Thanks for that. The problem is (don't you hate it when people say that? almost invariably the problem is a bunch of problems, rarely just one) that, in the various forums in which the recent Market problems are reported, the (various) problems are scattered inside one long "glory hole" type thread, and therefore diluted, and unresolved.

In the past two or three versions Google have been experimenting.

In my case, in version 3.3.11, I have the "free sample" Books problem, and the "nothing on the My Apps" page" problem.

However, on the plus side, in my online Google Market account, for the first time ever, ALL my Android devices are shown - my Archos 5IT, my Archos 70S, my Archos 101, and the Asus Transformer which I had for a few days and returned. By the way, like many others who are complaining in the Google support forum, I would love to be able to remove devices which I no longer possess - but I cannot.

The Market is a bit of a mess at the moment. Google has been premature in releasing these changes to us, all at once. And they do not have one forum where these issues / bugs can be reported. Nokia has a "Nokia Beta Labs" forum which allows users to participate in the reporting and correction of defects such as these. If only Google did the same. These issues are going on far too long.

re: UrukDroid 1.6rc4 install

I finally upgrade the UrukDroid 1.5 to 1.6RC4 but its not completely. I had to use winscp to copy the files over but I must have missed a file or two as it give me some fc error during bootup - thought it works with the exception of the fc error about some keyboard in the beginning. I had to place the upgrade file in the archos via winscp due my archos just refuse to see the the upgrade file. My question is does anyone have actually made or can make a install file similar to the Urukdroid 1.5 with the exception its the 1.6rc4 verison rooted with oc? I believe this would save a lot of people a lot of heartache. If someone has actually done a install file as such, please post a link to us if possible.
[Gen8 Android Development] Higgsy:
Not sure what could be much more easier - copying the update to sd card and then moving the update file to /data/urukupdate/, waiting for it to install then rebooting. Very simple! I'm sure the OP will make a full install package once 1.6 final is out.

[Gen8 Android Development] dwhsieh:
yeah, I don't get it either.. I can install urukdroid fine but my tablet refuse to see the upgrade file. I have tried everything but it just wont see it. I have several tablets and android phones and flash them all the time but this is the only time which given me so much problem~_~.

Archos 48

Is there already work in progress to support the Archos 48 tablet?

It would also be great to get DVB-S sticks working in order to receive HD channels.

With DVB-S over HDMI working, the Archos 48 might eventually replace my Dreambox satellite receiver in the future... would be amazing!

my A101 lags so much even with 1.6RC4, the memory is always under 100MB, playing angry birds lags and some other games force closes too often.

what seems to be problem? how can i reflash the whole thing?

what's the most suitable setting for swap and compcache? and do i have to use a overclock kernel? and how can i overclock? thanks

nubie here
[Gen8 Android Development] Higgsy:
do you have it installed on the external or internal sd - my device was freezing and apps taking ages to open/force closing when I had it installed on sd (is a class 10 too), I then installed on internal storage and has been fine since. I have just used the default settings for swap/compcache
[Gen8 Android Development] czesiu:
Shouldn't this info be removed from the first post? Based on the linked thread it seems that SD cards are rarely faster and usually unstable.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Well it does can be faster ;) - but it's rare. But I guess it's better to rewrite this part :)
[Gen8 Android Development] rockmonkey1973:
hi.

can someone tell me how i run the scripts to move the install from the sd card to the internal storage and vice versa. with no cwm for the archos i guess this as good as a complete back up gets.

i have also read more and more that the internal storage make the rom run smoother faster and in general better.

if you can help me out i would be grateful.

cheers

fzelle, i did 5 times, both mirrors and main, no matter where i got it from, it would say corrupt.

edit: i have SDE on there from archos and im running the newest ota update. itll do the frist two steps of the 1.5 ei but the third step says corrupt file and wont put it on.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Final part - this is after reboot? If you have file corrupted message, there is not enought free space on some partition. What type of installation did you choose? If sdcard - what size?
[Gen8 Android Development] Swaintan:
i get to this part

Boot to SDE:

" power on (2) Archos, hold up/+ volume key (1) until you see "Archos AXXXX - Boot Menu",

choose "Developer edition"

You should see "UrukDroid 1.5 Installation framework" title. Please choose simple install method. When asked to, connect Archos to PC (5) once again and copy UrukDroid-install.tgz, disconnect Archos from PC properly (umount, safely remove device etc.) and press power button (2) shortly. Now EI will check installation file and prepare it for next step. "

32gb scandisk hc sd card, when i put the tgz on and properly disconnect the cord, then press power i get "file corrupted please...." simple method is what i used.
[Gen8 Android Development] Swaintan:
ok took out sd card (after i took off the items i wanted from the tablet), redid it again but this time in adv mode and direct to internal... now i got 1.5ud installed and working. now gotta put things back on.. like market etc

[Gen8 Android Development] Swaintan:
ugh problems... ok i had to do a new sd card cause mine screwed up and wont read/format etc... so i put in a new sd card w/ 8 gb on it... i cant get market to work on UD and getting TONS of "force close" on, well everything I use... can someone point me in right direction of how to fix all this...
[Gen8 Android Development] rockmonkey1973:
No can you point me in the right direction please. EDIT: FOUND IT THANKS.

thanks mate i have read your wiki i just aint sure how/ where i run the script. do i use the terminal emulator?

CAN anyone help with the above? ah dont worry while i would still like to know i am just gonna back it up and reinstall to the internal by wiping and new flash.

Since yesterday im a owner of a Archos Arnova 10 inch.

And i want to install UrukDroid on my tablet, and i downloaded all the needing files but there is one problem. I need to reboot the device because i need to install the SDE firmware.

If i reboot my device, and if i press the volume key + or - (tried both of them serveral times) i don't see the recoverymode.

I don't get it, ive been searching all on the web but no results.

My question is what am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
No.

When the charger is plugged, the LED is on and when the device is full the LED starts blinking which seems to be normal.

My problem is when the device is on battery, the LED stays on permanentely which is not normal I think.

Turn of device, and hold down both volume down and power button at the same time.

Thanks for the fast reply. Thats exactly what i tried, several times, but it didn´t work out.

Does anyone else has a clue?
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
No, forget it.

The arnova has nothing to do with archos gen8 so UrukDroid will never ever work on that.

Do yourself a favor and only look in the Arnova forum, as these are completely different devices.

Hi everone,

I'm a satisfied user of Uruk on my 101.

Until... a week ago.

Nothing changed on my Archos, but browsing is getting slower and slower..

When I perform a speedcheck it's OK.

But even to simply type in a web adress (before a responce) takes ages.

I use the standard browser, and Skyfire.

The problem is the same with both browsers.

Though... Skyfire seems to perform slightley better.

Also the waiting time after setting a webpage adress takes a very long time.

The strange thing is that my 101 performes well with everything else.

apps boot with the usual speed, the downloads in the market are rougly the same, and the performance with xbmc over my wifi also didn't change.

Has anybody an idea what this could be?

Thanx!

Hi all,

I had Uruk 0.6 for some time now, and i choose to install the new 1.5.1 version on my Tab.

I have choose to make a complete new install, but i am having some trouble.

The install process is very simple, but for some reason (probably stupidity) i am not able to complete it.

So i have tried to install 1.5 without having a external SD Card on it, but the process stops saying that i need to have an external SD card on it, so i have inserted one just for the installation, and everything goes OK until the ned.

I am able to boot and use the Tab when the SD Card is there, but if i remove the card from the Tab everything freeze. If i try to boot without a external SD card there, it stops after the first Uruk boot screen is presented, and the screen stays black.

I have made the simple install process, so i am assuming that he is installing on the internal memory ... so i dont understand why i need to have an sd card there.

Anyone?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Simple is on sdcard.

Installation should boot without sdcard either (but you have to choose advanced/internal method in both cases).
[Gen8 Android Development] hdsousa:
Thanks. I have saw that when i tried the re install .. he gave me me an options that made it clear.

Wih your comment i am already trying a new install on the advanced method.

Update from RC4 to RC6 not working

I downloaded 1.6 RC6 today and placed the file in the /data/UrukUpdate folder on my Archos 70 250GB IT. The system won't recognize the update. Do I need to go from RC4 to RC5, then RC5 to RC6?

Yes the update went though fine. The tablet has been just randomly rebooting itself. Each time it reboots it shows the battery percentage is near zero even though it is almost completely charged. When I plug in the tablet the rebooting stops and everything is stable but if I take it off the charger for a few minutes it starts again. I just downloaded RC7 to see if it is better.
