Something devs related. Hope to see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=mrQRYmYip6Q in future to our old fashioned great devices. As I saw in G9 section its already done for CM9 http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/usuym/linaro_build_optimizations_that_can_make_ics_30/ I took an eye on it and I saw that the tests were done on android 2.2 and there is toolchain and how-to-do it for android 2.3.7 (I dont have any android development knowledge so devs should take a look if its possible to be done for next releases)

Linaro improvements for Android.
[Gen8 Android Development] ghling:
Hi everyone

first of all, thank you divx for all the work you are doing with this rom, its working great.

I have installed the 2012-04-09 final version yesterday an my IT101 and must agree with everyone that this rom is superb. But there are a few little issues I have with it:

- The biggest one is that trying to connect to my wifi with the tablet seems to kill my router. I have a sitecom router and every time I want to connect to my wifi (choosing the right ssid, entering the wpa2-key, tablet says "connecting to wifi", then "receiving ip address") the router seems to become overloaded and reboots. It needs quite some attempts till the tablet is connected to my wifi and gets his ip address. I don't know if the router or the tablet causing this problem (would not be surprised if it's the router) but I can say that I could connect my tablet to the wifi without any problems using the stock firmware the last few days before installing Bull.

- Another problem I had was that an install from the market failed with the message "Unable to write on usb device or sd card". This was mentioned some pages ago and unmounting the sd card during the install solved that problem. But maybe there is some kind of fix for that as the install on stock firmware doesn't have any problems.

And finally I'd like to add a quick question: I've read about some fixes the last few pages (using usb mouse and keyboard, resolve the noise of the speakers when waking from sleep) that should be added in the next build. Am I right that the version from 2012-04-09 is the latest one and this fixes are not yet implemented?

PS: Does anyone knows a fast way to install apps that "are not compatible with my device" as the play store claims, for example Swiftkey Tablet X (haha)?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Yes 2012-04-09 is the latest build for now and the fixes such as the poping noise arent fixed yet.
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
I already answered you on irc, but for future reference.

This is probably because the following patch isn't applied. https://www.gitorious.org/openaos-c...rameworks/base/prevent_jpeg_bench_build.patch

It prevents jpeg_bench from building.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
CalcProgrammer1 if you achieve building it please share :-)
[Gen8 Android Development] CalcProgrammer1:
I did finally get it to build. The patch was applied but it wasn't working. I changed DO_BUILD to DO_BUILD_LOL as I figured that keyword was unused. After that it built and seems to work.
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Can you please share the built files?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Can we expect CM9 port in the future? If Letama is stil working on his port of ICS it is possible, isnt it?

Looking forward for OpenAOS Crow release.

EDIT: I've done some changes on my build.prop and it seems like I lost the original one. Can somebody upload it? I'd like to compare the original to the edited one. Thanks in advice.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
This is mine:

http://www.mediafire.com/?j81mlcsr3irdwbo

Compile there was 2-3 days works well, with all patches from Cyano and divx118.

I CAN'T CONFIRM IF IT WORKS CORRECTLY, IT'S NOT A SYSTEM BUILD BY DIVX118, USE IT AT YOUR RISK AND DON'T REPORT ANYTHING ON THIS POST ABOUT THIS UPDATE PLEASE

Be happy! :highfive:

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Is this your modified build of Bull? If so, I see there are many people improving the build so I think divx can make a page to upload it and everyone can use it if its good. Something like experimental and nightlies in Cyanogenmod's page. Also, divx and anyone from the developers can share ideas or help each others to improve it quicker and easier.

EDIT: Thanks for the sharing. Saved it and going to try it soon.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
It's an orginal, without modification, build with the how to on openaos website :D

I think that's useless to make a website like Cyanogen. Because updates are more and more rares on CM7.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Hi, Bizcuite:

I have installed your latest update CM 2.3.7 ROM in my Archos G8 101,

it seems very smooth and fast but I do not know how to install Market

(Google store) and Gmail ? Besides my Youtube video could not playback?

Can you teach me how to solve both bugs?:confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Hi!!

Just go there: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps

And download the CM7 google App.

Copy it on the root of the sdcard, and the installation will be automated :D

Enjoy!! ;)

Edit: For you tube i think that the Hard decoding is not functionnal, Divx118 can make a better answer like me

Bizcuite!
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Is there any way to sync the video with the audio? its annoying and it keeps me away from sticking with bull permanently.
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Hi,Bizcuite:

I had download "CM7 google APP" and copy it on the internal sdcard but still could not auto install "google store & Gmail??

Maybe I have to copy "CM7 google APP" on the external sdcard , is that right??:confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
On the internal SDCard not the External MMC :)

Personally i had let the file downloaded in the download directory (on /SDCARD/download).

