[Gen8 Android Development] marxx:
Finally I got gnome-classic running now. I tried to run the device without any external keyboard, but that turned out to be no go. After I hooked up a bluetooth keyboard I could at last connect to wifi. Next step gnome-session-fallback. On that I found this little howto: http://ricochen.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/switch-to-classic-gnome-menu-in-ubuntu-11-10-how-to/. It is really a lot smoother. Still not very fast, but smoother.

Now I'm staring again at the little screen for the upgrade to 12.04. This will take all night as slow as that progress bar is growing ...

The touchscreen in landscape mode is still not very satisfying. Does anybody have a good working /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf on that?

I hope 12.04 will be a bit faster and smoother in the overall handling. Tomorrow I will know more, hopefully :-)

Greetinx

marxx

Edit: Of course the upgrade failed. I'm stuck now with with a half 12.04 without wifi, without bluetooth and without a working Onboard keyboard. So back to the start, or selling the Archos at Ebay ...

Selling seems the better option for my nervs.

The only positive thing I can see, is that the landscape touchscreen seems to work perfectly under 12.04. That does not help me much, when Onboard won't work, but it could be the reason not the sell the Archos :-)

Is there an existing 12.04 image somewhere for download available?

Is this tablet good? I think I may buy one, and dual boot ubuntu/android 4.0.3.
[Gen8 Android Development] grim-a101:
I don't think that ICS can be installed.
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
hi, sorry to bump this old thread, but i really need some help, i think im a bit idiot, but i really cant make this to work on my archos 101it, i downloaded the boot from mmcblk0p1 kernel, formated my sdcard to ext3 and copyed all the contents of the 2 files on the sdcard, eyther by terminal, eyther by file manager, eyther by windows file manager and i just cant get it to work, what am i doing wrong, im trying to boot it whit kboot, also i usd root explorer to create a new empty file named initramfs.cpio.gz, can someone give me any advice, or any files that would make it boot, i would try the internal memory method, but i allready have 4 partitions on it......
[Gen8 Android Development] grim-a101:
Look at the messages on the screen, it's surely a wrong root partition number.

Unfortunatly, as has said CalcProgrammer1

You'll need to recompile the kernel from CalcProgrammer1 git. (You may try the .cmdline file in kboot, but if I recall well, it doesn't work. Well, it does work, but archos kernel doesn't really use this parameter)
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
thanks for the reply, i tryed the cmdline thing but no luck, and im unsure how find out the real mount poin of the ext3 partition, also isnt there any way to just decompile and recompile the kernel as we can do for boot.img files on phones, im too lasy to build the kernel........?

EDIT: also i get no messages on the screen, after i chose the ubuntu entry in kboot i just get stuck at a multi colored screen
[Gen8 Android Development] grim-a101:
This is typically a wrong compiled kernel (well, with bugged compiler), maybe you could try another one (even if the root path is wrong, you should see the list of the available partitions on the kernel messages on screen)
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
ok, il try an other, but cant this also be caused by the initramfs.cpio.gz file i made, i made in root explorer, maybe you could tell me how to make the empty initramfs file so il be sure its not cause of it?
[Gen8 Android Development] grim-a101:
I've done it on Ubuntu, with a simple right-click/new document.

Yours should be fine
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
ok, so i did some testing, none of the kernels in the first post work, all of them get stuck at the same multi collored screen, any ideea except compiling my oun kernel, as i dont really know how to do it?

EDIT: ok, so i found a kernel onthe 3rd-4th page that works, but still not booting, if i make you a screenshot can u halp me, also are u sure the cmdline thing doesent work and i have to recompile the kernel?

EDIT2: i get a "kernel panic: -not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance"

EDIT3: i also get a: "EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p1): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended"

thanks if you can help me
[Gen8 Android Development] eymas:
Considering i'm going to use my trusty A43 as a full media/webserver, i'll give this a try.

although there is one issue, the rootfs link in the first post appears to result in a 404.
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
I am currently working on a new rootfs, but with a more light weight desktop manager like enlightenment or lxde (lubuntu). I have also SGX for X working. Gnome or unity is much to heavy for this device with only 256mb. However still some work todo before a release.

BTW I am not using the kernel from CalcProgrammer, but my own build from nicktimes kernel sources release. http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/Gen8Linux2.6.37#HowtoinstallMeegoUbuntuBodhiimage

When I am done there will also be a guide on howto build the image yourself with rootstock on the openaos wiki.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] eymas:
Aha.

