Hi !

- for all those who want to improve performance , you can use the same kernel ( zImage ) from this OP !
- also, make sure you copy all scripts from /init.d in this rom !

Good luck !

Thanks again for your work Surdu.
I'd like to try this firmware but wonder if it'll be an improvement over 407 at all, with all the issues i experienced with 4026.
At the moment i am using your deodexd/rooted 407 version; will it be easy to revert back to that if the problems i was having with 4026 have not been solved in this latest rom after all?

Hi surdu_petru,

I don't know if it is a problem but i have a strange comportment when my tablet boot.
Usually when the tablet boots, you have a first static screen ' ARCHOS Entertainment" and after the boot animation.
With this rom, i have a black screen during the boot and the boot animation during a short time (less than 5s) just before to have the lockscreen.
If someone can tell me if he had the same comportment please ?

Regards.
