d31b0y: did your Archos show up in web market yet. I edited the uruk 0.7 build.prop to remove the Galaxy tab footprint and the next day, my Archos showed up again in the web Market. Have attached the build.prop I used. FWIW, I still had to perform the "Market fix" several times before more apps appeared, so I for one didn't notice any benefit from the Galaxy tab footprint.

To keep movies just put ".nomedia" file into the folder. Use file explorer for opening multimedia files.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
i think i saw another one too, but certainly it's in init.rc

write /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness 255

255 is max available

sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight# >echo "256" > brightness ; cat brightness

255

so if someone doesn't like booting with full lcd brightness, one can edit it in init.rc

< 8 the screen gets black btw
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
Thanks for that, will try it out. Have cross-posted this to the "enable hidden system settings" thread.

anyone else unable to mount USB storage on Urukdroid 0.7? (see sig for my hardware specs)
[Gen8 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
How do would you use this build.prop file to fix the market not showing on web problem?
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
I copied this file to my internal SD, and then used Root Explorer to move it to the /system folder, making sure to change the file permissions.

Just to clarify, the issue this was referring to was the Archos device not showing up on the web-based Android market (market.android.com) as a registered device - that's all.

Hi $aur0n,

Do you think you will overclock the kernel in UrukDroid 1.0 ?

Thank you.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
By default - no. It's available as Uruk package now - anyone can choose which version to use - in easy way :)
[Gen8 Android Development] topifone:
Hi guys, I just reinstalled Uruk 0.7 in advanced format cause I like it in the internal storage. If you have installed Uruk 0.6 before on SD card, you need to remove the SD card, otherwise, the installation process cannot complete and your Archos will still boot to Uruk 0.6. This is what happens to me so I share with you here.
[Gen8 Android Development] fisha21:
thanks for the reply. Sorry, I should have been more clear - I am unable to mount USB storage to my computer ie, when I connect to laptop with USB cable, I press the "mount" button but I get an error message (can't recall what it says) that basically means I can't connect via USB.
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
Ah, I see. You can't connect your Archos to your laptop. Is the error message on the Archos or your laptop? I think you're going to have to make a note of the error message.

When I installed 0.7 on my A101, and connected via USB, it took a while for Mr Android to turn from Irish to Dutch, maybe 20 seconds. But of course it finally did it ok.

This version 0.7 Internal must be close to a Final Release. I presently have no obvious faults at all.
[Gen8 Android Development] aznmode:
This is true. But how the heck do you disable this? I've tried reformatting the card but as soon as my archos boots with the card inserted I go back to Uruk .06 off the card.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
kind of strange, i never installed a game but i have a game backup entry in incron.d and a script in /system/xbin

how comes?
[Gen8 Android Development] willowave:
Hows the speed? Quadrant give you any issues?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If you have no gameloft games - it does nothing. So don't worry ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If you want to get rid of sdcard installation - just format it. But you have to erase existing partition and format it again...

Simple method on Uruk (wipe out entire sdcard)

su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk2 bs=1M count=5

Now sdcard is "clean" - you can use Archos sdcard formatter or on continue from shell

echo -e "n\np\n\n\n\nw\n" | fdisk -cu /dev/block/mmcblk2
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/block/mmcblk2p1

MArket and Update

Wil lMArket still works with update from 0.6 to 0.7.

If it does not, what do I have to do? Remove it before upgrading? Upgrade then remove? Leave it the way it is?

Thanks !
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Leave it and upgrade.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
this is certainly not usually. i have ntpd in the process list but tcpdump show only port 123 entries if clock sync syncronizes.

[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
Hey willowave.

Check out my post in the devs only thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11903350&postcount=742 , and my dialogue with $aur0n.

When checking these "FW" releases my first thought is to check HW issues, like connectivity. Then "System" functionality, then "Apps".

So my first thought was to check:

Wifi - normal

USB out - connect to PC - normal

USB in - connect peripherals to Archos (like keyboards and drives) - normal (NOW, but see post linked to above for drives)

Bluetooth - tethering to my Nokia N97 - normal

Bluetooth - connect iGo Stowaway external keyboard - normal (which is POOR, but does work - no different from my stock Android performance)

HDMI - connect to TV - normal (in conjunction with USB dongle trackball keyboard for use as a pseudo PC - awesome)

"System" functionality (Menu options) - normal

"Apps" - limited experience, but normal so far

Sounds like a "normal" FW release to me. Or better?

Thanks $aur0n.
[Gen8 Android Development] topifone:
More simple way for non-expert:

Boot without SDcard to Uruk7. Then insert SD card, go to settings > storage then click unmount sdcard, after unmount click format sdcard. Done!
[Gen8 Android Development] guygox:
Thanks !

