wlan and bt - freezing after reboot

Hello Quallenauge,

I am using your great ROM quite a long time now and am on the 19.1.2014 version since you released it.

I like to complain about BT not working anymore in parallel to WLAN and vice versus.

I think the version off 22.12. was still able to do so.

I like streaming MP3 via BT to my sound system and surf via WLAN in parallel.

This is not possible anymore on my device with your latest sw version :rolleyes:

Also it happens regularly a short time after reboot that the system seems to freeze.

This happened in the past on older versions but not on the last ones. Did an old bug came back ?

Thanks for your attention.

Regards

Hansi

Yeah I cant edit anything in /system. Rom works great other than that but there is not much point in having root if you cant mount system as rw
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Try

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /
[Gen9 Android Development] rfrayer:
tried, it looks like it goes ogo but still cant edit any files even with root access
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Can you please describe in detail, what you have done? Maybe we can see, what's the cause...
[Gen9 Android Development] rfrayer:
I tirid in dtail to remount as RW using command

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /mnt/system

I also tried the method above by remounting /

both said they worked correctly in adb but i cannot push or pull files via adb and cannot edit anything in /system or /mnt/system

I may or may not have installed the rom slightly incorrectectly (it was my first flash) after i baught the tablet, i will try and reflash again tonight.

You can remount root with this command:

$ mount -o remount,rw rootfs

Nandroid backup and restore

Hi

[MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION]

I've installed this rom in my archos 101 g9 and I like it and thanks again for your work.

I want to install your cm11 but don't want to lose my data so my question is :

Is there a way to convert a nandroid backup into an ext4.update file like your rom so I can reinstall it the same way I install your rom (because it have no recovery) ?

thank for answer

ladalgigi
[Gen9 Android Development] Sargeue:
I looked in Gen9, Gen10 and found this:

If you are rooted and have adb working, you could do that:

adb shell

then type this:

stop zygote (this one stops android).

tar -cvzf /mnt/sdcard/full_backup.tgz /data/*

reboot

It will save everything on your tablet, apps+internal storage on sdcard. Make sure that your microsd is big enough.

If you have to restore, do this:

adb shell

then this:

stop zygote

rm -r /data/*

cd /data/

tar -xvzf /mnt/sdcard/full_backup.tgz (make sure you have your tar file you want restored on external SD card before hand)

reboot

Hope it helps, I did this for all my nandroid backups and saved them to my PC after completion of Tar file.

Can i use this latest CM (19_01_2014-13_32_32) for my Archos101 G9 16 GB Turbo ?
[Gen9 Android Development] kuskro:
Yes, you can. I've installed it without problems over my G9 101 512m 16GB. Furthermore, it is the best rom we have right now because CM11 has still persistent problems like an unsuitable brightness, vpn problems, etc...

To be honest, I think the best version is 22_12_2013-13_29_20 if you don't use the hdmi, because the last kernel that included KSM is not good enough to be used if you compare it with the zRam result over a 22_12_2013-13_29_20 version.

Posts above, I left some pieces of advice to get better outcomes over your devices.

Best.
[Gen9 Android Development] warezjunk:
Used your advised ROM and with this manual its working now..

Ext2Fsd works fine [MENTION=4754436]Windows 8[/MENTION].1

Question: If i want flash other CM build must i do everytime that ExtFsd stuff or only first time CM??
[Gen9 Android Development] kuskro:
Well, if you want to avoid strange glitches, I recommend you to follow the aforementioned manual each time you move to another rom.

CM 11 to CM 10.2

Going back from CM11 to CM10.2, should I do some special installation? Or just normally?

Thanks :)
[Gen9 Android Development] kuskro:
Just normally, but I recommend you the prior version (22_12_2013-13_29_20) because it uses less memory ram to work.
[Gen9 Android Development] GuyKhmel:
So I'm back to 10.2.

But... did anyone managed to use the back USB port (the one for 3G) for connecting a USB keyboard?

I bought a leather case with a keyboard but it doesn't work.

Only using USB to OTG adapter is the only way for it to work...

Any ideas?

Hello,

Can you post 22_12_2013-13_29_20 on another server than Mega?

Mega is blocked in Belgium.

