This is a project built for Black cLK (minimum version 1.5.1.5).
It is created based on 2 factors, securecrt & Xylograph 's NativeSD idea and cLK's multiboot feature. This could be useful for cLK users that have added more than 1 extra boot partitions.
The target was to be able to reboot directly to any extra boot partition, without interacting with the device.
This is done by exploiting the "oem-" prefix in reboot_reason. The app reboots with PowerManager class (In order to do so it is signed and it must be placed under /system/app.):
Code:
mPowerManager.reboot("oem-" + SelectedBootPartition);
and the bootloader simply gets the SelectedBootPartition from the reboot_reason in order to try and load the kernel from that boot partition.
Along the way I added an option to flash any NativeSD Rom's kernel to any existing extra boot partition, so I can easily change a Rom if needed.
In 3rd version I added an option for OTA Updater for cLK itself.
This is open for everyone to use or contribute. Source is available at https://github.com/n0d3/Xboot
Test apk from here. Don't install it! Push it to /system/app and chmod 0644.
ToDo:
Learn and Use AsyncTask to make the app solid.
Any logical and relevant-to-this-project suggestions you might have.
I have in nand tytung nexus hd2 v2.8 and in nativesd-sboot partition cm9ight.The app work as it should in both roms.Thank you very much
so just upgrade to the latest version CLK and put in system / app this app? in which ROMS i need to put the app, in nand ROM, sboot ROM or togheter? need to do some particular setting in CLK?

Hi g,
If you look at clio94's post above you'll see that it works in both cases without any settings in clk. It's up to you in which Rom you'll integrate it.
Regards!

Not really. I made it having this example in mind:
I'm using cLK and I want to have 1 NAND + 3 NativeSD Roms at all time.
Step 1: From cLK menu I add 'sboot', 'tboot' and 'vboot'.
Step 2: I enter recovery and restore my favorite CM7 NAND Rom and flash three NativeSD Roms.
Step 3: I boot up my NAND Rom in which I have installed Xboot and use it to flash each NativeSD Rom's kernel to 'sboot', 'tboot' and 'vboot'.
Step 4: Flashing ends here! I push Xboot to all of my installed Roms and whenever I want to switch between Roms I won't be flashing my extra boot partition over and over again. Instead I just select the corresponding button.
Is that how NativeSdmultiboot works? Does it use all of cLK's extra boot partitions?
In my understing, it only uses 'sboot' to which it flashes the kernel of the Rom I select. In simple words each time I switch Rom with NativeSdmultiboot I get my nand flashed. Please correct me here if I'm wrong.

You are great development!!!!!!
Sorry for may noob questions!!!!: Dita-incrociate:

EDIT2 works perfectly!!!
Hi kokotas, I installed the Apk on rom that i have in HD2 a NAND gate, and two in nativesd.. the apk in question , if I understand it must, be installed on all three of the rom.. AND when i open and select the boot to make a rom the Apk crashes.. and closes.. Can you tell why? Are there any special settings?.. For case to be made to operate the rom (nativesd)must be flashate from this apk?

You must have the last version of CLK. Put the app in system/app, with root explorer set the permission and the reboot the phone. The kokota's app will work very well

Ok thanks my friend ... works very well..excellent work kokotas :good:
Hey guys,
I kept thinking of a way to make something like OTA Updater for cLK itself:
Hitting just one button in order to check if newer cLK is out, and automatically update it.
In order to see if the idea is possible, I created a new git repo where the latest lk.img will be hosted along a txt file from which the application will read the version.
And yes!It did work
If the version read from git repo is higher than the version of installed cLK, the lk.img will be downloaded to the root of your sdcard and immediately flashed to your device.
In conclusion, the new Xboot has the option to "Update cLK" on the fly.
Regards!
Hi

Which version of cLK did you have before?
What happened after selecting "Update cLK"? Did you see any errors?
Is it possible to enter cLK manually?
Well you can always re-flash cLK with any of the usual ways if it got corrupted.
Regards!
Ciao kokotas,i installed the new apk xboot(system/app) ,i have the clk 1.5.1.5 and wanted to try to update with the new function,in the menu of xboot, but at the time that I select the update clk ,xboot closes. Where is the error?

