Hi !

I'm quite happy with the 2.6 kernel at the moment. (Snappy 25%).

Bizz, can you tell me which swap uses LZO compression and which swap does not use any compression ? I would like to avoid compression if possible.

Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Happy if it works good!! :)

Compcache uses LZO and zram LZO or Snappy, it depends of the choice of kernel.

Swapfile is not compressed.

Any one can share me a "free" command when you have used your tab during a long time please?

[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Did somebody try the DPI of 70S like Biz asked? Test it with 160 dpi, please.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
No no no. Don't try it!!

The kernel test make the screen unstable

Hi guys

Will this ROm works on Archos 7o internet tablet.

Sorry I asking
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Please take your question to the support thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2229191. This thread is strictly for development related posts ONLY.
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
Ups :(
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Two curious things to report to you Biz.

1. I was trying to use the stock android browser after running Angry Birds for a bit and it caused a reboot. Not only that, it caused a bootloop that could only be corrected by a hard shutdown. I'll see if I can replicate the problem.

2. I have found that after the tablet sleep of doom, sometimes I can't boot back into cyanobiz. The solution to this is to let the Archos firmware load (boot into the Archos Froyo) then shut down and select Cyanobiz. After that, it will load fine. I don't know if that helps you any, but I thought I would pass it along.

**EDIT**

Here's the

free

command information you wanted. I ran my tab through various games and apps for about 50 minutes before running the command. Hope it helps.

Guanfy: Can you try this kernel please and says me if the power management of harddrive is better (in sleep mode)?

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
Tried it and it performs worse. As soon as I turned the screen off, I couldn't get it back. With the snappy 35% kernel if I'm fast I can get the screen back on. If I let it sit screen off for around 30-1 minute, then I can't get it back on.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
One question: Can the TelephonyProvider.apk be removed safely?

I think it is since there's no 3G on the tablet but I want to be sure as I don't know if it is used by Wifi connection.
[Gen8 Android Development] mika67:
A101 - v2.6 , zImage_v2.6

I never succeeded to see my UPnP server since using Cyanobiz.

Alternatively apps as upnp skifta can find no Twonkey server under CM9 also.

on the first side the tools are mentioned

Tools:

Archos Video player: To have access to SMB server and watch directly video. (deactivate hardware decoding)

Is that the solution?

As I can install the tools of Archos (I have already from some years bought).

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] Mikerla:
Biz,

What are you working on now? I noticed that cm9 opengl es 2.0 is out there. Is that something you could incorporate into your build?

I think we are 1.1?

Not sure about all of this just asking. It might have something to do with the candy crush app crashing, it requires opengl 2.0.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
BIIIP!!! Bizcuite is in holiday please let him a message :)

I work on how up my hand to my mouth with a little Pastis :D

Else i work on sound HAL (reduce the buffer) i must test it more deeper.

And i have deactivated ramzdrive and let zram with snappy compression. I have optimised the code to use snappy correctly.

The BT will be the next step, i will continue my research for this pb.

For openGL, you have the OpenGLES 2.0 build 1.8, your game must work .

[Gen8 Android Development] andbroe:
Well, enjoy your holidays. Looking forward to your next releases :)

Any new updates?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Yes. Nearly. I try to see why we cannot have dlna/upnp access with all soft except with archos video software.

I have made lots of modification in the kernel to have better perf with swap.

And atm, i find a fix for the data image which cannot be mount at first boot.

I work again on BT.

Just bought a Nexus 10 tablet.

My Archos will be a lab machine so you can ask for any tests you want, I will perform it ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Guanfy:
I'm going to busy the next few days, but then I should be able to test as well. I'm a bit excited about android 5.0, as it's supposed to address the resource issue of current android so it can run better on mid-grade or low-end phones.

Firefox OS can be port on our Tab :angel:

But i cannot do anything because the system search to be connected to a access point :p

EDIT: It works well, after many minutes tehre a timeout, and i can navigate in the menu.

Firefox OS is fluid but it's not perfect. I have no navigation button to return to home screen....

But:

-wifi

-3D

It was just a first try...no release ATM

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
Why do u want to port it? There will be less apps even then Symbian :D
[Gen8 Android Development] bnborg:
Because it's there and because he can. :cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] Mavasilisk:
If you are his secretary tell him that I know he can do it...

Now seriously, bear in mind that new OS'es lack apps. It is kinda pointless if u install it and you can even install Skype for example.

Are you gonna abandon CM9?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Abandoned CM9, not ATM. But there is a moment when i will stop the dev of CM9 on ours tabs, because ours tabs becomes olds.

CM9 2.6 version has been downloaded only 500 times.

It's interesting to know that OMAP3 CPU can boot Gecko/FF_OS.

And many parts of code from CM9 can be adapt very easily to FF_OS (to play 720p video for exemple, OMXCodec.cpp is approximatively the same file).

For software, i am right with you, XDA DEV has not been ported on this system :) , and all apps are based on html5, which can complicated the port.

I will release an alpha version, with the how to if somebody are interested by this project, just for fun.

I will back on this OS (i will try to port it on Notes2, if i can and not already made) when the development will be in v2.0.

