Another happy user ;) btw. I thing that Archos (settings) wifi also should work - it simply sometimes does not connect for few times (don't ask me).
[Gen8 Android Development] rapunzel11:
Wow, i'm very impressed of this new release. My device is booting up so fast now. Overclocked at 1100/68 and it seems to be very stable. Tested with 3 Gameloft HD Games, BackStab, Dungeon Hunter 2 and Hero of Sparta and all are working perfect.

Big thanks to $aur0n.
[Gen8 Android Development] losrodriguez:
OC is perfect.. It work very fast and stable for now.

Thanks champions.

Guys,

How do i perform a Hard Reset for remove all app's installed ?
[Gen8 Android Development] PotentChili:
Just installed 1.6 and I'm so excited! Stock firmware is so laggy and pathetic it's been driving me crazy. 1.5 didn't work too well for me, but this time I've had no issues whatsoever (yet?)

Does anyone know the best (and stable) compcache and swap settings to use to give this thing an extra boost?
[Gen8 Android Development] ms07.guf:
few newbe questions

Hello Sauron

I still never installed URUK.

I would like to give new life to my A70 it with 250 GB HD.

I have 3 questions please:

1) Can I install UK 1.6 on my A70H 250GB ?

2) Can I keep the stock FW and use UK like alternative FW when I select DEVELOPER EDITION MENU ?

3) Is in standard UK 1.6 files included the Overclock possibility application ?

sorry fornewbe questions !

thank you very much
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1) you can, but it's going to be installed on HDD - this is not power efficient way. I've wrote on dev thread if there is someone active with A70H so we can give it one more try. Problem is that there is not much of internal memory in A70H and it will be hard to put there another full OS.

2) Yes

3) Yes
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Probably easiest way is to do install with format (Advanced installation). Of course you could just erase everything in /data/ directory but it's not exactly a clean way and will make you some troubles in future.
[Gen8 Android Development] wgallt:
1. I'd also like to know optimal compcache and swap settings.

2. The more I read the less I know regarding overclocking. First I see a thread regarding a seperate overclock kernel, then I see kernels listed in the downloads with the rom, an overclock.ko file, then I see editing a config file and most recently overclocking ability built in.. I know its set at 1Ghz but I don't see any where to adjust it any higher. So of these options which is the correct way to overclock? Thank you and can't wait to get home and get the final release installed.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1. There are some users review (as I far remember on archosfan) - but you need to search - sorry ;)

2. Like always - the only sure stuff is here: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/ on wiki
[Gen8 Android Development] Greenthy:
Put the update 1.6 in my update folder, started fine

Then got stuck at "loading..."

Gave up after 10 min and rebooted (10s power button)

And now I'm stuck at "loading..." while booting

Is there a way to fix it ?

edit: as we speak the third times the charm => booted up
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
10min for loading is a lot - but on slow SDcard for a first time it's quite possible. You can always do reinstall from EasyInstall (this wont affect your data).
[Gen8 Android Development] ms07.guf:
I already have CHURLI temporary root FW. I do not know if it is installed in HDD or in internal memory, I didn't choose installation destination following guide.

If UK will replace CHURLI FW, will it take the same space of this one ? At the moment with original Archos OS and CHURLI Rooted OS I have 1,3 GB free of internal memory
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
As far as I remember churli root only changes initramfs and add superuser - so it's basicly does not install anything. So no - UD won't just replace it.

Installation would require about 0,5GB for rootfs, we could probably use existing datafs - but this would slow down drastically UD. With 0,5GB of rootfs and 0,5GB of data fs it's possible - but not ideal - as we use almost completely available storage.
[Gen8 Android Development] ms07.guf:
mmmmmmhh!!! I suppose that the only way is installation on HDD! but I think it will be not an improvement of performance respect ARCHOS OS. If someone will try UD installation on a 70HDD I will be very courious to read how it work.

I'm not an android expert and I can't repair the system if something go wrong, sorry.

thanks

I'm looking for the best rom for archos 70 250gb it a long time. i'd trying many, many rom and now go with uruk 1.6 of $aur0n. This is wonderful. I can play PES 2012 and GTA3 ok. Thanks for working hard $aur0n. I'm waiting for Honeycomb ^_^ ( Maybe ). God bless you!. sorry my english ( it's not traditional language )
[Gen8 Android Development] jones23:
1) Can I only keep my stock firmware, if I install Urukdroid on SDCard ? (the default option with EasyInstall)

2) What happens to my stock firmware when i install urukdroid on internal storage ?
[Gen8 Android Development] Zobat:
same here.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1) You will have your stock firmware untouched

2) Default options is to resize existing partition - so stock os is also untouched, but may also choose to format OS - but really, read manual: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/EasyInstall

Try to use WiFi manager, you may check if disabling WPA service will help.
[Gen8 Android Development] Zobat:
same here :)

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

wifimanager helped. Disabling WPA i tried before that, no go.

I am happy now :)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
WiFi Manager is by default installed with UrukDroid - it may be missing if you made updates from 1.0->1.5->1.6 (It was introduced as a default app in 1.5 - with FileExpert).
[Gen8 Android Development] scholbert:
Hey $auron,

good work as always...

...but sometimes i wonder, why things have always to be splitted or done twice.

Sure your kernel code needed some updates...

There's the openaos kernel which additonally has unionfs support and some addons needed for CM7.

divx118 already patched the latest updates in late December:

http://gitorious.org/archos-buildroots/gen8-kernel

After some cleanup i made a diff to your sources, i saw that it's merely the same.

So i will use these sources for my custom kernels.

You should think about using the same kernel code source as well and unite in some way.

This would make the code base more transparent.

Don't get me wrong, i really appreciate what you do and it's the best we could play with, for daily use.

You might call it a piece of advice :rolleyes:

Cheers,

scholbert

hi $aur0n,

i installed 1.6 with the UrukDroid_1.6-Install.rar file

after some testing i still have the battery consumption issue ( as 1.6RC1-1.6RC7 )

the battery consumption goes crazy -15% 7 hours in deep sleep!?

( i have checked if the device goes really to deep sleep, it does!! )

the battery consumption in device using mode is also much higher than 1.5.1

so i reinstalled urukdroid 1.5 and updated to 1.5.1 and i have to say, the battery works like a charme!!

12 hours deep sleep -> 1% consumption

don't know why with 1.6 the battery drain i so high!

i don't think it's an app, cause they are the same in 1.5.1 and in 1.6

either it's the archos firmware or it's urukdroid 1.6 related!?

cheers
[Gen8 Android Development] Moskiller:
Does this kernel work on archos 101 g9?
[Gen8 Android Development] sydneyrodgers:
101 never sleeps

Since Urukdroid 1.5, (1. 5, 1.51, 1.6) my 101 never goes fully to sleep. The LED stays on or flashes and the battery is used up quickly. Even if I put it in Deep Sleep it does the same. The only way to have it go to sleep fully is to turn off the WiFi first. I have tried varios, Urukconfig settings but nothing seems to help.

I dont want to go back to 1.0, but its the only version that worked for this (but had other issues).

Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] scholbert:
Nope... won't work on Gen9 devices.

UrukDroid is based on standard Gen8 firmware.

The kernel has been built from Gen8 GPL'ed sources (2.6.29-omap1).

You would have realized this, if you read this. :rolleyes:

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen8 Android Development] kiemthu123:
Im going to reinstall Uruk 1.5.1 on my A70IT due to the battery consumption. Im using 1.6RC7 and it drains 7% after 8 hours in deep sleep (wifi disabled). Sometimes the LED is on and then off again and again, there must be somethings running while I put my A70 ioto deep sleep
[Gen8 Android Development] ms07.guf:
Hello

if you installed UD on A70250 , did you installed on Hard Drive or internal memory ?

did you deleted original Archos firmware ?

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] stha:
First a big thanks to $aur0n for UD. It rocks.

I've just made a clean install of UD1.6

Nearly everthing works 100%. The only thing missing is the 3G USB modem and tethering.

I can get the 3G modem to connect and the tethering icon is shown in the top-bar, but no internet connection is possible. In android system info, i can see I get a valid IP-adress from the stick, but datatransfer to the internet is not working.

Any ideas ?

I have tried to change the USBport-number in the config-file from 0 to 1,2,3,4 or 5.

It does'nt help.

The 3G USB-stick worked 100% in UD1.0, so I know the type is supported.

In UD1.0, i just had to execute the 3gmodem_init.sh script every time I had to use the stick.

But this trick does not work in UD1.6.

Hope you can help.

Regards

STHA

Archos 101 16Gb
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
Samedi issue for me never fond what the root cause is...
[Gen8 Android Development] THOONG:
Hi!

It's install on internal memory. you can set 512mb, 1gb... when begin install UD.

I don't delete original archos firmware because i use it like a partition another for work
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
As UD can't be (yet) installed on the original partioned internal on a A70H you are wrong.

You have installed it on the HDD
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
3g support was made by nenad - I don't have 3g usb stick to check it. I've asked nenad to revise scripts on 1.5, since there was a lot of changes - but he probably don't found time to do that. Try to ask once again...
[Gen8 Android Development] losrodriguez:
Sauron

Many people I know have problems with wifi, even with the last original firmware 2.4.81

It is possible to extract the. Apk that controls a wifi or previous version is included for example settings.apk? or similar
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I'm still having doubts if not to restore Archos parts to 2.4.80 - since it looked more power efficient... perhaps in this case it would be also ok.

