Try one of those two roms

NEXT 2 froyo 2.21 ROM based on bq Voltaire in the archos forum

http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&p=368152

Details: Some next 2 user have recommended this ROM, but not all.

Next 2 froyo 2.21, another bq voltaire rom in the archos forum posted by Nauj666

http://www.forotablets.com/showthrea...AIRE-VERSION-2

Details: tested by upNsmokeAllDay, works so far without issues, default language is spanish, but you can change that.

Have you installed the rk28xx driver for windows?

Erase IDB with rkandroidtool1.23. Then use the rkbatchupgrade1.23(or try an older version)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
I use UltraEdit to edit files... and UltraCompare to compare :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] incognito28:
Tried the roms

I tried the first rom it give me the rainbow screen, and I had to use the rkandroid dm loader. I cant get the rkandroid 1.23 to see my next book. Trying to download the other rom, but it looks like the website of that rom is down
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
oo u can antually compare file size with it...

edit:

nice tool!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Add another 500 plus from my site and surfer63 has it on his also.:D

I use QtADB, it has built in file manager, shell, install and backup tools plus live logcat. You can watch the logcat

when running apps on tablet and see what the apps are doing, great for debugging. http://qtadb.wordpress.com/screenshots/

First Angry Bird's got an option to turn of backgound now...

Try it on your Tablets :D

Only problem is that you can't zoom out since we dont have dual touch... i some how did it coupe hrs ago... wish i could figure out the glitch lol

Tried on eclair...

have fun.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
You are trying still angry birds?

I play angry birds space with hvdwolf froyo. It is possible, but not really good.

I this case, I have my hannspad and the birds will fly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
well i would like it to include in the next package i make ;) only if i could zoom out...

maybe ill have to start getting into making apps :P to make a virtual button to pinch zoom in/out for single touch devices... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
Again with fun_ OMG

It seems that I'm back again with my beloved Chinese friend!!! :)

My new tablet is a cheap AMLogic 8726-M3

searching for roms for it I found this:

fun_ thread for AMLogic

It's for the same chip than mine but in a previous version

:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
It seems that you are still near friends. Buying accidential a new tablet especially for him:p.

Sweet move, GingerDev.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
Come on pal... don't get jealous :D

The best rom for my tablet is ZT280 C71 ICS 4.0.3 from the maker ZeniThink

I'm just trying to find the right program to save the firmware in the tablet

If somebody knows how to save working rom from the tablet can please give me hint!!!

I din't used fun_ stuff. I won't use it now! It would be easier getting a RK2918 :)

BTW he doesn't have video HW accelerated in his project... beside lots of other features not working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Yes I'm jealous. Everybody founds a new toy while I'm still waiting on the perfect tablet.

Btw your next tablet would not fit in your bloated signature anymore.:p

Just another FROYO

Here comes the last hvdwolf's froyo which I have slightly modified.

http://www.mediafire.com/?f109tje1lsnjlan

Features:

+fast and responsive rom

+stable

+changed bootlogo and default wallpaper

+ full gsync

+zeam launcher

+add some apps like acalendar, ebookdroid and file expert

+advanced users could add apps to rom in the directory /hvdwdata/apkinstall of the system.img

-This froyo has the same issue as most other froyos - the market but there is an easy solution:

1.delete data from GoogleServiceFramework, then stop app,

2.delete cache and data from market, then stop app,

3.finally reboot and market will work, if not do once it again.

After the first booting the tablet would be slow for about 1 minute, because the apps from the directory /hvdwdata/apkinstall of the system.img will be installed at this time.

... and of course some music for boring time of waiting for the flashing

You lost me between the lines, DaremoS.

"BTW Do you think that this worth it?" Meaning is worth to test froyo?

@Stevemp

I can't say that hc is better or more stable. For me on hannspad ICS is stable and much faster than hc. You need of course the newest versions of apps, because older ones don't work with ICS. I have the luck, that the devs around hannspad are updating the kernel, too. That seems to be very important to get the rom stable and responsive fast.

