init.rc is:

# mount partitions
mount rawfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/rawfs
# mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/system noatime nosuid noexec
mount ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid

chown system system /mnt/rawfs/params

Is that correct?

Another question: archos.inc file is copied to the root of the partition where the init.rc, or edit the file and copy init.rc inside?

Sorry if I ask too much :)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
These lines are correct..

You have to copy the archos.inc to root, and the init.rc too;):)

In a community people help eachother;)

I will upload my init.rc today;)wait..
[Gen8 General] maikelbus:
I've discovered the problem :).

2.6.29-omap1 folder is in the first post is not correct, at least for my tablet.

The good is in h**p://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/, downloaded it several days ago and until today had not occurred to me to look if it was the same as the tutorial, it was assumed.

So you have to do is download the file modules-2.6.29-omap1.tar.bz2, unzip it and replace it with what we have in the partition of the route Urukdroid lib \ modules and go.:)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
hm... thanks for report...:)

All other user report that my file works...:D

What kind of device you have?;):)
[Gen8 General] maikelbus:
Hello, the joy lasted just me, Urukdroid has crashed and no longer starts :mad:, I reinstalled and it has become hung up, I think the fault lies with the wifi, if I connect the tablet to wifi router, it works perfectly, Any solution? :confused:

My tablet is a Archos 70 it

Greetings. :)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Sorry that i dont response you so fast..;)

Wait.. i dont understand you right, did urukdroid work, but the wifi isnt?

My english isnt so good,.. yet:D:)
[Gen8 General] maikelbus:
Sorry, my English is very basic, I use Google Traslator to understand and write here, so the translation may not be very good. :o Keep me the secret :rolleyes:

Urukdroid stops working when I use wifi, I've installed 4 times, and if I do not use wifi, everything works ok, but if I try to connect to the internet, it locks the tablet, and does not return to work :(. How well it works for you? :confused:
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
H.

Hm... everything works just fine for me..

Maybe you dont copied the modules directory right (wpa_supllicant or something..)

Please check this and try it with "safely remove" when you modify the urukdroid partition on linux;)
[Gen8 General] ponf:
Hola!

I've got a little newbie question :)

Is it OK, that I see openAOS boot menu only when I use "Developer Edition" in stock boot menu? How can I make it workable in a normal boot?

When I don't choose developer edition tablet loades a stock firmware. May be it's a good idea to remove it at all?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
At this moment we cant do this, we need to set a boot preferenc at every time the sde startet to avoid the archos android to boot automatically. Sauron did this for urukdroid;)

Nope its a bad idea, because the menu needs some of the kernel parts from Archos Android to work;)

Tip:

If you use urukdroid on the boot menu, you wont have to choose the sde to boot every time:);)
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
I install UrukDroid with Bootmenu.

My Screen is rotate 180, but the touch is normal.

What could be the reason?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
That you didn't read that this is normal atm.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
At cyanogen this is true..

Urukdroid not^^ ait works perfectly;)

You may havent add the flip.sh right, please check;):)
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
I copied the flip.sh to ..\system\bin and the modified init.rc to the system root

The first time after reboot the screen is correct, but when I rotated the screen then it's 180 degrees rotated and the worst think is that the touch is responding 180 rotated. This mean that left under is with touch upper right.

I installed this 3 times and all was the same behavior.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Maybe my flip.sh is wrong...

could you please post your flip.sh and your init.rc ?:)

(Just the important parts:D)
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
Attached are the files, those are downloaded from the 5e post.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
No:D Please post your lines at the files, maybe something is wrong there...
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
I didn't modified the files.

Currently I am back to only UrukDroid, without Bootmenu, and haven't those files available.

I want to have a working device because I am going on vacation tomorrow for 2 weeks.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You could try to install it manually, without my files, may these are wrong....

Make the Blue part of the instructions;)
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
I will try it manually after my vacation.

I will let you know if that is working or not.

Thanks for the quick support.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You're welcome, we are a community:);)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Update:

I added instructions how to install the GApps on Cyan :);)

Thanks goes to alaskapardus for this!
[Gen8 General] sondeu:
First I wanted to say Thanks for the tutorial. But now I have to say WTF have you done with my UrukDroid Installation? Everything is upside down in Uruk (not CM). The system cannot be used anymore... if i click on the top left button, the screen recognizes this as buttom right.... :eek:

Is it something with the flip.sh? What is MY mistake?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
This is a known bug, its the Screem bug..

It should be fixed with the flip.sh you added...?

Do you have the 101 or the 70 ? If you have the 70 you dont have to add this script (flip.sh) just the 101 users have to, but i think i wrote this in the instructions...;):)

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] sondeu:
you did ;) I copied the flip.sh from my netbook with ubuntu... to my 101. Now I compared file permissions and they were different to all other files in /system/bin so I changed permissons according to the other files -> rebooted -> works :D I'm not sure if I did something wrong or... ?

Thanks a lot for your how-to. Great to have triple-boot and the possibility to play around with CM (already using it on my smartphone).
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey, if it works its okey:D:)

Yep, this is exactly why i created this thread:);)
[Gen8 General] waterpolo:
Last week I had the same with flip.sh. This could also fix my problem.

I will check this later.
[Gen8 General] sondeu:
just change the file permission to 100777 and it should work! Good luck!
[Gen8 General] aaronmy:
will there be support for a32, a28
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
This is because the touchscreens cant calibrate...

Im not the developer of this,

Please ask on the IRC of openaos

You can find it on openaos.org under "chat";)
[Gen8 General] rexdog1888:
This link is no longer valid, can you please upload a new one, i have a nonworking archos until someone does.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey, i'll do but at the moment i lm not at home...

I'll do it this evening i suppose:);)
[Gen8 General] rexdog1888:
Im sorry to keep bugging you... but just in case you forgot could you upload it please
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Sorry but i have to search it... on xda

Mstichinja linked the files for me and teach me how to do it

I have to search it here on xda but the search is disabled at the moment..

Im very sorry but we have to wait
[Gen8 General] rexdog1888:

[Gen8 General] gardar:
You know you can use google to search on xda

Just enter site:xdaforums.com and your search phrase in google and voila!

[Gen8 General] Lenn:

But it dont worked:)

This was in a boot menu thread where we figured out how to boot urukdroid with it;)

[Gen8 General] Richpopski123:
This might be the best laid out thread I have ever read!

But i'm having problems installing Gapps! I have CM installed, I followed directions, you say reboot with root explorer but i don't see that option anywhere, so I rebooted by holding power button. When it restarted I see all of the apps in the /system/app but I never get the setup option... :/ Any help? or ideas? Or is there another way to install gapps?

Thanks Lenn! As always you do great work for us.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Sorry the reboot with the root explorer was a fault by me:D i edited the post..

Normally it reboots and show a startup wizard... or the apps installs without the wizard, on this case you have to start the new market application and sign in there with your google account.

also check if you have copied the apks in right directory;)

Greets

Lenn

PS If you think so good about this thread, you can hit thanks, for helping me:)
[Gen8 General] Richpopski123:
I did hit thanks!

I found the original post for installing. I downloaded the gapps file to my computer, sent it in an email to my stock rooted archos, extracted the Apps, then rebooted into CM and did as you posted. This was the only way I could get it to work! Thanks again!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Ah.. okey:)

Off-Topic : I plan to create a tutorial to a honeycomb ui interface for archos gen8;)

I think i'll do it in less than a week:-) stay tuned.

Greets,

Lenn
[Gen8 General] Richpopski123:
You ever have problems with the Market force closing? Everytime it updates to the new market it just crashes. I looked for a way to disable it from updating but failed!

Totally waiting for that HC interface!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Nope i never had problems with that...

You can try to recopy the vending.apk (new version) to system/app ad overwrite the old one.. than restart, that should work

Otherwise you can try to just install the 3.0.26 apk of the market (new version);)

I also cant wait until i get this on my 101:)

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] Richpopski123:
Just an update! I think it wasn't working because when I unzipped the gapps they didn't have the correct permissions.

I also installed the newest Vending.apk with not success. I ended up just renaming marketupdater.apk to marketupdater.apk.bak. So far it seems to be working!
[Gen8 General] divx118:
@Lenn

The guide for installing Gingerbread is really outdated. You better point to http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread which will have the latest instructions and links for installing it.

The instructions will probably change again in the future, because of a new unified bootmenu version for gen7 and gen8 devices.

