Hi , greeting everyone !
Before appearing ICS, I made a small update custom, including small changes in the original firmware 3.2.79.
This release is permanently ROOT, busybox is installed proper and is unique , Su and Superuser is up to date ! At the bottom you have Update of this version (activated vibrator and fixed adb command).
Included : 24/01/12
- new boot animation;
- battery percentage, and other new Icon;
- several applications in addition ( office free, flashplayer 11,adobe air.....+++);
- windows animations;
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc sound and other stuff.....
Now we have latest update of Su binary v3.0.3.2 , Superuser v3.0.7(41), unique busybox v1.19.3 installed into system/xbin ;
There is no need to install busybox.apk or busybox installer.apk from market, busybox is already installed into /system/xbin/
Also included some tweaks : - increase sdcard speed, - managemant ram memory....and increase reaction speed !
These are the files you need for install this Custom Rom :
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/archive/tOxGcPqa/archos.html , http://hotfile.com/dl/143897684/d5edc5d/archos.7z.html
- zImage => http://www.4shared.com/file/KXp8bLDa/zImage.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/144036333/e7d0e75/zImage.html
- initramfs.cpio.gz => http://www.4shared.com/zip/HnEobpnG/initramfscpiogz.html
How install :
- because the file structure is changed , you need perform a clean installation : Recovery -> Format System -> Reformat Devices...-> I Understand -> ok -> copy firmware_archos_it4.aos into new driver -> ok. After reboot copy archos.ext4 into Internal Storage ( data/media/), reboot into recovery , Recovery System-> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Kernel ( for boot only to SDE) -> I Understand -> Ok -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs -> copy zImage and initramfs into new driver -> Ok ! that's all ....now you have clean install custom rom
Solved - md5sum into superuser when you try to update the su binary , now check md5sum OK!
I did not managed any version of .squashfs because android compiler can't install busybox into system/xbin ( .squashf is NOT RW ), this is why I presented only version of ext4 ...Good Luck !
****************************************************************
Update : 27/01/12
- now >adb shell - fixed and enabel vibrator
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/zip/dOscQIvA/archos_up.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/143982123/b452656/archos_up.zip.html

Quick question, and I appologize if this is the wrong place for this, I'm currently running your 3.2.78 (ext4). Do I need to update the stock firmware directly from archos first or can I just flash this 3.2.79 rom over what I currently have. Also I "removed android kernel" earlier to always boot rooted if that matters. So what's the best way of going about this?

You can try this:
-get a copy of busybox and symlinks from a working rom (make a .tar or .tar.gz of G9's [email protected])
-copy busybox+symlinks in appropriate directories and chmod them (just to be sure)
-mksquashfs
This *should* work (I've messed around a bit with squashfs on another device)
First custom rom i've seen. Great ! Thank you very much. I will try it later
First thank you surdu_petru Every new rooted/modified rom, I need to start tablet with "original" rom to copy the ext rom into the tablet, and every time, restarting for the first time after the update from sde with the "new" rom, I have SuperUser with empty list (and I have to re-add all the programs in my list). Is there a way to copy the ext rom without booting with original rom? thank you and sorry for my poor english

Not yet, accessing /data/media requires a working system (adb is not present in SDE/recovery)
However you should be able to update using "previous" custom firmware- system filename is different
install directly over the version rooted 3.2.79.
Work good. =)
Boot animation - maybe simply text android install? =) Can i change it himself?

In my builds, I added a mechanism to do that, the idea was to add a ".update" to filename to have the initrd replace the old image with the ".update" image before mounting and booting.
Surdu_petru, I don't know if you did the same in your initrd. As gen_scheisskopf mentioned in the sde thread, wiping dalvik-cache is probably a good idea if build changes, it could be done silently there or asked with a menu ? And a common file naming convention between us would help, I saw that you use the archos.img, we could define this as a standard ?

