Huum. Delete all files (image, data_ICS.img) and restart from begin.

I don't know what's appened, it's the better way for me.

Maybe before try to delete all files in /data/gapp and the line in default.prop.

Put gapp in download folder and reboot 2 times.

Retry with the new image file that i have upload for a101 page 76. (Menubutton is ok by defaut, i have modified the build.prop)
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
I re-download the gapps to test maybe a bad download.

Going to:

Edit default.prop to remove line.

Delete all files in /data/gapp folder

Copy the gapps from external to /mnt/storage/download folder.

Wait for about 5min

Reboot.

Wait again.

Reboot.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
When you have seen in data/gapp have you seen the name of the folder (gapps-ics-20120429-signedremake) or the files (system, optional, META....)?

Biz.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
I saw folders as listed in my previous post, no sign of a gapps-ics folder ;)

---------- Post added 29th December 2012 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 28th December 2012 at 11:55 PM ----------

After second reboot, gapps are there :laugh:
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok, maybe zip is corrupt, try to uncompress it with windows.

If you haven't GApp after the last try, maybe you must restart from a fresh install (deleted and replace the CM9 image file and data_ICS.img)

EDIT: ok, i hope that all app appears on the market :)

I will update the first page tomorrow. go to bed. GN

Biz
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Just configured my account.

Didn't test apps on market, but good point: Superuser and Rom Toolbox lite are asking for update ;)

Edit: I can see a lot of apps in Playstore, don't if everything is there but all I'm looking for is ok :D
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Can you confirm that youtube cannot connect your account?

Biz
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Cuz the software keys with 160 (default) are very tiny and I wanted to try with 128.

EDIT: Bingoig, is it in tablet mode or stil in phone mode?
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
I can confirm yes: An error occured message appears when trying to sign in.

I'm going to remove youtube, I don't need it on the tablet for my use, but if you want me to keep it to perform tests, I can keep it for test purposes ;)

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

Another thing: I'm going to let the tablet live its life for a while as I think it needs to settle a little in order to build everything. It's a little laggy sometimes. And I had 3 or 4 reboots after an app freeze :D

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Using the default 160 DPI here and I won't change it I think ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Is it in tablet or phone mode?
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Seems to be in tablet mode I think as when I'm going in Settings for example, the screen is split in two vertically with on the left menu list and on the right the settings in the menu.

The notification bar is bottom right, nav buttons bottom left.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
What kind of sorcery did you do? I'm trying everything and stil phone mode without navigation bar.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Maybe the behavior is different between 70 and 101.

The only change I made is to modify the key qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1.

Here's how I proceeded from the very beginning:

Start in SDE boot menu.

Format the whole device

Install firmware 2.4.83

Reboot

Go into stock firmware, didn't configured anything.

Push SDE Firmware

Update to SDE automatically

Reboot

Let boot the tablet into stock firmware

Reboot into SDE boot menu

Go into flash kernel menu

Copy zImage and initramfs one by one as recommended

Flash

Reboot

Go into SDE boot menu

Go into Repair menu and start USB MSC

Copy data_ICS.img

Copy openaos-ics.img

Copy menu.lst all files are copied one by one.

Reboot.

Choose developer edition and debug NONE

Boot ICS

Let the tablet settle for a while

At the very first boot, I got SystemUI FC and no nav buttons.

Power off the tablet and remove SD

Copy Root Explorer and Rom Toolbox Lite apk to the SD.

Boot the tablet

Install both apps.

Start Rom Toolbox Lite and edit build.prop with it.

Change qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1

Reboot

Nav buttons OK.

Install gapps.

Sign in my Google account.

That's all.

I guess I cannot give more details :P

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Biz, one issue I noticed: I cannot set any wallpaper neither using gallery nor using QuickPic ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Is it better to see the navbar with 120 dpi?

More your dpi is big more the zoom is big

Try with 180 dpi.

In which case you have the nav bar who disappear?

If the systemui crash try to change the value of mainkey in build.prop.

Bingoig i know for wallpaper, it's not my priority atm :)

Bluetooth ,camera and sound recording are my priority

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
No problem ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Any pb with tab stability like mavasilisk?

Biz
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Just to be sure:

-have you got the navbar correctly before the update?

-have you got the navbar at first boot with last update?

-have you try to put 180dpi or more to see the effect ( report please)

-why put a little dpi when you have a small screen, it's destiny for large screen (1024*600 and more)

-have you tried to delete or coment the lineabout mainkey and put 160 dpi?

