EDIT: Interesting. I made the "sick of this, try two things at once" mistake and am not quite sure which did the trick. 1: I edited menu.lst on my computer with notepad++ - it did all seem correct, EXCEPT: I did note that it was ANSI encoded, and the editor I was using on the phone itself was UTF-8. 2. I unzipped the image and renamed on my computer and pushed to the phone, vs unzipping on the phone. Suspect it may have been the ANSI vs UTF-8. Easy enough to test. :) But later.

Count me among those having no luck here. I've tried both initramfs options. Definitely the right file format, line-breaks, etc on menu.lst. It boots the OpenAOS menu, it lists Ginger-bread, and it does start to load (or, I get the OpenAOS splash screen) before rebooting. Never anything but the splash.

openaos-gingerbread.img is always renamed to openaos-gingerbread.img.bak after this.

I do also always get Gingerbread as an additional option in the menu.lst with exactly the same stuff as Ginger-bread that I added.

Can't get debug working via USB, it's not recognizing the hardware. I've tried with debug enabled and debug disabled.

Still messing with things trying to figure out just where it went south. I have had Uruk on this device - not sure if that plays a role whatsoever but worth noting.
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
Same problem here -- can't get it to boot. My menu.lst has finally stopped being changed, but i am not having the openaos-gingerbread.img.bak issue. Mine just simply freeze at the openAOS logo =\
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
Right click ont the link to the zimage and then "save as ..."

;)
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
For me, it's always adds the .txt extension anyways. Just remove it and it will work.
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
i sue CM on my Archos 4.3 and it is ok

see :http://www.jbmm.fr/2011/06/android-2-3-sur-la-gen-8/
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
how do I edit the menue.lst and what should I do with it? sorry for questions.

:(
[Gen8 Android Development] *BlackMagic*:
Edit in windows with notepad ++

Make sure Notepad ++ is set to unix mode. edit > unix

If that is correct then you should have something allong these lines in the lst file.

Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0

Make sure you ad the 4th empy line.

Reboot into boot menu. And choose Ginger-bread, I had 2 but chose the one with the - and it booted fine.

Hope that works out.

For me it was just a short test to see if I got it working, I did, but not being able to usb connect and put stuff on USB and device is a kinda offputting atm. Also the framework could use some work. But I'm sure when this gets more developed will be nice to have besides Uruk Droid 1.1.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
I didn't have to do anything, maybe because i read the install instructions until the end.

Put the "openaos-gingerbread.img" onto the Tablet, flash the zimage and the initram.cpio.gz and boot into the devmenu.

Here you don't see only Android and Angstrom.

boot Android, reboot into Dev.

Now you have gingerbread in the menu.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
how do u flash the zimag and the initram.cpio.gz? Every time I try to flash them through dev.menu, I get told that it can not find zimage.

:(
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
You have to transfer them then when it is asked.

Not before.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
Still the same: Kernel (zimage) not found.

I have down. them fro here:http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/ and then boot in to devmenu and flesh them (try) :-(

Is this the sequence?

http://www.paste.to/MTQ3NDU=
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Does anyone know whats the number at the fith section of each line in the menu.lst?:)

just interesting for me;):D
[Gen8 Android Development] magisterrivus:
Be sure zImage does NOT have any extension. Windows always adds a .txt extension while downloading that file.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
i m sure :-(
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
SSome additional issues I've observed this morning and not seen noted here:

There is a scheduling issue somewhere i think. Music pauses briefly. A lot. When typing it sometimes pauses and interprets as a long click.

Keyboard lacks a proper full background. Odd whitespace between rows. Lots of log warnings about keyboard. Only 12450 show up as long press options on default layout.

Market is unable to find most apps even in the default list you are asked about on first use. No maps, facebook, many more.

Autocorrect library seems weaker than cyan on my phone.

Wish it would properly find the sdcard. Also doesn't find the internal storage quite as expected. At least, LPP wont find my backup. :)

On the plus side it does find and connect to my Hero (ad-hoc network with WEP... use it on the train every day,though i prefer BT for battery reasons)
[Gen8 Android Development] compyy:
Kewl Feedback, we will need to update the first page with latest:

Not Working:
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
i try avery think but nothink work.......can t flash them: initramfs and zimage......The develop. menu mode can t finde thezimage......:-(
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
1. Boot with vol+ pressed until you are in the white menu.

2. select "recovery"

3. select developer edition meu

4. select flash kernel & initramfs

5.Press power

6. copy the zimage + initram.cpio.gz to the now connected drive.