Ok I know what you mean...and yes ! for Stock firmware_3.2.79 (files.ext4/squqsh).update exist into initramfs, but because I made some changes in directory structure into Custom Rom , now .update it's not perform .
Ok it's very good idea , for future I'll rename (archos.ext4/squashfs).update
Thanks for your advice !

will there be a custom rom for the archos 80 g9 250hdd or a root method
it would be nice to have a custom rom on my hard drive tablet

Initial Release V0.1:
This ROM is english only and has several tweaks inbuilt. Try it out yourself and you will be amazed of the overall speed. Maybe I will support more languages later (have to talk to Infinimint about this -> maybe he has enough CPU power and time + nerves to compile it in each language). Till then if you are searching for another language then move elsewhere to find your ROM...

sure. you say all credits go to the devs in the very last paragraph.

this is wrong, fat32 needs to be first partition, otherwise windows won't recognize it anymore.
i don't know which gapps you put into this package, but it's certainly not the one neopeek tells you in cwm-thread. the meta-inf isn't replaced.

ooooppssii daily i seemed to have made a new thread for something which is already thereE!
to bad wifi isnt working
It is, just get the right kernel, ygge or latest glemsom (19.08.)
but glemsom ain't so good for me:
- wifi working***
- system a bit snappier (or just wishful thinking?)
- permanent hiss from loudspeaker
- battery always full
- had to change cpu-freq to 652, phone kept freezing with 672
- sys-process-gapps fc's now and then
*** i didn't reinstall the rom, just changed kernel & wiped dalvik cache. So i don't know if something extra is left from ygge-kernel.
edit:
took longer, but it froze again. 633 mhz now.

Hi there!
It works fantastically, but I don't know if this build is supposed to have fixed this issue, I'm still having the hardware keyboard death problem. So I tried to implement ygge's keyboard-as-modules kernel, and when deleting the current modules, I have an error saying that they can't be removed because this is a Read-only file system. (like this: "cannot remove 'nameofthemodule.ko': Read-only file system")
It is not the first time I try to use this kernel, and the previous times, I could delete them without any trouble (through terminal emulator). I have tried with terminal emulator as a root, with other file explorers as a root and seems to be difficult to erase them. Is there any other solution? Oh, and I have already tried reinstalling again, but I guess I can't reinstall with ygge's kernel with keyboard as modules since I won't be able to press volume down to enter Recovery mode, am I right? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!
I already posted this issue twice in neopeek's forum, without any luck

Hi , greeting everyone !
If ICS has not yet occurred then it's time for a new Custom Rom ...

- zImage and initramfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/gd_SWiL7/drive.html ( are into drive archive ....drive.zip)

Great Thanks @gen_scheisskopf ...
With respect,

Hi !
Everyone is free to choose what version of software like.... , that is why I tried to diversify the range of Archos firmware ....everyone is free to choose currently between four versions of software released ( Original Stock Rom firmware3.2.8, Root Rom firmware3.2.80 , Custom Rom firm. 3.2.80 and Plasma Active,Thanks @LeTama ).
Of course expected and welcomed other versions of Custom Rom including various stuff !!!
On the other side, I have answered the same question about ram in the previous version ( Honeycomb Custom Rom 3.2.79 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462726 )
Have a nice day and Good Luck !
hi, sorry for my noob questions. I have used gen_scheisskopf's initramfs. After the first "long" boot, with pleasure, I saw that the "wipe-dalvik.update" file was deleted automatically now is necessary reflash your initramfs surdu_petru? are there problem leaving gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and rebooting without "wipe-dalvik.update" file? thank you
p.s. new icons for me are always better on every new version

Ok ! no need to use another initramfs !
And less beware :
- if you plan to do a clean installation ( go to Format System, Reformat Device...OK! and reinstall archos_firmware_it4.aos , than copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage data/media/archos.ext4.update, reboot and into recovery copy the two files that are in drive.zip zImage , initramfs - into new drive ) - for this you don't need gen_scheisskopf's initramfs ;
- if you plan to do just update over the original firmware or rooted firmware you need just copy archos.ext4.update on Internal Storage (data/media/archos.ext4.update) and into recovery choose gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage ;
I think you're better now...
Thanks for all your work! Just so I know, which file can I get rid off after flashing? I had your .79 custom rom before. Can I delete the archos.ext4.update file ?
By the way is the wipe Dalvik-cache from Supercharger OK?

