Hi $aur0n ,

I had some problem to install UrukDroid 0.4.2.. :(

I tried 2 times but I could'nt flash it.

I made something wrong but what.... !?

I will wait your UrukDroid 0.5 release... maibe I will be more lucky !

Btw, Thanks very much for your hard work...

best regards
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yep - that's all (but it requires one more reboot after what you wrote) - please wait a sec until i'll find out why some people have problem with installing apps after upgrade (and I don't - so called developers luck :/ )
[Gen8 Android Development] lolo33:
Archos 70it, upgraded from 0.41 (your original market) to 0.5.

File extracted to the root directory, first reboot, wait 5 more minutes, and second reboot.

new archos firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929647

when i boot on Urukdroid

the system say NEW Firmware !

accept the update ? or Not ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It should not interfere with Uruk - if it's not installed on internal disk.
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
So we can update to the latest firmware as long as it's on the Microsd and NOT the internal storage?
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
thx it is good for the update!
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
*remove*, wrong thread.
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
So, I am trying to update to 0.5. Had previously installed 0.4.2, but USB storage mount wasn't working. Was working with 0.4.1, so thought I would roll back to that first, since the only problem I had there was disabled network location. But I can't seem to install either 0.4.1, or 0.4.2 now, keeps hanging at second Archos boot screen. Using 101it, installed to microSD card. Have followed instructions in OP precisely (which have always worked fine). Have tried completely reformatting SD card and starting from square 1, and have even tried restoring stock Archos firmware first, but just cannot get it to work. Only instruction I didn't follow from post was the copy-data bit, as I wanted to set Uruk as fresh install.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What is (what is says) second boot screen exactly. Install 0.4.1 or 0.2 - it should does not matter after update (there was small glitch with automounter - and that's why probably you couldn't mount over usb).
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
It's the second "Archos Entertainment Your Way" screen, the one just before the white distorted screen usually comes up.

Have tried with both 0.4.1 and 0.4.2, but no good. Even redownloaded the original files, as I had been messing with the Google apks.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This means you haven't even manage to boot kernel/initramfs - repeat this step (flash kernel/initramfs) - to be sure, use my source.
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Thanks, just reflashed kernel/initramfs and now looking at distorted white screen. I actually just used the copies I download last night, same as I've been using all morning! No idea why it suddenly worked. Good to know hanging at the Archos screen just requires relashing kernel, not replacing whole file system!

quick question if I may? If I am messing around with framework-res.apk, and it won't boot, to restore original I would have to reformat sdc2 and recopy file system (mv UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz) right? Also, I was unzipping the rar's direct to /tmp, rather than unzipping from sdc1, shouldn't cause a problem right? (am using Ubuntu dual boot)
[Gen8 Android Development] willbread:
to $auron,

i've just post a new thread about last version firmware : version 2.1.02 available on archos website

so, even if i had a bit difficulty to apply your root kernel, it works now and, of course, i'd like to apply it with the last firmware.

is it possible you think ? or is there some change to do before ?

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Are you asking if upgrading stock firmware can mess UrukDroid installation?

It shouldn't - there is no reason why during update Archos eng would touch anything on SDE side. That's all I can tell for now.

I've updated 0.5 link to one with fixed app installation.
[Gen8 Android Development] willbread:
no $aur0n, i thought about your root installation.

is your installation will be update too when we apply the new firmware ?
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
Yup that's true.

After updating to the latest archos firmware 2.0.72, my SDE stayed 2.0.71,

Wish I could get Uruk with 2.0.72 tho, do I just do a simple copy of /data over?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I may misjudge new firmware - but what I've seen briefly in change log - they just change media service (witch is really good thing), probably changed wifi firmware - perhaps kernel module (but don't think so), patched djmount (as I requested at support ;) ), probably some small fixes in init and config.provider. This are all good things - but it's nothing breath taking.

