First of all thanks to sigma.nl, for his JFG firmware, and to the spanish guy creator of the auto microsd swap and the best boot screen for our gamepad.

I used this 2 firmwares as a base to mine. The specs are:

- Rooted

- Removing unnecessary applications but in Google Play (Plus One, Maps, Streets, etc …)

- Elimination of the Chinese character keyboard.

- Antutu benchmark

- Blackmart

- ES File explorer

- All Archos apps (you can remove them if you dont want them)

- Auto swap between internal memory and microSD card

- Boot screen with a gamepad image with android logo

- Improved performance of RAM, CPU and GPU.

Important: Rom is a FULL WIPE all userdata will be delete and you need CWM to flash the rom (follow the tutorial to install the CWM recovery image): http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/archos-gamepad/tutorial-flash-cwm-clockworkmod-5-5-on-archos-gamepad/

Afer some days I noticed gamepad gets lag, not only my rom, oficial one has it too, but there is an easy fix.

Using ES File Explorer or another root explorer go to /system/app/ and inside that route create a folder called ori.

Move MediaProvider.apk and MediaProvider.odex inside the ori folder (both are on /system/app/), restart the gamepad and enjoy the lack of lag.

I dont know what causes this, but afer doing what I said the lag disapeared. It works even with 64GB cards, but you need to format then into fat32 first.

a perfect fw would be Cyanogenmod 10.1 but nobody ever tried porting it.

hey i'm having some trouble and i hope someone can help. i set up the RKAndroidTool and did all that but I can't seem to get past the flashing part. I've used the recovery file provided by sigma.nl and it stays on a black screen (stuck in flashmode). I also tried the Troy recovery but get the same result. I tried the stock recovery.img and it update but upon rebooting I get stuck on the following screen:

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8298/7885263992_1b0cd197d3_n.jpg

Finally I tried again with the one provided on AndroidTab (http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/rk3066/).

This one gets me to the CWM menu but that's pretty much the extent of where I can go. I tried loading the rom given at the top by installing from external sdcard within CWM and it seems to install successfully but upon reboot it just brings me back to CWM. I've tried this with Sigmax's as well but I get the same result.

I've also tried doing everything via ADB but I can never get the driver's to install (most likely because of Windows 7 x64) so it never recognizes the device when I do ADB Sideload within CWM. I've altered the ADB file to include the Gamepad but it still does nothing.

I'm pretty much at a dead end and any help is much appreciated.
