Haha I know this I've been doing this a while, but I thought something might change to make it come back it's a color where everything else works so something got wrongly tweaked.

Someone else said they had this problem and swapped kernels and the blue reappeared so idk. It's just a minor annoyance I can handle it, if everything works. If it means I don't have to wipe everything bc I've got a lot to load back so right now I'll deal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
If that is true about the kernel, try wiping cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Eh I have tried that and other things and nothing it's just weird, im more curious than anything as to why.

I would like to share an experience that my coworker went through. During the course of flashing a new radio, rom & kernel he lost his data connection. We did everything to fix it:

- Reinstalled everything.

- 3x wiped

- odin'd to stock

- wiped from bootloader

- even used the GNex toolkit but to no avail.

Nothing worked, finally after sometime we figured out that he had 4G data but not 3G data. This fix for this was a new SIM card from Verizon. Hopefully, no one is borked this bad but if you are experiencing unfixable symptoms then this might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scope666:
I've had VERY frequent data drops since I got the phone this past Saturday. I finally got a fairly sharp VZW engineer on the phone, he told me to bring it back, and get a new phone AND SIM card ... he said that number of drops is just not normal (I can have up to 10 data drops in one hour)

UPDATE: Got the new phone, so far I haven't had one data drop since ... knock on wood!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] threepio:
Ok so I'm a little nervous flashing this.

I am running GummyNex 0.7.6. My android version is 4.0.3.

My baseband version says I515.09 V.EK05 / I515.EK02 - are these the 4.0.2 radios? So I should be able to flash this no problem right?

Also if I make a backup of my current setup in CWM, and flash this and have problems. When I revert back to the backup of a stable setup. Will the radios change back too? Or is it once you upgrade your radio you are stuck?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Edit: Here are the files you need:

4.0.2 radios/bootloader - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28393515/402radios_btldr.zip

4.0.2 to 4.0.4 - http://berz.me/other/toro/402_to_404_btldr_rdo.zip

If they don't work I have them, so let me know (or hunt through this thread).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
I tried posting in the 4.0.4 thread but it was either getting ignored or missed. According to the thread, you can apply this with the stock recovery. Ive booted into recovery, but i dont get an option to flash update.zip. I just get an option to update from cache.

I dont want to have to unlock my bootloader and lose all my stuff to use CWM. If there is a way around that please reply. Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Did you take the file out of the folder and put it in the root of the sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
Yes i took it out of the download folder and named it update.zip and place it in the root of the sd card folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Did you name it update.zip or just update? I once labeled a file update.zip and the system read it as update.zip.zip, hence no flash.

Also, when in recovery mode toggle to where it says apply update.zip and hit the power button.

I haven't done this in a very long time....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
Yes it is named update.zip. I named it in my file explorer on my phone. There is no option in recovery that says apply update.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Sorry about the toggles, like I said its been a while.

Remove the .zip on the end and leave it named "update". See if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidZ28:
@Irs421 - they have changed recovery since you used it, it isn't checking the root of the sd, it is checking the cache folder, which you cannot write to without root...

OP, you will need to wait if you don't want to wipe...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Ahh thanks, yeah its been a really long time. Like 2010 Samsung Captivate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
A few posts from members in the 4.0.4 thread stated you can do it without unlocking and without wiping, but there are no instructions. Is that information not accurate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidZ28:
I saw posts stating you could do it with stock recovery, which is true, if you can place the file in the cache. I saw no one confirm that they did it with stock, and no root. If someone did, you will need to wait for their instructions, I will be interested in seeing how this could be done...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thespot84:
would you be able to stick in /cache using adb without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shoman24v:
Curious as to how there's no access to /cache but the phone can dl the OTA to it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emuneee:
The phone has the security access to the /cache folder, but unrooted users don't.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi , greeting everyone !

If ICS has not yet occurred then it's time for a new Custom Rom ...

This Custom Rom is based on the original Archos Firmware 3.2.80 and is only for enable SDE.

- zImage and initramfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/gd_SWiL7/drive.html ( are into drive archive ....drive.zip)

Installation :

Great Thanks @gen_scheisskopf ...

With respect,

surdu_petru
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
How did you get more ram? I don't like the battery icons, so I'll stay on stock rooted, but how did you get more?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

Everyone is free to choose what version of software like....;) , that is why I tried to diversify the range of Archos firmware ....everyone is free to choose currently between four versions of software released ( Original Stock Rom firmware3.2.8, Root Rom firmware3.2.80 , Custom Rom firm. 3.2.80 and Plasma Active,Thanks @LeTama ).