So certainly I'll use it in next release (0.6) - but don't push - since there is no reason to...
[Gen8 Android Development] liutszho:
Oh sorry I'm not pushing,

If that came across in my post I apologize, I am really really thankful for Uruk :) keep up the good work!
[Gen8 Android Development] DougEdey:
Went to 0.5 smoothly, double reboot went fine. Just enabled the swap to see how that helps.

Uruk Config seemed to be slow to load after boot though (at least 2 mins before any icons appeared)
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Just installed the updated 0.5, all running smoothly except still getting the issue installing apk's. Using either Files app or Root Explorer, install starts, then progress bar pauses, screen goes black and after few seconds, home screen reappears but the app I was trying to install is not on the system.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Did you downloaded new 0.5 update file - probably not...
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Well, I downloaded from the link on post 1045 at about 1430 today, local time. The post was last edited by yourself at 1316 local time, so I should have the latest files? Unless there was another download location I missed?

BTW, there was one thing which I did manage to work out, don't remember seeing it posted already. Those people having problems with the screen not responding when waking the device from sleep, try forcing a screen recalibration through the recovery. Fixed it for me!
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Where is 0.5 link?
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
I haven't dug into this yet (ended up being unexpectedly swamped at work) but when I tried to push the 0.5 update to / I find I do not have write permissions (as root)

While I know I can change this, I'm more curious if this is expected, or an indication that something went wrong somewhere along the way (I have some candidates, which is why I'm asking vs just fixing the problem and moving on)

[Gen8 Android Development] DougEdey:
Have you booted into the standard edition?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1045 is a proper post. Updated file is this it's m5sum is: ee0b345274356d69cd513849d77523be.

This issue (with installing apps) is fixed there.

ps. About this fix for screen freezes - please write a post in "Report UrukDroid bugs, errors, and questions here!" thread - it may be useful for others.
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
but they have enabled swap in this one for the first time - right ?

- Stephen
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Enabled yes, but so called "swap daemon" was already in 2.0.71 - but this is a talk on another thread... - so please stay here with Uruk ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Assume you were asking me, no. Definitely had su just no write rights on /

Quick question - I have 0.4.2 working (its working great thank you so much). Its installed in my internal SD. Here are my partitions

/dev/sdb1 => 5.5 GB FAT52

/dev/sdb2 => 500 mb ext4 => This is rootfs

/dev/sdb3 => 1 gb ext4 ====> This is /data

If I just put UrukDroid-rootfs-update.tgz in rootfs partition (/dev/sdb2) and reboot will it work?
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
I am :p see ... more beer $$$$

[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
Upgrading from 0.4.1 to .5 RC on the 101 and having an issue on boot. On the second reboot it freezes on the boot screen with "Switching to rootfs". I let it sit here for 25-30 minutes the first time with nothing happening.

Thoughts?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
You can do it this way. Or wait a bit longer - I’ll update 0.5 final to be bootable from internal also.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What's your partition layout? Probably something wrong there...
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
Standard from post #1

1) vfat 14.5

2) ext4 512M

3) ext4 1G

I think the problem is I unzipped it on my windows computer and copied it to the root directory and then tried to upgrade. Would that do it? The md5 sum checks out.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I don't really understand this steps - you've tried to upgrade what after copying the file?
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
To upgrade the 0.4.1 Uruk to the .5 release I did this:

(1) Downloaded the .5 upgrade zip on my windows machine, unzipped

(2) moved the .tgz file to root of SDE filesystem (/) on the archos.

(3) rebooted, waited ten minutes (everything ran fine here)

(4) rebooted again - new boot screen shows up, bootup freezes on "switching to rootfs" and will sit here for more than 30 minutes before I finally turn the archos 101 off.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Seems to be ok. Please flash this initramfs and kernel - it should write some errors if mounting fails. Flash them with Boot Menu.
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
Failed to mount rootfs/dev/mmcblk2p2

:(
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
So there is something wrong with your second SDcard partition... - please check it... connect to Linux and do some fsck

("fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb2" - if this is /dev/sdb of course)
[Gen8 Android Development] foxtrotter:
It happened to me in the past when i first tried dvb modules and apk from chulri

Could it be due to the fact that you include chulri modules ? (Maybe nonsense but it juzt recall my past experience,each time i used chulri app it destroy my data partition)
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
sdb2 is the proper partition, fdisk /dev/sdb shows sdb 2 as having 524288 blocks while the others have 14063616 and 1048576.

fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb2 prints =

/dev/sdb2: recovering journal

/dev/sdb2: clean, 2990/32768 files, 73627/131072 blocks
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Well dvb modules are not harmful for sure ;) For churli app I can't guarantee - but I've seen it and does not look danger too ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Awesome!! I will wait. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] p0rk burn:
. . . And now it boots up like it should in about 30 seconds.

Seriously, Double you tea eff. Eh, I guess this is good since its working, right? But should I be worried my SD card is possessed by Satan or something?
[Gen8 Android Development] lolo33:
Same problem with the new 0.5.
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
APK problem in 0.5

ther is a fix for that on a earlier post.. some terminal commands...

su

chown 1000:1000 /data/app/

chmod 0775 /data/app

Run this in terminal and install as many APK as you would like.
[Gen8 Android Development] lolo33:
Thanks, it works.
[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
$aur0n: Thanks a lot. I upgraded my Archos 70 8GB from 0.4.1 to 0.5 without problem.

Just two questions:

1. How do I know the ramzswap is working?

2. Now I use my 8GB sdcard as a testing card and I upgrade it from 0.4.1 to 0.5 as mentioned above without problem. My question is after that when I put my 4GB 0.4.1 card back and boot it up, now I saw your Urukdroid 0.5 logo first and followed by your old 0.4 logo, and it boots up properly. Will there be any issue with this? And if I decide to go ahead with the upgrade to 0.5 with this card, will it be alright?
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
Hi,

I'm trying to flash UrukDroid 0.4.2.

My 101IT hangs with white screen.. (

all seens to be ok during step1

I see in the first post :

If your system hangs on "Initramfs: Loading..." - you did something wrong in first step. Make sure ext4 is without "huge_file" feature. Check if files are copied correctly.

How can I check it ?

thanks

PS :

I had UrukDroid screen !!!!

and some time later Rootfs: Loading...

now I have a black screen... but my archos is not shutdown... it's Normal ?

PS2 : Now I have my home screen.... but Archos freeze....
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1) Look "free" command (you should have "swap memory" 32MB). Or check by UrukConfig.

2) There will be a problem with upgrade - since upgrade system has changed... You will have to reflash 0.4 initramfs/kernel - boot 0.4 and then upgrade.
[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
I reflashed the 0.4.2 initramfs/kernel and reboot with developer edition, it only show the Archos splash screen and go nowhere. I think I've messed up with my Archos ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
on UrukConfig : i have Enabled (50-60) for the swap
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Both CompCache and Swap will be visible for system as "swap memory". Both can be enabled at the same time (higher priority have CompCache).

On UrukConfig you should see both services swap and compcache (by default in 0.5 only compcache is on).
[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
$aur0n: Do you have just the initramfs/zimage kernel files for me to download? because now I can't boot my 8GB (success 0.5) because I flash the 0.4.2 initramfs/zimage kernel files into it (what a mess:confused:).
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Sure - 0.5 kernel/initramfs are on my dropbox.

[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
Thanks a lot, but it won't help. After flashing both files, only splash screens for very longgg......time.

I think I have to redo the 0.4.2 from start....thanks.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
And what is the splash screen message? I'll should in an hour put 0.5 install files (not upgrade one).
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
great,than i will wait for 0.5 install version.
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
Hi,

I have finally my urukDroid 0.4.2 working !

I would like to install UrukDroid-0.4.2-GoogleMarket.rar and UrukDroid_0.5-update.zip but can't do that ...

I not sure where i have to extrat rar exactly .....

