[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] che44:
Hello,

is someone can explain me if its possible to use Wpdevice manager with xp , i want to use png icons fot my phone but impossible to install. Is an other way ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] :
che44,

AFAIK, you cannot use WP Device Manager directly on the WinXP OS. One option to run WP Device Manager would be to use a virtual machine as follows:

01. Install any virtualization software like VMWare, VirtualBox etc. on your WinXP.

02. Install Windows 7 as a guest operating system in the virtualization software.

03. Install all the necessary software like Zune, phone drivers etc. in Win7.

04. Enable USB ports in virtualization software so that your phone is detected in the guest Win7 OS when connected via USB.

05. Install WP Device Manager in Win7 and use it to manage your device.

If you are unfamiliar with using virtual machines, you could read up on it at http://lifehacker.com/5204434/the-beginners-guide-to-creating-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox

Install the SDE

Install the SDE

The SDE is a "Special Developer Edition"(=SDE) - Firmware, from Archos, usually only for Developers.

It cames with the Angstrôm Linux-Distribution.

You can use the normal Archos Android, if you have the SDE installed.

Warning, you will loose your Warranty by installing this firmware!

Your device will be watermarked after installation, so Archos can detect that you have installed the SDE!

Installing the SDE:

1) Shut down your Archos.

2) Boot your Archos by holding down the Volume Up ( + ) Button.

3) You will get to the Recovery Menu. You can navigate with the Volume Buttons and the Power Button.

4) Choose "Update Firmware" and connect your Archos with your PC (USB).

5) Download the SDE Firmware here: http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/_ppp.html?country=de&lang=de&p=gen8

6) Copy the firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos file to your Archos and press the Power Button once.

7) Your Archos now install the SDE Firmware.

8) When you Boot up, your Archos will normally Boot the normal Archos Android, but if you hold down the Volume Down ( - ) Button during Boot Up, you will see the "Boot Menu". (This isnt the openAOS Boot Menu!)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Install Boot Menu

The openAOS Boot Menu, developed from Bubu, allows you to Boot multible OS (f.e. Archos Android,Linux,Cyanogen,Urukdroid,etc...)

Install the Boot Menu:

1) Shut down your Archos.

2) Boot into the SDE Boot Menu by holding down the Volume Down ( - ) Button.

3) Choose "Recovery System" >> "Developer Edition Menu" >> "Flashing zImage and Initramfs".

4) Connect your Archos with your PC (USB).

5) Download the lastest openAOS Boot Menu files (zImage & initramfs.cgio.gz) from here: http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/

6) Copy these two files to your Archos and press the Power Button once.

7) Your Archos now flashes the Boot Menu`s zImage and initramfs.

8) From now on, when you Boot Up your Archos, the openAOS Boot Menu, will showed you can navigate trough the Menu with the Volume Buttons and the Power Button.

9) From standart you will be able to choose between "Archos" (Normal Archos Android) and "Angstrom" (SDE Linux Distribution)

Please often look into the download archive of Bubu ( http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/ ) for a new version of the Boot Menu!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Install Cyanogen

Install Cyanogen

"CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones

based on the open-source Android operating system.

It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones."

(from cyanogenmod.com)​

You can use the lastest Cyanogen version (based on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread) with the openAOS Boot Menu. (Both systems are from Bubu)

Install Cyanogen

1) Boot into normal Archos Android and connect it with your PC.

2) Download the lastest Cyanogen *.img file from here: http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/android/

3) Once your downloaded the lastest *.img file from there, you have to rename it to "openaos-gingerbread.img.

4) Now copy that file into the root of your Archos.

5) Now download this menu.lst file (from gbohm) http://www.filesonic.com/file/1302552154/menu.lst.

6) Copy that file to the root of your Archos. (maybe copy&overwrite)

7) Reboot your Archos.

8) I you should see a new entry in the Boot Menu, named "Ginger-bread", choose this.

9) Your Archos now boots Cyanogen!

Please often look into the download archive of Bubu ( http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/android/ ) for a new version of Cyanogen!

