Buuuuuuz network problem :D, but the crash with hotspot is interesting for me.

I will try to reproduce the problem myself and start a dmesg during the crash.

I think that network stat is the problem.

I have compile all rom with cm9 sources ( no cm7 code for wifi like before), reduce to the minimum the numbers of driver in the kernel. Improve the parameters of the network (only on my side). Same result, crash sometimes when you call the network.

After some dmesg command during a crash, netstat is call each times before that the tab crash.

I will try to implement quotat driver in the kernel or deactivted it in the cm9 sources. (See my git if you want to help me: in service/java/com/server/net or this link https://github.com/Hashcode/android_device_motorola_solana/tree/ics/modules/netfilter/xt_qtaguid the source of the v1.8 kernel is available on my git since yesterday ;)).

Well, i somehow managed to "screw" my A70it. Did a formate and then installed all the files as usual. The Opensos screen appears, but the ICS does not boot:confused:

Any suggestion?
[Gen8 Android Development] wdani:
hi all!

Is there a step by step intalation gide?

i have developer aos instaled.

instal throug

?

thx
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Did you create menu.lst?
[Gen8 Android Development] wdani:
menu.lst ?

XD

like i said step by step ;)

i had instaled gingerbread trough open AOS
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
If you dont know what is it then you probably didnt create it. It is a text file to locate openaos-cm.img in your internal storage. Check the guide again its the same file used in CM7.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Is there a first page, yes !! :D

The answer was not for you ;)

Look page 123

Yes Mava is right, look the name of the file in menu.lst.

Or rename the file directly like the command into menu.lst.

EDIT: i backport ATM the xt_qtaguid.c in the kernel who permits that netstat service works.

I solve again one error and i test it.

Edit2:

Backport success! The driver works, but networkstat cannot work, a parameter has changed in proc/net/xt_qtaguid/ctrl to start the bandwidth control.

And crash are always here.

But i have another way to see.

I will post another kernel if i can include the module into it.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Hi everybody!

I have debug and have now network stats working :D. But the crash is always here.

I have again sometime system error with control bandwidth but i don't think that it comes from here like i had said. It was my first idea.

The second way is the hardwarecomposer. Our graphic driver are old, i must see this way now. Maybe the graphics driver becomes crazy when a new function is call.

Let me see if i find anything to say me,"you are right, continue o this way".

I have tried to disable hardcompo for web. But the compilation crash. I have fix many errors, but mire u fix more i have errors. I have stopped this way and recompile without omapgl for web.

I wait that the compilation finishes it.

If you want to have net stat. I can share the kernel and the module. But a litlle modification is required in init.rc.

I have tried with the download of my kernel from xda. All stats about bandwidth are take in consideration.

Wait and see.

[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
The system stability is noticable and there is also HUGE performance boost.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Very good news!!

Driver GPU update to 1.8@789263 in the kernel, Wallpaper appears now :D and i hope that "ion" (what is ION: http://lwn.net/Articles/480055/) will work with our tab.

I make a full test of the tab, and share a new release in 2 days (i must recompile all the ROM, and add files in libs folders).

I hope that crash will not appear.

Beta stage is not far!!

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
That would be big performance boost ! Good luck with this!
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
What did u mean by saying "wallpaper appears now"? You didnt have wallpaper til now for some reason or it didnt appear with this driver? Anyway, do you think there any chance for A70S to run tablet mode in 160dpi?

P.S. 70S charged and ready for test! Bring me to the beta! Hehehe
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I found something! After changing dalvik.vm.heapsize=256mb to dalvik.vm.heapsize=24mb because 24 is the recommended for our devices the wallpaper has disappeared and Trebuchet has started to crash (lack of system resources cuz I set heapgrowthlimit too low I guess). I am gonna play with the settings to investigate.

EDIT#1: I edited the settings a little more and this is the results!

-Wallpaper appeared.

-Trebuchet has stopped crashing

-Trebuchet became real quick and opens without the usual lag. AWESOME!

And Biz, heapsize of 256mb is waaaay too high for a 256 mb ram device. My phone which has 512 ram has heapsize set to 128 and it may go up to 256mb.

EDIT#2: Trebuchet is closing after I open a RAM hungry app but it opens back up lightning fast so its not even noticable.

EDIT#3: I was wondering why I cant mutitask and the reason was made by myself. I've enabled "Dont keep activities" in Developer Options.

