| Edit 2011/10/25: We are removing the download link for this custom firmware as it seems to be causing problems for many users. We’ll investigate the issue and hopefully will provide a fixed firmware soon. Thank you for your comprehension. |
With the help of BirdieBNL, we are proud to bring you, an updated custom firmware for the Arnova 10 tablet. This update brings a more stable Android 2.2 Froyo along with Android Market and root access to the Arnova 10 tablet. This is a work in progress, please check the changelog for modification informations and report any problem in the comments section of this article.
Please use the Android Market fix procedure if you are missing some applications in the Market.
This firmware is available for download here: kasty-arn10-22-05.zip
This firmware is specific to the Arnova 10 and should not be installed on other devices.
WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
THIS FIRMWARE UPDATE IS USED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Following this new firmware release and the feedback received lately, we want to clarify a few things:
- this firmware is an unofficial custom firmware not supported by Archos/Arnova
- it is built over firmware images from similar devices but full compatibility with the Arnova 10 is not garanteed.
- Android Market support is partial and not all Market applications can currently be currently found
- We are testing our custom firmwares before making them public, and we are only releasing it when it is stable enough (unless noted otherwise)
- In case the firmware does not suit yours expectations, you should always be able to flash back Arnova stock firmware to restore your device.
Please note we are working to remove some of these limitations.
Firmware update procedure:
You can also refer to our flashing procedure page for more details.
The first boot after flashing may take some time, please be patient.
Changelog:
0.5 (2011/06/22) Update based on Arnova official firmware (110512) with BirdieBNL A7HTV2_22.22 modifications
Market fix is still needed, but most issues are gone on A7HTV2. USB flash disks are also working, not in the Explorer though, but in other apps the files appear (audio player, video player, other file explorers).
0.1 (2011/04/29) Initial release
Mounting Arnova 10 on your PC / turning ON USB Storage
This Android 2.2 Froyo firmware does not automatically mount your tablet to your computer when connected on USB. You need to manually turn ON USB storage thru 3 simple steps:
Restoring Arnova 10 default firmware
In case you want to go back to the default stock firmware:
- Download arnova10_update.zip
- Follow the firmware update procedure described earlier in this article

Hi Guys, I really need your help. So I flashed my firmware to the one above (custom froyo 2.2) on my brand new arnova 10. now I cant unlock the screen, neither can I power off the device as the only 2 active options using the screen is silent and cancel. I also tried to plug and overwrite the .img file by connecting to the PC, the device is not recognised and I cant proceed. I really appreciate if someone can really help, im stuck big time!
All I want to do now, is to revert to the original firmware, but I cant get the device to power off or connect to the computer, neither to unlock the screen. please help me
You can use Rockchip flasher to flash a firmware and get your device to work again.
This tool works even if your tablet appears locked or “bricked”.
как adobe flash player пойдет? подскажите
when will u release the new custom firmware of arnova 10? thanks.
http://www.arctablet.com/assets/firmware/Arnova10/kasty-arn10-22-04.zip
When will the software again?????
please
can anyone have Arnova 10 tell me if it support arabic language
he guys i have this problem right now.
after i tryed to get the custom firmware on my Arnova 10 g2 it practically turned in to a brick with only loading and rebooting but now i cant re flash it with the old standard firmware can you guys help out.
i got as far that now windows sees the rk2918 in usb but that’s about it. no more loading and reboots though.
hola, tengo un fallo que se produce con mi arnova 10b, me pone como un fallo de android a ocurrido inesperadamente, y solo me dej forzar cierre… no se como solucionarlo. Les dos mil gracias por intentar ayudarme.
it s work Thks
Yesterday i see the new Arnova10 G2 in a Shop, it runs Android 2.3… but Arnova 10 g2 is very similar to arnova 10/10b. I think is possible with overclock to 640 MHZ and new video driver (only for 10a because 10b have the same screen) runs that os to Arnova 10a/10b. The diffenrent processor is an evolution of our 2818 and i think is compatible. Arnova 10g2 and 10b have the same screen (only 10a needs a different video driver). Overclock is necessary because Arnova 10g2 clock is 1 MHZ.
Crazy idea…..
Thanks for the answer. I hope there is coming a new one. i have since sunday the arnova 10 for a good price. I have put yesterday the 2.1 with the market om it. Works great. So i hope they can fix a new 2.2 froyo.
Is there a possibility to download the custom firmware 2.2 froy for the arnova 10?
I see, the link of Kasty-Arn downloads is delete! I don’t know why. From many time we haven’t any news about new versions of Kasty-Arn and the link for download is delete…. no good…
I have an arnova 10 and I want to go back to the original firmware. I get everything to work, except it doesn’t write the software to my tablet because I get an error saying: ERROR WRITE BLOCK ID.
HELP PLEASE!
dikkecompressie@gmail.com
Strange, i have changed my firmware from official to Kasty-Arn or from Kasty-Arn to Official many times this year (at least 4 times) and i’ve never have problems. Try this way. Delete all from your arnova and go to setup for restoring factory installation. In this way you will have a pure kasty-Arn. After this put the last original image of arnova firmware in the root of your sd card. Then the arnowa ask to you if you want make the update etc etc. I’m not sure because i’ve never encounter this problem.
I can’t get rw root permision using explore root, Terminal Emulator or adb on my Arnova 10 after upgrading to Android 2.2 (Froyo) firmware. Also my barttery is being drained by “Cell Standby” , it’s using 76%. The freeze screen issue is not that big of a deal for me,I just wait a minute or two on the second droid window until it kicks in. Besides the issues that I mentioned I personally love the formware, it’s a big difference from the firmware the tablet came with. I can not see myself go back to the old firmware, just hope to fix these minor issues out.
Hi,
i agree with you. Is a very good work (i’ve made a massive 4 month test) and is better than the original firmware. I’m waiting for next version of Kasty-Arn (until May… if i remember well). In this moment i’ve Eclair original firmware because i want to try the last version (September) of the Arnova official firmware.