Was any file downloaded to your sdcard?
"lk.img" (384 KB) should be written to the root folder. If not, there was the problem.
Maybe I should add a size check for the downloaded file...

I had a doubt ... to install the new version of xboot,i put the old permissions, and then i have uninstalled and then I installed the new version ... and correct?or just overwrite?

Hello, Kokotas, thank you for your superb initiative!
However would you ponder to advance even one step further? Why not to make it possible to boot another NativeSD ROM directly from other curently running Android ROM, in the same fashion as it used to be done from WM6.5 (via haret.exe & clrcad.exe)?
It should be feasible to implement even easier than for WM6.5 - maybe some sort of chroot, how do you think?

Hey ictimai,
Thank you for the suggestion, but :
I don't think I can implement it, yet. I am not familiar with chroot and basically I'm not sure I have gained the knowledge to make your idea happen.
I cannot justify the existence of a function like that, so personally there is no motive.
I mean
MAGLDR's "Boot AD SD", the "multi-boot" feature of cLK and the nativeSDMultiBoot app, all together already offer an elegant and easy way to switch between Roms.
But being here to learn, I can tell you that I will do some research about chroot and how it could be implemented.
Regards!

Some options in Settings (Personalize, Text to Speech, Connect tp PC) cause FC because of Rosie and Tts-services removed.

Looks good : D
But I'll wait, as I haven't been doing any flashing with my phone yet, and I kind of like it as it is.
If possible without too much hassle, why not remove the messaging-app and install handcent(or something) instead?
And btw, why are you using the 2.03 ROM now when the 2.05 is out?
Looks good
no-one has released a 2.05 to use as base is pretty much the answer, i will use 2.05 as a base for my rom when someone releases it

It's very possible, I just like the stock HTC messaging app I have never tried hanscent, maybe I should check what it's all about..
I liked it too, until they made it unusable(doesn't scroll all the way down when opening a thread..) in 2.05..

When base 2.05 comes, and if that bug still persists - I will definetly change the app to something else. But I'm trying to keep the memory usage minimal, I will have a look at handcent and compare it to the standard Eclair app. But as long as the base is 2.03 I'm guessing I'll keep it stock..
Still trying to deodex the ROM. damnit.. boot loop persists :<
Hi...
Thanks for your release and efforts..
Now I am using RODRIGUEZ STYLE v 2.3 and it works good...
But today I faced with a problem that the nexus start page repeated after restarting the phone and the phone did not log in, I tried many ways but that was not fixed, so I decide to choose another ROm, I am not sure which rom should I use, but yours looks good.
I have some questions, then I am going to start installing it..
MY PHONE DATA:
Baseband: 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26.L
Build number: 1.31.405.4
-----------------------------------
Can I use your rom without any problems???
My phone was rooted with r4 modaco.
But Can I Unroot it after installing your rom and get the FROYO UPDATE that HTC is gong to release..???
I dont want to brick my phone because of wrong Radio version,and I dont know how can I find that, which rom is suitable for my phone and which one is not.,would you please tell me that, is this rom suitbale for my phone and i am not going to brick it?..
And, Does this Rom contain Persian or Arabic characters support for reading SMS and Web Browsing..???
Is the bluetooth works smoothly with this rom..??
Thanks for your answer...

Did you remember to sign the apk's after the deodexing? That can be what is causing the bootloop... always sign all apk's when making a change..

Yes, since your phone is rooted you can install this, and it will remain rooted. You can unroot the same way as with r4, eg. just install the RUU and it's done.
Persian/arabic did not work, neither menues or keyboard. I can look into that, see if I can find the solution for it.

