@divx118

juts came here to ask u the same question. I know u are wokring hard on it - but would it be possible that u contact sauron and fiddle out how to multiboot your OSes ?

Atm I see u both going parallel ways - u have multiboot in your kernel - sauron has AlternativeOS in his UD.

But i never got it managed to boot both propper (I tried the debian method as well as some custom fiddeling )

The best thing imho would be being able to boot Bull RC2 as AlternativeOS from UD, since it's already an image and UD is "installed".

Maby UD kernel needs some fixes from you / and other way round?

But as many other people I never made it to the testing team for u - since I can't use Bull as daily OS and still need UD - and reinstalling kernels each day is not really an option

Think you would have much greater feedback with more people helping you...

This would be great ,, i have the same problem i never got alternativeos to boot either
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
If I have hwaccel working, I want to start working on a new multiboot which would be able to use hopefully kexec to boot multiple kernels. This way we wouldn't be stuck to one kernel which is always a compromise for all the different rootfs.

However when I will be able to start on this is still ??

When you want the fast way, a little help is appreciated, openaos kernel sources are on gitorious so if someone does a diff with the kernel sources from urukdroid we can update the openaos kernel with what is missing now for urukdroid.

Then we can just use openaos multiboot to start urukdroid.

Kexec works

Hi divx118,

Don't waste your time on kexec, I have already worked on it and its functionnal. Patch coming soon
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
sounds great - looking forward to test it ;)

Btw:

Do u think they use kexec or do they just "switch_root"?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yseT4USH8SY&feature=player_embedded

Switching between Ubuntu and Android would simply be awesome ;) k i now 265MB limits it... on our gen8 :D
[Gen8 Android Development] alephzain:
Sort of virtualization, a brief look at source code, they seems to use chroot and X sessions. Take a look here http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-run-multiple-linux-distros-without-virtualization/2009/08/11.

All running OS use the same kernel ...
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Good to here :) , which kernel version do you use for kexec? Can't wait for your patch.

@DivX

just installed Bull RC2 again

Originaly my usb host is broken - since that my device didn't go into sleep anymore (green light permanently on) no matter i used stock or UD (it seems those problem are conencted since usb host & powermanagement are on 1 chip)

But TADAAA on Bull RC2 it suddenly seem to go into standby again.

So my qeustion is - do you know what could affect it?

What did u do with the USB host drivers? Are theyloaded? Or did u leave host up to later versions?
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
You can load them yourself by "/system/xbin/usbsh guest start" however if you need the archos fix for A101 USB then you will have to build your own kernel from openaos git. I already merged 2.4.82 firmware there.

I only tested if I get an usb stick mounted all the userspace stuff I still have to look at for USB host.

I am still busy with the dspbridge and overlay creation. Youtube hd vids and some mp4 play nice and smooth however I have some problem with setposition of the overlay. I am close to a fix for that.

Lack of free time and no other devs that are working on it slow things a bit down.

EDIT: BTW deep sleep on Bull RC2 seems to be a bit different then on original firmware. That is why it works on a A101 with broken USB atleast on mine it always worked.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] deliverywong:
Installed Bull RC2 few days, it works very smooth. But, every time my A101 goes into sleep, the speaker will have one sparking sound no matter I turn the sound off or on. It comes around every 1 minute....
[Gen8 Android Development] musclebai:
mounting rootfs partition failed

is ther a way to reboot into gingerbread by default.i am having to goto SDE->Gingerbread everytime
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
oh im quite happy with the situation - since the not working sleep made the device quite useless for me - drained 100% battery in 24h

I'd rather dont have host and working sleep then the other way round.

Anyway the happieness came too early - since my device wakes up every 10s somehow... maybe casue I installed supercharger scripts - will reset RC2 and check again.

Maybe the same problem as here? - since he can hear the spark sound each minute

Just the wakeup time is quite ugly long? About 10s - and deep spleep is not activated... Any way to fix that?

(Aswell the time for going to sleep also takes about 7-8s according to the LED)
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Do you know when a new release is planed?

Awesome! Good to see some updates, I recently built from source but YouTube still wasn't working. Camera was also being weird. I'll see how this release goes on my A43. Keep up the good work!
[Gen8 Android Development] airwolf1544:
Looks fine so far :D
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
I pushed some fixes on sunday, however the camera for A43 is different so I don't know if it works. I think resolution settings may need some fixes for A43 camera. Youtube should work also for A43.

[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
can't wait to try this when i get home.

do we have hwa on mx video player or just mp4 on the default player?

was any change done to the deep sleep crackling sound problem?
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Forgot to try that, so I don't know.

I am working on that now. It is still there in this release. I first need to find out where it comes from.
[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
I'll test the video formats on mxplayer and report back.

btw we can keep the data.img or do we have to do some cleanup?

I messed up my market install so I have no way to install it now since the reboot doesn't start the googleapps installer.