Thank you

[Gen9 Android Development] carefreeway:
Hey [MENTION=7477189]demav1306[/MENTION], why do you wanna use the old version? If you don't like KSM, telephony or other things you can turn them off in settings. Also, why don't you like 4.4.4 version? 4.3 and 4.4 have the same minimum memory specs:

http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.3/android-4.3-cdd.xhtml#section-7.6.1

http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.4/android-4.4-cdd.xhtml#section-7.6.1

Also it's possible to run 5.0 or even 5.1 or 6.0 with some limitations on this device.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
On my device it is the opposite - the ROM is working better than the previous ones. On standby (as test) where I only used the browser app for ~30 minutes I got 2 days and 9 hrs. Is there a chance to check out what's causing the CPU load?
[Gen9 Android Development] mordesku:
After analysis it turns out that the wifi module uses as much electricity. After reboot everything is back to normal, now after 6 hours disappeared only 2%.
[Gen9 Android Development] dylandog79:
This ROM is really good.I managed to install it also with win7.I think I made a mistake while trying to mount the data partition on win.The mnt/storage and sdcard paths are messed up it still works great.I'll reinstall tonight again.and push the file via adb.

Sound gets lost sometimes but just pressing the volume button brings it back.

Did anyone have tryed if HDMI is working?can't test it here....
[Gen9 Android Development] shitaki:
How did you get to install it on win7? I have no idea for the mounting thing? Any help please?
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
The key to installing this on whatever OS you choose is being able to mount an EXT2 partition, which is traditionally a Linux filesystem. Try something like ext2fsd, or any project that will allow you to mount an EXT2 partition with read and write access. Once you solve that problem, [MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION]'s instructions should work as written.
[Gen9 Android Development] shitaki:
Hmm I downloaded that program but mine is a EXT3 partition is that wrong then? Hm I'm kinda confused what to do when I mount the partition though.. can you help me?
[Gen9 Android Development] dylandog79:
I used ext2fsd.If u want to use it just install it and reboot your win7.

After restart you go as followed

1 reboot into SDE menu and under "Format System" perform a "Reset Android & Storage" to clear all data of previous installations (this is really important!).

2 reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu -> "Export Data Partition"

3 connect your Tablet with your Computer

4 start ext2 Volume manager.You should see your local drives and a extra one which is the Linux partition.

5 mark that partition and press F7.

6 Start the service and be sure to check the "Enable writingsupport for ext3 volumes" and uncheck "Mount all volumes in read-only mode.Press apply.

7 again mark your linux partition and press F3 and uncheck "Mount volume in readonly mode"

8 Now you should see the partition under "myComputer".Open it and if u reseted "Reset Android & Storage" u should see 2 Folders(Media and Lost+found)

9 make a new folder called "local".

10 rename the archos.ext4.update to archos.ext4 and copy it into "local" folder

11. Unmount the linux partition as you would do with any usb drive and then press ok on your tablet

12 go to "Developer Edition Menu" and choose "Flash Kernel and Initramfs"

13 A new drive will appear under "myComputer".Copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo to it and press ok.

14 Reboot your tablet and after a couple of seconds you should see the Archos logo and then Cyanogen logo

TADA....

[Gen9 Android Development] shitaki:
OMG Thank you so much!! I just wanted to let you know that step 7 should be "F3" instead of "F2" :D

Worked great thanks !

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

:)

Yesterday I got the ROM installed.

Thank you very much Quallenauge !

This seems to be a great implementation on our Archos.

It runs fast and smooth.

Quadrant states 2800 score points on my G9 512MB 1.5GHz

:confused:

But I have some few problems:

1. Titanium Backup requests me to enable USB debugging mode, but I cannot find this setting

2. I have two Gameloft games which seem not to start because they need data from the sdcard.

I still have the data on the SDcard but it is not recognized. Maybe to the "new" mountpoints of storage devices ?

3. Is the USB (where normally the 3G stick is connected to) not usable at all ? I have a slim USB stick connected to that port but cannot see the data

And a question:

1. are the improvements made by Archos for the GPU performance included in this ROM/Kernel ?

2. are the improvements made by Archos for the IO performance included in this ROM/Kernel ?

3. Sudru Petru made additional improvements on the IO performance could these be included in this ROM/Kernel ?

After all a great smooth ROM :)

The only thing which really hurts is that the SDCARD mounting points is not recognized by some Apps which are using external data.

Didn't test GPS & HDMI by now.

Thanks !
[Gen9 Android Development] esque:
The developer settings are hidden on CyanogenMod by default.

To enable them:

- go to settings

- about this tablet

- tap on 'build number' about 8 times

That should activate the developer settings (above superuser)

I can confirm that.

The original firmware had a toggle to activate the 3G port. I guess it is deactivated on CM too and since the toggle is missing we can not easily activate it.

Anybody have an idea?
[Gen9 Android Development] schermvlieger:
Will this rom work on the hard disk version?
[Gen9 Android Development] hansi_schulz:
I am still amazed about this ROM.

Charging works fine also battery drain is good (I disable WiFi Ehen not needed).

Because I have just a 512MB version I like to delete some of the Google stuff which uses some memory in the background.

With root access I can not deletenthe these apps from \system\app. Also Titanium fails with its Bloatware feature.

This seems because the partition is just mounted as read only.

How can I delete some apps from the system folder (or make the partition rw) ?

Also my Gameloft games which uses an additional storing locarion do not start, any idea ?
[Gen9 Android Development] esque:
Did you install them fresh or did you restore them with Titanium Backup?

If you restored them they will likely look for their data in the wrong place.

Reinstalling them should solve the problem, maybe deleting their data in the settings may be enough.

If you installed them fresh this problem should affect everybody who uses CM and Gameloft games.
[Gen9 Android Development] hansi_schulz:
You are absolutely right. It was due to Titanium...

I did a fresh install and it seemed to work.

I was also to play one of the both Gameloft games once but next time it was denied with the message that these are not registered copies. Same to the other.

I tested HDMI and after connecting it a second time it worked with 1080p 60Hz

A2DP (Listening via music in Stereo via Bluetooth Headset) also works fine.

Didn't test GPS by now.

Thanks.

Hello,

Does anyone know or has anyone tried to install this on the Archos 80 Cobalt?

Or is it possible to port it?

I just got the tablet yesterday and it's still on ICS

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
No - You may risk a brick!

Don't install this on your tablet - it's completely different to the Archos G9 80s.

This is also the reason why this tablet will not get CM from me. Also Archos has digressed from releasing kernel sources and other things for other tablets than the G8 and G9 series, which can make it possible to create real custom images.

It seems not cool anymore for them to provide support. I really can only recommend to buy tablets where the manufacturer releases sources.

IMHO only with these consumer needs this will be changed.

Sorry to write this... :(
[Gen9 Android Development] kage00:
Thanks for the reply,

thats a shame, so even if a kernel dev was interested it still wouldn't help because Archos haven't released their sources?

Bummer,

thanks anyway

What is the differences between this 2 tabs? (Carbon-elements series and gen9 series)

Because i use actually on my a70s2 froyo the kernel for a70s2 HC. (Tab Brick if you try to install hc on a froyo version)

[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
It's a Rockchip RK3066 driven device. The G9 series is a TI OMAP driven device. So the kernel for the 80s isn't prepared for the Rockchip architecture.

Hi!

I uploaded a new version if someone would like to install it (got to first post for links).

[*]A widget "Archos Control Center" where the user can activate the deep sleep behavior. Warning: If you use the archos as alarm clock you will oversleep! (It only will wake up, when pressing the power button).

Also the 3G port can be activated with this widget. I discovered some hangs, which can only solved by removing and re-adding the widget on the screen. If someone can help me with this widget, please have a look at: github It's my first app ever... so it is very ugly =)

Couple of installation notes:

You don't need to wipe your device if you are coming from the previous version of 10.2 for Archos. That way you don't have to re-install all of your apps. (But do a backup first, anyway. Just in case.)

Despite being awesome for getting us an update so quickly, [MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION] forgot to rename kernel to zImage, so you'll need to do that before updating the kernel.

If you are coming from a previous version of 10.2, you can probably push the archos.ext4 file using adb instead of mounting the data partition, but I didn't test this.

That said, this is the fastest ROM I've had on this device, and I've tried most of them! This might just be ooh, shiny! syndrome, or even just the wipe/install making things run faster for a while, but this has been butter smooth for the week-and-a-half that I've had it installed. Well done, sir!

I loked in to your code it is dirty like you said. Why you chose to make a widget instead of standalone app? also figured out that widget forces close when tablet gets havy load like games.

(It's free for everyone to integrate this in the firmware).

You Need to install SDE first.

Pls. have a look to some of the other G9 threads where this step is explained in detail.

Coming from earlier CM 10.2 Version and just replaced the "archos.ext4" in /data/local with Archos and the integrated filemanager from SDcard. After that just rebooted to SDE and copied the init & zimage via Win7 to the appearing recovery drive. After rebooting all Apps were updated and Kernel/OS stated a build date of 8.11.2013.

All apps and date are still there.

You"ll get into the SDE by powering on the G9 on and having the speaker volume rocker down pressed all the time.