Of course expected and welcomed other versions of Custom Rom including various stuff !!!

On the other side, I have answered the same question about ram in the previous version ( Honeycomb Custom Rom 3.2.79 => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1462726 )

Have a nice day and Good Luck !
[Gen9 Android Development] hitman72:
hi, sorry for my noob questions. I have used gen_scheisskopf's initramfs. After the first "long" boot, with pleasure, I saw that the "wipe-dalvik.update" file was deleted automatically :-) now is necessary reflash your initramfs surdu_petru? are there problem leaving gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and rebooting without "wipe-dalvik.update" file? thank you

p.s. new icons for me are always better on every new version
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Ok ! no need to use another initramfs !

And less beware :

- if you plan to do a clean installation ( go to Format System, Reformat Device...OK! and reinstall archos_firmware_it4.aos , than copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage data/media/archos.ext4.update, reboot and into recovery copy the two files that are in drive.zip zImage , initramfs - into new drive ) - for this you don't need gen_scheisskopf's initramfs ;

- if you plan to do just update over the original firmware or rooted firmware you need just copy archos.ext4.update on Internal Storage (data/media/archos.ext4.update) and into recovery choose gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage ;

I think you're better now...;)
[Gen9 Android Development] blogmaw:
Thanks for all your work! Just so I know, which file can I get rid off after flashing? I had your .79 custom rom before. Can I delete the archos.ext4.update file ?

By the way is the wipe Dalvik-cache from Supercharger OK?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
If you are still in Custom Rom 3.2.79 you need to push archos.ext4.update into data/media and in recovery copy gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage into new drive ! whith this you'll not lose your work , and Yes after flash you can delete archos.ext4.update from data/media/...Good Luck!
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
There is no need to worry about .update files, they are removed automatically.

I'll check Supercharger dalvik-cache wipe later.

BTW there is no need to flash suduru_petru init if you did flash modified one, functionality is the same, modified init works stable on my G9.

Flash sites not working

Hi

with this version of root I am unable to get Flash 11 to work (previous root is O.K.). Sites prompt for Flash to be installed although the software is installed. I can't uninstall as it seems to be part of the kernal. Installing Flash 10.3 allows Flash sites to work until a reboot disables it again. Any ideas.

best regards

Bill
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Flash is not a part of kernel or system, it is a separate application.

Wipe dalvik-cache and try again- here is info.

If this doesn't help- reinstall flash
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Ok!

You can do that : navigate into /system/app/flashplayer.apk and try to reinstall it , it's work fine....you can do the same with...adobe_air.apk and BooksTablet.apk

flashplayer and adobe_air are just preinstalled in this custom rom .

Thanks , Good Luck!
[Gen9 Android Development] bothylad:
Hi

thanks for your quick reply

I'am unable to delete Flashplayer, if I tap on the .apk I am prompted to re-install Flashplayer this resolves the issue until I reboot. Is this a permissions problem, how can I check.

I downloaded root explorer changed permissions on flashplayer.apk deleted it and re-installed from market working O.K. now.

Greetings, surdu_petru,

I recently installed this custom rom, into my Archos 80G9, and I have a question:

is there anyway to disble/enable the power supplied to de usb connector, in where the 3g Usb Dongle is connected, I use this port to supply power to a small fan, in order to cool down the tablet, and i would like to have control over it, before i rooted, I could controlled it by, just toggling the 3g switch on/off.

thank you in advance, for any help you could give me,

OsiriS5180
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Because no changes are made ​​in this direction in the original software, I think you can control as before toggling 3G switch ON/OFF !
[Gen9 Android Development] osiris5180:
Thank you, for your fast response, right now I have the switch in the off position, and still have the fan on, it could be the rooting process? , I rooted first with your other post for this version of the firmware, any help would be appreciated.....

Thank you in advance. ..

Osiris5180
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
So you recommend a clean install? Does this mean removing the kernel or formatting the whole drive?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
A clean installation is the best and safest method of installing an operating system....to performe clean instal go to Format System->Reformate Device...-> I understand OK!, after that you need install original .aos file, and than flash archos.ext4.update. ( and yes ..will be completely formatted !)

