I don't know if it works with kboot, the kernel is based on CM7 kernel, if it works with it i think that yes!!

Touchscreen for A70S doesn't work (except if it uses Hanvon TS, it must work now), yes and i need a full log to fix it if i can (without tab it's very difficult).

You have a harddrive version, that's the pb, there is no error who permit me to fix it ATM.

I will pm you and see it later. :(

Edit: i have seen that all your log is cut, can you remake it with a more larger terminal (or more little char.) to have all lines

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
the last thing that I see when I boot is some cyano guy who is traveling in space. Do I have to wait longer or its the unlock screen and my touchscreen isnt working?

EDIT: Rename your data.img to something else.

EDIT2: Can u help me run adb successfully, I've tried many times with guides but it was not for gen8 and I couldnt make it run. I really wanna join.

EDIT3: It booted. The touchscreen on A70S is working only at the upper left side (I can pull down the statusbar and enable/disable wifi). Nothing else is working on touchscreen. Hope it helps you cuz I cant run adb.
[Gen8 Android Development] arkade91:
Bootloop :(
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
/!\ To make a report /!\

YOU DON'T USED ADB.. JUST MINICOM (adb cannot worked with this initramfs.cpio.gz, don't change it if you want adb, i have another version without serial debug)

I don't think that rename data.img is usefull:

look the init.rc:

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/system

# mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data nosuid nodev
# mount ext4 loop@/mnt/storage/data.img /data nosuid nodev

data.img is not mount :) i used only data folder IN the image.

I need a log to see what's appened, i will retry my rom upload when i will be at home

If you have any linux machine you can try to see if there are crash errors when you mount the image in the data folder and tombstones folder

To mount image file enter:

mount -o loop /media/A70S/openaos-cm.img /mnt/

look the path of your tab, maybe it's not the same.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
More usefull with a log please.

Thanks

[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I dont have a linux machine. Is there any tutorial "how to set up minicom" or what is it?
[Gen8 Android Development] Ranomez:
bootlooping for about 10 mins on a101it using kboot, is it related to kboot i wonder, anyway il see if i can pull logs later, right now i got to go somewhere?
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
I can expand the terminal window, but I already changed the profile for unlimited scrolling. The entire log as it was recorded should be there. I can produce another one with a maximized terminal window if that will help. Log attached.

Your best bet if you want to get serious on testing and debug is to install a linux distro. Since android was born from linux, it's much easier to get the work done from a linux platform. Your best best would be to used an Ubuntu based distro, like Ubuntu or it's variants, or Linux Mint. If you use that, I can give you instructions on what you need to get rolling. PM me if you are interested in doing that.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Yes I am interested in installing Linux. Anyway I found something. On A70S the TS seems to be miss calibrated, I entered settings and enabled the cursor (something that displays my touch direction) and it seems like its miss calibrated for a bigger screed or bigger resolution. Hope it helps.
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
PM sent. Let me know if you have further questions.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok i go home and i will try another thing this evening (launcher pb??)

Wait and see.

I put my log how i like it :)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
It is not related to kboot I think, i have A70S with kboot and the only difference between them both is the large screen that 101 has.
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
As promised, here are 5 more boot logs for you. the fifth log is with the kernel patch. The log does look a bit different, but the end result is the same, bootloop.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Well if i understand well, you have the same pb:

When i screen off and screen on the tab, TS do not respond!??

Like guanfy, have you got any boot loop that i haven't? (see if you have data.img on the root of SDCARD)

I haven't this pb with my tab :s My TS respond all the time.

I need a log (from the begininng) with screen on/screen off, to see what's append.

For Guanfy, i see one thing anormal:

D/EventHub( 1359): No input device configuration file found for device 'UNITEC USB Touch (Win7)'.
D/EventHub( 1359): No input device configuration file found for device 'UNITEC USB Touch (Win7)'.

You haven't configuration file for TS, can you see the files in /system/usr/idc/ and give me the names of files please?

Your TS must be similar like a mouse, am I right?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
The two times I managed to get it to boot, the TS did behave like a mouse. Had a circle cursor and had to be dragged about. I'll mount and dig into the image in a bit. I'm in windows right now, and all my dev stuff is in linux.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
With file manager, you can see all files :)

I see that all services died at the end of the boot....

Is this bug here since i have make a patch in inputreader.cpp (v0.4) or was in others version of my ROM?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
I would check the other boot logs that i've posted, but it's the same result everytime since I started testing for you. It will boot, some processes will die, they will try to restart, then it locks into the bootloop.

***

Perhaps I'm a bit dense, but how do you view a disc image file from a file manager? I can't find one that can open it correctly.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Yes, i haven't think before post it :) my tab works, not yours, i have forgotten this little point ^^

I have an idea, can you change the line in build.prop, if i remember well i had the same pb when i had changed the buid.prop:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m or 48m (it's 256 for my tab).