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR OS SHOWS YOU THE EXTENSIONS AND THAT ZIMAGE DOESN'THAVE ONE.

6.Press power

7.Press power

it reboots, now use vol+ and then boot dev version.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
which extensions? sorry i ask :-(

Every time i try, it can t find them.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
File Extensions like .doc, .exe and so on, as windows normally doesn't show them.

You have to configure windows to show all.
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I don't have market, and my browser makes my Archos reboot...
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
Ty I got it to work.........but if I leaves it for some minut without turning it off and afterwards try to wake it........i can t and it has turned itself off and when I push the power button it take some sec (10) before it turning on again and it is on on SDE mode not gingerbread......it is normal?
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
It's not normal, but you are testing a alpha release and there it is normal that alot of things don't work.

Like

no SD-Card

No Bluetooth

No working Browser

no working TitaniumBackup

no Wakeup

........
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Browser was working perfectly for me. It's how I posted my observations/bugs this morning as the XDA app keeps crashing. :) I did push almost everything from the gapps zip though (via adb) so that may play a role.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
Yes I know that. does anyone have a solution for it, that way I always start Archos 7o gingerbread via dev.menu ....... :-(
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Yep, my browser also does work:)

and about the wake up thing:

I can easily wake my archos up, i did it about 20 times and it worked every time..:);)
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
So my is a random unlucky? :-(
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Sorry, what do you mean? "min"??

sorry, my english isnt very good yet (8th grade:))
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
ups.....sorry
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
I believe it only fails to wake after a deep sleep. Used it off and on some time with a light sleep fairly frequent and no issues, but pulled it out after sitting a couple hours and it wouldn't wake.
[Gen8 Android Development] danielsf:
I think he means "mine" as in his tablet is just unlucky, I hope this helps :)
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
I am one of the unlucky who do not have market and can not wake it up and turn it directly on girngerbread. :-(

Already after 3 minutes, I can not turn it on
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Ahh, now i inderstand:)

Yeah, there are still many bugs, my opinion: the port isnt able to be "daily-use" yet;)

Tip:

Use the stock firmware or urukdroid, if we figure out how to add uruk to boot menu:D:)
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
I'd like to get it a little more stable so that I can turn it on and use gingerbread without going through dev.menu... :-(
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
As previously mentioned (in the post linking to the gapps download) you have to adb push gapps (including market) if you want them. Very very easy to do if you can type (and have adb running)

Tutorials on using adb, and particularly adb push, abound.
[Gen8 Android Development] danielsf:
How is the battery life in this rom compared to stock please? Thanks :)
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
I am not particularly expert in using adb ....... to not say I've never used :-(
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
OK,

I didn't know if it was suppose to already have market, I will adb install them then
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
They're not supposed to include them in a rom. Google rule. So yeah, gotta install 'em yourself.

If you got this running on your archos you can definitely handle adb.
[Gen8 Android Development] danielsf:
I know this sounds stupid, but how do you update the rom?
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
Anyone give the new updates a try? New initramfs.cpio.gz & zImage as of teh 1st
[Gen8 Android Development] gbohm:
from the first post:just exchange the img

sent from my droid (not the one you are looking for)
[Gen8 Android Development] lny:
Please help:

I installed the boot menu and it works but when I choose ginger it shows for a half second the openaos logo and then reboots to the boot menu.

I tried it with openaos-gingerbread-poc_2011062301.img.gz.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Have you renamed the *.img to openaos-gingebread?;)

Thats the most maked issue...

Do you have written your own menu.lst or do you just boot into menu?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Jamielawther:
Headnote: i'm on holiday and only have access to a heavily restricted xp pc (hotels) :(

I found a rom for Optimus ME on 4pda.ru ( http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=244116 )

I was wondering if anyone could try to port this? shouldn't be much work, and *maybe* wifi tethering might work? :) I think it would be a good idea :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
I think porting from P500 (Optimus One) is much easier. Also Mur4ik has already started his work on porting .32 kernel. Check here.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] slidingpimp:
so what's advantage of that kernel?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
I think it is able to run Google earth
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Very funny :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mejack03:
Yes it is :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pcfighter:
I think advantages are Native Tethering, "full hardware acceleration", and better(?) integration in Froyo System.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
The port from LG Optimus Me will be pointless, because it has QVGA resolution, and our GT540 Optimus has HVGA. You'll have to resize the whole framework and apps, and they will look ugly resized.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Hey guys, I just got a new case and I LOVE it. It is a Ringke G2x Case from here: http://www.rearthusa.com/LG-G2x_p_255.html

I've bought plenty of cases before from Amazon for $.01 + $4.99 shipping and all of them were lackluster. All were made from cheap materials that weren't cut right or fit properly. They usually arrive in a cheap plastic bag in an envelope or other cheap packaging. You get what you pay for. But at the end of the day I would be forced to remove the crap I had on my phone from the aggravation and nuisance.

