Hi, I own one archos gen 9 1Ghz 512MB classic 10 inch, I possess also a HDMI cable from my tv cons is down, I turn on CM10 version, and I'm ready to play testers for this new rom this it can help. little off topic to say before in official firmware I had the ghost bug screen on the back button of the touch screen, which even with the two methods of calibration remained present from 10 cm this bug has gone against it by m often the screen keeps spreading of fonctioner s only solution reboot, of course my tablet is under guarantee but I install the shower so I pensse any official is no longer valid it you have a solution for me until I am happy loose my nerves and eventually crush the tablet on the wall. sorry for my english I'm french fan of xda;)

Really cool! Thanks Quinny for your work!
My goal was to provide mostly working image, that you can use to finish (with working WLAN and internal storage), but I trapped
into so many pitfalls :(
Details: Through the new "mount_all" commando within the new (and for archos A80S adapted) init.rc scripts, I forgot to mount the rawfs partition which contains the calibrated nvs-binary which is needed for the WLAN driver. Currently I wonder why the wl12xx module isn't "insmod"-'ed by the Android framework. Maybe I can get it working at beginning next week.
It's currently silent from me, but I'm working on it =)

Edit: Found out, that the wlan is not crashing - when using the kernel from surdu but it is crashing (or better blocking the start process with the linaro 4.7 gcc and also with the gcc from CM10.1). Maybe surdo has applied some configuration options?! I PM'd him.
Linux version 3.0.21+ (surdu@surdu) (gcc version 4.4.7 (GCC) )
Any ideas here? Serial output doesn't help.

Now Then Folks!!!

I'll Start with the Good News. I've got storage working and the system is booting using a standard android init which is good for moving forward....

The Bad News : For some reason this has broken Wifi ... I suspect the archos init is probably doing some special work (see below )!

The logcat trace looks like this :
Code: 
E/WifiHW  (  805): Supplicant not running, cannot connect
I/wifi_state_changed(  805): DriverLoadedState
E/WifiStateMachine(  805): Failed to setup control channel, restart supplicant
D/CommandListener(  497): Setting iface cfg
D/CommandListener(  497): Trying to bring down wlan0
I/wifi_state_changed(  805): SupplicantStartingState
I/wpa_supplicant( 1828): Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
I/wpa_supplicant( 1828): rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
E/wpa_supplicant( 1828): Could not set interface wlan0 flags (UP): Invalid argument
E/wpa_supplicant( 1828): nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP
E/wpa_supplicant( 1828): wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface


Archos Init Special Work:
It does seem like they are doing some wifi setup in their init binary, here's part of the strings extract
Code: 
Read ethernet MAC from store Failed.
Wrong Magic : No MAC Store.
Ethernet MAC OK : %02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X
%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X
Wrong Magic : No Ethernet MAC address.
Read Wifi MAC from store Failed.
Wifi MAC OK : %02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X
Wrong Magic : No wifi MAC address.
This is definitely non standard stuff ... The wifi chip wl1271 however is standard and I think we just need to follow the Documentation to set it up properly



Here's a link to the new init files archosg9-cm10-init.tar - 240.00 KB , I thought I'd share them in case anyone fancied having a play. I'm going to have a root around the kernel as it needs recompiling anyway.

couple of notes:
I used Quallenauge Build from this post as the base.... The Current Alpha2 build seems a lot less stable getting lots of FC's!
moved create_sysid createnvs exec commands into services , also moved "mknod omaplfb" into a service. I've commented other exec commands which run archos specific services.

All .rc file must had a uid/gid of root and must be rw-r--r ( 644 )

I had to comment out the chmod 0777 /dev/dce . this is something I've had to do before to get other roms booting with standard android files ...... it's a bit weird that it borks attempting to set the permission on this device node!!!!

Test

Made a fresh start with the new files in github yesterday to help test. Tablet wouldn't boot with the new kernel, init, and modules. Archos splash screen didn't even show up so used the ones from cm10 and wifi, hd video work. Seems very smooth to me but test is limited by lack of access to sdcard. Same problem with permissions, can see the internal and external sdcard but not access them.
MediaScanner( 1131): Error opening directory '/storage/emulated/0/', skipping: Permission denied.
MediaScanner( 1131): Error opening directory '/storage/sdcard1/', skipping: Permission denied.
MediaScanner( 1131): Error opening directory '/storage/usbdisk0/', skipping: Permission denied.
@trevd, need your kernel to test new init, doesn't boot with the one I have.
Tired so off to sleep, will try again later.:)

The kernel must have namespaces support compiled in and sdcard daemon has to be running.
( Gives ps | grep sdcard an result? )

Hi Steve

I had this booting with a standard 4.0.26 ( 3.0.21+ rd@debian ) kernel, you probably want to delete your storage directory if your using standard init stuff.