Hi,
a little trick. If you love angry birds you can play it on our Arnova 10…. slowly. It’s not very playable. While we’re waiting for an apk able to put our Rockchip to 640 Mhz, i’ve a little trick. In the start screen there is an option icon in the bottom left of the screen. Select it an turn of the background (icon with mountains). Voilà. Your birds fly at playable speed!
Hello,
I upgrated my arnova 10 tablet to android 2.2. When I used froyo 2 days he get problems, I reset it a lot of times. Now the tablet stopped at the beginning screen. I can’t get connected the tablet to my pc because he did not proceed beyond the begin screen. HELP PLEASE!
Reset doesn’t help
Hi,
in my opinion you can try this way:
1. Turn off your device with “reset hole”.
2. Put the image of the original firmware into micro sd (connect microsd to pc and put it into the root of sdcard).
3. Put the micro sd into arnova and turn-on the device.
If you’re lucky the Arnova starts the downgrade of the firmware to the original one. I’m not sure but you can try.
i trie to have a videoconvers. but i cant
can anyone tell me how i have the arnova10
and there is a webcam in the front
i can not instal skype two
Thanks a lot…
Bonjour, je viens de mettre à jour avec ce logiciel et depuis ma tablette ne s’allume plus du tout.
Avez vous une solution ?

Welcome to my tablet inexplicable happened after upgrading to firmware Android 2.2 (Froyo) update for Arnova 10, he asked calibrate the touch screen was rezestivnogo I did not take and successfully pressed the sensor no longer respond to my commands, I can not unlock it but it works because when pressing the power button pops up a menu off the phone but if you press on it off the top picks please help can not solve key problems within 2 weeks!
this may have been previously reset does not help (
Hi,
i’ve downgrade my Arnova 10 for the same reason. Many times when i turn-on my tablet the touch screen don’t recognize my touch! Sometimes while i use the tablet it lost the recognize of the touch and no other action is possible. I must reset the machine with the hardware reset (sometimes for 2 times). I i’ve tried with a custom calibration software but the result is the same: sometimes the tables don’t recognize my touch! In Kasty Arn 10 22-4 i don’t have this problem. For this reason i’ve downgraded my tablet to Eclair again (waiting Kasty Arn10-22-6!).
Please tell me how you threw it at them, I do not understand and can kick his sorry if you do not throw hard pictures as e-mail thanks in advance (
I confirm: the tablet gets frozen, does not respond anymore, even to power off.
So somebody knows how to fix it or not, and where damn site admins who were asked this question and that the inscriptions on the same site promised to reply within 5-minutes and there is no response for 4 days …
Try reflashing the firmware using Rockchip Flashing tools
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archos-tablet/flashing-firmware-rockchip-cpu-based-devices-archos-ht-7-8-arnova-10/
It turned out do not need to take down, simply slide your finger across the screen about 2 inches from the camera so it will be easier to unlock and will re-calibration menu)
good luck with these glands admins please tell how to increase its productivity and to answer the question why is heated strongly processor
conexion wifi ad-hoc????? please
Thanks for the answer, if it will
Back to Skype problem, are there anyone who start skype successfully?
NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!SKYPE DONT WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff. Quite a difference compared to Eclair. Thanks a lot!
Still having problems moving anything to SD card, which is VERY necessary for the Arnova 10 with such small internal memory. HELP!
Hi,
i think in Kasty-Arn10-22-5 the moving to SD card don’t run. I’ve try to move an apk to SD card in another Froyo Telephone and it runs. When i put the same apk to Arnova10 it wasn’t able to moving it to sd card.I hope in future release of the firmware (dream list for Kasty-Arn10-22-6 increase: SD moving, Clock to 640 Mhz, Flash, Java……. wow!).
Bye.
Hello, i’ve try to install Jbed on Arnova 10 (for running Jar Games) using this commands:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/jbed.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib
But when i use CP in line 3 the system say “can’t create ‘/system/…..’ Read-only file system”. I think the line 2 is not correct for our custom firmware. Someone can help me? How can unlock Read/Write /system directory?
You can’t write to /system, this is a cramfs read only file system. To copy files there, you need to built a custom system image in a firmware.
http://wiki.archosfans.com/index.php?title=Dump_your_Home_Tablet_rom_and_create_a_custom_rom
Why would jbed.apk need to go in /system/app, can you just install it like a normal application ?
Hi,
thank you for your explanation. I found this procedure on Jbed installation page. I think the important line is the last because JBed needs the Java Libs (libjbedvm.so) in /system/lib… but the problem is the same.
Bye.
Well, we will try to include this lib as an optional module in our next custom firmware.
Hi,
i think Java (Jar) support is a very interesting adding for a custom firmware (like overclock to 640 Mhz or Flash support). I hope it will be possible. Thank you very much. bye.
But why we can’t to remount “/system” to rw? It would be a good possibility for different tricks. Now I am thinking about connecting arnova 10b to ad-hoc Internet-access point (application JoikuSpot on Nokia Symbian 9.4).
Sorry, I didn’t read carefully about “You can’t write to /system, this is a cramfs read only file system”. A little sad that other devices have such opportunity.
What app should I get for my cam in the arnova 10. I lost it when I updated. Is there a solution for the sd card? I can not move apps to the sd card.
There is a “Camera.apk” app that runs correct in the Kasty-Arn10-22-05. I upload this app to a shared disk. For download: http://www.edisk.eu/vyhledat/camera.apk
Can you please explain ‘shared disk’. I need to have the camera back.

Updated Arnova 10 (came w/ 1.1.7) to kasty-arn10-22-05.zip custom rom and after completion, it now shows up as a Phone. I referenced the video in this article and noticed that the Build number is different than what I see:
Video – Build number .20110225.134212
My Arnova 10 – Build number .20110127.104732
Any words of wisdom? Do I need to update to .20110225.134212? If so, then where can I find the link to this file?
Since the “new” market is running, all the app’s get’s this notification: “This app is not compatible with your device”. In the “old” market, they used to work. Anyone?
Thx,
D.
Thanks! Now my tablet is much better ^^
need help!!
after upgrading to arnova 10 custom android 2.2(froyo) firmware, when the device booted up for the first time, there is an error saying “the application calibration (process com.rockchip.tscalibration) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again” and there is only one option “force close”. what should i do ??
and the device is refreshing itself again and again
problem solved by resetting the device
So, since there hasn’t been an update since June, are we to surmise that there will be no more firmware updates for this tablet?