I think that dalvik crash all apps.

(pull it with adb and push it after modification= > reboot to see if it works.)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Can you make a video?
[Gen8 Android Development] Vazay:
Yes, there was a bootloop. No data.img at all.

Got some strange problems with adb/fastboot/whatever after ubuntu update (10.04 -> 12.04). If I'll get it fixed, i will upload the logs.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok i will make another image fully cleaned for A101 and A70S or re upload its.

Since which Rom version have you got this problem (bootloop)?

Have you got already boot one time perfectly?

Rom Image works well on my tab.

Make a video of what?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Vazay:
It was always there, since v0.0.

EDIT: minicom is working :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Ok, tried it with the modded build.prop and the outcome was the same. One thing I have noticed is that often towards the end of the logcat, I see that the launcher process has died. I wonder if that has something to do with it? Log attached below.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Yes minicom works all the time, that is the reason that i want you (everybody) used it. ;)

....

<4>E/ALSALib ( 1277): external/alsa-lib/src/control/control.c:902:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL AndroidOut

It lakes sound file configuration, that i have include yesterday on Rom :)

Are you sure that is the v0.4 Image?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Vazay:
Oops, downloaded it before you have updated your links in the post. Downloading the real 0.4 right now.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I will try many solution, there are lots of explications for this bug.

I go home now.

There was a pb with first link posted, it pointed on v0.3 :) it's not your fault, my fault, but mediafire fault :)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] joaoalex:
Hi bizcuite,

My device is a101 and it only works with kernel of page 1, zImage_PATCH_A70S_TEST_V2.zip

But the TS works very well. The position of screen is wrong but with auto rotation in off, works well.

The wifi have some problems, at every connect the mac adress is different.

thanks very much
[Gen8 Android Development] Vazay:
Ok, got "bootloop". Log is attached. It's just stuck in minicom and bootanimation looping.

EDIT: Attached normal boot log with screen off issue
[Gen8 Android Development] arkade91:
Could we have the "initramfs" with the screen orientation fixed for archos 101 it? I do not know how to use ADB :( Otherwise the touchscreen works very good, thanks ! :)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
A

Thanks a lot Joaoalex have you install initramfs minicom or adb version?

Ok, for guys who have bootloop. have you installed initramfs with adb or minicom.

To All who have bootloop: can you try with first kernel and initramfs MINICOM ONLY.

Erase your image of CM9 and reinstall it on sdcard root.

I will erase initramfs ADB version because i dislike it ATM (minicom debug is more complete)and i want that we used the same base, to avoid any problem due to a bad install.

Forget all that i said on init.rc in the last post.

I think that's a installation pb (initramfs ADB version or kernel pb)

Effectively there is a pb with mac adress, thanks to you Joao. I haven't see this before :D but wifi works well ;)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Of the rom.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
If you have an Archos tab you can install it ^ ^ make your own video yourself. And if you haven't any Archos, i don't know why you want a video :D

If you want i can make a video, but, i think it's a little useless (even if the principal elements works correctly on my tab, sensor, video, TS, sound, wifi, 3D....it's not ready for daily used ATM, it's that i mean).

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] joaoalex:
initramfs minicom, with adb sometimes doesn't boot
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I hope a confirmation, but initramfs ADB version is the cause of bootloop.

TO ALL: DOESN'T FORGOT ONE THING!!

WHEN YOU HAVE MINICOM VERSION, AND START THE TAB CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER AND MINICOM NOT STARTS ON COMPUTER, YOUR TAB CAN'T BOOT :D

I have made a video, i will see to upload it on youtube.

Bizcuite.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STRYfi4JLzM&feature=youtu.be

Upload is in progress, be patient (100minutes when i click "submit")

I have take this video with my sgs1, it's not a video for Oscar nomination.

My daughters and my wife are immortalized now :cool::angel: lol

I have said at my wife:"don't put an image of me on Facebook, you will regret it ^^'"... it's done :)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Is there any users who have bootloop has tried to install initramfs minicom version to see if it works correctly?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I'm setting up the kboot now since I reformatted my device to localize the problem.

EDIT: Do I need to install stock OS like OpenAOS's Bull?

EDIT2: Looks weird but it bootlooped again.

EDIT3: I saw on your video that when the bootlogo comes (the cyano guy in space) u see cyanogenmod9 at the upper right corner and the cyano guy is in full-size, its not like that on my tab. Weird again.
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
If you have an A70 it's normal, your screen is 800x480, but it's not very important ATM, if you find a bootlogo of CM9 for 800x480, share me it. :)

Can you resume which files who has installed please?

Initramfs first page? kernel first page?

