Well it's not a script - but will do ;). Go to directory where you can write and were is more then 100MiB of free space and do the line. It will sync devices (flush all write caches), write 100MiB file filled with zeros, and fush caches once again to measure real write speed without buffers. Then easy math... and my laptop disk has write speed 16,66MiB/s

I think you have done a great job, and I will try your mod v0.2 tomorrow. mod v0.1 forces me to read carefully and to pull out my rusty linux knowledge. I came from Android phones (i.e. G1 and NexusOne) and probably too pampered by the Gods in this forum with custom recovery and ROMs, and scripts to partition the sdcard correctly... I am still hoping that you will get us there sometime in the not too distant future :))
[Gen8 Android Development] Tzbob:
Thanks man I'll run this when I have some time(going to start studying in a few minutes, finally -.-'!).

And to add: I've finished compiling a working Kernel, I overwrote the cpu tables with the frequencies, 250MHz, 1000MHz, 1100MHz, 1200MHz, 1300MHz, with increased voltages for 1.1/1.2/1.3, I've tested up till 1.2 so far, 2670 in Quadrant, stable running Games & Still has a working Video Player.

1.3 shall be tested soon but it looks promising!

More good news is that 250MHz still wakes up fast from standby without problems.

Next up: testing 1.3 stability, lowering voltages on 250/1.1/1.2/1.3, going higher if 1.3 is stable ^^

Oh and aur0n :s if it's not to much to ask I'd like to know how you add a cross compiled module to the kernel?:s I have no idea how so I can't implement Nano, it's pretty much the only thing I'm missing.

My clocks seem to be more stable than ardafdats' although his anti-lag fixes seem like they could be something good.

You also mentioned that you didn't like the overclocking method used, but I think rewriting the cpu frequency table is the standard way to do it? If not please point me towards the right direction^^
[Gen8 Android Development] NotoriousBDG:
Try the steps in article "w w w . thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/how-to-view-modify-and-recreate-initrd-img/". I also put my modified initrd at "d l .dropbox.com/u/116838/ArchosGEN8/initramfs.cpio.gz". The modified initrd attempts to mount / from the second partition on the sdcard.

I'm new to the forums, so I had to obfuscate the URL by adding extra spaces.
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
Well done!!! Thanks for your good work. I am expecting to see how much voltage should be given to run 1300Mhz and how hot the machine is :cool:

The anti-lag fix things actually is not done in kernel level. It is a script that wraps the /data/ , /data/app , d-v cache, etc. to a single EXT4 loopback partition. The performance seems not much differ in quadrant benchmark, I will test more or it.
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
$aur0n:

Any chance you can make this a bit easier to install?
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Good news: The .02-Version works with the OC-Kernel. I configured 256 MiByte Swap on the /data-Partition, works like a charm. Since the system began to kill apps at around 200 MiByte Swap used the last time I tested, with swappiness at 100, I guess, it's a good swap size for the Archos.

Both internal and SD card are mounted at the correct locations (/mnt/storage and /mnt/storage/sdcard), video player is able to find it's stuff.

Great work, everybody! Looking forward to 1300 MHz and more improvements. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Poussun:
I have the same issue.

Installation went fine, but

* Lots of problems to install sw from the market : multiple installations at the same time fail, some downloads fail, market hangs and stops working

* Some applications hangs, and must be shutdowned. Reboot required.

* Wifi connection lost after sleep : try to disable/enable and the message is 'error'. Reboot required
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Did you use the easy install? My problem with Marketplace was due to hacking $aur0n's install. I had no space left on the root partition, which caused marketplace to corrupt when it tried to update itself to the latest version. I have no problems now, except it hangs on reboot, and I guarantee that's my fault.
[Gen8 Android Development] Poussun:
Yes I used the easy install way... and installed the market pkg through the console
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Hmm, wish I could help more. If you do "df -h" in a console and check the free space on rootfs, you could at least see if you have enough space left for the market update that it will push after opening the marketplace for the first time. Has it already updated to the side by side version(with the curved divider between the Featured Apps and the Market side)?
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
I have been using soft locker as a temporary solution for the wifi drop,

Just a question, is anyone elses network location fix working, i.e. via google maps?
[Gen8 Android Development] nenadr:
For all those who installed easy install uruk-0.6 with "google stuff" in .tbz2 file from first post, and have porblem that network location service doesn't work:

Reboot

Install gAppsInstaller-V5-final from kenyu73 thread

When it asks - Reboot

Start market (it may throw error)

Do market fix from kenyu73 thread, 1st post

Reboot again

Start market - should work

Start maps - should get your location in couple of seconds

This procedure fixed network location for me.
[Gen8 Android Development] PatrickKnott:
Hey Guys :),

i installed version 0.6 today. If i want to access the /data Folder every App crash?