There isn’t much to expect from the manufacturer…
On our side, we are testing other alternative firmwares, like adapting the Arnova 7 (G1) Android 2.2 Froyo firmware on other devices. There is also progress on the CyanogenMod7 port to RK2818 devices which looks promising. We will publish anything that stable enough.
Thanks much!
I forgot…Anyone can help me about that.
Firmware seems to be ok but I can’t use skype in my arnova 10. I downloaded ok from the Market but when I login skype crash.
Many thanks,
He guys,
After the installation, which went fine, I’m missing some apps which where in the default, like Epub reader and the promised youtube option.
Is there a download where that is in??
Thanks anyway for the great update to froyo !
i trie to have a videoconvers. but i cant can anyone tell me how i have the arnova10 G2 and there is a webcam in the front
Help srill cant cam with the contacts
I’m so frustrated, after upgraded to 2.2, the screen is now locked! Please help!
The screen calibration went so fast, it failed, now touching the screen is unresponsive!
Archos A101B, org ver 1.1.7 (that’s all I remember), restrictive? screen.
Went back to org ROM version was unsuccessful, did not know where to to place the ROM img file, and it seems device has no more room!
Thank you.

Hi ! i’m searching the last eclair custom rom release, it’s 0.3 ?
Help,
someone say to me that CPUBoostLite 4.1 (the application is free) is able to overclock the arnova 10 but i can’t able to try because i haven’t connection to market. Someone can try this application or send to me the APK at “cygnus01X@gmail.com”? Thanks in advance
Arnova relased a new update of the firmware September 7th (2011). Someone knows what are the news in this version?
Thanks.
Hello,
according to “wikipedia” the CPU Rockchip RK2818 (Arnova 10′s CPU) can run with frequency of 640 MHz. Despite to this fact, Arnova 10 CPU runs with 320 MHZ frequency. I’ve tried some apps for overclock the cpu to 640 mhz but… nothing. The CPU frequency never change. I think is locked by firmware. You think is possible, in a future update of firmware, unlock the CPU frequency? In this way we can able to decide the balance by CPU and battery life.
Android thinks my arnova 10 is a phone. Anyway to fix this?
I am having the same problem! And for some reason my computer is not identifying the USB connection so I can go back to the orginal software! HELP Please.
The install of the ROM went perfectly, however when the device first boots the screen callibration cannot end succesfully.
It fails every time, when i skip it you cannot get into settings because the entire orientation is wrong.
I did a lookup on google and found some info on getting into Debug mode
When i run ADB shell and start the calibration tool
adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.rockchip.tscalibration/.TSCalibration
—
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.rockchip.tscalibration/com.rockchip.tscalibration.TSC
alibration} does not exist.
—-
however when i run “PS” prior to skipping the callibration i can see it running fine the first time
—-
969 10006 224m S com.rockchip.tscalibration
—–
what should i do in order to get this resolved and force callibration of the touch panel?
thanks.
Tried Froyo hack, but met some troubles. Looks promising though. Also find the apps market not sufficient, liked AppsLib too much. Could not detect real speed improvement. So in spite of potential improvements of 2.2 I reverted to your 2.1 hack which was far more complete with suitable apps. Archos promised to publish a Froyo fw update, but with arnova 10b and the latest 3 and 4 g devices I’m afraid it will never come. Too bad..
Je suis le seul français a utiliser l’arnova 10??? humour off
Cette tablette est vraiment décevante, l’écran est peu réactif, la plupart des applis que je comptais utiliser sont incompatibles, freetv, la plupart des appli radioamateur android sont incompatibles, pas de youtube et ce que je n’ai pas encore testé!!! le port usb ne reconnait que les souris ou clavier externe, nom disque externe n’est pas reconnu, je pense que clé bluetooth et autres ne le sont pas n’ont plus, donc usb host très limité, clavier, souris, clé usb formaté en fat 32!!!
Avec le firmware froyo, les incompatibilités sont toujours la, quand on veut télécharger sur android market, souvent message phone non compatible…
Déçu très déçu, ou alors il me manque quelques infos!!!
Amitiés a tous
ARNOVA 10 can read usb hard drive?
open only fat32, NTFS is not recognized
is it possible that the usb port isnt supported now?
device wont recognize usb-stick. when i connect to pc via mini usb, it does work.
Read the explanation about USB up above on this page.
Is the kernel for this model/version suitable for overclocking? I am new to this and don’t understand everything yet, but I read on some websites you can get about double performance out of this processor.
I sincerely hope this is made a priority. Even if I only get a couple hours out of this thing at top speed, I will be happy. I volunteer to test it out, my wife has already given up on this tablet but I think if we can over clock it, I can win her back and avoid paying a shitload of money on another tablet.
Just flashed mu 10b with rockchip and this rom. Device boot up nice and fast but after 2 second bring calibration screen and display not responding. Have to flash back to stock.((( Is there any way to get calibration from stock. (I’m so new with those toys))
Arnova 10b useless, only hope on your rom. Any body have success flashing this rom on 10b with Rockchip tool?
@Admin: Any status updates? Its been awhile since I asked…
I have a problem with arnova 10 with this fimware.
My screen freezes and there is no powerdown posibilities.
Holding powerbutton doesn’t do it.
Anyone have had this problem?
Do I have to wait till the batery powers down?
The reset option doesn’t work either. As I see it, I have to unscrew th danm thing to disconect the batery……and I really don’t want to do that
Ok, had to reset it 3 times. Now it’s ok ……so far…
Nothing new about Arnova 10B firmware ? If you need help to test the beta firmware you can contact me so .
I’m anxious to know if and when the Arnova 10B rooting firmware will become available. This unit is just sitting and unusable in it’s current state.
Hope it’s coming , we have admin message one week before say : it’s a matter of days. I need it to install a application that work only with 2.2 Froyo.
There has been no information regarding the firmware since last week as you said. I’m afraid that the interest in the 10B has gone away. If this is the case then the 10B will reamin a dog in it current state.