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Don't move the file

Just download and reboot after ;-)
[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
it works fine on my A101.(i guess the processor is the same)

what video player are you using?

btw, don't expect 720p to run on our tablet... well except some videos on the original firmware, but not on the openaos.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Well, its not only about the movies. Even the music has delay. When I press "play" it takes one sec to start. I have used MoboPlayer,Vplayer,MXvideo player (there are lag spikes with MX)
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
As you can read in the first Post, everything related to hardware accelerated decoding is not really working ( except youtube and some mp4 ) so don't expect anything.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I've set it to play with SW decoding by default. Is the video/audio out of sync for everyone or just me?
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Thanks and I already can install Google store & Gmail by puting the file in the "download" directory (on /SDCARD/download).:D
[Gen8 Android Development] cgjones:
Has anybody managed to stop the random, and frequent, reboots on the A70 (250GB) yet?

Love the ROM, just unusable due to the reboots.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
As far as I know Bull is not good for the HDD version for now as the hard keeps spinning and drains the battery. It might be fixed in the next release as well as the frequent reboots. Divx has the last word about the fixes.
[Gen8 Android Development] cgjones:
The stock firmware is just ridiculously slow. Archos just seem to have completely forgotten about this device. So annoying that they don't release an official Gingerbread update.

If happily sacrifice battery life for a more usable device.
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Hi,divx118:

Can you help me to solve the issue of "youtube app could not playback

in your latest Bull-final CM7 ROM & Kernel ?

(installed in Archos 101(g8) stock OS 2.4.82 or 2.4.83)

---> It is not only Youtube app but many other stream player

(ex. Tubemate.apk,..) also could not playback and only appear

the letters:""Sorry, this video cannot be played"

----> My another UrukDroid 1.6.4 and stock OS 2.4.83/82

have no problem to playback Youtube 2.44 app & other stream

video normal (only sometime delay 20~30 seconds to playback)

----> I have tried to clean installed (full system format & installed

stock OS 2.4.83 or 2.4.82) then reinstalled Bull CM7 ROM

but resulted still could not playback Youtube app & some stream video apps?

I am wondering whether the hw accelerated flash video can be worked in my

Bull CM7 ROM or not? can you help me to double check and find the solution??:p

(I prefer to use bull CM7 ROM due to it is more fast and stable than others ROM)

EDIT: I confirmed the"Youtube app "could playback video under 640x480 resolution no problem,

but can not playback more than 1024x768 resolution of stream video,

so I suppose the bull-final ROM still can not work hw accelerated flash video in my A101!:confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] kot7k:
Hi,

A friend of mine just lend me his archos 101it to mess arround with it and i have been trying some things but i think i dont have all the information with me. Could you answer me some questions? :

- I tried to use bull final and it seemed ok but wifi is always disconnecting to the point it messes up my router and i have to restart it. This doesnt happen on stock or on urukdroid (but in urukdroid after a restart sometimes i have to deactivate and activate wifi again). Do you have this problems with wifi? ( i have hidden bssid dunno if that can be the problem)

-I saw many posts with problems with youtube, what do you do for watching vids there? actually... can you watch vids on youtube? are they fine as they would be on stock at least? is there any way to have the power of gingerbread without losing some other things?

- I also tried bizcuits kernels to try if that solved my wifi problems, but they still there.

Greetings.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Please, don't report anything on this thread if you run my own RC BULL build, Divx118 cannot do anything about this system.

If you have a pb, just reinstall BULL RC and its original kernel & initramfs.cpio.gz.

Use my build at your risk

About Youtube problem, i have this problem now, and try to compiled another kernel to fix it. Linaro toolchain makes this error.

Bizcuite.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I havent tried with YouTube app but VPlayer is working demn good for youtube, also you can use it for other sites and it can play in background.
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Hi,Mavasilisk:

I tried the Vplayer in Bull-final cm7 ROM, IT is really working good for stream video

in internat. but the youtube app still could not playback even though

I use "default app manager" app to change "default stream video player"to Vplayer ?

do you know any effective skill can actually change "default stream video player"

to Vplayer ?

Thanks for your information
[Gen8 Android Development] kot7k:
Thank for the answers. I'll try that player.

What about the wifi?, do you have that problems?

I just asked in this thread cause i was using this build, which is bull final, not rc anymore xd, just installed your kernel the other day to see if it solved my problems bizcuit, but i had the same problems i was writing here.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Not problems with wifi with bull or urukdroid at all.
[Gen8 Android Development] kot7k:
What kind of encryption are you using? Mine is wpa2 with hidden bssid like i said, and ips are assigned by dhcp

EDIT: I did some tests today and it seems that all my wifi problems were caused by the hidden bssid, i guess i can live without it XD

EDIT2: Jackson, why do you use bull-rc2 when bull final is in the op? is there any reason for that?
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Sorry!I make a mistake on writing the "bull-rc2" instead of "bull-final" !

Actually I always tested by latest bull-final CM7 ROM!:victory:
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
hi, can someone please help me, i dont know what im doing wrong, but i installed the openaos multiboot menu in kboot and installed cm7, and each time i install the gapps i loose root, superuser cant detect my superuser binarry version, nor can i use root apps, i allready reinsalled cm7 by deleteing all the openaos related files and folders on the internal memmory and copying again the data.img and the gingerbread-bull.img.gz (or how its named) and i just cant make it so i can install gapps and remain rooted, my device is a archos 101it, also bodhi linux works great from the openaos menu, and im sure i have the latest zimage and initramfs.cpio.gz so i really have no ideea whats happening?

EDIT: ok, nvm, after many reboots whit no succes i finally entered superuser and selected temporarry unroot and did a reboot and now it can see my superuser binary version, lol, what an odd problem.......

How to update archos fw 2.4.83 with bull installed?

I have the latest bull installed but when i try to upgrade the original firmware from 2.3.81 to 2.4.83 have no luck. Gingerbread is the second option to boot menu and im doing that when i'm entered to archos, downloading the update fw file, open it and after reboot, nothing it is 2.3.81 fw again!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
You have bad permissions on su application i think.

Try but i don't know if you can do this without permission under terminal emulator or adb

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Or download another bull image and install it on your sd.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bostro:
What's the difference from the bull with the ANOA edition? http://download.openaos.org/release/

Many other fixes, read in the forst post for more information between them.

Have you got ubuntu on your computer?

There are compiled libraries on the website. Download the last package.

You can try to mount directly the image and rename&replace the file.

Mount -o loop /media/-your device mounted-/openaos-cm.img /mnt

Search the file named aac (look the post of divx118 there is the name OMX...) in'/mnt folder.

Make a backup of the original file!

Rename it and replace. You can try but you are very lucky if it works :D

Put the original filed if it doesn't worked.

I haven't tried this...
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
Sorry I do not know how to operate ubuntu or Linux ?

I can only double check it in "Root explorer" of Bull-Final CM7 ROM,

Unfortunately I could not find the aac file (name OMX...) in mnt folder?:crying:

"insufficient space on the device" - anyone has seen this error when try to install app from market?

it just appeared yesterday and i can't see any reasonable explanation - there's lots of free space in internal memory and sdcard

i tried to clear data and cache of Google Play and restart - it doesn't help

any other ideas pls?
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
It dosn't matter how much space you have on the internal memory, it matters how much is free in your data partition.

If you didn't use a bigger one, you have 512MB total.

hi,

I need your help.

Using WIFI my tablet is very slow, more than using 3g connection.

My archos a101, can't get more than 1200kb (1mbit/s) with wifi connection. My router is dlink DVA-G3170i (up to 54mb) and is working normally with any computer/notebook. my android phones zte racer(cheap phone 50€) can do 6mb/s.

The latency is very high.

I already try change the channel but with no results. With the stock version and urukdroid i have the same problem.

Someone has the same problem?

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] bobybc:
how can i check this?

i've uninstalled some apps ~12MB and tried to instal new one ~200k - the same error occurred

i'm afraid that the reinstall is the only possible solution
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I have 15 mb/s download and around 10 mb/s upload with latency around 30-50 to a place about 60-80 km away from my place. Its something either with your tablet or router I think. Wrong configuration might lead to such thing.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
There is a pb when you download any app on market. Android put cache directly on system partition (your image). I have fix it to create another biggest image of 500Mo (you must have linux for that). It enough for me.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] joaoalex:
I can download any app from market, but the download doesn't start immediately, only after 10/15 seconds.

if i measure the speed with speednet app the result is 1mb/s but with internetspeed app is 6mb/s

The internet navigation in very slow...

Could you share this pls?
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
I have posted it on the wrong thread before.... :(

I have make a new formatting and a new installation and it seems to be good now....only the image I will take a picture of is upside down, and still that I must log on gingerbread through the boot menu and not automatically when I reboot .... it is still an issue on my tablet or it is a know issue? :(
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
That is no known issue, it is designed that way.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
It means that this is normal the upside down picture and the log on through the boot menu?

Thx
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
The Logon is as designed.

The upside Down is because on the 101 on many models the screen is inserted that way.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
And they will not be changed?

Thx for u answer
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Hey, you can try to disassemble the 101 and put the display in the right direction.
[Gen8 Android Development] foxtrotter:
Archos sucks because they put a laptop screen on a tablet ... it means that if you tilt your screen colours and brigthness will change.

As a tablet is designed first to be putted on a table , they conclude that the best angle for the best vision with this (cheap) screen is ... upside down

So they put their screen upside down for all 101 device ... And so it will not be changed because it is not a mistake...

What a shame

Hi,

Someone knows if there is any way to indicate in menu.lst which data.img must be used or calling a script to rename data.img. The goal is to have multiple profiles.

[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
You could edit init.rc see https://www.gitorious.org/openaos-cyanogenmod/device_archos/blobs/master/gen8/init.rc#line128

Unpacking of data.img if there is none is done in the data_img.sh in /system/xbin https://www.gitorious.org/openaos-c.../master/common/rootfs/system/xbin/data_img.sh

It is a thing on the feature list which I want to implement in the future.
