Ok, so I finally got it working - to some extend. However, i have not flashed gapps yet.

I have an a101s.

Copied the first steps from TjaXanK

1-Download This: http://www.4shared.com/archive/iGRbUBQg/030.html

2-Download Official SDE from the Archos website

3-Boot into Archos Recovery menu

4-Format Device > Reformat Device

6-Once done, it will ask you to copy the new firmware to the tablet, don't copy anything, just press power button once, and when error comes up click it again

7-Go into developer menu and remove SDE, also remove android kernel

8-Reboot device and go back into the archos recovery menu

9-Select update firmware and copy the .aos that you downloaded on step 2 to the device

10-Press power button on the device and let it do it's thing

11-You will now have to reboot to the archos recovery menu once again and in the developer menu select export data partition

12-With a linux pc, or a windows pc (enabled to copy files to ext3 partitions, you'll need 3rd party software to do this) create a folder called local in the root of the tablet

13-Extract the archive you downloaded on step 1 and copy it to the folder called local that you created on step 12

14-Disconnect the tablet and then flash the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo that where in the archive with the archos.ext4 file

15-get a micro sd card, format it fat32 and copy update-a101s-test.zip and wipe-data.zip on it. Insert sd card

16-Reboot device and you will be presented with CWM Recovery

17-flash both zips, obviously the update-a101s-test.zip first

18-reboot

However, there are some problems:

- since i can't find the sd card anymore, I csnt flash gapps

- in about tablet, it looks like it did not install the update, but instead it still shows i'm on the version I flashed in the beginning

- camera does not work, since the sd card cant be found
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Huh, did you do everything from step 1? I've had none of these problems, recovery can't find the sdcard, but android can, and when I installed it it already had the play store in it, so I had no issues downloading the remaining gapps
[Gen9 Android Development] skyworxx:
I did. I also tried the two other roms versions. It seems gapps breaks it even more.

Your guide seems to be missing the flashing via cwm recovery. If I dont do that, it is just stuck forever at the archos boot logo. If i flash via cwm, iit will boot but almost everything is broken. After flashing gapps it is just stuck at black screen
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Strange! I wiped everything and didn't actually flash anything with CWM... What tab do you have? 101 or 80 ?
[Gen9 Android Development] skyworxx:
101s
[Gen9 Android Development] Forlorn Wongraven:
I love this build, the battery bug is annoying. Can we please get an update build any time soon? PLEASE! :D
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
You do know that you can just start /system/bin/batteryd from the command line or init.d and that should sort it out! :good:
[Gen9 Android Development] muti642:
Battery bug solved : go to /etc/init.d/ and edit 90userinit file with text editor and add batteryd save and reboot . work perfectly
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Ah, that explains everything, I've got the 80s... try following my steps and then copy the ext4.update from the 0.3 zip and updating kernel and initramfs, that might solve things i suspect.. try it wothout actually flashing anything through cwm... I am just guessing, but its worth a shot, in my experience, flashing throught cwm breaks things as you have noticed
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Sorry guys... Have I been keeping that one to myself LOL....

Credit for that should be directed to [MENTION=1655050]revere521[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4607123]Djirin[/MENTION] and Kind of re-enforces the XDA golden rule, always read the thread. :good:
[Gen9 Android Development] coolkid602008:
Yepp I ended up having to use update-a101s-test.zip, followed by gapps, then the wipe zip.

Then it works great on my "A101 G9 1ghz 512mb RAM (OMAP 4430)" version tablet.

One little question though, is it normal for it to boot into recovery (CWM) every time you reboot the tablet?

Edit: Got another issue. I did the battery fix but I did it really late and now my battery won't charge. I've had it charging all day but it's stuck at 0% and it reboots if I unplug it.
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
I'm having the exact same problem on my A80S w/512Mb, right down to needing to keep it plugged in else it reboots. I added batteryd to the init.d scripts. I left it plugged in at my desk at work, so hopefully it will charge over night. If not, I'll try to post a logcat tomorrow.

UPDATE: Leaving it plugged in overnight did the trick. 100% battery life achieved!
[Gen9 Android Development] muti642:
Try first to use the comand in terminal emulator : su valid to use terminal in root mod ans type #batteryd and valid .close terminal emulator , go to folder etc/init.d / and edit file 90usersinit add this line batteryd ans reboot .work perfectly for me on kernel 3.0.58
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Yep, It boots in to CWM every time, that's how it works at the moment!

