[Gen9 Android Development] hitman72:
hi, I have stock 3.2.78 (Archos 101 g9 8gb) and I am trying to instal this roted version. But in recovery, when I click on "developer edition menu" I have Endless loop of boot into white screen... I have made all steps (root, sde) through dos prompt. I can only reflash stock version of firmware. please help! sorry for my poor engish
[Gen9 Android Development] blogmaw:
Hi,

You should boot in recovery mode (last option of boot options), the last option should be SDE options, then select flash kernel and connect your tablet to your computer. In the archive you downloaded, there are two other files : zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz

You need to copy these two files into the drive that appeared (ARCHOS_REC or something like that). On your tablet click ok, the kernel should flash and your tablet should reboot. :)
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
No, he can't do this , take a look here : "But in recovery, when I click on "developer edition menu" I have Endless loop of boot into white screen" - Strange !!!
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Hitman,

To clarify things, your bootloop is when you try to enter developer edition menu to flash the initramfs and kernel or when you try to boot it ?

Could you give more details with the exact labels of menu entries you're following ?

Thanks,

LeTama
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
@blogmaw

For change bootanimation you need copy bootanimation.zip into /data/customization/ ....I know customization directory it is not into data ...just

>adb shell

/# cd data

/# mkdir customization

/# exit

>adb push bootanimation.zip /data/customization/

Good luck !

( If you think this information was useful, do not forget to press "THANKS".....)
[Gen9 Android Development] blogmaw:
I think he just booted without flashing : I had the same issue with a black screen because the files didn't flash correctly.
[Gen9 Android Development] hitman72:
hi and thank you for support. My steps: I root the table, I install sde (?), from prompt dos I launch the script "enable_sde", seems all ok. I remove root. I copy ext4 firmware on tablet via adb. Now I restart the table pressing "power" + "volume -" and in recovery I have new item called "developer edition menu", I go on this item with "volume button" and I select it with "power button". The table restarts! Archos logo appears for a while and table restarts again. I have endless reboots. If I switch off the tablet and restart it in recovery, now I have no extra item in recovery (no more "developer edition menu" ?!?!?) and I can reflash original firmware through recovery. On other Android phones I'm used to doing everything through amora/clockwork recovery, I now understand that this tablet is relatively new and the steps are more complicated. Thank you again
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Hi Hitman72,

Ok, from what you describe, you don't get the "boot menu" when you boot to recovery after sde installation ?

I updated first post with pictures, can you check it and tell me

Do you see the 5) picture after enabling sde ?

The boot loop is on 5) picture or 9) picture ?
[Gen9 Android Development] hitman72:
hi, but after reboot (point n.3), goes tablet automatically in screen of point n.4? Or have to use "power" + "volume control -"? Using recovery combination my table goes directly in screen of point n.5 (i haven't screen of point n.4), and then it reboots if I choose "Developer Edition Menu". Now I do not have a table here, within 1 hour, I tried again. thank you
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Yes you're right, you need power+vol plus. If you go directly to 5, SDE enabling went wrong.

Could you try to enable it again and get me the log? Check my posts in the thread here for instructions. Nadrian's log at the end shows one that went well.
[Gen9 Android Development] hitman72:
EDIT: WORKS!

at the fourth attempt it worked (ext4 firmware)! After removing the root and before reboot, the only thing I changed was disconnect the USB cable from tablet (???). The first thing I did was create the "sysctl.conf" file into /etc/ with the string "net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=1" to disable my ping reply in a lan, but it doesn't work on Android 3.2 (works on android 2.3.x :-( ), pity ;-) Thank you again for their patience and support

Can we get this things kernel to support loop (for Linux chroot) and overclocking?
[Gen9 Android Development] paulbonner:
Letama -- First off, thanks for you efforts on this. It's much appreciated.

Unfortunately, when I tried installing this yesterday I ran into the same problems as hitman72 -- endless boot loop when I chose "Developer Edition Menu". I'm going to retry when I have the chance, but I'd like to use the screen shots in the opening post that you referred to as a sanity check to make sure that things are working at each stage. Unfortunately, the screens are all showing up as broken images at this point. I tried opening the images in a new tab, and received a 403 error with this message from the googleusercontent.com host:

Your client does not have permission to get URL /deiwuiauROgkFAOyAQ49ohaE7hfcsyzgStVzAhYvKmDB6Z3L7yzj1CUsWY6HktuIqRwo1sC-i3NK1oubLkWDCwhbJNYnhGDitmg=w1600 from this server.