Have you try the hard reset ? because my tablet was out of order with black screen and i save it wtih hard reset and flash with arnova firmware.
Yes and that worked….but a unit should not be this flakey. I’m sure that one of the rooting mods or CM7 will provide a ton of additional functionality. Anyone have an idea when a mod will be available?
Glad to Hear A capacitive firmware for the arnova 10 will be released soon
Definitely would like to be a beta tester
I also ordered the arnova 10b from nextag as well, but i dont get mine till tomorrow. Im glad to hear you like yours, i cant wait to get mine as well.
I look forward to this to be released for the 10b as well in the next couple days. Keep up the AWESOME job.
Just got my Arnova 10b today from the nextag sale. It is much much nicer than the crap tablets I’ve owned before. Is the new rom ready? If not, can you contact me? I’d like to try what you have for your beta.
The custom firmware is in the works, we currently have a lot of work with all the new Arnova models.
The firmware for the Arnova 10b will be announced on the homepage when available, it’s a matter of days, please be patient.
We will contact you if we need beta testers before the public release.
Thanks a lot for this good news .
Christophe
About the resistive Arnova 10 model that I own: There will be further roms? Or will you stop to develop on it (I hope not) to give maximum priority to arnova10b roms?
Work should continue for both models depending on freetime to support these devices…
I have some rom development experience. How does one help?
Good. I wish to thank you for the work you are doing on Arnova10A.
Keep it up.
how do I change the time zone on the 2,2 I am on the eastern region showing different time
hi running 2.2 firmware how do i change the clock to reflect the correct time i’m in the eastern zone it is 10:15 pm clock showing 2:07 am
Heads up… nexttag just had a $99 fire sale and there are ALOT of Arnova 10b’s(Capacitive shipping to houses soon. Including mine! So I hope we can see the 10b port of the Froyo2.2 coming soon sirs…. Any eta?

I downloaded kasty-arn10-22-04.zip for my tablet a while back. I tried to update my tablet but it is stuck on the android screen when you first turn it on. I tried resetting it but nothing works. Please Help!!!
I have installed the application above. i installed adobe flash as well but when i wanted to play a movie from youtube i still can’t play it. can somebody help me.
I would like to know if is possible to get access to the Arnova 10 BIOS, cause i have read about Archos and it is possible, pressing at the same time power and volume down button but have tried to do the samething on Arnova and nothing happens, any ideas?
Cause if i get access to the BIOS i want to install Fedora on it, please advise… many thanks Andre
If you need someone to test a firmware for Arnova 10b don’t hesitate to send me file without clibration software and i will try it on my tablet to see if everything is working.
regards Christophe
Will do, but make sure you have a working setup for Rockchip flashing tool, in case things go wrong
Regards
I have download rockchip tools : drivers and flashing utility and of course arnova firmware . Do you think i need anything else ?
Good morning and thnaks for your work. I would like to know if there is an update expected for Arnova 10b with capacitive screen ? Ii i install this one for Arnova 10 ,
did it work or crash the tablet ?
Many thnaks.
Christophe
Arnova 10 and Arnova 10b are very similar products, the capacitive screen does not need calibration, the Arnova 10 firmware may work. You will need to use Rockchip flashing tools as the product signatures are different and the Arnova 10 should now be accept by the default firmware upgrade procedure (copying update.img at root).
You don’t risk much, in the worse case you’ll need to reflash stock firmware on your device.
Let us know about the results if you try.
We will make an Arnova 10b version of the firmware anyway, when time permits… probably before end of August.
Thanks for your answer , i saw on a forum that with Arnova 10b and this alternative firmware sometimes the tablet stop at the calibration process because wait for resistive screen . Have you heard something about this ?
May be it’s just necessary to delete the resistive driver in the distribution ?
What do you think about it ?
for flashing with rockchip tools where i can find it ?
Many thanks.
Christophe
Yes, we’re planning to remove the calibration tool from the Arnova 10 firmware, should work on Arnova 10b.
Rockchip flashing tool link and procedure are listed in most pages in this blog and is also mentionned many times in the comments of this article.
Concerning overclocking , i have try yesterday to have root with Z4root , it work but when i reboot tablet i have infinite loop and stop working so i need to flash with arnova firmware.
My question is i try to overclock tablet but don’t work . Have you informations about the kernel , if overclock is possible with this one ?
Normally only root is necessary.
( i try Cpuboost and others but always the same unable to change clock )
Thanks
I need help getting past the calibration issue. My Arnova 10 is stuck at this point. Message I get is “The application calibration (process com.rockchip.tscalibration) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.”
Help please!
Can you try putting a paperclip in the reset hole, it should restart the device and let you calibrate again.
Thanks that worked like a charm. Now i can’t get the USB to mount. I turn it on from tablet but still can’t copy files to device. The device shows from My Computer but can’t copy anything to it.
Any ideas?
good morning , i have Arnova 10B and would like to know if a firmware will be released for this Arnova .(capacitive screen )
Second point , i try to overclock CPU with utility i found on appslib : CPU boost lite but don’t work . application say it’s necessary to have “overclockable kernel” , may be root ??
Have you informations about RK2818 overclock ?
Thanks Christophe
Hi everybody !
first of all I want to thank everybody out there for sharing your experience.
I am new to Arnova 10 and I am still facing two issues I just can’t get out of!!
1) I have tried every firmware available and I am currently running the last release found on this site : 2.2 froyo (thank you ! Pretty cool). I have been doing everything I can to be able to access flash content and I just can’t! Could somebody tell me if it is really possible so I don’t get a headache for nothing ;)!!!!!
None of the downloads I’ve tried work
2)The second problem : as I often use my tablet to write I would need to install a host azerty keyboard ( I am french …). as far as I know android only recognizes it as a qwerty keyboard wich is difficult for me !
I know a manipulation which consists in changing the qwerty.kl file but the problem is that even if I can access the root of arnova with esfile or other, it keeps telling me that I can’t change or copy and paste files as the system file is read only. I mount it Write and read but it keeps denying me access!!!!! I’m getting mad and don’t know how to use ADB which is another solution!
Could anyone help with those issues or one at least ??? !!!!!
many many thanks, I’m probably not going insane thanks to one of you!