My Kernel is here - https://github.com/trevd/android_kernel_ti_archos - The config is an heavy work in progress at the minute!!

Hi guys!
Can I boot it with use MultiBoot menu v0.3?"

Yes You can... although I don't know if the data is compatible between cm 10 and 10.1 , I wouldn't expect it to play nice with any other rom data so you'd have to data wipe every time you switch. Kinda defeats the object.

You could always loop mount your data partition to an image file I suppose

Funny, when I tried with the multiboot and the newer zImage it wouldn't boot. I'll try again and see

Working Fine for me here.... that's what i'm using to test the kernel builds.

I've got the CM10.1 image and a fall back 12MB image which boots in CWM but it's more for the adb and being able to reflash a kernel without having to boot back into stock or recovery.

Here a link.... cwm-multiboot.tar - 16.62 MB
the safe.ext4 contains CWM
the initramfs.cpio.lzo is a multiboot ramdisk
the zImage is my current kernel

You'll probably want to use a different kernel because that one is a test one which has the touchscreen drivers built in and some other delights...
It does include /proc/config.gz if you want to grab the config and build the kernel yourself.

Plenty of guides around xda using that methods

Obviously you're on your own with playing around, Kinda Busy at the moment! :D

I flashed this with the ROM's zImage, and it works just fine. The zImage in the tar kills WiFi for me, I assume that's part of your storage fixing antics ;)

Ay.... it comes down to this create_nvs stuff which is part of archos' abcbox binary which I assume is a wrapper for this http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator and as the strings extract from earlier shows , they are at least reading the mac address in the init...

We just have to redo the calibration stuff overselves.. shouldn't be too difficult. I might have a look at the kindle fire stuff because they're on the same hardware and the implementation maybe a little more standard....

    Download and install

    Download the latest ROM to the device's internal memory, the external SD, whatever you're doing. You can get it from here:
    Select the latest ROM from this page - Look at the dates!
    You also will need the latest gapps for CM10.1 here:
    Gapps at Goo.im

    Coming from non-CM10.1 builds
    You must be rooted and have SDE before this
    THIS WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL SD, AFTER YOU HAVE FLASHED THE ZIPS
    1.) Download this zip: cwm-g9 to your PC
    2.) Extract it
    3.) Turn off your G9
    4.) Power on whilst holding volume down, it will boot Archos recovery mode
    5.) Select (Recovery System) > Developer Options > Flash initramfs and zImage (or similar)
    6.) Plug your device into a PC, and a drive will appear
    7.) Copy the extracted zImage and initramfs from the above zip
    8.) Unmount the drive and press POWER to select OK on the device, it will flash the kernel
    FROM THIS POINT YOUR DEVICE WILL NOT BOOT, BUT IT WILL BOOT INTO CWM
    9.) Press OK to reboot, it will boot into CWM
    10.) Select flash zip from sdcard, and select the ROM you downloaded
    11.) Reboot your device
    12.) When it has booted, copy the Gapps again to the internal memory
    13.) Reboot back into recovery - This will be TWRP now
    14.) Flash the gapps as you did before with the ROM, through Install and navigating the menus
    NOTE: If your SD is your external SD, go back, select Mounts, then tick /data, then go to Install and navigate up and then into /data/media, this will be your internal SD
    15.) Reboot, you are done

    Coming from an old CM10.1 build
    THE LATEST BUILD WIPES THE INTERNAL SD!
    1.) Download the update to your device and the Gapps to your PC
    2.) Boot into CWM/TWRP (Depends on version)
    3.) Select Install, and flash the update
    4.) Reboot your device
    5.) When it has booted, copy the Gapps to the internal memory
    6.) Reboot back into recovery - This will be TWRP now
    NOTE: If your SD is your external SD, go back, select Mounts, then tick /data, then go to Install and navigate up and then into /data/media, this will be your internal SD
    7.) Reboot, you have the latest CM10.1

    There's every chance of it working on the HDD Models but like I've mentioned previously it needs some ( well 1 ) HDD owners to be pro-active and provide us with information about the hardware such as the mount points for the hard drivers, which sata controller driver being used and all the other fun stuff :D , Then It needs a willing victim who knows their way around the linux command line and is comfortable with adb to test it out.

    Code:

    Seems someone had neglected to the tell the 1.8v regulator what they need to regulate. - if anyone fancies building there own version of this kernel, the code can be found here https://github.com/Quallenauge/kernel-archos.git and use the trevd_expirimental branch.

    Hi Folks

    I can report Paid apps are working fine now as is external SDCard Storage.

    3G Working Fine at my end.... I needed to take the rfkill line out of the the rc file to enable it, Text Messaging work as well

    With the archos 3G Stick Directly plugged in it works beautifully, :D :good: May as well give those Huawei sticks a blast, they should just work as well.

    Here's a couple of pictures for the family album :D
