What exactly do you mean?

Like switching between custom and stock?

That'd be for hold voldown while the archos bootscreen shows up and selecting SDE or Android.

And the SDE entry will launch whatever you put there through the SDE recovery Menu

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
No, he mean booting on it not by going in the recovery menu, just on pushing the "ON" button.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yep, this will be helpful, when i have urukdroid on my boot menu, because then my normal use will be uruk, until cyanogen is ready for saily use..:)

Any hints on that?;)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
I don't really know, but doesn't it remember your last choice?

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
@Lenn : do you have found where $auron show how to boot Debian with it's UrukDroid boot menu?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Unfortunality not:(

I think we have to ask sauron about this, he have to know it, he did it at urukdroid.

I surely dont want to hold down the volume down button each time...:(:D
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I know this,yes, but why?:)

I know the urukdroid boot menu, but i think the openaos is better:)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Setting up the uruk one is more complicated,too. But i think i'll look into it. Could you post a link to where he described it, because im not exactly in the mood tho search the xda forums for one post using tapatalk

And for the auto-boot matte, gess we have to ask $auron or check his boot stage

Greetings

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I will ask him;)

Bye:)
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
@Lenn : because we could use it to boot both Uruk and CM7. 'cause if you want to boot Uruk i think you'll need to flash the Uruk Kernel, so i want to boot CM7 with the Uruk Kernel ^^
[Gen8 General] cardefbel:
The kernels or initramfs for UrukDroid or Openaos are incompatible. When changing the initramfs from UrukDroid for booting CM7 with UrukDroid the touch screen is reversed. When booting UrukDroid from Openaos it stops half way and you have to reset your device. Tested this on my 101
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
But i've heard that Bubu (THE men from the CM7 build) and sibere (the men who build the UrukDroid kernel) are working together, so maybe in no time we'll se a kernel wich can boot the 2 ^^
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Sibere's not technically the one developing the uruk kernel. He's developing a kernel that's compatible with Uruk. ;) Anyways, I hope they get something working too, because the Debian and Ubuntu images don't work correctly with Uruk's kernel either.
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
$auron said it can work with it's kernel, you just need to add all the modules from Uruk to Debian/Ubuntu
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Yeah, i was still having trouble with the touchscreen and the display rotation though, trouble that doesn't exist with the angstrom kernel. Not saying he should make it work or anything, just that it hasn't been quite so simple as just copying the modules for me. I fixed the rotation with an X11 config line, but that breaks another part of X11 that helps calibrate the touchscreen. I think I'm getting closer though. ;)
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
If you can do it it would be really cool! :D
[Gen8 General] _BuBU:
Hi

The problem is that urukdroid is using an old SGX DDK and I'm using an updated version (which also works with archos latest firmware)...

But I've added initial support into my latest multiboot stuff which is available now...

but you need to do the following:

get http://gitorious.org/openaos-cyanogenmod/vendor_archos_gen8/blobs/raw/master/archos.inc and copy at root of your urukdroid, and get latest modules.tar.bz2 which are at same place as initramfs/zImage on my download space, and extract to lib/modules onto your urukdroid... (you may have to rename old 2.6.29-omap1 dir)

Note that this may break your urukdroid if u don't want to use my multiboot stuff... so do it at your own risks...

There is also probably things in urukdroid which can not work... (ie: compcache as I already activated compcache with 40MB in my multiboot stuff... that way any OS can use this without any changes)... for timebeing this feature can't be disabled... if there are too many issues I will provide a way to disable it or not...

Beside this I still needs contributors, patches, or whatever should make cyanogenmod port better...

Thx

Edit1: you can use new urukdroid.img u create from scratch (untaring urukdroid tarbals) or an ext4 partition

Edit2: you may have to disable huge_file on your ext4 partition/file using tune2fs -O ^huge_file yourfile.img or /dev/yourpartition
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
Guy, you just rock! I'll try this tonight! Thanks for everything!
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Got Uruk running on the openAOS menu! Very sweet... I'm running from mmcblk1p2, and I added a line in the Urukdroid rootfs /init to mount my data partition from mmcblk1p3. Not technically sure if it was necessary, but I know $auron mounts the /data partition in the initramfs, not the init, so I figured I'd need it.

Unfortunately, the display is upside down, which is made even worse by the fact that the touch screen isn't upside down. I know the A101 has an upside down screen, but where's the setting to fix this? It seems to be the only problem so far(can't really test anything else without a screen fix ;)).

