New kernel. v1.4 final. - 1GHz by default

It will be THE kernel for our tab under ICS.

cpu spy works with it.

-i have rewrite the method to select the freq.

-bug with 720mhz freq is fix.

-stability improved

-possibility to oc the cpu

-you can use Voltage Control/SetCPU/CPUSpy (can't see 1.1Ghz, don't know why)

How install it:

juste rename it......blah blah.... see first page.

how oc your cpu.

just change the value with a root explorer in the file in:

/sys/power/mpu_freq_opp5

You will loose the change after a reboot!

but if you find your oc stable write the line in the init.rc, under " # Enabling power management features":

write /sys/power/mpu_freq_opp5 1100

Bizcuite have you heard about ROW scheduler ?

It's kinda new and is supposed to run reading tasks with an higher priority than writening ones so the responsive is increased.

Btw I will install the new kernel in the hour. Thank you so much you are amazing !
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

No i have heard nothing about this schedul.

I don't know if i can implemented it on the kernel, i will see if i can merged the code into our kernel.

Fyi seeders is in version 1.4. I have installed it and has an effect.

Biz.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Installed 1.4 kernel, installed Apex Launcher, no issue so far.

Seems that there are a lot more applications available on Play Store, that's great!

Great job Biz!

I think it can be useful for us but if it is too much work don't do it. You are the leader of the project, you do whatever seems better in your opinion ;)

Also has anyone noticed that sometimes the first notification is not displayed when you expand the notification drawer? And (if I am right, but I might be mistaking) there should not be any space between the top and the notifications right?

But I have just installed the new kernel and I'm very happy with it. Good job Bizcuite !

Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

I think that wifi driver is the cause of SoD. I have compile another rom with user option (atm it's engineer) and when my tab back to sleep mode,my cpu is at 100% since 45 secondes and crash the tab sometimes. When i deactivate the wifi all works well. I deactivate debug and recompile.

I try to find a solution for audio noises.

The driver actually in the rom is a port from another.

I try to find the good code to compile myself driver.

I know, i use it by default.

Opera doesn't worked since i have modify CM9 code. The compatibility mode that i have added by default must crash opera.

Wait the next release (not for next days, i don't know when),

Try others app.

i work on it ATM and try to compile good files to have a cleaned sound.

CM9 is very different on this point than CM7 (not sames files, libraries or configuration). Alsa folders cannot worked.

The files that i use for my CM9 provides from another ROM, with similare hardware.

Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

Have you installed a lot of applications ?

And which data image have you choose ?

Because if you are using the 250Mb and it is too tight for you, try the 500Mb or 1Go one ;)

[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

I think it has to be on the internal storage

And you will loose all the data on the 256Mb image (because you will have to delete it)
[Gen8 Android Development] erdemdengel:
Install CM9 Image:

-uncompress image of CM9 downloaded

-copy paste image on the root of internal sdcard (like CM7)

-uncompressed data.img.tar.gz if it's not done, choose an image and rename it like data_ICS.img

-copy/paste the data_ICS.img (I put 512MB version) to the root of the sdcard (like CM7)

No change. Still I have 256mb data :(

Put the data image on the root of the internal sd.

FYI

I work on sound and(think to) have compiled all libraries to used sound driver.

But the driver is not configured properly (device partially not recognize but code source provides from amlogic device).

Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

Have you configure the menu.lst file? ;)

It is the file who run the cm9. Without it you have nothing.

Copy/paste the exemple that i have put on the first page and change the name of the file image by openaos-cm.img if you have rename it like this.

[Gen8 Android Development] erdemdengel:
Yes I modified the menu.lst like that:

It's for jellybean and can make nothing with this.

The code is different between ics and jb to select the ui mode. I have already try this solution and no result...

I have made lots of progress on sound. Just one thing to fix, the route of sound is badly configurate. Bluetooth is taken by default, i must plug and unplug the headphone jack to have sound on speakers :D

I fix this point and upload a new release.

I hope that noise on sound will be fix, i cannot verify with this pb, the noise appears when the drivers is closed, and i cannot heard it.

do i do something wrong?

[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Hi guy,

It's an alpha version, the installation of the rom is not simple, i am agree, it's normal, i will simplify the "how to" when the alpha version will be finished.

Your kernel is not installed properly.

Go to sde in "install kernel and initramfs" option: install again the kernel and initramfs one by one, I think that the kernel is not well installed, the file is corrupt or you have uncompressed the file, if yes you must rename it only like this: "zImage".

Don't forget to start the tablet in dev mode not in normal mode in SDE Menu and configure the menu.lst file correctly.

Hi, today i finally installed the latest version and i can say i have lots of apps in market now, but on my a101it i have horrible lag, i have no ideea why, and also i still cant select a wallpaper, is there anything i should do to have it lagfree again like in the version i had before today, and what zimage should i have used, cause i used the 1.4 one and the normal initramfs.cpio.gz, also im using the 1gb data image, is that a problem, or what may be the problem, cause i remember preety sure it wasnt so laggy in the older versions?

Re: [AlphaTest] ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - ALPHA - V1.2 - NEW KERNEL-STABILITY IMPRO

Our tabs only have 256mb of ram so ics will be laggy

Also try using a smaller data.img it makes the rom a little bit faster

I thought ROM development for these tabs ended a while ago, with UrukDroid!

NOW I have ICS ON MY 101!!

and, the best thing is, that CM CAN actually run on these tabs! Think about it, the Samsung wave has CM10!

that still doesent explain: 1 why i didnt have so much lag in older version (cause i allways used 1gb image) and 2 why i cant update superuser binary, and 3 swapper (or swapper 2) cant create a swap file saying i only have 3368mb spcae free and its not enought for whatever swap file size i choose (even 1mb)

Hi thx for ya replys so far.

I uploaded the kernel again and now i see openaos and the sort of grub menu. But when i change in recovery mode the menu.1st the edit left after reboot.

Also i sort of managed to choose a .img in the grub like menu but with all .img i get a black screen....

Ofcourse i do something wrong... but what?

My order:

First i uploaded kernel and that other file :). then i needed to restart by pressing OK (power button).

i restarted and go again into recovery mode. (firmware upgrade) and put the img's in the root (the cm9.img and the ICS_Data.img)

then i started to see a sort of grub menu but whatever i do no succes....

someone willing to help... ?

[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
You can create a menu.lst file with something like notepad and add this line:

ICS||/openaos-cm.img|/init|0Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init

Rename the /openaos-cm.img with the real name of your .img file (not the Data_ICS one) and copy the menu.lst to the root of your internal storage (where .img files should also be)

It should do the trick.

That's how I proceed myself.
[Gen8 Android Development] someone755:
Okay,looks like im having issues installing the rom...

I get the kernel.install part

But i dont understand what to do after! What do I extract and how do i reame it!?

Also,the zip with 3 imgs inside cant be extracted... it just sits at 75%!

(So basically i only installed the kernel and the img from mediafire... seemed fine tho, until the second reboot... now everything keeps crashing! And i have no space left...

So please,can someone simplify the tutorial? Its just messy and an archos noob like me can really have trouble...)

Thanks for any tips!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Have you wipe the old CM9 data?

ATM for each version of CM9 you must wipe the all the data. You must wait that i find a good way to update only system files.

The file is named -gapps-ics-20120429-signedremake_all_dpi_works.zip, just change the name without the "-" char and copy/paste it in download folder in "/mnt/storage/download".

In which aim? This project is just a personnal project to understand how Android works , that i share ;)

It's my first experience in Android compilation ^o^, but it works well and i fix all alone for the moment

And last thing, i don't think that Archos takes time to help me to dev an old tab, maybe i am wrong.

But if, they has a kernel compatible with our tabs up than 2.6.29 i take it :cool:

No problem :D

Just redownload the file or change your soft to uncompressed the archive. Use "peazip" or other under windows.

The rom doesn't used the data_ICS.img file when i see your error (i had the sames yesterday i had forgotten to rename the file).

Try to reinstalled a new data_ICS.img file.

Reinstalled the CM9 image file too, i think that you had installed Gapp, and all crashed after a reboot.

In this case, all the image file is corrupt.

To be simple (i considere that you have already made a menu.lst with this line into: "ICS||/openaos-cm.img|/init|0Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init" -> Use Notepad++ under windows not Notepad -> copy/paste it in the root of the internal sdcard):

-Download all files (CM9 image - kernel - initramfs - data image)

-uncompress CM9 image and rename it like this "openaos-cm.img" => copy/paste in root of internal sdcard of the tab

-uncompress data files - rename one of 3 files "data_ICS.img" => copy/paste in root of internal sdcard of the tab

-Rename the kernel zImage_V1.4_Final.zip to "zImage" don't uncompressed the initramfs file.

-install kernel and initramfs and reboot - first boot takes time

-rename Gapp: -gapps-ics-20120429-signedremake_all_dpi_works.zip tp gapps-ics-20120429-signedremake_all_dpi_works.zip => copy/paste in download folder in the internal sdcard of sdcard of the tab

I hope that will help you.

I will updated it with the next release (this week end i will release a new one, BT fix or not). I find the tab more stable and smooth with the version that i use ATM. But the video under youtube are very bad (i have modified the policy of uses of codecs).

-Sound will be fully working (microphone - headphone - speakers - cannot try BT of course) and has AOSP conditions

-Camera libs are include but crashed (pb with preview function, and front face cam not recognize)

-Hard decoding may be activated on some video files, but perf. not improve. (see why)

then i go into recoverymode and go to repair mode usb msc?

i got the internal disk then and make the menu file with the line your telling us.