And if you have important data and you can not delete, than you can install over previous versions, but you need initframs with removal Dalvik-Cache mechanism ( see initramfs posted -@gen_scheisskopf).
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
OK !...you are right ....I'll take a look ..but not right now...I have no time ! Thanks !
[Gen9 Android Development] Vicente:
Thanks.................great job
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Merci, thanks...!!! Have a nice day ! ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Seems like a lot of us are having problems with turning the 3G stick on and off with rooted roms... although there are no modifications made to the system, there is something that is creating the problem... might it be the busybox?
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Nope, I installed busybox and can use it fine
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Yes you are right... I know that is a problem and I'm going to solve it....but unfortunately I have not time now ! ( I had a car accident without victims and want to fix first thing in the insurance....you know the story ..go to right, go to left...and more I work eight hours every day ! )

I hope to find solution in time....or maybe unless this time help me my good developers @letama, @Quinny899 or @gen_scheisskopf !!! ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Did you delete archos' busybox like I sincerely told people not to do?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Honestly .. now I can not try anything ... I have other things to do....maybe I'll try this week-end !
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Only difference between stock busybox and CM7 are available commands. I didn't check which commands are linked to abcbox (Archos proprietary tool). If by any chance commands required for 3g stick are present in both busybox and abcbox then installing busybox may cause problems.

@suduru_petru- thanks but I'm only a modder

tapatalked from Desire

UPDATE:

I've tested busybox-ed build some more and:

-there are problems with rebooting- system is shut down but doesn't boot properly, power led is dimmed (reset works)

-I can't use usb gamepad (Logitech RumblePad 2)- device is connected but none of keys work, before d-pad was working out-of-the-box, additionaly USB/BT Joy Center FC's randomly

I'm testing firmware with stock busybox now.
[Gen9 Android Development] anon1ski:
a spot of help please?

Pardon guys, but i just picked this thing up today, and am COMPLETELY boggled how to get root/get this rom running. so for now im stuck with 2.2.1 and it is killing me.

i havent seen anything pertaining to recoveries nd such and this says i need a certain recovery.

sorry for the confusion on my part. Have rooted many a phone, but am a complete tablet noob aside from my acer and asus tablets. which were pretty much one clicks and ridiculously eay. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
I think you mean to say 3.2.1. You need to enable sde first. There is a guide for that in this forum.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
If you are interested I've created "no-busybox" version of firmware (3.2.80 of course), it seems to solve USB problems I've encountered- HERE

@suduru_petru- I didn't have time to check what exactly is wrong with busybox installation, I suspect that too many commands are replaced.
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Thank you, will try this right now and let you know
[Gen9 Android Development] osiris5180:
thank you, it works like a charm!!!.... altought I miss the custom icons from @suduru_petru's Custom firmware.
[Gen9 Android Development] daniele_dll:
For work, i compiled pl2303 module for archos 101 g9, if some is interested here instructions (in italian, use google translator, i'm too tired ^^)

pl2303 is a usb <-> serial port adapter by prolific that is cheap and works fine!

Here instructions, config file and precompiled pl2303.ko

w w w . d a c c i i . i t / n o d e / 8 3 (remove spaces)

Just download it, put into /lib/modules and execute

insmod /lib/modules/pl2303.ko

It will not be automatically loaded by the system so if you don't load when you need, /dev/ttyUSB0 will not appear!

note: if you use it with the rear port consider a powered usb hub because the rear port is slightly large than normal and the usb adapter cable doesn't fit well

Can anyone help?!

Hi all,

Im trying (without much sucess) to roll back to honeycomb from ICS. Ive re-formatted the device, carried out the temp root method and enable sde etc

when trying to flash the kernel and initramfs i get the error "initramfs (initrmfs.cpio.lzo) not found"

Ive searched and all i can find is to re-name the file but this still returns the same error. i have also tried downloading the files again just in case it was a bad download.

any help would be greatly appriciated,

thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

Please rename your file initramfs.cpio.gz -> initramfs.cpio.lzo !!! ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] Stevie1984:
Ive tried this but win7 isnt letting me change the file extension. If i try renaming i end up with initramfs.cpio.lzo.gz?? Cant seem to drop th .gz
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
Go to folder options and uncheck "hide known file extensions" if u can't figure that out , try Google.
[Gen9 Android Development] vleutmans:
Hi,

I downgraded from official ICS 4.0.3 (4.0.7) to this custom honeyRom, but I face the problem that the tablet is not booting anymore.

What I did :

-install SDE firmware

-copy archos.ext4.update to root of flash drive, when connected to PC

from SDE :"Remove Android Kernel"

Flash Kernel and Initramfs

Copied zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo (had to rename the .gz as you already wrote)

Reboot

Tablet is showing bootlogo for 15 minutes already...do I need to wait longer ?

Anyway...is there a way to recover, so that I can acces the storage again...at least so that I can continue in any way ?

Br.

