Hi,

I tried the CYANOBIZ 2.3 on my Archos 101 Gen. 8.

I would like to install the Google App from this page

"CYANOBIZ - ICS for GEN8 based on CM9 - BETA 2.4 - A43 TS FIX - KERNEL V2.4".

I rename the File: gapps ics 20120429 signedremake_all_dpi_works.zip, copythe file to the download Folder and reboot.

I think after restart the uncompressed, but i I cannot find the app / file ?

If you can help me

Thanks
[Gen8 General] minidou-77:
You have to reboot twice

The first time files are being uncompress

The second they are installed

Also when you rename the file be sure to remove JUST the first "-" and do not touch the rest of the name ;)

Hi,

the Internet browser chrashed with some Internet sites, with standard Browser and Dolphin, maybe comes from the Flash Player, if one must change him ?

I tried the system with Swappper 2, 256 MB Swap File on ext. SD Card, the perfomance is better, but not the best, i wait for the next Upgrade

some apps are indicated distortedly around (on the head indicated), angry birds ..........

otherwise really good system

congratulation

Your browser is crashing with Flash player because of the lack of HW acceleration. Actually, why are u using it? Put the user-agent to mobile and use MX video player to watch your videos. Its way better cuz you can watch it in HD in full screen without any lag.

It lakes 60mb of ram because compcache is deactivated.

I have crash of chrome with 512mb and no crash with chrome and google maps (the webpage), i have added a swapfile of 175mb into my image to test for the next release.

TLS register is activated too with my new rom. I have found a hack to activated it in the kernel :) it's a great news.

The next kernel and rom will be not compatible with others versions of my previous release (tls register crash all others systems without this option activated during the compilation.

New release tomorrow!

Logcat for Candy Crush

Biz

I have been using the 2.5Test version with this

zram configuration (works the best for me so far)

I also have the build.prop tweaks suggest by Mav on the first page of the support thread.

swapoff /dev/block/ramzswap0

#echo $((100*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram1/disksize

mkswap /dev/block/zram0

swapon /dev/block/zram0

rm /system/etc/fstab

mkswap /dev/block/zram1

touch /system/etc/fstab

echo "/dev/block/zram1 none swap sw 0 0" >> /system/etc/fstab

#swapon -a /dev/block/zram1

Is there anything in the logcat that would tell us why this app crashes?

It opens and starts with the splash screen then crashes and returns to the app drawer. If the logcat floating window is open it closes that as well.

Other apps that seem as graphic intense seem to open. I uploaded two Logcats one before installing Facebook and one after.

Do you know where logcat extreme stores the saved Logcat files?

Thanks

Hello Biz,

I have been using the zImage_v2.6_Zram.zip and A101 - v2.5 version.

Without ZRAM its the Ram not so bad (20-32 MB free), with all Apps installed, GApps and so one)

With the Modification from file named swap_activation.sh its really better , if to start the play store all Icons are visible, the apps to run faster.

It is possible to make the compcache / zram a bit bigger ?

Many Thanks

Touch screen logs

I am using 2.6, ROM 2.5

It works fine for me, one notice is that touch screen logs are overwhelming (too many logs for touch screen, with every touch); this may cause some touch lagging

Thanks
[Gen8 General] someone755:
Just one question;

To do a 'clean flash', do I have to put an entirely new data.img to the device or will a 'factory reset' from within the ROM suffice?
[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
You can increase zram size with this command:

#echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

Change 50 by another value

ramzswap0 alias compcache cannot be change directly.

But use v2.5 CM9 with v2.6 kernel.

I think that you have a A70, i had put a wrong link to download beta v2.5 on the main thread, download it again, please.

But i am surprised that you can boot with v2.4 beta (old v2.5 link) with kernel v2.6. In theory, it's not possible :)

I think that you have v2.4 CM9 image because i have deactivated logcat for TS ;)

If you want to clean CM9.Just delete the CM9 and data_ICS.img images, and upload on the tab new clean images.

I will update the first page for CM9 beta V2.5.

[Gen8 General] mika67:
Hello biz,

enclosed a link with a file the two films contains. In first v2.5 CM9 is to be seen with v2.6 kernel with zram size 200.

In the second film a crash from the browser is to be seen to.

Password for the file: cm9biz

In principle the apps are started very slowly and that terminate last also for a very long time

(also with zram 50)

With zram size 200 is very fast indicated pictures and apps after slow structure (see film).