This time I took the high road and looked into something less "cheap". I found a Ringke review and gave it a shot.

Wow am I impressed.

At first it looks like a TPU case, which my GF has... which is a thick, hard rubber. TPU cases are often so thick that they add a lot of thickness to the phone. While hers has stood up well, her white case is now almost like a dingy white/brown color (sick). The Ringke Case I picked up is a weird material. The high polymer coating has a soft touch to it but I'm not sure it is rubber... almost feels like a firm solid foam. It is porous for a nice grip, not slippery like TPU cases, but not sticky like the gel cases. Nice balance. Easily slips into the pocket yet has a good grip in your hands.

The case itself if very well made and fits like a glove. The speakers, camera, hdmi port, and headphone jacks are all cut out with pretty good precision. Volume and Power buttons still respond perfectly through the case.

The only bad thing is that I wish I had gotten their headphone plug accessories with the phone, as mine already has dust and lent in there.

Overall it is a good case and I'm not itching to take it off like others. I got the Lime color as for some reason it just pops. They have 11 colors to choose from but the florescent ones appealed to me this time around (Lime, Mint, and Orange)

$16.99 for the case plus $1.99 for the headphone plugs (recommended) and ships for free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GManLynx:
I will be getting one of these cases shortly. I got hte black one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I'd love to take some pictures of it ON THE PHONE but I only have my phone camera.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GManLynx:
How does the lime look? I feel like it would make the phone look unprofessional
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Use coupon code for 20% off.

weare2cool

It ships free now thru July 4th. Total with a plug came out to $15.18 :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
crap.

As far as professional... eh its just a case. I work with lots of professionals with cases and I don't think it is a big deal. It doesn't have a pot leaf or a Mario logo on it. Solid lime isn't bad at all.

I noticed that it does help while on a call, with the G2x's sharp corner at the top that slices your ear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrZoth:
I've been looking for a Mario/pot leaf case for weeks with no luck...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GManLynx:
Lol thanks. I really like my black one. I was thinking of also getting an orange one
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GManLynx:
BTW, the plugs are crap they don't fit at all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cybereclipse:
pics of it on the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
Heres my picz, of my black case
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kawarazu:
They fit mine just fine. You have to turn them so they're flush.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Any one elses Ringke case have sides that aren't really flush/tight? I notice on mine it kind of makes the phone look oval.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
wow that was the g2x camera?? very nice, man i love this effin g2x lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
yea those pics I took was from the G2x. It does have a VERY high contrast camera. I took some pictures of my kid in the pool and the blues and pinks and greens are very vivid.

On topic, are the headphone plugs actual jacks that plug into the phone's headphone port, or is it just a rubber button like thing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
The plugs look like this.

Sent from my HTC Vision (G2x in disguise)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
meh.

I'm not impressed. I thought it was going to be an actual headphone plug with a rubber tip on the end. I guess whatever works.

My hole needs pluggin' (no homo)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
I would definetely buy this if they didn't have that corner exposed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GManLynx:
Honestly the hole isn't noticable, It doesn't bother me at all and I'm picky about cases
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Why do all the G2X cases have the exposed corner on them anyway?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blitzeratic1:
I heard they're actually made for the o2x that's why. Something about a antenna in that corner of the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
Is it hard to take off? I have the dock and a korean TPU case and I have ended up not using it because it's too hard to take it off at the office everyday so I can use the dock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] govtcheez:
I was going to get one before I found out about the antenna hole. That would drive me crazy. Instead, I bought a case off eBay and it's actually really good. The fit is excellent and it looks great. The only gripe is that it is somewhat thick, as are all the TPU cases.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lindel:
I got mine earlier this week. Decent fit, and I like the fact that it's not at all "sticky", the finish on it is very nice and makes it easy to get out of pockets or whatever you put it in. I'll post up some pics later in the week and a more thorough review.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
No not at all. It isn't EASY to come off but you can pop a corner off without much struggle.

It isn't so easy like a gel case, but it isn't murder like a thick TPU case. One of the nicer cases I've found.

I've noticed the corners too on most cases. It actually doesn't look bad with it being like that. I actually kind of like it with a corner gone. They do it up right though. I always though it was something in the creation process.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Where could I purchase this?

Sent from my T-Mobile LG G2X running Xboarders v1.1.0.

