[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXX.d0m1n0.XXX:
Hello, I started to root, finally, but I have a problem. I made a complete Root + S-Off, then divided the SD card (ext4) via Gparted and then flash new Radio. Then I chose the Hboot from Alpharev.nl (specifically CM7 r2) and flash him using the instructions on their site, where the last point he writes that I must do a complete wipe, so I had to delete the data cache and Dalvik and now I'm always standing on the splash screen (joker) and the phone restarted twice, eventually it fits into recovery - I can from there returned to normal FastBoot and bootloader, I see there hboot CM7 r2 and everything seems to be OK. I tried nandroid backup and makes it all the time. What next? It will help alignment-ext3 fix and then flash the selected ROM (Reflex S 2.1.7 CM7HBOOT) or create again new partition in/with recovery and then use alignment-ext3? Thx for any reply :).

Could someone tell me what is the difference I will see in upgrading to 1.5 from 1.0? I know the Almighty Lenn will probably chime in here, he always seems to have the correct answers for me.
[Gen8 General] aaronmy:
The WiFi is fixed, more smoother, recovery mode, media updates fixed.
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
If not having any issues with 1.0, is it a need to upgrade? Is it any faster?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Smoother=Faster

Media update fixes = less hang ups

Try it, its great:)

You can read all changes from every urukdroid version here:

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Changelog

For the germans:

Urukdroid Wikipedia article from me:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urukdroid

Greets,

Lenn
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
Lenn,

As normal you are here for the board. Could you please give me a step by step on how to update...the easiest way? Much props to ya bud!!
[Gen8 General] aaronmy:
Yes I have a problem with updating, I tried with the UrukConfig app but it completely does nothing and then deletes the file. I am in need of help.

This was for all of the urukdroid betas.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
1) Download this file: http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.5/UrukDroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2

2) Copy that file at /data/urukupdate (with a root explorer)

3) Wait 5-10 minutes

4) your archos will restart and flash the new rootfs

Greets,

Lenn
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
Thanks Lenn, in the process of downloading now..will update on how it goes
[Gen8 General] aaronmy:
Thanks, should i reset my android?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You dont have to but if you have much rubbish on your archos i would prefer this;)
[Gen8 General] deliverywong:
Thanks for update procedure.
[Gen8 General] mallard6453:
Thanks Lenn, worked like a charm...only downfall is now I have to buy the Cinema add in to watch my videos.
[Gen8 General] aaronmy:
worked flawlessly
[Gen8 General] GPHENOM:
After I updated my 101 rebootet normal but after the first second there are forced closes of the launcher, no chance to do something. How can i downgrade back to 1.0 or fix this?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Did you update from beta 2 to beta 3?

Anyway,

For downgrade to 1.0:

-Boot up with volume button down

-Recovery System>>Repair Device>>Format Disk

-After the wipe you have to connect your archos to your pc and copy the lastest *.aos file from archos.com (firmware, look under downloads;))

-Just install urukdroid 1.0 normally as you did:);)

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] GPHENOM:
I updated from 1.0 to 1.5B3 without any steps.

Is there no way to keep all my stuff?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Hm...

there is a way to backup your apps (just the apps no savings) but you need a linux distro to do so;)

if you have linux do this:

Connect your archos with your pc

Boot with volume down button hold down

Recovery System >> (i think..)Repair Device>>Start Usb MSC

You should see 3 different devices connected to your linux pc;)

I dont know which it is, but you just should search a directory like "system/app"

In this folder there are all your games apks;) you can copy these to your pc and do my instructions above..

After that just install the apks on your new urukdroid system;)

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] GPHENOM:
Ok, so I have to reformat...

How do i have to update next time?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey;)

Normally it works with this:

Download the update file

Put it into data/urukupdate

Wait 5-10 minutes

Your archos will reboot and flash the new rootfs;)

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] tryfarming:
I had exactly the same problem with the launcher. after installing from UD1.0 I re_installed ud1.0 as a completly fresh install as per the UD wiki install instructions, then placed update file as per lenn's instructions. it worked first time after this. keep perservering, I am finding 1.5 is much better, less random reboots and lost wifi.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
@Lenn:

System/App only holds the System apps (thats why it's called like that).

/data/app has the installed apps and in /data/data is the saved private data of those apps.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Aah thanks fzelle!

And again i learnd something:D:)

PS

Ich ignorier den typen vom flame thread einfach;):D
[Gen8 General] RiggerofRiV:
Works fine so far I can test it.

Is there any posibility to rescue from the bootloop trying this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125284 at 1.5.

First time I thought I made a mistake not overwrite the framwork.apk.I just rename the old one and copy the one from the thread. Second time I made a backup of the original framework and overwrote with the one of the thread. In both cases I got bootloops. I need over 1 and a half hour to restore my system.

Is there any chance to mount rootfs exspacially sytem folder to put the the correct apk back without doing the full installation with full wipe all, install aos, install uruk 1.0 and upgrade 1.5? I know it was my mistake I made twice, but maybe there is a better solution than installing anything from the scratch anytime.