EDIT: I got the display reversed by setting ro.board.display_portrait to "1", but the touchscreen is still reversed.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Hey ninja:)

Wow, cool;) Could you please describe it detailed for me?:)

Would love to get UD running on the Boot-Menu:)

Screen:

Do you have the lastest Boot Menu with Accelerometer?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Once I figure out the rest of the issues.

Does anyone know which module is for the touchscreen? I figured I'd try reverting to the one from Uruk, but I can't figure out which one is it, or if it's in the kernel...
[Gen8 General] cardefbel:
Damned, would try this also. Please give your setting.

Try following (can't test if it has to be Y or N)

echo N >/sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180

echo N >/sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Very nice work! The first line fixes the touchscreen. Once I reset display_portrait to "3", the second line fixes the display(otherwise the display is fixed already, but I like your method better).

Now if I could just get it to exec that at boot time....

Duh, forgot to chmod +x the script. Working at boot now. I think I might try unpacking the initramfs and adding the display line. I think it might make the openAOS boot menu flip the right way round. Maybe not though ;)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Okay, quick instruction tutorial for the A101it. Flash the latest init/zimage from bubu's server, then follow his instructions I quoted above to copy his modules to your uruk partition. I connected to my pc in the Recovery Menu to do this. Additionally, edit the init.rc on your Uruk partition. Search for the line that has "mount blah blah blah /data" and uncomment it, then change the "blah blah" to your uruk data partition. I'm running from internal storage, so it's /dev/mmcblk1p3. If you're on the SDcard, that's /dev/mmcblk2p3. Then add a line at the top, above the commented "Display Boot Logo" line:

exec /system/bin/flip.sh

Now make a new file in /system/bin/ called flip.sh, make it executable with "chmod +x flip.sh" and add the following lines inside the file:

echo N >/sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180
echo N >/sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180

Edit the menu.lst on the sdcard and add the following line:

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0

(Change mmcblk1p2 to mmcblk2p2 if you are using the SDcard for Uruk)

Now just choose UrukDroid from the boot menu, and everything should be working. I still have frequent soft-reboots, but that's part of the Stock firmware and Uruk's firmware, so it's unrelated. I should probably switch back to 1.0b3 at some point. ;)
[Gen8 General] cardefbel:
Thanks for sharing: you can also write this in init.rc so you don't have to run the exec

# Touch Screen fix
write /sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180 N
write /sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180 N

:p
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Hey guys:)

thanks for you great work!;)

But: How does i connect my Archos to my (Windows!) Pc, and show the whole "root" files and directorys on my PC?:)

i would love to finally get urukdroid on the boot menu:)

Greets,

Lenn
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
You need Linux, sorry. You should pirate VMware and install Ubuntu on it.

If you're running Uruk, it means your uruk partitions are on the internal storage or the sdcard. If it's on internal, boot into the Archos recovery menu and go to Repair->Start USB MSC, and connect to a Linux or Linux VMware. The partitions will show up in Linux. If it's on the SDcard, use an SDcard reader and connect to a Linux PC/VM as before.

You can also untar the files from $auron's server and do the changes, but you still need Linux.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
I know, but I like to keep things in external scripts. Easier to make changes to a little script than to scroll through the entire init.rc. :) Thanks again for finding those commands.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey,

i have an ubuntu 11.04 vmware already:)

The problem is that my brother also owns my pc, and our hdd is too small to make a dual boot windows/ubuntu :(

Okey firet thanks for the tips;)

I'll try it now:)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
msticninja, i love you:D

It was a lot of hard work for me (none knowledge about linux, hage to learn:)), but now i got urukdroid back!:):)

thank you so much for your work:);)

I want the stock fw,urukdroid and cyan together because i want to watch 720p AC3 movies from a hdd with the "missing" cinema plugin need on fw 2.3.26:)

Because i want to help you and say thanks,

I could make a detailed how-to;)

I think if i get trouble get urukdroid running, neewbies really cant do it:)

So what do you think?:)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
It's probably a good idea. I'm bad with the details, because some parts are easier for me than for other people, and I don't know which parts. :D
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I think the most neewbies, getting scared when they have to use terminal or cmd(windows:D)

And many would give up after they seen that you dont have "normal-explorer" access at the files on your uruk partition;) so they have to do it over terminal...

many dont know the cmds you need (cd,dir,sudo,cp,rm, and such):D

i get stucked by copying the modules folder, i dont know that you have to add the para -r:)

Anyway, i think i wrote something tomorrow morning:);)

i'll report you:)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
You should be able to use the file explorer(nautilus) in linux to do that stuff, but you have to open it as root. Another thing I forgot people don't normally know. :)

Open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus"

It will open a file manager window as root, so you can copy/delete files on the uruk partition.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Aaah, thanks:) now i know more:):D

i searched a right klick root option, like at windows:D

Thanks:)

I think i'll create a own thread about this with a structure:)

you'll see:);)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
So, i'm back

First: the touchscreen fix IS included in the openaos initramfs, BUT it is disabled by a shell var inside the init script by default i could get you one where that var is set, if you want. Just ask for it.