Can you provide me please a new Kernel and increase the compcache?

This with zram size 200 gladly would test.

What is a zImage_v2.6_snappy_compression?

many thanks

Archos 101 G8
[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
Hi!!

Zram is deactivated by default in v2.5!!

Compcache is active, and the rom works like v2.4, except TLS register on and you have a swap of 175MB.

I must be sure that you have change the swap_activation.sh files before to answer you ;)

Have you make any modifications in this file?

And don't confuse zram and compcache.

Zram is the new generation of compcache. It works better but can required more power with "old" CPU.

Comcpcahe is activated since alpha v0.1 ;)

I want to test all possibilities before delete it in the code.

I download films!! (35 minutes to wait :crying: )

I let you 2 kernel with 35% and 50% to try.

EDIT:

Another things, the moment when you start the swapfiles (swapfile inthe image file, zram0 or ramzswap0).

Try to change the order with this swap_activation.sh

#50MB for zram0
echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
#Start of swaps
swapon /dev/block/zram0
swapon /swapfile
swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

Try to change the order of start of swaps:

swapon /swapfile

swapon /dev/block/zram0

swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

I think that this start is good, swapfile in first, zram in second and compcache to finish.

Verify with cat /proc/swap command.

It will be better.

It's a good way to see which is the most fast.

Report if it's better, and which is better!!!!!

FYI: i had forgotten one thing in the kernel, the perf will be better in all cases!!

Can someone load this program from the market and see if it works? Mine crashes on the intitial splash screen and kills everything else that is running.

Candy Crush Saga is also available for Android devices with the following spec:

- ARMv7 processor

- Supports OpenGL ES 2.0<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

- Supports 320x480 resolution or higher

- Runs Android OS 2.2 or higher.

I am guessing that the reason it crashes is the OpenGL we are running OpenGL ES-CM 1.1

Can someone confirm?
[Gen8 General] samasama:
Arabic

Yes, you are right, I was using wrong image; I updated the image and all works fine

I have a small problem, Arabic file names are displayed as ???; though the ROM writes and reads Arabic well everywhere else

Could there be a fix for that?

I am very content with CM 9.

Since then no crashes more and the system became genuinly fast.

The following questions are still open:

1.) Archos has a special video driver ( Cinema Plugin ) also of UPNP to use / stream can.

I bought this program officially. As I can integrate this in CM 9.

2.) One can terminate the apps with still faster close to leave (see film)

3.) I would be movable the apps gladly on the screen/differently screens indicate let, how we do this with CM 9

Hi guys

Will this ROm works on Archos 7o internet tablet.

Sorry I asking
[Gen8 General] Guanfy:
Yes it will. I have a 70IT HDD version and it runs pretty well. There are still issues related to the hard drive and some apps that do not work, but this ROM is running head and shoulders above what it used to be doing.
[Gen8 General] alexdk:
Thx I will give it a try. What is the difference between the 3 zimage (25%, 25%, 35%)?
[Gen8 General] Guanfy:
From the first post of the dev thread for cyanobiz

For kernel initramfs and data image see attachment files
25% of RAM is "compcached" with zram snappy compression
35% of RAM is "compcached" with zram snappy compression
25% of RAM is "compcached" with zram LZO compression

That should answer your question.

Use notepad++ to create the file. if you use another f*cking text editor from Micro$oft, you will have invisible char on the file. (like /r or /n, that you can see with notepad++)

Use it, it's an order!! :D

After use the how to that i have share for windows users to see extensions file.

And you will be able to install CM9!!

You will rename kernel file, and create a menu.lst file.

And yes, without the rtf extension (i have a biiiig doubt about working of your file.....)

[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
I can't go to your home to do this, but i can share you MY own file. (see attachment)

Just rename the CM9 image file like this:

CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6.img

And please do the how to to see extension files, it won't work else!

Install it by sde menu in internal storage (on the root directly.

And It will be ok for menu.lst.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

I can't post to the developer thread (yet) so I will post here, i'm using the 2.6 kernel with 25% LZO ZRAM and it works fine on the A43, however there were some hiccups:

1.- The first time I tried it (with a clean data image) never booted staying in the Android logo.

2.- I tried a second time and it didn't work either.