When we release a new version, I will update the wiki pages before the release.

The instructions for installing Gapps is also there and will get you more apps available then the newer market installs.

BTW newest release will be available at http://download.openaos.org/release/

Maurice :cool:
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I know, but i have another project running at the moment

When this is made i'll do a update on the tutorial:-)

So question will the instructions for getting UD to boot with OpenAOS still valid with UD 1.5.1? Haven't had much luck getting Debian Linux to boot and work with the built-in boot menu in UD so thought i'd go back and try this again.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I dont test it, still being on 1.0 and Cyan;)

But $aur0n said that it propably doesnt gonna work..:(

when i have enough time, i will look for a way to get it working:) will report back.

[Gen8 General] p_mike83:
first thanks for the instruktions. i own an archos 101, and followed the 1st post.

everything works fine except the multitouch screen. after wiping/ reiinstalling everything i have the same problem.

i also tried und installed urukdroid 1.5, but i have always the multitouch screen problem. though everything else works.

does anyone know how to fiix the multitouch problem? reiinstalling didnt work for me. what files are responsible for this?

thanks again.:D
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
What isn't working that you think you don't have multitouch?
[Gen8 General] p_mike83:
multitouch! for example zooming in/out when mooving the two fingers away / to each other. i have already checked it ith the app multitouch.i have only one touch.

on the other site,in stock rom, in Gingerbread and in urukdroid without the openaos multiboot works just fine.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Ah, so you wan't to use UD with OpenAOS?

And you have copied the Omap files?

Otherwise use KBoot for the multiboot, that really works to boot UD or CM7
[Gen8 General] p_mike83:
yes i copied the omap files

i would like to have the opportunity to choose between stock rom, Gingerbread CM7 und Urukdroid.

i want to try the kboot also.

thanks!
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
KBoot is way better for that, as you don't have to change anything.
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Hi Guys,

I am on 351 on my Streak. well i have heard a lot more about 354...actually everyone talks about 354 better battery life blah blah:)

i did google but didnt find any difference properly mentiond

I wondering what actually is difference between 351 and 354 (other than honkong and europe)

thanks in advance for your help.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

what is the best launcher to use other than launcher pro(i have unlocked already ) kinda bored . now on HE launcher.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Seriously?

you have pm twice asking about the differences between the two. I am sure a few other dozen people have mentioned the slight differences as well.

I am not sure what your looking for or what you don't get. What is it that you are expecting to find about the two different builds?

NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THIS THREAD HAS ZERO TO DO WITH DEVELOPMENT AND WILL BE MOVED, OR HOPEFULLY DELETED SHORTLY.
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
To the OP

Stop asking things which u can try urself, flash 354 and see the difference.... as krad said it got nothing to do with development and soon it will be deleted...

Sent from my Dell Streak while away from alienware
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
what i found from other people asking is only that hongkong, data fast, battery life etc.....

i wana know is will it effect my data speed & signal etc.......or is it worthe changing to 354 from 351. if m in India

----------------

Ok, i am gonna try .............:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathonrobinson:
Guy's,

I have upgraded to 5.2 and setup my hotmail account through the exchange active sync with push mail.

When an e-mail is received and I delete it from my phone it deletes then a minute later my phone goes off alerting me to a new e-mail only to find its the same e-mail back in my inbox again...any ideas?

This was happening on 5.1.11 too but not on rom's before this...help its driving me mad!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbinator91:
It's a bug with the sense email app. It has something to do with the ssl certificates hotmail uses, and the sense email app not accepting them. Basically, if you use an AOSP rom, you'll notice that there's a checkbox for "Accept all SSL certificates" when you're setting up an exchange account. On a sense based rom, it doesn't have that. I was hoping the new base would've fixed it, but they still haven't fixed the problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathonrobinson:
Thanks for the info...thats interesting as in version 5.1.11 it worked a treat...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbinator91:
That's even more interesting because I haven't been able to get it to work properly on any sense rom, including the stock rom on my Inspire.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathonrobinson:
Whoops, sorry totally got the wrong version in my last post there! It was the version before 5.1.11...it was beta 4 (sorry not sure on version number)...however it did have sense and it worked a treat...

Hmm I have even tried version 5.2 and flashed the no sense script but still an issue....

Don't suppose there are any rom's out there with it working? I would go back to the B4 version however it was very laggy :-(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathonrobinson:
I have finally found a working solution to get the exchange active sync working!!

I have downloaded the android mail client that was released in 2.2. Setup my hotmail account and I now have true two way syncing with push mail!!

Drop me a pm with your e-mail address and I will send over the apk...alternatively I found it from google :-)

Please help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
This is because you guys are in 3e Recovery. A new Recovery Mod where it only allow Signed Zip files.

Get back 2e Recovery. There are a lot of ways to do this. Search around the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perfumedponce:
Okay This is what I found.....

Flashing Recovery via the Rom manager app brings up 3E recovery. using the 3-button method brings up the 2E recovery that is part of my speedmod kernel......

Hope this helps other noobs like me having the same trouble.

I'm getting the same problem... any chance you could post how you solved it?

Nothing much just to say thanks by a meter way.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
what rom are you using and why?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
I am using, B137 custom rom by Fibblesan from modaco.

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/

Reason.

Works flawlessly, can do normal calls,browsing the network, flash works perfectly and no shuttering lastly battery life is great, holds quite long. I would also point out that when questions are asked most help when they can @modaco.

I would say hearing opinion is a small reason to try a rom, biggest would be to experience the rom then see if its really good.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Can I ask what you mean by "no shuttering lastly battery life is great, holds quite long" ? How many hours/days? And what sort of usage?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
With 3g, wifi on and light web browsing I get around 11 hours of usage until next charge. If I do not play around for such long time it can hold for 3 days in sleep doing nothing. But if I do normal activity, which involves, music,web,3g,sms and some calls + games. I will have 20 % left from 08:00 to 23:00 and thats no problem 20% is fine enough for a night sleep, and charge in the morning !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so is like my galaxy ace, form 08:00 to 23:00, i use 70% of the battery, with the sincro on all the time, using my emal like sms, it means that i send a lot during all day, wifi turn on during 8 hours and some games and web.

i still dont have the x5 but iam waitting for it, but i thought that the battery could be longer
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Why would it be longer?

First thing you need to understand, the concept of why smartphone battery sucks. They don't evolve as fast as the smartphones itself. No one seems to wish add more power into their small batteries for the smartphones, thus making it look stupid.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok i understand and i know, but the software could improve the battery life in some way
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Yeah, software can only make sure a certain amount won't go to waste, for example stopping useless workload.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
I don't mean to upset anybody, but I think that battery consumption is 80% related to the hardware and the rest to software. I used to have Wifi, bluetooth, 2 e-mail accounts with push on non stop, on my old Iphone 3G and battery used to hold for at least 2 days. Now, because this battery is 3 years newer, wouldn't you think that there should be improvements? The fact that you get 3 days out of this phone's battery, makes me think that you're lucky...I never got more than 2 days, with all sorts of ROMs, including FLB.

The rule "what you pay is what you get" reflects the reality here, quality hardware makes the difference, simple as that. I like the U8800, but to be able to get more life out of the battery, the quality of hardware needs big improvements.

As an example, the bluetooth on the Iphone use to work in the proximity of my car, but with the U8800 it disconnects while I'm in the car...:( not to mention the wifi, that's flaky as...I'm not bagging the U8800, for $300 brand new, it's definitely worth buying, but if you want a bit more quality, pay the difference and get the Desire or something. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tiagovale2:
First: No one who needs 3+ day battery should buy a smartphone! If you want a super battery, go to a dumbphone with a xpto 8+ days battery. I my opinion, a smartphone with a 24h battery (wifi on, 3G on, network data on, good brightness, some gps, etc) is the perfect deal. I couldn't 100% test the battery duration of the Huawei because it's still network locked, so I've done any calls and any sms/mms, but with wifi on, auto-sync, FB sync, tweetdeck sync, google account sync, some internet browsing, lots of social network browsing and good brightness, there's now 25h uptime and 32% remaing. Is this bad? I don't think so...

Second: Go ahead, compare a 500€ iPhone to a 150€ Huawei ;)

BTW: It's network locked but I'm using the original SIM and it's working properly. I've done any calls or sms but it's not in flight mode, it's completely operational... Except for the fact that I aint no friends using TMN ahah SO, the battery duration isn't much affected by this fact.