For googleMarket where I have to extract rar ?

when I plug my archos to my pc (windows xp) I can see two drivers.

1. Sdcard

2.an other but i can open it.. EXT3 partition

and for UrukDroid_0.5-update.zip ?

Same procedure ?

thanks very much....
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Just put files on sdcard and use on Archos some file manager or terminal to move it to root directory.

With 0.5 it's going to be easier since update dir is /data/UrukUpdate/
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
Well with a file explorer I can see :

External :

Network

SD Card

Internal

I suppose I have to put UrukDroid-rootfs-update.tgz file in "Internal" ?

I tried this but when I reboot my archos " dev edition" nothing happened....

What's wrong ?
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
May be It's better for me to wait next release ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Not build in file explorer - it's a crap! Root explorer or terminal in terminal (when you put this file in internal storage)

su
cd /sdcard/
mv *.tgz /
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Thanks, did download and try this version but still same problem. However:

this fixed it for me. Sorry, I didn't see the earlier post referred to. Thanks both!
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Ok ;) 0.5 released....

I'll do now some market package for it (as we have new upgrade/update system). And prepare fresh update 0.4->0.5
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
:) great !

having some problem... I restart seens the beginning with UruKDroid 0.5 !

thanks a lot for your hard work....

PS : I'm on "UrukDroid 0.5 boot : system installation in progress, please wait" screen .... :) :)
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
do i have to wait for a market for 0.5 or can i just use arctools or something like that.

I installed 0.5 right now,have to say this method now really is nearly bulletproof,amazing whats happened in just 5 version of uruk,brilliant,
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
Works well ! :) :)

I'm very happy with it !!

Just a question :

if I want to install this new release into internal memory, what I have to do ?

(I have a 16Go class 4 card....no enough....)

Thanks a million !

Regards...
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Can you also post instructions to upgrade from 0.4.2 to 0.5? I have /rootfs and /data installed in internal SD
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It's in third post of this thread - as usual. But - be warned - that this is designed to work on SD card, so since I don't know whose initramfs/zimage you use in 0.4 (not Uruk one for sure) - I can't guarantee it will work (but in dev thread people said it worked).
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
I erased everything before installing 0.5 everything seems ok,but Titanium Backup seem to have a problem,it cant install my apps correctly,it hangs during installing the first,although it installs the app but than it doesnt go further,any tips?

edit:solved the problem somehow,but noe estrong file explorer doesnt find the sd,wthat he did before in 0.4.2 .

i have some weird probs will try installng again.

ok,forget everything i said seems that all problems are because of my titanium backup.maybe something got corrupted while copying
[Gen8 Android Development] dirttrasher:
Hi,

Thanks ! :)

Update from 0.41 to 0.5 is working, i do some tests now...

App Installation from AppMonster is working fine...
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
for me, UrukDroid is very very slow, maybe because of my sd card class 4

I would like to launch it from internal memory... any help ?
[Gen8 Android Development] d31b0y:
Just upgraded to 0.5 painlessly. Excellent job, and so far everything appears to be working correctly. Market still working, bluetooth tether etc.

Only took about 15 mins to upgrade completely, of which I spent about 1 min interacting. Very simple.

System seems to be flying along. Really responsive. Thanks $aur0n!! If I come across anything, I will let you know.

This release appears to be a pretty big milestone. The thought of things improving further is making me wet* ;)

*Or at least it would if I was a woman
[Gen8 Android Development] digger94:
Sinds UrukDroid 0.1 playing around on A43IT.

I use now a Patriot LX Series 4GB class 10 and UrukDroid 0.5 seems to be very slow. Is this a bad MicroSDHC
[Gen8 Android Development] monkeydrufy:
sorry guys, Can I install ukudroid 0.5 on archos with the new firmware?

thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes you can :) This are completely separate things.
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
great sauron! the next big step forward!! thank you!

the only thing that sucks(it is not yours sauron, it is googles!!!) is that i have to make more than one time a market fix......now i made 4 fixes, now at the end all buyed apps appear....
[Gen8 Android Development] nimrodity:
there is one thing i dont get.