Thanks for your kind message
Regarding your questions:
1) there is currently no stable Adobe Flash support for any Arnova machine. The old Rockchip RK2818 processor would probably make it run too slow anyway.
2) You can’t modify system files as they are located on a ready only filesystem. You will need to modify it in the image and rebuild the firmware. There are some information here
We may also be able to help and make a custom firmware for you, if we have time and there is enough demand for such a feature
Finally, maybe such a program helps: http://www.archoslounge.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20319
according to the author, it lets you remap your keyboard keys on external keyboard
good morning , i have Arnova 10B and would like to know if a firmware will be released for this Arnova .(capacitive screen )
Second point , i try to overclock CPU with utility i found on appslib : CPU boost lite but don’t work . application say it’s necessary to have “overclockable kernel” , may be root ??
Have you informations about RK2818 overclock ?
Thanks Christophe
Thank you so much for your quick reply !!!
Concerning Flash you really help me cause I am going to save a lot of time! I’m gonna stop looking for some way to get flash content. Maybe that will be possible with a new firmware ? I m sorry but I don’t know much about that, this flash issue is this something that can be fixed with a new firmware or will it never be possible to get flash because of some material reasons? Just to keep a little hope
Regarding the keyboard issue, I’ll have a look at the firmware “rebuilding” but that sounds a bit too complicated for me ;(
Anyway, thank you so much for your help!!! I keep in touch with “arctablet” for new releases and information!
Bye and nice job to you all
Feel free to try “Laurent2o1o Keyboard” mentionned in my previous comment, and report your results here
Can i use this firmware on my archos 43?… or where can i find a custom rom based on Froyo for archos 43?
I always read that there is no difference between the arnova 10 and 10b beside the display. But why the heck does this firmware not work on the 10b?
I believe it was mentioned the screen calibration hangs it and needs to be removed since it is a different screen.
Hi,
Can this firmware be used for the Arnova 8?
Regards
No, but a specific version is in the works, hopefully to be released next week.
Any news on the software update
pls does this arnova 10 upgrade make it to play youtube and other flash internet video.
pls reply to senax1000@yahoo.com
Great build! However, when I try to move apps to the SD card, it can’t. Any ideas?
yo, las he movido de dos maneras. con otro gestor de archivos, hay muchos en market. y tambien usando el ordenador (computadora)
@gregorio duran
How do you manage to move apps to SDcard? I tried every possible solution (Link2sd, App2sd and the system native function) but none of them works. Link2sd only see 1 partition (while i created 2 partition on the SD). You said you use the computer to move apps to SD. Can you explain how you made it? Or wich app in the market works with this kernel? Please.
I can’t move apps to sd. What’s wrong?
I’ve updated with my arnova 10 with kasty-arn10-22-05.zip.
After reboot the screen indicated “screen locked” and nothing works anymore.
The unlock button is not highlighted so I can’t unlock.
I even can’t connect it to my PC because it no longer see the Arnova.
Is this what they call “a brick”?
Who is able to help me with this?
Thanks in advance for the reply, Con Godart
I’am fom the Netherlands so maybe the English is not as good as it should be.
Con,
If it works as it should, you should just slide to unlock. It’s quite easy to do, but a bit unsual, that lead to confusion for some users.
Else, you should try the reset option (the reset pinhole is next to the connectors on the side of the tablet) or the Rockchip flashing tools, this software can help to reflash in almost any cases.
Bricking means your tablet is not functionning anymore as it should, but most of the time, there are solutions to unbrick as mentionned earlier.
Admin
I tried both and it did’nt work.
I will look to the Rockchip flashing tools maybe that will help.
Does it speak for it self?
This is exactly the same thing that happened to me. The touchscreen was unresponsive most of the time, but it would work every now and again; I also lost all use of my WiFi. I reset it to the factory firmware and will try this firmware again…
eso pasa cuando tocas la pantalla mientras carga.
usa un alfiler (aguja) en el boton de reset y no hay problemas. (se apaga y enciende sin problemas)

Thanks in advance for the reply, Con Godart
Con,
Have to tried to slide the lock up to the green dot?
If it does not work, you may want to do a full reset, using a paperclip in the pinhole reset zone.
Admin
I can’t slide the lock up, it does’nt do anything and I tried several times a full reset.
Nothing happend!
I have the issue as Darius, any ideas what to do?
Hard reset doesn’t work.

The update was working well after the app market fix, but now all of a sudden my wifi wont turn on. I have tried the settings and my wifi maneger but it just turns grey when you try to turn it on…. help
After installing 2.2 (Froyo) and seeing that it worked fine, I set my Arnova 10 aside for an extended period and it became completely useless. The touchscreen was not responsive and once I got it working, I found that my WiFi was no longer working. I just went back to firmware version 1.1.7 and because I enjoyed the 2.2 (Froyo) firmware so much, I will reinstall after I’m sure that the WiFi works.
I’ll keep you posted!
I can’t get into the /system write mode even if I use this method:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4
# chmod 777 /system
Does anyone know why?
I have this custom firmware installed.
Thank you very much. Great job. It works fine.
In other hand I keep on looking for adobe flash player.
Anyone can help me about that.
Thanks again.
Found the sollution. Use CPUBoostLite. You can find it on market
merece la pena
works well?
Does anyone know how to overclock this tablet?
Is it possible to perform the firmware Arnove 7 avecAndroid Market and root – kasty-arn10-22-05
It won’t probably work.
But you can expect a custom firmware for Arnova 7 as soon as we get the device, soon
I’ve got the arnova 7 and i’m impatient to test an alternative firmware for android market and maybe more stability (android browser always crash on google.fr page !!)
Can I make something to help you ?
To help, not much, just be a little patient, firmware for Arnova 7 is in the works
great, génial
Good news! Opera has a app store on its home page where you can download and watch free tv showes the app is called “tv.com” works great and it is free!!!
Uuuffff! I had to reset the device with a needle and it came to life again. The new software is ready and charged. Now I have a problem with the screen , it says it is locked. How can I unlock it?
Thanks
I have the same problem. Did you figure this out? Thanks for any help…
I have the same problem.
