I did it without the sd card in. It gave an option to partition and I did that. Can't remember the exact options but it worked. I am very pleased with the performance.

I too have a wake up problem however about once a day the screen is all white and doesn't change. I just reboot with power button held. Don't know why since most have said the waking issue is all black. But I just tried the recalibration from the other thread and I am hoping it is fixed by that.

Update: Since recalibrating I have not had one of the screen issues! Been testing for weeks!

Thats a known problem of the arcos fw uruk is based on.

This should be gone with Uruk 1.6

Where did the voice/tts settings go ? Was it removed during an upgrade ? I remember that I could change it by going to the settings screen, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore :/

Can I use a voice search and others voice input on archos 70. Because I want to study English through some apps and I need a voice input to speak, but I install the Google Voice app and run it but force close.
[Gen8 Android Development] tamati:
I solved my problem by making an apk to open the voice i/o settings screen, it works on my archos 70 with firmware 2.3.81 (UrukDroid 1.5.1)

Download
[Gen8 Android Development] menshen:
I love urukdroid, my archos is very very fast. But... I'm having some issues with screen (sometimes screen does not turn on from deep sleep) and my sdcard (sometimes I'm experimenting a message "sdcard is not mounted"), and some programs (like Opera) are not detecting sdcard when this message appears.

Respecting with screen issue, I tried superdim, but it doesn't work for me.

So... I'm come back to last firmware from Archos, modified with ext4 partition (WhoDunnit). It works not so smooth than Urukdroid, but I have no issues.

Waiting for Urukdroid 1.6...
[Gen8 Android Development] kiemthu123:
Uruk 1.6... is available but not stable. I have the same issue with menshen. When I run the stock rom (fw 2.4.19) on my archos 70, there was an issue that the screen turned white when I turned the screen on (not from deep sleep), and I had to reboot. I tried many methods but did not work. So I decide to run Uruk Droid 1.5.1 ignore the black screen issue. Any helps to solve it (I have tried supper dim)

Thank tamati, I will try it soon.

hey guys , i just got archos 101

this rom looks complicated to install, since i dont have any linux experience

isnt there any easy instant installation roms like in galaxy s2 ?
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
This is the easiest there is.

Install SDE ( 3 Steps, Download file, copy to archos, reboot ),

Reboot install Kernel,

Reboot copy Uruk

Done.

Before you start arguing, this thread started with version 0.4 so we are far away from the beginnings.

[Gen8 Android Development] tamati:
I had a strange bug today with the su binary (root). It worked flawlessly with some applications (Root explorer, terminal emulator ...) but didn't work at all with others (Button savior root, titanium backup pro). I tried reinstalling both (su binary and titanium backup pro for example) but it still didn't work.

Finally I did a fresh reinstallation of UrukDroid 1.5 and it seems to work well for now.

Also, in the rescue menu I couldn't use the "restore rootfs partition" (or something like that) : when I clicked on it, it detected my backup, the checksum passed without problem but then it couldn't restore (error message after 1% "backup of rootfs restored with ERRORS"). I did that backup right after reinstalling urukdroid from scratch, and didn't touch it since then.

Hope that helps ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] menshen:
I installed last version official firmware from Archos (v2.4.19) few days ago. I used my Archos intensively this days, and I'm having the same issues (sometimes screen don't switch on from deep sleep; sometimes sdcard dismount without reason and reboot is needed) that I was having with Urukdroid 1.5.1.

So I'm coming back to Urukdroid 1.5.1. I'm a little dissapointed with Archos, these bugs are annoying...

Is it possible to fix these bugs with Urukdroid 1.6?

Thanks in advanced!

I think i have the solution for this problem . Please try and post your results.

I suspect it has something related with latest fw's and wifi "Network share" .

When i deleted my home network and connected again BUT NOW checking the "disable network share" option the problem stopped for me the last 3 days.

Thanks to lagoskon

Can someone please help me?

I used Urukdroid for a few days.. After that i just wanted to try out another kernel. And now Urukdroid won't install anymore. After flashing the Urukdroid Kernel (zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz) it reboots into Stock Android and then when i switch into the Recovery Menu and choose "Developer edition" it just freezes on the Boot Screen. I allready did a complete wipe and reinstalled SDE but that doesn't work... Anybody here who can help??

Btw: I am using a G8 101...
[Gen8 Android Development] kiemthu123:
Maybe u should download the lastest kernel and then reinstall ur device again. I had the same problem like u several weeks ago when I tried to install a kernel (to have a 200mA USB host to use my USB keyboard on my A70IT) and after boot into roots, the screen was dark so I have to redownload the lastest UR.

By the way, Im using Uruk 1.5.1 (with 1.6 kernel) and I want to have a 200mA USB host with my A70IT, what shuold I do? I have search on the forum and found a 1.1 kernel of USB fix. I wonder should I install 1.1 uruk droid to flash the 1.1 kernel?
[Gen8 Android Development] HueMann:
Great firmware! Can't wait for your 4.1.2.9 update so I can use skype video chat. ;)

I have one little problem though. I'm not sure if it's from installing sde, uruk or maybe from trying to remove the softkeys. I see now that my display does not stretch all the way out! I have about 3mm of black screen on either side of the display..

Archos 70it by the way.

The problem seems to be at core level anyway. When I boot the original android the problem is still there. Even the boot screen is so.

Before I do a complete reinstall I thought I would ask here if any of your pro's have any idea what may have happened.

Hello to All

I 'm an A70 HD owner, I normally use only Windows PC ( No Mac and No Linux)

With the 238 pages of this post I can't find the basical instructions to install URUKROID 1.5 in its last version !

These should be my needs:

I have Churli mode with temporary root , 2.4.19 FW updated.

I would like to install URUKROID like alternative boot OS with 1,2 Ghz overclock option.

Is there some "for dummys" how to install instruction set ? ( like Churli mod post to understand)

Can I put more than 2 OS in my A70 HD ?

If I install URUK will I lose Churli FW ?

Sorry for my basical questions!:o

thankyou
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
You are out of luck.

1. You can't install UrukDroid next to Archos AND Chulri's root. Either Chulri OR UrukDroid.

2. The OC doesn't work for many, so be carefull.

3. As the first Post is updated to the last stand, just check that, and forget the rest.

4. There have been alot of problems with the 70H and there is a Fix with the newest FW ( 2.4.65 ) that obviously is not incorporated in Uruk, so you should wait.

Doesn't look like I need this one... nothing in there from the release notes I really need on my device.
[Gen8 Android Development] ms07.guf:
So, If I uderstood well:

I can only install 1 developer FW ( churli or Uruk) and stock Archos FW. The Archos can only carry 2 FW. WHen I installed Churli I lost Angstrom. right?

OverClock is not suggested! which problems could I cause to my A70H?

So the Hard Disk version give much more problems than flash version ?

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Yes, you can only have 2 installed Kernels with initram, and you lost Angstrom.

With Bubu's Multiboot you could get more, but Uruk doesn't really work with that.

When OC doesn't work, your Tablet just freeses, so it is an easy fix, either working or not.

And yes the A70H is alittle bit fragile.

Ok I have one problem that I can't seem to solve. I was able to get everything going and get my 101 rooted with the new files on the sd card. The problem I have is my sd card is not detected by my 101. It says unknown. When I put the card in ubuntu I don't have write privileges on it. I can see what's on the card but can not write to it. Therefore I can not copy any files to the card on the archos nor the computer. I followed all the steps to format the card. I am using the ubuntu 10.10 live cd. What did I do wrong? Can I get write privileges without reformatted the card? Please help!
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
i dont know much about linus,but i think you need superuser permissions to get write acces.

I learned that you need a lot of su for getting the sd card ready.

Ubunutu

If you download the VM Player and run the Ubuntu from inside that, it makes it much easier, but that is another day and another story.

There is a thing in ubuntuUnder System-->Administration-->Disk Utility

Go there and you should be able to see your disk from there. you can format the partition again from there if you would like. Also, it will SHOW you what the Physical name of it is sdb1, sdc1, sdd1... la da da da.. Mine was SDD1, 2, 3 which made it a little difficult to follow the instructions. but I made it.

EDIT: i used the Archos as My card reader, it was painful, but I was at work so i had no choice. that is why I saw it as sdd1,2,3 BTW...
[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
$aur0n..thanks a lot.

Last night I do it over again on my Archos 70, it is now working fine on my Microsd 8GB class 6; with all three EXT4 partitions.

Running the benchmark, I got only 19xx points, just wonder my old microsd card is really class 6 (bought from eBay a year ago)?