Any solution for this?
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
how can i use 0.6 with the oc kernel ?
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
Thanks! That fixed it for me too
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes this works, and was even posted in FAQ thread. Since this package (for Uruk) is made from kenyu files, its enough to install gAppsInstaller run apps (maps) and uninstall gApps - they only required proper certs to be inserted.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What apps? And what access rights you have on data directory?

ls -dl /data
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Probably end on February...

Hi,

I easy-installed UrukDroid 0.6 and played with it yesterday. I have just install quandrant and updated appslib. When I tried to power off and enter to dev edition, Uruk couldn't boot, it says;

"UrukDroid 0.6 Boot ERROR: Failed to mount rootfs /dev/mmcblk2p2 (255)"

I digg forum and saw similar problems but I couldn't find any solution. Does anybody please help me?

Regards...

And many thanks to this nice work...
[Gen8 Android Development] fly_us:
i did encounter this problem before and only way i make it working again i use another microSD and re-install everything.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I guess the only solution (for now) is to connect it to Linux and to fsck this filesystem. Because it's corrupted. So user scdard reader or boot to stock Android.

Connect to PC with Linux and do

sudo su (or just "su") - go root
fsck.ext4 -fy /dev/sdb2
fsck.ext4 -fy /dev/sdb2

I'll try to make it fixable during boot (quite soon) - but it's always potential risk for data.

The problem is that hard poweroff does not even tries to sync data - and sometimes this may happens.
[Gen8 Android Development] Poussun:
I checked : 59% available - 188mb

It looks ok isn't ?

And yes the Market is updated to the latest version...
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
not saying this is the issue - because OP sounds like it worked before

but ever since first install I have never got location to work from my home - either on archos build or Uruk.

however I went on a course to a hotel in a large city - rather then my rural home - and surprise surprise - location worked !
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
btw - installed easy build 0.6

very nice build (boot up screen on A101 shifted left) - great quadrant scores (1700+)

very smooth - copied data from Archos build - all works great

thanks - keep up the good work - My ATSC USA DVB arrives Monday - so we shall have fun with this )

I'm sure more donations from me are in peoples future to get this working :D
[Gen8 Android Development] furioso:
what happens if I do not see the installation of urukdroid after flashing? Only archos logo appears.

It's an Archos 101 8GB.
[Gen8 Android Development] areicko:
It seems that the link for the urukdroid "easyinstall" 0.6 is dead... Could you re-upload it please ?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] neo6776:
How do i remove this once installed?

Just its on the wifes tablet and she has an issue.

Once i installed 0.6 it was working fine. She rebooted it later and it threw up an error and now when she boots it, it goes back to the original Archos Android 2.1.

Now she cant be bothered with mucking about so wants me to uninstall UrukDroid 0.6.

Also was hoping this had wireless tethering so i could tether it to my x10 mini pro when out and about.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If you still have this problem you may want to try latest initramfs/zimage. It should help - but it's not tested (since it required trashed partition)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1017593/ArchosGEN8/UrukDroid-0.6/initramfs.cpio.gz

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1017593/ArchosGEN8/UrukDroid-0.6/zImage

It's not dead - but links simply changed (look for latest one in first post of this thread) - it's working.
[Gen8 Android Development] skd:
I installed it again this morning and I didn't turn off yet. I will try now and if the problem still there I will flash new initframs.

Thank you for your support...
[Gen8 Android Development] Sean35:
This has been my only issue so far (well,the logo shifting too,but that doesn't effect performance). Trying to flash the oc kernel just prompts reinstallation of UrukDroid, at which point you have no choice but to do if you want to continue booting SDE.

Otherwise, it looks like this is becoming a very polished system. I'm happy. :)
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
for now i switched back to rc2 because of 2 things.

first is,i want to use the oc kernel with 1.2ghz and 2nd is running the system from the internal bacause its faster than my transcend class 6 in terms off acces times.The difference in all day use speed is much bigger than benchmark scores make you believe.

So i hope the 2 issues to get changed in 0.7 .

i can live with rc2 pretty good for now,only big issue i cant install anything over the market for some weird reason

thank you for your great work

i just installed it on my a101 and it is running good

the only thing i am wishing for is an installation on the intern drive...

i read about some great performance gains with the 70 ... but i think you are planning it for the final release
[Gen8 Android Development] fly_us:
i installed 0.6 using EasyInstall and i only got <300MB app space with a 4GB mSD card. Is this because of my card limit or anything wrong?
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
Thanks a lot $auron for your work, I installed 0.6 successfully on internal storage, after some try ;)

In my understanding we HAVE to install it first on SD I'm I correct ? Then we can play as we wish.

Anyway I'm having a bug, don't know if it's Uruk related, when I plug my earphone, the sound switch to it successfully, but when I unplug it, the sound does not come back to speaker but if I plug it back I still have sound in earphones) until I reboot... Do you guys have the same problem ?
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
how does installingg 0.6 on sd ,help with running from internal.

Can someone please explain,and is there then a way to use the oc kernel
[Gen8 Android Development] ViPaSoft:
Hi,

Great FW, thanks.

2 questions though;

1. I copied the Market hack to data\urukupdate and nothing is happening, what have I done wrong?

(I copied it by USB to my sd card renamed to *.xxx, then copied it to the data\urukupdate folder using rootexplorer and then renamed it back to *.tbz2. I also tried to copy it using Archos browser, but I kept getting 'unable to download file')

2. Does this FW run from the SD Card? (I ask because I'm only using a class2 card, but am getting a class6 or higher soon and wondered if I needed to reinstall if I changed the SD Card?)

Thanks in advance and sorry if these have already been asked, but I quickly read through most of the thread, but with over 100 pages, I may have missed something!

Thanks again. (USING Uruk 0.6 EasyInstall by the way)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Please download once again installation package and install it - for really short time (2h or so) after publication I've changed package because of this 'issue'. (it's because I used 1GB SD card for testing and default settings wouldn't feet on it).
[Gen8 Android Development] melax:
Just beautifully done. Thank You.. Very easy to install for a novice like me on my 70. As I tried the linux method for a few days with no luck. So this was a dream come true. I used arctools to install Market. Worked fine. Also using a 4 gb Sandisk class 2 sdhc card. Which I just switched to a Sanddisk class 2 16gb card and everything intalled perfect as well. Clocked at 1000/600. Way way cool on the 1gb storage.
[Gen8 Android Development] fly_us:
Thanks, able to get 1GB app storage now (check via df). I'm too fast at the time you release the first version of 0.6 :D :D :D
[Gen8 Android Development] elmerohueso:

Yep it's over, with yesterday Sunday :) (and not so much Sun(ny) ;) anyway).

I still find entire work on Uruk quite interesting (even so I've promised myself to start _use_ tablet, not to develop on it like so far... ;) ) - so it's not like I can't spend some time on it even on holidays. Anyway - upgrade package is publish (so perhaps I'll get tomorrow less emails/pm's with questions about it :D ).

I'm getting this error while trying to boot to UrukDroid 0.6

Boot ERROR: Failed to mount rootfs /dev/mmcblk2p2 (255)

I just did a hard reset and then this.. How could I fix this?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
You can try initramfs/zImage that I've send few post before for that problem (this may work - but it's not tested) - or connect sdcard to Linux and do fsck (all is in that previous post - from yesterday or something like that).
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
do i need to flash a new zImage when upgrading from 0.5RC2 to 0.6,because i want to use the oc kernel,is this possible?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Upgrade process will flash also Uruk kernel. Later you can try to use other kernels if you want.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
i have 0.6RC2 running from internal memory,is the upgrade good for that too.

0.6 easyinstall wanted always to erase th sd when trying with another zImage(OC Kernel).How can that be prevented?
[Gen8 Android Development] fnetf:
Hy $aur0n, I do it exactly you say. Download in Browser and then moved it to "/data/UrukUpdate" with Rootexplorer. Now I´m waiting since a half hour but nothing happens. Anything wrong ?

Now I make a Reboot and next Time waiting, nothing happens, no update ! :confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
@fnetf

i upgraded my rc2 running from internal.

i downloaded the upgrade file,the moved it with astro to my archos sd and then with root explorer to /data/urukupdate ,upgrade went fine,0.6 seems much faster than rc2 from internal.

i had to use astro and than root explorer because i cant copy from my pc directly to urukupdate ,must be an issue of astro.But this way is fine to.

after moving the file i waited a couple of minutes and saw the system getting slower for a while,a sign that the file is moving.after the slowdown i checked the update folder and saw the file gone like expected.After a reboot upgrade process started and now i am running 0.6 from internal super fast,even thumb keyboard doesnt lag anymore like before.

Will do some further speed testing now,tommorrow i will try if the oc kernel is working

Try to use Force Update from UrukConfig
[Gen8 Android Development] aznmode:
Same question. I'd like to try other kernel to OC.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
ok,i tried the newest oc kernel and the new initram.cpio posted some pages ago,and finally i got it working,1.2ghz on 0.6 is great.

points are only 2300,running rc2 from sd i got 2500 but i think 0.6 from internal is smoother and faster anyways.Didnt check 1.2ghz and 0.6 from sd because i didnt got it to work because i used the wrong initram.

But apart from that i have only good things to say about 0.6,market is finally running again.Hope wifi works better too,because i had lots of problems with it on rc2 waking up from standby

Sent from my A70S using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Gen8 Android Development] jagpoag:
Stupid question:

Is there any way to install the new 0.6 without using a SD card? Do you just install as described without a SD card in the ARchos? I ask because I installed and then took my card out and got a boot error. I can always just go buy another card but for right now, this is the only one I have (sold the others, didn't think I'd ever use them) and I would rather have it in my phone.

Thanks in advance and try not to laugh to hard.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
i feel like a ghost in this thread! :(

any chance of a reply on this?

also, as i have again asked previously, you mention of making a backup first, could you maybe drop a hint as to the best way to be able make a backup/restore (preferably without access to a computer?)

presume its going to be something along the lines of gzipping up all of the running system partition but no idea if it will be a problem with it being "in use" etc

thanks $auron, as always loving your work.
[Gen8 Android Development] jm123:
Same to me, i've used Astro. Solution: I tried the Terminal Emulator and the move command. Now it works:cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] fnetf:
Where to find Force Update in UrukConfig ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Its "obvious" ;) - in "Information" tab...
[Gen8 Android Development] TjaXanK:
I put a link over at archos fans to this page so people from over there can try your brilliant work :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Sean35:
If you pull the initramfs from the UrukInstall root directory in the rar file, you can use that with an OC zImage to correctly install OC kernel. I tried it yesterday, and while it was successful, it was very sluggish, so I switched back.
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
@ $auron

how use the update ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If you ask about update 0.5 to 0.6 - it's described on third post of this thread.
[Gen8 Android Development] strongergravity:
We will not be able to have flashable zip updates & installers until we can get a bootloader onto this thing. As for the backup issue...it's the same issue - with the bootloader we can do NAND backups of the entire system at once. Thanks to the encryption Archos has put in, we don't have this...and it doesn't look like we will for a while.

As for Uruk getting a single-file flash update, again he has nothing he can boot into that can read the SDE without actually being in the SDE, and since we have to write over the SDE we have problems.

To currently backup, you can boot into recovery & choose to mount the Archos. Then you can to your zips with the system not running.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
just updated but now cant see my memory card's big partition any longer :( anyone have any ideas?
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
Did you update to .6 from .5 installed on the internal? I did and boy do I feel stupid. Still trying to get it all sorted back to how it should be.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
no its always been on sd card. partitioned from fresh on 0.5 as per instructions. it wasnt liking usb sticks either til i rebooted. now that seems to be ok but find that the sd card is not mounted.

also my 3g dongle is no longer connecting so assume its overwritten some of my config files or something on that side of things :(
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
Weird.

I was in the fog of sleep deprivation and saw the update section so without thinking I flashed the upgrade. Unfortunately .5 was installed internally. A few minutes later I was thinking "where the hell did my sdcard go" so I reformatted it thinking it just needed a fresh go.

Of course, I had just moved the filesystem over to the sdcard and then destroyed it. I'm back to .6 on the sdcard now but won't get that thrown back onto the internal memory until I get home tonight.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
if i run mount_sdcard.sh i get a "not mounting vfat - leaving for void" whatever that means
