Archos Gen8 Froyo Source Code released!!

---

For Archos 101/70 etc
here is the link now lets get to work

Custom ROMs like HTC Sense builds and Motoblur and Cyanogenmod should be more straightforward now.

Sent from my Ideos S7 using XDA App

Root access and custom recovery are steps 1 and 2. Then that can happen. Hopefully Root isn't far away.

Fingers crossed because the froyo release archos delivered was a BIG disappointment for many..

Waiting for root and recovery.

Then, we can flash custom rom and kernel to the Archos tablet.

Really disappointed on the speed. At the beginning, I think 1G cpu should be really fast .... but now @ froyo, the speed is really slower than my Nexus one (very very much slower...)

Especially when doing multiple web-page browsing and heavy network loading, my Archos 70 lag lag lag all the time....

Hope Archos will release a fix that optimize the power of the machine very soon.

Archos downclocked it to 800Mhz with 2.2 release.

While you are correct, I think the reason is not only limited to 800Mhz.

I set my Nexus One to 806Mhz and still find out the response and speed are much higher than my Archos 70 running at full speed (setcpu to 1000Mhz)

There must be something wrong in the firmware and the wifi driver that is not optimized such that the machine looks generally much much slower than any other android systems running at the same frequency.

Yes, 2.2.1 on Archos 70 s***s

+1

My Milestone downclocked to 250 mhz is faster than my Archos 70 at 800 or 1000 mhz....

Root access will complete the froyo update

Yeah but your nexus one also has double the memory, and it seems that the JIT doesnt work the same on the Archos 2.2 build , quadrant and linpack scores are pretty much the same from 2.1 to 2.2, where as on every phone 2.2 double or sometimes triple the linpack scores.