And ATM you cannot return on the homescreen because there isn't any nav bar .... :(

Hello,

i follow this thread for some time now, cause i have an Archos 70 it.

I don't try your ROM for now, but i will.

I use Urukdroid for a long time now.

I'm very please to know that you will try Firefox OS.

I'm working on mobile application dev.

I'm study right now the web mobile application (Sencha, jquery mobile + cordova Etc).

I want to try some dev on Firefox OS, so if you need some Help, just tell me.

I'm not very good on system dev, but i can help you with third app.

Thx.
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Gecko is one hell of a beast. So i'm not sure we'll be better of as far as RAM is concerned.
[Gen8 Android Development] Fladnar:
But the first smartphone from zte with gecko has only 256m of ram, hasn´t it?
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Fladnard you are right. FF os can work with only 256mb of ram. I have read it.

But without nav bar we cannot use it atm.

The screen for a43 is not fix atm(i have forgotten to finish this part of code)

Don't uncompress the kernel just rename it "zImage", Kernel updated, it works :)

No wipe needed.

/!\ if you lose your apps/data image at first boot just reboot one time and all will be ok.

I have made a fix to delete the data folder in the rom image (else your rom image is full)

Lots of modifications are made in the kernel.(on snappy/swap compression and others that i don't remember)

Swap file starts in first (175MB by default)

zram with snappy comp.start in second

Init.rc has been modified

Can you try it and report please

Thank you,

I have the problem that if I those

openaos cm.img file in the root listing copies and zImage (2.7) / initramfs.cpio.gz

updates cannot start I the system.

menu.lst is correct ??

Can you help me?

Update:

the zImage (2.7) is the problem.

With the old old version 2.6 I can start CM9.

System runs however very slowly-acting. [MENTION=301166]biz[/MENTION]

Can you upload new zImage file?

Thanks

to download more again also no improvement brought.

if I the file “zImage” do not bring no more in the open AOS menu am faded in.

Definitely it is because of this file.

The driver works, but not the kernel :s

Try this one.

yes, now ok.

the boat time reduced substantially.

System runs substantially faster (first impression).

It will continue to test.

I have a problem this evening still:

My browser has the problem when starting again and again that it very slowly Google homepage opens/loads.

After and again do not open the browsers close the homepage “Google” to no more are found.

The W-Lan connection is natural correct.

Possibly can someone help me?
[Gen8 Android Development] mika67:
Hello,

I must say the version 2.7 is the fastest CM9 on my Archos 101 G8 .

Start times reduced dramatically. Access times on apps are very good.

Thank you at Biz. :good: :highfive:

Biz, system runs very well.

Could you invest some more time into these points?:D

Enclosed a list with still open points of CM9 the v. 2.7

- Bluetooth

- USB access of PC, USB stick is not recognized

- Camera function

- Internet access the partial over W-Lan is missing

(perhaps this problem, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23393224&postcount=1390&nocache=1&z=718416366860785)

- UPnP

I thank you already in ahead.

[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I know that there are lots of problem again, with a part of Hardware.

For BT: you can have BT activated by this command: hciconfig hci0 up in a terminal

I have already transfer files with BT, it works, i don't know for BT headphone, i haven't it.

I work on it, i try to port 2.6.35/37 drivers. It's the solution to have a working BT for many device with an old kernel.

For Wifi/DLNA problem. I know. I try many solution, but it's not better. FYI the browser is crappy, use another one (dolphin or opera next)

DLNA crash the driver, don't use any app for DLNA/uPNP service.

For USB, i can't try, because i haven't any converter to plug the usb mass storage. But try to pass this option in init.rc:

# insmod /lib/modules/musb_hdrc.ko mode_default=2

to

# insmod /lib/modules/musb_hdrc.ko mode_default=1

I think that will not try to fix the camera.

I work on all others points.

Would this run on the Home Connect 35? It's a Gen8 device.

It's stuck on 2.2 and was looking to update it. Currently it just has a rooted stock firmware.
[Gen8 Android Development] rafaga12:
I've been testing this build this past week and found it far faster than the previous 2.6 build, even software decoding on DVD quality H264 videos works better (On MX Player), but hardware decoding is still choppy.

Also I report that Dolphin Browser is now usable, so if you look for a better browser take a look at it.

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

If you rooted your Home Connect with Chrulri's root or UrukDroid, then it should be possible to give CyanoBiz a spin, just follow the instructions at the beginning of the thread.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I see how i can improve perf for hw decoding. The dsp works but.... i don't know why it cannot decode the video perfectly.

For a35 my kernel doesn't work with this tab. Don't try it atm!

I will try to include it but i can't make any support for its.

[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
My personnal feedback on 2.7. I hope it can be useful to you.

Good:

- Speed. Now it is really useable.

- Memory. I don't know how you managed that but swap seems ok and not too laggy

- Stability: not a single crash in 3 hours !

Bad:

- Wifi has a problem. It can't see my Freebox on WPA TKIP+AES. I had to lower the security to WPA AES/CCMP. With this it works.

- Wifi has a 2nd problem. The connection is cut very often without reason.