Second: yes you need any linux distro, windows WONT WORK AT ALL and nobody cares about supporting it because it would be a pain and windows sucks anyway

Third: anyone any experience using kexec? I'd like to put some initramfs-stage kexec booloader together so we can finally boot into various kernels. As far as i can tell, the openAOS kernel is compiked without kexec syscall support, but i'm not sure, anyone who knows?

Greetings oro

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Hop on the openAOS irc chat. BuBU's there alot, he can answer.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
P.S. There is already a touchscreen fix posted here for Uruk. Did you have a different one?
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
First: i mean the rotate180 fix is included in bubus initramfs but its disabled there is a shell var like ts_rotate=0. But maybe they might conflict so it is rotated once by bubus and once agan by uruk? That wold make 360 again...

Second: i was there friday evening but bubu wasnt ill try it again some other time

Greetings oro

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Sorry, I misspoke a bit. It was actually the accelerometer and touchscreen that needed to be flipped, not the actually display output. Not sure if Uruk flips the screen again, but setting rotate180 to N for the touchscreen and accelerometer works well for me.

Now if I could just get the framebuffer in debian to flip. the fbdev driver flips fine with Option "Rotate" but I can't get the omapfb driver to flip without breaking the framebuffer.

I don't wait for BuBU to be there, I just post and wait for him to review... :)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Yeah sure but you cant wait till eternity^^

And dont know about he omapfb driver...

Well maybe one of the other devs (bubu,sauron,...) knows.

Or maybe google does ;)

Greetings oro

Ps atm not workibg on this because of 'other projects' ;)

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
I've seen him most days at 10:00AM-11:00AM GMT. (Which is 4AM for me:))

The omapfb issue is not solvable it seems. Even if you get it rotated, the display has ghosting....
[Gen8 General] kilroo:
I'm interested in this. I'm not entirely sure I follow what you mean and what's said on the subject afterward, but if I understand correctly that the bootmenu can be modified in a simple way such that the bootmenu itself and linuxes launched from it won't be upside down on the 101, I'd like to obtain such a thing. If it turns out to conflict or result in a double-flip for some OSes, I can either try making them flip back or go back to the unmodified version, right?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Disclaimer: This is just my experience, and some others. There may be better solutions, but these solutions are fairly easy, and effective.

(Doing a permanent display flip in kernel would require using vfrb rotation through omapfb, which is bugged at the moment, so you have to do it from each respective OS.)

For android OSes, you can flip the touchscreen input and the accelerometer input. This effectively flips the screen.

In Linux/Debian, you can flip the touchscreen input in the same manner as android:

echo N >/sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180

but so far my only luck with flipping the display output is by switching the display driver in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf from "omapfb" to "fbdev" and adding

Option "Rotate" "UD"

(or "180" or "2" depending on Xorg version, etc.).
[Gen8 General] franjocc:
Where is exactly the rootfs.img archive, in the directory structure of the Urukdroid?

I tried booting with multiboot, the urukdroid, and I did not succeed.

So my question, where exactly is that file, can not find it anywhere.

I have installed Urukdroid in the internal storage.

This is my menu.lst

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0

Or this other line

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/init|0

Thanks.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Your menu.lst line is correct;):)

Have you do the install according to my instructions?;)

(http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=15573139)

Please describe your installation process:)
[Gen8 General] mao_:
holla.

i'm read all posts, but i don't could not boot uruk.

i'm try change menu.lst, but i see only openaos splash screen and uruk don't boot :mad:

i'm try to install UD and boot menu a few days ago. and it's work. but don't work multitouch in uruk(i write about this;)), and I decided to try full wipe, and install only sde and uruk. it's work but I want to be able to boot multiple systems:confused:

please show me how to look your menu.lst

i'm sorry for my english :D
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
My menu.lst:

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0
Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1

My tip: Wipe and just reinstall the hole sysfem according to my instructions:)

No problem:D

I also dont speak english very well^^:)
[Gen8 General] mao_:
thanks. i have all the same way, but after boot menu i see only black screen :(

i do it! but this don't help
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Hmm... strange^^

How do you wipe your archos?

You should it with "Format Device" at boot menu from archos;)

then install sde,original archos firmware,urukdroid and boot menu:)
[Gen8 General] mao_:
yep

yes. i do everything that exept archos firmware (it's important?)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
YeP:):D It is important;)

The openAOS boot menu needs the original archos firmware.

