1.8.55 beta release

Post by bragon »

https://transfer.archos.com/cgi-ssl/dow ... T0Q-archos

Compared to last 1.8.43 beta release
- Fullscreen: preserve button panel if present when toggling fullscreen
- Thinkfree: put thinkfree outside readonly area of the firmware so that it can be deinstalled by user
- System integrity: activation of low memory killer in kernel to self heal under high memory pressure

Note that copilot issue is not fixed in this beta release.

Damn. But it is fixable, right?

System crashes with ScummVM and Orbs.KnockOff when the notification bar appairs with a total loose off control. Nothing reacts.
Need to reset to reboot the system.
They work well with 1.7.99 firmware but crash with all releases with fullscreen notification.

yes i second that, the first thing i done was remove it yippee....
scummvm is crashing, not sure if its the firmware or app, i didnt check it on the last beta.
but as a whole it seems much more responsive than the previous beta, and hasnt locked up after a couple of hours surfing.
cheers mate

Thinkfree uninstalled and 12 more MB free in my apps partition! Now I can finally download some of the 3D games to test them out!

a bug is always fixable but this one depends on thirdparty 3D code non trivial to fix

ok for orbs.knockoff this is the same black screen issue (no crash game is there running but you do not see it) as for copilot.

the one in appslib market is the one im using with the extras as well, if you want the apk i will send them but you should be able to get them straight of the market with no problems.

While I was answering a KB question elsewhere, I noticed that Better Keyboard had stopped working. Not sure if it worked under the other two Betas as I've been using a physical KB a lot recently.

I'm on the latest version of Better Keyboard, btw.

Also, streaming audio over SMB via the AMC is quitting again when the AMC is not in the foreground.

this is the case for Archos5 IMT, Archos5 IT 1.7.xx and 1.8.xx firmwares thus not a regression.

Sure, just mentioning it as you acknowledged it was a bug two betas back, just in case you hadn't noticed it still wasn't fixed yet... :D

Long time for installation is linked in the process of installing thinkfree (20 additional seconds or so).
I saw sometimes a crash of tf at upgrade but it is not systematic: will investigate.