Any advice here?(ps. I have all the gapps except for market (I stupidly tried to update it).
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Normally you can leave data.img alone and just copy the new image, however if you messed up the market install, it is best to delete the old data.img and start fresh.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
There is already a tickey about that on the support section on openaos site and a dev says that it's cause by a module and happens every time the led turns on

Hi all,

I have updated previous Bull version. The new version is like a charme, especially using Auto Manager Memory app...Gingerbread fly!!! :eek:

Thanks divx118, Bubu and other developers....
[Gen8 Android Development] rapunzel11:
So much thanks to divx118 for his work and the new update. I've got 1767 points on quadrant standard edition @ 1.000 Mhz. Tomorrow I will get a Lenovo Idea Pad A1 with Gingerbread out of the box. Think I will start a comparison of both devices. ;-) The Ideapad has nearly the same hardware configuration but it has gps on board and the better resolution. With heavy hearted i will sell my A70it. But for only 139 € getting a 7" navigation system and a fully functional Android Pad are tempting me.

BTW: The clicking sound by turning into black screen/sleep modus is still there. Easily a small problem.
[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
no mx video player hwa :-(

But the rom looks fast as hell!
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
I tried to install bull release instead of urukdroid today. I'm not very experienced user but i had zero problem to enable root on my Archos 70 and to install many versions of urukdroid.

I get manage to install Bull but i have some things to say. First there is no detailed and easy (at least for me) guide with the files ready for downloading one by one without to rename or edit anything. Second, i haven't manage to install google market. Third no luck with the usb connection to my computer. Fourth video playback 720p it was very slow probably due to hw accelaration mising, i just mention it. Beyond that this rom seems to be fast and willing. Sorry for my bad english
[Gen8 Android Development] CalcProgrammer1:
Updated to Bull on my A43 finally, YouTube now works. It doesn't fill the screen properly though, but video playback is fairly smooth and audio sounds good. Camera works better as well, but suffers from the same non-screen-filling bug. I managed to take pictures and video seems to crash it.

What all is added to data.img? I prefer to run CM from a physical partition and would like the /data folder to just be part of that partition (1GB for all of CM). I know there's a data_img.sh in /system/xbin and some stuff in init, I removed them from my previous build and it loaded my existing data, but you mentioned something about /cache.

Overall, great release!
[Gen8 Android Development] deliverywong:
Updated to new Bull today, it works well and it is my first time to use wifi location at google map without GPS. Video at PPS app works well too which previous RC2 was not working. Thanks.
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
There is now a symlink in the root from /cache to /data/cache. So you can leave it how it is or you can revert it back in int.rc see commit https://www.gitorious.org/openaos-c...mmit/738f1f86496762f1ec6031a36e78f9996743cdc1

Could you post a logcat from youtube playback on a43it?

[Gen8 Android Development] airwolf1544:
Have tested the new release yesterday...

This rom is now realy amazing... it is fast as hell... 150mb free ram with installed gapps...

And the deep sleep standby is also as good as original firmware.. (3% of battery in 9h deep sleep)

divx118! Thx for your work.. i love my Archos 101G8 :D
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Nice, I didn't do anything special for deep sleep yet. However it could be that the modules were the problem, I updated them to the latest version.

I am working now on the USBserver to switch between host and usb mass storage. In the mean time I am also looking at that popping sound, it is getting anoying now :).

divx118

I almost forgot it:

If you first boot the image it happens sometimes that omap_vout isn't loaded correctly this means it can't create the overlay for playback video and uses the software renderer. If you just reboot it is ok. It only happens atleast to me on the very first boot. So if you got choppy video playback on first boot just reboot.
[Gen8 Android Development] lohtse:
Hi

Would just like to confirm whats working and whats not...My partners wanting this on her 101it but need to let her know whats what so she can't complain after I flash lol...
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
This release is definitely an improvement over RC2. Alas, it's still completely unusable on my tablet. Everything was running great until I installed market. After that, crashes, lockups and reboots at random intervals just like on RC2. I noticed that someone opened a ticket for that long ago. Hopefully when you solve that ticket the problem with go away. Great work so far though. This rom is blazing fast when it's working.

70IT 250GB
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Have installed it and no marketproblem.

How did you install the market?
[Gen8 Android Development] Slurm:
I have a problem with apps that install on usb-storage. I get an error message like 'installation failed on usb-storage or sd-card' (it's in german, so I translated it).

I've had the same problem with latest urukdroid and it was related to the kernel. Using an older kernel solved the problem there.
[Gen8 Android Development] philocritus:
Try the few solutions on the forum. It solved it for me.

a) erasing the .asec files

b) unmounting sdcard before the install

c) changing install destination to automatic
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Fzelle,

I followed the instructions to the letter. I used a 1gb data image when I set it all up. From the tablet's browser went to the cyanogenmod bookmark and selected the download link for CM7. From there it downloaded. Once complete, I rebooted the tablet.

Ran into some issues from there though. The intro screen would not advance. When it finally did, didn't detect my wifi. So... I deleted my data.img file and put a new one in. After I did that, I refollowed the instructions for market installation and this time it worked fine.

The problems started not much after that. I was in the middle of downloading several apps when the crashes, freezes and reboots started.