I wonder what Ubuntu Phone will need.
[Gen8 Android Development] divx118:
Too much ram memory needed. It never run smooth on gen8 with 256mb. I already looked at the specs, before starting with regular ubuntu.

divx118
[Gen8 Android Development] eymas:
Ok, so i tried to install this with the available methods.

Issue #1: Rootfs is unavailable thanks to a 404.

Issue #2: booting results in a blank screen(Black)

I have an 8GB sd card formatted to ext3, so i used the appropriate image.
[Gen8 Android Development] eymas:
Could you re-upload the rootfs image perhaps?

[LG Optimus 3D] xtian63:
if i can sell my O3D for a decent price why not
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
Same phone. No point. Waiting for htc one x or galaxy s3 then ditching this.
[LG Optimus 3D] zodanh2102:
I'm too.
[LG Optimus 3D] ishma:
I'm not a diehard fan of LG and I don't think the 3d max is worth to buy.

but yes, I'm "a tech savvy fan who loves 3D technology" :D

maybe if the next month or year 3d phone with monster spec come out, I definitely bought it. :p

right now I think my O3D is doing just fine.. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Trekfan422991:
I like that its thinner and has 1gb ram.... but I don't think that justifies me getting one.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
[LG Optimus 3D] Gerrett:
I will buy the LG x4 .. didnt need a thinner O3D ..

[LG Optimus 3D] johnko1:
It's just the same phone,with an overclocked processor and better screnn...
[LG Optimus 3D] deox91:
me too..

LG? never again
[LG Optimus 3D] TylDurden:
It'll be out with GB before our phone gets it. I think you'd have to be crazy to buy it though. I have been sorely burned by LG this time. The fact that it's releasing with GB instead of ICS is just a repeat of how our phones launched with Froyo instead of GB.
[LG Optimus 3D] pdkenji:
3D max is basically same as evo 3D ..

I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?zsfi3p
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
If LG swaps it free with my O3D then only I will get it otherwise never LG phone.

I'd rather trade my O3D and pick up Galaxy SIII.
[LG Optimus 3D] alankstiyo:
it was my first and last LG phone, bought it cause my x10 died lol, but no won't buy it, so few more months and will get an xperia S, which has better specs (except for the sd card slot) and can take 3d panorama pics, so I'm in
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
Not buying one until I see what other 3D phones are announced this year, at worst I will get one after it gets updated to ICS.

I'm definitely "tech-savvy who loves 3D"...and the 3D Game Converter from LG is a must-have IMO, I hope a competitor can offer something superior though
[LG Optimus 3D] altair95:
But i think you must try o4x hd :)
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
LG has some of the best hardware but is by far the worst when it comes to the software of their phones.

O3D is their flagship phone at the moment but its performance is not quite as convincing as other dual-cores, mainly due to the bad software implementation. Not to mention, the fiasco with the ghost calls issue which is a huge embarrassment for a company the size of LG.

But even if LG had the best software in the world, it wouldn't be any reason to get the new O3D Max which has almost the same specifications like the old O3D. They could have at least increased the screen resolution in order to see less pixelated picture in 3D mode.
[LG Optimus 3D] alankstiyo:
I used to complain about SE x10 software it was laggy but they mature after a while and now it's cool, i'll get the xperia s,

indeed o3d has an incredible awful software, sometimes wifi crashes and the phone overheats, ram usage is high, sometimes i have like 70mb free

maybe lg will do a better job next time
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxluver:
I'll buy the updated model. Yes.

The only other serious 3D contender to date has been the HTC Evo 3D and having tried both I think the LG phone is the better 3D phone. The display is better at displaying 3D stills and video. The updated Gingerbread camera(s) are good.

A faster model with more RAM would be awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

2D-only phones are dead to me.
[LG Optimus 3D] relnor:
2D-only phones are dead to me.

[LG Optimus 3D] xstokerx:
i could just overclock my thrill and it would be the same phone as this one wtf lg weres the real hardware upgrades

the lg x4 on the other hand with ics outta the box that im interested in
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Agreed 100%. LG never again, just if they send me it for free. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Division11:
Doesn't matter if it have 4.0 Ghz 8-core processor, 4 Gb RAM and 41 mpx cam, 4D,etc.

I will NEVER buy another LG phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
Hmm... I want that 1GB RAM. 512MB seem not enough.
[LG Optimus 3D] alankstiyo:
not even having 6gb on a pc is enough xD
[LG Optimus 3D] iBluemind:
1GB RAM and 1.2 GHz CPU is good...

But.. It almost same as Optimus 3D..
[LG Optimus 3D] webgelato:
As always, i wont decide to buy an other phone without having tested by myself with my own hands. I liked the sgs2 on the paper but in hands I disliked the crazy colors screen and the angular feeling. I went for the o3d and I found nothing I can't do with it. The difference on performance is only in benchmark.

I can deal not to have the latest firmware. The gc issue is a real one but I know by experience that no manufacturer is making perfect phones.

I really like the 3d, so if it feels good in my hand I will go for it.

By the way in its resolution, have you notice that the O3d has one of the best screen?
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
No Nein Non Laa Ne Na Nee Ei Nah Ohi Nem Nei Nie
[LG Optimus 3D] kampfbestie:
Full hd 3d Display quad core 2gb RAM and ics than i would buy LG again

Hope more 3d phones comes this year
[LG Optimus 3D] Rho'd Berth:
I'm very happy with my O3D.

I don't care about the delayed gingerbread or ICS. What matters to me is that my phone does what it must do. And it's doing quite a good job of that. I'm not a "What version is running" guy. I won't upgrade my laptop to windows 8 the moment it's being released either.

But the 512 MB is not enough on our phone and during Full HD or 3D filming it lags too much. That sucks. for the rest it's a good phone.

It seems like the Max is going to be what this phone should have been.

But it's not good enough to run to the store for. It's unbelievable that they don't release a HD screen phone, 4,7", full HD 3d recording. This is too much like the O3D vanilla.

Next phone must be a 3D phone again. I love making 3D movies/pictures. So let's hope that Samsung will indeed release the Galaxy s 3d.

Otherwise I'll have to wait 1 more year for the next LG 3D phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] kampfbestie:
Found this in the WWW

Samsung Galaxy S3D

The features that are spoken AMOLED screen HD Super Plus 4.6 "and 1,280 by 720 pixel resolution, 319 dpi density and 3D, Ice Cream Sandwich, Exynos processor 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, version HSPA or LTE, Wi-Fi, DLNA, NFC or Bluetooth, USB, TV output and at least 8megapíxeles camera with HD recording at 1080p.

If that is true i know what to buy :-)
[LG Optimus 3D] edehahn:
I already switched to Galaxy Nexus and my O3D is just a 3D-cam now (at least this functionality is working)

So no need at all for more RAM or CPU and for sure never again a smartphone from LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] kriptikchicken:
Minimal change... so NO.

A bit more memory (woo-pee-doo)

Slightly lighter - if I can lift 100's of Kgs in the gym I can handle the extra 10 odd grams of the original O3D
[LG Optimus 3D] guillefs:
The improvement in RAM probably results in a very good cell.

I have an acquaintance who already had the pleasure to get their hands on the 3D max.
[LG Optimus 3D] sc0use:
i personally wont be buying one maybe a galaxy s3 :p
[LG Optimus 3D] cassianog:
LG never again!

Optimus 3D was my first LG and will be the last. A phone which doesn't receive calls (ghost call issue) would be comic if it wasn't tragic.
[LG Optimus 3D] kavirz:
Will consider it

I have read the last 4 pages about people not liking the O3D. This is the first LG phone for me, and i've been loving it. The software at first has been a bit on the slow side, but after rooting and installing Thiaiz's 2.6.1 rom, the phone is really quick.

Maybe its just a personal choice, but at the time of purchase, it was either the O3D or HTC, and i hate HTC:p.

If the phone is giving problems, wither change the ROM to a better and faster version, or send it in for fixing. I think its a perfect phone and with a good new software, its makes it totally awesome.

Hope nobody shoots me down for my comments.:eek:
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
You have to understand most users on XDA aren't your average phone user.

We go beyond the normal usage given to a phone. That's the point of this entire board.

The biggest issue with O3D is the ghost calls. It's a very serious one.

If this is solved, then I will FINALLY be able to say the phone is flawless. Until then, and having the phone for the past 7 months, it has been problems on top of problems.

LG just sucks software-wise as most guys here will tell you.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
I had the same opinion about the phone until I upgraded to Gingerbread and I started experiencing the infamous ghost-calls issue. Unfortunately if you "change the ROM to a better and faster version, or send it in for fixing" it doesn't solve the problem.

No matter how good/fast/powerful O3D (or any phone) is, it is a piece of junk when it can't function first and most as a... phone. It is simple as that.

From what you are saying on your post, I suppose that you haven't experienced (or better, noticed) ghost calls. But I'm sure that your opinion will change when, for example, some friend/relative knocks on your door saying "I was been calling you for 2 days and couldn't reach you. I thought that something bad happened to you". There are people all around this and other forums that lost very important calls because of the ghost-calls issue.

Personally, I never experienced such an issue in any of my phones, from my 15 years old Nokias to the latest smartphones. And the worst is not the issue itself, it's the inability and the indifference of LG to fix it in a prompt manner.

http://www.postpc.gr/article/lg-optimus-3d-max-hands
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
LOL! The last screenshot shows that the brand new 3D max has the same baseband version like the old O3D. Yes, the same baseband that causes all those problems with ghost calls.

Of course it could be a different baseband with the same name but I seriously doubt it given the extremely bad software development of LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
event the hardware doest upgrade properly. ╮(╯_╰)╭

don't event think about the baseband
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
No Thank You..

What if it also has Ghost Calls issues.Nobody knows and even if it doesnt LG is capable to upgrade it just like our O3D and mess it up.

Quad core 1.8ghz proccessor

Ram:unkown(probably 1gb or more)

8mm thin(25% thinner tham GS2)

Screen possibly larger than 720p and probably on a 4.6" display

I dont know if these specs are correct im just quoting him but if it is this is my next phone

Recovery mode?

Thanks for the update file.

But my Samsung galaxy Y pro duos is not entering into recovery mode.

Vol Up+Home+Power combination is not working.

I have tried Vol UP/DOWN+HOme+Power also but the device

does not enter recovery mode. Till the buttons are pressed the device

boot up remains halted. Once I release power button the device boots

normally.

Pls help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsvif:
Working for me!:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amolpingle:
How?

Great to know that. but how?

Pls tell me the exact sequence you employed.

I am pressing first Vol UP and then Home button

and while keeping these pressed I am pressing

power button. Samsung model number is flashed

for few seconds and then screen goes blank and

remains blank unless I release the power button.

Once I release the power button the phone boots

normally. Pls help.

hi

if i root with this method, and then hard reset my device then will i have to root it again or it will remain rooted after hard reset.

is there any method of unrooting?

explain me some details of the risk involved in rooting, i have purchased the phone last week and dont want to loose it so early. can i brick my phone while rooting?

is it possible to fix the bricked phone?

thank you in advance, and sorry to ask too many questions, but i am new to android.

i have flashed many symbian phones with CFW but in symbian i can always restore original FW if the CFW didnt work or something went wrong. I am learning android please help me...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dr.ketan:
If you follow any instruction to the letter, there won't be a chance of bricking

You can unroot any time by flashin a stock ROM.

It is weired but i can't get into recovery mode in my friend's device

Does any indian user confirm two button works to enter recovery(Home + Power)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abbas:
Press and hold volume up and home button and then press (don't hold!) power.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dr.ketan:
I think corrupt recovery, already tried 2 n 3key combination, nothing works
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abbas:
You need to press the home key LIGHTLY. Pressing too hard will press the adjacent key/s. I had the same issue, but once I learnt to press the home key lightly it works consistently all the time.

You said in your first post "I modified this update.zip file for Galaxy y pro ...". Could you please give me a link or post the original update zip for the Galaxy y pro (not your modified one for the duos), please?

thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fa_chocolate:
thanx a ton Abbas, tried all possible methods till i read ur advise and it worked in one strike, appreciate it.

Thank you once again.

For the benefit of other members who are trying a factory reset if you have forgotten the password, once you get into the recevoery mode you will be prompted for a password again. Do not worry, enter incorrect password 3-4 times before you get a warning for a factory reset by the system, click on yes and you are back to your new phone (of course if you do not have your data backed up, it will be lost) Also, please ensure to remove your sd card before the factory reset to avoid loss of data.

Hope this helps all.

Hi Dr ketan,

did you get success in rooting galaxy y pro duos?
