Yes cifs module is enabled. Still not_allowed. I dont understand what changed because on 1.0 it worked. Then I flashed the 1.1b3 stuff and it stopped working. So perhaps other 1.1b3 users can shed light on this.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1.1 uses CIFS instead of fusersmb - so enable cifs service if you want to use network shares from windows.
[Gen8 Android Development] *BlackMagic*:
Even with cifs enabled no dice. Anything i can try in terminal to get it going?
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Just to double check, does the toast about "Enabling CIFS modules" display correctly, and have you tried refreshing the server list after enabling? I use the Video Player over network constantly, and CIFS has always worked for me.

EDIT: N/M, read next post.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
If you're seeing a not_allowed file, you are in some random file manager, right? Go into the Archos Video Player, go to network, then browse to your windows share. It should ask for a user/pass. Enter it. Once that's been entered, go back to your file manager and it will work now.
[Gen8 Android Development] *BlackMagic*:
Yes using Astro. Its odd cos I have easy sharing on so a username and password should not be needed but I guess ill figure it out.

A new bug I've found in 1.1 RC1 is that after some time the device wakes up but the touch screen does not respond anymore. Anyone else have this issue? I flashed the update and placed the new kernel in the update folder and waited for it to disappear. Where can I see if the new kernell took?

Also when choosing backup mode from the new Urkconfig, it just reboots but never goes into Backup mode.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
i get this too. but this isnt the right thread to talk about beta/RC releases.
[Gen8 Android Development] *BlackMagic*:
Ok my bad. Sometimes I get bit confused with all the different threads here.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This means your kernel package did not update correctly.

Check for update.log (like in example here http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Upgrade)
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
I have decided install @aur0n's UrukDroid 1.0 on my ARCHOS 101 yesterday.

It very easy just only 3 step

1. Flash initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage from SDE boot menu

2. Installation UrukDroid 1.0 framework (Advanced method on internal storage,

Format and create new partitions)

3. install UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2 package)

At this time I'm very happy with Permanent Root, 1GB apps storage

UrukDroid 1.0 EasyInstall no need to prepair SDCARD partition, no need Linux's command. (Unlike UrukDroid 0.6 that it's very hard method for me)

Thank you very much.

A taste of HC on our tablets?

Hum looks promising and could be the default launcher for uruk, no?

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.ISAdevelopers.HoneycombLauncher.beta

Still in beta (and buggy) tho.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
No. There won't be any replacing of the stock Launcher. You can always install it yourself from Market or APK, but you can't install the stock Launcher without having a backup of an older ROM.

Not saying it doesn't look nice. I use Launcher Pro myself, but we shouldn't take out stock stuff, only add new stuff.
[Gen8 Android Development] TheCaedmon:
I installed Urukdroid 1.0 today and it runs very smooth and super fast :)

but its anoying to get all the time the "new update" info.

The AosUpdate is in the app.old folder but everytime when I reboot I get the info.

Maybe someone already fixed it but sorry if I dont read 200 sites here
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
I just simply have deleted the app to get rid of it :)
[Gen8 Android Development] TheCaedmon:
I fixed it :)

I moved the Daos.apk with RootExplorer into the app.old folder and renamed AosUpdate.apk into AosUpdate.ap and Daos.apk into Doas.ap and it works.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lord Bodak:
The 256MB app limitation in the stock firmware finally annoyed me to the point where I installed UrukDroid last night. It's working great so far!

I don't really see any reason to boot into the stock OS ever again. So here are my questions:

- why wouldn't I want to just install UrukDroid to the internal storage in place of the stock system?

- if I were to do that, could I recover back to stock by doing a wipe and reinstall of an Archos firmware?
[Gen8 Android Development] fly_us:
just install to internal storage and remove the stock firmware. You can always reflash it later via recovery menu.
[Gen8 Android Development] rk-ger:
Install question: When I choose

Advanced -> Install to Internal storage -> Resize existing partition

can I keep in this case my installed apps and settings? And the space for apps is increased to 1 GB afterwards?
[Gen8 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
No, because the "internal storage" where Uruk is installed is the memory of your Archos (the /sdcard folder if it speaks). The "real" Android is on its own partition (that we can't touch)
[Gen8 Android Development] rk-ger:
OK. Thanks. I have little linux knowhow. When I saw this correctly, you use 'newinit' from 'initramfs.cpio.gz' as a kind of overlay filesystem, right? And then you mount things from a to b and do some shell magic. As a result you have a running UrukDroid Sytem, right?

