I think its safe to say that with a little more work, they will sort out the issues with it. All in all it seems to be pretty new tech with the software still in its infantile stages. The benchmarks speak for themselves, specially when they also test the Galaxy Tab which is suposed to be top dog for Android tabs... I do wish the G-tab had its screen though. Super Amoled screen is fantastic. If the Notion Ink Adam ends up being junk, I will prob end up with this. Just because XDA owns all.

[Desire General] dpb135:
Hi all, I am able to flash many roms from the devs section (rooted with Amon Ra recovery). However I have tried to flash 3 different HD roms from dev section and I always get the same error in recovery

"E:\Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mckblk0)

(No such device)

E:Can't mount SD EXT:

E:Failure at line 11 (or 7 depending on rom)

copy_dir PACKAGE:sdext SDEXT:

Installation aborted

The SD is partitioned using amon ra, also tried EXT3 and 4.

Anybody know how to fix this?
[Desire General] superste2201:
Ok, so you have

2

partitions on your SD card, first 1 is fat32 and second is ext4 at least 512mb?
[Desire General] dpb135:
i have two partitions but i don't know which is first or second. I use amonra recovery to create the partitions. I always use recovery to create the partitions for a2sd for other desire roms (non hd) and it always seems to work...
[Desire General] aaa:
I think it is better to arrange the partitions using gparted, partition wizard, fdisk, etc.

I am using partition wizard and it works for HD ROMs (RCmixHD and rotating Z).
[Desire General] subirsingh28:
Hi...well this is kinda strange but me n my freind with same SD cards, same partition Fat32 and Ext2...he is able to flash all/any ROM but i cannot...i am currently using LeeDroid 2.3D and its working just fine....the only difference he is having HTC WWE ROM and i m having O2 UK ROM..please suggest/help

thanx in advance
[Desire General] ldn.sti..hf:
I'm using BNZ 1.8C(a DHD ROM), i use recovery RA2.0.1 for partition my sdcard.With swap=0, EXT=1G, everything is ok, i also can flash ReflexTsense HD ROM. Hopes make a little help.

*** Archos Devices Only ***

This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.

You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)

SUMMARY

v5-Stable -- (recommended!)

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.

Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.

Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list

Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)

Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it

Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)

REBOOT!!

Sign into Market (Google Account Login)

Follow the Market FIX instructions below

MARKET FIX:

This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.

Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)

Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')

REBOOT again

Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!

If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.

MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):

Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.

RESET DEVICE:

Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0

v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?

TweetDeck

Slingplayer

Moblox

Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] orenf:
any reason to re-install from v3?

I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.

I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.

Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
[Gen8 Android Development] whoelsec:
Kenyu you are the man!
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
[Gen8 Android Development] x64newcomer:
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.

My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.

Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us. :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.

The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!! :o
[Gen8 Android Development] Powershot:
Just a short note:

If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.

To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!

BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck

I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?

Archos 101
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
excellent - thankyou kenyu

one question from a newbi

when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files

how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps

thanks Stephen
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Just use the apk file.

The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
got it - so i could load the apps from the zip file instead of the market ?

- Stephen
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.

Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.

Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
[Gen8 Android Development] lasphyxial:
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. :) like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want :)
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.

If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

I have 70IT, 2.0.71FW, market v4

WiFi works as it should.

Hour or two before updating from 2.0.54 to 2.0.71 I've even fixed WPA2 encryption on my router :)

Channel 1 B/G I don't have N WiFi router...
[Gen8 Android Development] Robredo:
My WiFi router is an N. Maybe that's the problem?

Anyway I've given up on Market. It messes up the sytem and is such a big hassle. Gonna try that Black Market thing to see if it works...
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
For whatever reasons, I cannot put together a working Wifi NetworkLocation and 2.2.7 Market. I've tried dozens of combinations and nothing works :mad:

I've been primarily using Cyanogens gApp packages, but Vending.apk is 1.82 in all the ones where NetworkLocation works, and the other ones I found in random forums that have Market 2.26 or 2.27, NetworkLocation doesn't work.

Basically, we're stuck until we get root or a working Cyanogen gApps package is made where both work. These Cyanogen packages are all NexusOne builds.

I recommend staying on v4 unless you REALLY want the new Market (v5.1).
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Do I need to do a reset to upgrade from v5 to v5.1?

