Hello,

Now I want to install the GoogleMarket in the UrukDroid. Having downloaded the UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2 in the Archos 101 and put it in /data/UrukUpdate/, but don't know how to proceed.

Why and how it will 'Installation process will start automatically and silently, ....' ?

Please help.

Thank you very much.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Where did you read about putting this _3_ files? Read howto once again please.

Check if the file is gone from /data/UrukUpdate, if not use update force from UrukConfig. After all just reboot device.
[Gen8 Android Development] andre.mud:
I should start automatically. If you check the /data/UrukUpdate and it is empty the process is over. You can reboot and you should have market.

I've read that it only works if you copy with ASTRO of use terminal. Through USB does not work? I used terminal emulator.

Hi all,

Question about urukdroid 0.7

Using the hack of market at the first page, i can start market but when i download app from it, it say "Not enough space" ! May i know why ? thanks.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What was your exact method of installation (simple/advanced, partition sizes, internal/external). What is your device, did you copy /data.

What is output of this (user terminal or ssh)

df -h
ls -ld /data
ls -ld /data/app
ls -ld /cache
[Gen8 Android Development] andre.mud:
I did, it says usb-tethering should work. (usb cable, not 3g usb stick).

But I can't get it to work. I will try further.

I've just tested for about 30 minutes with my BT keyboard and had no problems.

I AM experience devices freezes and have had to reset my device several times. I never had to do that with the stock firmware. Are there any settings I can change to improve stability? I disabled compcache, but that hasn't helped.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Well it happened to me twice - can't say "often" - but Its noticeable - only during heavy graphics load - so far.

You can't "switch it" - but you could try narrow down situations when it happens - so I could try fix it.

[Gen8 Android Development] EP2008:
It's happened during the following scenarios - all requiring a device reset:

1) Watching a youtube video using the youtube app.

2) Refreshing the app list on the atrackdog app.

3) Using the Facebook app.

4) Entering a note in Evenote (I do this at least 10 times a day and have NEVER experienced a device freeze until yesterday).

5) Surfing the internet using Miren (again, force close is normal, but a full device freeze is something new).

As you can see, these are quite random and I have no idea what could be causing the freeze issue at this point.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Ok this is your problem. Android (it's install process) is so smart that it can't use datafs sizes bigger then 3GB (or something similar) - I don't remember.

Another things is that in 0.7 EasyInstall there is no option to choose such partition sizes. So please recall yourself your installation steps (partition sizes) - since it looks like some sort of error in EE. Anyway without some decent Linux knowledge you can't fix it - so you should reinstall it.
[Gen8 Android Development] chipg07:
Major bug found in 0.7

If i download wallpapers using the app zedge, it saves them in the zedge folder, but upon reboot, they are all gone. The same thing happens with the app tubemate and .mp4 files.

V 0.6 didn't have this issue... can you check into this please?

Also v.06 i had installed on the sdcard. V0.7 is internal

[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
google market can't handle data partition > 2GB, no difference with hacked marked or not. at least with the desire a lot of people with partition > 2GB reported.

not an android os issue.

google market also doesn't like /data/data to be on extended partitions, only primary partitions.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This can be true, but I'm not sure if it's market - but that's easy to check

This can't be true.
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
Exactly..there is a thread out there somewhere..I'll find it, because I ran into this when I made my partitions bigger when installing one of the other Uruk versions. If you go even the slightest over 2 gig it gives you that error. Stupid, but thats what it is.

compcache all the way!

First of all, thank you for a great rom :-)

You should consider replacing the linux swap with backing_swap since there is compache involved in the equation.

They are built to work together way more efficient than just compache and linux swap.

It wont "swap away" to both compcache and linux swap. Instead it will use it's own filebased swap in harmony with the memoryswap to get the most out of it :-)

For you guys that want to try it out it's a real "quickfix" ;-)

1. Disable swap in UrukConfig app (disabled and down - You can laborate with turning it off and on later / you dont have to touch compcache right now)

2. Manually create the swapfile from shell. (root shell)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/bswap01.file bs=1M count=32 >/dev/null 2>&1

3. edit /system/etc/uruk.d/compcache

Change the following:
modprobe ramzswap disksize_kb=$compcache_memkb
#/usr/local/sbin/rzscontrol $compcache_dev1 --init

To:

modprobe ramzswap
/usr/local/sbin/rzscontrol $compcache_dev1 --backing_swap=/bswap01.file --memlimit_kb=$compcache_memkb --init
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=$compcache_swappiness
sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50 # google this, you can play around with it quite much :-)

Save the sucker. ( Remember to backup the original ;-) )

4. Start UrukConfig app and change compache values to Mem:10 and swapiness somewhere between 20 - 60 and Enable/Start it... if it wasen't already running...

To see that everything is working just run from shell.

[root@urukdroid root]# rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -s
BackingSwap:	/bswap01.file
DiskSize:	32748 kB
MemLimit:	10240 kB
NumReads:	686
NumWrites:	2246
FailedReads:	0
FailedWrites:	0
InvalidIO:	0
NotifyFree:	434
ZeroPages:	179
GoodCompress:	100 %
NoCompress:	0 %
PagesStored:	1323
PagesUsed:	224
OrigDataSize:	5292 kB
ComprDataSize:	879 kB
MemUsedTotal:	896 kB
BDevNumReads:	138
BDevNumWrites:	398
[root@urukdroid root]#

If that doesnt work try to start it from shell and see what happends.

/system/etc/uruk.d/compcache stop
/system/etc/uruk.d/compcache start

Now you have 10mb compcache and a 32mb fileswap. This will make sure that your compcache is used to 100% and if it needs it will swap to disk but not until it really needs it :-)

You can never have more compcache than the size of the swapfile.

Now it's just to play around with the swappines and so on to se whats right for you :-)

Hope the instructions where good enuff, getting all swapped here :D
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
And you get exactly the same effect with just enabling swap ;) - sorry.

And now to explain:

I've read compcache docs while compiling it - and there is no difference whether you run additional disk swap this way (as you wrote) - or just turn on swap with proper priority.

So in Uruk you have compcache swap running on priority 100, and disk swap running on priority 0. This means system will use entire compcache first before using any disk swap.

This is more user friendly way.
[Gen8 Android Development] Phantazm77:
haha well it looks neater this way and also i didnt get the compcache to use 100% good compress before. So i stand by my point but swap has always been a ***** anyhow hehe

Quick fix tough and it will give people the fredoom of tweaking around in urukconfig 0.8 ;-)

Keep up the good work mate!

[Gen8 Android Development] butlerm1977:
After a few days of troublesome upgrade attempts from .6 to .7 i've finally gotten .7 running on internal memory. I was originally running .6 on sdcard.

But now my big problem is NO WIRELESS. Sucks for me right now. Back on .6 I had no issues whatsoever with Wireless. Currently I cannot connect to 2 AP's I've setup. One using WPA and one is Open. When I enable WIFI it scans but never finds anything.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot that?

My upgrade nightmare went from bad to worse. I tried running the Easy Upgrade Method installing on internal, but it never seemed to take. Then it stopped seeing the SD Card during the step where you copy the UrukDroid-install.tgz (I was doing the full install, not upgrade - which maybe I should have done that instead).

Finally I decided to try to put everything back to stock and retry. I removed SDE and put the latest stock firmware back on. Then reinstalled SDE and then reattempted the .7 install to Internal using Easy method. That worked. But no i'm stuck with no wifi. When I go home tonight i'll test on my home WIFI.

Very strange problem.

I've tried two different games (Haypi Kingdom and Restaurant Story) and both have said that my device is already registered - it gives me a user name and everything...

How is this possible if I haven't even played these games? Is there a device ID somewhere that suppose to be different, but somehow is not between our devices (i.e. because we used custom firmwares, etc.)?

I have encountered some strange things, here are my steps:

I tried to:

1. uninstall SDE

2. re-install SDE

3. fresh install UrukDroid0.7

I am sure that I have chosen INTERNAL SD in advanced mode of installation,

but the EXTERNAL SD seems not to be formatted after the installation => waste of space for useless(?) roofs+data

Also, I can see: UrukDroid 0.6 Rootfs: init..

even if the booting interface shows UrukDroid0.7[beta] instead of 0.6

Is the situation normal?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Compcache is a swap memory - but in RAM (I know it sounds strange and odd - but it makes sense). The gain you have is because of compression (usually 60-70% gain) - but it's still SWAP - so this memory can't be used directly (by system, apps etc). It's much faster then disk swap, but you can't have it too much (it uses our precious RAM). So you can have compcache or swap (writing swap I mean swap memory on disk) or both. Having both means for your system that it will use compcache and when it's fully used, will start to use disk swap.

Anyway - it's hard to do something "best to all of you" because it depends on how you use your tablets. So I've choose to make compcache active by default and swap on disk (aka swap service) not - but you should try what is best for you.

Internal means - build in memory, SDcard is removable SDCard. There is no such a thing like internal sdcard.
[Gen8 Android Development] andre.mud:

Not sure if it's Uruk or something that I have done, but for some reason my archos won't show up on the Android web market. It showed up there as just "Phone" for a day or two, but going back this morning it appears to have gone missing :/

Just wondering, could some other Uruk users take a look? I might be able to eliminate Uruk from the equation at least.

Hello :)

I quite new to the Archos 101 (bought mine 4 days ago!) and had a first try following this method HERE but it didn't worked (stuck at second Archos logo).

So I would like to use UrukDroid but before starting, I guess that having a clean device would be better...So if I uninstall Developper version, format the Archos and then reinstall official firmware (2.1.08) would it be enough?

In this way I could follow your howto step by step and have all chances on my side.

Does it sound correct or am I totally mistaken?

Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Just checked and mine doesn't show up either. Running Uruk 0.7 on SD, A101 IT 8GB.

It did previously show up when I was running Uruk 0.6 on SD card. I'm wondering if this is because Uruk 0.7 has a modified build.prop to enable more apps in the mobile Market?

Edit: Ok, just tried editing the 0.7 build.prop to remove the Galaxy Tab fingerprint but still not showing in the web Market. Not that easy I guess!

To use this kernel boot into Development Menu and flash kernel. Copy the zimage from the link and the intramsxxx file from the Uruk .07 install/root folder.

The install was not stable.

I have tried 5 more times and it seems to me that doing an internal install on a a101 with a root larger than 512MB is unstable.

I went back to a 512MB with a 1.5G Data and it is stable.