About the battery: You can either try leaving it plugged in for like 2 hours and seeing if it starts charging, if not, It's the rom so u'll have to re-flash
[Gen9 Android Development] coolkid602008:
Ok yep the battery problem sorted itself out. Took like maybe 4+ hours but it finally fully charged.

Volume rocker issue

Hello everyone,

In stock ROM of G9, volume rocker is linked to media volume, in this ROM it's linked to ringtone volume.

I think it's useless to adjust ringer volume on a tablet.

Is it possible to change the volume type linked to the rocker?

If not, is it possible to sync media and ringer volume (like ringer and notification volume)?

Thanx in advance.

gps problem

hi, I installed update-a101s-test.zip, Followed by gapps, then the wipe zip. the rom has started and everything works fine except the GPS does not work. using GPSTest says that the status of the GPS is off. Can anyone help me? thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] Djirin:
Known problem. No fix at the moment.
[Gen9 Android Development] Helgaiden:
Did all this as instructed

Download the latest version of the ROM from here: http://goo.im/devs/trevd, or from here if Goo is slow for you: http://d-h.st/2nG

Download the latest 4.2 gapps from here: http://goo.im/gapps

Download this wipe file: http://goo.im/devs/trevd/archosg9/cm10.1/wipe-data.zip

Download this 7z file:

http://www.4shared.com/archive/iGRbUBQg/030.html

Extract it, and place archos.ext4.update in /data/local, called "archos.ext4"struggled with this part but es file explorer finally saved the day

Note: if you are using a 101G9, your device will not boot now

Turn off your device

Plug it into a power source (USB or AC) without holding power

It should now boot CWM. it didn't. It hung on the archos logo. I turned it off and booted into the developer recovery menu and loaded then flashed the zimage and that other file from the extracted 7z file. Then after that it booted into cwm.

Select install zip from SD card, then select the ROM zip, from either downloads or goomanager, and flash it

Now do it again, for the gapps zip you downloaded

Now do it for the wipe_data zip you downloaded

I did all this except I flashed it all from the root of the storage where i placed all the files that needed to be flashed

Now reboot, and your device should boot CM10.1.

looked like it was gonna come up, but its just spinning on the cyanogen boot logo. Been like this for 30min now. What should i do now?

Edit: went back into cwm, wiped dalvik cache 3 times, wiped cache partition twice, and wiped data. Flashed rom and gapps, did not flash the wipe zip. This got me further. Currently its on the "android is upgrading. Starting apps" window...crossing my fingers. Been here for a while now.

Edit: nope still no luck

Tried cm_archos_g9-userdebug-4.2.2_JDQ39E-CWM_6.0.3.1-K3.0.58, so far no luck. Same thing. Spinny CM logo on boot :/ Same wit the other rom available there as well. Nothing seems to work.

additional info:

Archos 80 G9 512mb classic.

What Now?
[Gen9 Android Development] Filatov.p:
The last thing we have unsolved running 58 kernel is GPS. Any ideas?
[Gen9 Android Development] Helgaiden:
Well, i ran a logcat during boot. I could see it going and stopping on something then going and stopping, etc. Couldnt tell what though, obviously. Didnt know how to output the file and and copy/pasting didnt seem to work. Blah. Ill try it again later today, but any help or things to try for when i get back to it would be appreciated. I reverted it back to 4.0.28 stock for now (reformat entire device and put the .aos file in to load).

Hi. I installed CyanogenMod10.1 (CWM+3.0.58 by 27.04) and my tablet charge very slow (10 hours and more from 0 to100), but it charged 4 hours on stock rom. Official (3.0.21) kernel has charging sets (in archos_ics\arch\arm\mach-omap2\archos-battery.c) in this file we can edit max charging power (line "case 3: /* charger high (1500mA"). Please correct this set in new 3.0.58 kernel.
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
I've noticed the slow recharge times, as well. I believe that the Archos charger that comes with the tablet has a hardware signal (shorted data lines, I think) that tells the tablet to charge at a higher rate and not listen for data. I know that many ROMs on other devices (my Galaxy S3 for one) have a standard method for setting the kernel to "charge only" that you can set from various kernel tool apps like my personal fav ROM Toolkit. Could something like that be implemented?
[Gen9 Android Development] btrax:
Hi! I have an archos cobalt (so 1.5 GHz and 1Gb of RAM).