Do those people have also problems using tools like WifiManager?
[Gen8 Android Development] losrodriguez:
Spanish forum Uruk has anyone installed 1.6 Uruk nobody has worked the wifi. We had to use Wifimanager.

but using wifimanager somebody have interruptions in internet connection and problems with wifis wpa2 eap.

Apparently the original firmware also gives the wifi problems in the latest version
[Gen8 Android Development] sydneyrodgers:
LED Flashes

Am I the only one that has the problem of the LED never turning off? I have had this problem since 1.5; even with a clean boot. If I go back to 1.0, it turn off with the power button.

Can it be just my unit???

SR
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
I also have this issue.

And as the device never goes into deep sleep, the battery drain is important.

Never found what the root cause is, checked running services, launched applications, nothing special.
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
U never had this issue. Have you checked Settingsmenu where you can set turbo mode. There is an option for deep sleep or so. Don't know how it is called in English but this option should be active for deep sleep!

Hi,

I installed the last version, she's more stable but I have some soft reboot. This problem arrive when I close the market or when I read a flash movie on the internet.

Do you have an idea ?
[Gen8 Android Development] steven20052009:
Try to disable wifi before hit the power button and see if it solve the problem.
[Gen8 Android Development] jones23:
when I rotate the archos while on the homescreen using go launcher ex urukdroid does a forced restart. latest 1.6 version. anyone experiencing similar behavior?

SOLVED: starting the standard launcher once before using go launcher ex seems to fix the problem
[Gen8 Android Development] madmurdoch:
Where is Turbo Mode? Can you write path please eg. Settings\XXX\XXX\Turbo Mode?
[Gen8 Android Development] steveb625:
Hello madmurdoch,

It is not Turbo mode. Go to Settings/About Device/Power Settings. It is there that you can activate Deep Sleep.
[Gen8 Android Development] sydneyrodgers:
Turning off wifi solves the problem, but it should go to sleep with the wifi on. Version 1.0 went to sleep even with wifi on but every version since then cannot seem to disable wifi when turned off.

Sr
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
There are some condition where wifi can't be turned off - it can be UrukService (like active smb/cifs connection), or some installed network tool app.
[Gen8 Android Development] IrisNebula:
Just got out of my stone age house and started to check out more firmwares beyond chulri's root that I was using for months. Uruk is very nice, but 1.6 has some problems for me...

$aur0n you must have included some strange configuration file in it... First boot comes with CompCache disabled but SWAP enabled (aren't the defaults supposed to be the opposite?), MediaScanner disabled, Ntfs and Cifs enabled and WPA enabled! (this is supposed to be impossible, UrukConfig doesn't set WPA on boot...).

CompCache can't be started, says "2.4+ kernel w/o ELF notes?" and some more about ramzswap.

Samba can't be started, with just "Error running command!", "Killed"

Also, after the first time I start SSHd (even if I don't use it at all) the hole OS becomes unstable... Next boot just flickers the launcher and a black screen and everything goes slow like hell.

All these happened twice, both times with a CLEAN install (reformat system completely (A101), ArchosOS (2.3.26) install, UD 1.6 internal install (recreate partitions + no data copy) so it's not like I've left something behind myself.

I also tried UD 1.0 and it seems that everything is fine on it. Gotta have to make a clean 1.5 install and update to 1.6 and see what happens.

EDIT: I noticed someone 3-4 pages before saying he did a clean install on 1.6 and Wifi didn't work until he tried the Wifi Manager so that makes me think it's logical although you said the OS UI should be working, since WPA comes enabled out of the box for 1.6
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Compcache/swap - since most users already have swap partition (added by Archos stock OS) - this is now default behaviour, swap on partition, compcache off.

I've checked, just while ago - compcache is working - you can provide some more info if this does not work for you.

Wpa is on/off service - it does not have to be made boot persistent.

Fast check of samba and yes, there is something wrong with it - I'll give it a closer look (it's some linking problem as I can see).

SSHd - I use it all the time - even now, if it does not work for you, please provide more informations (I really doubt there is any general problem with it).

edit: Are you sure this sshd reboots were not in fact because of enabled samba?

edit2: Apply this patch (fixes all reported UD 1.6 errors, now samba problem too, I've also enabled mediascanner and disable wpa by default)
[Gen8 Android Development] nachopre:
Yesssssss! Pls!!!! back to 2.4.80!!!!

I am someone having wifi issues even with wifi manager(archos wifi setup does not work at all). With wifi manager, i have connection for a while and suddenly....no wifi at all. With previous releases this did not happen. And this still happens with archos 2.4.81 oficial FW!

