroid
Updated busybox to 1.32-Stericsson
Updated CA certs from my recent Samsung phone, because the stock ones were expired
Removed ui sounds completely, I dislike them
Added custom host file for blocking ad servers
Added Viper4Android 2.4.0.1 (was Awesome Beats on 4.1.2)
Added Sony Walkman (music player)
Added Mixplorer v6.57.1 and MixArchive
Added Seeder (entropy generator to reduce lag)
I didn't do any UI tweaks (I'm not good at this). If someone wants, just do it. If you want to build your own version of the rom, I've made a script that builds the patched rom from the stock file. It runs under Linux or WSL. You'll have to download mkrom.zip and androidmerged.squashfs. Unzip the zip and place the squashfs file in the same directory. Then run mkrom.sh, and if everything goes well you should get a file named archos.ext4, ready to be installed (see Installation below).
Also I tried putting more recent versions of Google Play Store and Archos apps in the system/app folder, but when I did this, the apps were not working correctly, so I left them as their old versions. If someone has an explanation, please tell me
Download
Version 1: Archos_4.1.4_Mwyann_1.zip
Installation
I'm just gonna copy/paste BlueAndroid installation instructions here:
Install Developer Edition if you didn't already
connect USB cable & check if USB debugging is already enabled !
put archos.ext4 in your device ( root directory ! ) , or using adb command :$ adb push archos.ext4 /mnt/storage ;
go to recovery -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel ( if exist ! ) -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in the new drive that appears !
OK -> wait to reboot -> enjoy the new rom
Don't hesitate to tell me if it worked or not, and what you think of this.
Hi!
I have tried to install it, but when I restart the device it just do not want to boot.
It freez ad the Archos logo screen!
What I am doing wrong!
I have dongraded my device to 4.0.26 version.
After that I have enabled the USB debuging.
Than I have installed the SDK version from Archos web site.
Restart and paste your firmware.
Restart again and flash the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo (deleting ar not the Archos Kernel - no matter the result is the same - freez).
And nothing. Any help?!?!
Thanks!
PS: May be there is something wrong with your zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files, because with the files from this post it works.
So it did work with the new zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files? It's possible I just took the wrong files, from 4.1.1. I'll update those files soon.
Edit: Files updated to 4.1.2, should be fine now.
I will trythis method on the 97xs
Great It is ok
if you use the 4.0.26 !!!
doesn't work for me, "Usb connection : please copy a zImage and an initramfs, then press ok to disconnect" i used adb to put
THANKS for your THANKS :good:
Bump to this thread, because I've updated it after 8 years Enjoy a fresh 4.1.4 rom, rooted and updated as far as I could.
What you will need:
Basic tools
- Notepad++
- ZIP manager tool like 7zip
Advanced tools
- Cygwin
- smali (assembler/disassembler)
- APKTool/APK Multi-tool
Lets Begin:
Download a ROM (we use CM in this guide) of your choice (don’t forget to get the permissions for it modding from the developer) and extract it. When you extract it, you will see at least two folders and one file
Folders
- system
- META-INF
Files
- boot.img [this is not present in defy/defy+ ROMs so don't worry about it ]
NOTE THAT I AM ONLY GIVING DETAILS ABOUT THOSE FOLDER WHICH YOU CAN REMOVE/EDIT
THE \system\bootmenu\2nd-boot\ FOLDER
In this folder you'll find the kernel [zImage] file of the ROM here you can change it with the one you compiled or by others.
The Tts folder
The ‘TTS folder’ is all about Text-To-Speech. It contains all the files needed by the Android system to get Text-To-Speech working. If you are removing the TTS feature from your ROM, make sure you remove this entire folder and the TTS related apps from the ‘system folder’, as this will save a lot of space.
The WiFi and Usr folders
The WiFi folder contains the drivers required by the WiFi module to function. So i strongly recommend NOT to touch this folder. If you delete any file from this folder, you will mess up the WiFi functionality.
The usr folder contains some miscellaneous but very important stuff. It may contain anything and everything needed by the Android operating system. For instance, this folder contains all the key-mapping. If such files are messed with, your device will be non-functional although it will boot.
The Build.prop
The build.prop file is pretty self-explanatory. Here, you can change the most basic things, like the android version that setting shows. Wondered how people are making 2.3.4 look like 4.0.3 in settings? Its build.prop. Also,you can change what ‘About phone’ shows here.
Other things,you can change things like,how long your wifi scans,how much battery your phone saves while in sleep, Dalvik VM heapsize and default ringtones. If you are wondering what # stands for, it signifies that, the particular line is commented out, and the system does not read it. You can use it add comments to the build.prop. This helps others understand, what is the function of a particular tweak.
A guide for some basic build.prop tweaks can be found here.
Please be aware that, these build.prop modifications are not universal. So, you will have to experiment with the tweaks and their values.
The META-INF folder
This folder contains instructions for the Android Recovery about how to work with the files present in the zip. This folder contains many folders, but the only one we need to edit is the update-script file.
Making Flashable ZIP
In order to create a flashable zip, first zip the ‘system, META-INF’ folder and the ‘boot.img’. Let’s name this zip as ‘update.zip’. Next we need to sign the zip. Get a signer here. Put your update zip in the same folder as the signer. Then run the ‘signer.bat’ file. This will sign your zip file. After the signing process is complete, you can change the name of the zip to your liking.
confused
hi,,,i'm new here,,,,
