[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.

[Discussion] Xposed Framework

We will use this thread for discussion regarding Xposed
superstone said:
Steps to Install Xposed
1.) Install newest Java JDK on the computer and link the installation path with the Win system / user variables. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374008 Post#9)
2.) Install Android SDK. Be sure that the correct repositories for your Android Versions are also installed. If not install (e.g. for my Android 4.2.2. Version i needed all API 17 resources...)
3.) Use a specially modified Tool Chain with adjusted smali/baksmali for the MTK MT6592 / Alyiun OS called "Ureal-Deodexer". See https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=199 (use DL-Link in Post#16)
4.) after deodexing apks and framework put it onto the phone via Android.SDK. (see e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374008 Post#1 how to do this)
5.) after that modify /system/build.prop by adding a line with
Code:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
.
6.) reboot the phone (now deodexed rom needs quite a while for the first startup....)
7.) be sure that all .jex files and .odex files are removed from /system/app and /system/framework. (i did it with a file explorer with root access for /system directly on the phone) Reebot again in case you have to delete.
8.) now u can install Xposed Framework and all your favorite Xposed modules.
Try on your own risk.....

@ngoanrazor: Gravity Box works just fine after using this method. I am using it myself.

yes, of course.
Xposed is not (yet) compatible with the Android SDK 22 or with the architecture (armeabi-v7a) of your processor.
CAN NOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: library "libdvm.so" not found
I have always installed Xposed Installer, I do not think is a compatibility problem with the processor, I think it is the fault of the ROM

which ROM and android version are you using?
head to settings>apps>xposed installer and tell me xposed installer version number.
no its not processor issue. The reason that its giving android sdk22 compatibility error tells me that you are using xposed framework installer for android kitkat.
Just so you know xposed has different installer for android 5.0 and android 6.0 ( sdk 22)

XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk from this thread: Must be installed to manage installed modules, the framework won't work without it.
No, it's not using material design yet. Yes, there are more important topics for now.
xposed*.zip from http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/: Must be flashed with a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) to install the framework.
SDK21 is Android 5.0 (Lollipop), SDK22 is Android 5.1 (also Lollipop) and SDK23 is Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
I only support the latest Xposed version!
xposed-uninstaller*.zip from http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/: Can be flashed with a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) to uninstall the framework.
1st download xposed installer from the attachment

flash unistaller ,wipe dalvik/cache
reboot
if it doesnt work then you need to flash rom again. if you have twrp backup of this current rom you can restore only the system partition. that may also help.
when did the bootloops start?
did you installed corrrect xposed.zip for sdk 22(assuming your rom is cm12.1 that is lollipop 5.1 and not lollipop 5.0 which is sdk 21)
ask this question in your rom forum ,maybe they can guide you better.

I don't know before we can download it from Magisk, I think you can show them how to download it. It can help people who did not understand. You can share it if you want.

Just I think if you were to do it from magisk it's more likely to be upto date that's all.

Can confirm that this method works on Samsung A70 stock Android pie
