Surdu,

Thanks for the information. I knew that there were two types of 4430s (1.0Ghz and 1.2Ghz), but didn't know there were also two types of 4460s. If anyone has a 4460 running at 1.5Ghz stock, please let me know what it says under your description tab for the CPU.

Mine says:

Board version A80S-V5 (T0)

OMAP Version OMAP4460 ES1.1

I wonder if the 1.2Ghz 4460 have 512MB of RAM and the 1.5Ghz 4460 have 1GB of RAM?

Thanks,

smithmal

ps - Surdu, I'm assuming you'll be incorporating the 4.0.7 and overclock abilities into your ICS@Blue V03 ROM and this ROM is just a "tweener" between the two.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
OK!

Normal (sure - 100%) are 2 types of :

TI OMAP4430 ( stock -> 1GHz & 1.2GHz)

TI OMAP4460 ( stock -> 1.2GHz & 1.5GHz)

TI OMAP4470 ( stock -> 1.3GHz & 1.5GHz)
[Gen9 Android Development] smithmal:
Surdu,

Ahh.. didn't know that. I thought the 4470s were only available for the upcoming G10s, didn't know they were incorporating this chip into the G9s as well. Thanks for the clarification.

[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
...I don't know if G9 have or will have OMAP4470 ....maybe is the same kernel for g9 & g10 !!!

...if you want too see where is this "info" , you can check into kernel source code /arch/arm/mach-omap2/opp4xxx_data.c ...take a look on this function "int __init omap4_opp_init(void)" ...and you'll see what I had say !!!

Good luck ...:)

I try to update my archos but it is permanently rebooting on the archos logo and nothing else.

I Flash Kernel and Initramfs and it says ok. afeter rebooting nothing is hapenning, my device is only rebooting on the Archos menu.

Perhaps I have not put the archos.ext4.update at the good place ? I dont have mnt/storage on my internal SD, so I just put it on the root of my internal Sd card... Can you help me to go back ? Where can i found mnt/storage ?

Thanks for your answer !
[Gen9 Android Development] Number0ne99:
Hi misterweby,

you missunderstood something.

But here is the solution for these deadlock:

From the Archos-Menu export Data-Partition with an plugged in USB-Cable (Archos <-> PC)

Then you see a new partition.

Copy archos.ext4.update into "new-partion"/data/local

Sorry wrong place to copy use "new-partion"/local

Update Kernel and Initramfs once again.

Bye
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

you can use this command > adb push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage

- or in windows -> computer -> Archos ...-> Internal Storage ( copy here archos.ext4.update ) !

good luck !
[Gen9 Android Development] xbutchx:
I placed the bootanimation.zip in /data/local but still no custom animation.:confused:

loss of performance with 4.0.7

Hello,

I have a significant loss of performance between 4.0.6 and 4.0.7:

Archos 101 9g

A101S-V5

OMAP4460 EX1.1 => 1.2Ghz

I go from 2459 to 1499 in 3D with Quadrant Standard score.

So back with the custom rom 4.0.6 with the kernel test9, for best performance.

Sorry for my english.

PS : surdu_petru, you're doing a great job.
[Gen9 Android Development] xbutchx:
I've been getting an "Archos Update Available" notification every since the flash. Settings shows that I'm on 4.0.7 and if I manually check for updates it shows that I'm up to date, but the background process keeps trying to push me to download. I just used TB to freeze the Archos Firmware Update.apk and all has been fine since.

Anyone else seen this?
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
yes this is normal for when you are on any rom besides latest stock 4.0.7
[Gen9 Android Development] 4carlos:
hi,

archos did not accept every bootanimation. if you see a black screen instead of your bootanimation, then your zip file could be in a wrong format. some files from the web did not work. in this case, check your zip file. it must be uncompessed.

check this:

- switch on (archos logo is visible for few seconds)

- after that your bootanimation appears until ics is running

if not, then 2 possibilities

1. you get a black screen for 15 up to 30 seconds -> wrong zip file or not accepted from archos. try another one.

2. you see the archos bootanimation -> your bootanimation.zip is not in the correct folder.
[Gen9 Android Development] misterweby:
Ok it is working for me !

Thank you for all !

I made a mistake, reboot device without install kernel but firmware was in the internal storage..install same, and work is possible..also root there is
[Gen9 Android Development] Elantric:
Hey dumb question

I re installed the XDA [ROM] Stock Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.7 - Rooted version - only for enabled SDE

Immediately after the install - my Archos 80 G9 is running quite nicely

But

If I completely power down the unit

Every time I re-power up now , I see what appear to be re-installation files

Everytime I power up the unit now.

I see Archos splash screen, then an animated Archos screen

then

"Android is upgrading Optimizing Application xx of 70"

????

This can't be right? Must I perform some additional step?

Yes I did already preinstall the "enabled SDE" process before I applied the 4.07 Root version

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

OK! Thanks !!!

SOLVED , so Please re-download kernel.407.zip and re-flash the ROM !!!
[Gen9 Android Development] Kanalcommander:
On 4.0.4 till 4.0.6 I did not experience this with the rooted stock firmware.

Very strange is that the notification says it will not show again until a new update is available if I cancel it and 10s later it's there again.

[Gen9 Android Development] Elantric:
After installing this recent new firmware , my Archos 80 G9 is now running smoothly, and seems faster than Honeycomb 3.2

No more Wifi disconnects, or youtube videos that always stop mid stream.

And no more

""Android is upgrading Optimizing Application xx of 60"

upon each cold reboot

THANK YOU!!!!!

GPS Lock Issues after updating to 4.0.7

Hi,

When I first updated to ICS, it was to v4.0.4 rooted by surdu (thanks btw)

The rom seemed unstable and crashed frequently but GPS worked just fine mostly.

Eventually I got around to updating to 4.0.6 which was still unstable, crashed all the time, rebooted sporadically but the GPS still worked. Although when not moving, i.e. sitting at lights etc. it would often rotate 180 degrees as if it thought I had turned around.

Now I have updated to 4.0.7 and the unit is almost completely fine, it hasn't crashed once yet, been using it several days. Its fast and scoring high scores in quadrant. I'm actually enjoying using it for a change! However, the GPS is not getting a lock. I have the 3G dongle & an O2 sim card so I would expect Assisted GPS (A-GPS) to be helping with getting an accurate lock?

I have left it for hours and it gets absolutely nothing...BTW, I know its not the GPS module it's self because it worked perfectly on 4.0.4.

One of my main uses for my Archos 80 G9 250GB is for a GPS, I have a car mount etc.

It just seems to be one thing or another with this tablet and its driving me crazy!!

If anyone has any suggestions to get my GPS working again I would very much appreciate hearing them...

Thanks,
[Gen9 Android Development] XtheOne:
I am experiencing a problem with the touch panel with this 4.0.7 ROM.

When I touch the screen and move my finger around then somtimes the OS looses the touch. For a short moment the driver reports that I have lifted my finger, which is not the case!

I notice this the most when I move icons around the screen, they get dropped while moving.

I also saw that with Phone Tester > Multi-touch test it now detects up to 5 fingers. As far as I remember this was only 4 maximum.

It looks like the touch driver is newer in this ROM.

Has anyone also experienced this error?
[Gen9 Android Development] Telyx:
I had something similar happen in northern Michigan--the GPS could see anywhere between 2 and 6 satellites and wouldn't lock. I used the app "GPS Aids" to reset my AGPS data, and suddenly the GPS saw 8 satellites and locked on in under a minute.
[Gen9 Android Development] snakemoore:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I took your advice and installed GPS aid and others and they found 0 satellites. Cleared and updated agps data and still nothing.

However, after a reboot I am now seeing 13 satellite's. I guess I'm not used to the tablet not rebooting its self yet and a reboot never occurred to me!! Still, at least its working again form me now :)

Thanks for the help...
[Gen9 Android Development] omegaRED7:
Hello all,

Does this ROM have init.d support?