I installed the rom supersport and CWM, but when I want to install the zip of CM10.1,it's says the flash is done with no problem, but when I reboot my device, I'm on rom supersport and not on CM 10.1, any Idea?

Arf, I think it's because the tablet is not compatible nop???
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Definitely Not compatible the Cpu is by RockChip this is for TI OMAP boards.
[Gen9 Android Development] freezenook:
I found one more kernel bug (CM by trevd by 27.04). Second kernel can't sleep (it should sleep).

[Gen9 Android Development] Filatov.p:
It was said here a couple pages ago that CM doesn't have such feature, so it won't sleep until CM developers adds it to the source code
[Gen9 Android Development] somekid15:
okay, how can i get this running with overclock kernel from stock rooted, the instructions didnt help me i kept having to restore with aos file
[Gen9 Android Development] freezenook:
OK, but on my SGS2 with CM10.1 (actual nightly build + stock CM kernel) second core sleep well.

Man we can speak Russian in vk)) Why you doesn't write me?
[Gen9 Android Development] MDMonster:
This Atrix 2 has the same CPU and it can deep sleep both cores on CM10.1/PA/PACman. It's not Cyanogen's doing, It's specific to this devices build.

"Extract it, and place archos.ext4.update in /data/local, called "archos.ext4" ?

I don't have that directory on the internal storage. Where do you place it? In the root of the internal storage? Also, where do you place the initramfs.cpio.lzo and zImage or do you disregard those, as the instructions make no mention of placing those files anywhere.
[Gen9 Android Development] revere521:
With the release of 10.1 "stable" will there be another build, maybe with a newer kernel?

[sarcasm] only ask because there is absolutely no work involved :) [/sarcasm]

Thanks in advance
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
There is actually a new build on Goo.im already, from a while ago, but it's available, just need confirmation from trevd to get it pushed out properly
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Sorry.. I've been slack lately. Im trying to get some work done instead of spending all my time on g+ and XDA ( not working obviously :) lol )

Yeah quinny go for it. Unleash the mayhem. :) they've waited long enough lol.

i've been working on the device tree there's a good chance of getting all the hardware working and the next logical step after that is to push it upstream.

Then we can see what fun v5 has in store whenever that comes. :thumbup:
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
New build and instructions in second post, flash away :D

Changelog (trevd did most of this, thanks):

New ext4 layout

More native system layout

Now uses TWRP rather than CWM

"Google Edition" - New boot animation, new camera and new Live Wallpaper

Gapps are now separate
[Gen9 Android Development] revere521:
nice! will try it now and report back
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
I think the GPS is still out on this, It shouldn't be too difficult to get working ( i think ) when I finally get round to having a look,

Also I haven't wired up the 3G yet.

[MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] The kernel location is incorrect the kernel source to use are

https://github.com/Quallenauge/kernel-archos/tree/trevd_expirimental

git clone https://github.com/Quallenauge/kernel-archos.git -b trevd_expirimental [ Must fix that spelling at some point :o ]

The config can be pull from /proc/config.gz on the device

I've deleted the kernel-archos repo in my account to avoid any confusion.

While we're are on the subject of kernels we can't forget the amazing work carried out by [MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION] who has gone to ground at the moment and from looking the commits in the kernel-archos repo, seems to be on a 1 man mission to bring the 3.4 kernel to the G9 series. :good:

Yep so far its backup and running, waiting to see how charging woks. GPS will not enable to test.

will report as i see more...

I'm noticing discharge is a little faster than I experienced on 3.0.21.

Over the last 3 or 4 hrs in standby its dropped almost 30 percent.

[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
You cannot, apps do not install to SD on Android 3.0+

You could only partition the SD and use Link2SD, but that would be pointless really

How do you use 16gb with apps?

[Gen9 Android Development] dekaru01:
Hey guys. I've just taken the plunge and installed this on my 80 g9 turbo 1.5 ghz, 1 GB RAM.

Unfortunately I've come across a big issue. Basically once the tablet goes to sleep, either by me pressing the button or the screen timing out, I just can't wake it up anymore. Pressing the power button like usual simply doesn't do anything. The only thing I can do is hold it for a few seconds and then the tablet reboots.

While it's in this strange sleep state from which it can't be woken up, the screen doesn't seem to actually be off, it looks more like it's displaying the color black. Also, the little green led thingie is blinking fast.