And I can’t make a connection to my PC anymore.
Do you have a solution for the locked screen?
I do’nt know what to do anymore to solve the problem.
Thanks
Aaaargh……! I did the firmware update and saw a lot of messages during the instalation. The process looked right until the arnova 10 turned off. And now it doesnt seem to run properly. The screen is dark and the device cannot turn on again. It seems to be dead.
Any advice? I’m starting to feel quite nervous as the machine is quite new
Thanks in advance
Works Great! Big improvement over the Eclair 2.1 that my Arnova 10 used to have on it. When will you guys have Gingerbread or Honeycomb versions available?
I cannot get my PC and tablet to “talk.”
I copied the “update.img” file to the root from my flash drive but it never prompted me to install…
If I plug my flash drive into the tablet it will ask me if I want to install the new firmware, however I’m unsure if the usb port will still work once it starts to install the new firmware…Does anyone know what will happen if I go ahead and try to install like this?
I think I figured it out. For some reason my Arnova 10 came with the wrong USB adaptor, it was not small enough. Not sure what they call the different sizes. I found that my wife’s android phone uses the same “smaller” USB cord. I connected this one and it worked perfectly. That is it connected to my PC without issues. I have sense updated the firmware and I’m on my way. I don’t know how it is going to work yet…
I got it up and running. I bought it to watch movies. Once I installed the new firmware the movie was choppy. I had to revert back to the orginal firmware. I did like the new one better. I just wish the processor was a little faster…
I am trying to use the Netextender from the market to log into my sonicwall with vpn. When I try to log in, it gives me an error saying “I/O error.” When I went to the sonicwall forum, they said the message usually means the kernel doesn’t fully support PPP (which is necessary for NetExtender).
You may be able to find PPP kernel modules for your phone. The files you would need are ppp_async.ko and ppp_synctty.ko.
Another person also said:
“The PPP module has to be built for the specific Linux kernel where it will be used, and there is a unique kernel for each combination of phone model and firmware/ROM. That means the Thunderbolt needs a different module than the Inspire, and even two Thunderbolts running different versions of Android (or different custom ROMs) would need different PPP module files.
You might be able to find modules for your specific phone, or you might want to try building your own. I’ve successfully built the modules for the HTC/T-Mobile G2. Here are some instructions on how I did it, but be warned it’s not a simple task. A bad module could even cause your phone to crash or worse.
Instructions: Building and installing PPP kernel modules for the T-Mobile G2 (http://dl.dropbox.co…Mobile%20G2.pdf)
These instructions were written specifically for the G2, but they should be adaptable to other phones/kernels.”
I am not an expert in building modules and was wondering what it would take to implement this in the next build?
Thanks

WOW, ESTA VERSION ES MAS RAPIDA Y LA RECOMIENDA Y POR LA CAMARA NO SE PREOCUPEN PORQUE Jean-Luke PUSE EL WEBSIDE DONDE LA PUEDEN BAJAR ES ESTA http://www.edisk.eu/vyhledat/camera.apk Y FUNCIONA EXCELENTE Y LO MAS IMPRESIONANTE ES YOUTUBE TRABAJA MUY BIEN. GRACIAS A TODOS LO QUE HACEN POSIBLE ESTO, YANDEL.
I found a “Camera.apk” app that runs correct in the Kasty-Arn10-22-05. I upload this app to a shared disk. For download: http://www.edisk.eu/vyhledat/camera.apk.
Bye.
Thanks, we’ll test and include it in next Kasty firmware if everything is ok
So far it works like a charm!
Hi, i can suggest to you to upload (or suggest the name) an apk for running camera/video correctly while the next update of the firmware is ready. I think is a good thing.
Will do, thanks for your suggestion.
WOW! it works fine. Yes, the camera apk is missing (why?) but i think is possible download the apk from the original firmware ad upload it in this version. In other way there are many other programs that runs the camera. “Fast Burst Camera” works well (but no video).
Jean-Luke,
Thanks for your feedback.
We’ll try to have the camera back in the firmware pretty soon, please check again this firmware page.
Regards,
Yesterday i installed kasty 2205 , looks fine, but where has my camera gone to?
yeah i was wondering that too. so i just switched back to the original firmware.
i went back to the original stock firmware. it seems faster for me that’s why. or am i don’t something wrong?
heh… i keep making mistakes.. anyways i meant “am i doing something wrong”.
actualizado a 2.2 en junio. va mucho mas rapido. me gusta.
pero el market es muy pobre, pocas aplicaciones, y tampoco aparece el market de archos, arnova. aparte de eso estupendo. (tambien en un momento se me bloqueo la pantalla, alfiler y listo) gracias por vuestro trabajo desde españa.
Hola Gregorio
Que aporta este ultimo firmware contra el original de arnova??
Todavia no me he atrevido a actualizar
Gracias por adelantado
pues es mucho mas rapido…. yo lo uso sobre todo para leer comics… es mas fluido. cierto se me ha bloqueado alguna vez la pantalla. se arregla dandole al reset, sin problemas. y tambien he tenido que buscar las aplicaciones. baje el market de arnova, y apliclaciones por mi cuenta. porque el market que trae no tiene muchas aplicaciones. aparte de eso. veo la tablet mucho mas fluida.
(WALLPAPER TIP)
for everyone that’s interested in wanting to put a perfect fit wallpaper for this tablet…. sit ur picture program or resize ur wallpaper to 640×300 or 320×150. but keep in mind that the top 1st inch can’t be shown because of the bar. anyways thought i share it to everyone that doesn’t know about this yet.
hey guys!
just in case some of you guys didn’t notice…. using ur nail lightly seems more convenient. wish they had a opinion of adjusting the touch level. or is there gonna be?
*option. heh heh
can someone please help me? i updated it using the file here… right now it stays in screen lock.. i don’t know how to get out of it. even if i reset using a pin.
Can you slide the lock up to the green dot?
got it. thanks man! i guess i didn’t follow the full instructions at first. lol
If the paperclip in the pinhole button for reset did not work, you may want to try the Rockchip flashing tools to reflash the same firmware or go back to stock firmware.
