This happened right after I installed the market add-on off the front page. I confirmed that the market appeared on the home page after copying it to that one /data partition, then to finish it off I rebooted per the instructions.

After that I started seeing this error.

Have you tried the stock 2.1.03 fw to set the vpn connection?

As you can see from the fw changelog from Archos:

- VPN: PPTP VPN support has been fixed

If your problem depends on this fix then you have to wait .6 version of Ukudroid based on new fw...

[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Thanks for the link. The original post says that they should work with any GTab ROM, not necessarily any tablet, unless I missed something. Still, worth a try!

EDIT have tried these out and can confirm they all work (to some degree). Will post separate thread in apps subforum tomorrow, with screenshots.

I've tested some of them - they work - so I guess everyone can install it by their own. I can only make some Uruk package.

ps. Keyboard is not "fitted" with our (A70) screen res. (perhaps on A101) will work ok.
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
Hi, with Uruk 0.5 I can't change the keyboard... I mean I bought Swiftkey, but when I click to activate it into options, when I come back i'ts still not selected, thus I can't choose it from input selection... Maybe a file right problem ?

Don't know if it's related, but I can't change the screen brightness either... It's always a 71%, when I change it it's back to 71% in one second...
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
Browser app and QuickOffice HD are good on A70, A good start !

Calculator, canvas and sniffer are not resolution friendly unfortunately, not tested others :D
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
Browser looks really good,but i would rather have the bar on the right side and there are some minor visual bugs at the bar itself,but speed and smothness are impressive
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
The only thing I can help - it works for me - so it's not a Uruk error itself. I had once screen brightness issue - but it was more like a powermanager widget problem - then screen brightness itself (use settings and it will work).
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Since $aur0n is also aware of the apps, thought it would be better to have a separate thread, keep this one on topic! Posted here in the Apps subforum (with pics).
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
I use a brightness widget, I'll try to remove it.

For the keyboard you manage to change it ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes - I have Gigerbread (keyboard) installed, and today NotionInk one (but this is for 9'' screen only). Install keyboard, go to any app that uses plain text input (stock browser will do) and push on URL input text field, hold until you will see menu where you can choose "select input method" (proper keyboard should be first installed and enabled in Global settings->Language and Keyboard)

I was actually having issues with a few of them, I tried them yesterday. Browser wouldn't install at all. E-mail never would get through the full wizard. Calender tried to open databases on first open and then force closes. Sniffer displays my things incorrectly. Keyboard Force closed on me twice...I like the calculator though...

2.1.4

Uruk should get these two fixes before the 0.6 is released. Also, I noticed that I got a notification that there was a new firmware update while I was running my 0.6RC, are you wanting these notifications to still come through even while were running on your Uruk? Didn't know if you wanted thse coming through still or not.
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
That's what I did, but ticking a new keyboard is not working via Global settings->Language and Keyboard...

Will try with another keyboard latter !

Thats not enough.

You really have to go into an inputfield and select the inputmethod.

Did a reformat and fresh install of 0.5 on my A43 and it is working mostly perfect, including the market install.

One problem I am having is on boot I get a message about UID mismatch, and telling me I need to format my data partition....

Any fix for this, or should I do a reinstall again?

Secondly, I was wondering if it would be possible for my to make a symlink for example, make /mnt/sdcard/eBooks be a link to /mnt/sdcard/sdcard/eBooks

I am thinking, since both the sd card's visible partition and the internal storage are using vfat, that there isn't a way to do this. I am assuming if I convert them to ext4 that this would then be possible?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Eee when and where do you get that message? It's something new to me..

It enough if you will use ext3/ext4 for /mnt/sdcard (so internal storage) - external can stay vfat.
[Gen8 Android Development] angshuwa:
Thanks! UrukDroid v0.5 work fine on my A101!

I 'full reinitialization' my A101, fresh install for UrukDroid v0.5, install gAppsinstallerV5.

it said 'Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item' when I try to install apps from market.

I must did something wrong, how should I solve the problem, your advise is much much appreciate!
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This error you get while trying to install gApps or after you've installed them? Can you cut/paste result of this

df -h
ls -al /data/
[Gen8 Android Development] angshuwa:
Thanks for the prompt reply, Sauron!

It's while I m trying to install gApps, meaning I cannot install any of them from market.

I followed your howto, I m using Ubuntu recovery mode to input all the code. I can sucessfully install UrukDroidv0.5,

But, I have not much linux knowledge.

When you said 'can you cut/paste result of this', does it mean I need to try the code with terminal on A101.

thanks!

When I was trying to have the Quick Reply with A101, it hangs.

I restart the A101 with Developer Edition, it hangs on the black screen. And, I try again, same thing.

I restart to 'Android' mode, the wifi shows 'error'.

I m going to have 'full Initialization' again, and have 'fresh install' for UrukDroidv0.5.

And, will try to figure out the 'meaning' of the post you recommand before coming back.

Thanks for your great work anyway!
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
If you're going to reinstall anyway, why not install gappsinstaller5 on the stock setup first. Then do the Uruk install, including the "copy data" command. I did this and it copied the gapps to the Uruk install, along with the other apps.

When I booted into Uruk, the Market, Gmail etc just worked right away.
[Gen8 Android Development] jalandar:
Immediately on boot, a popup window, gives me the option to continue anyway by hitting a button that says "I'm feeling lucky"

how did you get running gbk? I installed the apk, activated it, chose it in an inputfield an then i have reproducable fc.
[Gen8 Android Development] angshuwa:
Thanks for your advise Sweetypie!

I did as you suggested.

1. Full Reinitialization to A101

2. Install gAppsintaller5 to stock setup.

3. Try to install gApps from Market to stock setup, work fine!

4. Install Uruk, successfully installed

5. work fine with gApps copy from stock

6. But, when trying to install gApps from Market (when pressing 'ok' to install to the gApps), it pop out a message 'Sorry, there's no enough space to install this item'.

I will try to figure out what is going on with my A101, and will update the solution if I am able to solve it.

P.S. I have my data space (sdc2) +4G instead of +1G, I am not quite sure if this difference will affect the Market to recognize the location to install gApps.

[Gen8 Android Development] super_sonic:
Hello,

I'm currently using Uruk 0.5 (recently try efficient new EasyInstall method) and I ask me a question: why the first partition is not format with Ext4 (faster) or Ext3 (as it's possible with for stock ROM)?
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
i use 0.6RC2 for a while now and i have lots of bugs and errors,no uruk version before made so much problems.I changed directly from 0.5 over 0.6RC1 to 0.6RC2.

My errors are

-android.process.media fc after boot and sometimes during normal running(cant install apps over the market because of that)

-wifi doesnt activate after standby often

-after some longer time,a couple of hours,i cant start or do anything.

if i click on an app a just screen only fades in and directly fades out again,so i need to reboot again

these are the main probs + some minor ones.

is it a problem of one of the RCs or do only i have these bugs
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
If you mean the partition that is formatted as VFAT, you can make it a ext4 if you want, but the install directions use vfat so that it is recognized and usable by windows operating systems. If you use linux you obviously don't need to worry about that.
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
I did the same thing..thinking I was being wise and making my sdc2 bigger...but for some reason, the market will not work unless the partition is exactly 2 gigs or smaller. Stupid I know, but I changed the size of my partiton with gparted and it worked after I rebooted.

I found that after doing a search ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Had exactly the same bugs, so I went back to 0.5.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
whats the easyiest way to get back to 0.5 from 0.6RC2
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
First of all - please, it's not without a reason called RC (release candidate) and it's in DEV (development thread). This updates are for people who want, and can work with small errors or debug problems.

So please don't mix subjects from dev thread with user ones (like this).

There is no 'way back' to 0.5 - you can only reinstall it. And you can do it with method from the howto in first post.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
sorry for mixing the 2 threads,will post bugs and problems in the right thread next time.

And yes i know its called RC so problems are to be expected,and testing and reporting those problems is the only right way to fix those problems.
[Gen8 Android Development] angshuwa:
:D:DThanks! It works now!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] Luki_88:
Hello, i follow the guide step to step and all is fine, installation complete and change the market, but at the next reboot i found this ;_;

UrukDroid 0.5 Boot ERROR: failed to mount rootfs /dev/mmcblk1p2

I can't boot the developer edition with uruk!

help :3
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What do you mean "change the market ". Please write exactly what was yours steps.
[Gen8 Android Development] Luki_88:
Step tree: optional

If you want GoogleMarket (and required component to make it work) you can install UrukDroid package - UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2. (files inside this packaged are base on kenyu73 work).

Before you do that, you cannot have installed any other version of Market. If you apply this update, on previously installed market/vending etc. - it won't work. This packaged is tested with fresh install of Uruk - where it works.

Download archive and put it in UrukUpdate directory located on /data partition

(so path is /data/UrukUpdate/). You should do it directly from internet browser on Archos Tablet, file manager like Astro or terminal - you shouldn't do it over USB.

Installation process will start automatically and silently, file will disappear from that folder after it's done. To run Market, restart is required when you'll be ready.

After one reboot, like said the guide, pop the market. After download quadrant for test, i shut down the device. Today i turn it on and found that messages :(

Is there any guide/howto to install the latest version of UrukDroid on internal flash memory ?? What filesystem do you recommend ext3 or ext4?