I think ICS is the big shot and hc was only the half way from gingerbread into the future. Congratulations to your new tablet, maybe you need to wait on a better ICS mod for your Archos tablet or make it yourself.

This may have it, not sure. :confused: Too many different versions. :rolleyes:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Archos

Well I am going to try ICS, Archos releases their images so I can always flash back. :D G9 is the modders dream, comes with hidden "Developer Edition Menu" that lets you choose which rom to boot. Ångström linux distribution works also, I can have linux on my tablet now. :D

argh can you repost the file plz... im getting file corrupt...

no zip module :( i see only :

bunzip2

bzip2

gunzip

gzip

unzip

can any of these be used to make a .zip file ?

TIP: RKAndroidTool does not delete the user data... so always use RKAndroidBatchUpgrade when flashing a new ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
I have a menu in the clockworkMod recovery on the hannspad, too. There I can choose all image files from internal or external sdcard. I asked myself, what can I do with linux on the tablet? Is it with a full graphic user interface or is it only for codeplayers with a terminal?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
on some devices you can actually have full blown linux gui installed...

last time i did was ubuntu on my htc rhodium... it didnt had calling capability so i did not use it much...

it would be nice to have it on a tablet ;) since most of them don't have phone :D

make sure you have a mic in your new tablet so you can make calls with (apps) :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Still see no use for linux on a tablet and I would not like to use it as phone. For internet mobil could be enough.

And here comes the rockship power with the funny chinese english talk. They declare war against apple in the asian standard friendly way.

The american way of life gets under pressure. Maybe someone send the FBI to take them down.:D:D:D Put them on the black list, first Samsung then Rockship.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
The only thing American about the iPad is the idea. :D cpu and screen are made by Samsung (Korea), assembled in Chinia (Foxconn), memory is made in Japan. :p Apple makes billions in profit from selling at twice the production cost.

My G9 is 229 dollars with TI OMAP4430 dual core processor @ 1.2 Ghz with 8 GB of memory. It also has HDMI out, usb host mode for keyboard, mouse, or usb external drive. Archos has released the source code for kernel for ICS and I have ICS with a custom kernel and ext4 system partition.

What does Rockchip have at that price? :p I see your image has shrunk in fear of the mighty G9. :D

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
You got me cold feet, when you hide your Ipad behind the awesome Texas Instrument tablet, because I like your g9, too.

I want an ips-screen in the perfect ebook format 9.7''. Archos has the format not built for the g9.

Here comes my Prestigio 9.7 inch, I'm waiting for. Really nice design and the rk2918 is strong enough with 1GB RAM for 200€.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIW6OK88Yas

If you can recommend me an 9.7 inch tablet (ips-screen) with the better Texas Instrument dual core, please let me know.

When this new rockship 30xx comes out the tablet prices would be in a free fall...:o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
lol lol lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
I was asking Reinaldo if worth the installation of ICS in the tablet.

I'll see that Froyo right now!!! at least to take my tablet from the blocked status ... Goshh!! I install a new binary and get Immediately blocked :D:D:D:D:D:D

geees!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
You are right. There is no special need for more than froyo, but the design and the speed of ics on my hannspad is the best of all roms. Gingerbread is not so fast on hannspad.

What are you joking with froyo? Any problems?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
ICS

ICS brings a lot to the android feast. :D Voice search, now I talk to my tablet and it listens to me. :eek: I can stream video and music from my pc over the internet, now no more copying things to sdcard. Doom plays now, maybe all the old game emulators that ran on encore will run. And that's just the first day of using G9.