Any ideas? Needless to say, because of this the ROM is pretty much unusable for me. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

New symptom: if I leave it "asleep" without attempting to wake it, then it reboots by itself every few minutes. But it's a short reboot, followed by a "starting apps" message briefly before showing the home screen.

Help...
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
I had a similar problem the first time I tried CM10.1 on this tablet. (Albeit a much earlier draft.) More than likely, this is a problem with your installation procedure which can be very tricky with this ROM. My suggestion would be to wipe the device and start over from a stock Archos ROM. From there, follow the instructions for Coming from non-CM10.1 builds from the first page very carefully.
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
hey, I won't have anything said against our 15 step installation procedure.... When you install this rom, you not only get cm 10.1 but you also get a sense of personal achievement. LOL :)
[Gen9 Android Development] dekaru01:
I did follow the procedure to the letter, so to speak, so sorry but I don't see any point in repeating it.

In fact, I really appreciate that the installation instructions are now laid out as nicely as they are. Before, I couldn't make much sense of them, which is why I've only tried the ROM now. I'm not a noob in flashing things, I've been doing it on my phones for years (custom ROMs all the way!).

Obviously I thank everyone that has worked on this ROM for bringing our beloved tablets into the present. I just want to be able to actually use the ROM, that's all.
[Gen9 Android Development] warezjunk:
My tablet also keeps booting...after 1 evening ok.

Hello, with the new how to, I was able to modified my tablet to cm. I had and have now sometimes touchscreen issues, is there any way to calibrate the screen??
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
[MENTION=4095209]warezjunk[/MENTION] so what the current state of your device. From that I gather the you're over your initial random reboots?

The tablet will always boot into recovery from cold. That is by design the make the development process easier. Just select reboot system in twrp and the rom should boot
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
1.) Power off the device

2.) Boot whilst holding volume down > it will boot archos recovery

3.) Select Repair System > Force touchscreen calibration

4.) Follow instructions

I have this exact same problem also, and I installed over the old build and fresh install. Do any of the developers have any problems with this also?
[Gen9 Android Development] Filatov.p:
1.5Ghz, 1gb RAM, 4460.

Don't know what i did wrong. Was on previous build, simply flashed the new one as guide says, got bootable rom... But after making any changes in setting the app crashes itself and it becomes impossible to use upper bar (it doesn't react and reloads after a while). Is it me or rom?
[Gen9 Android Development] dekaru01:
OK, so something incredibly strange happened.

After posting the things before, I got sick and tired of the tablet's behavior, so I decided to reflash the ROM and gapps, wiping everything beforehand in recovery.

So did that. And everything worked fine for about 5 minutes, when the odd behavior (no response when screen was asleep, rebooting by itself every few minutes, generally feeling frozen and crashy with the notification shade not coming down at all, etc.) started to reappear.

At this point I let it charge for about 24 hours, since I didn't have time to deal with the issues, and the battery was showing around 18% left.

And guess what? After taking it off the charger after around 24 hours,... everything seems to work. I've already 'actively' used it for around 4 hours, and... nothing. All the symptoms are gone. It sleeps normally, and didn't (yet?) freeze or self-reboot at all.

Talk about strangeness.

Still, I have a few issues:

- Settings > Storage shows Total Space as being 1.57 GB. Where's the rest?!

- the 'phablet' interface is really annoying - is there any way to get the proper tablet interface back?

- the battery percentage reporting seems off to me. Right now it's been off the charger for more than 4 hours, of which I've actively used it (with Wi-Fi on) around one hour, and yet it still says "100" next to the battery.

- battery stats (in Settings) are nowhere to be found ("Battery usage data isn't available").

Once again, thanks for caring enough about these 'obscure' devices to make this ROM. I hope you won't stop working on it, and perhaps fixing the issues above - that would be just peachy :)

Btw, while it was exhibiting the abnormal behavior I described earlier, connecting it to my PC via USB cable instantly froze it. And it froze before Windows had a chance to identify it. So, as far as I can tell, I wouldn't have been able to use ADB to get logs. If it happens again, I'll definitely try.

And finally, details about my tablet: 80 G9 1.5 GHz 1 GB RAM (OMAP4460).
[Gen9 Android Development] TTLucian:
So... Anybody tested HDMI on latest builds? Does it work?

Thanks!
