ROM work for Archos 80 Cobalt?

[bluesmanuk]

It's my pad only have phone camera not that good, whats the best place to upload a video.

Also so easy to open take out sd card you can see a small screw in the opening. Then i just used my Big thumb nail start at speakers move around it pops off. Just be careful near the sd area a little tight leave that bit last.

So presumably, if the internal storage is just an SD card, you could replace it with something with more capacity?

I was talking the external sd card the one we put in the slot.

This part of the board looks interesting, TX-RX, JTAG? Serial console?

Have you found the wifi chip on the board? Just wondering what it is to see if it might have Bluetooth builtin to the chip. If not then is there any space inside the casing that we could possibly solder on a bluetooth chip onto? The pinouts for the microusb could possibly be used to solder on a usb bluetooth (poundworld) dongle which has been cracked open.

I have a poundland bluetooth adaptor and it is NOT recognised through my USB OTG cable. The cable works as I'm typing this on a logitech ex110 connected via the OTG cable.

I've got the same adapter. What I was thinking was that maybe the drivers can be added to a custom rom.

Think it needs to be written into the kernel.

yeah same as linux/Rasperry Pi, Drivers need to be added to the kernel

Bootanimation audio

I've been playing with bootanimations and have found one that I like but when I copy bootaudio.mp3 to /system/media it does not play on start-up.

Is there an easy way to get boot sound to play?

Hello everyone
Hoping someone can help. Despite posting the original backup instructions on xda-developers I managed to lose my own backup.... unfortunate as due to a typo today I wiped the full flash of the tablet! Not the biggest problem because I can restore almost all the partitions using the backup zip posted over at XDA however it does not contain the section 0x0000 through 0x2000.
So i was hoping somebody with this tab on linux could run rkflashtool r 0x0000 0x2000 > parameter and upload the file for me so I can recover my tab? If you would like I can donate you some hosting space for ROMs or whatever

Also - find attached dmesg boot (from when it worked!!!) dmesg.txt
Can see WiFi chip is RK901 - no bluetooth. RK903 is the bluetooth model.
Also some more interesting stuff - two framebuffers. have successfully ripped today rgb32 - although second framebuffer was empty of data. possibly for an hdmi connection??
I am working on building a kernel and cyanogenmod - I got a completed build today but havent been able to test it as I just said, bricked the full thing like the dafty I am . Fingers crossed.
have enabled multi display on it to see what happens!

If it's any use I can pull that from my tab in the morning. It will have my parameter file rather than the stock.

Hi, that would be brilliant. If you just do 0x0000 to 0x4000 I will modify the mtd partitions manually and upload that to my device.
Thanks

Thanks so much for the work you are doing here and the ROM and evryone else doing other complicated "stuff"

I've managed to root and get this ROM on my tablet, works great and good to see more apps now available

I also had to edit that settings.ini file to get the tool to recognise my tab, don't know what the changes did exactly??? But they worked

Thanks again

Are there any plans for new features to be added in a later version of this ROM?