Our kasty-arn10-22-05 custom firmware was tested on at least 2 Arnova 10 machines before release and worked fine for us.
awesome info! thanks so much. you guys rock!
Hi, is there already an update available please?
I still can not run adobe flash… that’s the biggest issue, how can I solve this?
tx!!
How to get full market (thanks to the SlateDroid forum)
1) Open the market, and sign in with your account.
2) After that accept the terms and you’ll see an empty market. Close the market.
3) In the notification bar you’ll see an update ‘icon’. Wait for it to disappear.
4) Go to Settings –> Applications –> Manage Applications –> All
5) Scroll down to Market, open it and clear the cache
6) Go back, scroll up to Google Framework Services, and open it, delete the data
7) Now reboot and go to Market, you should now see a fully Market.
*) I’ve noticed that sometimes after the reboot it takes me a second try to get the full market (so steps 4 and further again)
I updated firmware from 2.1 to 2.2 and now have an issue with tablet it does not stay on for more than 5 seconds and when it is up none of the function work it just show desktop with date, time and no service info. I tried the rest button but same problem. Is there someway to fix this issue? Is there a way to retore firmware
Paul Davidson, I too want this tablet to run flash… I hope that an update can fix the problem with the root.
Installed this update- had the same issues as reported elsewhere, browser (both dolphin HD, and the stock browser) force close after 10-15 seconds. Didn’t try opera, as was suggested here, might give that another shot- but has anyone solved this yet?
Having no success getting a working flash player on this device- which is the primary purpose for me. It installs and shows on the uninstall screen for the 2.1 custom firmware, but doesn’t actually work- this 2.2 doesn’t allow me to run a browser for long enough to tell.
Hi,
I got some issues with this firmware.
It was in loop onthe “X” boot animation.
I have a logcat but who is the maintener of this firmware ? Wher can I send it ?
Hello, this firmware solved a little problem of my Arnova10: with the original one, sometimes when i turn off and then turn on my Arnova 10 it don’t show me my wallpaper,apps,widgets… but the default wallpaper,apps,wid… with specular sensitive screen (if you touch up it intended down, left -> right..) and i must reset or turn off again the Arnova for solve the problem (every turn on, for me was double!). I’m not able to contact Arnova to solve this problem (in the official site there isn’t a FAQ list or an e-mail).
Heres the customer service page,you can call them or send them an e-mail with your problem… http://arnovatech.com/support/customer.html?country=us&lang=en&p=3 ,just put in the country your from.
Does anyone know when there will be a more stable hack for the arnova 10?
Carl,
We’ll try to get a more stable release out soon, but don’t expect miracles… since those firmwares are just hacks and aren’t built from source code.
Hopefully Arnova/Archos will release a Froyo update some day.
Thank you for replying.
any plains for gingerbread for this tablet?
The reset hole is your best friend,i find it more useful than,recovery.Its the little hole above your charge port.
I just bought this Arnova 10 about a week ago,replaced the Archos 7 HT V2.The only thing i like about the Arnova over the Archos is the big screen and video camera.I like this 2.2 Froyo,which gave me problems at first and i still cant charge my tablet when it shut off,as soon as i plug it in the tablet boots up,i have to let the tablet die before i can fully charge it with it off.The only thing that sucks about this firmware is it isnt a read/write partition,because of squashfs.Hopefully this can be fixed.
Followed the instructions in the video and worked like a charm. Seems good overall with a few issues so far that I see. 1) the battery charge state seems to drop very fast after removing main power (within 5 mins from 99% to 63%) 2) although I powered the unit off connecting main power powers the unit back on (now that could be either a setting or app I’ve installed) so overall SO FAR SO GOOD. Much thanks goes out to those who have created the firmware. Twenty plus years on being on the Net and I’m still surprised at the generosity of complete strangers in donated time, effort, and expertise. When a lot of us would simply return an item that wasn’t functioning as we would hope, the FEW roll up there sleeves, put on a pot of coffee, pull an all-nighter (or 2) and give us an option (FOR FREE) to get more from our devices. CHEERS I SAY TO THEM!
I have done the procedure : Download, put it in the root everything is fine and after formating cache it doesn’t start not even with the rest button.
please help
Is possible mount the external USB Pen in Host mode with a script? With your firmware (i love it) I put my ARNOVA 10 in Host USB mode and connect the USB pen. Nothing. For the explorer the Pen is unmout. In this firmware there is there is an apllication for the script. Is possible Mout with a script?
Thanks in advance

Try to hard reset your device (put a pen in the reset pin hole).
hello
it has not work for me :-(.
Everythings goes on to the reboot.
3.2.1 reboot…..and nothing. I’ve been watting 10 mn…nothing.
So what can i do?
thank’s for help.
Try to hard reset your device (put a pen in the reset pin hole).
You can also try to flash again your firmware with Rockchip tools :
or restore latest stock firmware.
Hello,
Hard reset was my best friend. Thanks. Now this version works….but i’m very disappointed by the market. Any solution to have a real market with many apps
Installed this update and was impressed that market app is working, i was also happy with the lock screen which was not available in the original firmware. However, i have experienced that after coming from a black screen, the screen doesn’t respond while trying to unlock, also wifi service is being turned -off instantly when in locked mode. I did a hard reset but still the screen wont respond. I have reverted back to the original firmware because luckily the device was able to read the image i placed at my sdcard. Hoping this issues will be resolved sooner cause I really liked the update and I want to use it. Are there anymore stable release coming? What app is that lock screen i really like it.
Can someone add ppp module to this firmware for vpn access. I am trying to use sonicwall netextender and it does not work.
Thaks

Can someone include the ppp module in this firmware?
Thanks
-Dimitry
when comes the new version from froyo Update?
The update was working well after the app market fix, but now all of a sudden my wifi wont turn on. I have tried the settings and my wifi maneger but it just turns grey when you try to turn it on…. help
I have the same issue, did you found a solution for this?
I downloaded the file and dragged to my arnova file but it wont start with the update and when I open it from files nothing happens…help please
I have it downloaded but its sitting at the home screen and wont let me slide unlock arrow across to do anything …HELP
had the same experience with the issues you mentioned, for the meantime I decided to use the original firmware until this issues are resolved.