For due diligence, I was planning to redo the entire image process just to make sure that the aborted first market install didn't affect the system image.
[Gen8 Android Development] Slurm:
simply unmounting before install already helped. thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Following up to my prior post, I've confirmed that they crash/freeze/reboot bug for the 70IT 250GB is still present. I've re-installed Bull-Final several times, even formatted my drive clean and done a 100% clean install... nothing has worked. After the totally clean install I let the tablet sit idle at the home screen. In under 5 minutes it locked up and rebooted.

Better luck with the next version for me I hope.
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
In this setup with the image on the hd, you will continue to have problems on the 70IT 250GB. However I believe the 250Gb has a larger internal storage where your apps are installed and the rootfs from original firmware is or not?

Maybe we could use that extra space to copy the image there.

divx118

For gapps install http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/Android...ngGingerbreadthefirsttimeandinstallgoogleapps
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Titanium Backup reports the internal storage to be 1.7GB. Not sure if that's larger or smaller than the flash versions of the tablets. If you can figure out a way to place it there.. maybe I can get the stability needed to install Gapps...
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
The A70S has only 300MB for Data, so your space is alot bigger.

And you could have mentioned earlier that you have a 250.

As i said alot of times in the UrukDroid thread, if you guys with the A70H don't help solving the problem and always just stepping back and wait, you will never get a working rom.

So step forward and help.
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Fzelle, if you notice I do list the make and model of my tablet in every post in this thread when I am reporting a problem. Furthermore, where do I get started to assist divx118? From what I understand he would need some sort of debug output, but do you have information on how I would set that up. I'm willing to help IF I know how to. The neg attitude your pushing does not help anybody.
[Gen8 Android Development] mmoalem:
hi there all - so glad to see this new rom so thanks a lot all who are involved and contribute.

I do have an issue with root. more exactly with titanium backup and some other apps requiring root...

i have updated superuser but still no good.

apps like root explorer and adaway work fine.

titanium comes up with "sorry, i could not aquire root privilages. This application..." (busybox is installed and seems to work fine. superuser has allowed titanium to be root but still same issue.

also clocksync doesnt seem to ask for root even thought it need it and Rom Toolbox lite works but only part of it's internal applications...

any ideas?

my device is A70IT 8GB
[Gen8 Android Development] monstercheese:
Did you tried to reboot your device ?

If yes, try to clear data of superuser apps and reboot.
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
That is definitely curious behavior. I don't know much about how root privileges work at the system level, but if I were to take a wild shot in the dark I would say something might have gone wrong when you flashed your zImage and initramfs file. Or to look at it from the other side, perhaps your installation of Titanium Backup is bad? My guess would be to try reflashing your zImage and initramfs files and see if that clears up your root permissions issue and/or reinstalling Titanium Backup. Just my .02.
[Gen8 Android Development] rapunzel11:
Just let me say one thing before. I've loved my Archos 70IT. But today i've got a lenovo ideapad A1 for only 139 €uros. It has Android Gingerbread out of the box. First i was shocked, I've got only 1200 points on quadrant benschmark test. But everything seems much faster and smoother, especially browsing and starting up Applications. Don't know why?. The quality of processing is much better and the display is amazing in comparison to the 70it ones. It also has some bad viewing angles, but it is much sharper and the colours are brighter. I haven't await the quality of an Apples iPad Display for this price. But it also brings GPS and two cameras for this price. And auto brightness and a vibration motor are also on board. And the best I've found a working ClockworkMod for this device on XDA.

This is a little off topic, I know. And it isn't my purpose to reduce the work of all developers here. But I think times of the G(eneration)8 devices are gone. Archos was one of first who has sold low priced, android based pads with a capacitiv and multitouch display. But time changes, and I'm not sure if G9 pads will be successful.

But don't worry....
[Gen8 Android Development] nekoryu:
That was... Irrelevant.

On the brighter side, I did clear the data/cache for the SuperUser app, and now I have root access with no problems on all the apps. Thank you monstercheese! (Sounds a bit like Homer Simpson with 'Help me mayonnaise!')
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
I just tested it and that is not entirely true. If the video codec is supported it will play with hw codecs roughly that means if it plays in stock videoplayer. However most codecs are still not supported they need to be "fixed" first.

In principle it should be able to play all codecs which also are available in stock (I use stock dsp libs in CM7), but the right codec needs to be called for the video file. There is it where it currently fails. It doesn't recognize the video files properly.

I probably already know the answer to this, but hdmi doesn't work in this cm9 rom does it? Haven't tried yet, but I'm guessing the only way is to boot stock os and use hdmi that way.

Great work by the way! This tablet (101 G8) definitely is budget in feel and performance, but this cm7 rom greatly helps :)
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Yes, I don't think it will work right away. Never tried it, becuase I don't have the hdmi cable.

For gen7 you need to have a working original donut which is also explained http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen7

If you can't boot into donut and have wifi then wifi also doesn't work on gingerbread.

That didn't happen in rc2, but ok I'll have to add donut to the menu list
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Then you had still the original data partition from donut available and were lucky.

BTW I think you also need to copy over a fresh image file for gingerbread after you confirmed wifi is working on donut. I don't know for sure, need to look at the code when they copy over the files.