And, I know that KYOSA add persian characters support to his ROM, maybe it can help you to do this for your next release...

You can unroot with any stock RUU, 1.31 if you want, or 2.03 if you prefer that. The RUU updater wont care which version of a rooted ROM you have.
I'll see what I can find about the languages. Found a way for G1 that should work for Legend roms too, but I'll se if I can find anything else.
Okay, found this one update that should give arabic support to any ROM. I don't have a chance to test myself (I cant read arabic so I wouldn't know if it's right?). I did not make this file, I don't know who did, but I'm not taking any creds for it.
Download
Install the rom, then (without wiping), update with this. Please let us know if it works as it should.
Ok, this looks very nice. Ill try iy out.
oh btw, does this rom have app2SD ?

No A2SD on this ROM (I dont have my class10 sd anymore, running on a class2 so cant use a2sd). I can make one with a2sd, but I can not test it myself..

arh kom så, viking! 200 dkr for 8gb class4!! hehe
This needs app2SD hehe
anyhow,
First boot was really fast, and noticed that after scrap'in all HTC on this ROM you forgot to replace the Screen-Lock !
Im personally fond of this vanilla one; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709183
needs a deodexed rom tho ;-(
i left the lockscreen on purpose, and the htc music player (they are connected). i should change both, just havent really checked in to it yet. Still lots and lots of htc-files in the system/app, needs cleaning, but I'm working on it.
About the deodex, Im running into problems there.. Deodex (+ sign apk's) = reboot loop. Can't seem to figure it out!
I liked that lockscreen btw. I'll probably change to it, remove htc world clock (replace with eclair clock) and change the music player.

Short: Don't sign the apks, it's not necessary, even dangerous. And it breaks your precious ROMs.
Long explanation:
If you compile the sources yourself, the scripts will at a certain point create your private and public platform keys, store them in /etc and also sign all apks with it. So this wouldn't be a problem if you could compile Sense.
If you blindly re-sign every package you run into a problem: You use a key that differs from the one in the key-storage (the one HTC uses to build and sign). And there's nothing you can do about that.
Eventually you will face the biggest troubles with four packages.
Vending:
Resign it and no paid apps will available at all (which is obviously caused by replacing Google's signature with yours).
GoogleCheckin, GoogleSubscribedFeedsProvider and NetworkLocation (and some non proprietary ones I don't remember):
Now these are even trickier as they require access to features that the platform strictly locks away from apps.
No app, downloaded or pre-installed is granted these rights except for when it was signed with the platform key. This was done to protect the users.
Resign these and you will see "Package xyz has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!" in your log-files.
That being said there are lot's of reasons why odexing could fail. I've had a few unsuccessful attempts of using dexopt-wrapper on my device without any obvious reasons - I know for sure that bootclasspath and everything else was correct.
But, there's a nice little trick to make it work: Don't do it (yourself)!
Instead you can grab the files from /cache/dalvik-cache, they are exactly the same.
Update 05/10/2011: So, at this point I've just fallen too far behind the curve, and it doesn't look like I will be updating GladiAtrix any further. I'll still support v4.2.3 for 1.57 (which is pretty stable, and almost all the issues I've seen users have up to this point are the installation). I may at some point throw something together for myself to use and release it (as I don't care for the themes/mods of GingerBlur/GreyBlur), but at this point I'm doing all the mods manually and have no current plans to make a flashable zip out of it.

04/14/2011 @ 10:00am: Download links are fixed. Sorry all! As I stated in my last post, I will be unavailable for the next few hours. I DO see your questions and I WILL answer them. Please be patient, this isn't my full-time job and I have other things that need my attention today. Thanks!
04/13/2011 @ 11:17pm - NOTICE on theme: The THEMED version does not have reboot/recovery. I've been too busy working out the other kinks to add it in. The NOTHEME version is just like v3 and older, with the reboot/recovery options intact, as well as all the other changes up to this point. That is the only difference between the two.
All the bugs with the fingerprint scanner, wifi defaulting to on, custom keyboards not working, etc. etc. should all be resolved. Please PM me or reply to the thread if you have any issues.
Version 4.2.3 is going to be considered base from here on forward. It will create a backup of all the files it changes and copy them to the root of the internal SD card. PLEASE copy this backup to some place safe. Going forward, all updates will be released on top of 4.2.3, and will create sequential backups of any new files changed, if there's a need to back them up. It does not have any feature updates since 4.2.1, just many bug fixes.
04/13/2011 @ 11:00am(ish) - NOTICE on Reboot/Recovery power menu options: These are currently removed. I added a theme, and I haven't had time to add reboot/recovery options to it yet. If someone who knows what they're doing would like to add them and send me the updated files, it would certainly expidite the process as I'm not even sure how I got them working in the first place on v1-3. Screenshots will be in the second post as soon as I get a moment to upload some.History and SummaryCWM finally released! Sorry for taking so long with it, I'm very picky about my work and wanted to test EVERYTHING and make sure it was all working as it was supposed to. I hope the extra effort pays off and nobody has any issues with this
I've removed the script version as there's no need for it anymore. CWM is safer and does everything we need it to do with the latest version.

When I go to run this it asked too allow superuser, but superuser never asked to allow anything on the phone? Phone just sits there?

Yes. There are 3 (I think?) points at which you have to allow superuser.

there are a handful of boot animations here if anyone is interested. if there's something in particular you want, i'd be happy to give it a go. i too suck at the whole graphics thing, so i wouldn't expect too much.
Please pardon my ignorance, but a few questions:
1) I'm basically on stock 1.26 right now (rooted). Would I have to first flash/ota update to 1.57 (while retaining root and whatnot) and only then be able to install this?
2) or is 1.57 packaged within this and I just have to flash a clean 1.26, retain root, etc. and then flash this, thus updating me to 1.57 via this ROM?
I know they're somewhat silly questions, it's just that a LOT of what I've been looking for in a ROM lately is (almost literally) a one click to 1.57+root.
Thanks for bearing with me...and any kind of ETA on an RC? I see you were up until 5 putting this together, so thanks for your hard work.
This is after you have done retain root and updated and the afterupdate retain root.

You need a 1.57 rooted to proceed with this as it says in the OP. if you are at 1.26 rooted then use the retainroot in xda to get rooted on 1.57 and then use this.
Will this work on the Atrix on Bell?

This rom does not update you to 1.57. You will need to be on 1.57 with root before this will work.

Any chance of some screen shots of this theme? If we had CWM I would just flash and check it out.Thanks.

4 days ago I finally got this I heard a long time Atrix 4G, spent three days free time get the Recovery. And then spent one day free time a person considered to be more integration of the perfect ROM, hope you like it. The machine got my brother to feel that defy ah ~! Ha. Good. Machine performance very good, no loss is dual-core!
Haha, A4 custom Recovery Coming! No way in the use of other forums online updates, online updates will be a lot of messy problems occur. May not fully updated!
Installation:
Root for your cell phone first, root method see: http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html
Apk installed then install the normal recovery;
Prompted the request su permission.
Then prompted to install success
Then ok. For details, please refer to the software tips.
Usage:
Switched off the phone into the AC charger, and then the phone will enter Recovery mode!
Keys Description:
Volume up and down switch, the power button to confirm
That said if this recovery even crashes you should be able to get to rsd mode and revert back to which ever base sbf you were using XD

Thanks for you posting and attached the apk file. the original source is post by me for china users. this recovery include two languages. English and Chinese,because i am a Chinese. you can find a flashable rom in here.
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html
it's also for chinese users. the recovery supports amend and edify scripts.because it's based on clockworkmod 2.5.1.8! only the usb is not working.i didnt find out how to make the usb function work .
other function including backup is work. there is one think that the system partition is mounted when you enter the recovery. you can not umount it.
i will try my best to fix those bugs. if any one would like to help me.please let me know. thanks in advance

From what I understand this isn't a full recovery, but will it allow us to flash roms?
Thanks for all the work.

Yes. But only roms based on original shipped versions. Custom roms like CM are not possible with bootstrap recovery.
Do backup/restore functions work?
Just a confirmation. The installation was very easy. I had to plug in ac adapter to boot into CWM recovery. I made a successful backup through recovery. If anyone is not familiar with CWM recovery, you use vol up/down buttons to go through menus and power button to select. The backup is created in external sdcard. This looks good so far.

Haven't tried restore but backup went fine.

Agree. Even if this is not a full on recovery, we can at least do away with those scripts now.
I saw the specs for kitkat and it looks like it can be run on Nexus One without possibily the use of blackrose?
I still have my nexus one sitting in the box in my closet when I retired it for Nexus 4. I'd *love* to use the nexus one again running kitkat w/o having to flash blackrose!
Texasisnice? anybody can chime in??:good:
CHEERS!!!
I am using ROM [4.2.2] [April 07 2013] VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2, i think very good to using kitkat, can anyone creat room cook 4.4 on nexus one. It will very nice and good experience. Can anyone creat kitkat on nexus one? Plz

Sent from my Nexus One
I've a Nexus One and I'd installed the Evervolv 4.4 KitKat (ev_passion_4.0.0p4.2-perdo-squished) from the Evervolv page (i.e. http://evervolv.com/devices/passion). I'm annoying, this is the smoothest version that I tested in my Nexus One.
I'm running this version with a2sd xdata option in a 16 GB (class 6) SD card, and using a 330 MB system partition. I've installed the most of the GApps (standard, emoji, calendar and browser sync) and the Email add-on offered by TexasIce (in the main thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540366). I've installed the patch to solve the Wi-Fi tethering that is in one post of the main thread, and it works!
Then, only one thing is not functional: camcorder. But it's solved with VideocamIllusion (worse quality, but works).
Evervolv 4.4.2 is really very smooth.
I am using the latest nightly (2013-12-14) with 250 MB system and mounts2sd in class 10 sd card.
Internal partition is being used for dalvik cache and system apps.
The only problem for me is the lack of tun.ko.
Kernel is not built to support tunnel interface thus cannot use openvpn.
the only thing i am missing is a working video recording, its all delayed :/
Stock Nexus One > Update to KitKat
Hi All,
A little behind the times but over the holidays i unfortunately smashed my Moto G to pieces and need to make it through to payday at the end of January. So, looking through my drawers i found my old (never tampered with in any way) Nexus One. Problem is after having KitKat on the Moto i just cannot stand using the old version of android thats on it.
I've been digging around in all of the old forums for rooting/unlocking bootloader/CWM etc... to update. I keep unfortunately hitting dead links as a lot of it probably hasnt been used for a number of years.
1 - I seem to have found 'SuperOneClick' to root and unlock bootloader (unsure if there is a better way)
2 - I can install CWM recovery via ROM Manager i believe?
3 - After this i tried to install ev_passion-4.0.0p4.2-pedro-squished but keep getting installation aborted.
Having looked a bit more i think its because i need to change partition sizes add a2sd etc... but the instructions get a bit muddled here as there have been so many different guides over the years.
Can someone confirm to me if steps 1 and 2 are correct and give me 'a dummies guide' to the changes i need to make and how to do them? any help of pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Use the Videcam Illusion app.
I also recommend UCBrowser for bug free web browsing on kitkat.
And j00m's kitkat cuz it's slimmed down enough to fit on a 200MB system partition. And slimmer is faster.