The screen isnt calibrated. I had to unlock the screen from the top left. It’s as if the screen was upside down. So I slid from the top left, down. Try it.
Arnova buy a 10 recently, and decided to install the update (http://arnovatech.com/support/firmware.html?country=ly&lang=en&g=1), if I noticed that when he began installing light load table was not working and plugged the charger. Began the actualization and then turn off and did not catch more. I plug the power adapter and not turn any light table (or green or red), and the charger worked perfect before starting the upgrade. The table does not turn the charger seemed to be malfunctioning. I’ve tried to restart several times through the reset button!, But only once Arnova logo appeared on the screen and began to blink on and off, I guess not charge? the charger is new .. only used once …. .
I updated firmware from 2.1 to 2.2 and now have an issue with tablet it does not stay on for more than 5 seconds and when it is up none of the function work it just show desktop with date, time and no service info. I tried the rest button but same problem. Is there someway to fix this issue? Is there a way to retore firmware?
when i try to use browser it gos to the forced close screen? amy reason why. will work with google search or if i load opera works ok. tried to reflash same.?
I got that as well i just use opera all the time
works great after the app market fix!
is this a root for the Arnova?
Hello i’ve tried this new Firmware. It’s look very good but in my opinion there are two problems:
1. The icon on the screen are very spaced. Is not possible put icon very close like the original firmware. Why?
2. USB PEN DRIVER cant be loaded to access at….I did the settings for HOST USB..and it’s not detected as before the upgrade (like other post).
Thank You!
I tried this firmware, it was fairly fast, but the issues with the market had me reverting back (I need a PDF reader). Also, the home screen does not rotate properly with the device rotation, and I can’t figure out how to turn off slide to unlock. Although, on stock fw the home screen doesnt rotate at all. I have reverted to your custom 2.1 firmware for further testing.
came out with an arnona firmware update for the arnova 10 . Yes please try and update everyone. i am getting my arnova tomorrow.
Thanks for the note Steve, we’ll make a post about that.
Comments:
Problems found after update my ARNOVA 10 with 2.1 eclair to Arnova 10 custom Android 2.2 (Froyo) firmware with Android Market and root.
1-USB PEN DRIVER cant be loaded to access at….I did the settings for HOST USB..and it’s not detected as before the upgrade
I think driver for usb port got missing.
Where i can get this USB driver and how i can install it on?
2- Internal camera got issues: Quality on pictures is Low, video recording shows green dots all over the area of video, also when record the video and options setting are mess up too…
Where can I get the drivers for the camera??

4- issues With the annoying ” forced to close” with application
please…any suggestion about how to resolve this problems?
hello
first thanks for this custom firmware, i tested it yesterday and find it cool to use
but finally, i prefer wait a new version because many things miss and many things not optimized yet but it’s something really promising !
i wanted to know how i can back to the original software because you notify link but no instructions
thanks a lot for your help and again, i wait a new update about your CF
cheers.
We will clarify instructions on the article on how to restore the stock firmware. Please check back later today…
thanks for your answer
no problem, i’ll wait for this
cheers
Well sorry to bother you again. I got another problem on my ARNOVA 10. I can’t turn on wifi anymore. Dunno why but when I try to press the turn on wifi it just become grey and does nothing. Would you know how to fix this ?
have you tryed the settings widget?
Yes that’s where I tried to turn wifi on. But it seems that the VPN isn’t started at launch when it should.
The same thing just happened to me, did you find out how to fix it?
Same problem here. A fix anyone ?
I found the solution. I installed the ToggleWidgetForBlur .
In the widget I clicked Airplane Mode OFF (which was ON in my device although it was indicated OFF when I pushed the exit button for a couple of seconds) and WiFi ON.
I got a problem on my ARNOVA 10 since I installed this firmware. USB won’t work, PC to ARNOVA or USB to ARNOVA. Then I can’t downgrade the firmware. Do you know how I can downgrade my firmware, either to the first one from arnova or the 2.1 custom ?
I tried to get the update img with Sd Card and put it on my root, but it doesn’t seem to trigger the auto install.
Turn on mass storage when you conect to your pc, that worked for me
Oh yeah it worked ^^ Man you’re a genius and I am such a moron ^^.
Would someone bother answering another question. I was wondering if the ARCHOS 101 IT was better than the ARNOVA. I mean is it worth those 140 euros ?
Thanks PApa3
Is it possible to see youtube videos with this firm??
Check the video in the article and you will know
I’m going to give it a shot! Was running your earlier but now needing to run 2.2
to try and get the Kindle for Android working… here goes nothing!
I’m not having any luck with my apps market working or the factory browser
I have gotten rid of the Arnova Tablet.Traded it out for 2 Desktops and a Laptop. Was not worth that $200 and 2.2 Froyo is a disaster. Best luck to the rest of ya.
At first once the installation finished and my tablet was running 2.2. The browser kept force closing. The Google Android Market has alot of issues. You know all them apps that are available on 2.1 on the Google Android Market? Well for some reason 95% of the apps are GONE. I can’t download ADW, Facebook, Open Home and much more. I have been having to go on my desktop and search for specific APK apps that I use to be able to find right on the market. I am not sure if there is a bug or what but it would be great if it was looked at. I have had a few random crash/restarts. The wifi takes a dump on you once in a while but not as often as it used to. It still does not recognize the battery as well as I was hoping it was going to. Runs much faster then 2.1 but still is a little choppy. (When sliding from screen to screen etc. ) I do not see this tablet being able to perform anywhere near the newer high end models. I have not tested to see If any overclocking software will actually work now. I will let you know as soon as possible.
Tablet to PC via USB Cable. When you connect to your pc with it after the 2.2 update it does nothing. Say good bye to usb file transfer…. For now until its fixed..
I have the same problem with the market, the most applications are gone.
Is there a solution for.
Do someone has solved the problem that most of the applications are gone ?
Installed perfectly, works almost perfectly. But cannot install Flash Player 12 from website?
great
i write a news on jbmm
Finally! Congrats and thank you so much for the update!
I have the Arnova 10 G2.
T try the market fix but it is not posible to use the save button.