Editing the menu.lst

Editing the menu.lst

This Tutorial is for the more powerful users!

The menu.lst say to the openAOS Boot Menu, which OS are installed on the Device.

The Standart menu.lst, automatically created by the menu on first boot up, looks like:

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

Lets investigate a normal line:

Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
----1---|2|-----3----|-----4----|5

1) The first Part is the name, that is showed on the Boot Menu.

2) The second Part (empty here) is the Developer/producer of the Rom/OS/Image

3) The third Part is the name and directory of the Image File to Boot.

4) The fourth Part is the directory of the root of the Imaeg/Os.

5) The fifth Part is the SGX Overlay Version, you have to set :

"1" for a Linux/Debian OS/Image

"0" for a Android Os/Image

Editing the menu.lst on Windows

If you want to edit the menu.lst on Windows you have to use Notepad++ for this. (can downloaded here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download)

You have to be sure, that you have enabled the UNIX Line Endings!

(Edit >> EOL Conversation >> UNIX)

If its "grayed-out" its okey, if not just click on it.

The most maked fault

The most maked fault is this:

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

This menu.lst dont work!

It has to be:

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

You have to add a empty line! (Not just press "Enter" once when you are on the end of the last (gingerbread here) line, you have do it twice!)

After that you have to be 2 lines below the last OS line!

Great summary, thanks a bunch :)
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
:D after doing ur how to for Urukdroid it didn't work ; but i'm root now on the original firmware :D i dont know how or why super user is working... god damn it :D

with full read and write :D
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Just as a note.

If you have a A70s/h you don't need step 24 in Uruk configuration as our Display is mounted correct.
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
I can't startup my urukdroid in A101. I have tried below two lines in my config.

I can see it will start to boot Urukdroid, but after that it will switch to ARCHOS animation screen and wait for a long time.

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk2p2||/init|0

For this one, it will also start to boot Urukdroid at the first time, then it switch to ARCHOS animation screen and boot up android stock firmware.

UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk2p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
and

I know, I know:D

This is Urukdroid!:D:) I didnt believe it too, but i tested Urukconfig and it works normally:)

It dont install the normal Urukdroid apps... i dont know why...
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Thanks for the tip;)

I added this at first post;)
[Gen8 General] cardefbel:
Try the latest initramfs from BuBu, the one from 4 July. The devices for the external SD card were added again.
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
Lenn ; no i mean it start archos firmware from the boot menu and u'll get root :) i've tested it with the latest firmware and i'm root :)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yeah i know you mean,i have this too;)

But this is urukdroid^^ urukconfig works normally:)
[Gen8 General] zingel:
Your howto works fine, thank you very much.

But I have a problem - maybee simple.

On my Archos 101, after booting gingerbread (last bubu image) all stands upside down (bootmenu, afterwards the ADW screen). I just have checked all in the CM settings, so ADW become right, but some apps (like camera) won't follow and stay upside down :(.

What have I misdone?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Actually this bug have been solved...

Do you have the lastest versions? Please check;)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
The 101 will still have problems with the camera, etc. Display output is reversed, and the accelerometer has been reversed as well to cope with it. Eventually we'll get the display reversed instead of the accelerometer. Speaking of the camera, can you use it? I can't as the sdcard isn't mounted properly.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Nope, i cant use the camera either... but i dont need it anyway:)

Do you also have the "bug" that you dont have urukdroid apps installed?

actually it looks like stock, but i can run urukconfig without problems and enable disable modules... and i have perm root with su.apk...:D so i think it is urukdroid... right?:)
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
No.

CM7 comes with su.apk and UrukConfig starts/stops services that are (some ) available in CM7 to.

So no, you don't have Uruk if you bootet cm7
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I'm talking about my installed Urukdroid on the menu;):)

how i can test if this is urukdroid?...
[Gen8 General] tdude51:
Great tutorials! My only suggestion would be to please change the orange UrukDroid instructions to a darker color. The orange is hard to read on this light background.