EDIT: Second time I thought I was save by making a backup in Uruk rescue-menu. No errors appeared, but on the rescue menu I got the error SD card not mountable. I have none, but without any error on backup I thougt its backuped to the internal storage.

[Gen8 General] stigslim:
Hi peeps,thought i would give it a try but it gets to about 14% then the message extraction did not complete properly, switching to rootfs then boots back to Archos FW. Any ideas / pointers?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Try the first release candidate (RC) released yesterday;)

You can install it via easyinstall, the normal installation way, like you installed urukdroid 1.0:)

I use it and it is stable and fast, good;) try it

Greets

Lenn
[Gen8 General] stigslim:
Where do I get the RC from Lenn?, install the old way so to speak?.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You get it here:

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.5/UrukDroid_1.5-Install.rar

Instructions:

Boot your Archos into Recovery Menu

Flash fhe zImage and initramfs (Developer Edition Menu>>Flash Kernel and Iniramfs Copy the two files to your archos, press power button once)

Boot into Developer Edition

Set your preferences during the install

Copy the installation file (.tbz file) to your archos and press power button once

Your archos will reboot and install urukdroid;)

Greets,

Lenn
[Gen8 General] derf elot:
Edit: Nevermind, read manual, problem solved. It helps...
[Gen8 General] gersto:
Oh wow! An RC for 1.5! Awesome! Any major issues there? Been running 1.0 but stayed away from all the betas due to reports of major battery drain and instability.
[Gen8 General] nekoryu:
Hi there!

I have couple of questions for those who are knowledgeable:

1.Any way to install 1.5 from scratch ? (ie. not upgrading)

2.I am using custom kernel to get root, to get permroot you have to uninstall the android kernel (or whatever it is called) and just boot to Developers Edition. So the question would be - do i have to install Archos stock FW and then install Uruk, or can i just install it on top of my existing DE ?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Since there are the RC1 of 1.5 you can;)

Just download the install file from here:

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.5/

And extract the 3 files out of it;)

Then you just install it like 1.0, so you'll have Archos Os and Urukdroid:);)
[Gen8 General] nekoryu:
Thanks for the reply, but i don't have Archos OS, i only have custom kernel. Do i have to install original Archos OS or can i just install Uruk to my current custom kernel ?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
When you install urukdroid, it flases a new kernel anyway;)

So yes, but your kernel will be the urukdroid kernel after the installation:)
[Gen8 General] nekoryu:
Thanks again, just wanted to clarify things before i hack away.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Just wanted to point out - for you with different kid of problems - that

a) you can use now backup functions from RescuMenu to restore to previous state (so if you are going to mod framework-res.apk - or any other vital part - do rootfs backup, if it fail to boot - just restore it from rescue menu).

More here: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/RescueMenu

b) If you failed to upgrade - or just failed to boot ;) - you can use EasyInstall ReInstall feature - it will install rootfs only - preserving all /data

More here: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation

Anyway I really recommend reading WiKi - if something is missing there, ask - more people will benefit from this.

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/

btw. Thx Lenny for helping all those people!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] thugimmortal:
Hi I want to USB teather but it said that the kernel does not support it.

Any ideas or fixes for this. I'm using 2.3.5 and my pc is windows xp. Here's what it said the kernel needs.

This means that the Linux kernel on your device does not have the features (CONFIG_NETFILTER/CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and/or RNDIS) required for tethering. If you have an ADP G1, please read (or ADP16KernelUpdate if you're using Donut), otherwise you will need to find a firmware/kernel with these features.

lol doesn't mean nothing to me can anyone help.

hey nice app... But can it be possible that it Redials Auto too if the line is busy or not available...

It should be like redialing with speaker on automatically to let us know... that wud be handy...

Good idea - ill add it to the todo list!

Yep ive been looking forward to you implementing this as well!

So it works for you?
[Desire Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
yeah it works very well... Tried it and it Dials with speaker on.. Lovign the features. Very nice app...

Only thing that needs improvement is..

The screen gets locked in redial attempt too.. so u have to go through all procedure of unlocking and then drag notification bar down and then click on application status to Stop redialing.... IMO the screen shouldnt lock, or if it locks for battery saving then the application should be capable of unlocking it automatically when call connected...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillLee3:
Hope this aint already been answered... I got the 16 GB version of the Transformer cause I had a spare 32 GB microSD card. Put music and video there. Third party dedicted players (PlayerPro and Moboplayer) find it fine. However, Google Music and Spotify do not, causing me to need to redownload tracks onto my limited 16GB.

Seems to me that Removable/MicroSD needs to be joined to sdcard. Is that possible?

Guess I would also like to map /sdcard/Dropbox to /Removable/MicroSD/Dropbox. Again, possible?

Note: Running 3.2 with the elite overclock kernel, if that matters.