Michel
[Gen9 Android Development] julle131:
Begin by installing stock 4.0 rom. Then follow install guide from aokp, but push this rom instead or aokp, and kernel from this (remember to rename the kernel) instead or aokp kernel. It should work.
[Gen9 Android Development] vleutmans:
Hi, but how do I get access to the storage..to put a new ROM, as the phone isn't booting now ?

[edit] hmm I made a fault...copied the archos.ext4 .zip to storage before. Now when I access storage again to upgrade firmware from SDE, I only have 256 MB to put an update, and the archos.ext4 is more than that...doesn't fit....

hmm I think I should be able to mount the /system to put the rom....but how ?

Br.

Michel
[Gen9 Android Development] omegaRED7:
In Recovery/SDE, use Update Firmware (or if it isn't working Format System > Reformat Device...) and then install a Stock Archos ROM from the archos website. (the one ending with .aos). This will bring you to the "standard" Archos ROM. Then you can follow the installation procedures for the custom ROM of your choosing.

Note: It actually isn't necessary to remove Android Kernel - this removes the "stock" Archos ROM. In fact, whenever i flash a custom ROM (or a new build of CM9), i keep the android kernel until i know it can boot up ok. Please note that data isn't compatible between Archos & CM9/CM10/AOKP, so if you actually boot up the stock Archos ROM, you'll have to wipe data again, as the stock Archos ROM will auto-recreate its data which isn't compatible with CM.
[Gen9 Android Development] julle131:
Reflash the stock rom, so that you can access the storage.
[Gen9 Android Development] vleutmans:
Thanks it worked. reflashed stock 3.2.80 aos file. Then did the upgrade to this custom rom, and all works.

I didn't know that when you "downgrade" you have to do it this way, as for my other devices it's not necessary to flash older stock OS first when you downgrade...or maybe I did something wrong there, that could also be the case ;)

Reason I downgraded to this version it that with ICS 4.0.7 I have a too sensitive touchscreen. Even my leather case affects my handling with the screen and caused weird unwanted behaviour. Even recalibrating many times didn't help on ICS.

So now I have a super fast OS again, rooted etc, and most probably it outperforms ICS, as ICS is just more overhead and not performance improvements.

Furthermore I haven't seen any issue of an over sensitive touchscreen since downgrade :)

Br.

Michel
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Thanks for your test!

...also I have touch prob. on ICS ! ...I'll try HC , if you say ...!
[Gen9 Android Development] Bi0haZarD:
HC has worse battery consumption than ICS bro, also for speed ICS is better as well, i have archos 101 g9 turbo 16gb 1,5ghz dual core cpu that comes with ICS preinstalled and currently using ur stock 4.0.7 root only with apex launcher as default and don't have any real issues with the TS...but that's because I'm not using the stock launcher....I have to say though that i have also tried ur latest HC 3.2.80 root only and have experienced only better touch response while typing with the default keyboard only..battery life sucks compared to ics...btw surdu thanks for ur efforts and time that you put on this...! ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Well, it's not true in my case (1GHz omap4430, 512MB ram)- HC is much more stable and battery friendly than ICS
[Gen9 Android Development] oakes:
To whom be interested,

I used to having this HC in my "1ghz Omap4430 512MB ram", but ICS@Blue V3 (Test 9 kernel) has a better performance (battery and stability) with Go Launcher HD (removing Launcher2.apk, Apex and the bootanimation with Root Explorer) and No frills setting in "performance 1,2" (max and min).

Best, congrats to surdu_petru and many thanks to gen_scheisskopf for pushing and helping at any time.
[Gen9 Android Development] vleutmans:
hi all,

I dont want ho start a war, but for me hc is much snappier than ics. Its like hc=windows xp and ics=windows vista.

This also counts for my phone. ICS is taking more resources (mainly memory). My phone flies on gingerbread and is slower on ics with less multitasking as all processes take more memory each in ics. Only thing is that the battery of the phone seems to last a few percent extra on ics.

So for now i will stay on hc for my archos as i'm not having touchscreen issues anymore. On ics even my leather case (without metal) if affecting the screen by capacitive influence. This causes strange behavior like the settings screen coming up randomly etc.

In case the calibration can be influenced with config files and hypersensitive touchscreen is solved....maybe i will upgrade to ics again.

br.

michel
[Gen9 Android Development] oakes:
In my case the hypersensitive touchscreen was cause by the screen protector, so I throw it out.

And I could solve the touchscreen freezing with the app "Load Monitor" (settings:Add notification ON, Auto start ON, Update interval: 5 min, Wake lock ON, Vibrate OFF, Delay: 5 min, Only screen on: ON, Load threshold: 10, Clean Memory: ON).

Best.
