Yeah, there were no tabs. "Downloaded", "Running", "All" and "On SD Card" tabs weren't there. It was like my 5it with 1.6 Donut, just "Manage Apps" showing a list of apps and that was it. And only like 5 or 6 apps showing. I think now it may have been because I forgot to do a reset (pinhole in back) after flashing the rom. Birdie's instruction said to always do a reset after flashing, otherwise sometimes runs unstable or things don't show up that are supposed to be there. That was probably it. No needs for it now though. His 2.2 Froyo is working flawlessly.

Okay, then never change a running system, but after the flashing it is in most cases no reset necessary - only a reboot is often useful for market etc. When you need a reset, then flashing was not complete sucessful.

hi, first thank you for your work.
i saw some languages are missing in the rom (are'nt visible in the browser and in the applications)
for instance the Hebrew language.
is there a way to add it back.

thanks

EDIT: i could copy new fonts but system is read only and that why i'm not able to do it.

As the rom is a read-only rom, you can't add new stuff to it.
Language support (translations) is not part of the fonts structure. The fonts are necessary to display the language.
The language support itself is in the "zoneinfo" part which is located in /usr/share.
However, you can't use the latest ICS zoneinfo onto froyo or gingerbread as the strings to be translated differ. You need to get the latest gingerbread translations and put these in the gingerbread rom. (I managed to get these for froyo from a russian user who needed oekrain (or something like that, I can't remember exactly) but who didn't know how to implement it in a rom. That's why my last froyo rom supports more languages.)

I don't have these files for gingerbread. Next to that: As I don't have a (working) home tablet anymore, I won't build new roms.

I have installed this firmware on my 7 HT v2 and the video playing performance is terrible.

It stutters on every file I have tried so far!

I have followed the tweaks in the first post but so far it has not been a good experience, are there any other tips to improve matters.

Also, what video player would you recommend for this platform?

Thanks

1. Try flashing again the rom.
2. I would recommend the mobo player for video.

i had this gingerbread, its good but i want it back to froyo, but the problem is it cannot detect the updated.img, i pasted the updated.img to the root of archos but it doesn't work or detect. what should i do? pls reply asap.

you need to use the gscript for flashing from either card or internal memory. See post 1 for details!

i've just did that, but GScript cannot detect the .sh file.

Add it via the gscript gui, pointing to the sh file on the file system.
Copy the complete gscript folder inside the zip file with it contents to the sdcard. If you don't have an sdcard copy the folder to your internal memory (/mnt/nand).

you need to download the firmware again to get the gscript directory if you did not copy it before.

Post 1 covers all this, re-read and follow step by step and it will work.

I have done it twice now.

okay. i downloaded it again, hope it will work. ill try it again, by the way thanks for now.

No worries!

Hey hvdwolf

Many thanks for your work on this.
I installed your gingerbread-rom and it works very cool and very smooth - except the calibration.
I'm not able to calibrate my screen correctly.
I used the installed calibration-tool several times, but it has no effect. The calibration simply doesn't make any changes.

Has anyone an idea, what is going wrong there?

Many thanks

Is there any port of the 7htv2_gingerbread.06 for the 7C?

That's how it started with my tablet and it got worse and worse until my screen didn't work for about 30% which makes it completely unusable.
Luckily I had my settings backuped with titanium so I could restore my calibration the first 6 months after problems started showing up.

Hey "hvdwolf" !
Many thanks for your work on this. I installed your gingerbread with calibration
and it works very cool.But I can not chenge the "R/W" to "R/O".Help!

i just bought this device, and i tried to download this gingerbread software. but when i click the link in the op it says the file isnt online anymore. so could anyone give me a link where i can download it or maybe reupload it for me?

thanks in advance.

As the mediafire links were outdated and and as it seems that they are removed every 6 months, I uploaded the rom to my public dropbox location.
I only had the 7htv2_gingerbread.06_calibrate.zip version left.
See the very first post for an update.

Anyone tried this custom ROM on ARCHOS 70 internet tablet? Should i use this one? Thx for advice.

No, don't use it. The 70 IT has it's own custom roms.