If you are still in Custom Rom 3.2.79 you need to push archos.ext4.update into data/media and in recovery copy gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage into new drive ! whith this you'll not lose your work , and Yes after flash you can delete archos.ext4.update from data/media/...Good Luck!

There is no need to worry about .update files, they are removed automatically.
I'll check Supercharger dalvik-cache wipe later.
BTW there is no need to flash suduru_petru init if you did flash modified one, functionality is the same, modified init works stable on my G9.

Flash sites not working
Hi
with this version of root I am unable to get Flash 11 to work (previous root is O.K.). Sites prompt for Flash to be installed although the software is installed. I can't uninstall as it seems to be part of the kernal. Installing Flash 10.3 allows Flash sites to work until a reboot disables it again. Any ideas.

Flash is not a part of kernel or system, it is a separate application.
Wipe dalvik-cache and try again- here is info.
If this doesn't help- reinstall flash

Hi
thanks for your quick reply
I'am unable to delete Flashplayer, if I tap on the .apk I am prompted to re-install Flashplayer this resolves the issue until I reboot. Is this a permissions problem, how can I check.

I recently installed this custom rom, into my Archos 80G9, and I have a question:
is there anyway to disble/enable the power supplied to de usb connector, in where the 3g Usb Dongle is connected, I use this port to supply power to a small fan, in order to cool down the tablet, and i would like to have control over it, before i rooted, I could controlled it by, just toggling the 3g switch on/off.
thank you in advance, for any help you could give me,

Because no changes are made in this direction in the original software, I think you can control as before toggling 3G switch ON/OFF !

A clean installation is the best and safest method of installing an operating system....to performe clean instal go to Format System->Reformate Device...-> I understand OK!, after that you need install original .aos file, and than flash archos.ext4.update. ( and yes ..will be completely formatted !)
And if you have important data and you can not delete, than you can install over previous versions, but you need initframs with removal Dalvik-Cache mechanism ( see initramfs posted [email protected]_scheisskopf).

Hi !
I am pleased to present the latest Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.4 , now with Root, Busybox and Deodexed all files into /system/app/* & /system/framework/* !
In this rom original files have been modified, to be Deodexed and added : Su, Superuser, Busybox & ICS Blue bootanimation !
These are the files you need to install root version :
- archos.ext4.update in archive archos.ext4.update_4.0.4.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/149767565/ddfdbd1/archos.ext4.update_4.0.4.zip.html
- zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in archive drive_4.0.4.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/149766018/3229b8e/drive_4.0.4.zip.html
http://www.4shared.com/zip/2PK6zYOt/drive_404.html
Installation :
- copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage ( /data/media ; /mnt/storage )
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- ok ! and wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android update system for a while .....be patient !
The first boot take longer ....and also for the first boot you will not see bootanimation !.
This Root version works on all tablets gen9, is stable and can be used as a daily ROM !
( For not to expect too much between the two download ....now you have the option to download drive_4.0.4.zip )
If you have problems installing this root version , then you can thank him ( @Shano56 ) and please visit => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542058
A deodexed rom allows for developers to theme the rom and tweak certain apps as they wish !
regards,

Ac3 plugin is available HERE (you have to buy it). But yes, firmware supports it.
Hi Thank you for your firmware,
I'm kinda new to this..
and i think I've accidentally made a mistake with this update
in sde menu i followed what needs to be done
flashed then copied the 2 other files to the internal HDD of the archos
and after the reboot i never saw the update screen
it went black and keeps rebooting ,sounds like it stock in a loop
(i have the 250GB hdd model so i can hear the spin loopy sound )
i have ruined my device,haven't i ?
thanks for any help

HI!
OK!
Maybe I'll try a test version " Custom Rom Beta" - but I still have much work !
Hi There
Unfortunately the Update also didn't work for me.....
I already get the Android 4.04 Update from Archos, and i also downloaded the AOS File in case that i need it. After that i used the SDE to copy File 1 and 2 on to the Archos 80. Then i executed the Files. After Rebooting the Second Time my System is really Slow it is impossible to use it correct. Anyway i copied the the Update File (archos.ext4.update) onto the System Root. Then i boot into SDE Menu and choose Developer and copy the remaining two Files (zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo)to the Ramdisk, My Archos updates them. At next reboot i didn't see the Logo of Archos and nothing happens for Hours. i can boot into SDE Menu and i am also able to reformat the Device with the AOS File ( With the original Rom System is really Fast ). So do i made any Mistakes..?