There was one strange things which may not be due to this rooted droid. Last night I kept it open and charged overnight. This morning some apps are missing from drawer menu, e.g. DolphinHD still has icon on the menu, but it won't open up as if it were not there. After reboot, it worked as normal again.

My problem now is I can't open EXT4 on my everyday WinXP. I can't download my Kindle enews to my Archos anymore because XP can't see the drive. Is there any tools on XP to solve this?

If I have to redo again, I may format the 3rd partition as FAT32 for the sake of compatibility with XP. I don't watch long HD video on my Archos anyway.

I have one question: If I buy a real/new class 6 microsd, can I simply clone my existing microsd (same 8GB) to the new one? If yes, how easy/difficult it is?

ps. Though $aur0n's instruction has been greatly improved a lot (thanks again), for those who never touch Linux before, you will have to:

- run Ubutu live CD or other equivalent Linux for the first time (download Ubutu iso image, burn it on a CD, and boot from CD)

- learn how to get the root password (mine use command: sudo passwrd to set a new password; then su and enter the new password)

- learn how to use vi command a litter bit in order to do Step 3 successfully

It's been a great challenge for me rooting my Archos, but a very rewarding exercise.

Thanks again $aur0n

the 1st page is actually really good but here are some tips anyway

i will start the process over by

if you are in ubuntu

open a terminal and type

sudo su

it will ask for password

now you are on root (do everything from here

you can format you sdcard with fdisk with a few simple commands dont forget to wtite changes to card "w"

then you can extract the root fs to your first partition (label it roots)

boot flash kerne/ini to be on safe side

reboot into dev edition

if you prefer gui to do partitions just install gparted using

apt-get or synaptic
[Gen8 Android Development] elmerohueso:
I've been following this off and on and am seriously contemplating doing this, but I just want to know what kind of experience people are having with this Android install.

Quadrant scores are definitely higher and things sounds like they run a bit snappier, but since this is based off the Archos build of Android, how many of the flaws of Archos' build are still prevalent?

I'm referring to issues like apps and files seemingly disappearing, only to return mysteriously on the next reboot. Or the media scanner all of a sudden deciding to only see 1/4 of your collection even though the files are still there. Or the issues with the intermittently flaky wireless connection. What types of issues like these are still present in this modified build?

I ask because I'm more looking forward to these issues being resolved than to getting root access at the moment.

I've been having a lot of sqlite-related problems these days : most of the time the program force close (sometimes I get a message even though I didn't open the application, maybe a service, didn't check), sometimes it can be really more annoying, especially with "google service framework" which forces me to reboot because I can't get wifi.

These errors are mostly "attempt to write in a readonly database", "disk I/O error" ... don't know if I'm the only one, maybe it's because of the sdcard ?

Try to see if your data/data partition is not full. That error is usualy due to lack of space in the database partition, which can not be the same than the system.

UrukDroid 1.5 & 1.6RC2 - Android Market - Arctools 0.57

Hi.

I'm running UrukDroid 1.6RC2 on an Archos 70, although the situation still applied on UrukDroid 1.5. I'll raise the issue on the Arctools forum too, but I just wanted to see if you have any experience / input on this.

I've used the Arctools method to install the Market for ages.

When I open the Market on my A70 for the first time, after installing, the "My Apps" listing works fine. The second time, I get:-

"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here.

(followed by)

Browse apps (and)

Browse games"

But no listing appears. If I then use Arctools to remove all apps, reboot, then download and install apps, then reboot, the "My apps" listing works fine again, but only for the first time. Then I have to uninstall and reinstall again, every time I want to check My apps.

If I search for any of my apps, it correctly shows it as either Installed or Purchased (if not installed), and "Update available" if appropriate.

It's just this My apps thing which doesn't work properly.

Any ideas?

Oh, one other vital piece of information. I don't get this problem on my un-rooted A70, only my UrukDroid-rooted A70.

UPDATE

I take it back about being ok on my un-rooted A70. After I wrote this I dug out my un-rooted device, and opened the Market again. It worked ok, but I sensed a difference so I looked up the version of the Market - it was 3.1.5. Later, when I opened the Market again, it updated itself to 3.3.11.

Lo and behold, when I looked at My apps, the listing was gone.

So it's nothing to do with rooting, it has to do with the difference between the Market 3.1.5 and 3.3.11.

UPDATE 2

Google seem to know about this, as shown in the thread below. Note the First post by bitmage, which offers a neat workaround, while waiting for Google to fix it.
