I am confused, do I need adb installed on pc to run the usb code or is it done via tablet in SDE? I am trying this rom on my 101 g9! I have it rooted and sde installed using 4.0.28 rom. Thanks for any help!

Still need to get your audio to compile, keep getting warnings treated as error. Using generic audio for now but microphone doesn't work. I have compiled Pac-man 4.4.2 Alpha-1 and HellKat 4.4.2. :D
[Gen9 Android Development] my2cents:
Do we have to follow this step? I'm trying to do this without ABD and from a windows machine. Thanks!

EDIT:

I tried following these steps:

1. Connect USB cable

2. Unzip 23_01.zip on desktop

3. Copy archos.ext4.update to root of device

4. Boot to recovery SDE

5. Remove android kernel

6. Click on flash kernel & Initramfs and copy the CM zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo into the folder that comes up

7. Click OK, which only takes a second

8. Then it reboots and locks up at Archos screen

Questions:

1. Am I missing a step?

2. Do I need do the data partition thing above?

3. Should I not remove the android kernel first?

4. Should I flash the zImage and initramfs separately? I dont think so, but I can't find anything to confirm flashing both at the same time.

Sorry about the noob questions, I have had this thing since release and never bothered to mess with it, though I've rooted and rom'd samsung, motorola, and HTC devices. Thanks guys.

How do I perform an update (an explanation will be better for windows)?

Is there an Exposed compatible with Archos G9?
[Gen9 Android Development] nr1:
I did a full install on my Archos 101 G9 and am running this Rom (version of 23.1.) now since few days. In general it's running quite well, thx a lot for this rom!!

However often the device gets completely stuck during surfing on the internet with stock browser. Then nothing is responsible anymore and sometimes the device gets a black screen after some seconds. I then have to reboot it again.

On the 4.3.1 version rom i didn't had this problem, but there the stock browser force closed a lot (just closed itself during browsing finally showing the homescreen).

To me it seems that this happens more often when browsing pages that are using lots of javascript, which probably require more cpu time and ram to be rendered.

Any hints on how to solve this?
[Gen9 Android Development] kulgan_22:
Hi,

I've followed installation procedure and in order to sucessfully start my archos 10.1 G9 on this rom, I had to go in recovery menu and request to boot on developper android.

If it was only needed at the installation it would have been a big deal, but I've to perform the same step at each power off/on cycle.

doesn't someone have an idea on this issue?

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Hi!

I encountered this also on my tablet. I saw inside the /proc/last_kmsg (which was *very* corrupted) that the internal mmc was not responding anymore. After that, I updated the mmc driver tree to the newest one, in the hope that it would be better...seems not :-/

I'm working/testing the newer 3.0.72 kernel with some extra cherry-picks for correct mmc handling. Maybe this would be better....

[Gen9 Android Development] corax@xda:
Hi Quallenauge,

Great work! I've installed it on my 101 G9 version with 512 MB RAM and 250 GB HD and I am really impressed, as it works quite well.

(Okay it just rebooted after days running Ingress, but that's not really an incident of the ROM ;)

The only bug I see is I do not get a GPS fix. I have tested it also with your CM10.2 versions and if I remember it correctly, only the version from 22_12_2013-13_29_20 got it correctly. GPS Status app shows some satellites, but actually no fix. Any ideas how to fix it?

Edit: After the last reboot I got a fix, but took a while. May be just a problem with my device? Is there a log file for GPS to monitor?

BTW: I wouldn't buy that hardware version again, in fact because of the poor 2GB flash drive for apps (and image) and the poor 512 MB RAM is also a huge mistake. For example I cannot install Chrome and Ingress together :(

Will it ever be possible to use the HD or an USB memory device (e.g. SD card reader) for the installation of apps?
[Gen9 Android Development] Djirin:
I have never been able to get a quick GPS lock on my 101 G9 Turbo either (not the HD model). I have used GPS test and went into settings then choose Clear AGPS and then hit Update AGPS. But even then it still took a minute or two to lock.

Getting a GPS lock will also depend on if you are in a building or outside under trees or under a clear sky.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
New version available....

Hi a new version is available.

