Welcome to Gen8 CYANOBIZ Support thread!​

ATTENTION: This build is stil in early Beta stage! Bizcuite is not responsible of bricked tabs, world war or some kind of alien invasion!

What is this thread for?
This thread is made to help people run CYANOBIZ Unofficial CM9 on their tabs, report bugs related to this ROM and share tips and tweaks.

Before adding your problem(s):
Make sure you are running the latest release of CYANOBIZ !
Make sure your problems is not already listen in the OP (aka this post) !

Bug/Problem list:
Bluetooth can work only by command in Terminal Emulator. Not fixed yet.
Camera. Preview only (can not take pictures for now). Not fixed yet.
Battery stats (% works but no notification of charge). Not fixed yet.
Each problem reported by user will be posted here after its accepted. Remember to use the latest build before reporting.​

How to install CM9 step by step:
You have to install SDE before you attempt to install CM9. Follow the guide in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197

From now on you have to download the files only from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941377
Step 1: Download and decompress (unzip) CM9 image file. Rename it to "openaos-cm.img".
always remember to download the file made for your device. Each device has different specification like screen size, RAM, etc.
Step 2: Download zImage.zip (its usually named with the date of the build like "zimage041013.zip") and rename it to "zImage". Do NOT decompress it!
Step 3: Download "initramfs.cpio.gz".
Step 4: Download "data.img.tar.gz", decompress it and choose the size that fits to your needs. (This file will be used to install apps. If you usually install low amount of apps you can use 256MB. Recommended size: 512 MB.. After you decompress it, rename it to "data_ICS.img" and copy it to the root of your internal storage.
Step 5: Copy the decompressed CM9 system file (openaos-cm.img) to the root of your internal storage.
Step 6: Create a new text file. Insert this line: ICS||/openaos-cm.img|/init|0Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init and save it. Rename the text file to "menu.lst" and copy it to the internal storage. (If it doesnt work open "menu.lst" with Notepad++ and add one additional line below by pressing enter)
Step 7: Installing the kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz:
Reboot your tab into recovery. Select Recovery System => Developer Edition Menu => Flash Kernel and Initramfs. Connect your tab to your PC via USB and copy the files from steps 2 and 3. (Its recommended to copy the files one by one)

You are done! :good:

Currently the kernel is not supported by other ROMs (except stock firmware with stock kernel).

How to add swap file
Use adb or Terminal Emulator and add these lines:
If you are going to copy the lines copy it line by line do not copy-paste the whole guide else it wont work!

swapoff -a
rm /swapfile
rm /system/etc/fstab
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=50000
mkswap /swapfile
touch /system/etc/fstab
echo "/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" >> /system/etc/fstab
swapoff /dev/block/ramzswap0
swapon -a /swapfile

This activates a swap file of 50MB in the root of your system image file (CYANOBIZ_xxx.img also knows as openaos-cm.img
Do NOT increase the size over 50MB because the system will become full and it will result in a bootloop!

How to activate swap in internal SD card (storage). This way you can put highter value like 128MB/256MB/512MB/etc.
Use adb or Terminal Emulator and add these lines:
If you are going to copy the lines copy it line by line do not copy-paste the whole guide else it wont work!

swapoff -a
rm /mnt/storage/swapfile
rm /system/etc/fstab
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/storage/swapfile bs=1024 count=128000
mkswap /mnt/storage/swapfile
touch /system/etc/fstab
echo "/mnt/storage/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" >> /system/etc/fstab
swapoff /dev/block/ramzswap0
swapon -a /mnt/storage/swapfile

If you want to see if it's working type "cat /proc/swaps"
You should see this:

cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/mnt/storage/swapfile file 127972 0 -1

You swapfile is done!


Notice: Sometimes a logcat worths more then a hundred words.
If you like the ROM and you'd like to support it feel free to donate to Bizcuite. This way you can tell him a huge "Thank You" and support his job.

Many thanks for your works Mavasilisk. It's perfect!! Just don't forget the "e" in Bizcuite :angel: :D

Upload of first BETA release is in progres ;)
Don't forget, if you install my kernel, you will NOT be able to use others OS (except original Firmware with original kernel of course)

Maybe we must add "This release is not official and not supported by cyanogen".

How is sleep with CM9? I used to find with CM7 Bull my tab used to use more power than stock Froyo when sleeping. Also how well does Chrome work with 256mb ram? Thanks.

I prefer Boat Browser. Its very fast and snappy with the new HW. I can compare it to Opera. Chome is just....not my taste.

Yes Boat browser works best but is laggy on bigger pages and force closes when I try to start flash content - flash player is still not working. Other browsers force close on bigger pages and chrome is slow. Opera final still dont work, beta is working but freezes on first couple starts. Even stock browser freezes on first couple starts and crashed system once and then started to work pretty normal. Most interesting thing is with Puffin browsers, they worked well under 1.8 and now Puffin free cant even start and Puffin paid freezes or force close when I try to start some web address or edit speed dial. I edited vm heapsize but it didnt help. I am still suspicious on GPU driver. Rom is fast and many apps and games works but we still have some major problems. Keep up with good work Biz and I hope that we will get stable rom soon.

Biz, check for dalvik cache and cache errors. I had some problems with apps when I forgot to wipe caches.

I dont have problem with cache but you were right we still have problems with wifi driver, that is our major problem for now. I hope that Biz will find good driver and recompile it soon.

I try both. Today i have try to compile the driver module from cm9 sources and with archos gen8 stock kernel.
Compilation success but the driver doesn't want to be insert. I have warning during compilation and this failed the insertion.

Can you say me which security you use to connect you to your wifi?
I think that there is an issue with wpa1/2 security.
Because when i am at work i have no pb, it's a free hotspot wifi without any security just a login.

Hi Biz,
congrats to your excellent your CM9 Build. It's pretty fast. However I have a A70S like Mavasilisk and also have the same problems. I can make the tablet crash and reboot with Angry Birds Space with WIFI enabled. However if I disable Wifi and reboot so that the systems boots with WIFI off I can play the game. After another reboot with WIFI enabled the game crashes again.
I have a completely fresh system with nes data_ICS and I'm on WPA WLAN encryption.

TO ALL WHO USES BETA 2.0 (only 2.0 a 2.1 will be upload this evening), PLEASE CHANGE THOSE VALUES:

in /init.rc:
Code: 
write /proc/cpu/alignment 1
The original value is 4
And in /system/build.prop:
search "vm.heapsize" and set the value to 192m

Crashes/Kernel Panic must be a REAL old story.

This post was a wrong way

Jut edit init.rc and change the value of this line: write /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops 0
Set the value to 0.

The will be really stable!!!

    It lakes 60mb of ram because compcache is deactivated.

    I have crash of chrome with 512mb and no crash with chrome and google maps (the webpage), i have added a swapfile of 175mb into my image to test for the next release.

    TLS register is activated too with my new rom. I have found a hack to activated it in the kernel :) it's a great news.
    The next kernel and rom will be not compatible with others versions of my previous release (tls register crash all others systems without this option activated during the compilation.

    New release tomorrow!