One more question I used the method to install 0.6 on internal disk. It worked well. But evertime I reboot with an sdcard plugged I had an error message. By removing it everything went well.

Now I updated with the upgrade (still on internal flash disk), I works well except if I try to boot with my sdcar on it. The system boot but I have the installation wizard which launch and says it has to exit. Is there something to do?
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
Hi,

I had the same problem.

I had to remove UrukDroid installation from Sdcard and now it's work fine ( I formatted my SD card)

I can boot my A101 this sdcard plugged without problem.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
i dont like that after the red uruk logo the screen stays black

so here is how to get the part between uruk logo and homescreen animated

in /init.rc

look for line "service media /system/bin/mediaserver"

the service ends with

"ioprio rt 4"

insert after "ioprio rt 4"

##########

service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation

user graphics

group system audio graphics

disabled

oneshot

##########

get or make your favorite bootanimation.zip (i used one that runs on my desire)

copy or adb push bootanimation.zip to

/data/customization/

(if the directory doesn't exist, create it with

mkdir -p /data/customization/

)

maybe someone can find out better permissions than 777

root@archdroid://data/customization# >ll

total 2.2M

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2.2M Mar 8 13:42 bootanimation.zip

voila, reboot and enjoy
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
And ... SOLD! :) Will use that in 1.0.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
i don't know if it works on other than archos 101 ... cannot test

maybe a

strings /system/bin/bootanimation

helps for other devices
[Gen8 Android Development] Hondaracer:
Thanks for your guide. However, I only get the stock Archos boot animation not my custom...
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Of course I've tested it before writing previous message - it's working (but I'm not sure about scaling)

Trying to get DSP Manager to work on UrukDroid 0.7

Hopefully someone can help me out.

As a long time Cyanogen user I love DSP Manager and decided to try and install it on my A43IT running UrukDroid 0.7. After side loading the apk (no problems there) I also replaced the libaudioflinger.so file (without which it wouldn't work) and here's where I run into trouble. Upon reboot UrukDroid hangs at the "UrukDroid 0.7 Rootfs: Init..." stage and stays there.

Any insight into how to get this to work, if in fact it can, would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I could probably just use PowerAmp, which has a built in equalizer, and call it a day but I'm also rocking the Android 3.0 HC player and love the interface. If I can get DSP to work I'd then have an equalizer too!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just realized I probably should have posted this in the "UrukDroid Questions, Bugs, etc..." thread. My bad.
[Gen8 Android Development] Bentover:
Good work $aur0n!

I'm a new user of UrukDroid and I though I would share my experience:

- First I used the simple method and installed on my Transcend 16GB (6) card. It wasn't a great experience, quite slow and sometimes it would hang/reboot. I could find info in dmesg about write errors.

- Then I installed on my internal memory in my 16GB Archos 101. This was a great experience, very fast and nice indeed. Until I tried market which complained about lack of space and I realized that I had a ~8GB data partition. I see in the changelog that $aur0n limited the size to 1.95GB so I suppose this will fix this problem for the Archos 101 16GB as well in the future.

- I tried to resize/move partitions in gparted but this failed for some reason. I probably would have had trouble booting anyway...

- I ended up doing an internal install with formatting instead. 512MB+1.5GB. This worked for me.

- AppsLib can be uninstalled the normal way but I removed some other things I didn't want using ssh:

# cd /system/app

# mv Daos.apk OnlineRegistration.apk FroyoTransitionWizard.apk ArchosWidget.apk Email.apk UserManual.apk QuickSearchBox.apk StartupWizard.apk ../app.old/

- I installed market fix and then installed Gingerbread keyboard and Go Launcher Ex.

- I added "export TERM=vt100" to /root/.profile to get top to work.

- I turned on the media scanner on boot as it was said in the forum that otherwise media files could be deleted.

- I created a swap partition on my sd-card to get swap on another device. Dunno how to see the difference though. Things are working quite well without it.

- My USB-powered Samsung S2 NTFS 1TB disk works (on battery) after using ntfs_modules="ntfs nls_utf8" in /etc/uruk.conf/ntfs. Note that with this rom I seem to be able to watch 720p movies to the end which never worked for me on stock roms!!! (I even bought the codec pack from Archos.)

- My sdcard which still won't play ball. Copying movies to my sdcard failed after while. The Archos got quite hot in the sdcard-area, dunno if this caused it. Needs some further investigation. In the process I realized that >2GB files will not work with Archos File Manager.

- I had to start using TKIP instead of AES in my WNDR3700 router to get the connection reliable. Now Spotify will stay connected as well.

Things now work extremely well for me now!

