< _BuBU> dm8tbr: time for new anouncement? 
< _BuBU> openaos-gingerbread-20110628_122823.img.gz
< _BuBU> ATTENTION !! new zImage/initramfs.cpio.gz are required (else accelerometer will not work the right way on A101
< _BuBU> so:
< _BuBU> – accelerometer should work
< _BuBU> – both sdcard and storage should be mounted
< _BuBU> – bigger home/menu/back buttons..
< _BuBU> – update from upstream cyanogenmod (so regression or improvements expected)
< _BuBU> for the accelerometer you may have to active 180 degrees into cyanogenmod display settings

Gingerbread CM now for Archos – Proof of concept
Friday, June 24th, 2011Bubu sat down and made Cyanogenmod Gingerbread Android 2.3 working in his spare time. This is a proof of concept so don’t expect too much.
Currently working:
- SGX/EGL 3D acceleration
- WiFi
- Touchscreen
- adb
- Android Market
Not working:
- Audio
- Bluetooth
- Accelerometer
- accelerated Video decoding
- Suspend
- TS calibration on A28/A32/A43
Known problems:
- general instability / random crashes
- Touchscreen has problems on the A101
- hard to use on resistive TS models due to missing calibration
We’re looking for help to take this further. As this can’t be done by one person alone.
If you want to try it. It currently works on gen8 with latest openAOS boot menu:

You need to gunzip and copy it into the root directory of your device, then add it to your menu.lst.
Sources are here:
https://gitorious.org/openaos-cyanogenmod
(Currently this is only vendor/archos/gen8 and device/archos/gen8, so you need to first “clone” the master branch of CyanogenMod)
Join us on IRC if you want to have a chat about it. This also has potential for the A5IT/A48IT but it needs volunteers that will help to make that happen.
Boot-menu for gen8 – preview
Friday, June 10th, 2011BuBu was hard at work for the last few weeks and now we have something working to show.
We’ve added gen8 support to our boot-menu. It looks and feels almost the same like on gen6 and gen7.
UPDATE: HowTo here: http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen8
Sources are here:
http://gitorious.org/archos-buildroots/gen8-kernel
http://gitorious.org/archos-buildroots/gen8
Those are our patched versions of the Archos official git.
And here are binaries:
http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/
Currently known issues:
- No TS support on A70S, A70H, A101 inside the boot-menu
- TS support in boot-menu removed also from other models due to problems
- currently some problems with cdc-acm debugging, work in progress
- Vol+/- is reversed on A101