Try it once again:)
[Gen8 General] mao_:
ok. i try it tomorrow
[Gen8 General] Unmensch:
The latest update of the firmware has introduced some kernel changes. The OpenAOS bootmenu is made for this new kernel, the old one won't work and will cause boot loops.
[Gen8 General] mao_:
i'm reinstall all (sde, stock fw, uruk and openaos)

and try to boot uruk: first i see openAOS logo and white line bottom with black text (like uruk boot)

then i see only black screen
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Actually everything is wright:) of course except the last point...

Hm..

Do you have edited the init.rc correctly?;)

Do you use Urukdroid 1.0?
[Gen8 General] mao_:
UPD: блджад! i can boot uruk, but multitouch still dom't work!

what i do: copy archos.inc and edit init.rc (uncoment mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk2p3 /data noatime nosuid)
[Gen8 General] mao_:
no. it's my fault

yep 1.0
[Gen8 General] tobassam:
Just a quick summary as I have noticed a few errors, and also I have succeeded in performing this without using a Linux distro as follows:

Update your Archos (my 101 is running 2.4.19)

Install SDE from Archos as per the instructions on their site

Install Urukdroid (I've succeeded with the latest v1.5 running from internal memory) as per instructions on the wiki

Install openAOS Bootmenu as per the instructions on their site wiki

On your Windows PC, download, install, and configure Ext2FSD (google it)

Boot into your Archos Boot Menu and choose "Recovery" then "Repair System" then "Start USB MSC" and connect your Archos to your PC with the USB cable.

Using the previously installed Ext2 Manager software, make sure to run the service, configure drive-letters for the ext partitions, then make them writable.

In the partition with "lib/modules"sub-directory, rename the "2.6.29-omap1" folder to something else and create a new one with the same name.

Download the "modules-2.6.29-omap1.tar.bz2" file from the openAOS site.

Unzip the previous archive and copy the contents of its "2.6.29-omap1" directory to the directory you just created with the same name in the ext partition with the exception of the two symbolic links "source" and "build".

Unzip the file within the attached archos.zip to the root of the previous ext partition.

On your Windows PC, install Notepad++ (google it)

Using Notepad++ edit the init.rc file at the root of the previous ext partition adding the following lines before the label "# Logo - first time" near the beginning of the file:

# Touch Screen fix write /sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180 N write /sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180 N

Also add the following line to init.rc under the label "# mount partitions" (you need to change this if you're not running Urukdroid from internal memory like me):

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid

Save all changes to the init.rc file.

Using Notepad++, edit the menu.lst file on the internal memory and add the following line in the beginning (specific to running Uruk from internal memory - as I am - and not from an external sdcard):

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0

Save all changes to the menu.lst file.

Reboot into Developer Edition using the Archos Boot Menu and you should now see a working Urukdroid entry in the OpenAOS BootMenu.

It's a very good and stable system and I highly appreciate everyone's efforts and contributions. So a big thanks to everyone here and most especially Bubu for the excellent work. Thank you.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
This is a request to the devs out there.

I just wondered if anyone was able to get into the 4G / Wimax settings on the phone ?

I'm interested to know if there is an ability to increase the length of the 4G 'idle' timeout.

The debug menu (*#*#33284#*#*) seems to have all WIMAX settings locked down, and I windered if there was a way to look at these via adb ?

I've heard that you can increase it to a max of 300 minutes ?

Something like this for the Evo ?

Not the same as the evo. Idle is a feature. When internet isnt in demand, it idles. The time has nothing to do with idle.

[Nexus S General] grifforama:
This feature is f**king my internet connection up. It basically disconnects, and won't reconnect on incoming push notifications. I've had this confirmed by Sprint, but posts to the contrary on other threads make me think something odd is going on.

I'm losing the will with this idle feature.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
What Rom and kernel are you using? I do know some kernels force a file called wimax_service.dex in /cache. My pushes seem to work fine. 4g turns back to reception bars when needed.

[Nexus S General] shiftr182:
Im running MIUI so I dont have 4g, but I also have an epic, and the wimax settings can be changed on it also. You have to access the data menu with wimax on, on the nexus it would be *#*#3282#*#*, then "edit", enter you msl, then go to wimax or whatever it is. As I said, Im on MIUI, so I dont know if this is even possible with the nexus. This is what I have my epic at:

hard finding people to talk about this wimax editing stuff. ive also noticed.. at least on my phone.. when running the commands to "backup wimax.img" that my image has NO unique data in it.. its just filler space, FFFFFFFF over and over. is this the case for everyone else?
