I'm suffering from the same I/O problem using this kernel, but i'm glad to see the SDP is going well on the last cpu slot, so it's definitely not a block to higher clocks, I'll work on 1.3 and higher, perhaps 1.25 is the stable limit though! Keep up the good work, if you get this EXT4 problem sorted it'll be amazing
[Gen8 Android Development] d31b0y:
Glad to see this is picking up speed. And compatibility with $aur0n's stuff is awesome too. Can't wait to get my hand on my class 10 ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
great, I can reproduce the ext4 problem. cox I am testing the lag fix, I bypass the ext4 problem :cool:

I will try to revert the ext4 commit and test it after meal. Will post update once I figure that out.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Ok, so I'm going to wait for that ext4 fix... there is no need to spoil the excellent ext4 performance by a mere 100MHz more cpu power, if even stable on my specific device.
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
I'm having the same problem too, I even tried rerooting with the 1100 zImage but still scoring 1800 benchmark :(

I Just updated The kernel on my A32 .. Works great I just Benchmarked at 2058 Sweet .. The A32 Battery may not like it ..

On the A32 there is no SD card is there anyway i can get FULL R/W root YET .. ?

Thanks Keep up the great work ...

AWESOMENESS!!

The problem is fixed for me, I am now benchmarking at 2662 running at 1200.

Thank you x infinity
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I guess i'm lost... Partially...

Can anyone please explain the difference of what is going on in this thread compared to what is going on in the other thread with the root R/W access.

Things I understand:

1. This thread has to do with Over clocking

2. The other thread has to do with R/W and SU privs..

Things I don't understand:

1. Does both require SDE from Archos installed?

2. There are a lot of files being posted, are there differences in them all?

3. Which one should I try first or should I wait?

4. If I want to just do overclock, will I need SDE and to do all of the things in the Other Thread first before I can do this?

5. Does the other thread include this overclocking as well or are they seperate?

6. Are the two methods going to eventually be combined into one method?

7. Is there any one method I can follow from front to back to acheive either result. Seems like it changes every 15 minuites...

I appreciate anyones help, I am new to this although not new to root. I just need a little more info before i void my warranty...

JW

BTW... ADW Launcher EX has been rocking my face off...
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
Generally, there are 2 methods, both need to install with SDE

Method 1 - root only

================

1) Boot into SDE

2) Flash initramfs by dogmaphobia ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880321 ) and my kernel (or any other kernel)

3) Reboot -> SDE -> Developer Edition

4) This is rooted, but not perm root, you need to add/remove apps every restart

Method 2 - rooted, boot from SD

=========================

1) Boot into SDE

2) Flash initramfs by $aur0n ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895599 ) and my kernel (or other kernel that support EXT4)

3) Reboot -> SDE -> Developer Edition

4) Boot from SD card, because EXT4 file system is used, so it is fast and all contents are stored on SD card so that it is perm root with unlimited /data/ storage

Kernel:

dogmaphobia kernel: Not overclock, no EXT4 support

$aur0n kernel: Not overclocked, EXT4 is supported

My kernel: Overclocked, EXT4 is supported

Actually, more and more people are developing the kernel and you can choose which one to use. Knowledge should be shared while keeping unique customization per author is very common in xda-developer for any other devices
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
thanks for clearing that up. it was giving me a bit of a headache too! :)
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
So the initramfs by $aur0n has the EXT4 Support, and your Image has the overclock in it.

Using these two together should give me over clocking to 1200 and EXT4 Support.

Am I correct?

Edit:

Intramfs for $aur0n has the Boot from SD portion covered. Your Kernel has the EXT4 and Overclock... Right?
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
Yes, Intramfs for $aur0n has the Boot from SD portion covered.

And boot from SD recommends using EXT4 as the file system for SD card

So, kernel must support EXT4 in order to read EXT4 formated SD card

Yes, my kernel supports EXT4 and overclock. I know that someone is making (have made) another overclocked & EXT4 supported kernel. Mine is not the only one.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
New kernel runs great at 1200 MHz, thanks for the quick fix!

