Success report :)

flashed my german AC100-10k (8GB, no 3G) with the "v4a 117"-ROM yesterday. All (Google Mail, Marketplace, Google Maps etc., Contact) works like a charm, only the Google Calendar is missing here.

A big "Thank You" to Mr. silver-alx, now this little netbook is finally useable.

Thank again,
V.

From silver-alx words :D
you have to use terminal....;)
1-create a folder where you can mount device, tipically "/storage/ntfs"
2-then you must digit on terminal:
"su root"
then click enter and digit:
"mount -t ntfs -o ro,umask=0,fmask=0,dmask=0 /dev/block/sda1 /storage/<mounting point>" where mounting point is "ntfs"

I'll see images in this evening because my work office proxy avoid me visiting imageshack....sorry :mad:

EDIT:
I've seen images...
Have you verified which partitions are mounted when you use external hd?
For example, I've 5 partitions (sda, sda1, sda2 etc...) but the right partition to mount is sda1.
Try to mount others partitions... ;)

Have you created a "ntfs" folder where you'll mount device?
Have you verified which partitions are mounted? (see above, in my previous answer)
the steps are these:
1) open terminal;
2) type "su root" ---> ENTER;
3) type "mkdir /storage/ntfs" ---> ENTER;
4) type "mount -t ntfs -o ro,umask=0,fmask=0,dmask=0 /dev/block/sda1 /storage/<mounting point>" where mounting point is "ntfs" ---> ENTER;
5) verify that in the folder "/storage/ntfs" there are device's files;

That's all.... :)
Tell me if you have problems... ;)

I'have no ideas for your problem, I think that you have to wait a silver-alx related answer.

TRAD:Sinceramente su questioni legate al flash penso ti convenga aspettare una risposta di silver-alx...io non ne so un granchè.

P.S. Mi sa che conviene scrivere in inglese per una maggiore comprensibilità da parte di tutti....anche se con un inglese un po' maccheronico :D

Oh, what a fool! :eek: You're right!!! Sda2 is the right partition for me, but strangely, i can't see the content of some system folders, btw it works! Thank you!!!

yes, fine - but if you once selected a contact - the software switches to the landscape mode (correct view) - showing all you contacts.
More important - what is with the internal webcam? Seems that Skype does not support the internal webcam of the AC100 because video calls (video chat) is not possible?

Thanx -Kai

    So it appears that sometimes market init it works, sometimes not ... Strange

    I played and did many factory resets to find the right way and now it works :D (triple checked!)
    I have a ac100-114 (French, no 3g), with android 2.2 and rooted with z4root.
    (For anyone playing with adb : before doing anything, make backups with the tegra tools, and be careful with this powerful tool!)

    I also used a package from cyanogenmod : the gApps from tegra. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps)

    I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
    http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list and here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:

    Into /system/app/
    GenieWidget
    GoogleBackupTransport
    GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
    GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
    GoogleFeedback
    GoogleServicesFramework
    MarketUpdater
    MediaUploader
    NetworkLocation
    Talk
    Vending
    Youtube *

    Into /system/framework/
    com.google.android.maps.jar

    Into /system/lib/
    libspeech.so
    libvoicesearch.so

    Into /system/etc/permissions/
    features.xml
    com.google.android.maps.xml

    * I had to replace Youtube.apk (in attachment) : I don't know why, but the one from cm is not working and prevent, even without launching it, the login into the market. I retrieved it from my hd2 running android ;-)
    Installing maps in /system/app prevents Market initialization.

    Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.

    Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
    Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
    The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
    Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
    Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.

    The third launch should be the right one ! :)

    You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market :D
    Gmail can be installed from the market. ;)
    Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.

    Problems:
    For maps you will have to get the apk somewhere else.
    The calendar is missing. :(

    Hi, All!

    Some answers :)

    1. Differences between all models are size of memory and radio interfaces. I've made two versions because of different memory sizes (custom kernels doesn't work without it). If you have 8gigs - use 117 version, 32gigs - 116.
    2. ROM already have bluetooth gps provider.
    3. bl=bootlog for linux lovers :)

    Thanks for pointing out where is the FC cause !
    I did some more tests, and it seems that if the packages.xml gets modified, followed by sync (just in case, I don't know anything about caching on the ac100), and then a kill -9 -1 is executed, the added permission stays, even if the packages.xml gets scrambled after reboot :)
    For me it works : no more FCs :)

    I found another thing : in order to see apps in the market that asks for the gps (maps, catch notes ...), just had this line to /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.location.xml, in the <permissions> tag :

    <feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />

    (Make a backup of the file first ;))

    So the bottom part of the file should look like :

    <permissions>
    <feature name="android.hardware.location" />
    <feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />
    <feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
    </permissions>

    But in order to get it working, you will need to login to the market for the first time, so a factory reset is required :(

    5. Ad Blocking
    6. Titanium Backup
    7. Terminal Emulator

    3G modem only with alternative ROM like "aComb100 v0.4 Honeycomb 3.0.1"
    But never tried.
    In features you can read:
    "- 3G modems (usb or internal) start automatically;"
