Yep, unfortunality:D anyway...:

You mean the *.gz and *.img files? I didnt compress them:)

Okey here you are;) :

Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0 ("Unix-Break")
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1 ("Unix-Break")
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0 ("Unix-Break")
Honeycomb||/openaos-honeycomb.img|/init|0 ("Unix-Break")
("Unix-Break")

The name is openaos-honeycomb.img
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Thanks for the report:);)

I also could make a how-to get Cyan on Gen8:) for the new users

(the how to install urukdroid video helped me a lot when i want to install UD (version 0.6:)))

Any one`s interested?:)
[Gen8 Android Development] bigfau:
Yes, I am

:)
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Okey, i`ll do it, but not today..

maybe tomorrow, i will report if i do it:)

Hey folks! Loving the CyanogenMod port for our Archos! At now it's a bit slow but I think it will be better.

Now that I have holidays and we have the boot menu working I'm going to do some work to boot Honeycomb. Simply to have some fun :)
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
See how easy it is :)

Only sometimes if you set it up or resync, it can happen that CM sources doesn't sync properly and you get build errors. If so just try to sync at a later time. It happened to me a couple of times.

BTW bubu commited some new things today and merged some gits.

From today:

I had to remove device/archos and vendor/archos, else you get a make file conflict while building.

$ sudo rm -r /usr/src/cyan/device/archos
$ rm -r /usr/src/cyan/vendor/archos
$ cd /usr/src/cyan/openaos/scripts
$ sudo git pull
$ cd /usr/src/cyan
$ sudo openaos-setup --applypatches --nosync --target /usr/src/cyan

[Gen8 Android Development] ryadztu:
Hi, is anyone still having problems with the pre-built img causing openAOS to hang? I'm using the latest (July 8) available, my menu.lst looks like this:

Cyanogen||/cyanogen.img|/sbin/init
Debian||/debian.img|/sbin/init
Angstrom||/angstrom.img|/sbin/init

Debian and Angstrom boot properly. (Debian has calibration issues though, the cursor is about 10 pixels too high) Am I doing something wrong? I tried replacing /sbin/init with /init, it just causes openAOS to reboot on all three images.
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
July 8 build working okay here. Sure wish it had video acceleration going properly. Not that tethered bandwidth (on the train so lots of tower switching) is really enough for Netflix. :)
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
But no SDCard :'(
[Gen8 Android Development] sondeu:
try it with |init|0 like this one:

Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0

Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0

0 is for android and 1 for other linux OS, I don't know if this will help - but you can give it a try...
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Yep:)

If you want to learn more about the menu.lst visit my big instructions thread here ;):)
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
sdcard works
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
So can you tell me why it shows that it isn't mounted? And why it doesn't want to? (Or How can i do, if there's something to do)
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
So it works, but noone knows how, and noone can tell me how to do this? So it's a miracle? Let's call the pope!
[Gen8 Android Development] RollerCoasting:
EDIT: According to my basic knowledge of android, I'm guessing that for some reason, my Archos can't boot the gingerbread.img file.

I have a problem. I did everything according to the instructions.

I have the boot menu from OpenAOS

I put the CM7 img on the Archos

I put the menu.lst (the link on the OP)

When I boot into the boot menu, I have 5(!) options.

Archos

Angstrom

Ginger-bread

(Blank space that is clickable)

Gingerbread

If I click either Gingerbread, it just boots me into the normal archos screen.

I'm quite confused.
[Gen8 Android Development] LifTeD_JK:
Will someone try the new skype apk on ginger? I just tried it on my stock 2.2 and it still recognizes it as a back camera and doesn't work.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
You propably did taken the "wrong" menu.lst ..;)

You should write your own menu.lst, you can find many instructions to everything from cyan over the boot menu and urukdroid ;):)
[Gen8 Android Development] RollerCoasting:
Well, when I click on the blank space, it allows me to pick between the .img files on the root of my Archos. When I pick the Openaos-gingerbread, it does the same thing as if I pick the Ginger-bread or Gingerbread options.

Therefore, I think something is wrong with .img file.

My menu.lst file looks the same as the Original Post and for good measure I downloaded the one in the OP, it still doesn't work.
[Gen8 Android Development] ryadztu:
99% certain this doesn't work on A43, using every possible combination of /init, /sbin/init, |0, and |1, using the exact menu.lst and directions in OP, different filename, etc. Debian and Angstrom work perfectly using /sbin/init and leaving out the |# option. It could be because of the special 720p camera (it's still the ****tiest camera I've ever used)

i rotated the 22 pics inside the bootanimation. gimp shows them rotated, the android has head down then, so the inverted bootanimation should be head up

but i doesn't work, the screen stays just black until the homescreen appears.

any ideas?
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
This is because of the touchscreen, they cant calibrate on 43 and the two smaller devices;)

You have to wait unfortunality...