Would it be possible for you to zip them up and upload them to the same host as the image download?

Rooted for a Week or 2 ... then logo blink no boot

Hi All!

I successfully rooted (ext4) my Archos G9 and worked (played) with it for like 2 weeks.

Today I was at work and the Tablet just rebooted. After that it showed the Archos logo that blinked after a few seconds and did not boot.

Had to flash stock firmware again to get it back. Has this happened to anyone?

I should say that last week I removed the Android system so I could only boot to developer ... but have booted several times since then with no problem whatsoever ... but today ... :( This is the second time it's happening (last time I didn't remove Android), the first time I thought I did something wrong ... but now I have been careful and I don't think it's me.

Now I'm in stock (and not liking it) can someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Nuno
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Hi Nuno,

Well, that's interesting...

I presume this is with the ext4 build ? If you saw the system reboot, it could be a kernel or Android crash, and if it's a kernel crash, it could have corrupted the ext4 image.

If it's possible, it would be interesting to see if the system boots up to the point that you can some logcat details:

Just do adb logcat on your pc, it should say waiting for device, try to boot it and see if it shows something. If you have something, could you copy it here so I can take a look ?

I'd try also a fsck on the image file to see if it shows error.

You can also try reflashing the build kernel+initrd in recovery but I really doubt it would fix anything.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Firmware update!

letama, you up to the challenge?
[Gen9 Android Development] hoodred:
I tried both version and they both for some reason break camera connection on Skype and Google talk. I uninstall and reinstall Skype so many times and still unable to connect to camera.

I downgrade the firmware and Skype video call work.

Is there any work around or the new firmware released yesterday will fix this
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Sure. It will have to wait a bit though, new toy has priority for now and my g9 is back to RMA :(. I'll do it without being able to test, someone will have to confirm that it works.
[Gen9 Android Development] hoodred:
Sure I will be more than happy to test it.

I have one (with broken skype) which I can use.

Hi,

I have root access archos 80 g9 with the firmware here.

I am trying to use an FTDI USB to RS232 converter so i need to install the

ftdi_sio.ko.

i followed those http links android.serverbox.ch/

and

omappedia.orgwiki/L27.G.2_OMAP4_GingerBread_Release_Notes

I have tried compiling it with source code from

git://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen9-kernel.git

and

tool chain:Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-202 for ARM GNU/Linux version.

but i can not do insmod ftdi_sio.ko i get the following error:

” insmod: cannot insert ‘ftdi_sio.ko’: Invalid module format (-1): Exec format error”....

Should i use the source code of the firmware given here? where can i download it from?

can you compile the ftdi_sio.ko and publish it here? or give instructions on how to do it correctly?

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks,
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Hi mailman77,

What does say dmesg ? do you see anything there ?

Usually, it means that kernel version doesn't match module one. It happens usually because the kernel you build has a '*' at the end of version and archos one doesn't have it. I have a patch that takes care of this if you need it, let me know...

Regarding source code of kernel, if you used archos git, you used the best we have now, Archos didn't release source code for any firmware higher than 3.2.69 afaik.
[Gen9 Android Development] mailman77:
Hi letama,

I will see what dmesg says and will write it here.

Yes i have a + at the end of the kernel version in the archos (this is the firmware i got from this forum) so your patch might help,

please post a link to the patch and instruction how to use it.

I think i am also missing the make file with the default archos components to build, when i try to build the default make file with the FTDI added i get error when building all the moduels... i will post the error here later. what i am doing is to build the minimum components required and the FTDI i want.

Thanks,
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Ok, in the meantime, here is the patch:

diff --git a/scripts/setlocalversion b/scripts/setlocalversion

You can apply it manually, it's only adding # to comments the two lines.

Linux configuration is in linux.config at kernel root, you can do "cp linux.config .config" if you're doing a regular build.
[Gen9 Android Development] mailman77:
Hi letama,

here is what the dmesg says:

"[ 320.040832] ftdi_sio: version magic '2.6.35.7++ mod_unload modversions ARMv5 ' should be '2.6.35.7+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '"

I am compiling i wrong? how do i compile to ARMv7?

i use the following commands:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- distclean

make menuconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j4

make modules ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j4

Can you please write the compiling commands?

which make file should i use?

which toolchain should i use?

How do i apply the patch just run is the adb shell?

I am new to linux so sorry for the many questions...

Thanks!

Hi letama,

I have managed to do it, Thanks to you!!!