I hope to follow these today so I can finally install UrukDroid on my Archos 43. I'll post back with updates.
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
just type uname -a in the terminal and see the output
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
Guys there is issue with mounting /data partition for urukdroid ; i have to mount it manually

i edited the init.rc to mount /data partition automatically but it didn't :S

any ideas ?!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey, thanks for the tipp!:) i'll switch it;)

Thanks!:)

Now i'm sure that its urukdroid:)

To our other questions:

I have this bug too...:(

But some apps save their status, for example Dolphin .. :)

Anyone have a solution?
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
CM seems laggy on Archos Gen8....it is usable?:confused::confused:
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
It's not laggy but with all the shortcommings atm it's not usable
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Its not daily usuable yet;)

thats why i want urukdroid on the boot menu:)

So now i can easyly compare the lastest CM version to urukdroid and can decide what i want to use:)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Definitely not laggy, but not ready as a daily driver either. As for the data partitions not mounting in Uruk, you need to make sure you are editing the init.rc correctly. Remove the # and change /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 to the correct partition. Mine looks like this:

mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Actually, i think mine init.rc ie exactly the same... i check it tomorrow:)

Do you read my message?;):)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Do you read my post in that thread? :D
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
I just watched Lennb's video for CM and seems laggy, I doesnt try myself....since my Archos was very poor for test so much ROM...LOL
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
I don't know what you're comparing it too... maybe a phone with CM7? That's not a fair comparison. As far as the Archos Gen8 is concerned, the CM7 image for gen8 is the smoothest rom i've tried, including Urukdroid and the stock Archos firmware. Like I said, still lots of bugs to work out, but performance is very surprising.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Warning! My video is old, it was the very first version of cm!!

Now we are on the fourth version! It is much more stable now!:);)
[Gen8 General] Unmensch:
could someone post their Urukdroid init.rc, I accidently deleted mine while adding the mount option.
[Gen8 General] jch0:
CM7 speed

Well, on the one hand it's significantly faster than the stock firmware, since it has the Dalvik JIT enabled. (For some reason, Archos disabled the JIT in the stock firmware, which slows down all applications by a factor of 2 or so.)

On the other hand, it doesn't use the Archos' DSP, which means that audio and video playback will be much slower than with the stock firmware. For example, playing an mp3 in the stock firmware is not measurable; in CM7, playing an mp3 takes roughly 10% of the slowest CPU speed (300 MHz).

And if anyone is wondering -- it's not yet quite ready for day-to-day usage, but quickly getting there. I'm currently running the stock firmware, but booting it from the OpenAOS menu, which gives me IPv6 and compressed swap without loosing any of the stock firmware's features.

[Gen8 General] vantoman:
Guys ; i've mounted the UrukDroid /data partition ; the correct line in init.rc is :

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

please Lenn update this on your awesome how to :)

Thanx
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Thanks for your work!:)

I will test it and update it:);)

_____

Thanks!:)

Now Urukdroid works for me without issues;)

I added you at the thanks list;)
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
Thank you lenn :) but i think you misplaced the init.rc code and put it under menu.lst

anyway there is another issue :mad:

after booting UrukDroid from boot menu i can't use my 3g usb modem i don't know why and i can't solve this ; can any one help ?!!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Thnks, i correct this:)

I think you maybe have the 3g modules deleted or the modules link at a wrong drectory according to the partitions we created:D;)

We should ask sauron about this:)

I'm gonna test to run Win95 on my A101, with the *.img for the A5IT, to just have some fun:)i'll report back;)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
As far as 3G, it could be a kernel incompatibility, I'll have to keep an eye open for that.

As far as the Win95 image:

That's supposed to use aDOSBox to emulate a dos environment. You'll actually still be running inside android. I use it to play old dos games. :)

There's literally no way you'll get that image to boot from the multiboot menu, as it's a normal x86 version of windows, and adosbox does the emulation between ARM and x86. Sorry to burst your bubble, I just don't want you to get frustrated doing something impossible. ;)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
But know i have an other "damage":D :

Urukdroid doesnt boot anymore...

Since i have updated to the newest gingerbread update and the newest boot menu...

i`ve checked the menu.lst and the init.rc ... nothing found, everything was normally.....
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Newest boot menu is still July 5th, so I know it still works with Uruk. Post your uruk line from menu.lst, and do an fsck from terminal (in a different OS) on the uruk partition (e.g fsck /dev/block/mmcblk1p2) to see if the partition is damaged.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I tried to just reinstall Urukdroid normally, but it doesnt work...

When i boot up uruk now, many processes force close on startup and the soft buttons are completly hided:D dont know why...

I will completly wipe my archos and make everything new from start:)

I´ll report back;):)

Still thanks for your help!:)
[Gen8 General] vantoman:
yes i faced the same issue but it was solved after selecting check disk from the recovery menu not re-installing UrukDroid .
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
oh.... Thanks!:)

Anyway now i install evrything new:D

but i hope i will remeber this on the next update:D:D:)

I´ll add this method at the instructions when i installed everything:)
[Gen8 General] zingel:
I used the newest gingerbread-img (July 8th) of bubu (openaos menu of July 5th = latest), but the browser crashes and os reboots (Archos 101). I thought the problem should be solved with that image. Or am I the only one with these troubles?
[Gen8 General] mao_:
hi. i install boot menu and urukdroid. and multitouch don't work :mad: i don't know what you can do for fix it

help me please
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I still have multi touch....

Did you test it?:)

Try this: http://market.android.com/details?id=org.hermit.touchtest
[Gen8 General] mao_:
yes. only one pointer. i try boot archos android: miltytouch work fine.
[Gen8 General] zingel:
report: reinstalled all (firmware, sde, aos, gb-img), and now no problems with browser crashes. That has been only my problem, sorry.

But by the way: Can anybody describe how to install google market under bubu's gingerbread/aos without adb? arctools seems to fail.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I think t just work over the adb way;)
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Download this zip file. Unzip it to /system with root explorer. All done.http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

[Gen8 General] mao_:
Lenn, i try to reinstall everything (sde,openaos,uruk etc), and multitouch work!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:

Completly wipe the device and install all new is the easiest way to solve problems:D;)
[Gen8 General] maikelbus:
Hi, thanks for this great manual! The Multiboot works perfect, but I have some problems:

1. By default the Multiboot not start, I have to start the tablet mode to initiate recovery.

2. In the first option in menu.lst (boot Android Archos) Froyo Android does not start the original, instead leaving a black screen.

3. With Urukdroid'm the same, the first screen goes black with a white line and the text "Urukdroid 1.0 rootfs: Init ..." and then a black screen, will not start.

All other systems (Angstrom, Debian and Gingerbread) boot without problems.

#

I changed the folder 2.6.29-omap1 the original lib \ modules and added archos.inc file in the root partition Urukdroid.

I added in init.rc (mount partitions), the line:

mount ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid

I have followed the manual correctly, but may do something wrong

I could help, please. What is wrong?

Excuse my English. Thank you very much:)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I think you have an old version of Archos OS..

The last firmware update (2.3.81) give us some kernel changes you need these to boot succesfull with the boot menu...

So update your archos firmware over the recovery system;) with the lastest aos file from www.archos.com;):)

The thing about selecting sde everytime:

If you usually use urukdroid this wont be a problem;)

Urukdroid set a parameter each time it boots, so everytime you boot up urukdroid the next boot up will automatically be the sde:);)

Anybody knows how urukdroid set this parameter?

It would be great if we could integrate this option in the boot menu:)
[Gen8 General] maikelbus:
I upgraded to the latest version of froyo, and now boots fine Froy, but restarted 2 times. :rolleyes:

Urukdroid does not work, does not leave the black screen but stays in the home screen (Archos Entertainment) does not advance.:confused:

Thanks
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey,

did you just add the line:

mount ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid

Into your init.rc or do you uncomment the excisting line?

You shhould do the last an change the line a bit..;):)
