Dears ,

Well , many thanks for the support you are giving to Archos Tablets , really appreciated.

So i follow the instructions on the below link to run gingerbread (http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archos-tablet/installing-cyanogenmod-gingerbread-on-archos-gen8/) , and its working and i found it when i rooted to the Developer edition , taking into consideration that i am running the image for this link http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/

Today i wanted to download the Google application from this site ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps) and when i clicked on Cyanogenmod 7 , it says to me No SD Card while i have an Archos 70 with HD 250 GB.

Please help me how to solve this problem and also do i have to update the image again as i see a new update on the folllowing site http://www.openaos.org/wp-upload/gen8/2011-12-24/ReleaseCandidate_UNSUPPORTED/ and the truth i am lost and i don't know what to download and how to install these files on my archos.

Thanks again for your support.

Best Regards

Raymond

You should get those files (CM7) :

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Then you should copy the contets of the archive to your tablet, at the root of the device.

So all the archive content goes to /system

You can skip META-INF directory.

You need to do that when the Gingerbread system is running.

Using latest OpenAOS image from 12/2011 is probably a good idea, as bugs are usually fixed in every update.

If you don't see the root directory, you should unpack the Gapps to a directory you can access from your computer, then use Root Manager or ES File Explorer to move the files in /system.

Arctools should also help with these manipulations, but it requires some changes to work with OpenAOS firmwares, I'll check what I can do, but that probably won't happen before next week.

Well , thanks for your support to me .

I am lost , my pc see the hard disk of my archos on Gingerbread selection but i can not open it at all, i see it in my computer and in file management and i can not transfer any file to it through USB , also , i click to open the camera i received the same message NO SD INSTALLED ......

Do you have any idea what i did wrong , also i tried to do as you asked me to tranfer files .. nothing happened .

From my experience , i installed an application named words with friends and its a game and i was having it in my downloads previously and it has been installed succefully , but for google application and the market , i don't know how to find a solution for that and to let the system see that my tablet has SD.

Waiting your advise

Thanks

About the camera error, it may be not related and it could be the camera is not supported in this firmware, I can't check for now.

Can you update to latest OpenAOS firmware, see if it works better for you.

Regarding Android Market installation, it should be available soon thru Arctools, I will let you know.