Do you have a completly empty line at the end of your menu.lst?

This is the most maked fault (Read more at my instructions:))

And maybe you doesnt have unix line endings enabled?
[Gen8 Android Development] RollerCoasting:
I downloaded the Menu.lst from the thread. It must be correct.

EDIT: I got it working. I realized that I wasn't running the latest gingerbread release.

So I downloaded that and it works!!! :D

#fail on my part for being stupid.
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
Really noone? 0_o
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
the download version did not automatically recognize the sdcard, at least not for me. i had to change /system/etc/vold.fstab and mount it manually.

the gb 2.3.5 version is not available for download. i compiled the sources with the help of this guide. sdcard mounts automagically, but notification system for inserting/changing sdcard does not work.

hope this answers your question.
[Gen8 Android Development] compyy:
Is There a new release for this ??
[Gen8 Android Development] dtr145r:
if there were you would find it here.

http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
For long time Bubu did not update the Cynanogen for gen8 ??

I suppose he already discontinue this supporting??
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
No, but he is a very busy man and there are currently only 2 people helping him. illifant (gen7) and me (gen8), who also both have limited free time.

If you want to speed things up, get more developers to join us at openaos. :)

New release: Anoa

Anoa – First Gingerbread Release for Gen7 and Gen8, based on CM7

http://www.openaos.org/archives/784

Also read this http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread on how to install Google apps.

Maurice :cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] dtr145r:
was the cm7 gen 8 updated or did you take everything off and re-upload it?

i took notice that the last modified date is the 18th??
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Yes, both gen7 and gen8 are updated. version "anoa" is from 18-aug-2011. For the future if there is a new version release, both gen7 and gen8 are updated at the same time.

Major fixes are:

- browser crash fixed

- temp fix by preventing deep sleep

- easy install of gapps with more apps available

However, all is nicely summed up in the release post from dm8tbr http://www.openaos.org/archives/784

Maurice :cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] dtr145r:
Ok I flashed the new version on my a70 250 HD and I'm getting alot more random reboots than before. Also I'm not seeing any more apps in the market either. Sorry to report bad news ...
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Anoa new Gingerbread Release for Gen8 still could not solve my previous claimed issue: File manager can not display chinese characters (see http://dev.openaos.org/ticket/202 )??

1.It is always bothersome me and let me could not read any Chinese document!!

2.Somebody told me to correct Gingerbread characters coding to unicode (UTF-8 ) but I do not know how to correct it??
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Maybe it is something specific to a70 HD version, bubu doesn't have one neither do I. We need to see debug info like kmsg and logcat the time it crashes.

If someone or you, do have adb and have the a70 HD version, please pastebin the output of kmsg and logcat when it crashes.

For kmsg do the following command in the shell "cat /proc/kmsg"

For linux users, instead of adb you can also use debugging provided by the multiboot menu.

[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Anyone able to get Netflix to work with this latest image? It crashes out on me every time. I can't tell for sure what is causing it, but it may be lack of build.prop entries (doesn't register any version, etc.) That or some DRM something or other. logfile churn is pretty light (very quick crash) Youtube also fails to play videos, throwing a similar error as I get if I try to play YT vids while BT tethered in the stock Archos ROM.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread

Read what is stated about video.

The std Videoplayer ( and the hw acceleration ) isn't working, so.....
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
I've install Anoa in my Archos 70. I found that it is quite stable :) . Before installing, I imagine there will be lots of crash & bang everywhere.

The only things that bugging me is when the headphone is plugged in, the internal speaker still give out sound.

And I found that APK file that downloaded using browser other than the stock browser cannot be installed. It give out parse error. It turns out to be permission issue. After I chmod the APK to 777, it can be installed..
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
I didn't see notes about acceleration not working still though I assumed that... however, this is very different behavior from the previous release where Netflix starts and even let me start playing a video (but stutters horribly and crashes soon after.) I can't even load the sign-in screen or video list.

All fine by me, just was curious if it was something to do with my setup or was a general issue.

C
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Yes, that still needs to be fixed. Only detection of the headphone switch is fixed right now. I am almost sure we can have speakers switching on/off in the next release.

Will look into that. EDIT: Just tried with firefox and created a ticket for it http://dev.openaos.org/ticket/210

[Gen8 Android Development] danielsf:
Hi, I think this is a stupid question, and please call me every name under the sun if it is. But is there anyway to get cm7 to start up on boot, without doing into developer mode? :( Also, how to I update cm7 when an update comes out, I can't seem to find any tutorials on it, and I don't want to screw up? Also, are there sd card bugs in this, as I am unable to see a few folders that are defiantly on my sd card, and can be seen is stock archos firmware. And, is the usb bug that I have seen people talk about, where you can't connect it to your computer. Also, evethough I have aos muti-boot, can I still upgrade stock fermware through the normal ota way. I am really, really sorry about these stupid questions. But if someone could help me, I would be very thankful. Also, I love pressing the "thanks" button. :D Even though I am not a noob, I feel like the stupidest noob ever right now. I am just too used to the simplicity of unrevoked, cwm and odin :(

P.s Sorry about the spelling, also I have searched for these things, (I hate admitting this, but I feel have to, to show that I am not being lazy, as I really dotn want to be kicked of the site, though the "Iron fist" rule) but I am very dyslexic, and I am always missing things when reading for answers, and these questions are they ones I couldn't find the answers for. Again, I am really sorry for the stupid questions. :)

Also, thanks for this rom, eventhough it is in early beta, it feels so much better than stock. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] lilpac1987:
Hey Maurice at first I want to thank you for supporting bubu! I dont know but sometimes the home and back button dont react? But after a minute it works again! Is there someone else who got the same problems??
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
@danielsf: Yes there is a way to boot straight into the multiboot menu. Just remove android in the recovery menu. However then you won't be able to update stock firmware with OTA anymore. There maybe, will be a way in the future, by unpacking the original firmware like it is on gen7. We don't do that for now, because most people use windows and it is a real pain to support it then.

When your removed android from recovery, you can always reinstall it with downloading latest firmware from archos and install it through recovery. That means however your preferences and apps will be gone on the stock firmware. It will be a fresh install.

@lilpac1987: I didn't notice it. We need to have some logcat output or a way to reproduce to investigate.

On a sidenote: The gingerbread image is not a ROM but an IMAGE file.

Maurice :cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] lilpac1987:
Thank you for the answer I thougt I should test it again! If I got problems again I will post it ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
If someone got alot of crashes when using the dolphin browser HD, then it is a known issue. Better to use another browser for now. The fix for it will be in the next release "bull". This can also happen when using other apps that use the webinterface. It is a problem in the javascript engine.

logcat output of the crash will look like http://pastebin.com/DvEspDb2

Installation

Instructions from OP are slightly different from here

http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread

the link says don't mess with menue.lst. which one to follow. i currently have 2.4.19 on internal sd and urukdroid on the external micro sd.

i have a windows machine. pls advise on which one to follow.

Edit Post: Figured it out, only thing now is to figure out how to make it boot default in gingerbread. for now it goes to archos boot.

[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
No, as you don't have the same SoC.

Cortex A8 is only a small percentage of the funktions on the Processor ( SoC)
[Gen8 Android Development] ray1234:
That is the bit that I always don't understand. Even for Urukdroid, I heard people complaining that it doesn't auto-boot into Urukdroid.... but for me, if my last boot is Urukdroid, it will reboot into Urukdroid - and if my last boot is original Android, it will reboot into original Android, there is no need to choose on every reboot! I have 2 systems on the same machine and I have no problem with having to choose it every time, only when I want to choose another system do I reboot with "+" pressed.... isn't this what other people is doing?
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
Same here.

Urukdroid sets a value into the archos boot menu every time it boots up:)

So we dont have to press every the - button;)

[Gen8 Android Development] marcusmarcus:
I'm sure it's not dead. The last release was August 18th, 2011. Remember that there are only a hand full of developers working on this on their own time. It's possible that it could be a few months between releases.

Is there no way to get nightlys of the CM7 rom? Im sure everyone would love to test and help with problems and figure it out together?
[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
+1 on that.

wouldn't hurt I guess :)
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Just one man working on gen7 port (illifant) and one man working on gen8 port (me) then releasing nightlys is time consuming. If there are more devs working on a port it would be another story, but for now if the code I am changing for example for DSP right now doesn't work for me it wouldn't work for you. If there is however progress and I need some testing done I know your nicks, but notice that you atleast need to have adb installed to give me debug output.

Thanks for offering your help, but really we are looking for more devs to work on the port. It would speed up things alot.

PS : another problem for the sound, with headset on it, the sound come from headset AND speakers (and it's too loud for the headset (i think it gives the same power than the speakers to the headphone=
