HI ALL !!!


The New CUSTOM ROM ICS : Stable, Fast and Nicely !!!

This Custom Rom ( based on Firmware 4.0.6 ) should be work for all Archos G9 ....but you need to activate SDE menu !

Root version with busybox, module tun.ko, overclock posibility and now, a new thing : posibility to use both processor for almost every Governor !!!

Some app was removed ... and few applications have been added ( Root_Browser, Root_Check, Android_Terminal, No Frills CPU Control, Spare_Parts+, Quadrant_Standard, Books_Play),

The following applications have been updated (/system/app/) : Maps, Google+, Street, Market Play, Music2, Gmail.

Application Launcher2 was updated/modified and by installing this Custom Rom, you lose previous settings for this application !


UPDATE : 04/06/2012

- bootanimation was changed !
- update busybox to v1.20.0 - Stericson !
- fixed touchscreen problem - driver was updated !
- Stweak for enable the second core in all Governor was moved in system/Stweak
( if you want to enable the both core in all Governor just copy Stweak in system/etc/init.d/ - and reboot )
- update kernel ! ( for proper overclock ) ;

Download :

For all users -> for enable overclock , please flash the Test 9 zImage ( in the second post => Test Overclock Kernel !)

Update - The New Custom ROM 04/06/2012 => https://hotfile.com/dl/158453739/acc..._2012.zip.html

FOR UPDATE TEST KERNEL => please look to the next post "Test Overclock Kernel" !

All devices will boot with frequency = 1GHz ! && Default Governor = interactive !
TI OMAP 4430 ( 1GHz stock freq.) => 300MHz -> 600MHz -> 800MHz -> 1.0GHz -> 1.1GHz -> 1.2GHz -> 1.3GHz -> 1.35GHz ;
TI OMAP 4430 ( 1.2GHz stock freq. ) => 300MHz -> 600MHz -> 800MHz -> 1.0GHz -> 1.1GHz -> 1.2GHz -> 1.3GHz -> 1.35GHz -> 1.4GHz;
TI OMAP 4460 => 350MHz -> 700MHz -> 1.0GHz -> 1.2GHz -> 1.5GHz -> 1.6GHz;

************************************************** **************
The New Custom Rom 26/05/2012

This Custom Rom includes :

- root access;
- busybox ;
- some icon changed ;
- some wallpapers changed ;
- modified Launcher2 ;
- windows animations and posibility to turn off with app Spare Parts+ ;
- overclock posibility ;
- posibility to enable the both cpu on a not hotplug Governor ;
- enabled init.d/ to run scripts ;
- new bootanimation ;
- battery percentage ;

Here you find the files you need, for instal this Custom Rom :

- archos.ext4.update - in archive rom_26_05_2012.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/156898285/7dd..._2012.zip.html
- zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo - in archive 26_05_2012.zip => http://www.2shared.com/file/iqjadiIa/26_05_2012.html

Install :

- copy archos.ext4.update in /mnt/storage/ , you can use this command > adb push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage/
- go to SDE -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo -> OK! -> wait to reboot .....
- after everything was installed - please reboot your device !


Overclock Frequency :

TI OMAP 4430 1GHz Stock , Overclock -> 1.06GHz; 1.12GHz; 1.18GHz; 1.24GHz => ( 1GHz on boot ) ;
TI OMAP 4430 1.2GHz Stock, Overclock -> 1.26GHz; 1.32GHz; 1.38GHz; 1.44GHz => ( 1.2GHz on boot ) ;
TI OMAP 4460 1.5GHz Stock, Overclock -> 1.56GHz; 1.62GHz; 1.68GHz; 1.74GHz => ( 1.5GHz on boot ) ;

While the Governor hotplug has the ability to disable one core when not needed, the other Governor has no ability to turn it back !!! I implemented in this Rom something to turn this core on !
To activate the second core, you need the following steps :
- open No-frills CPU Control :
- choose the desired Governor ( but not hotplug ) !
- choose the desired frequency , but not overclocked ! ( when the device will boot - will open with the selected frequency , so please choose max. frequency = your max. stock frequency )
- check "Apply on boot"
- check "Applay"
- check allow if superuser asked permission
- reboot your device !
- Now , both core are available in your selected Governor ( other than hotplug ! ).
( you can check this in Quadrant Standard -> System information : you will see - Cores: 2 / Cores available to Java: 2 )

Bootanimation




Do not overclok your device for long periods of time ! Overclocking , especially on boot may damage your device !

