Here you find the files you need, for instal this Custom Rom :

- archos.ext4.update - in archive rom_26_05_2012.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/156898285/7dd37de/rom_26_05_2012.zip.html

- zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo - in archive 26_05_2012.zip => http://www.2shared.com/file/iqjadiIa/26_05_2012.html

Install :

- copy archos.ext4.update in /mnt/storage/ , you can use this command > adb push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage/

- go to SDE -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo -> OK! -> wait to reboot .....

- after everything was installed - please reboot your device !

Overclock Frequency :

While the Governor hotplug has the ability to disable one core when not needed, the other Governor has no ability to turn it back !!! I implemented in this Rom something to turn this core on !

To activate the second core, you need the following steps :

- open No-frills CPU Control :

- choose the desired Governor ( but not hotplug ) !

- choose the desired frequency , but not overclocked ! ( when the device will boot - will open with the selected frequency , so please choose max. frequency = your max. stock frequency )

- check "Apply on boot"

- check "Applay"

- check allow if superuser asked permission

- reboot your device !

- Now , both core are available in your selected Governor ( other than hotplug ! ).

( you can check this in Quadrant Standard -> System information : you will see - Cores: 2 / Cores available to Java: 2 )

Bootanimation

Do not overclok your device for long periods of time ! Overclocking , especially on boot may damage your device !

If you have some problem with touchscreen , please go to Settings -> Repair & formatting -> Touch screen calibration !