Cheers!!
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
Here is a simplified procedure to install urukDroid v0.5 :

http://utopievirtuelle.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/urukdroidinstaller-v0-3-for-your-archos-gen-8/

Direct link to installer : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15552497/UrukDroidInstaller.pl

Advantages :

* Simplified installation of UrukDroid (no more manipulations of partitions or command line)

* French and english

* You can choose the size of you application partitions

* Ask for FAT32 or EXT4

It's still in beta test. Please be careful.

Probably will become useless with new installation procedure, but as I did it, why not distribute it anyway :)

Don't hesitate to leave your opinion, bugs etc.

MasterBOX
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
There is a guide in the this subsection of the forum. Basically its the same process except for doing the commands to the sdcard you do it to the Archos internal memory.

Go with ext4 because it is faster/performs better, but if you run a windows machine make sure you format partition 1 in vfat so your computer will recognize it.
[Gen8 Android Development] lechuckthepirate:
Will this work for installing on internal flash?

Cheers

Not yet. Will see if it's easy to add this option.

Ehh you are really impatient guys ;) There is new install method, now we are testing it - it's called (smile) UrukDroid easy install :D - and it will be default install method for 0.6. Now it can install UrukDroid 0.5. More you can read here. It's not a howto, but for someone how have at least once flashed kernel on Archos - should be extremely easy.

ps. It will write during process it's 0.6RC2 - only kernel and initramfs are from 0.6 - entire UrukDroid is 0.5
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:

the post of masterbox is very interesting !

i use (en debug) this
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
This is a good news, but this script was started weeks ago, but only really finalized this week end... So I decided to release it anyway, if it can help some impatient guys !

And it could be adapted to new easy install method for folks afraid of partitionning / formating ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
Great tool!!!!

But could you make it run on any linux distribution? I mean not only with zenity and gksudo....there are linux native things which do not need zenity or gksudo.....i am not the big skripting hero....if so, i would port it into a native linux skript for bash....hmmmm....maybe i will try it....
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
To be honest I did it as fast as I can, with the tools I had on my computer :)

But gksudo and zenity are not linked to Ubuntu, but more to GTK / Gnome. Okay I could offer the option to use QT tools instead... But installing those ones are not a big deal ? Is it ?

What I should really do is remove apt-get at the beginning, only usefull once, add put it as a prerequisite.

If somebody here can help me making my script more portable, feel free to contribute !

[Gen8 Android Development] smile_gerard:
I'm having trouble getting passed the Fat32 or EXT4 as it always says aborted. My question is, do we need "su" in ubuntu? Cuz i'm having trouble with mine. Don't think my password is wrong but it just doesn't work. And do you use a card reader or connect put the sdcard in and connect the archos?

update: Managed to get su but made no difference, tried to install with the archos connected no difference. This is the screen i get

"Please choose the size of your applications parition. Leave Default if not knowing what it is all about. This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages. Installtion Cancelled."
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
You should not have any device connected. Only connect your card through a card reader when asked for it, and later the Archos when asked for it.

But your error is different, I uploaded a new version, please try again.

I added some logs, and it will not stop on your problem. But you will probably not be asked for application partition size, please copy me your log and send it by PM or as a comment on my blog (in order not to mess this thread)

UrukDroid 0.6 Easy Install

UrukDroid 0.6 Easy Install...

Here is archive with files required to do fresh UrukDroid 0.6 install. It's called now Easy Install since it requires almost no user interaction and can be done from almost any operating system (Windows/Linux/MacOS etc.).

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C0ZRW6Q9

21fed654e4b1a226b6fa8c1b5a1d305d UrukDroid_0.6-EasyInstall.rar 127M

Full howto will be updated soon - but, long story short:

- download and extract UrukDroid_0.6-EasyInstall.rar

- flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz from Archive

- boot to SDE on Archos, and when asked - copy UrukDroid-install.tgz

That's all. Please be aware that this install will erase SDcard (or HD on A70H).

Easy Install

$aur0n, I have tried to install this several times. Everything seems to go well till I get to the point when I need to copy UrukDroid-install.tgz. I plug in usb as instructed the window does not open and I get the following message.

[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Well I've tested it on Windows XP, dont know how WIn7 will react. I'm sure this drive can be mounted but somehow Windows don't like it. It may by because

a) It's seen as raw drive (without separate partition) - but I've seen plenty of other equipment (camcorders, mp3 players) doing the same - it work's

b) Somehow Win7 doesn't not like FAT partition made on Linux

Perhaps someone with better wind7 knowledge can help - I dont...
[Gen8 Android Development] guoloong:
I tried it on WinXP too but it's the same. Strangely, When I use UrukDroid_0.5-EasyInstall, it worked... just not for 0.6

Edit: I've checked the developer thread and found an update here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VIU5MTLO

This version works!

It's the same version that I've posted here and now on first page... really - check urls ;)