Please note that because of the kernel update, it is meant to be highly experimental. It works stable on my devices, so it would be nice to get some qualified feedback about other device types. Thanks :)

------------ since 11_02_2014-23_03_07 -------------

Important: Highly experimental!

Patched Linux Kernel 3.0.72 (3.0.31-dev from TI + Changes from Google 3.0 kernel series).

Ported alarmtimer from google kernel 3.10.0 series, this makes healthd daemon happy

Ported MMC subsystem from 3.12.0 kernel. Table freezes on high load on internal disc hasn't occured (at least on my devices).

Usual CM updates. (No changelog this time, I scrambled my revision file :( )
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
Quick bug report: the battery is not reporting it's charge. Abjectively, it feels a bit more sluggish than 10.2, but nothing concrete that I can point to. I'll report back when I've had more time, but I wanted to let you know about the battery issue right away. Logcat attached.

Many thanks!

- Dave
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Thanks for your feedback. The ROM might a little bit sluggish, because of the countless

I/batteryd( 615): /system/bin/batteryd: cannot read battery voltage/current

calls. Do you using the zImage which is linked seperate? Yesterday I had some trouble with integrating the stock battery driver.... (as hotfix :cyclops:). So the kernel mustn't used from the 11_02_2014-23_03_07 release file.
[Gen9 Android Development] nr1:
[MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION]:

A rom containing your previous 4.4.2 version including a MMC problem fix would be perfect :)
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
New version available...

Hi,

due some troubles yesterday I decided to compile a new version. Highlights are:

------------ since 12_02_2014-20_55_45 -------------

Important: Highly experimental!

Recompiled due missing archos battery driver support.

Usual CM updates. (Changelog)
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
I would let say, that this is not possible - I have a workaround for the old mmc subsystem which is in turn a little bit ugly.

At first I would know how the current kernel works for different people. Maybe this fallback option is not really needed.

For me it is stable and fast. I'm running the kernel with the new mmc subsystem and battery a couple of days.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
I also running in some GPS issues. For me I can recommend GPS Toolbox. I don't know what it does other than GPS Status, but I have the feeling, that it runs better. Removing the Google Service Framework files (see opening post for details) can also help to get an initial fix. The access to the GPS subsystem is provided by a not open gps library from the archos stock rom. It is not open and I also can't find any information about the GPS subsystem provided from TI. :-/

I think this is possible to remap the device as primary storage target. But not from me, since I don't own these devices. Maybe it is sufficient to modify the fstab file in the root folder of the device, but I don't know. Sorry ... :o
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
I just installed the latest build, and it's running much better! I'm even running ART as my engine for the time being.

Update: I successfully ran "Angry Birds: Star Wars" and "Toddler Cars 2" under ART; my 2-year-old approves of this release!

How to best do an update from a previous version of this 4.4.2 rom, to latest without losing all settings / apps? (on windows)

BTW, great job and thanks for all you do to keep our Archos tablets alive!!!
[Gen9 Android Development] stevemp:

No, you don't need this zImage anymore. I left it for reference in the opener thread.

BTW. Do know someone how to put the device in USB drive mode, I mean when I connect my device to the PC, I want that it behaves like a mass storage device. (I saw this on my other Android devices).
[Gen9 Android Development] mordesku:
Try changing "usb computer connection" in settings->storage it should be "mass storage"
[Gen9 Android Development] Sargeue:
I dont see that usb setting in settings, other than Debugging
[Gen9 Android Development] Sargeue:
I just connected the usb and copy Archos.ext4.update to root of device and flash initramfs and zImage in recovery.
[Gen9 Android Development] nr1:
Which path / folder did you copy the 'Archos.ext4.update' into?

//edit: ok found it out, just directly copy it over the old 'archos.ext4' in /data/local, reboot, flash initramfs and zImage.

I first copied the file via pc to the sd card.

Then moved the file with an root file browser from Play store to final location.

Reboot, flash the other stuff and you're done

[MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION]:

I had it the 2nd time now, that the device didn't shutdown properly after doing a normal shutdown. The device pretended to shutdown, screen got black and so on, however the status led stayed green.

I didn't recognize and finally the battery got completed drained (green led was still on when i recognized it).

I then tried to reset the tablet (10 seconds push the start button), and the led was out now.

When i then tried to started the tab again, the led only blinked 3 times but nothing else was happenning (already thought now it's broken).

After leaving the device connect to the charger for half an hour or something like this, it was luckily possible to start to device again .

However Android showed 0% battery and it took several hours (much longer than usual) to charge the battery again.

Maybe some problem in shutdown mechanism?
[Gen9 Android Development] Sargeue:
Here is what I did and it worked fine:

1. Have a rooted Rom and SDE installed first, like freezenooks Rom. Instructions are in this thread...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171742

2. Install this Rom using the same instructions as above. IE: Turn on tablet and attach usb cable to pc and you will see a new drive in explorer. Copy archos.ext4.update to this new drive. Reboot tablet (when finished copy) into recovery. (Hold power and volume down buttons and release buttons when you see Archos splash screen.) In recovery goto Developer Edition Menu and go to flash initramfs and zImage. Connect usb cable again and copy the initramfs and zImage files to new drive again then reboot, leaving cable attached until tablets starts to reboot.

This is the only and simplest way to explain it. Or if your familar with ADB, just follow instructions in this thread. Both worked for me! Hope this helps.
[Gen9 Android Development] ophirb:
Is there a kernel with oc I can use with this ROM?

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Shutdown or Suspend?

In case of a suspend: Seems that a wakelock has overtaken the control and prevents the device to suspend into ram.

I also had this, but I recognized this earlier as you and rebooted my tablet in this case (I had no time to figure out, whats going wrong).

Maybe the battery was so much drained that the device wasn't able to provide enough power to work correctly.

Can you please check your wakelocks? (Please post the output from the following command:)

adb shell "echo mylock > sys/power/wake_lock"

(reference: How can I see which wakelocks are active)

In case of error: It's possible that the kernel has detected that something went wrong and halted the system and waits forever (which also consumes some power...).

In this case, when recognizing earlier it is possible to switch off the device (hold power for >=10sec) and immediately switch it on. Then after the bootup, perform the following:

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg >out.txt

. With some luck the memory (hardware) doesn't loose to much information and the cause of the hanging device can be read (or at least interpreted).

This is normal when battery is nearly completely emptied. When the led is blinking, that means the archos boot loader is trying to charge the battery up to a defined voltage, and after that the system boots up.

When developing and adjusting the battery driver, I managed it to get a step lower: When the boot loader can't be load because of an battery which is almost empty, then the OMAP4 hardware tries to charge the battery (according their specs).

Then the LED is then switched on constantly. I plugged this device on/off a few times and the expected blinking LED signal was reached... :cyclops: .
[Gen9 Android Development] nr1:
ok, thanks for explanation.

For me it happened when doing a shutdown.

I'll try to provide further info next time it happens.
[Gen9 Android Development] ophirb:
This is really a nice rom. I like it although it is a bit heavy on this rather weak device. However it does make the user experience richer.

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] TXFI:
Unlike the official ROMs or freezenook's builds, this ROM fails to automatically mount (EXT2 formatted) microSD cards or USB drives:

- microSD can be mounted manually using: mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mount/point

- USB drive can be mounted by following these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48716287&postcount=159 although USB OTG Helper crashes and I had to check /dev/block to find which device it was (/dev/block/sda1) in order to mount it the same way as the microSD card
[Gen9 Android Development] TXFI:
Also "Cell standby" seems to be eating up the battery quite fast. This behaviour seems to be the same in Airplane mode as well, possibly even faster.. Any thoughts on how I could disable cellular features, while keeping the USB port active for my USB drive?
[Gen9 Android Development] unasoto:
is it possible to move the back, home and menu buttons closer together and back to the lower left hand corner like they were in stock. stock rom I could use the tablet one handed and reach all three buttons with my thumb, now they're in the middle and in landscape I can't.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Don't care about. This is a "only view" issue. I copied a power_profile.xml from somewhere to see at least some values in android. The RIL daemon is turned on on boot but don't consumes very much power (the usb device is plugged off, that counts).

Maybe someone can adjust the values in this file....	volunteers ?
[Gen9 Android Development] nr1:
Unfortunately now also experiences several "deaths of device".

The device can't be 'waked' up from black screen and has to be completely reset.