With my old class 2 which is broken i got about 6000 i/o in quadrant.that was with 0.3 i think.

But now with my class 6 i just get about 2500.i tested another class 6 same result.and the system really is very sluggish and laggy .

What could be the reason the class 6 cards are both really fast so that cant be the problem but what else could it be

[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
An unexpected bouns - thanks.

A bit of feedback on 0.5.

First of all, thanks again - a very clever bit of work.

0.3 - I installed this once upon a time - worked well, except I couldn't see my USB devices.

0.4 - Wifi couldn't connect to my router (never solved this). Market got messed up - my fault.

0.5 - Today (on top of new FW 2.1.02 - I've not needed to update yet to the second update to 2.1.03 - it didn't affect me).

By the way, I did this install from the ground up, started with installing the SDE, so no remains of old root installs.

Wifi couldn't connect to my router as before, but it connected ok in Stock Android boot. Solved it this time by booting into Stock Android - used Root Explorer to go to /system/etc/wifi - copied firmware.bin, tiwlan.ini, and wpa_supplicant.ini, to a temporary folder in "Storage" (so I would see it when booted into Uruk).

Booted into Uruk - Root Explorer again, navigated to (Uruk) /system/etc/wifi, made new "bak" folder, moved all files into bak, and copied the 3 files from Storage into /system/etc/wifi.

Rebooted - connected ok.

Now the interesting thing. The Market.

I've noticed you still have "Step three: optional". So I intended to try that later. However I forgot to remove the old Market files before I started the 0.5 install. I only remembered after I had fixed the wifi.

So I still had the Market icon, and Gmail too, on my homescreen. So I pressed it out of curiosity. It worked! And so did Gmail.

So, I had the Market and Gmail working in "Stock" before I did the install, and they still worked after the install. I DID copy the "data copy" command over too, when I extracted the files to the sdcard, so the "copy" must have copied all the Market stuff correctly too.

That was an unexpected bonus.

So, now everything I've tried so far now works ok. It's very very slow, but I'm using a class 4 16GB card. Now that the main functions work, I may try things to improve performance - any suggestions (apart from a new card, for now) would be appreciated.

Thanks $aurOn, you're a clever guy.

Update: The whole setup really is VERY slow, way slower than can be attributed to just the card, I'm sure, going on my past installs.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Please go to terminal and look "top" command - is there anything special that runs on CPU that shouldn't (for example auid ? :) )
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
Where is "Top" command (Environment variable not set)?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It's "top" (not capital T - this does makes a difference). And it's in /usr/local/bin.

I've just made Quadrant test - solid 1700 (highest 1800) (and this is without any tricks - like killing all widgets etc. - just normal working system). So there is no any slow down in 0.5... there was in dev release problem with auid daemon eating 100% CPU all the time, but it should be solved.

edit: With setting cpu scaling to permanent 1GH - Quadrant gives easily 2000+ score.
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
Sorry, I know it's a lower case t, I don't know why I capitalised it.

Even if I cd to /usr/local/bin and enter top, I still get the message "TERM environment variable not set."

??
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
ehh - write "export TERM=vt100" - and add this line to .profile or as a start line of terminal (it's preferences) - to make it permanent.
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
same here

i have top command in /usr/local/bin directory but I have "TERM environment variable not set." too
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
i do not untersdand

yesterday i install the 0.5 (update from 0.42)

now i donwload the market file on /data/UrukUpdate/

i reboot

but i have not the market ...

thx
[Gen8 Android Development] masterbox:
Same problem here, from fresh install, snirf...
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
it's work for me now....

i have a list with PID USER PR etc...

what i have to find ?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Did the file from /data/UrukDroid disappeared? (it should). I've tested this today morning on fresh install and went fine - there where problems while installing market on copied /data. Anyway you should always get market icon - only if not installed on fresh Uruk it may simply not work.
