[DEV] CM10 on ArchosG9

---

If someone like to want try out basic running JellyBeans on his archos g9 device you can use my build.
Many things like camera, or accelerated video decoding/encoding doesn't work, also the sdcard access is not working (using vold binary from stock rom was not successful)!
(= Not for endusers, but for devs who are interested )

Working is:
* Wifi
* Audio
* GPS
* Graphics ( )

Many thanks to JackpotClavin for your porting guide on CM9
(which was very helpful to start understanding how customized building works),
trevd for setup a CM10 repo which I used to start from and for developing 3G support on 4.0.4 and 4.1.1,
omegaRED7 for his support on 3G,
and last but not least: surdu_petru for his excellent work on modding and developing cool images for the archos device!!!

If you want to start hacking on this, use the following interesting repos as start:
Trevd's developer repo for the 3G stick:

My CM10 config files:

A note for the kernel:
Customized kernel is needed, because it provides the IPV6 mangle support, which is needed by netd service.

For me, the video acceleration is the most important thing, but due closed drivers and only a little understanding of the topic, I feel that I'm not able to solve this problem.

Hi !

Very cool ! You started a great job....I hope that with our dear developers you will be able to successfully finish !
THANKS ! & Good luck !!!

Hi.

I was about to start looking into the sdcard issue..... Then my sdcard slot decided to fail, I think the spring has gone, I'll "Jaff" it in with some Rilza Card later on. I'll take heart that at least my device is failing one component at a time and not all at once..

With regards hardware, have you had a look around at the open source stuff at OmapMedia.org, I'm just cloning their android repo now and also linaro have done a lot of work in open sourcing and optimizing some of the TI Omap stuff..... They're next on my repo sync

I also think Scholberts' hardware thread may help as a good reference.

There's other stuff, lots of other stuff but I think having a go at the hardware seems lib a good starter for ten.

Hack On!

With some luck, we can use the following:
http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/...cs-mr1-release

Maybe we must patch the archos kernel for that....

Awesome work! Instead of everyone working on his own rom (we have AOKP, CM9, Ubuntu, ...) everyone should team up and make a good Jelly Bean rom.
Just out of curiosity, how is this rom's performance?

Cool thing! Can you post some photos pls?!
Thanks!!

I've been trying to get this to boot today, I'm using the multiboot initramfs and your zImage, but I'm stuck at a black screen. Should I be using the latest stock one?

Stock 4.0.7 initramfs is stuck at ARCHOS splash screen, not looping (as in there being no ext4 file) but just stuck

have you the initramfs.cpio.lzo ?

Don't worry, it works now. A combination of bad files and silly mistakes were the issue