Thank you for this excellent release ! I hope you can fix wifi :)
[Gen8 Android Development] mika67:
I have the same problem with Wifi

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[MENTION=301166]biz[/MENTION]

For USB, i can't try, because i haven't any converter to plug the usb mass storage. But try to pass this option in init.rc:

# insmod /lib/modules/musb_hdrc.ko mode_default=2

to

# insmod /lib/modules/musb_hdrc.ko mode_default=1

A modification of the file init.rc brought unfortunately no success, became very slow to system,

USB stick cannot be operated yet at USB connection (no mini connection)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[MENTION=301166]biz[/MENTION]

For BT: you can have BT activated by this command: hciconfig hci0 up in a terminal

yes, Bluetooth functions after input of the instruction are ok,

Can you transfer this function to the version 2.8?

Bluetooth should be activated / deactivated in the future completely normally over settings.

Thank you
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
For usb: have you deleted the # char at the begenning of the line?:rolleyes:

And for bt it's more complicated. It lakes /dev/rfkill path in the driver to see if bt is up.

I had tried many times to port the rfkill driver without success.

A35 will never be support by my kernel (omap3611 inside not an 3630)

I try to change the sound hal ATM because there is pb with mine. The sound make lags on videos.

Lags in youtube LD had disappear because i have down the buffer 8192 to 4096. Under 4096 the "craks" in sound are back. There is a pb!!

I can use the files from another tabs but there is no microphone (like my first version of my rom).

[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
More details about my Wifi problems:

- I can connect to my wifi network.

- Wifi signal is strong and connects with google (wifi turns blue).

- then it begins to sync emails, etc... but one minute after it stops. Wifi signal is still strong but all programs that need internet fail. (Play Store says "No Connection", for exemple)

- if I turn wifi off (Airplane mode) then On again, then it works again for one minute.

Sometime, in wifi settings, the signal for my home wifi is very low even if it is always very strong for my phone. When it is like this, the tablets tries to connect to it, then fails, then tries again... Very strange.

Anyway, 2.7 is very very good ! I had lost hope about performance but 2.7 is very good !
[Gen8 Android Development] mika67:
Perhaps I have a solution.

Go under settings, Wifi, for a long time network presses to change, extended options on your account.

Here you can select now under IP settings static, naturally must your Archos in the router be also statically registered.

Gmail, Play Store curtain since then better.
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Thank you for the adbice but it doesn't change much: the strength of my wifi signal is higher, but it stops working after about 1 minute of use, just like before. The Archos says it is still connected (blue wifi symbol) but I can't connect to anything. I will try to flash kernel again, but I doubt it will help.
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Ok, i will work on driver and try to find a solution to compile and use others drivers.

I have found a way to compile wl1271 driver. I must change boardconfig.mk in consequence.

Else i have worked on video playing. And DSP works really better (18-20fps 720p with youtube).

I have revert back my modifications because ion technology cannot be used with our tab.

I will release another version and work on wifi and upnp.

On the next version wifi driver configuration will be like archos kernel except ipv6 is include.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Correction on my problem:

Wifi works well for Play Store, Gmail, Web browser, for some time (10 minutes ? the time to update all play store apps,...) but Wifi stops working as soon as I start some apps related to Media, it stops: XBMC remote, DLNA remote control... so maybe this is normal because dlna doesn't work.
[Gen8 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Too bad the discussion ends here. it seems this was moving forward reasonably well.

No ill feelings for you Bizz, you did what you could. In case you stop working on this devince, thank you for all of this
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
Looks in general section, i work on 2.6.37 kernel based on gen9 who works better than our old kernel. Wifi has aways a problem with upnp/dlna with my new kernel.

And A70S2 HoneyComb will be support i hope, but no internal sdcard.

Bizcuite
[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
News about Cyanobiz with kernel 2.6.37.

All works well except for camera and dlna/upnp who crash wifi again.

I have add a swap (60mb on dedicated partition)

I have oc the dsp for a70s2 to 880MHz and the cpu is by default at 1.2ghz but 720p playing is not smooth.

I will upload a first version when i will include ads7846 touchscreen driver.

It will be perfect for a70s2 i have big doubt for others tabs (a43-70-101).

Wait and see tomorrow if i port coerectly the ts drivers.

Oki!

Do you want the kernel or Android image file? I can download the kernel on my side. I wil see if i have an old image files on my computer ( i doubt).

[Gen8 Android Development] bizcuite:
I know why i have put this value, i am too tired and make bad work lol.

I will make another image for A101 this evening, i am at work and cannot compile correctly my ROM.

I have compiled another image with the second patch (modification of inputreader.cpp) and prepare it today. I don't know i can upload it now, if not, i will do it this evening.

I want to see if it works with second patch. If the TS works with it, i don't know if HDMI will works a day.

I am very happy that the TS works on A70S, for soft button bug, i don't know what's append, maybe the TS size is wrong (i see that i have 1024x552, the A101 tab can confirm it when it have a ROM).

I am alone :) (just Divx118, Letama and Powerpolp has helped me a little ;) many thanks again to them )