Quadrant upto 2600 now with a class 6 card.
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
SetCPU

Does this come in the upgrade, or will I need to side load this after to get up to 1200?

Again, I am just trying to make sure I got all the facts before I void my warranty. I bought directly from Archos.com, so, I have good coverage through them for at least a year manufacture warranty. I got previous models from Ebay and such and they will not support them when bought through 3rd party websites. Anyone need a Archos7 IMT - 320G POS beer coaster?? Ha ha!
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
i get about

1600 with the standard kernel at 1 ghz

2100 with oc kernel at 1,2 ghz

1900 with oc kernel at 1 ghz

card speed is 8mb/s write;16mb/s read

dont know the class,it was a standard 4gb card of my htc desire

Will a faster card bring any noticable increase in perfomance in all day use or just in the benchmark

btw.

with the oc kernel i get the sd card broken notification.

I didnt have it with the standard kernel,can i fix this
[Gen8 Android Development] ayeaye:
Hi can someone explain to me if I need to copy the initramfs and kernel to the root of the sd card after i connect the archos to my pc ) in step2 or do I need to copy it to the internal memory?
[Gen8 Android Development] dewthat:
Boot into the SDE menu and choose Flash intramfs and kernel. It will prompt you to connect via USB and copy them over.
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
Are you sure you installed version 0.2 for the ext4 method? I had the sd card broken msg and i realised i installed 0.1
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
@ayeaye

# reboot and hold down "Vol-" button after screen went black

# Go to recovery menu and choose flash kernel / initramfs.cpio.gz

# connect your archos device by usb to your computer

# upload zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to your device <-- In this step just copy files to you device, (at this time you will not found any files and folders in your device)

# safely disconnect the usb connection

# press ok on archos device

# reboot and hold down "Vol-" button after screen went black

[Gen8 Android Development] z06mike:
Will this new kernel work straight on the device or does the SD card have to be used? At this point I only have a 16gb Class 2 microSD card which is why I ask.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
des i downloaded Thema 0.2 never eben downloaded Thema 0.1 Version.

But the notification isn't something to worry about, or am I wrong.

I can wait till the next version and start new. I think I'll wait till there. It was hard enough for me getting things right the first time.

[Gen8 Android Development] Uejji:
I'm not running any ext4 fix or anything, just the original initfs that overlays the stock firmware, but this kernel absolutely flies compared to the original 1.2 GHz overclock version.

I don't like to exaggerate. My 101 was almost unusable unless you specifically started killing applications all the time, but now there is only a little bit of slowdown now and again. 3d framerates seem to be at least 50% better too.
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Dear ardatdat

First of all I would like to say thank you very much for kindly help.

At this time i can get temp root by used initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage files from @dogmaphobia's thread.

For the next step, If i need to overclock & use setcpu app. I just use you zImage file (replace & re-flash) right?

I not need to use boot from sd because it is difficult for me to make sd patition on Windows 7 :)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Hey it looks like a great work (i'm just compiling your git to see it ;) ) - do you have any kind of changelog - what exactly was backported from newer linux kernels?

I'm having compile errors and there's seems to be a lot of files changed comparing to 2.6.29...
[Gen8 Android Development] hurrpancakes:
Well the I/O issue is fixed now, and I've noticed that the device is a bit snappier with the updated kernel.
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
Yea theres nothing to worry about.

Class 02 - 16 Gig

I finally got my Archos 101 working with the Root thread using the 1200 overclock Image.

Just a note: I used the 16G class 2 Micro SD at first just to see if i could make it happen. Used SetCPU to over clock to 1200, and I got a 2610 off Quadrant. I am not sure using a higher class is that much better, being is that I don't think the read/write speeds are what is killing the quadrant scores. I played a 720 P .mkv through SMB when i got home with no problems through the Archos video player. rust me I WILL get a class 6-10 later, but if you don't have one right now, just GO FOR IT with your class 2-4. It is still better than the fat32 BS Archos internal.

Just My Opinion

JW
[Gen8 Android Development] dewthat:
It depends, the class refers to the minimum standard it will support at all times. If you have a high quality older card, it will be *much faster* than Class 2. By the same token, a crappy "class 6" card could easily be as slow as class 2.

I have a "class 2" Sandisk from about two years ago that gets 6 MB write, 9MB read.
[Gen8 Android Development] realityr:
OMG fxxxg flying!!

COM port with usb adapter, using pl2303 driver.

Hello,

can you add the driver: pl2303 to the kernel?

I see that is not included, it will be nice to have my USB GPS and OBD reader working on archos. I have the host cable and most off the mass storage works fine.

I don know why is this driver not included, it is in the linux kernel very long time.

[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
@sublimejosh2000

thx for the tip,will try it

EDIT: THX problem i solved,yeah

my class 6 has 8mb write/15mb read.

Will a class 10 really be a improvement?

I saw a sd card hat says 30mb/s is that even possible,because this woul be even 3 time faster than a normal class 10 card.The Archos should fly than,or not?
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Classes

I think it is depending, my class 2 seems like it is fine, I'm getting 2600+ scores on Quadrant and everything seems fluid as h-e-Double toothpicks... I tested it using the "Disk Utility" in Ubuntu and it said it had 14Mb read speeds, I couldn't test the Write Speeds because it needed a blank partition for that. I got this one from Micro center it is a Micro center brand name SDHC card. I am obviously planning to buy a better class and see if I see any differences, but for now I'm happy. I don't think anyone should wait to do this because of the Class of their SD card not being High enough. Go ahead, do it, then order the big one, and do it again. I plan to. Should go faster next time now that I know what i'm doing.

[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
I switched swapiness to 90 and the swap file to 250mb. Don't know if that's the optimum. I am testing right now but so long it feels much smoother than before.
[Gen8 Android Development] jbradshw:
I'm also getting around this same quadrant score, with the 1200 kernel. I'm scratching my head as to how people are getting into the 2600s.

I used that quick script to test write speed where it write's 100 MB worth of 0's to a file and it came out to ~8MB/sec so I know my card is "fast enough."
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Quadrant

Just run the quadrant a few times, i get different results, kill apps running in the backgrounbd prior, and give it a few trys. These are just my BEST scores.
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
I killed all apps and i can run it 4-5 times, but highest score ever was 2217 points.

I think I'll buy a faster sd anyway, it doesn't cost much I think it's worth trying. But I am happy with the new performance no matter what the scores are

Quadrant Schmodrant...

W/e quadrant say.. The thing is much faster, and regaurdless of the scores, they are hit or miss, the thing is acting like it was intended now. I think that Archos needs to develop these changes into the official release. Am I the only one using the NEW ADW EX launcher with random transition effects???

AWESOME!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
No I use adw ex too, even in daily use on my htc desire. It's absolutely wonderful, the best launcher right now.

But I don't have high expectations in archos doing the necessary tweaks themselves. If they see that the community is doing their work, why should they.

I never saw archos as a company interested in improving their products after release. But that's the problem with most cheaper companies nowadays.

Sent from my A70S using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Using an OC kernel is only part of the speed up process... you need to move your data partition to an ext4 partition on the sd card to get the full speed out of your Archos.

See Steps 3 and 4 of $aurons thread, initial post.

Using the sd card for /data speeds up the tablet much more than just OC'ing the cpu/gpu. Add in a swap space (256 MiByte, "swappiness" 100) and you'll improve it even more.
[Gen8 Android Development] garychan999:
Hi ardatdat, because files are update too fast,

may i know which file of $aur0n i should download? 0.3 or 2.0.71-0.2?

if i root to boot on sd, what will happen if the sd card not work someday?

thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
I have been using 0.2 version (2.0.71-0.2). Do not have time to test 0.3 yet.

Boot on SD, you can backup the SD card to your computer, so if the SD card fails one day, you can recover those files from your computer.

In addition, although boot from SD, you can still access the internal storage (8G) ( /sdcard/ ) to store your data
[Gen8 Android Development] garychan999:
Thank you so much !!!!!!! :)
[Gen8 Android Development] IngoPan:
Hallo,

is it possible to set a custom IMEI or at least give the Archos a 15 digit (fake) IMEI # in te custom ROMS as a lot of the available apps check for that IMEI digit and an installation is then impossible.

Thanks, Ingo

Hi ardatdat,

Only i'm no software developer so i can't do actual programming but if you need any info about this device, or have some custom roms to test i might be able to help.

how use ramzswap ??

and what is the difference with Swapper ?
[Gen8 Android Development] N23:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/

ramzswap = compcache - so the swap-space is also located in the ram but compressed ,so the 256MB are used better (but still too less i think).

[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Hm, not so satisfying. I didn't do anything with it, but after half an hour or so it froze with a black screen. This happened quite some time now but I'm not sure it if's because of UrukDroid itself.
[Gen8 Android Development] z06mike:
What app are you guys using to get these quadrant scores??? I realize quadrant score doesn't really mean much, but I think it does give some insight as to how these devices are performing.

The highest I've gotten is like 1800 with the OC kernel. Of course I am only using a class 2 sd card, but you say POS and you're still getting 2500s!!
[Gen8 Android Development] Sean35:
I'm getting between 1800-2080 running off the internal storage. If I turn on the tablet when I get home from work (5:30ish), and use on and off until I shut it off (midnightish), I've got about 50% battery life left. No heat issues, mostly just using for web browsing, IM, and last.fm (headphones). Multitasking wasn't really possible on the stock build as music struggled to stream. Now, rarely any issues, other than the occasional freeze up if I try to do too much. Looking forward to getting a class 10 SDHC card and going from there.
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
What do you mean "Running off the internal storage"? what are you running and what are you saying?

.. Most importantly, if this is the case, I would rather run "Something" off the internal instead of SD card .. as long as it is a little bit better than stock, the stock with ADW EX is not that bad, just needs a little extra..
[Gen8 Android Development] z06mike:
He installed SDE, used dogma's initramfs and replaced the kernel with the OC one.

That does not require that you run off of an SD card.
[Gen8 Android Development] Greenerey:
Thanks for the hard work ardatdat!! The kernel definitely makes my 101 a hell of a lot 'snappier'. I think Archos should probably merge some of these patches too :D
[Gen8 Android Development] anurbanlegend:
Not sure what you mean by which apps I'm using to get the score. What I did... setup Uruk 3 + ardatdat kernal. Installed the 50 or so apps I like. Use my device. Then installed Quadrant and ran it and that was my score LOL. Nothing special, no special apps or tweaks. I am running adwlauncher ex as my home launcher.

BTW My sd card came from an old RAZR phone. It's a 2gb sd card and doesnt even show the class on it but this card is over 4 years old...
[Gen8 Android Development] guags99:
This is exactly what I did, but with the latest Kernel (fix05) SetCPU doesn't seem to do anything. The "Time in State" on the info page shows zero for all clock speeds and when on the Main screen it just bounces between 300 & 1000Mhz, even though I have it set to 250 - 1152.

I have rebooted, but no difference. Is this only a problem becuase I am booting from internal and not SD, or are others seeing this?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
I have the SDE and this kernel installed and booting off the internal. I have a similar issue, however my setcpu widget updates and shows the clocking on the correct profiles but opening the app the times show 0 on all the states as well.
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
It is normal for "the app the times show 0". As long as SetCPU is adjusting the frequency according to our frequency table. :cool:
