Arnova 10 G2 tablet ROOTED with new custom firmware...full root and increased app storage space...
Not many videos out there on this great low budget tablet but great perfomance,...thought I would do one myself of my newly purchased Arnova 10 G2 tablet ...
I agree on appslib! :) see the link where it says.... "Android Market is
not included with this firmware, please use ArcTools to download and
install Android Market on your device, after flashing the custom firmmade
by Arctablet, it won’t work currently work on this one, but that should be
fixed soon - Default Apps & Market 3.4.4 (rootless Install): should work
with any firmware including non rooted ones ** recommended option with this
firmware **..............etc"
@Gioy10 ...The display is no way near as good as the ipad or other top
names...but it is acceptable for web and films and most games...not as good
at all angles of viewing...but again as a first tablet buy at the price I
got it for £139... I think it's great! Also remember that it is capacitive
only two points so not as good as ipad or others but pinching zoom is
fine....cheers! Just for info...I saw Archos same 10.1 model selling for
under £150 on Amazon.
I am installing...UPDATE 4/8/2012. ROM is now 1.5c as per website freaktab
I am partial to Bob's ROM as I've have no issues in past apart from slow
boot on first release....I use Titanium to restore my apps onto it and love
it!! LEt us know if you find that MorkaMod or Katsy works well for you.
cheers dude!
You need to download the zipped file....as it contains all you
need.....make sure to follow the procedure to add the drivers as explained
by the guy that did this on arctablet url...I added the 64bit win7
drivers...you need to install the RK29 drivers for your OS. See the link in
post above.
no I have not seen this..screen doesn't come on randomly at all on
mine....one thing I woulddd say though,...is that as you install more apps
it seems to slow down the boot up time???? or maybe it's just mine!? still
happy with it though and you're right about the google play. Cheers!
@aprimona .Update for tis post: I'm currently trying to get it to stream
from my WMP on win7 with CIFSMANAGER will post if I get time to do
it.....and final note, just to give some idea.... battery is pretty good...
it lasts easily 2-4 days on standby and 5-8 hours in use web etc...
@helicoptered the effects are because I am using my favourite luncher
called "Go Launcher EX" and for the ROM, please see "show more" under
video. PS, ROM is fast once it fully boots up! bit slow to load all... but
happy with it all the same. cheers!
Hi I have installed this firmware but screen comes on on its own sometimes
have you had this happen at all ? Otherwise it works very well. Don't try
install market from Ark tools as new play market already there on reboot.
@aprimona how is the display? i mean,is the quality of it like as the ipad?
how you can describe it? i wanna buy it but my problem is the display
because i have never touched it with my hands! please reply,thanks!
finless bobs gingercomb ROM is tremendous on this tablet to get market
without root see my blogpage
//cirrusminor.info/2012/01/15/market-version-3-4-4-on-archos-arnovo-10-g2-without-root-or-flashing/
Such a good review :) i just ordered mine from amazon..can this very same
firmware also be downloaded from Arnovatech . com ?? is the firmware update
from arnovatech the very same one as this??
@helicoptered you just need to hold screen with finger and go to wallpaper
section it's there under the live wallpapers...+ I am using my favourite
luncher called "Go Launcher EX"..:)
Finless Bob just released a new ROM yesterday 1-29-2012 and it is available
at FreakTab dot com. It is faster and comes with the Android Market, Gmail
and the AppLib already installed.
hey man, i download this custom firmware on the arnova and it broke it so
ive got a new one but i really want the market place, maybe make a tut on
how u did it?
how do you get that 'water like wave effect' when you close an app etc, and
what firmware is that? I got an Arnova 9 G2, just wondering? Cheers for the
upload
@aprimona Are you using the new hacked ROM, of gingerbread, and how is it
faster if that is? plus how do you get those launchers doing that crazy
effects?
not at all...works great for browsing. very pleased with it....Bob made
update but still I have not had time to try it...check his url in my
description.
just hold screen with finger and go to wallpaper its in there under the
live wallpapers...+ I am using my favourite luncher called "Go Launcher
EX"..:)
i too have the 10g2 fully rooted. Bob (finless) is the man!!!!!! going to
install go launcher now i think. oh and dude .....ur keyboard is ancient
!!!!
Is the 4GB version identical to this other than the HD space?
Archos Arnova 10 G2 With Working Android 3.4.4 Market WITHOUT ROOT
The stock arnova comes with appslib installed due to the device no being certified by Google you can download the google apps from arctalet site and download ...
The link you provides is a forum thread that links to megaupload. That site
is currently blocked by FBI. I downloaded gapps somewhere else, but that
did not work. I got errors about "there is a problem parsing the package".
On the internet it says it's the firmware...so that I have to root. I am
not doing that cause my previous Arnova was killed after rooting.
I am just wondering, does the power button work in the newest version? I've
been noticing in the comments on your site that there is a bug with it.
Also hearing people have not been able to restore back to stock firmware.
Also, can you please list the features that do and don't work? And does
this slow down the device at all? Sorry, but I really want to make sure
this works well before I install it.
(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. :)
Tengo ya instalado este update en mi ARNOVA 10, y despues de instalar ADOBE
FLASH 10.1 or 10.2.apk no funciona cuando trato de abrir paginas con
contenido FLASH asi como YOUTUBE o FACEBOOK , se cierran las paginas cuando
trato de abrirlas. ALguna sugerencia de como solucionar este problema?
I already have this in my table ARNOVA 10, then after this I installed
adobe flash 10.1 or 10.2.apk to be able to open pages with FLASH content as
facebook or YOUTUBE,but it doesn't work. the pages get closed Somebody
could help me to figure out how to fix this issue?
It has been removed because of serious problems reported using it. Check
arctablet Blog for older firmwares, that are more stable. We may release an
Arnova 10 update based on the very efficient Archos 7HTv2 firmware in the
future. Cheers
did update,on my Arnova 10,helped it with speed,and more stable,..will
there be anymore up dates ??? i have a Xoom and spoiled with its power,just
wanted to get this working good for wife ,before i send it back,thanks
@joaovictor1994 Can't tell it is safe, you can also get into troubles when
flashing firmware. But there are good programms such as the Rockchip
Flashing tool that can get you out of trouble in case things go wrong...
Lo he instalado en mi tablet ,se instala un app llamado superusuario , que
el antivirus la reconoce como un spyboot que envia datos a terceros. Solo
pude anular con task killer. Cuidado
did it but the internet broeser is working for some time and then it just
shuts itself off (the internet browser) tried to install another browser
but it still has the same problem
Well it seems to start up,then shows white lines on the above middle
section of the tablet,then it reboots it keeps doing this .Why ? And HOW
can i fix it !?
i got the g3 today as far as i see it it's not worth it, i paid $169. at
sears, the g3 is the newer model of this one ,and it was eazy to get
playstore app loaded on it but it does not come with playstore /android
market the touch works fine but i had problem with netflix it would not
work ,youtube was ok speakers are bad ,cam is poor and only have 1 cam i
have gotten cheaper/same price tablets that worked better than this
(viewsonic view pad 7 ) worked and felt like a better made product
Sorry I don't have any particular case to recommend for this tablet. I
think any case for the 10b G2 should do, and both tablets seem to share the
same body. Regarding tablet stands we should review some on our site in the
near future... Cheers.
Please I need help. How to move Apps from internal memory to SD card .
There is no optinos for thet in tablet , is there any app for that or? My
Internal memory is full bicause only 500mb is free on tablet for apps :(((

Hi there, would this custom firmware work with the 10d G3? Im looking for
an update that will let me use my SD card for storing apps instead of only
the internal 4gig
gracias tu tutorial me a ayudado mucho,por fin gracias a tu ayuda mi
sobrino podra disfrutar del play store (me tenia loco con el juego del pou
eseee jajajaja)
great vid, what case would you recommend for this tablet? Is there a case
which will open up to act as a support for the tablet so we can place it on
a tilt?
Hi i have an Arnova 10d g3 i have uploaded arctools 0.78 but when i click
on firm ware and agree nothing happens please help dont know what else to
try
hey can you please help me i have a problem with my arnova 8..i was
actually trying to reinstall then my nephew Brok the USB cable so i bought
another one but its not doing anything..even when i try to turn it on it
only show "arnova " on the screen
Won't work on mine - says "Error 95: Firmware file copy failed - Archive
file cannot be accessed, please check that your device is not mounted on
USB" and it is not mounted on anything... any advice?
Dude, help me out. When I go to the tap where it says " firmware," and
touch where it tells you "select your firmware" I can' t find any. If you
know how can fix this somehow, please let me know.
@MrThijmenx There are always risks flashing a firmware, but they are very
low and there are powerful tools to repair a "bricked" tablet in case
things went wrong.
OMG ARNOVA just very well may be the shittiest tablet ever released. for
starters why the fuck is the no google play store. APPSLIB is the worst app
market there is . no selection at all.and the videos that are posted on how
to flash root and get the play store are just as shitty as the tablet
itself. if you have an arnova tablet throw it in the trash because that is
where it belongs. for 174.00 you can get a way better product than this
bucket of SHIT.
What you see in the video is the alternative install procedure describe in
the link from the video description. The device is plugged to the computer
thru USB, you'll find all the details in the link. The Vol+ / reset put the
tablet in a flashing mode, that is more or less equivalent to a fastboot
for Rockchip based tablets. There is also an easy custom firmware update
method that makes the flashing process very easy, check our link.
Hello, I just bought the Arnova 10b G3 tablet today and I want to root it,
but the firmware link you provided didnt work for me. I have a Windows 7
laptop and I dont see anything on my computer that happened on your
although i followed the step correctly several times. Please help cause I
cant deal with not having this tablet as a full android. Thank you.
that was a bit harsh. sorry. but seriously, are you initially powered off
when you start? it looks like youre plugged into power and usb, no?
necessary? need to hold volume buttons or anything while pushing the restet
button? I've rooted many devices, but never an arnova tab. what state does
tab need to be in when starting this, off or fastboot or?
I always wonder at what point of development for these devices people sit
down and say... I have a great idea, lets remove the already established
android market from the device, and add our own shit market with limited
and out of date apps... and everyone says YEAH!!!! awesome idea!!! my
god...
I assume the C stands for the capacitive version of the 10b G3 while the
"normal" cheaper version features a dual-touch resistive screen. When I
visited our BCC for the last time last week, they didn't have stock yet, so
I don't know for sure, but well. :)
So my win 7 64bit doesn't recognize this POS at all. Tried to run the
rockchip thing many times, but windows doesn't see the device, and yes, I
have the sdk installed (but haven't tried adb with this device). About to
throw it out the window.
Firmware or software? Does it include radios or modems, or just SW/ROM? I
cant get the damn thing to transfer data over a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, but
works just fine with solid Wi-Fi hotspot. Does this fix that?
I ran the whole thing in the right way, but when the procedure ends on
rocktool detachment usb also expect more than 10 minutes, but the tablet is
written on for more than 20 minutes for help
this is the worst video ever. sorry. there is no text or audio explaining
anything youre doing. I have no idea what programs or files youe using.
total waste of time