The Next3 is still the best to play with, easy to flash to recover from error. With G9 you use adb to push files to the tablet and run scripts to root. After rooting install SDE menu, copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage, then copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo onto G9, then flash from tablet. Sounds easy, but I felt like the brickmaster, French english is different from American english. :p Soon I will read French, Spanish, and English. :D

@DaremoS, the first ICS release is very buggy, the next one is what I am running, everything is working fine. New release of ICS is out, but Archos has not ported it o G9 yet. HC was freezing on me, had to hard reboot many times.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jozomafijozo:
Greetings Steve,

I was tempted to buy 80 G9, but the widely discussed/reported display issues were the reason not to.

Is your G9 affected? Have they fixed it?

I am looking for a 8inch tablet with HD-ready IPS display, but so far no luck finding one...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:

Steve, hopefully you got one without the french GHOST.:D:D:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
New G9

The new G9 has a different case, no problems with mine. :D

It has the same screen resolution as iPad, I use it more than my iPad except for reading. Better fonts on the iPad, maybe can be changed since it is now rw with ICS. Turbo version is 1.5 Ghz is you want to spend more money but I'm very happy with mine.

Nope... I say that I block all the time MY roms... not that wonderful and really fast Froyoyo. I didn't touch it.

Indeed is a fast rom. With all that Bells & Whistles you added looks very nice.

Indeed hvdwolf and you have made a good product.

Thanks Daremo,

how about a final gingerbread - fast, small, stable and with a low battery drain while sleeping?

Is it possible for our GingerDev?:cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
I'm working right now in gingerbread 2.3.1 for the moment, as that latest incarnation of GB.2.3.7 made by stevemp are really good: fast & stable.

No idea of the other requirements:

- low battery drain? how can somebody ask for this when the biggest manufacturer of cell smartphones have failed ridiculously in this point.

My son have the latest iPhone (S4?) and he have to carry a car battery in his backpack!!! geees!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

My little Huawei (Chinese lovely and beautiful ****) must be plugged all nights for the next day!! come on!!

And we all the humans keep buying millions of this imperfect toys!!:rolleyes:!

- small? ... latest technologies requires more and more space... the firmware for your Hannspad must be around 200 mb :p

Seriously my friend... I've turned into a tablet blocker!!! not a bricking one fortunately! :)

Have you take a backup of your Hannspad?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Big

archos.ext4.update is 393,216 kb. :eek:

Battery life is 8 hours at the most when using tablet.

Sleep is days, turns off every thing.

Would like to have Gingerbread 2.3.1 with working wifi. :D All the ones I have do not have working wifi. Next3 has the best sound of all my tablets, still good for playing music. PDFs readers crash on G9 also, maybe that is android problem. :(

I mean compilations, APK managing and things like that.

In fact I would like to put Linux in a old notebook we have

TIA!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:

Then compile CyanogenMod> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Android_SDK_Emulator:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

or use a script> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969266

You have to change a few things in the script to build a Rockchip rom. Big thing is to pull the propitiatory libraries from Rockchip rom and then build new rom with them. Building is the easy part, now comes the hard part of getting hw acceleration working. I just looked at way other roms are built in CyanogenMod source code and make modifications to build for Rockchip. Here is guide for building ICS for Galaxy Nexus.> http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics

Takes long time to set up Linux for building, almost four days for me, standard linux not work for me. I had to download new kernel and build modules to work with my hardware from the command line. Flashback to the ninetys when that was how you ran linux, download source code and build your own.

Couple of things stevemp:

Available roms of GB.2.3.1 was created for a RK2818 or RK2808 with a different kernel than ours based mainly in a device called Window N3 Net.

The rom I posted in the thread we left, was for a device called TR718D or Window N6, U8, Apad, Wopad, Eglide, Curtis and similar which have the same kernel.

Unfortunately this kernel is not compatible with our kernel due to differences in the screen, but for some reason affects wifi behaviour.

That's why in our devices we have this slippery wifi.

Anyway I have some GB.2.3.1 with working wifi.:rolleyes:

In general I explained in other post that Rockchip device have an excellent sound

Finally I have pdf working right in my new tablet using one of two apps then it's not an android problem.