Link is in the OP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] art0605:
Ehh it's alright. Not as tight as I was hoping for. And trust me, I always like it tight. Very good quality, and very easy to take out of the pocket.

Got the mint color, not as obnoxious as I was hoping it'd be.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blitzeratic1:
can you take pics of that case. i wanted the mint case as well.

Got mines today in dark red/maroon to match my first GF (my 1998 Honda Accord that I first purchased with my own money)... fits nicely and better protected than the clear hard case I bought a few months ago from AMAZON
[T-Mobile LG G2x] liquidblue1985:
Great Case - Recommended buy!

Ended up picking one of these up about 2 weeks ago. Picked up the Aqua Black & Plug.

Fits pretty well on the back, top and bottom of the phone. I did notice that it wasn't as snug as I'd like it to be on the sides of the phone (it has a slight bow outward). Pretty easy to remove on and off (for all those battery pulls from freezing and reboots - LULZ).

Plenty of room for all connections (cutouts are perfect) and has a decent raise level on the front (so if you ever place your phone face down on a flat surface you don't put your screen at much risk).

Very easy to take in and out of your pocket and has a good grip feeling. It can pick up the occasional hair (I have 4 cats o.O) from where the case mates with the screen (could be from the bowing out issue I have above).

I've had issues in the past with types of rubberized cases and needless to say I'm pretty satisfied with this purchase. The only thing that could have been better is me getting it for free like other members of this forum! Either way, great case Rearth/Ringke!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
I got mine in the mail a cpl days ago.

I'm very satisfied... I had a few TPU cases for this phone previously and they sucked hard. The one black TPU case that I did end up growing fond of because of it's good looks and accurate fit ended up disappointing me when the paint started chipping off of it revealing ugly white rubber.

The ringke seems to be made of a material that wont chip, hardly adds any bulk to the phone, fits snugly and feels nice to the touch.

This in combination with the reallook screen protector has greatly reduced my phone-related headaches.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kuhla:
I have a Ringke case too and if it wasn't for this issue I would consider this case damn near perfect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Final View:
Took 2 days to get to California for me. Case has pretty nice fit and cut outs. The only thing i was upset with was the color. I got Aqua Black thinking it would be a solid dark blue color. Turns out it was a see through greyish color. I knew i should have gone with maroon. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ButteredToast:
Could anyone with the Aqua Black case post pictures? I'm trying to decide between Black or Aqua Black. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Final View:
Here is the Aqua Black Case...

Thanks a lot. I think I may go with that one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
Same here!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Just got the black one. It is very snug except for the sides, which bow out, but over all a great case. Very light, thin, and smooth, compared to my rubberized one before it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] williec30:
does that case feel like it adds 'bulk' to the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wannagotopopeyes:
I'm still having trouble figuring out the material of this case.... Is it a jelly-like feeling material like those cheap stretchy cases from eBay? is it hard plastic with a soft-touch feel like Seidio cases? I'm confused!! But I like how it looks... Anyone wanna help me out with a detailed description? I NEED a case that is easy to get in and out of the tightest of jeans pockets, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
I bought the orange with the white headphone jack plugs and bought a black one for my brother. I really like the feel of the case like everyone has already mentioned. I found it easy to get out of my pockets as well. Only issue I have is that because its orange it picks up the blue from my jeans. I do have another issue that I created and that was I put full ghost armor on my phone and now the case doesn't fit right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
I don't think so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DigitalRambler:
Any Chance you could post pics of how it fits with ghost armor?

I also have full ghost armor and I am considering ordering this case and would appreciate it if I could see how it fits.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dre2phresh:
Looking at getting one of these cases myself. As long as it doesn't add too much bulk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
It doesn't at all IMO. Great protection too.

Good Product, Great Support!

I love this case!

It does wear more in areas that get more abuse.

But, I had an issue with mine showing alittle too much wear at just over a month.

After I emailed support, they sent me a replacement within 48 hours.

Good stuff Indeed!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
That's awesome. I just ordered mine yesterday, can't wait til it get's here. I've had my phone for a while now and there have been some close calls. I think its finally time to put a case on.

I am getting the black case for sure. These are bad ass!!! Thanks for sharing.

Yes. It has a rubbery feel but it is textured. I have the kiwi colored one :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickstewartroc:
Got the Orange one yesterday and loving it! Slips in and out of my pocket perfectly and doesn't hang up in it like most cases. And just as an FYI, when you put it on, put it over the top first, otherwise the piece that goes around the speaker won't go into place right
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
Just got mine today. Still have the zagg screen protector so I'm covered now. :)
