OpenAOS Multiboot and Gingerbread on Archos Gen8 devices

[khaledbebo9]

does bluetooth work on this plz :)

[GaryRoweFTW]

Sorted now, in case anyone else is having the same problem, i removed the .img from the file name so it was just openaos-gingerbread and eureka!

[GaryRoweFTW]

Not working on my 101 gen8, what am I doing wrong? The Gingerbread boot doesn't show up in OpenAOS, do I need to download a different img file for step 3?

[jukpulfer]

gingerbread does'nt work on my 70 IT :(

[nikobelictheserb]

i ve noticed you 've put a finger left on the frame, while scrolled on archos.is it that cuz bad reacting a capacitive display,when the device laid down?

is a70 faster on gingerbread?

thx in advance.

[freemanwhore]

does this work on the archos home tablet with v2 firmware?

[arctablet]

@freemanwhore Nope, Archos 7HTv2 is not a Gen8 device.

I've noted that Bluetooth and Audio isn't working on this Cyanogenmod release. I did start doing the video tutorial untill i read that. It's maybe worthwhile mentioning this on the video so people don't aimlessly follow it thinking the new ROM is going to be all singing and all dancing.

Thank you very much, got my 101 working! Only thing is though, the screen is upside down for me, when booting the 'openAOS' logo is upside down, & the screen wants to be (having to rotate it to use properly). What could be the reason for this?

[jerseyman9080]

zimage link is broken, please help.

[rekaepa]

Can you do a video on Archos 32? :<

[TheReyboricua]

why is it upside down on my 101? O.o



[CCCalp]

Can I find the song somewhere?

[arctablet]

@CCCalp Yes, if you check the end of the video.

[CCCalp]

@arctablet Thanks for your super fast answer! :-)

[spinspermy]

So no need for linux?

[channel48]

You guys hating on me ?

[julbra18]

so i just install it like an official archos update and after installation it reboots into cyanogenmod 7??

[rgstever]

does this work on the archos 101

[alexeybariyev]

@rgstever yes, sure

[lochloast]

of all the things not working for it on the 43IT, the SUSPEND :( only thing keeping me from using it atm but otherwise it works ok.

[whatsthatcominggo]

Hi, would you be able to show a video of how you update the rom please?

[injdocat]

@figloveu Same here, it looks good from what I've seen!!! :)

[figloveu]

I can't wait to see a video of cm7 in action :D 

[danielsf94]

@arctablet Thanks, I can't wait to try it out when it's more stable and when i talk to archos about my archos 70it usb host failure :) I saw that you have the archos 70 it, do you have the problem of the lcd distorting when you put a bit of pressure on the back of the tablet like when you touch the lcd screen on a laptop. Sorry I know it's of topic :)

[arctablet]

@danielsf94 Yes, the LCD does distort a bit when applying a bit of pressure on the back of the device, this is probably related to the plastic/metal casing used on the products... Not much to worry about in my case.

[killswitch3ngag3]

@arctablet hey, when i select gingerbread from the boot menu it still loads into my regular OS.. Please help :(

[sensitivebeat]

@killswitch3ngag3 you didnt get the one with "gen8" in it's name. it doesnt work unless you use that one.

[danielsf94]

Hi, would you please be able to do a in depth video on how the beta cm7 runs on the tablet please? Thanks :)

[arctablet]

@danielsf94 Will do in few days, when the firmware gets more stable (it's improving a lot these last days) ArcTools is fixed to install Market & GApps there.