What happens in that case with my apps and settings? Do they become invisible or are they mounted to data.old? How do I get them back quickly? By copying them or better by using a TitaniumBackup Restore?
[Gen8 Android Development] Farkonian:
Argh! Finally decided to sit down and try this out on the wife's tablet, and the server appears to be down, last night and today. :(:confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
I can upload it for you, or dropbox it would be easier for me, if you like. 1.0 right?

Hello, anyone know how to install debian into Urukdroid 1.1rc?

There is only a rootfs.img under debian page, and I have tried to put it under /AlternativeOS/debian, but it won't boot up. Any one have the procedure of it, thank.
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
Reboot loops?

I am still on UrukDroid 1.0, however I am encountering an issue that I never saw with 2.1.08 (but saw lots on 2.3.20 and 2.3.26), reboot loops.

Turning wifi off seems to keep them from happening, but they are quite annoying.

They are soft reboots, not hard ones, and if we could hook at about the point where the UrukDroid logo comes up and starts pulsing, with a counter so if we hit that point more then twice we should be able to trigger a hard reboot and at the very least put the unit back into a sane state.

If someone wanted to point me at the source code and where in the code we handle the pulsing screen I'd be willing to take a crack at it from there. (My java is almost non-existent, but I'll figure it out. And we've got tmpfs filesystems for the counter.)
[Gen8 Android Development] ryadztu:
This also happens to my A43 with the stock Archos firmware for some reason - does the exact same thing but has the Archos logo instead. That would be a really useful fix though.

It's mostly kernel code written in C, this is more linux than android fyi

The only other two problems I still see (haven't had the wifi refuse to turn on since I reformatted to 1.0, though it shows 'Error' while off for some reason) is that the mediascanner doesn't add music, videos, or pictures most of the time, and I have to hold down power to reboot, simply pressing reboot at power options doesn't work (shows Powering off... and stays there)
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
A43 here as well.

But the pulsing Uruk logo is definitely in user space, not kernel space. (A 'soft reboot' isn't really a reboot at all, and it happens after several messages that come from the initrd stage. I'm just not sure where that part of the software stack lives and have not had the time to dig through it.)
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
The boot logo is called in the rootfs init.rc at the very beginning by calling a script, can't remember the exact name, but it's in /system/lib IIRC. boot_anim.sh or something.
[Gen8 Android Development] rho706:
dvb-t with tv (chulri) gives mediaplayer error 1007

First of all : thank you very much. I'm using urukdroid 1.0 and it works very pleasantly. Configuring dvb-t is easy and I could without any problem scan for channels. When I use Chulri's tv prog. it starts buffering then I get MediaPlayer error: what=1007, extra=0. Do I need the Archos Cinema Plugin ? Or is there another solution? A101IT / Pinnacle PCTV 73e / dib0700. No errors in dmesg.

Anybody a suggestion ?
[Gen8 Android Development] machhho:
I downloaded the update file for the UrukDroid rom which is UrukDroid-1.1RC1-update-rc , now my question is how to update it , where should I put the file . please guide me with the steps how to do it .

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
put it in the /data/urukupdate folder and wait for the device to reboot. Make sure you put the 1.1RC1 kernel update in there first.
[Gen8 Android Development] nonofficialcover:
My Archos 101 has the same problem. I've already partitiones my sd card, formatted and extracted rootfs.tar.gz to the 1st partition just like sir hurrpancakes.

Appreciate if anyone could tell us what to do.

Thank you!
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
You have to do a full system reformat through the recovery menu. You can also try flashing the non-SDE firmware, then flashing the SDE firmware again.
[Gen8 Android Development] machhho:
thanks msticninja for replying , I did what you told me nothing happened . did you mean to put the zip folder or the file inside the archive

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
No he meant that you don't do anything with the download except copy the single file to /data/UrukUpdate

[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I'll see if this one will be stable... since I was unable to make 2.3.26 stable enough to release Uruk1.1... :/
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Good luck buddy. I had a full reboot on .81 already. ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
This is why I stick with 1.0 which is pretty stable with my kernel on my device. :)

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Last night I had decided downgrade UrukDroid from 1.1 RC + OC to UrukDroid 1.0 by formated my device, updated ARCHOS Official Firmware 2.3.81 and installed UrukDroid 1.0 again.

At this time I'm very happy because my A101IT run faster, smoothly & stable. (Never rebooting in loop sometimes when waking up from suspend leaving Wi-Fi on)
[Gen8 Android Development] ho0o0o11111:
Does anyone know how to run Rescue Menu from 1.0?

I like 1.0 so much and don't want to upgrade to 1.1, due to 1.1's battery drainage issue (I understand this is Archos's fault).