I don't know why there is a bootloop and sometimes it boot correctly.... :silly:

Just Guanfy has said about of bootloop at the beginning of the thread. I was very surprised when you have said that there was bootloop....

And bootloop since first version...

to Joaoalex: have you got any bootloop with initramfs Minicom version?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I was using minicom initramfs and kernel from the 1st page (2nd post) like u have adviced. Maybe I've done something incorrect so lets wait for somebody else to report too. 1 bad report could be just individual fault, 2 and more are bad news.
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Actually I kinda have some issues with booting too... (101it - stuck on the bootscren)

I only make it boot once (don't remember what I did particularly that time) with 0.1

I've tried all the others but I might have made some mistakes because I'm don't have that much time those days...

Using kboot with (or without) data.img

What do you guys have ?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I haven't install kboot on my tab..maybe it's the reason of bootloop.

Joaoalex, which tab have you got and have you kboot on your tab?

And do your tab work well all the times?

Mavasilisk: have you kboot always install when yourun ICS?

Bizcuite.
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Where I have to put init.rc file?

A70S.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

Ok, I have installed the rom on my A70S.

But It works in smartphone mode. Is it caused by DPI ? How can i change them ?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Directly in the rom :)

Don't used others init.rc, or says it if you modify anything... you risk to have others bugs that you have generate.

If you want to try anything you can try this. Edit the init.rc in the image directly or OS if you have rootexplorer.

Just put # where i have done.

service servicemanager /system/bin/servicemanager
class core
user system
group system
critical
# onrestart restart zygote
# onrestart restart media
# onrestart restart surfaceflinger
# onrestart restart drm

service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
class main
socket zygote stream 660 root system
# onrestart write /sys/android_power/request_state wake
# onrestart write /sys/power/state on
# onrestart restart media
# onrestart restart netd

And reboot to see if you have bootloop again.

Please Minicom report...it's very important to have all log even if I can't see any service starts like with adb logcat

Bizcuite

FYI: if you want mount the image to modify it, just tape with root rights in a terminal: mount -o loop /path of the image /mnt (create /mnt if it doesn't exist before)
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Ok, I've installed the rom without touching init.rc file.

What do you mean with "direcly in the rom" ?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Which init.rc do you want touch? the alone init.rc that i used is in the image (Rom)

if you have linux, mount the image file and see at the root. You have the init.rc file that i speak about.

Or see it directly when you used my ICS with the file manager in the root of system.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
Umh.. I don't have the virtual buttons! Why?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
About soft button.

ATM I don't know why you have this problem again.... you are the second. I must resolve problems one by one. I will be lost else.

Have you installed kboot?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
The ways that I've tried to boot it:

1. I had kboot with Uruk1.6.2 / OpenAOS Bull / CM9 (the first time it booted with the first release and it was bootlooping with the next releases as well as the first one when I try it again)

2. Tried all the kernels and initramfs that you've posted with kboot installed.

3. Flashed kernel and initramfs without kboot

4. Uninstalled SDE and reformatted device. Installed SDE, updated stock OS, flashed the kernel files

5.Installed kboot and tried with kernel files that u've recommended.

Result: bootloop remains. The cyano dude just doesnt want to go away. Anyway, while its traveling in space the animation flashesh once (I've seen this when I had problems with data.img in OpenAOS and UrukDroid, so take a look at it. In UrukDroid it is fixed by rescue menu and wiping Dalvik Cache.)

To minidou-77 : Kboot will not fix the problem, I had kboot installed the first time I booted CM9 and I cant boot it now (same problem as you), so having kboot or not there is no difference and its not causing the bootloop problem (its my experience by the many tried I've made). Kboot is just a way to boot multiple OSes on your device.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Many thanks for this information, i have never installed kboot and don't know how it works, i will see it later.

I want try to modify init.rc and removed all lines useless, and removed options. it can may the cause of bootloop. i have never cleaned it since i have boot for first time.

I have a question to all: Is the first boot passing without problem? And is the boot aleatory?

I go to bed, i am too tired!

Bizcuite.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Hi Bizcuite,

Following your thread from the start and I'd like to jump into the ICS adventure.

Few questions before because it's not fully clear in my head:

Should I remove Bull currently installed on my 101?

I suppose that pre-requesites to install your ROM is to have SDE installed?

Thanks for clarifications :)

Great Job!
[Gen8 Android Development] darren1:
Sounds like the bottom of screen might be cut off?
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Here are some logs with minicom again. 1st log is with modded build.prop. 2nd log is with completely stock v.4 image.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
What have you modify in build.prop?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Hi guy.

Just copy/paste the image and install kernel and initramfs. Renamed the data.img and that's all.