If you have some problem with touchscreen , please go to Settings -> Repair & formatting -> Touch screen calibration !

Test Overclock Kernel !

Hi!


UPDATE : 05/06/2012 - Test kernel for all TI OMAP !

Test 3 zImage => http://www.2shared.com/file/I_BntmLe/zImage-3.html

zImage test 3 :
- improve overclock in OMAP4430 -> now seem to be stable all oc frequency ! Now, the max. overclock frequency work well and will NOT underclocked your device !!! ( wait some test with OMAP4430 stock 1GHz & 1.2GHz )
- for OMAP4460 - enable 1.6GHz ;

Screensave : TI OMAP4430, stock 1.2GHz :
Overcloked to 1.4GHz :

Overclocked to 1.35GHz


The Test 3 zImage - seems to be the best overclock kernel ( until now ) - Only for OMAP4430 !!! So, please flash this kernel if you want a stable and fast overclock kernel !
The Test 9 zImage - seems to be the best overclock kernel ( until now ) -> TI OMAP4460 & TI OMAP4430 !!! So, please flash this kernel if you want a stable and fast overclock kernel !


UPDATE 18/06/2012 :

OC = 1.4GHz;

The new max. entry => 2684 for TI OMAP4430 on 1.4GHz !!!!
Test 8 zImage - now seem to be enable more freq. in OMAP4460 !!!
zImage => http://www.2shared.com/file/fkdwHlh4/zImage.html

Frequency :

TI OMAP4430 ( stock 1.0GHz) => 300 -> 600 -> 800MHz -> 1.0 -> 1.1 -> 1.2 -> 1.3 ->1.35GHz
TI OMAP4430 ( stock 1.2GHz) => 300 -> 600 -> 800MHz -> 1.0 -> 1.1 -> 1.2 -> 1.3 ->1.35 -> 1.4GHz
TI OMAP4460 ( stock 1.2GHz) => 350 -> 700MHz -> 1.0 -> 1.2 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.7GHz
TI OMAP4460 ( stock 1.5GHz) => 350 -> 700MHz -> 1.0 -> 1.2 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.7 -> 1.75 -> 1.8GHz

Please , do not use 1.8GHz - seem to underclock your device !!!
Thanks for testing !

The best Overclock Kernel Test 9 zImage , source2 ( TI OMAP4430 & TI OMAP4460 ) !!!
Thank you very much to Shano56 for testing !!!

yay!! thanks

Hi ! Thanks !

I don't know if GPS was fixed in this version....Normally, gps was not changed- it's the same with the original firmware 4.0.6 test4 ! ...should be work well !!! - for me it's work nice , I never had problems with gps sattelite !

I'll give it a go.....it would be nice if it worked but if it wont then i have other devices that will do the job...... it just would be nice to get most things/requirements into one device....

thanks anyway

Craig

Seems to be working well at the moment
Good job as always

Surdu, just want to make it clear on step about choosing frequency. On the initial boot, i will choose the default Frequency (which is 1Ghz for my g9) then after that, i will reboot it then choose the max frequency that i want to use. Am i correct? thanks!

Hi !

Yes , good !!! but attention ...allways when you choose overclock max. frequency , do not check " Apply On Boot" !!!

Thanks for the reply.. on last question, what is the reason why can't we apply on boot for the Overclocked max frequency?

Hi!

- choose the desired frequency , but not overclocked ! ( when will boot - will open with the selected frequency , so please choose max. frequency = your max. stock frequency )

- if your device has stock max. freq. = 1.2 GHZ , when you choose "applay on boot" the max. overclock freq. = 1.44GHz , than the device will boot with this frequency ( or the device may not boot )
Forcing a hazardous on boot is not recommended , can damage the device in a manner irreparable !!!