Thanks for your great work $aur0n!!!
[Gen8 Android Development] PotentChili:
I apologize if this has already been asked or if this was the wrong place to ask, but is there any way you can remove the 20,000 item index limit? I put about 14,000 songs on my Archos 70 250gb and it still goes over the limit, probably due to it indexing all the other files too. I'd really love to be able to throw all 27,000 of my songs on my device, since that's what I bought it for in the first place. After the indexing hits its limit, music after the fact will no longer be shown in my music players (all of them) unless I use the "storage" feature, which is very slow and not the same functionality at all. Thanks for your time!

edit: Someone told me a while ago that Archos mentioned trying to "find a way to fix this" or something, but so far I've seen no change in the past few firmware updates. So I figured maybe you'll be able to master this instead of Archos..
[Gen8 Android Development] CarsnGadgets:
Just installed 0.7 last night and it went seamlessly, and seems to be working perfectly, thanks a lot $aur0n and anyone else that contributed to urukdroid. a Donation has been sent.

just a few questions so far:

The swap option in urukdroid config is disabled, but if I type 'free' in terminal I see 32760 listed, I presume that is the standard swap that we have had since the last 2 archos firmware updates? if so, is that swap disabled/replaced if I turn on the urukdroid one in config? and where is the urukdroid swap located? can it be moved to the sdcard?

thankyou. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This is CompCache (see third post of this thread) - it also act like a swap.

Do use disk swap - use swap service (read in the same - third - post).

I have a new problem. When I use tether by bluetooth after few mins. The archos 101 hand and

I must press the power to shutdwn it.

Have anyone the same problem?
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
I had this for the first time ever today on my A101. Last night I gave the power button a short press as usual, to switch off the display (I'ver never used "deep sleep"). This morning I short pressed the power button as usual - nothing. Tried several times- nothing - no screen, no green light beside the power button. Plugged in the mains lead - nothing. Eventually long pressed the power button, with the mains lead connected - by long press I don't mean the usual 15 seconds, I pressed it for about 30 seconds. Finally the green light beside the power button came on - still no display. Let the button go, then gave it a short press and the A101 booted Uruk from scratch.

It was quite scary - I thought my A101 had died. I've never had this happen before, either with the stock FW or with Uruk.

I just described fully what happened in case anyone else gets the same thing happen.

Odd ...
[Gen8 Android Development] pki101:
My Uruk 0.7 does it every time, must use deep sleep after screen off or it just dies after 'suspending' couple minutes. Screen also freezes often and launcher informs it doesn't respond and must select force close/wait.

Just noticed that cpu is 100% almost all the time and android system uses approx 95% of cpu time.

Really like this uruk, but too many unstable problems and hoping that next version is more stable.

[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If the disk is NTFS - make ntfs service load on startup (use UrukConfig) and/or (it may be not necessary) - edit /etc/uruk.conf/ntfs to add nls_utf8 support. For this modify line in this file, to look like this

ntfs_modules="ntfs nls_utf8"

no changes.

It's like I umount my Hard disk in order to unplugg it.

It would be funny if the problem exists because your harddrive has a different ntfs version how old is your harddrive?have you formatted it with an os prior to xp?

Well,

I bought it two mounth ago.

It's 2.5" Hard disk 500Go.

I can mount this without problem with android stock ROM 2.1.8

but I can't with UrukDroid 0.7 (I never test it before)

Maybe it's because of an app installed like WidgetSoid (?) :(

CifsManager with my archos 101

Hi guys,

first I wanna thank for such a great rom. I recently installed 0.7 version and it is wonderful. I just have one question. Is it possible to mount smb through cifmanager or any other manager. My Archos 101 IT always freeze during mounting and only hard reset helps.

Thank you for your responses. :o
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
So you did not do like i wrote - please modify /etc/uruk.conf/ntfs and add nls module.

SMB should work without a problem (both client and server mode).
[Gen8 Android Development] dafko:
Interesting. Using console i was able to mount without any problem. Nevertheless any of managers is not working. :]

Thank you anyway.
[Gen8 Android Development] woti23:
i believe fuse/smb and cifsmanager (which uses cifs.ko) don't go well together, so use either one or the other (thats disabling all fuse/smb for cifsmanager)

if you got a freeze but can connect with adb shell, you could try

fusermount -u mountpoint

to "unfreeze"

i use cifsmanager and it works just fine

fusesmb uses smb protokoll which is "deprecated"
[Gen8 Android Development] Caste23:
$aur0n,

I'm really confused...

I modified /etc/uruk.conf/ntfs with nls module and it did not work.

I tried an other time and now it's work !!!! :eek:

I really don't understand where I was wrong before.... :confused:

But now with ntfs service started, and nls_utf8 all It's ok.
