THIS ONLY WORKS WITH THE 2.0 VERSION OF THE aPAD (THE ONE WITH A WEBCAM). DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON A VERSION 1.0 aPAD (WITHOUT WEBCAM). This is a custom firmware based on hellomerongs custom fw and the latest Archos7HT firmware release, version test-3.5. Archos parts are: Launcher.apk, framework files, media players. What works: New in test 3.5 * Full screen works in all programs (thanks to hellomerong!) New in test 3: * Portrait mode works as expected! New in test 2: * Based on hellomerongs fw, so has root and all the nice apps he added * Added Simeji (Japanese IME) * Replaced media players with the Archos files. New in test 1: * Seem a bit faster * Launcher looks a bit nicer * Apps can run in real landscape mode (see Robo Defense screenshot) * Droid Comic Viewer works, did not work for me on the original firmware Features of base: * USB Mass Storage * Root * Wifi * Everything you would expect from hellomerongs custom fw What is worse: * Main button only switches display off. To switch on, use the menu button. * After sleeping a long time, the display will not switch on just by pressing the menu button. Press the main button followed by the menu button to wake up
* No real fullscreen. As you can see on the screenshot, the menu is always visible. EDIT: Menu is NOT shown when playing movies using the Video Player. So fullscreen works for Video! Fixed in 3.5
* Some apps are upside down when in portrait mode, i.e. Gmail. Comic Viewer works as expected, though. FIXED in 3 How to install: * Download the update.img and flash it following the instructions here: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=611.0 * This should work, but no guarentees, so flash on your own risk.