Hi !
I am pleased to present the latest Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.5 (4.0.3) , now with Su, Superuser & Busybox installed !
In this rom original files have not been modified. Were added only Su & Superuser for Root access and Busybox for other stuff !
These are the files you need to install root version :
- archos.ext4.update in archive ICS_405.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/150045208/fe18703/ICS_405.zip.html

Installation :
- copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage ( /data/media ; /mnt/storage )
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- ok ! and wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android update system for a while .....be patient !
This Root version works on all tablets gen9, is stable and can be used as a daily ROM !
( For not to expect too much between the two download ....now you have the option to download drive_405.zip )
If you have problems installing this root version , then you can thank him ( @Shano56 ) and please visit => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542058

cumps
thanks surdu! you are so fast!! btw, will the OC kernel of letama works on this?
thanks surdu! very speedy
Thanks! I can't to get my RMA's tablet back from Archos.
puh, very fast !!!!!!!
thank's
(no problems until now. works fine)
Tell me I'm wrong.
In the midst of trying to install this firmware, I did something stupid, and may have bricked my tablet.
I did a "full reinitialization" (not through SDE) within the stock firmware after installing the custom ROM, rebooted without letting it finished, and thinking nothing was wrong, I removed the Android kernel. Now it won't go past the Archos logo, and I can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Is there any way to fix it, or am I boned?

Hi!
You can try so : press power for 10 sec. until the green led light goes out ....now : connect your device with USB cable into desktop/laptop and while you press volume down , press also power and wait for expected to enter into recovery (SDE) ....here you can do Format System->Reformat Device -> I understand -> ok! and copy original ICS 4.0.5 .aos file in the new driver that will appear! Good luck!
THANK YOU. Oh man, you are a lifesaver. Hopefully this can be of use to someone else if they decide to pull a genius move like I did.

There are two download links in the OP. Maybe you can try the other one. Crocko should be fine.
Thanks to the wonderful information and knowledge of select user here I have been working on creating a dynamic multi-boot menu for my Archos 101 G9 Turbo 8gb Flash and thought I would contribute something back. I would still consider this to be in alpha/beta stage but basic functionality is working.
I am currently using Archos's built in menu system as I like the looks a little better than fbmenu and being a dynamic list it would be hard to specify a default image with a timeout so I currently do not need that functionality. (I may switch over to fbmenu at a later time)
The menu will look in the root of the internal storage /mnt/storage/ and /data/local/ for any files with a ext3, ext4 or squashfs extension and create a list of the images it finds. The menu currently only finds images with these extensions and the extension tells the menu what file system that image is using.
Special thanks to arctablet for creating an install tutorial.
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archos-tablet/archos-g9-multiboot-sde-required/
Working:
Dynamic menu creation based on images in a specified folder (currently /mnt/storage/ and /data/local/)
Loading selected image as long as the kernel is compatible
Manual clearing of dalvik cache
To Do:
Clear dalvik-cache when switching images (may need to create config file to track last image)
Flashing of new initramfs and zImage from storage. (Currently looks in /mnt/storage/toflash/ but kernel is not updating)
Add option to flash correct kernel before loading an image (for switching between Android and Linux distros)
Built in system to determine an image's file system type without using extensions.
Bugs:
None that I am aware of
Updates:
V0.3a
Added zip with 4.0.6 kernel
V0.3
Fixed 10 image limit
Tracking last booted image with * in menu (saved to /data/local/bmimage)
V0.2
Added stock firmware to list
Added /data/local/ to image search directory
Added option to clear dalvik cache
(fixed) Menu finds files with extension in the middle of the name such as archos.ext4.backup
Changed menu color to android green
I am currently using the stock kernel with a modified initramfs.cpio.lzo which can be download from here
dmenu-0.3a.zip (4.0.6)(4shared)
dmenu-0.3.zip (4.0.5)(4shared)
Screenshots
Extra Info For those not failure with how the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo work
The zImage file is the actual kernel code that gets loaded during the boot process and the initramfs.cpio.lzo is a basic file system and init script that gets executed during start up. This specifies what image file should get loaded such as the stock Android image or another custom one. To make the multi boot menu I only modified the init script in the initramfs and and I left the zImage untouched. Since the initramfs is able to select multiple images you can actually flash it with most kernel files and it should work however you are still limited to booting what that kernel file is capable of running.
The zImage files included in the zips above are the stock kernels so they will only boot Android images. In the Ubuntu thread they are using a custom zImage file that is capable of booting both Android and Ubuntu by basically just using my initramfs with their custom zImage.
It is good
i will be testing on the 8"
10 entries : it is good may be
For the buzz
http://www.jbmm.fr/?p=27540
Problem :
I have [email protected] installed
when is reboot on recovery mode /developper
I have the multi-boot with 2 entries
-Archos.ext4.backup
-Archos.ext4.update
and nothing works

i think sirduke989 renamed the archos.ext4 from the [email protected] to [email protected]4
so it easier to distinguish them
je crois que sirduke989 a renome le archos.ext4.update en [email protected] pour pas les confondres
et :
archos.ext4.update = le nouveau firmware qui va etre flashe
archos.ext4.backup = une installation "clean" (sans apps personel), il te le faut si tu fait un "Reset Android"
Ok
I testing that
Great it 's works with [email protected]4
thanks djnilse
What about wiping dalvik-cache? Switching to a different android firmware requires it (or you'll get botloop/app FC's/other bad things)
Thank you for the feedback, I updated the bugs and to do section.

I did, I also moved it to a different location. If surdu_petru does not mind I can work in the location he uses and some of his update routines.

Good point, I did not think of that. Until I get on the fly flashing of new firmware working I will put in a manual option to clear it.

This won't affect manual way of wiping dalvik-cache (dalvik-wipe.update file on /mnt/storage). Adjusting update routines is also not a big deal however /data/local was chosen not by accident- android doesn't make any changes there so there is no risk of deleting system image (android does clean uninstalled/not present app data/files by itself since 2.3)
updated to 0.2
Ok
please if it is possible zip the 2 files on 1 file with the good name of files

Booting Ubuntu 12.04...
Is it possible to boot latest Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 image on Archos G9 tablet...?
http : / / cdimage.ubuntu.com / daily-preinstalled / current
The image has a ext4 Partition inside...
Well I tried 12.04 with the kernel from the ubuntu thread and the screen flickers when you get to the login screen. Currently with this boot menu it only if each image uses the same kernel but I am trying to add the ability to flash a new kernel when swiching images. This will make it a little easier to get a full linux distro working.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Just as a quick update I have fixed the 10 image limit so now the limit would be what fits on the screen and I am working on getting flashing of a new kernel working. I expect to have 0.3 posted this evening (us).
Updated to 0.3, still having issues with flashing a new image but I fixed the 10 image limit.
is it possible to use this with the CWM of Letama ?
Not without some modification. My boot menu is still using the loop back devices. Letama is welcome to modify my bootmenu to be compatable with his if he would like, the only changes I made in the initramfs so far are in /init and /etc/mountpoints
The toflash menu is a little bit buggy. I'm formatting the system partition successfully...

Yep, it currently does not work. I suspect that the issue is because it is trying to flash over the kernel that is running.
Lately I have been trying to compile the wifi drivers for Ubuntu 11.10 and once that is working I will have a good reason to want to switch kernels on the fly.

You can't use 3.2.80 firmware- kernel required for multiboot is not compatible with it. I don't know how about Ubuntu.