EDIT#4: GTA III working perfectly. Its my benchmark.

EDIT#5: The system froze after I closed GTA III. The game doesnt have any adds.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Thanks, it's true, the memory parameters are false, i must configure it. But nothing to do with the actual problem.

But, i have seen when the wifi driver is loading and the IP adress is attribute, the tab crash.

If someone can confirm this (just power off power on the wifi, and try a app who required internet, the tab must crash).

I will see the wifi driver.

Else, since i have update the GPU driver, i can compile the ROM with OPENGL RENDERER active.

It's a really good news, because lots of app required the hard renderer, like..Chrome (yes Chrome works now :) )

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Man, this is awesome. I didnt think we are gonna have HW decoding. About the wifi bug. Last night I was trying something and I had to reboot the tab. When the boot finished and the tab started the wifi turned on cuz I didnt turn it off before the reboot. I tried to open an app which has ads and the tablet froze. After the reboot caused by the crashthe wifi was turned on again cuz it wasnt turned off before the crash and I decided to collect some info for you and opened the same app and the tab crashed again.

Anyway, I can run this app sometimes.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have found this bug too. But it seems solve with my last kernel that I use atm to write this message.

No crash since 16h.

Fyi:

I have found a git with dsp driver port on 2.6.37 omap kernel. I will try to adapt our code and have correct 720p playing.

As result the gpu, dsp and nearly sound driver will be update. The tab will be more compatible with ics function.

New release tomorrow evening or the next day if I lake of time. I recompile with other graphic option to see if our tab is compatible now.

Bug sound will be always here but less than before. You can hear it sometime.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I hope the sound wont be delayed. I had some problem with cm7 and delayed sound which seems to happen only to me. Anyway, with HW decoding YouTube HD will work I think.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
The pb with comes from your tab... I don't know how fix this.

The tab has already hard decoding. Ti codec are used now for mp3 aac h263 and h264.

Beta stage is progress, no crash and I try to crash the tab!!

Crash is an old story if I am right.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Upload it! I will put the tab on the charger now.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Not now, i must finish the compilation in progress, i must try the new image file, and if the test failed, then i will recompile with last good parameters :)

Be patient, tomorrow evening the new version will be upload

EDIT:

Test ok:

I have all graphics options activated for ICS :)

New release this evening.

New kernel too and now the kernel will be not compatible with others OS, lots of modules/option/libs are not in others OS, like for the GPU, network and others.

I will update the first page today, the link to download will be ok this evening.

USB Sound possible?

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your hard work.

I also have a GEN8 Device (A70IT 250GB) and I want to use it with ICS.

As I know, with Android4 it is possible to use a USB Sound Device (such as Soundblaster USB and many others).

Can anybody tell if USB sound will work?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
*

Thanks :)

I cannot promise that the ICS will work correctly with your harddrive tab version (maybe a battery drain because the harddrive is not manage well).

For your external Sound Card, i don't know if it's possible.

You can have the USB port configured like USB Host, but that's all.

Try yourself with the next release because i haven't this soundcard...

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Hmmmm love the way the title has changed!

Can't wait to test this new release!

Great job Biz!

Great day for our tablet! Can you please inform us about stability, compatibility in google play and performance in medium-heavy apps and games?
[Gen8 Android Development] Porobu:
No crashes so far , play store shows most apps, is a lot faster than previous versions, browser loads xda forums without crashing, minecraft works without crashes

Some silly birds, crash my hope's!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
A

Not mine... your DPI value is in cause...

Bizcuite

I will try, is it crash the tab before?

I play to Benji bananas with my wife without any problem.

And i start a quadrant benchmark without any problem, no error with openGL when i "dmesg" with adb.

I have changed the value for android VM in the build.prop, try to change those values.

Have you tried GTA?

[Gen8 Android Development] ebreo:
Hi does work properly this rom on archos 10b g2?

Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] Porobu:
Tried angry birds seasons but i got the app has stopped message
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
:o a crash with an app is not a rare thing. My phone (a Notes 2 with samsung firmware has crashed when i have a video in play with mobo (floating windows) and i have tried to read post on XDA forum...

I have "played" with the tab all the days, without any crash. (just a force close from Quadrant).

All works perfectly for me (512MB RAM must be the cause)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Honestly Biz, you've accomplished a huge work and as we are not so far from each other I would be glad to offer you a beer :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Guys, I can make a difference between app crash and system crash. Angry Birds (not Seasons) crash the tab. The Wifi is turned on while I play.

EDIT#1: Anyway, I think vmheapsize is kinda high for us also but when I set it to a lower value the wallpaper disappears.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Thanks :angel:

Try to change the line dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m by 196m.

I had a force close of the app at first start, and works after.

After a reboot it works perfectly.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
Biz, where is the link for these files? I read the instruction, but only gapps and rom is available

-Download initramfs.cpio.gz

-Download Kernel in attachment files

-Download data.img.tar.gz
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Did you do a clean install or you just replaced openaos-cm.img?
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Attachments on first page ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I will complete the first page with this note :)

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Biz, are the gapps on the link you provided the same as the previous? Filename is the same but maybe they are not the same inside?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Gapp has changed with v1.4 or 1.2 alpha version. Download it againbif you have a doubt. And replace system file by a new one. Permissions files was added wirh old gapp.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
I re-download everything to be sure (but mediafire is damn slow :crying: )

Can't wait to test :p
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I did a clean install and Angry Birds make the tab crash. Biz, download it just to try it. I dont play any games on my tab I download it for test purposes.
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
Thank you all, installation succeed! I will test some things and i will post my impressions. Amazing work biz, many thanks!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Damned, display is upsidedown :eek:

I mean up is down and touchscreen is inverted, when I click left it clicks right, when I click bottom it clicks up.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
See this ;)

F*ck i have change the script to make image files and haven't replace the init.rc original by yours (for A101).

I reupload dit now (in 40 minutes it will be ok) or just pull with adb the init.rc and change the hanvon option:

# Disable rotation of touchscreen and sensor for 101

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

write /sys/module/mma7660fc/parameters/rotate180 Y

And push it in "/" folder.

All apologize :angel:

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I will say it again. This vm.heapsize is way too much for 256 mb ram device. The recommended is 24 but there is no wallpaper with it. Anyway, Angry birds stil crashes the system.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Cannot access the device using adb, don't know why my Samsung ADB driver is taking over the Archos and the tablet is detected as Samsung but adb server cannot connect to it...

Damned.

Going to wait for new upload ;)

I set vm-heapgrowthlimit to 64 and vm.heapsize to 196 and the device didnt crash. Also, i think there is some kind of performance boost in responsibility
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
New download, everything's ok!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Well i will put 196m in next release. I will work on BT, i have update the first post and give the command to enter to have it.

And work with A43 users to have a real touchscreen like promise.

Any bug or others thing, exept pb of app. force closed due to the bad value in build.prop?

A 2.1 will be upload tomorrow to fix the build.prop.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
I downloaded some free Volume manager which is supposed to include ads and the system crashed when I opened it. It looks like big apps are able to run sometimes with the new heapsize but what do you think about this? This app is like 800kb.
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
I can tell the tablet is very fast and has good respond in use. In some medium demanding games (most for testing) like angry birds and flick Shoot tab freezes,Marble blast 2 working good, Diversion (Edit, now it works!!!) freezes in menu. Another thing is after installing task manager and kill all apps, free mem is about 95mb compared with 120-135mb in froyo rom. I believe the key is how can we free up memory with any possible way (removing unnecessary things, via kernel, with wise settings vmheap or memory management in performance area?). Please someone who is expert in android, give us some advices in that. Thanks again biz....
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
if you are right it's a really bad news for me.

It must lake of parameters in the kernel (.config) or GPU drivers crash the tab.

I haven't any reboot/kernel panic today with apps who crash the kernel when i open its

I will see this tomorrow...

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Stressed the tab a bit by downloading a lot of apps, posting from it, tune it a bit with System tuner pro, nothing happened, neither lag nor crash or freeze. I love it!
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Hi there !

I installed the beta yesterday and here's my feedback.

Yes, it's more responsive (time between touch and action) and less laggy (things like transitions between screens, animation...).

Some of it may be placebo but anyway, I haven't had a single crash while restoring apps with Titanium backup. Some apps fail to restore but I beleive this is because of the apps or TB, not the ROM.

I will try some memory intensive apps (Chrome with more than one tab open, angry birds, ...) and report.

My objective is to use it as an XBMC remote, take notes, display receipes for cooking... nothing serious, so as far as I am concerned, I say THANK YOU !
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Reboots are like before. Anyway, I noticed something - when I turned off the WiFi I was able to run many apps but when I turned it on the tab immediately crashed.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
No it's less than before but yes i have a reboot today (kernel panic).

I work on kernel to see which driver crash. The log of Kernel panic can help me.

I was really happy during many hours....

Network is not stable atm. If you want just see a video on your tab or play. Don't active it.

I see where i can have wifi driver to compile it and have a updated driver. I believe has read that on motorola sourceforge i can have this driver.

:banghead::mad:

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
You can skip motorola defy's WiFi driver because its not the best. I have the phone and the driver is not good for now. Anyway, you can ask Quarx - the dev of motorola defy for an advice. He is a very wise man, believe me.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I have not to search very far :) :

http://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen9-kernel/trees/master/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx

Wow! The last time I came to see this thread, it was at 1.7!

Must be something big for 2, eh? :P

[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
:) but there a pb with wifi driver who crash the kernel. I work on it ;) .

See if you like.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Still no crash since installation, loving this ROM!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Are there others guys who have no pb with the rom. Only mava and me has a reboot (1 in 24h for me it stays good).

For app forced close just adjust the the vm.heapsize to 192m.

I see the problem during those next days.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
My reboots are even more often. I can make it crash for 2 minutes (max 5mins). Just reboot with WiFi turned on and the tab will crash very soon after the boot is finished.
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
How exactly can i do that?

I can find the apropriate file but i do not know how to write on it.
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Hi there !

The only real crashes I've had for now are for Chrome and Angry Birds. Sometimes an app exits because of RAM (Dolphin Browser) but the rest works ok. Gmail, Reader, works ok.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Huum with a keyboard :)

Just download a file explorer who permit the file edition. Open build.prop and change the value of vm.heapsize. 128 set to 160m. Try different values.

Same thing. If your app crash just adjust the vm.heapsize memory value.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
You can:

- Wait for an update from Bizz

or

- Install a text editor and a file browser with root capabilities (such as Root Explorer, but there are tons of those)
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
He he, sorry for my noobidity, but you are always noob in xda!

I did it with root explorer from playstore! And a good thing is that i get manage to play temple run much better than stock or degu rom. It is weird because it is very memory demanding app, more demanding from angry birds which always froze my A70s
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Bingoig just to know, what's your security used for wifi? WPA, WEP? others?

with wich value have you tried angry birds?

I have tried to compile driver from CM9 directly, but i have lots of error and doesn't want to be insert.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
I'm doing experiment with 160m and i tried again angry birds and works perfect! Before i tried to open it immediate after installation and pushing the open link in the window of playstore and i had fc. Another thing which definitely helps , is enabling the purging of bitmap memory assets. After that two other games which freeze the tablet, now works (Flickshoot and Bubble shootix). Playstore has almost all apps available and i think games runs better than degu gb.

(EDIT Quadrant shows is not compatible and antutu freezes!!!)
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Thanks for your information, 160m must apply then, i hope that i will work well with others apps.

For quadrant try to put your dpi to 120. With 160 dpi i have no problem, but you cannot have this dpi ATM (phone mode is apply with this dpi).

i will try Antutu.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] trankilnet:
Its realy beautiful and work fine but Reboot always when i want to load a page with all web navigator. :confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
All the time.... you are alone in this case. If the tab crash reboot it completly ( push 10 sec on power button) or wait and reboot it with menu.

Which security have you used to your wifi?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] trankilnet:
Sorry it isn't a reboot but a FC. And yes, all the time. I use WPA/WPA2 security for wifi
[Gen8 Android Development] athankar75:
Another weird and interesting info, Flickshoot works only when wifi is enabled, otherwise freezes!

EDIT i have activate no security on wifi
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
10% power drain over night with WiFi disabled.

Much smoother with WiFi turned off.
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Everybody report what kind of security he uses for debugging purposes (WPA/WPA2/etc). Thank you!

WPA here. I can make the tab crash pretty often.
[Gen8 Android Development] someone755:
I use WPA2 and WPA, no crashes here :P

Though the tab does get pretty heated, I'm beginning to worry...

EDIT: OOhhh, I forgot; Also WPA2/802.1x at my school with a certificate... Damn, those guys ain't kidding around with security :P

Thanks for reminding me, Bingoig :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
WPA but I'm trying to migrate to 802.1x with user certificate (quite hard to configure on server side...Don't even know if Android will manage to connect)
