hello fellow archos users,
as we know performance on the archos devices is not the greatest and there is always room for improvement. so im requesting that users with root try out chainfires new android 3d driver and get some benchmark results, i would try this myself but i do not have root.
for comparisons sake could you please use quadrant and get before and after results so we can compare the performance boost (if any)
for anyone willing here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Thankyou
I'll try this but i first want to hear what other say to this
Tried this 5 minutes ago and the app installs fine, but once you get to the part where you actually install the "driver" it shows an error that says "impossible to write /system directory"

Maybe you don't have a full R/W filesystem.
I would try it, if someone would say, that it works.
Installing the files manually made my tablet lock up and it will not restart. So don't try to install these drivers.
Luckely I have Urukdroid and made a backup on external SD first.

lol, i have urukdroid so I DO have full r/w, it just doesnt install automatically on our tablets, u need to do do it manually as said by cardefbel and that breaks your os as stated by him
Thankyou cardefbel for testing this, its sad to hear that it doesnt work
ill keep an eye on the thread and let everyone know when something more stable arises.
Installed V2.0 on my A70S
Same quadrant score, But I see a boost in the corridor 3D test (around 60fps in the steps). Unable to run Riptide3D (tegra) because the game tests at the begining if there is 2 or more cores.
will try more tegra games later.
I would love to see a HEX color chooser instead of rgb for the nightmode. Its really hard to know what you are setting when there is no box to type it in manually. Just the sliders.

You've done something wrong mate. Chainfire has installed correctly on Gen8s since version 1.8. I've had it installed for weeks.
BTW, Quadrant scores don't really change, but game performance is better if you use the Texture Resizing in Chainfire.

Wasn't that version 1.7? Have you tried 1.8-2.0?
I have tested chainfire 3D on a Archos 70S (rooted with Urukdroid 1.0) with Samourai II. It works like a charm.
the gameloft games seem more fluid.
Chainfire is really a good app !
I'm sure that I'm not the only person that found them self quickly running out of space on the internal memory of the SGS2 after downloading a few Gameloft games. It would be so much easier if Gameloft would let us choose where install the game data, but until then here is my solution.
Firstly, I did not make this match. The credit goes to Duero over at 4pda.ru, a Russian forum, that made the patch.
Secondly, this patch may or may not work on some Gameloft games. I have listed the ones that it has worked for me on my SGS2 at the end of this post.
Instructions
Step 1: Download this program: http://www.mediafire.com/?418qqqglxyt6lxy
Step 2: Run the above program.
Step 3: The program will ask you to locate the .apk file of the Gameloft game you want to patch.
Step 4: WAIT (seriously this can take anywhere from 30 secs to 5 minutes)
Step 5: The program will ask you to save your patched apk.
Step 6: If you already have that game installed on your phone, clear data and uninstall it. Don't overwrite it, otherwise it won't work.
Step 7: Install the patched APK file from your favourite explorer.
Step 8: Move the game data from /sdcard/gameloft/games/GAME to /sdcard/external_sd/GL/GAME. Notice there is NO /games/ in the new folder!!
Step 9: Run the game and let it verify the files.
Step 10: Play the game from your external SD Card

Other Info
- The program creates a directory on your C:\ApkTools_by_Duero_LG\ where it does it's temporary unpacking, search and replace and packing.
- Some of the APKs took a long time to patch. I've managed to played a few games of CoD: BO before it was done.
- You may or may not need the Java SDK to run the program.

How to test if it worked!!
- After you patch the APK, uninstall the game and then install the patched APK.
- Run the patched game and if it cannot find the files and asks to download a large amount, then that's a good sign.
- Copy over the GAME files from /gameloft/games/ to /external_sd/GL/
- Run the patched game again and if it doesn't ask for a download, then it worked.

Now, I know there is a thread like this in the LG forums somewhere, but I wanted to keep a list of confirmed working games for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (these may apply other Samsung devices though). I'll keep the first post updated with confirmed working patches.
Happy patching!!

Hi,
I have a question - I downloaded Brothers in arms 2 free from the market, where can I find the apk file? My device is of course rooted so if its in a folder in the root of my phone I can find it.
Thanks!

In data/app
*** Please read all steps carefully as i edited a little, to show steps more accurately ***
I take back my words from sony... ICS is awesome and not bad!!
I was on gingerbread 2.3.4 .62 version i reseted my phone using factory data reset, erased sd aswell. Then i Installed fresh .62 my country generic using flash tools. Then skiping setup guide and without signing in google or even activating wi-fi i straight away updated via Sony PC Companion to ICS by selecting mass storage mode .
As it got updated to ICS i powered phone on and completed the setup guide of it.. Then i switched phone off and took out the battery, sd card, and even sim card for few seconds like 20-30 seconds. Then inserted all back in, powered phone on and rooted it and its unbelievably good than the previous time i installed ICS.
Maybe Sony can't say to us that after installing new ICS and completing startup guide steps, then switch off and then take out battery,sim,sd card and insert it again and power on... So please do this once guys, it may surely show You the difference!
If you are already on ICS and facing problems, just do factory data reset and repair your phone via sus or PC Companion after backing up ur data, then after completion turn your phone on complete the setup guide, switch phone off and then take out the battery n stuff, and insert it back, power on and then see it should definately show u improvement!
* Please definately turn on your phone once after you install ics and complete setup guide or skip it and then switch off and take out battery,etc and insert it back then n on it *
I have installed many apps, games, etc and its still very smooth, dialer even opens very fast, 1-2 sec it takes time but as u click it forces itself to show it wants to open as fast as it can on ICS .
The more i installed apps it didn't slowed down!!
Picking up call was very smooth really, no lag/glitch atall .!!
Video plays smooth and perfectly fine .. love the task bar, browser is nice too!
* Note: I did removed junk apps from sys/apps (i did it before and that time i didn't felt any much difference as it lagged, but this time it massively improved by doing this)
Great hardware acceleration... install's apps fast, opens them quickly and smoothly.. love it now!! No wi-fi issues ..
I feel clarity/screen of phone looks gr8,better and smater on ICS
I noticed about the framerate per second (fps) that as i used Quadrant Standard test. Earlier on gingerbread it showed me in somewhere 3d/2d benchmark about 49-52 fps, edit: now on ics it shows maximum 49-50 fps in the test.
Camera is all fine is still smooth i havn't noticed any difference/slowness while recording ..
When moving from one home screen page to another, it rarely but does lags which would be nice if it gets fixed if a new update be provided... Same happens in the in-menu icon pages, and when pressed the menu button it lags rarely and then opens the menu mayb tries to show smoothness but lags instead. I am just on transition animation .5x and windows animation also on .5x (But really these cons can be managed and ignored as they rarely show little lag)
Games not playable, i don't know who to blame but many are not playable, and i know it will be fixed soon so no worries ...
Edit : Temple run got fixed itself with its new update! So its a game makers issue ...
So in the end i am now going to stick to ICS and not going back atall ..
Please press thanks if this method helped
Latest Arc S Quadrant Standard test Result on ICS 4.0.3 :
Video of Ics Performance on My Xperia Arc S : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmEb2gCrTVE&feature=youtu.be
**Please note i was seing my phone via cybershot's screen so wasn't able to click icons accurately sometimes, so its not any response/touch issue or anything with the phone**
I did slow page to page turn so to show i am not skipping or faking it as i believe turning pages fast would be wrong and ignoring its real performance and wouldn't be able to make out or show if its really lagging or not
Its all infront of you, So what do you say or think of it?!
Cheers!!

Hey people the games problem is not a Sony deal a friend of mine has a Galaxy Nexus with ICS vanilla 4.0.3 and he has the same gaming problems i think this is a ICS problem and i hope that they fix it with 4.0.4 i had problems with asphalt 6 dead space tintin and backstab all games licensed not cracked, also a have to say that modern combat 3 uno and NFS hot pursuit has no problem here they run very good on stock ICS on my arc s
why would it work now
just because y took the sd,sim and battery for a while
it does add up
for a matter of fact GB is so fine with me ive installed the home launcher of the xperia s and its pretty good i think it's better if Sony release a new official version of ICS before thinking of installing it again
Good News

i am using only stock which means official sony android 4.0.3 ics that sony is presently giving, yes i had unlocked my bootloader then i locked it aswell when i had gingerbread, did it for other reasons not for ics
And yes its not sony's fault as the games not being playable...
But awesome!! news... i today at 7.15 am indian standard time, got a new update of temple run after that its running awesomely/flawlessly now,,,, so its modified for ics!!!
So its about time people are starting to make their games playable on sony xperia arc s with ics

i never said games would definately work after taking out battery n stuff, did i?
i clearly mentioned my steps above only to make ics get calibrated well so it works fine as it still is working like a charm since i installed it n posted this thread ...
And weather you be on 4.0.4 or 4.0.3, games need to be updated for our xperia arc s that's the only thing which can make games playable which are not playable presently.
And its justified now that i being on 4.0.3 i just got temple run update and it now is playable like a charm, left right swipe, jump, slide all working perfectly fine !!
Cheers!!

it should but i don't really know as i dont have arc i have arc s . But if u are not getting yet an official update of ics from sony for ur arc, then u better wait as if u get a loose ftf of ics and u flash it via flash tools, it might giv u data error in end which would not erase ur data and might impact badly on performance....
so if u get official update and then do my stuff as posted on 1st post... it should definately show improvement and games as told few are now being playable on ics .... its the games official who are now making games playable on our xperia arc s
i strongly believe even if a game is playable on a different phone for like a fake example say on samsung nexus with 4.0.3 and not on arc s with 4.0.3... then the games are strongly modified for seperate phones to be playable individually.
which means if u see game develepors also sometimes link phones that this game is playable on these n these phones, so i believe its alot of hard work that they do n develop that one game be playable for all the phones they mention or for totally all android phones in the world like angry birds.. so they do different scripting for each different phone models and modify scripting for all phones they build that game for, all over again when a different firmware/update comes for that particular phone .
I install .42 to get root on my Arc S, then update from OTA to .62 and when i connect to PC the PCC pop up with ICS Generic.
Im from Portugal and my carrie doesn't provide any official ICS update.
The only problems i see so far (i only install yesterday) is the Go Locker that has the data text out of the screen and i see a lot of battery drain.
Do you think this will help this issues?
Thanks

This is a problem from the app not from the ICS
Anyway i made what you did, i wiped and reset all, repair the phone from PCC, then complete the sing in, restar phone, take SIM, SD and battery and wait, turn on the phone and root it and seams much more fluid and fast but i will give a feedback after try for few days.
The only problem is that i can´t charge the phone when is turned off. This happens with anyone else?
I turn off the phone, i connect the cable with charger to a wall socket and the SONY logo appear but then after a while the logo disappear and reappear again and keep doing this all time and never charge.
I have the phone ROOTED with CWM app recovery, USB Debbugin turn on this is normal!?

i never faced that charging problem when phone being switched off or anything yet, mayb due to cwm or i dont know... but the easiest way to root ics is with Root Exploit OneClick . i uploaded the file for you here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/kx8Ezp1G/Root_Exploit_OneClick.html
Just you have to be in debuggin mode and check the unknown sources ... attach the phone to pc, run the 'run me' batch file. Phone will restart few 2-3 times and all will be sucessfull with root
also i have not installed cwm on ics yet and don't want to as for now ..... and few or many apps are not compatible for ics as they are not updated for ics by the developers, so its not ics's fault .
if u don't mind and if u havn't transfered ur data back in, just do it all again hardly would take 10-15 mins..... reset and repair via Sony PC Companion(when i repair, it updates instantly as it detects already downloaded update files from somewhere in pc) and then take out battery stuff, insert all back then power it on and then root with oneclick, then check the same...
And also remove junk apps if you want, the junk apps i removed from ics are:
AntHalService.apk
antradioservice.apk
antstatenotifer.apk
AppEnabler.apk
chinesetextinput.apk
com.qoowaa.act.apk
datatrafficswitch.apk
JapaneseIME.apk
letsgolf_ay.apk
officesuite.apk
PicoTts.apk
POBoxSknPink.apk
POBoxSknWood.apk
Protips.apk
SemcEmail.apk
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
Stk.apk
Talk.apk
Talkback.apk
trackid.apk (removed the old one n installed the new one from market to sd)
widgetanalogclock.apk
widgetdigitalclock.apk
widgetworldclock.apk
and also deleted apps from system/etc/product/applications(it will have the mcafee n 2-3 more etc apps)
if you want to remove junk apps from system, just move them to sd (i use root explorer in rw mode) in a folder named like "ics junk apps" restart your phone so apps get removed properly, then update the remaining sys apps via wi-fi or however
if you want any of the sys apps back later in system, just correct the permissions rw,r,r then move them to system in rw mode .
only telling you all this.. so u get the best out of it!

well i have backed up my things on pc... so i just copy paste it. And my contacts, messages n logs i back them up using sms backup app, but nevermind .... well my suggestion is u can install cwm for your back-up, but try to root it my way .. mayb ur shutdown and then be able to charge phone problem gets solved as simple as that
i dont use cwm as back up because i think if it backs up everything which was there before then that is logically wrong, like files that automatically gets created by phone like android data, something like those they might get overwritten on new updated files of ics which might go wrong... like being on fresh updated ics then backin up/recovering ur data, and the ics created files in sd or system being overwritten by backed up gingerbread files/apps w.e using cwm or i dont know, even its my myth i strive for perfection that "To make it new, have everything new"....
if i have updated my phone so i would let only the fresh files be there that is created by phone and then installing back my apps..... i have my back-up apps in root uninstaller, so i just install them back(i copy/paste root uninstaller folder filled with my apps from pc to phone)
then copy/pasting the videos,music n images from pc to phone and i am done ..... i don't mind if it takes longer .
Problem solve!!! Was a fix that need to be done in CWM

I think the CM10 Jellybean rom 4.1.2. is stable enough for daily use. Packed with A1 Kernel 1.7.4b build pushes the tab's performance more, due to the GPU overclocking . The issue i found so far is that the MTP does not work, even when the MTP setting is clicked, updating the drivers, uninstalling the device from device manager, and installing again. When re-flahsed using the default CM10 4.1.2 Beta4, MTP is working fine again.
Anyone has any fix for this ?

Hi There, thank you for your time in replying. Appreciate that. I did check the control panel , printers sounds setting, but all i can see is the Samsung Android Device (modem) nothing else. There are no undefined hardware in my control panel.
I do transfer right now file to and from my 10.1 through Wifi Explorer Pro. A bit slow, but it works.
Probably, i will flash a CM10 kernel, or revert back to the CM10 Beta 4 and wait for A1 Kernel probably to notice this issue.

Issue with Play Store - Jelly Bean ROM
Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version, using TWRP's version. Now, I am back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles in the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left
Thanx
Gallery issue
I have an issue, the gallery cant detect pics that were moved using root explorer.
So this is what happened:
1. downloaded some images via browser (all downloaded images are in download folder in root)
2. grouped all of them in a folder via root explorer (all downloaded images are in download/foldername
3. opened the gallery, it cannot find that folder, and shows a album called "download" with the pictures except they are all blank(black icons).
Can anyone verify this and if anyone has a fix for this pls tell me thx.
I wanted to use multilive wallpaper so i need downloaded pics grouped for separate homescreens... not using gallery will cause slow downs...

now here comes my question:
I got stuck on unpacking zImage ,I used all the methods that learned from xda here ,but only repack_zImage works,but whatever version I used to unpack the zImage ,the result seems not right,the early version I used can extract some files in the zImage_unpacked folder but it prompted wrong message and quit ,the newest versiion (0.6) I used can also extract some files in that folder but the program keep displaying many increased numbers and never stop unless you pressed "ctrl+c" to quit it forcely ,so I think the files maybe not right either!!!
in the first place ,I think the tools I used to unpack is not compatible with my n710 zImage,so I searched at least 3 different to unpack my kernal,
unpack ,unpack-initramfs,repack_zImage, the former 2 tools even can not extract anything from zImage ,only extract a folder named initramfs_root,only repack_zImage did something but seems not right!!
so I tried such ways to unpack nexus7 zImage for proving ,but it surprised to me that it can not unpack nexus7 either!!
I am confused now,I have been searching solution to solve this problem for two days,but a little achievment I got!!!
the only way I can do now to ask such question at here,I am sure that some people can extract right files from zImage ,(because they even can do an custom kernal for nexus7,:good:I adore them so much,)so will someone tell me how to unpack right files from zImage???or did I miss any important things for unpacking ,I am a green hand on linux system.,so I might make many silly mistakes on operation
!!
thank you very much in advance!!any suggestion and hint also will be appericated!!
Just because it might look/seem like a n7, its not one. Its different so our kernels wont work
Kernels aew very specific so they need to be made for the device because they have different hardware
Sent with from my Asus Nexus Unicorn

Viewsonic N710
Hi There
I agree with you, i bought the same Tablet and the prior Incident is that you can not install the Google Playstore. Contacting the "Customer" Support is useless cause you always have a different employee who answers emails or is on the Chat Line. I asked them now for about 6 Times to give me a RMA Number and the Return Adress and it they do not want to understand.
The Tablet itself seems to have a good Hardware, Sygic runs very fast and stable, i also installed some Games and they are very solvent.
Dolphin HD didn't runs for the First Installation but now also runs stable and fast.
There is an Instruction on Tabletrepublic but it didn't work for me. I was able to install the ADB Driver and can also run it from the DOS Box. I was not able to Root the Tablet which is necessary to get Google Playstore to Run.
Does anybody else has rooted this Device and can explain how he did it...?
Thanks
Michael

To root N710 is not a big deal any more!you can flash cwm recovery to help you ,I released cwm for N710 at Tabletrepublic,so just download the right version recovery for your tablet ,please aware that 1.01-1.05,1.07,they don't use the same cwm recovery!
after fflash recovery ,run into cwm recovery ,and flash superuser.zip just like nexus 7 does!
of course you can also flash the gapps.zip to get google service serial and what not !
good luck to you if you tackle it!