Thanks,

Tesla
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Probably. Until we get root access, we're at the mercy of hacks and resets.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
I unboxed my Archos 70 yesterday and since I've been trying to get Market apps. I am running 5.1 and it is running beautifully but when I try to download an app, it just says Downloading and never progresses. I've skimmed through and seen other with the same problem but no clear resolution. Any suggestions? It is brand new (and I'm not supposed to be playing with it yet since Santa is bringing it Christmas) so I don't mind erasing it.
[Gen8 Android Development] ArchosGamer:
unable to download from market

Other people that have encountered that problem have found it to be related to the firewall and/or port permission settings on their router.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
I'm able to download apps from my phone connected to the same wireless network, trying to download the same app and it works great. So much for the firewall restriction theory. I'm a network engineer and I even put a exception in our firewall for my wireless IP, nothing.

EDIT: Reset my device to factory, installed version 4, cleared the cache and Framework data, still not downloading. The Market loads, I can see the apps, select them, it just says "Starting download..." and never progresses.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Have you installed the latest Archos firmware (2.0.71)? If you have, then I'm not sure what your issue is. I've done at least 100 resets during my v4/v5 process and not once have I seen it stuck as you've described. I have seen that on my Samsung Fascinate cell phone a few times, but a reboot usually fixed it.

If you haven't updated your firmware, do it... there's an issue with WiFi if your using a certain channel.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
Using 2.0.71 - First thing I did when I got the device. Unfortunately I'm unable to tether with my cell so I can't test another connection. I'll check it when I get home tonight.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Can you download from AppsLib (Archos market)?
[Gen8 Android Development] hamzer11:
I had this problem first time as well. I just went and did the fix again and then reset. It might take a few times but it should work. Make sure you have an account setup too.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
Yes. I'm going to try to clear and reboot a couple of times.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
Finally, after clearing the device back to stock once, installing 5.1, then clearing the cache and Framework 5 times, it started downloading.
[Gen8 Android Development] Sergej63:
Hi kenyu,

i have 2.2.7 market and a working wifi location.

I've used your old V3 installer but with the attached NetworkLocation.apk

Once installed, has automatically updated my market to 2.2.7 and the wifi location continue working.

Bye

Sergio
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Thanks. I'll take a look, but the v3 version actually was missing alot of core framework and lib files... but I'll play around and see if I can get it stable.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Thanks to Sergej63, we now have a working v5! The Market starts at v2.09, but will update after a short period of time on its own. NetworkLocation also works thanks to the file Sergio supplied! (its crazy how fragmented all these files are!)

This will be the last version of this installer for Froyo since auto Market updates now work. Gingerbread will be the next version that I may or may not work on, but the source for the installer is downloadable for the next person to use.

You'll probably still have to reset since this is all hacked together from different packages, but you're welcome to try to overwrite before reseting.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Working location and new market are awesome. Thanks to everyone for their great work!
[Gen8 Android Development] tshaw1:
I loaded V5 after installing V5 Beta last night, no reset before... rebooted after, a few minutes passed it went for the new Market, location is working... we're good to go. Thank you both!!

[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Thank you Sergej63 and kenyu73!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] lagoskon:
I think Sergej63 name should me mentioned in first post for his help to all of us. Many thanks kenyu73 for making Archos 70IT better tablet.
[Gen8 Android Development] ratickle:
NetworkLocation.apk Won't Install

I followed previous instructions and have V5 working. However, when I try to install NetworkLocation, it will not install. I've tried rebooting and the "market fix" to no avail.

Does NetworkLocation require a reset before install? If so, should it be installed before or after V5 apps?

UPDATE: Did the following and now everything is working:

1) Went ahead and did a reset.

2) Loaded Kenju73's gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk

3) Rebooted and did the "Market Fix". (Market is now the latest version.)

4) Loaded Sergej63's NetworkLocation.apk. (Ignored a warning that a system app was being replaced.)

5) Rebooted again just for good measure.

6) Loaded back all my purchased and free apps.

7) The Weather Bug app now works. (Because of the addition of NetworkLocation.apk I assume.)

8) Many thanks to Kenju73 and Sergej63!
[Gen8 Android Development] mrkniceguy:
Just wiped again, installed v5 and did the fix. Seems to be working great. Location worked without any other fixes. Awesome work. I think I can actually get my device all set up now. I'd been putting it of while having to reset all the time. ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] jknut:
Is anyone else having problems with the download link in the original post?

I cannot post the link since I'm a new user.

[Gen8 Android Development] lebdiabolic:
Tried the new v5

Hello Kenyu

Thanks again for your update and fixes.

