ICS test firmware tackling Wi-Fi and HDMI issues

---

Please check the following firmware and report in this thread if it solves your Wi-Fi or HDMI issues.

http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9...archos_it4.aos

There might be still some audio out problems with HDMI with OMAP4430 ES2.2 based platforms (check in settings->about tablet->OMAP version): we are still working on it and will come up with a solution shortly.

Thank you for your help/feedback and patience.

very tempting to try... but i will wait for someone to make a custom rom with root out of it...

This ROM is not intended to get custom ROM, with root and other options.

As far as i understood it is just a test ROM for users who have troubles with the official ICS update to check if this solves their issues.

Thus, if you are impacted, then just download it and test if it corrects WiFi and HDMI issues.

Cheers,

I am an Archos staff, I do not do custom firmwares: I do the real ones

Downloaded and installed:
-when updated from GUI (.aos copied to Gen9 when Android was running) resulted in no backlight after reboot; installation from recovery was successful
-as before Reset Android is required for the update, otherwise boot process hangs during dalvik-cache rebuilding

-Wifi works better but still sometimes disconnects- connected to 802.11n SoftAP (ar2971 usb wlan+ built-in Win7 wifi AP)

-there are no problems connecting to 802.11g- wifi tethering on HTC Desire (CM7.2, Android 2.3.7)

Sorry, I can't test HDMI- I don't have proper monitor/TV

I misplaced my charger cable..so I'm not able to test this. If I find it i will test this out and report my findings.

My tablet Archos 8" gen 9 8go/omap 4430 ES2.2 ...
Box : Freebox v5

Problem : yes
in audio/video archos application i see the files in twice !those files are on SC card

I'm having some 'strange' issues on wifi, so have downloaded this update and will apply it and let y'all know shortly if it breaks / fixes anything

- EDIT- So far so good. The firmware installed without a hitch (I copied it to root of Internalstorage and selected Yes when tablet asked to upgrade). It rebooted, upgraded firmware, rebooted, optimized applications and nothing seems broken. However, it DOES (so far) seem to have fixed the issue I had with Wifi - the issue I had was when I click on a UTL, it loads the browser (I use Dolphin HD) and this says 'Cannot load the page as there is no internet conenction' but then it loads the page anyway. This (so far ) is not happening anymore. Will play with the tablet this weekend and update this post if I have more.

For the record - my tablet is OMAP4460ES1.1 (whatever that means) - Archos 80 G9 16GB Turbo

Installed the test-firmware, same wifi-problems as before. There is no stable connection possible (my router: fritzbox 3270).

Archos g9 80 turbo 1,2 ghz

I've forgot to mention- my Wifi AP is using wpa2 with AES encryption

Other thoughts- confirmation dialogs in recovery would be usefull (I've wiped storage by mistake today....)