You can have both all systems. It's the same thing than bullRC installation

For darren. You can try to deleted the bootlogo in system/media folder.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Earlier in the thread you asked me to modify my build.prop file. In particular, you asked me to modify the vm.heapsize to either 32M or 48M if I remember correctly. I had modified it to 32M.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Can you revert back and try the modification that i said on last page in init.rc please?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Ok. What I can do is edit the init.rc of a image while mounted on my desktop, then dump that .img onto my tab. Can't edit it on the fly or with adb since it's not booting. I'll report back with a log when I'm done.

**EDIT**

Log now attached.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
The method that i used to edit my image.

I connect the tab on computer, go to sde and mount storage.

I mount directly the image on the tab by this way:

Mount -o loop /media/A70s/openaos-cm.img /mnt and edit in mnt folders all i want.

Umount /mnt when finished

Prepare another terminal to start minicom. Restart the tab and report log :p.

For a better view, you can start nautilus with root rights. It's better for edit image.

I hope this help beginers in linux.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
I use the sudo nautilus method to do the editing. If gnome 2 were still around you could just directly open the folder as root, but nobody uses that anymore... I am sure that mate will add the features eventually.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Guanfy can you post in attchment all files in /data/tombstones/ please? There are lots of informations in its.

Thanks in advanced
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
/data/tombstones is located on the image yes?
[Gen8 Android Development] minidou-77:
Yes I know. That wasn't what I meant ^^

I just said that I was using it and I have bootloops:)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Yes, when i mount the image under linux, i see its.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Best that I can see, I do not have a /data/tombstones. My path is /root/data.
[Gen8 Android Development] -Mirko185-:
I also have these problems.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
It's not normal. If you have mounted well the image with your computer. You must in the image mounted path /data/tombstones. I will make a screenshot of my root of the image and data folder.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
To mount image files

root@bizcuite-laptop:/media/_home2/bizcuite/CM9# mount -o loop /media/A70S/openaos-cm.img /mnt/

Guanfy looks folders composed my image in attachment files.

Can somebody confirm me that data folder is empty or not exist? (you must mount image file like me on a computer)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
I checked your screenshots Biz, and I'm in the right place. I do not have a tombstones folder. I do have a data folder, and the data folder has a data folder, if that means anything.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Maybe.

<4>W/AppWidgetService( 1368): Failed to read state: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/appwidgets.xml: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It is on your log.

You will try a thing for me.

edit init.rd and add:

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
[B]# mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/system[/B] add a #

# mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data nosuid nodev
[B] mount ext4 loop@/mnt/storage/data_ICS.img /data nosuid nodev[/B] change the line

download attachment and uncompress it to your root of sdcard (like data.img of CM7)

And try to reboot. I think that will be ok.

If anybody can make me a report.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Still not booting. Log attached below.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Have you try this from a cleaned image?

Can you retry with a new image not already booted.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Will try and get back to you with a log.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Can you try with this init.rc please?

I have cleaned it and let essentials services.

Init.rc ok, i have tryes it with cleaned image.

I have remove wifi services and bluetooth (and others)

There is no bootlogo, please BE PATIENT ON FIRST BOOT and see minicom if you see any died service or other.

To all if you want try it to help me to fix bootloop (only with linux computer):

-download all files in attachment and HAVE A CLEANED IMAGE OF MY CM9

-uncompress init.rc

-Only if you have A101, please edit the file and just find and modify like this:

# Disable rotation of touchscreen and sensor for 101

write /sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180 Y

write /sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180 N

-power on your tab and go to sde menu

-mount the image file like this: mount -o loop /<path_of_imagecleaned> /<folder_to_mount>

-Replace the original init.rc by this download here.

-open the folder of tab, to put data_ICS.img (uncompress the download file) and the cleaned image v0.4 on the root of the sdcard (like CM7 with data.img)

-umount <folder to mount>

-remove safely your tab and restart with minicom

please start minicom when the screen of the OS list appears!!

Thanks for all

FYI i recompiled fully another image with user option (actually is in enginee)

I have removed options in boardconfig.mk not essential to have a functionnal image.

Maybe there will have any good effect with yours tabs.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] joaoalex:
hi,

This image is very fast but without wifi. Can we make one with wifi.

I send an attach with adb/logcat log

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
OK! Finally got a boot out of this one. Here is a log of the boot for reference.

**EDIT**

I've gotten it to boot several times now, which is good. I've noticed that sometimes it crashes during the boot process and restarts. I've had one time where the TS cursor never showed up and everytime I let the screen power off, it powers back on with no TS control. Sometimes I have the weird popping noise, sometimes I don't.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok, you haven't bootloop now? is it really ok this time?

If yes i will remake another image with this init.rc and data_ICS.img and put wifi services.

Guanfy for your TS it lakes a file. I put it in the new version of image.

Bizcuite
