How about Camera + Camcorder??? is these work or not?
very interesting, thank you for the contribution.
I might actually take a look at this.. all that is needed to "dissect" this would be the standard Android SDK, correct?
EDIT: re-read the post.. dev-tools included. Thank you
Also for the last guy, it's not a stable ROM. It's a port that needs to be ported, so to speak.
This ROM is already leaked and also ported to HD2.
The Camera doesn't work and some others.......

I know this, but it's hard to find some sources. This is the ORIGINAL ROM and not a ROM which could flashed and used on HD2.
Update with GB Vision 2.3.3
Would like top take the opportunity to Hijack this thread (Kidding) and ask how to port a rom for usage on HD2. I managed to the kitchen for customize ready made HD2 Roms but never got to know how to port a Rom from another device to HD2 (is it just the kernel change or something else). I did search but surely didn't utilize correct search terms thus was unable to find resources and information so would highly appreciate it if someone guided me to info on how to accomplish that.

Best way to install a new Rom on Your rooted Defy

For me the best way is to use multiboot : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
Install new rom
test it
set it up
Make a Backup with your Recovery System like : TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585927
or CWM Recovery (App in Playstore) of
Nand/Real and second or third or ... system and now you can use all yourroms as your real system.
But don`t forget : every rom have to use the same kernel
Cheers an Thanks for Jelly Bean ( CM10 ) for my dead defy - but i get a new one

Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.07.2014] - Updated: New Z2 Root by CubeandCube

Hi,
i made a small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service.
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version
There is a case for Xperia T and Xperia S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!

Since the U is a NXt phone it should work
Is your method able to relock the bootloader?

It works here, have you started the restore app ? On Xperia S you have to start the "Backup&Restore" app from menu and select the backup to restore manually.

This is so kool, no longer need to downgrade to GB.
Can I change the Superuser.apk with supersu?

what about Sony U running GB and not ICS? can i root it?

You need ICS because it utilizes backup & restore app which is one of the default app in ICS

fakebackup.ab is the file which is used for XperiaT and other devices which can do directly "adb restore"
vpnfaker is from tabletS rooting trick, i removed it now because someone else has posted already a good version in TabletS forum

@Bin4ry
In your batch file you have the following lines:
Code:
echo Device type:
echo 1) Xperia T
echo 2) Tablet S
echo 3) LT26,LT22 etc.
echo 4) Other
set /p type=Make a choice:
if %type% == 1 GOTO XPT
if %type% == 2 GOTO XPS
if %type% == 3 GOTO OTHER
By choosing 4 the script won't do anything as nothing is defined for that operation.
reuploaded the script, a little error in choice. sorry for that !

[ROM] Stock 4.1.4 For 101xs, Clean, Stable, Root

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.
