[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
Hey guys,

im currently running Urukdroid which, as we all know, is based on the Archos stock rom. But since the development of stock roms isn't very fast and I fear Archos will never release any OS version behind Froyo soon - I thought about pushing and helping AOS a bit wich is based on Cyanogen Mod 7.

Still I hope Sauron and AOS-Devs some day join and make one gr8 Rom - but I'm also aware there are some limitations (as Archos has some things deeply integrated into the system)

Anyway - recently some question about openAOS came into my mind and I thought about using this thread for general questions and answers as Im propably not the only one searching for it.

Here are many questions so I hope for your help - on the other side I also will gather and write down all things I found out...

So for each question: answers and alternatives are welcome (if u name an alternative it should have the same functionality at least + be free) - also u may ask new questions which I will add here.

1. Stock functions:

[Q] can we use HDMI output on AOS?

[A] -

[Q] is deepsleep/hibernate working on AOS?

[A] I haven't found any options for this...

[Q] what about 3G Sticks?

[A] -

2. Stock Apps:

Can the Stock apps be ported over to AOS somehow? Or do they need the stock system behind?

[Q] Music App is? there any alternative with coverflow ? wasn't the latest Android Stock Music App with coverflow in landscape?

[A] -

[Q] Video App, UPnP, SMB

[A] Propably too deep integrated into the system (especialy since AC3-Plugin Support,..) - MoboPlayer is a great free alternative imho - even AC3 for free - for Upnp use BubbleUPNP and for SMB/Cifs FileExpert (TIP: set the background colors of Mobo a bit darker and it doesnt look so cheap anymore ;) )

[Q] Archos Remote

[A] I read about it being integrated too deep into the system so sadly not - until someone corrects me

[Q] Archos Mediascanner and what is its advantage over the Android Stock one?

[A] -

[Q] Archos App Store

[A] propably u wont don't need it anymore since we got the Android Market for CM 7 (like on UD)

[Q] I like the Archos Softbutton Bar rather then Button Savior - is there any way to get it wokring?

[A] -

3. Services:

Which services (we mainly know from UD) can we use on openAOS? Or are activated already? I know we cant use a nice app for - like UrukConfig - but all those should be basic linux services....

[Q] CompCache

[A] Enabled by default as far as I remeber - dunno the values, 64mb? - correct me if im wrong

[Q] CpuGovernor

[A] it's activated as "interactive" by default

[Q] Dvb

[Q] ipTables

[A] -

[Q] Ntfs

[Q] what about FudgeSwap? it should be available since its Gingerbread...

[A]

4. Installation

[Q] shouldn't be an installation of openAOS faster then running an image?

[A] -

[Q] Can we install it somehow like UD? What about using UD install method for partitioning and then "copy over" system files? Would it work?

[A] -

5. Other

[Q] can we Dualboot UD and openAOS atm? As I need a stable/working rom for daily use but also like to test and help openAOS...

[A] sadly not atm

[Q] When I install Apps - where are they going to? Where is /Data Partition? Inside the image? So will the image get bigger with installing apps?

[A]

[Q] why the heck is the openAOS boot-logo-mirroreffect cut off on my 101? really important :D

[A] ---

6. Fixed Bugs:

[Q] is the 180° bug for the 101 (casued by archos) fixed ?

[A] yes u dont have to tweak it on your own anymore

Well what else can I say.... let's install and find out ;)

Latest Test Release: Bull