Also, has anyone tried some build.prop tweaks (Listed here on xda in other forums, like android hw and hacking general) about touch responsiveness, internet tweaks and so on?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

I think you can not run scripts on init.d for this Rom ! - but you can try ...maybe it's work ...:good:
[Gen9 Android Development] omegaRED7:
OK thanks, will try... init.d folder is there, so maybe it'll work. What's the simplest way to find out if an init.d script has run?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

You need to put a script file in init.d/ , reboot device -> to see if it work !
[Gen9 Android Development] psychopeut:
Hello surdu-petru,

First of all, thank you for this rooted version.

I have a question regarding USB extension. I would like to use an USB stick to extend the memory permanently.

But the problem is when the 101 is going to sleep (automatic or pushing on/off) it will not wake up with pushing the on/off button again. The green light is only dark green on the side. I push the on/off button then again the Archos is rebooting and is showing the Archos bootanimation.

In case I push the on/off button only once (the display remains black) I pull out the USB sick and the display immediately wakes up.

While music playing on the Archos I can push the on/off button for sleep and it will wake up with no problem (with USB stick).

Is this normal because of not sufficient power at wake up or is it correlated to the software?

I have a 101 g9 turbo 1.5Ghz,1GB Ram,8GB, 32GB micro-sd.

Thank you

Hi!

Yes you can do ...but you will lose some improvement stuff that included in kernel 4.0.7 !

rootear the archos

[Hello Surdu-Petru

I've made several attempts to rootear my archos 101 250gb g9, according to your method, however I am not getting.

I do everything as you say, but my tablet just where to start normally.

I tried to paste the file archos.ext4.update in several places, however the result is always the same, do not install.

Will I be able to take a hand.

Sorry the bad english, but I'm from Portugal and Portuguese language not find nehum forum that explains how to rootear the archos.

Thank you for your attention
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

After you push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage ,go to SDE menu and here you need to remove Android kernel , after that flash kernel & initramfs !

Good luck !

GPS Fix

Using GPS Fix - I am still not getting a fix. GPS is working because I get one or two satellites showing. But no more and no fix.

5 questions -

Can someone advise what the different Datum settings are ?

Is there a way of fixing an external GPS arial ?

Has anyone found if it works better in Portrait position or Landscape ?

Is there a proper car charger that doesn't give the 'slow' charge ?

Mine is on Firmware 4.0.7 (Android 4.0.3) according to Settings - About Tablet. Is there any way of putting Honeycomb back on it and where can I download it from ?

[Gen9 Android Development] Telyx:
Update is working OK so far. I don't know if it's essential or not, but I renamed the file from archos.ext4 to archos.ext4.update prior to adb pushing to my tablet.

Only one small problem--App Freezer for Root wouldn't freeze apps until I rebooted a second time.
[Gen9 Android Development] schermvlieger:
Update

I noticed that whenever I reboot the device, it will start with a message saying Android is being updated, and "optimizing application x of y" ... Then after all the applications are "optimized", the lock screen will appear and all is fine (as far as I can see)

There seems to be something that is not quite completely finished with the installation process, making this last part happen again and again with every reboot.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

This is not good! ....you must to see only one the msg "optimizing application..." ...on the first boot !

First of all thanks Surdu-Petru

Rootear finally got my archos 101 250GB G9, according to the instructions you gave me.

I wanted to get you some questions if you answer possible thanked:

- Why do many of the games after installing give me the message that my device is not compatible?

- Why do many of the games and applications on the market say they are not compatible with my tablet?

Is there any way around these problems?

Once again thank you for your attention
[Gen9 Android Development] jsthorpe:
I'll answer this one. Its simple: not all apps and games are compatible with all devices due to hardware differences and capabilities. Its like trying to run a PC game from 2010 on a PC from 1982... it just doesn't work. Or putting a blu-ray disc in a DVD player... I have several Android devices and they all run different versions of Android, they all have very different hardware in them, and so apps that work on one device do not work on another.