I just went through this a few days ago. I rooted/unlocked long ago so I don't remember anything about that, but after that this is what you need to do for Evervolv Kitkat (there are some variations but this is what I did):
1. You need to re-partition your internal space with Blackrose to increase your /system partition. For "core gapps" you need a 250 MB /system partition. I wanted the full Kitkat experience so I made my /system partition 325 MB so I could install the 4.4.2 "standard gapps" from BaNkS. I did this on a Windows computer. Watch the "Execute BREditor(standalone)" video (in the Blackrose OP). From the command prompt type "blackrose editor" to specify your system partition size and create the file. Then you run "fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0" to repartition the N1.
2. The first time I tried to do this, I used an old CWM recovery, and it flashed Kitkat fine, but when I tried to use Mounts2SD it wouldn't work. I don't know what was wrong, but I decided to update my recovery to make sure, so I installed 4EXT recovery, wiped everything, re-created my 2 GB SD-EXT partition on my microSD card, and then I got everything to work.
3. So from 4EXT I flashed the Evervolv 1/2 nightly and standard gapps. Then I installed Mounts2SD and pressed the button to install the script. At first I checked all the boxes except Dalvik cache because someone said it runs faster if you keep it internal, but it took up all of the space in my /data partition and I was unable to install even moderately sized apps of just a few MBs. So I also checked Dalvik cache and now my /data partition is freed up and I can now install larger apps. It appears to need space in the /data partition for installation, before Mounts2SD moves it over to SD-EXT.
4. So now memory-wise, my N1 is great, but opening/closing apps seem a little sluggish. I'm using an old 4 GB probably Class 2/4 microSD card. I just ordered a 16 GB Class 10 card to try; hopefully that will eliminate the sluggishness.
My N1 feels relevant again.
I am reminded how much I liked the trackball notifications!
Kit Kat Rom
I have with blackrose hboot partition 260/10/166 with vj 4.2.2 Rom.
Can I install parkeddraccoon Kitkat Rom with the same hboot partition?
Or whether I have to repartition as mentioned by parkeddracoon using Blackrose?
i've installes parkedraccoons kitkat 11/1 version. But the soft buttons doesn't work besides the home button.
Have anyone else this problem or some troubleshooting?

The 220 MB requirement is a minimum requirement. Then, you can install this ROM with your current partition table. But if you use the data partition instead of an external one, I recommend to repartition with the most approximate space in system partition (i.e. if your installation has 220 MB, you can gain 30 MB extra for your data partition).

In the main thread of this ROM there isn't any post relative to this problem. Then, I think that is an isolate problem. I recommend to reinstall the ROM and try again. Be sure you have a little extra space in system partition after install the ROM (try the "df" command in a device terminal, using the terminal app or adb shell). One of my first problems was relative to that: not all files were saved in the system partition and the ROM had strange problems (eg. the initial configuration wasn't opened at the first start).

CyanogenMod 10.1 working on the Archos 80 Cobalt!
This is oma7144's ROM, I've been able to get it running under a bit of guidace from oma and I thought I'd share it here if anyone else is interested.
The original thread is here - but this ROM is designed for Odys Genio tablet, which has basically the same specs as the 80 Cobalt. (RockChip 3066 chip)
As always, only flash if you know what you are doing, I am not responsible for anything you do or break.

Instructions
Before you do anything, download the file below and extract everything to your desktop, find 'Oma RK30 CM10.1 Format NAND.zip' and copy to your externalSD card
then unmount and remove the externalSD, this is very important because if you try to boot after flashing the rom, you will not have access to the internal SD - which means you can't flash files from CWM or do anything basically
Boot to bootloader
Turn off the tablet
Unplug from charger and USB
Hold the 'volume down' button and then hold the 'power button' to turn the device on and boot into bootloader, keep holding both until you see the boot screen
Connect USB and you will get "Unknown Device" message in windows
Install device drivers included in the zip below under x64 or x86 depending on your system - see gavroche's root thread if you are having trouble
Open up RKandroidTool.exe as administrator (located in RKDevelopTool_v1.35 folder)
- if you have trouble try different USB ports on your computer
You should see at the bottom of the RKAndroidTool "Found RK Android Loader Rock USB"
Click 'erase IDB' button - this will only take a few seconds
Now click 'Run' button, this will take a few minutes to install the ROM
Insert your external SD card
The device will boot into CWM, now choose install zip from sdcard (not internal), install Oma RK30 CM10.1 Format NAND.zip that you copied to your external SD earlier
Reboot, and enjoy CM10.1

...everything apart from mentioned below
Known Problems -
Scren flicker when rotating screen,
When battery is low the tablet wont wake up from sleep and the power button will only reboot it instead of waking it up
- Thanks to danielolsman
- To "fix" this you could install "no sleep" from the play store.

If anyone is interested in helping get rid of these three problems please don't be shy.
I'm not a dev and I'm looking at fixing the bugs but don't really know where to start...

kage00,
Thanks for your effort!!! You're breathing new life into our tablets. We (I am sure there's a very big community alongwith me) who have been waiting for this.
I don't have my cobalt with me right now but will try and install at some point and feedback how it goes.
Are you also willing to work actively on issues and improvements. I am happy to help wherever I can. Perhaps, others will join in as well.
Thanks
Looking at the forum feedback from HUKD, the rom is not far from being a stable rom for day to day use. I see following general issues raised with this rom so far
1. Waking up issues after deep sleep in case when the battery is low
2. Rotation issues
3. Default language
4. Nexus port and therefore certain apps incompatibility
As mentioned earlier, I am happy to help wherever I can.
Thanks
Hey nikunj87,
Thanks for your support! I would love to be able to work on the issues with this rom but to be honest, I'm not a dev, not even close, and I wouldn't even know where to begin to start fixing the problems.
For the moment I'm looking at putting together a kernel from Archos' source and adding overclocking, I've never built a kernel before so it's a learning curve... don't hold your breath, haha!
I just thought I'd post this rom here to see if we could get some interest in the project and maybe get a dev's (or two's) attention to take a look at the problems, but for the moment it's just you and me who are interested in this..
I think the best we can do is wait for an update to this rom from Oma (the original dev), as you mentioned all the problems with this rom on the cobalt are problems that exist with the same rom on other devices. So maybe with a new update it will work a bit better.
Unless if we can get someone else who knows what they are doing to take a look at it...

willing to lend a hand tho I am only new to this stuff as well!
I tried this ROM, it seems that OMA posted an AKKU Fix here
I will trie it soon....
There are some problems with the camera; its inverted. The provides fix did not solve the problem, does someone know how to fix it ?
Akku fix does not work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Cool! looks like we've got some attention from the devs!
So there is a new version of this ROM over at this thread
edit ----> please take note, if anyone tests this ROM you will need to keep the same kernel from the existing package in OP and use that to flash with new ROM, Otherwise you risk having a bricked device
Aparently the battery problem exists, but netlars has a possible fix on this thread if anyone can test it that would be great. My tablet is off getting fixed, I had some problems with the touchscreen.
Also Oma was asking if anyone could test this too
Are these paths there?
/sys/devices/platform/rk30-battery/startget
/sys/class/rk30_battery/rk30_battery_start_timer_work

If anyone can test and reply here please, then I can tell him on the other thread.
Thanks
Battery problem is solved (see original thread)
CM10.1 is now ready for daily use.
(@Kage00: maybe its possible for you to make a new zip package with the new boot image found here?)
EDIT:
made a zip package myself : CrewRKTablets_RK30_Cobalt 80 by Oma_CM10.1_v1.3.4.zip
Thanks danielo83,
Nice one, I'll update the OP,
I got news back from Archos repair about my tablet / touchscreen problem. They decided to replace the whole unit, so I'm going to sell the brand new one and get a Nexus 7, which means I won't be able to play around with this ROM anymore becuase I won't have the tablet. I'm happy to still keep the thread open and you guys can tell me if there's anything to update in the OP
Thanks

In the new version do you still have the screen flicker artifacts on rotate?

Not sure if anyone will see this but I own an unrooted/untouched Archos 80 Cobalt which I haven't used for months. Decided to dig it out for my son to play with but I can hardly fit any apps on it so looking in to alternative roms.
Came across this rom which I want to flash but I'm unsure on how to start. Do I have to root and flash CWM on to the tablet before doing anything in this thread or are the instructions in this thread all that I need to do in order to flash this rom on to an unaltered tablet?
Yes you will need to be rooted first before using this ROM, please follow this thread to get root and CWM on your tablet then you can flash this ROM with the instructions in the OP
Yeah the storage space is limited for some stupid reason on the stock ROMs, that shouldn't be a problem on this ROM, also if you find you dont like this ROM there is also another custom ROM here based on stock 4.0.4 firmware with better app storage space
the new version still has the rotate "problem".
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I just wanted to say as well, that Archos have released kernel sources (downloadable from their website) that are from May or June 2013 from memory. The last stock ROM built for this device was released in February 2013. Which means if anyone wants to try their hand at compiling the kernel from Archos source, it would be a newer kernel than what you are using now and it could possibly fix any left over problems with this ROM. I don't have any spare time to do it anymore, but if anyone was interested I'm sure you could find a walkthrough on XDA to tell you how to do it easily enough.
The kernel for this ROM at the moment is still the stock kernel from the stock 4.0.4 ROM, which is working, but maybe if a newer kernel was made from the sources it may work a lot better
app space and vold.fstab
Does anyone know if this ROM exists with 6gb of app space? I currently have the supersport ROM with 6gb app space and edited the vold.fstab to swap the internal and external sd cards. I’d like to do the same with this JB ROM.
How difficult would it be to edit the ROM to change the app space?
Does this ROM use the vold.fstab to set where the internal and external sd cards are mounted? (I think this has been changed in JB 4.3 but I’m not sure about 4.2.2)
Cheers, T
To be honest I'm not sure if it is possible, but you could ask the devs who made the ROM they would probably be able to tell you if it was possible or not. Have a look over at http://www.arctablet.com
You'd need to ask oma7144 or netlars
You could try to post in this thread and see what they say

I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit
I'm doing this with USB debugging enabled and the device switched on as this is the only way I can get the 'ARCHOS' device to show in Device Manager under 'Other Devices.
If I put the tablet in to download mode (power + vol down) I get a dead Android symbol with red exclamation, is this normal? However when I insert USB cable in to the device at this point my computer doesn't bring up the 'ARCHOS' device in Device Manager...
All I get then is this:
I don't actually have this tablet anymore, but I remember mine being a bit strange when I first tried to root it too. It can be a bit temperamental... I remember reading someone saying somewhere about leaving the charger plugged in when trying to reboot into download or recovery mode, if that doesn't work try with the USB cable (or both) plugged in while you try.
I also remember with mine I had to direct windows to the specific driver folder extracted from the zip based on which drivers you need, eg, x86 or x64 etc.
You could also look at this thread http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3244-Archos-80-Cobalt-900-supersport-rom where the might be more info on root.
I'm using windows 7 though, so I don't know exactly what differences there are with win 8.
If all else fails just keep searching and reading all/any forums you can find about rooting the thing, I'm sure you'll find that someone has had the same or similar problem
good luck

Hi do you have any idea how to get XBMC working with this rom? XBMC just goes back to home screen whenever i try launching it?
For xbmc you will need an older version of it. The one from August seemed to be the one to use for most people with the same issues on the HP slate 7 so am guessing it will sort your issue too. A quick search on Google should locate the archives for you