I gave the Archos 70 with the latest firmware 2.0.71

I had your previous fix v2 on my Froyo. google applications worked perfectly. I just could not get Google maps and other hidden applications on the market. I had adobe reader, adobe flash and youtube though! :D

Market was working flawlessly with the latest update.

Today I used the "old installer (v2)" and chose to remove files. Rebooted, then went to "Uninstall" and removed the installer and the market. I rebooted again.

I then downloaded your v5 installer and installed it.

Rebooted. At first I had a wifi connection problem. Rebooted the router and it connected again. Launched the market, loggin in and it connected to the market with the old version.

Did the market fix, and accessed the revamped market again.

I still cannot find Gmail, Maps or ADW Launcher to name a few.

I guess I have to reset it and install it again?
[Gen8 Android Development] lebdiabolic:
Did a reset.

Cannot connect to the wifi to access the market :(

will update you when i find a solution.
[Gen8 Android Development] ratickle:
I've had a couple of occasions when the Wi-Fi doesn't work after a reset. Try a full power off and shutdown instead of just a warm reboot. I think reboot sometimes doesn't do a full reset of the hardware.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
For those manually side loading NetworkLocation.apk... that's not needed. v5 includes that file.

For those on a version prior to v5-final.... I recommend a full reset, but you can try a remove/install (you can do the remove button from any version).

For those having issues finding Maps, WeatherBug or ADWLaunch, etc.... make sure your doing the Market Fix correctly. If it doesn't show up do it AGAIN. It shows up fine when I look for it and many others. I wish there where a better solution then the Market Fix, but until root comes along, we're stuck with these crappy steps :rolleyes:
[Gen8 Android Development] Tsusai:
Random question: I know in the Eclair (2.1) gapps4archos, there is a gsm.prop file listed in the /data/test/eclair/system folder, yet no symlink to it from the original system. I'm not home to check my other archos, but I think it actually added a t-mobile tab, and i think i could see protected apps. Does that file work on Archos (I'd assume the fingerprint would have to be updated though)
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Yeah, there isn't a symlink for it. I've played around with the file, but didnt' see any differents. Same with /etc/permissions/features.xml
[Gen8 Android Development] lebdiabolic:
I went back home. tried the wifi there, first try did not work. had to restart modem and router.

now i am connected to the internet.

loggin the market. wnet back out. did the market fix (correctly), rebooted and I still cannot find Gmail neither youtube :(

i will try the market fix AGAIn

*edit: did it again and still I cannot find them, no skype no youtube, no gmail ... :(
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Sorry to hear. I can only suggest that you do a factory reset and start over. There's nothing special with the gAppsInstaller. It basically only copies the Market files over to the correct folder. There isn't any special coding or configurations.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tsusai:
Thanks for the info. I have an idea (feel free to stop me XD). I'll backup the entire disk structure before and after the eclair gapps4archos install, and then compare the two sets. I'll be looking for modified files. There is no symlink for it in eclair archos, so I would presume something is edited to use it or its not used (can't remember *wants to go home*).
[Gen8 Android Development] jsperri:
kenyu73, Tsusai: same for me. I have been playing with gapps4archos lately to include Eclair support in ArcTools. I can confirm that on my Eclair test machine I am getting the same market without copying gsm.prop in /data/test/eclair/system

In the end, I dropped this file and kept only a minimal package for Eclair market install, it currently gives a functional Market that quickly self upgrades to 2.2.7. Still I have missing apps and I can't get back with a Market fix for the moment ;(

If anyone running Eclair want to try and give feedback on latest ArcTools 0.35, you are very welcome.

(sorry as a new user, I can't post links, but ArcTools should be easy to find ;))
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, but the gApps4Archos2 installer only copied files too. I decompiled the apk back to .java files and there's nothing special. Just copying and setting permissions for the symlinks.
[Gen8 Android Development] sequitur:
I went to settings and had it reset the android app secton, not a full factory reset or format. Everything came up with ver 5 and the market looks great. Just one thing. I used AppMonster to install the apps I had installed previously and that worked fine too. However unlike in the past the market doesn't find side loaded apps. I tried the suggested reset just in case, loaded new apps, rebooted. Both my A101 and A70 are doing the same thing. I hooked up adb and nothing jumps out at me as weird like multiple installs.

Any suggestions? I had previous markets that did not update to the new UI. Does this actually need a full factory reset?

Thx