I was missing the cp linux.config .config command.

I have the driver installed.

Do i need to change the ueventd.rc file?

add the line: /dev/ttyUSB* 0666 root root

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Well, more than that, I don't know, it depends of what you have to do with your driver... ueventd.rc defines ownership and access rights on devices that comes up, here you say root will be owner for ttyUSB and everyone can write to it, so I presume it's ok.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkeye1103:
I am running KL1 rom with a KK5 rooted kernel.

I get about 1 day and a few hours on a full charge with 3g and h+ network activated, some wifi usage but not much.

My problem is that i get between 29-40% usage of battery on android os.

Is that normal?

Is my battery life normal for what i do with the phone?

I turn off what i don't need and what i don't use gps, wifi etc (except for the data connection).

PS: i know it's a smart phone:))

Ps2: i have done a battery calibration, this beeing the result after the calibration.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Sure it's ok...

U have a normal up to good battery life so no stress.

The question because adnroid os:

It just says that u didn't use ur phone soooo much.

People who using phone a lot more often (surfing, playing and so on) have this or more percent on Display.

So it's just and kind of relation: If u use one thin less and other is getting higher....

CHEERS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
To cover this quickly, I'll break it down into three points:

1) you're getting pretty decent battery life; could be better, but a lot of people are getting a lot worse. If you want, PM me and I'll run you through how you can get the most out of your battery - I won't cover it here because it'd be O/T (I think).

2) the Android OS battery issue is

well

documented here, if you'd used the search tool (which, by the way, has just been improved greatly), you'd have seen the plethora of posts relating to said topic. For now, don't worry about it, there's really nothing you can do.

3) the Galaxy S II uses the MAX17042 fuel gauge, and doesn't need calibration. The best you can do is wipe your battery stats every few months (drain battery completely, plug into charger but do not turn on - allow to fully charge, then boot into recovery mode, go to advanced, and select the 'wipe battery stats' option).

Remember, always use the search tool ;)

screamworks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umarian:
Man I use CheckROM v4 with DarkKnight 2.5.2 and life battery is incredibille.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Doesn't matter. Battery life is dependent on literally hundreds of factors, your ROM and kernel don't play the largest part in that. Takeaway note: don't go flashing different ROMs and kernels with the promise of better batter life - yes, some kernels and ROMs might go a bit better than others, but it comes down to a variety of factors including usage environment, usage intensity, installed apps and respective services, etc. etc. etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umarian:
I understood man but i change many roms and I thing the CheckRom with DarkKnight kernel is the best;in my opinion.Sorry for my bad english

PowerVR vs Adreno

android fragmentation? :/

i'm sure its easier to port from ipod/ipad since they are powervr gpu's
[HTC Rezound] jailbird2:
I doubt it's the kind GPU that is the problem (after all the games are written to an API, not to a particular model of GPU!). I have a feeling they all added support for 1184x720 for the GNex, and never added 1280x720 for the Rezound. Since on the GNex, the software buttons steal 96 pixels.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I agree that it's probably a screen resolution problem. Games that work on the thunderbolt don't work...
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Games that work fine in my Droid Charge don't work either.

~John
[HTC Rezound] lomar24:
a lot of the new games have cpu architecture requirements. gameloft's support for the galaxy nexus and not the rezound has to do with the fact that it runs on an nvidia processor. the gnex has an older gpu with plenty of proprietary files and source code which makes it easy to develop for.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Nexus has an omap processor.
[HTC Rezound] falltime:
So is there anything that we can do to get our phones supported?
[HTC Rezound] ministroni:
It's probably because they're tablet optimized. The Nexus is running ICS, which is for both phones and tablets, so it makes sense that it would get them all.

Edit: I have an ICS rom now, and still can't get these games, so it's not that. Nevermind.
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Peggle plays swimmingly!

The EA Scrabble game, on the other hand.... :(
[HTC Rezound] Unreadhyperion:
Anyone find a build.prop edit that actually works? I've tried a couple of modifications tonight but none of them worked. I would imagine if there is a workable build.prod we should be able to download and play till our hearts explode. That is not to say the resolution will be spot on, but it should work! But alas, it is not. Ideas?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
on my Inc, i did the build prop from the galaxy s 2 and it found gameloft games fine and downloaded and even played them... so i played modern combat 3 on the Inc tonight... yeah it was a little slow, but i bet this phone couldbrock it. either way, I bought it because it was cheap and hopefully soon the rezound will be supported.