I went to the sprint store all psyched to finally make the jump to android and pick up a Photon. I went over to take a look at it and couldn't have been more disappointed. Not only was the UI god awful (I was willing to overlook this in expectation of new roms), but the display is simply the worst i've ever seen on a phone. It pixelizes everything. Everything looks annoyingly blocky.

Just a word of caution to those who are planning on buying the thing mail order. Do yourself a favor and find some way to see it person before you fork over your cash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
To save battery and for display purposes, stock setting for brightness is 1/2 way, go into settings and turn it up. looks great!
[Motorola Photon 4G] greggtr316:
Not sure what phone you looked at but my photon display is on par with my old samsung epic (and vibrant when I was with T-Mobile)..this screen is brighter, clear, and not heavily contrasted like my samsung phones although it looks to have a slight blue tint?...the colors are pretty realistic and it is definitely not pixelated and blocky. Maybe you looked at the cheap Moto phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I keep mine turned all the way down. I don't understand the complaints about the screen. But maybe I should have my glasses updated. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] thekarens:
Matter of opinion. I checked the Photon and 3d out and thought the photon was much better. As far as blur vs sense I would and did replace then both with a custom launcher because they both suck. Vanilla is the only way to go and moto is closer to that than htc.

Sent from my Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] greggtr316:
Agreed
[Motorola Photon 4G] codee:
I love the display as well, and dont understand peoples complaints about it. What launcher do you use? I prefer sense, especially 3.0 over motoblur. Im currently trying launcher pro but not sure about it yet...
[Motorola Photon 4G] gmore1:
Just came over from an NS4G (30 day exchange), and for me the NS4G was easier on the eyes with better colors and clarity but the Photons added .3 screen makes up for it and its brightness makes it far easier to see in sunlight than anything else I've tried. Always a trade off and there's no question that the Pentile screen improves battery life.

I'm fairy new to android but found goLauncher has everything I need for the NS4G and the Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thekarens:
If you like sense 3.0 look in the market for sbp shell. It's expensive, but similar to sense 3.0

[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
I'm in love with the display. I barely noticed the pixelization. Screen is way brighter than any other qhd I've seen. I came from a vibrant then to epic and now to photon and I would have to say this phone is as close to brightness and color display to samoled than any other sprint device. I love it and have no regrets. Also on the upside I could never root this phone or flash roms and I would still be satisfied.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wynand32:
I'd say: absolutely. If you're looking for a new phone, do NOT take what you read in the forums to heart. The Photon screen does use a different technology, PenTile, that some very vocal people tend to dislike while many others either don't see the difference or don't care about it, and that at the same time offers significant advantages in power utilization, brightness, and outdoor visibility.

So, yes, go check the screen out for yourself before discounting this phone. My guess is that the vast majority of people will like it for its brightness, power efficiency, outstanding colors, and visibility in direct sunlight, and won't notice the pixelation at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjjones:
after having a evo 4g (12 months) then a evo 3D (30 days of use) i see NO big difference, and really think some people have really nothing better to do with thier time other then critize something they don't own (like the OP), or people who want to make sure they pick on "what ever" about a new phone so they can say to THEMSELVES the phone they had purchased earlier is better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
to each his own i guess...i came from a evo to a evo 3d then to this and i must admit that the evo 4g screen was slightly sharper, the photon screen is far from blocky...unless ur like 3 inches away from the screen, u can't notice.

i find it funny so may people are bashing this screen but praising the super amoled screens which in the most part, use the same sub pixel design. every amoled screen ive seen looks exactly identical to the photon pentile screen.

all it took was one person to say something negative for everyone to jump on the bandwagon of hate.

i like the photon screen, looks good to me. yea little pixelated here and there but its a phone....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jasonhunterx:
They screen looks decent not up to Samsung standards I compared with my vibrant an it was ok a little pixelated I think others notice it more then average user
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
I finally saw the "screen door" effect yesterday that I've heard people talk about and it was when I was watching a YouTube video for Party Rock Anthem but when I messed with the screen brightness I was able to pretty much make it go away. I've compared the screen side by side with my Epic and with the brightness set high on both of them I really didn't see much of an issue with the Photon. I'm blown away with the performance and versatility of the Photon otherwise. I've got the car dock and the desktop dock and both make the features of the phone outstanding. I will probably be picking up another dock so I can have one at home and one at the office.
[Motorola Photon 4G] InfDaMarvel:
I do love amoled displays myself. So i could understand not likeing the photons display. Having a 4.3inch screen isnt enough anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eallan:
The pentile display is awful. Any colored straight line like the battery display will show noticeable pixels.

There is a reason samsung left pentile and samoled+ is an actual selling point.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
You know the funny thing about your comment... is that did you know that Samsung OWNS Pentile? They bought them and their tech back in 2007.

Yeah, I think Samsung really hates them a lot too... uh huh... :rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bigjim1488:
My brother has the photon and I think the display is pretty decent. I'm not going to say it's amazing or better then my old epic but it is not as bad as people here are saying. I think some folks jumped in expecting a galaxy type display and were disappointed when it wasn't. That's my opinion anyways.