Just in case, sauron, wich is your last 1.6RC based on 2.4.80, 1.6RC6?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
[Gen8 Android Development] lagoskon:
I disagree . 2.4.81 is the best rom in energy saving of all the fw's Archos made. I have flashed all of them . This is the first fw that has real "Deep Sleep"

I use WiFinder with UD 1.6 and never had problem of disconnections , even after 13h of deep sleep . Lust pressed the button and after 5 sec , wifi connected ok
[Gen8 Android Development] itolson:
installed coming from rc5 and wifi no longer works ,it finds it then you put in the wep key then it cycles through scanning then does not connect.

tried a clear dalvik cache, a system check etc any ideas...
[Gen8 Android Development] ldjh1985:
I have the same issue!

Also if I go to about device then status i receive stop crash.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes, and you also did not read previous posts or installation page info.

Disable WPA service or use WiFi Manager.
[Gen8 Android Development] ldjh1985:
WIFI manager also doesn't work? just says obtaining IP address and sits there, tried with 3 different seperate wifi networks?
[Gen8 Android Development] nachopre:
That does not work. Neither WPA disabled nor Wifi Manager.

And i forgot to mention, yes i am having also FC in "About Device/Status" Will it be related?

Regards

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

You will probably have success with WiFinder or Wi-whatever...

I think this is something related with some archos tablets(maybe hardware, version, date of manufacturing, etc,...)
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
$auron I had a look on UrukConfig to see if no service is blocking the deep sleep.

All services are in unknown status and when trying to shutdown a service or start I got a message telling me that it cannot execute the script and when trying to disable the startup I got a permission denied...

Any idea?

Thx ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] itolson:
Hi, thanks for the great work first off all... disable wpa service worked for me but coming from rc1 through rc6 I've its always worked out of the box...

Hence the don't read the instructions until it does not work...

Cheers.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What are exact messages? Check after system reboot.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bingoig11:
When trying to disable: Permission denied

When trying to start/stop: Cannot execute the script

Will try to reboot and let you know.

Thx ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] IrisNebula:
Trying the new update-fix now and I'll be back to report how it went.

Also, is the file UrukDroid-1.6-update.tbz2 only needed to update from previous UD versions or does it need to be applied to 1.6 as well, before the update-fix? I couldn't find any relevant info, and as it's not labeled upgrade but update I was a little confused... Thanks!

Update1: Seems to be working fine. Thanks a lot!!! I'll do some more tests later ;)

PS: Oh, yes you are right... Sorry I didn't notice it said Update under the 1.6 section, I thought it said Upgrade... Thx!
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Info is for example here: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Download
[Gen8 Android Development] lohtse:
am with MasterMind33 have moved from rc via update but do I need to apply the NEW fix???? it is a little confusing so clarification would be a help!!!

also noticed a new zimage at http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.6/ what is this and can we use it etc?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Hi,

Please - use files only linked in main UrukDroid wiki, not every file on pourix is for end user usage.

To make it more clear (I said it from very beginning - this fix package will became 1.6.1) I've uploaded 1.6.1 update package fixing known errors/problems.

Changelog, Download page.
[Gen8 Android Development] sciurius:
Applying 1.6-fix does not trigger the required reboot after unpacking the kit. Is that intentional?

MD5 sum of UrukDroid-1.6-update-fix.tbz2 is 77fc070e1b2c2dc21f6f67ac90cb399f
[Gen8 Android Development] madmurdoch:
1.6.1 fix file needs a manual reboot afterwards - is this right? It has updated though and shows up as 1.6.1 in the boot process.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes it does - your right. When device may work stable after update - I live a choice to user when reboot it. Usually when update reboots device - I write it along with update (and the message is different from UrukConfig in top bar).
[Gen8 Android Development] madmurdoch:
Thanks -good to know.

Seems to be working fine by the way.
[Gen8 Android Development] sydneyrodgers:
This happens even on a fresh install, with no user apps installed. It must be internal. Tell me about UrukService.

[Gen8 Android Development] PotentChili:
My device randomly restarts on both 1.6 and 1.6.1, it did on 1.5 too. Everything works perfect besides that. I tried disabling the screen lock timer because it mainly did it once the screen auto powered off, but now it will just do it, mainly when the device is idle. The only change I've done is enabled Compcache at 64mb.

Any ideas?

A70H internal storage path

Hello, $auron, and thank you for your efforts.

I just installed UD 1.6 updated to 1.6.1 using easy install on A70H 250 Gb version.

Now I face the following problem:

I use iGo navigation.

On stock fw it works on every version.

On UD it can't find the license files.

normally the path is %sdcard%/iGo.

In both systems (original and UD) it is installed exactly the same, in the root of sdcard (as it appears) a folder iGo, as required.

But in UD is seems that the path is different, internally.

Any idea what is the difference in path between original and UD on A70H?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

George

PS Any idea if/how we can activate phone profile for bluetooth headset connection? My car stereo remembers and auto connects only to phone, not media audio.