I tried to create rescue-boot.lock in root folder, upgrade Urukconfig to 1.1 (so that to use the softbutton to reboot to rescue menu) and press volume button during reboot, none of them work for me.

I want to back up my Archos, just like making an "Image" in windows, so that I can restore easily later.

Thanks.
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
Don't suppose that kernel of yours can be used with the stock firmware?

On Uruk even after the kernel change I am still having troubles with the wifi dropping constantly. I can't get more than 3 minutes of wifi before it disappears. But I'd still like the extra power for my flash drives. (tho I never got to test mine)

...but then I suppose I would lose my root cuz I use chulris method for rooting. bah. I can't win.
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
Don't think u can use his kernel for stock android as u can't flash stock kernel.

Anyway - im using his kernel for about 2 weeks now (with uruk 1.0) and it realy does magic - had much better responsiveness with - even with cpugovener at "on demand".

Reboots are nearly gone for me...

Concerning wifi I figured out - my wifi signal breaks while charging + having wifi on. Seems the wifi-module is near the battery and my device get pretty hot at the back (left hand - where the connectors are) while using wifi or charging.

Seeme doing both overheats wifi and breaks signal.

Pluging charge cable -> wifi work again after short time.... :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Zobat:
Hi I just installed urukdroid because after the latest firmware upgrade i lost my root (archangel). After installing urukdroid 1.0, i am getting a notice that there is a firmware upgrade. Is this safe todo without loosing root?

regards
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
I've tried everything I can think of...clean install, plugged in, close to the router, blah blah. I turn it on, it shows up...two or three minutes if I am lucky and it drops off again. I have to reboot to get it back. I know sibres kernal works wonders cuz I had it running well at one point, but I wanted to do a clean install cuz I had been messing with a few things. And now thbbbbt. Nothing. I've gone back to using chulris root for now.
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Ignore the firmware upgrade notification otherwise you will loosing root. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] Zobat:
exactly the same setup and error here :(

Maybe wrong forum?

EDIT: Ignore! i bought the cinema-plugin from archos and it works flawless.
[Gen8 Android Development] Techngro:
What firmware is Uruk?

Hey all. I want to install Uruk 1.0, but i'm not sure if it will allow me to use the latest Archos firmware (2.3.81). I'm not sure I want to use it if i'm stuck on an old firmware.

Plz let me know if it's possible to use Uruk with the latest Archos firmware.
[Gen8 Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
UrukDroid 1.0 based on 2.1.8 iirc. So the answer is no so far. Maybe a release greater 1.1 will base on 2.3.81. The next one bases on 2.3.26.
[Gen8 Android Development] LeoNg628:
I am still waiting UD 1.1 based on 2.3.81....
[Gen8 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
I had a strange thing yesterday:

When I switched on my A70 the battery was completely drained.

Is there a workaround?

Welcome

I'm using 1.1RC2 urukdroid. Why 720p AC3 movies do not work? In the alternative programs will include a movie, but run very slowly
[Gen8 Android Development] ryadztu:
You can use Tasker and create a task to set wifi off on events such as screen turning on/off or on boot. I would do this but I almost always leave my wifi on anyway.

There's also free apps that do the same thing, Tasker is really advanced and well-designed though.
[Gen8 Android Development] dainese01:
Thanks mate.

This rom is great though. Love its stability and general speed!

Only issue is the device can't wake with brightness set lower than 26%.

does anyone else have that issue. Only way seems to be reset the device.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
That's a known issue of the archos fw for some time.

With some it's 26% some need 30%.
[Gen8 Android Development] dainese01:
Yeah, the archos really has grown on me. a set of anti glare screen protectors has made it useable in most lighting, no stupid reflections, ezpdf reader has transformed it into a smart and logical way to read pdfs, and battery life is quite good.

for $215AUD. Not bad i say!
[Gen8 Android Development] RollerCoasting:
How do I install this so that I can use the OpenAOS multiboot menu?

When I installed that it took over the developer option from the Archos bootloader, so now I can't boot into Uruk.
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
This my only tiny issue with 1.0, I don't have it on my A70 running 0.7. I cannot turn Wifi on by pressing the widget, I have to go to Settings> Wifi> and turn it on from there. When I get to that point, with it switched off, Wifi says "Error" underneath. It turns on ok from there. When I need to turn it off, I can do it by pressing the widget ok, or from Settings. When I do turn it off, the word "Error" reappears under Wifi, and then I cannot turn it on again from the widget.

Is this a known issue in 1.0?

EDIT 1:

I'm using Wifi Manager ok, incl AdHoc connection to my Nokia N97, that's why I said it's a tiny problem. It's just a loose end - I keep pressing the damn wifi button in the widget.

EDIT 2:

Cellphone (Bluetooth) tethering doesn't work for me (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

UD 1.0 on latest firmware

Without knowing any better I installed UD 1.0 on my Archos 101 with lhe latest FW 2.3.81. So far it has been working pretty much perfectly. Yet, all the talk is that it shouldn't work with this firmware.

What are the issues? What am I missing?

Please let me know so that I don't do something that bricks my tablet.

Thanks,

SR
[Gen8 Android Development] Lord Bodak:
Unless I'm mistaken, the firmware version you're running is irrelevant-- UrukDroid is independent of the stock firmware.

What people are talking about when they refer to UrukDroid and Archos firmware is that UD 1.0 is based on an older firmware, rather than the current 2.3.81.
[Gen8 Android Development] JasonOT:
What, if anything, is the benefit to a larger rootfs partition?

I believe I've read a larger data partition allows for more app install space, but what about rootfs?

I've got a 16GB class 10 card, so the larger partitions aren't that big of a deal if I install to SD. Just curious why 512MB is default/recommended but larger partititions are an option.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
You can have bigger swap file on rootfs, you can have AlteranativeOS file on this partition. But for most users there is no need for bigger rootfs.
[Gen8 Android Development] dainese01:
Hey $aur0n

Do you think there is much more that can be improved on your already great rom? It really has made my archos usable and quick.

Just wondering if there is much more in your opinion whether there could be any more improvements for the archos?

Thanks

UrukDroid 1.5

Hi,

Time for testing in wider circle - then developers only (and few inpatient ones) ;)

Changelog for UrukDroid 1.5 (changes from 1.0) (more precise changelog here):

[CHANGE] Since UrukDroid? 1.1 (both beta1/2/3 and release candidate 1/2/3) had stability and compatibility issues - that I was unable to trace down (too many changes on changes etc.) - I've decided to implement all stuff from beginning on fresh OS. Since all "reverse engineering" stuff was already made and I already have required knowledge - It should be the fastest method. So entire system is cleaned up, updated to latest binaries - and so far looks good :). That's why I've bumped version to 1.5 - just to make it a bit more visible it's not a straight continuation of 1.0/1.1.

[FIX] No more "soft reboots" (system reloaded it's graphics UI part)

[FIX] No more turning off WiFi issue (but it happens that WiFi can't pop in after full reboot - another reboot is required)

[FIX] CIFS startup on boot (Issue 57)

[CHANGE] Update process should be now more chatty and report more errors

[CHANGE] Reverted back WPA service (which enable UrukDroid? WPA supplicant with AdHoc? support) - since some people reported problems with adding new networks with Uruk version of WPA supplicant.

[CHANGE] Merged changes from Archos 2.3.28 OS

[NEW] New wpa_supplicant - hopefully with all features and without most of known problems (sometimes it still refuses to start)

[CHANGE] Updated modules and kernel

[FIX] Fix camera support for A43

[CHANGE] Merged changes from Archos 2.3.26 OS

[CHANGE] Redesigned services to output more reliable status

[FIX] Mediascanner fixes (did not rescan data sometimes)

[NEW] Introduced in 1.0 "Rescue Menu" now fully functional (RM)

[NEW] RescueMenu now have Alternative OS? boot feature

[NEW] RescueMenu now have "bare metal" backup/restore functionality

[NEW] Update process will now communicate with user with help of UrukConfig

[NEW] Enabled cgroups

[FIX] "Moved" boot image on A101

[FIX] 3Gmodem_init.sh fixes

[NEW] You can dissable boot from SDCard by naming any of it's partition "noboot" ('root@urukdroid:/root# e2label /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 noboot')

[NEW] patch (by Sibere) increasing USB current in Host mode

[NEW] New default apps in UrukDroid 1.5: WiFi Manager, FileExpert, QuickPic, Opera browser

Bot upgrade and install procedure you will find on project page: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/

EasyInstall for UrukDroid 1.5

UrukDroid_1.5-Install.rar (md5sum: b7cf1188141bca5ce29e83bf3a0baa55)

Upgrade to UrukDroid 1.5 (from 1.0, 1.1 and previous 1.5 version)

UrukDroid-1.5-upgrade.tbz2 (md5sum: c2396b316e710a397d117eda250926e0)

Warning - if you have 1.5 beta/RC - please apply fix first!

Upgrade does not install additional tools like: WiFi Manager, FileExpert, QuickPic, Opera browser. It's highly recommended to install them all manually.
[Gen8 Android Development] blawoef:
Our HERO! I installed and it's GREAT. Snappy, faster than any official FW (duh) or UD version before and seems very stable.
