I have the issue that the pad just locks up and that I need to reset it with the reset button on the back... I think this is a firmware issue..

We have the Archos 7b G2 capicitive here and would like to know if I can flash this on that one too? If not it would be great if it can be ported to the Archos 7b G2 also! They look similar and prbably the hardware is alo very similar. I tried flashing earlier versions of Kasty's before but that resulted in a non booting tablet. We only can run the Morkamod Honeycomb rom on our 7b G2 but that isn't always that great and very outdated

Unfortunately, this firmware won't work on the Arnova 7b G2, different hardware.

Make sure you use Restore button when flashing the firmware, not the Upgrade button.

Reflash if needed.

Hi, does anybody know if this upgrade to ICS 4.0 will work on the 7b G2 (capacitive) or is it just for the 7 G2.

I want to go to version 4 as I understand that this allows apps to be installed directly to the SD card, thus overcoming the limitation of only having a 1.5 GB partition for downloads.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It probably won't work as ICS requires an updated Linux Kernel (3.x) to run properly, the kernel being specific to the device hardware, a 7 G2 kernel won't probably run on the 7b G2.

Cheers.

First of all, i would thank you for the firmware, very stable, keep it up. This is my first tablet ever, ever since i came across your website, it just made my tab better and better with all the firmwares that you provide for my 7 g2. ics is the best, very stable, now i'm able to play games, that i couldn't with my gingerbread. I do have one problem though. Just found out that my multitouch is acting strange. Like when i play pes 2012, the controls are all messed up. When i'm using the directional touch in pes, and press b or a for a pass or a long ball, and release my finger, b or a stays pressed. the only way to bring it back to work is to stop touching the screen ( releasing the directional touch ). The same with heavy gunner, shoot with both guns, and you release one gun, it stay pressed. I hope you know what i mean. I've been a huge fan of your wesite ever since i had my G2. Do you mind helping me out ? any tips would be usefull, thank you....