Will try to collect more info

Hi there,

a new version is available. Highlights are:

------------ since 26_02_2014-22_34_21 -------------

P2P Wifi config changes (Inspired by CM gerrit change: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/60050/). It is recommended to perform a adb shell rm -rf /data/misc/wifi after you installed the update and reconfigure the WiFi setting.

Minor Kernel changes: Enable HDMI regulator on A80S. (No idea if this works, feedback welcome).

Usual CM updates. (Nice one for example: Update process is now multithreaded ([1/2] Speed up booting on multicore devices.) )

Very good ! The kernel issue is now gone. I missed to re-enabled some "phy" (power supply) function references, which I initial disabled due some code changes from TI. :angel:

Now can please try to modify the device specific fstab file according the last suggested changes?

Maybe you can also modify the init.rc and increase the loglevel. Then you can provide some logcat outputs?!

Could you help somebody, how I can install this rom via Windows(8)?

Many thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] theantilag:
Install ext2fsd in order to mount ext in windows. That will allow you to create the local folder and copy the files.
[Gen9 Android Development] gazsyka:
Thanks, I tried it, but I could not write ext4 under windows 8. So I tried under linux, make folder, copy to archos.ext4.update to mount device local folder (<sde>/local) reboot, and copied the kernels files, but when I rebooted nothing was happened, just I see the archos logo.

do you have any idea what was happened?

Sorry, I'm not linux user.

[Gen9 Android Development] OberQuaker:
First i have to say - thanks for this really great ROM!

But i have a "little" problem:

I updated from 12_02_2014-20_55_45 to 26_02_2014-22_34_21 and i have no superuser anymore.

I've done "Reset Android & Storage", transfered the ROM to "/local/archos.ext4" and then “initramfs.cpio.lzo” und “zImage“.

Everything is working fine and stable, but there's no superuser. I checked this also with the app "Root Checker Basic".

Update: Curious, after a reboot the Root Checker acknowledged the root acces. Is there no "Super User" app in the appl list again?

My next problem is to get the FlashPlayer working. I can install it, but it's not working in the browser (Dolphin) or apps. ("You need flash player plugin" or "Plugin is not working").

Did you install Dolphin jetpack??

[Gen9 Android Development] OberQuaker:
No, i use the normal version of Dolphin. But i have the same problem after i installed Jetpack.

Flash is generally not working on the whole system.

I have also a problem that players (video, music, etc.) stops sometimes and the cpu is busy at 100%.

When i close the player, open the player again, then there's a message that something can't be written on the storage, or there's no space left on storage. It seems like a issue about user rights.

I found a forum post, where someone advise to copy the rom to the device with a special parameter to set some access rights.

I will check this out ...

Problem waking from sleep

I'm having a frequent issue where the tablet won't wake up after it's been sitting unused for an extended period of time, usually overnight. (Deep sleep?) When this happens, the green power LED is on, but pressing the power button does not wake the tablet up. I'm unable to connect to ADB via the USB port when this happens, so unfortunately I can't provide a logcat. The only way to use the tablet after this happens is to restart it by holding down the Power and Volume Down until it reboots. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
[Gen9 Android Development] jawiler:
Yes, I'm seeing that also. I'm not sure if deep sleep is enabled in this ROM so I figured it was just shutting down to save power?
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
What kind of device it is? A 4460 or 4430 powered device?
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
Archos 80 G9 4430 w/ 512M of RAM. About as base a model as you can get. :)
[Gen9 Android Development] Sargeue:
I am having a similar problem about sleep wake (I think) I have the 101 G9 512 model with a fresh install, when I boot tab, there is no touch at all!

When I connect USB to PC, I adb shell> setprop persist.world.domination 1> reboot and touch is fine, but I have to do this everytime at bootup. Any ideas? Thx!

I think it is a delvik cache command!
[Gen9 Android Development] jawiler:
I'm also using the base model 4430, if you can figure it out that would be great! But if not, you've already given my old device new life.

Hi!

I would like to mention, that I have uploaded a new version:

Try to prevent sleep of death by disabling DPLL cascading. Also enabled kernel development option to automatically reboot in case of hanging tasks.

I don't have these annoying "sleep of deaths" cases anymore since I disabled the DPLL cascading. Feedback is welcome,

don't hesitate to include some /proc/last_kmsg files in case it happens again.