3.- I wiped everything again and the first time it boot I got a bunch of applications closed (I think someone else reported this too in the developer thread), I wasn't able to apply the calibration because I had to kill the tablet.

4.- The next time I turned on the tablet it worked fine, I got to Trebuchet and it loaded fine, but I got some "The application is taking to long to respond" errors.

I disabled the swap file and i'm using only the zram0 and ramzswap0 devices, i'm curious are both of them LZO compressed or only one of them, if so, which one?
[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
1 - 2 - 3 - there is again a problem to mount data_ICS.img. The CM9 image files becomes full (it cannot install all the apps) and bootloop!

4 - your image (CM9) is full, install another cleaned one....

It's very strange this problem, not all users are impacted by this.....

Maybe try to install kernel before -> reboot, next, install image files -> reboot.

If you have a bootloop you must retry again (CM9 image files full!!)

Archos 101 G8

Hi Biz,

I installed now the version 2.6 .(A101 - v2.6 and zImage_v2.6_Snappy_ZRAM_CC_35% ).

After the second Reboot the system runs well, the apps starts very fast,

After installation of Gapp and after restart the system is also still acceptable.

With Internet applications such as Streaming re the problem always dips on that applications falls (Chrash).

With installation*zImage_v2.6_Snappy_ZRAM_CC_50 and CYANOBIZ_BETA2.5_A101.img

I did not have this problem.

What changed from Cyanobiz 2,5 to 2,6? CHANGE log?

Can I*start Cyanobiz 2,6 with zImage_v2.6_Snappy_ZRAM_CC_50 , with this configuration?

################# ZRAM #################

#echo $((175*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram1/disksize

echo $((60*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

#touch /system/etc/fstab

#echo "/dev/block/zram1 none swap sw 0 0" >> /system/etc/fstab

#chmod 0777 /temp

mkswap /dev/block/zram0

swapon /dev/block/zram0

#mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/zram1

#mke2fs -T ext4 -O ^huge_file /dev/block/zram1

#mount /dev/block/zram1 /temp

swapon /swapfile

swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

#swapon /swapfile

With the introduction of Snappy _ZRAM definitely an improvement the system was reached.

However I have the impression that the system with demanding tasks unfortunately yet the buffer possibility do not have (problem: Paging of contents). Thus with demanding tasks, complex Internet sites a Chrash is produced.

With the above-mentioned configuration I could determine with my previous installation no crashes, however the system ran unfortunately also somewhat more slowly like the present version 2.6.

I hope my information help you.

Many Thanks

You need to boot to Developer Edition then the AOS splash screen will show up and then to ICS.

[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
It's a known pb for A70 users. I have maybe found a way to have all apps. But it need that i search how do this.

If you start your tab with 160 dpi, install Gapps and revert back to 128 dpi, all apps are available.

But i must write the script who permit this.

Wait....or do it!! (like me with ICS :p )

Bizcuite
[Gen8 General] Mavasilisk:
Add a script that edits the DPI after the gApps installation. When the extraction is complete it should do the setprop and "wedone" ^^

EDIT: I guess it wont happen cuz it requires CyanogenMod code heavy modification and permission from them to edit their code and blabla blabla somebody who can do it etc etc...forget it, lets find another way.
[Gen8 General] mika67:
is it in " open AOS menu” possible 2 versions of ICS to select to be able (a test and a productive system)?

In the test system all updates were then integrated, checked and if everything is correct transferred to the productive system:laugh:

Or one can install 2 of ICS separately

Thanks

Greeting

Archos 101 G8
[Gen8 General] bizcuite:
You can do this. BUT!!

You MUST mount another data_ICS.img, or it will be share for the 2 CM9 images files.

To do this just uncompress a new data_ICS.img and rename it data_ICS_bis.img for exemple AND

change in the init.rc the name of the image mount:

mount ext4 loop@/mnt/storage/data_ICS.img /data nosuid nodev

By

mount ext4 loop@/mnt/storage/data_ICS_bis.img /data nosuid nodev

I think that is a little useless.

To revert back when a thing doesn't worked correctly after an update, just rename your old CM9 image file with .old at the end.

If the new update crash, you have just to erase it and rename correctly the old image file.

I do this method, and it works well....

Bizcuite
[Gen8 General] mika67:
is the new zImage_.zip / initramfs.cpio.gz files are compatible to old CM9 image?

Then the second variant is a very good choice.:good:
