Iwant to throw my archos 70 out of the window

---

Hello everyone
I have been a loyal archos user for a year now, first with the a5IT and now the 70 internet tablet. As form factor I love the Archos 70 internet tab but the software is killing me it is so slow, what can I do to make it fast again?

speed tweaks

What in particular is slow?

If scrolling home screens is slow, or icons are taking time to show up (or refresh) try a different launcher than the default. Popular ones lately have been Go Launcher, ADW.Launcher, and Zeam.

Are you using the most recent firmware update? (2.0.71 has sped the systems up quite a bit from the older versions)

Are you using an SD card? (If so try adding a file named .nomedia to the card to reduce the gallery from spending time scanning).

Did you install Google Voice? (If not, you should refrain from it since, it is dragging down a lot of systems).

What speed (in settings) do you have your processor set to run. (The most responsive is the Overdrive setting).

If you want to know how to speed your system up you'll need to tell us what is slow about it.

The overall system is getting really unresponsive and what bugs me the most is when I try to install any app through .apk the device fails on me and freezes. Basically when I try to instal any app it freezez when I try to use an app it freezes most of the time

I am using the latest update with the middle setting for power but overdrive doesn't make a big difference. I am running adw launcher which helped and is really good compared to the stock launcher.

The device freezes a lot and thats not because of me having a lot of apps when I get home I will try reinstalling the update keeping the device on overdrive for a long time and will report back

i would do a reset. it really is not as bad as it sounds.

market will tie your purchases to your account, just power off, hold vol-down and power up. choose reset, and then reset device( i do & storage). make sure firmware is 2.0.71, and install gapps5. then just watch what you install, and uninstall things you don't use.

Yeah, it sounds like you need to do a full reinitialization and then reinstall the newest firmware.

My A70 was literally not usable after I tried to upgrade. It was freezing every minute. After a reinstall, everything works great.

And don't forget to set your CPU to overdrive. Really doesn't affect battery too much, and the speed is noticeable.

I turned off the animated live wallpaper. Made my 101 noticable faster.

Deinstall VoiceSearch

You should deinstall the updates of VoiceSearch ....

thanks guys I did a full reinitiolization (not sure bout spelling) and now it is working better, i chose not to install the market and just use applanet for what i want to download, working good now but we'll see how it ends up after a few days of use.
thanks guys you were really helpfull.

dont know if the contents of your memory were wiped with your full reinitialization but i have noticed that every time i install an app i get the little pop up saying that the device is updating its library. this would explain why it would appear to grind to a halt when you install anything

the contents of my memory card did get wiped and i've noticed the less things in the internal memory the better. this is because archos did not partition the internal memory for the users the should have left maybe 2gb for the system and apps and the rest for us to use like what is on the galaxy s, that is what mae the device not lag.