I gather you are totally new to computers?

Posted from Android 4.0.3
[Gen9 Android Development] smithmal:
Good answer. I'll also throw this into the mix...

There is a system file (called the build.prop) which tells applications what type of hardware you have. When testing for compatibility, Google Market looks for the information in the build.prop to figure out what type of hardware you have. That information in the build.prop is called the "fingerprint." If the fingerprint matches the compatibility information for the application then you can install if not, then you will get the "your device is not compatibile" message.

Compatibility is tested by the apps developer. Incompatibility doesn't necessarily mean that your hardware will not work with the app but that the deveoper has not offically tested your hardware so compatibility has not been verified. You may find that the G9, in fact, plays very well with the app.

There is a way to fool the Market into thinking that your device is in fact compatible by changing the fingerprint information in the build.prop file. You can do this manually (users are always asking what's the best fingerprint to use for this apk, etc.) by going into the system folder, opening up the build.prop file with a text editor and scrolling down to the fingerprint information line and manually editing it. Then save and reboot. You will need your tablet rooted to be able to do this. You can also use a apk to automatically change the fingerprint information such as "Market Unlocker Pro."

I'm using Market Unlocker Pro and it is automatically changing my build prop to "Verizon (31004)" I haven't had any issues with app compatibility issues to date. The build prop file is as follows:

ro.build.fingerprint=Softwinner/mid/crane-m1003h6:4.0.3/IML74k/20120409:eng/test-keys

Try it out and see if it improves market access.
[Gen9 Android Development] jsthorpe:
Good tip, but changing the build.prop line to the one quoted above did absolutely nothing on my rooted HTC Wildfire S. On reboot, the device hung on the HTC logo, so pulled the battery out and turned the device back on. Everything was normal this time, and upon reboot, I checked the build.prop line hadn't been reset (it hadn't) and went to the Play Store. None of the applications I use on other devices were listed as compatible. So I'd suggest there is more going off than merely checking that single line.

I have had some success with downloading the APK's from Play Store using an APK leecher, pushing them to the device and installing from there. Most of the time, the app works fine. Obviously you need to have purchased the app on another, compatible device before you do this.

localizing a problem

Thank you for the rooted kernel. It is working well on my Archos G9 10.1 250 GB Tablet. I installed the rooted kernel in an attempt to get a full featured Linux going. I found Linux on Android and have been using their app and instructions for getting Ubuntu onto my tablet. However, the trip has not been completely uneventful nor have I arrived at my destination.

Basically, when I open a terminal and run md5sum -c x.md5 where x.md5 points to a file larger than 2 GB it fails with:

md5sum: can't open 'big_file.img': Value too large for define data type

Now, I can play videos and look at images that are larger than 2GB, which leads me to believe that this is an application problem (I have already sent a question to Linux on Android). However, being the kind of person that just has to know why, I thought I would ask here if anyone would like offer a testable hypothesis for isolating the failure point or showing that it could not possibly be the kernel.

My hypothesis are as follows:

1) file system: No, because I can read/write files larger than 2GB not only with adb but with the device itself

2) the kernel: Not likely, being able to watch a 2.6 GB video suggests to me that the kernel can handle it, but clever techniques and streaming the file could hide the actual size from the kernel. I give it 85% confidence that it is not the kernel.

3) the busy box layer: I have no test for this yet...

4) something I have not yet thought of...

As always, thanks for any and help in advance.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

3) ...if is busybox problem...then you must to know that is the original one ( by archos ) !
[Gen9 Android Development] Al.Niessner:
I could not figure out a way to test the busybox layer so I just installed 1.20.2. md5sum and losetup work just fine now. Seems as though the stock version of busybox has some strange 2 GB limitation. Weird, but I have Ubuntu 12.04 running on my tablet. Thanks again for all your help and I really appreciate the 4.0.7 root.
