Heres what i did.

1.Connect Archos to your PC with the USB cable.

2.Go into recovery by holding down the "volume down" button and switch on your archos. Keep the button pressed until you see the white recovery menu. Goto "Recovery system" --> "Repair System" --> "Start USB MSC".

3.Copy data.img to PC.

4.Resize data.img on PC.

5.Delete data.img from archos using your PC over USB. Empty wastebasket/recycle bin on PC to make sure its deleted.

5.Safely umount/remove the archos from your PC.

6.Reboot into recovery and again go to "Start USB MSC" as above.

7.Copy resized data.img onto Archos.

8.Safely umount/remove the archos from PC. And reboot normally. Resized data.img should now be in effect, Check Storage in Settings.

I have only upgraded to final release today from RC2. On RC2 Youtube playback was still working fine in LQ mode. Could we not use AAC codec from RC2? If so where could we get it from?
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
I have pushed a little fix today to the git which enables the software AAC codec instead of the hardware decoder. HD youtube vids also play again.

Although there is indeed a little sync issue with video and audio and what is also still present is that we only get 20fps.

After getting it to work, those thing are annoying now. I see if I can fix those 2 things.

Also did I investigate why we can't play more codecs. The answer is simple. we don't have the required parsers sniffers for video files available in gingerbread. For video we only have mpeg4, matroska and mpeg2/ts. Nothing for ie AVI container available.

Working Build for HDD Versions?

Fantastic, thanks - Kernel was a real help! (Didn't test your IMG though, sorry)

New question about HDD 5IT and battery...

I have the 500GB HDD 5IT and I'm finding the battery life really poor, and have also just read on this thread that the Bull Final build has issues with always spinning the HDD (which I'm also experiencing), thus the poor battery.

Are there any versions of Android 2 that did work well with the HDD version of the 5IT (e.g. Froyo or pre-final Gingerbread?) or are am I better off sticking with the official Donut 1.6?

If Divx, Bizcuite or anyone else could share any light on this would be very grateful - I've also tried RC2 and had the same issue.

David
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Problem is that the image file is on your HDD, there will be constant reading and writing. So your HDD will keep spinning. This is also the problem with the newer gen8 A70IT HDD. Only way around it is to install the image on the flash memory of your device the same as archos does with their image. However I don't know if there will be room enough to hold two images (original and gingerbread). If there is then it should be possible, maybe a minor adjustment in initramfs.

BTW Gingerbread is better then the froyo.

If it isn't possible then you better stick with donut. You will always need it for media playback. I don't think someone will put the time in to get hw accelerated video working on gingerbread for the A5IT.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] davenash:
Hi Divx,

Thanks for the very informative reply. Makes perfect sense - I wasn't sure whether the android image stayed on the HDD or was transferred to internal memory (assumed the latter incorrectly!).

I want to use the device as a NAS (with 5inch 'now playing' lcd) and install a DLNA Server app on it - so that I can then use my phone as a DLNA controller to control playback of 500GB of music from the 5IT over Wifi. So video doesn't matter, but Android 2+ would be very useful as most decent DLNA servers aren't compatible with 1.6 :(

Your reply makes it sound like this really might be possible, though might require some risk to my device which I'm happy to take! I have a few questions to see if it would be possible to easily make this work without significant development effort:

- How would I go about installing the image on the flash memory? (How can I check my available flash space? Would you be able to explain to me the adjustment required in initramfs?)

- If there isn't enough space internally, could I remove the original 1.6 image and just use your newer image? Would you be able to provide instructions?

Maybe we can get this working for everyone with a HDD 5 or 70IT!

Many thanks,

David

Hey,

any news on hardware decoding?

I haven't been here long time casue my archos is nearly unuseable :(

Can anybody help me ??

Thanks alex
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
This thread is somewhat dead. I'm not sure if Divx118 is still developing on this or not. Your best bet would be to hop over to Bizcuite's thread for ICS and see if you can get that running on your tab. Keep in mind it's still very alpha, and many things are still broken.

[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread#FAQaboutGingerbreadrelease

Also you can put the CM7 line in menu.lst at the top and set the timeout to 1 second. Be sure to edit the menu.lst with notepad++ if you are using windows so no notepad from windows it messes with the line-endings.

I wouldn't know. I don't know what he changed in the kernel, so for Crow I suggest using my kernel (zImage). My kernel is just the same as stock with some minor additions, sources are here https://gitorious.org/archos-buildroots/gen8-kernel

With thanks to utopik, you can increase your market apps by changing the following in "/system/build.prop"

# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=GT-I9100-user 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD XXKG2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9100/GT-I9100:4.0.3/IML74K/BGLP8:user/release-keys
ro.opengles.version = 131072

Let me know if it works for you so I can include it in the next release.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I don't know if it s the same thing in cm7 but with others permissions (in system/etc/permissions) you can have more app with playstore.

If you want to try uncompress my own last gapp and test the permissions files, it works any dpi value.

For build.prop maybe prefer a i9000 or p1000 tab with sgx gpu. Sgs2 has mali gpu ( and other on "g" version).

[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Thanks bizquite,

and as far as I can see apps are all there. If someone knows of an app that is normally hard to get on playstore that would be nice for me to test.

BTW bizquite following is also important for you. I added "export INTERNAL_STORAGE /data" to init.rc so you will see the actual free internal memory available when installing apps. See https://www.gitorious.org/openaos-c...mmit/6c8c12f4ed3d96ac2c6427846414640f5b4e91b5

Download it with the tablet http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip so it sure goes in the right folder. There are two download folders in your root, one is named "Download" and one is "download" unfortunately windows is so stupid it doesn't see any difference between those folders.

I see if I can correct that or name it something like download_CM in the next release to avoid the confusion.

Don't forget to reboot after the download is finished.

Perhaps try again with a fresh zip, rename. place at "download" folder on internal storage, wait two minutes(Play a game or get some coffee), then reboot, and it should function.

hmmm... its weird... it didn't work....

Try to uncompress and recompress the archive.

I had a pb with the original zip file when i had made my own gapp.

It cannot be uncompressed with Divx118 script. The only way that i found to fix it, was repacked the archive.

To be sure that your archive is uncompress go to /data/gapp/ you must seen folders and files. It the destination include in script (if divx118 hasn't change any thing on script).

I just tried it yesterday, didn't rename or anything and had no problem. It is already named gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip which the script should pick up with gapps*.zip It could be that your download was corrupted. The script has picked it up else it wouldn't be gone from your folder. However if the file was corrupted it would fail at extracting it.