I don't know exactly what you did with the value and what appears on the screen

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Seems to be pretty stable, after my last message this night I let the tablet live its life. I had 3 or 4 hard reboots at the very beginning but since, nothing.

Battery drain is pretty good, at 1.30pm at 98%, now at 90% with wifi enabled all time.

Going to continue to install several apps today and stress the tablet to see if I have any issue.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Just get a soft reboot after asking MX Player to scan a CIFS folder containing a lot of big files :)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Don't used mxplayer, it crash the sound driver. Prefer bsplayr or vlc beta (little unstable atm).

Biz
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
BSPlayer Free is said to be not compatible with the device :(
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have install it without pb :confused:

Verify your dpi value in build.prop please
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
My paranormal tablet is back.

Just checked, VLC or BSPlayer are said as not compatible.

If I go on web playstore, device is recognized as Samsung GT-I9100

So I guess that it is the same for everybody.

Going to try to get the apk and install it as a single apk.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
It looks like you've forgot to modify build.prop for A70S. There is nothing manually set.

EDIT: No, there were no soft buttons when I first booted the device. It was in phone mode with statusbar on top.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

EDIT:

I have verified the rom and it's ok... Are you sure to have download or installed the good file??

This is the build.prop that i have in the rom for A70S.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok ihave download the file like a normal user by forum link page 76. I have mount the file to verify the build. And it's ok

I have the good build prop.

I don't know what have you made, but you zre more tired than me :D

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I've made everything correct now. I think I've put V1.1 and now its V1.2 but its the same. Phone statusbar on top and tiny buttons at the right side.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Biz having the same problem as Mavasilisk

How do I know which A70 download I need S or S2?

Thanks

Mike
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
If your device has 256 ram download S, if your device has 512 ram download S2.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
S

Thanks

Still no buttons here
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Yes, ts and screen are differents too

I understand nothing.

Mava has an a70 and have menu button, tiny but he has it.

You have an a70 too and you haven't menubutton.

What's appenning?

Mava and mikerla: Have you tried to change option mainkey in build.prop

Mikerla: have you wipe data file wih a new clean?

Can you make a screenshot please? In 160 dpi and 200 dpi.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Screenshot coming shortly. I'll take a pic with my phone cuz dunno how to make it on the tab itself. I will update this post.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Long push on hard power button :p
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
When I long push it there is a massage to turn off the device. No other options.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
It's crazy the differents between the tabs then i use the same image like original.

I search the option to have it
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I decided to put the screenshots in a new reply cuz it will be a bit confusing to put it in the previous page.

First picture shows 160 density with disabled key buttons a.k.a set to 1.

On the 2nd picture the dark bar at the right side is the navigation bar. The keys are invisible until I enable it to be visible from Settings> System which is on the 3rd picture

On the third picture, you can see a Home button, when I press it it isnt working but when I press below it a "Menu" button is pressed. So it looks like the software buttons are going out of the screen.

On the 4th picture I've captured PowerOff event with 200 density.

On the last picture, you can see the PowerOff event in 160 density.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Same for me

when I change qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to 1 before reboot the menu pops up on the the power button that shows screenshot. Reboot hang in openAOS

Going to start over with new Data_ICS image at 512 and Kernel

When I connect USB cable and "Turn on USB Storage" I can only get to my external SD Card. Do I need to take that out when doing this rom install?

I cannot get to my internal Sdcard with out going into recovery menu
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
You cant see the internal storage cuz the system files are there. System can not be exposed to the pc. I've asked Divx for that and this is what he has answered me.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Going to format / firmware / SDE install again see if this helps
[Gen8 Android Development] wilsey:
Finally got time to mess with this again :)

I fully formatted and reinstalled the default 2.4.83 firmware, Then installed the Developer Firmware

Flashed the initramfs.cpio.gz & zImage from front page, Then mounted the USB and put all my files on (menu.lst, data_ICS.img etc) Used the latest CM9_BIZCUITE_ICS_V1.2_A101.img.tar.gz.

Tab boots fine, No force closes as of yet and menu buttons like previous releases work correctly.

I have not yet modified or looked into build.prop etc, Long press on the power button gives all options, screenshots etc

View attachment 1600665

Now onto USB sharing, USB is recognized by my computer, As it does also on the tablet, But i am unable to mount it, Enabling storage on the Tablet sits at a load screen, left it for a minute before cancelling it, It does not crash or anything which is a good sign

View attachment 1600666

Props Bizcuite, Well done on a another fine release :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
no help still no nav buttons

A70

UPDATE: Change

ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to "128"

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to "1"

Nav buttons appear. Now trying to install market
[Gen8 Android Development] wilsey:
Can everyone communicate with ADB over USB? Yes USB debugging is enabled?

can't for the life of me get it to see my tablet, device manager shows it connected etc, hmmmm
[Gen8 Android Development] ebreo:
sry is this rom for arnova 10b g2 also?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Market installs and operates - very limited applications available.

A70

Mikerla

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I can that is how I changed the settings in build.prop

A70
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Nope.

If I type adb shell, got a "Device not found message".

Even if choosing Debug NONE at boot, adb cannot see the tablet and adb debugging is enabled.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
I tried to set LCD density to 140 per biz post 748 lost nav buttons. Trying different values and see if they fix market.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I will put the initramfs that i use all days.

There will have no pb after.

Wait i will update the first page this evening.

Ok i will put this on the naxt rom (this evening), but can you try with 140 DPI please and report if it's always ok with nav bar and others apps appears in the market? (only A70)

Maybe your DPI who limit the number of compatibility, i have all apps with 160 dpi

Certainly NO!!!!

Only Gen8 from Archos.

Mavasilisk, what's your tab exactly???????????

It seems more little than the real archos A70s, and doesn't know this model!!

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Hahahaha, I knowed you will ask me "What the hell is this tablet". Prestigio has a contract with Archos to make some of their tablets. Its Archos A70S inside but it looks different.

You really made me laugh with this bold question. :laugh:

EDIT: I think I've tried with 140 DPI and there is no navigation bar.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Biz I loose nav buttons and power button menu at 140 and 160
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok, the last step maybe to find the part of code who switch the mode.

There is a dpi over value to switch between phone and tab mode.

I hope that is 128 (if i am right 128 DPI passed you to tab mode).

Can you try with 129 DPI and try to up 1 by 1 the dpi value. When the dpi value passed the tab mode to phone mode, can you share me the value.

I hope that is 128(tab mod)=>129(phone mod)

Many thanks for your help, you are my hands and my eyes :)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Will we need to full reinstall or just flash initramfs?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
129 = phone mode

Also 128 to 129 is a big change in appearance, its like it jumps to 160 or some high number...

Do we have to select "none" everytime we boot up or is it ok to just let it boot?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
We have tested it before. 128 and below is tablet mode, 129 and above is phone mode.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
No just kernel and initramfs

Many thanks!!

I see this this evening.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Is there a way at LCD Density 128 to make the market work?
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Yes, install LCD Modder and download modded market apk for 160 DPI.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Use it ATM but it's not the better way, when the fix will be ok, you coulp used my market without any modofication.

I have update the first page to have initramfs.cpio.gz without minicom (just adb).

If you want install it, just take the last kernel that i have made and the new initramfs, and install its under SDE menu.

ONLY FOR A70 USERS:

Can you try to push this file in /system/app/ (backup old file).

Just rename it without zip extension.

backup old file

push it 'by adb or copy/paste with your root explorer

Modify the build.prop with 160 dpi

and restart.

Be sure that you have adb to revert the modification :) or you may to have to reinstall all

Thanks

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
No extracting just push?

Edit:

Sorry did not read well change name
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Be sure that you have working ADB!!

SystemUI crash on my phone but can work on your. (like me when i change the mainkey option inbuild.prop)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Back in Phone mode, "Unfortunately SystemUI had stopped"
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have forgot one thing, can you invert the option in bild.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

in build.prop please.

pull it with adb and push it after modification.

I go to bed.

I will be on forum tomorrow.

Bizcuite.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Biz

To recap

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 (already at 1)

Pushed new SystemUI.apk

Changed screen res to 160

Reboot

Back in phone mode and systemUI crashed

All worked when I pushed back orginal systemUI.apk and changed screen res back to 128 - Still issues with market

I am available tomorrow if you need testing.

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Can you retry all the last test with option to 0 please.

Biz
[Gen8 Android Development] nimafire:
is it support arabic lang ? on web browser only

RTL support
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
In ics no. In jellybean yes. I don't think that rtl will work with my rom, except if you find a soft who modify the good libraries.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have find another way.

I have look the paranoid android code for navbar policy, and a thing interesting.

I will compile another systemui who normally break the Configuration to have or not navbar.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Same result phone mode, lost nav bar and no market fix.

Restore successfully with original systemUI
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Can you try this SystemUI.apk

It doesn't crash on my tab, compatibility zoom appear.

Just backup old files like this SystemUI.apk_save (break the extension)

and push it with adb or copy paste with your root explorer to /system/app/.

I hope that it will be ok.

I don't know if the mainkey option has any influence after the patch.

Try to coment it and chabge the value (0 or 1)

Thanks in advanced,

A70s

Guys, i read every day this thread and i would like to know simple if is this rom ready for everyday use. I have a70 tab and i wonder if is fast and stable enough and if the market works for the majority of apps. Till now i think i must wait a bit?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I need tester to make this rom "daily use". :)

You can use like a daily use rom, if you don't need of bluetooth, camera and microphone.

If the fix works for A70, i will publish another rom for A70 users (there isn't V1.2 for A70 ATM).

Pushed SystemUI reboot, no changes to build.prop - No crash - no market fix

then Commented out mainkey with build prop editor not sure if it took the # to comment out the property name I can try to pull the file and edit in Note++ if you like, changed dpi to 160 - no crash - phone mode - no market fix after clearing cache on google services and play

Changed dpi to 140 with mainkey at 0 - no nav bar - no market fix

Changed dpi back to 128 mainkey at 0 - no nav bar - systemUI crashed when I tried to change back the mainkey to 1

no market fix after reboot with 128 and mainkey 1

Is this what you wanted to see?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
A precision for the new SystemUI, Try to change the DPI value in buid.prop.

[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
New test for A70 users.

I have modify again Phonestatusbar.java in systemUI.

Can try please:

how install it and try it:

push it with adb or with your root explorer in system/app/ (save the old file before)

put a comment on the option: mainkey in build.prop

change the dpi value with 160 in build.prop

reboot

If you can't see the navbar, try to see if navbar is enable with 128 DPI

Make me a report please.

No nav bar comment out mainkey - phone mode at 160

Nav bar present at 128 with comment out mainkey

Tried market - still limited apps
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have another test for you if you have some time for me :) (many thanks without you i cannot fix the pb for A70 users, thanks for them :good:).

You must push 3 files (adb or root explorer):

android.policy.jar and service.jar in /system/framework - VERIFY that they has 0755 (or rwxr-xr-x) like permissions with root explorer or linux

and push SystemUI.apk in /system/app/

comment with # the qemu.hw.mainkey line

change the dpi to 160

and reboot

---normally useless but: Try with the differents options for mainkey (0/1)

FYI the part of code of the mainkey option (i haven't modified this part of code, it's in PhoneWindowsManger.java)

// Allow a system property to override this. Used by the emulator.
// See also hasNavigationBar().
String navBarOverride = SystemProperties.get("qemu.hw.mainkeys");
if (! "".equals(navBarOverride)) {
if (navBarOverride.equals("1")) mHasNavigationBar = false;
else if (navBarOverride.equals("0")) mHasNavigationBar = true;
}

I hope that it works now >.<

EDIT:

I have found this on XDA dev when i search the part of code that i have changed in google.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23575259&postcount=36

I have put 100 like value with another parameter change to test (it works perfect on my tab).

When you put 128 DPI you can see that you pass in tab mode when you calcul this:

your screen: 800x480 => 480x160/128 = 600 :)

If the value is up to 600 you are in tab mode. Under (DPI more higher than 128) you pass in phone mode.

480 is the value that i must apply like limit to pass in TAB mode.

I have put 100, if i have read well the code (i hate java :D ) IT MUST WORK!!

Edit2: i have a little doubt with my value put like dpi limit :fingers-crossed: :p . (boolean or int i have made full of change and try in my side)

I fix it this evening if i have time

Thanks for your report

Takes a long time to boot

No Nav bar - Phone mode.

"Unfortunately, SystemUI has Stopped."

EDIT: One positive the power button Tablet Options menu works

Change mainkey to "1" no effect still phone mode but no "swipe down notifications like in phone mode". This happens with Mainkey commented out also.

If tablet sits I get the "Unfortunately, SystemUI has Stopped."
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Sh*t!!

Have you verified the permissions? because of systemUI crash if you have 0644 rights all files in framework folder must have 0755

By adb it must work:

adb shell

chmod 0755 /system/framework/*

Mainkey is comment?

Have you tried with value 1?

Huum i have edit my last post because i have a doubt with the value put on it (lots of change, and try in my side) :p :silly:

I don't remember if i have put a boolean value or an integer. I am at work i can see this in 3 hours.

I will take a clean framework from cyanogen and retry.

It's a good news if you have power menu of tablet!! There is a effect.

Sorry about my stupid brain :mad:
