Where do Uruk's libraries come from? Are they freshly built from Froyo sources, are they copies of the Archos binaries (I don't think Archos released library source, have they?), or something else?
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
If I'm not mistaken, they are copies from stock FW

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)

Hello Sibere,

I have te sensation that the battery is draining very fast by use Usb-tether on my A43. I have it comneted using one usb-hub with power, but the system still send power over the usb, draining the battery faster.

It is a way to disable this power supply? The other if I have the usb-host active is not possible to charge.

Best Regard,

Ferenc.
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
I never tried USB tether. How do you use it?

Anyway, if something is asking for power from the USB host, it will obviously drain the battery. Without USB patch, the drain is max 100mA, with the patch it must be close to 400mA
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
OK, I think the best option will be disable it on the wiring itself.

How I use it? USB - dongle( supported on Linux) , usb-hub and the rest is fill the right options on the tether menu

$auron has done one very good job with the scripts that make it possible.

Best regards.

Ferenc.

Application will install in stock firmware but not UrukDroid

Battleheart will install in stock firmware but not in UrukDroid (1.5.1). In Uruk, the error message is something like "features required are missing."

Does anyone have any ideas if this can be fixed? The only other suggestion I found did not work (there was no smdl2tmp1.asec file present).

Could it be something in AndroidManifest.xml that I need to change?

[Gen8 Android Development] ray1234:
Ever since I went on 1.5.1, I have a strange problem :

Doing a fresh reboot, I found that there is 4-5 particular icons for programs that always refresh very slow (takes about 10 seconds to refresh). Sometimes, the icons doesn't refresh at all, and when I click on those programs it actually says the application is missing! When I run it using the Applications Menu, it is also missing! The solution is reboot - after another reboot, the icons will refresh after about 10 seconds and then I can click on the icon and run that application that was reported to be missing previously.

I don't have the above problem when I was on UD1.0, anyone else have this problem? My UD is installed on internal storage.
[Gen8 Android Development] blawoef:
I think I've had that problem with previous versions of UD as well, maybe even also with stock firmware. For me, one applications with which it happened sort of consistently (but now it has not happened for a while, on UD 1.5.1) is Aldiko Reader
[Gen8 Android Development] ray1234:
So you have that problem from day one? what I'm worried is it seemed like a hardware inconsistency, I mean how can a program disappear? is this indication of a problem of the reading of the internal storage (my UD is installed in internal storage)?

There isn't any consistent pattern for me, it can happen to any program... mind you, only those programs with slow icons refresh... is the slow icon refresh an indication of storage corruption already?

Battery reported level

Hi

I just swapped from uruk (1.5) back to the stock for a backup and reverted to uruk.

When I switched my device OFF, battery level was 21%. After booting to stock, level was showing 38%. After rebooting to uruk, I was at 20%. What can cause such a difference in battery reported level?! The voltage reported by battery monitor widget pro was pretty much the same.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Batterie percentages is unfortunately not straight forward.

Therefore the os is monitoring the curve the voltages take, from empty to full and back.

This statistics are used then to determine what the voltage means in %.

This means that the statistis of Uruk and original are different.
[Gen8 Android Development] scholbert:
Same here, different levels reported on Stock and Uruk 1.5.1.

Also got battery fully charged over night, but Uruk starts with ~96% after unplugging from wall charger.

Uuugh, strange thing!

Do you have some more details... where is it stored.

Maybe these files could be interchanged.

Best regards,

scholbert
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
Same here.

The charge stops @88%. When I unplug the charger, it goes for a very short period of time to 100% and drops very quickly to 96-94%. I've tried to look at battery/board sources in the kernel but there is nothing here.

I wonder if it could be in the firmware...
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
I know that on my milestone with FroyoMod there is the possiblity to reset the batterie statistics.

You have to let it run down to below 5% use the menu and then recharge.

[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
In my case there is an unexpected forced reboot.... looks like my a101it isn't capable of being safely OCed with this app (tried kernel OC earlier which wasn't stable either).
[Gen8 Android Development] scholbert:
Hi,

thanks for the answer.

O.K. i knew about this, i thought things were different on Archos.

If it's about deleting batterystats.bin (located in /data/system), there'd been a lot of discussion around.

Maybe i'll give it a try :rolleyes:

Anyway, thanks for the hint.

scholbert
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Yes, alot of discussions.

Especialy after they found the 1% mod for the milestone.

Maybe Sibere or $auron could build this or something similar into the rom, or into UrukConfig.

I've added this to FAQ

Hi $auron - have you got your tab back yet?? I wonder about your plans for the next release of UD... what do you have in mind??
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes - I have my tablet (not exactly my - but other) back :). I've just got back from vacation (two weeks and sunny weather...) and I'll probably push 1.6. I'm not sure what to do next..
[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
it's great to see you back again $auron it has been quite shy around here
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Hello $auron,

I have try this before but isn't working on uruk 1.5 and last kernel 1.6B.

When charge it stops on 95%, after disconet go up to 100%, I delete the file, but by next charge is the same, it stop on 94% and don't go to 100% until disconet the usb cable.
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
I have the same on uruk and original archos firmware, only charge to 88% when i disconnect the cable jump to 100%
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Here is 1.6RC1

This package will also update kernel/initramfs and reboot. It will update apps in /system/app (so if you removed some of them - you may need to do it again). It may show startup configuration wizard - but only to confirm existing configuration.

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.6/UrukDroid-1.6RC1-update.tbz2

After update - device will reboot itself.

ps. So far UrukDroid 1.5 installation package was downloaded 32593 times :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
Thank you!

Is there a changelog for RC1?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This are mainly fixes from 1.5.1, recompiled kernel with newer crosscompiler and latest archos libraries/apks.
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
nice work - ty
[Gen8 Android Development] deliverywong:
thanks auron, installed 1.6RC1, work smooth at my A101, only need to reinstall the 32px for notification bar and reset my wallpaper,
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
Works no problem at this time.

Skype and camera works now fine for videochat.

After update only set the wallpaper new and remove apps.
[Gen8 Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Just installed 1.6RC1. Only glitch was that it lost my Google account so I had to sign in again and synchronize. Other than that it seems to be working well. Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
After the initial shock it is working now, but was tough to get there.

I had my patched MilestoneOverclock installed and the system was running with 1300MHz VSel 80.

The new kernel doesn't like that and the system freezes after the system is started and the Software kicks in.

So while starting i had to stop MS Overclock and deinstall it before it could start.

Maybee you can look into that method.

At least the Module it self is there in Source

http://code.google.com/p/milestone-...?name=milestone-overclock-module-1.4.8.tar.gz

Oh, yes forgot, "Live TV Flash" can't be installed.

Tries directly to install on sd (by itself) and fails somehow.
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Hello,

I have installed and works OK, on my A43, only is the lost of OC and UV, but I install back the beta kernel 1.6.

Best regard,

[Gen8 Android Development] sdho:
I can concur Neo on having to re-setup google account on 1.6RC1. I also noticed 'deep sleep' is no longer functioning....it could be Archos firmware since I didn't compare it against stock Archos firmware.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
I have a problem with SU (probably since 1.51): I'm not able to update any binaries (like busybox or SU, or install new fonts), this always results in message "could not write to /system" or "could not remount system as r/w" and the like.

Root explorer on the other hand is perfectly capable of doing so, so I have no clue why system is not writable for other apps having SU rights.

I deleted and reinstalled SU, but to no avail. I could not find any hints in the log as to why SU grants root to apps and then these are not able to perform their tasks on /system.

EDIT: After fiddling with the su app it worked.

Other than that it looks fine for now. No need to relog with google. I'm going to work with the tablet some time and then give you a feedback on it's performance.

muhaha just tried it with the autoupdate from the stock fw and u know what - it downloads it and then tells me: its NOT for my device ;)

well lets try the manual update...
[Gen8 Android Development] thebaldconvict:
Can anybody confirm 'deep sleep' is working after the update? Would love a working Skype but as my tablet works so well on 1.5 I'm a little hesitant as I do use the deep sleep function......

Cheers all
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
I'm not sure what was the problem before as I didn't use it for a while ... and a simply "not wokring" i found some posts ago wasn't the best option to describe a problem...

But I just did:

1. long press power button -> turn off -> hibernate

2. press power button -> device was instant on

if it tells u anything ;)

running UD1.6RC1 and the new Archos 2.3.65 FW
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Ok, after a few days with UD1.6RC1 I have to say: Works like a charm. I had some unexpected reboots but blame TuneIn Radio for this... great app but has it's issues.

Right now a swap partition is used, seems to be faster than the swap file I used before.
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Yes and the changes sound very promising :

A101 accessory: add support for Archos 3G key A101

accessory: add support for some USB Ethernet adapters (chipsets: RTL8150, ASIX AX88xxx, Davicom DM9601, SMSC LAN75xx, SMSC LAN95xx, NetChip 1080, MosChip MCS7830)

A70 hard drive based devices: fix unit loosing mass storage happening sometimes on recent models Accelerometer: apply calibration right away without requiring a reboot to take effect PTP: fix USB host camera support

The 3gkey and ethernet is supported only in A10, probably do the full size usb connector.

$auron, this can be changed to add support on 7 and 43? Will be nice to have.

Best regards.

Ferenc.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It can be also supported only on A101 because of USB power issue. Anyway this is nothing new (it's system and kernel stuff to support ethernet/3g cards) - but it would be nice if they added support in configuration menus somewhere for this (I guess they had to).

Personally I don't find there any important changes.

About deep sleep - it's working for me (but you have to remember to turn off all network connection before doing it). If someone is afraid doing upgrade - just to backup before - you will be always ready to go back.
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Exactly, the implemented menus for the configuration are interesting. If you use one usb-hub with power is solved on A7 and A43. But if I install it on my A43 the menu are hirded or?

Best regards,

Ferenc
[Gen8 Android Development] thebaldconvict:
So in 1.5 for deep sleep I just press the power button and the led goes off and I presume that's it deep sleeped (its enabled in the settings) now with 1.6 I can still do that but I have to swith off the wireless connection first?

I can live with that, ill just use a widget to do it :) will install it later.....

Many many thanks for 1.5/1.6 and any updates you do to it, it can't be easy :/
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
If those gadgets (usb-ethernet, 3G key) do not require more than about 400mA, they should work with A70 and the usb host patch (included in latest $aur0n's kernels).
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Ok I've took a look at 2.4.65, and there will be some problems. They started to use usb modeswitch tool (witch we have in Uruk for a while now) and changed all connection scripts - this will require some rework on stuff made by nenadr (and he is inactive now for a longer while) :/
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
1.6RC2 is out but the update fail.

After update no modules are loaded, in urukconfig comes only errors.

Wifi, Swap and more dosnt work.

The update.log says only "There is not enough Space" but there is over 400 MB in / and /data free.

The systeminfo says 2.4.65.

I have reinstall 1.5 and update to 1.6RC2 the same errors.

I have reinstall 1.5 and update to 1.6RC1 with no problems.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It was not ready yet - I was testing it.

As far as I can tell - now it should work ;)

Anyway before install please do rootfs backup (from rescuemenu of UrukDroid). You will be able always to get back.

1.6RC2 brings

- 2.4.65 archos fw changes

- updated apps (like su/superuser)

- library linking fixes

- kernel modules update

- upper bar (with buttons) has now 32px height (this was optional in UD 1.5)

We have new kernel modules (because of Ethernet dongle support) - I don't have device to test it. So please, anyone with A101 and proper device please test if it works - if it does, we can work on making it usable for A70 and smaller devices.
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
Thanks now the update works perfect.

After upgrade to RC2 all works, i test it now :D

And thanks for the info with the backup.

edit:

OK one problem i have.

The LCD/HDMI doesnt work for me.

Under Stock Android it work.
[Gen8 Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Bit reluctant to try it because 1.6RC1 is working so well. Prior to this I had tried stock rom, Chulri's rooted rom and previous version of Urukdroid. Each of them rebooted most days. 1.6RC1 has been running for a week now without a single issue. Is this upgrade likely to be as stable as RC1 or is it not possible to tell yet? I can't see any compelling new features which I want.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Do backup and you can try ;)

You don't need to upgrade - if you don't see reason for that :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Piti8576:
Has anyone tested the lcd/hdmi on 1.6RC2?

When i go into settings and activate the lcd/hdmi it jumps back to home, its not going.

Under stock 2.4.65 it works.

I hope its simple to bring it to work on ud.
[Gen8 Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Might try it. Does it restore it exactly as it was? I've tried backups on a few Android phones but they have not always been completely successful. Even a nandroid backup on my HTC Hero didn't work properly.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It will restore everything from rootfs and/or datafs (depends on what you backup first) - the only thing this will not restore is kernel/initramfs (but this has not changed between 1.6RC1 and 1.6RC2)

Hello $auron,

I have updated my A43, what I have seen is:

1-. Battery is recognized OK by charging, when reach the 99% to 100% it starts to blink the LED and change to state charged.

2-. Bad is that I have one freeze by using Dolphin and one self-reboot, I don’t know the reason.

3 – The system freeze by using Bluetooth on by GPS mouse, this was before on fast all firmware but in Uruk 16RC1 was completely solved and it never freeze again, this issue is back again.

4 – USB tether work ok as before.( Correction: some programs don’t recognize the tether connection, the Network-monitor: says none on Network type, but it shows the transfer rate. Skype: doesn’t connect, it says no network connection. imo says no network but connects and works. Dolphin works. But by connecting and disconnecting the tether is more reliable, on the RC1 the issue was that it not disconnected completely always, it was on one state where the tether button was on but something darker ( The icon on upper bar was showing all the time tether is connected) after push to disconnect. It was not possible to connect again, only reboot was helping or I use the terminal for connect by type: tether_start_usb.sh.Thanks for your hard work.

Best regards,

[Gen8 Android Development] ben.cordy:
I've been running RC2 since this morning, in terms of its stability everything is great and the smaller status bar is great especially given that I use Button Saviour! The only thing is I'm getting big problems with deep sleep. When turning off it seems to take about 5 mins to actually enter sleep (led remains on then turns of some time later.) the only issue is if I put the device to sleep and try and resume whilst the led is on (Before it fully enters sleep) it won't resume, power button does nothing. I have to wait for it to finish sleeping then try again. Didn't have this issue in RC1.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

thanks meter 3:

I join the question.

It seems to me that 1.6 rc2 is slower than 1.5 with the ov kernel update
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Yes - you can use 1.6B1/RC1 kernel with RC2 (and overclocked also)

Yes - RC2 has "usb patch"

I don not experience any problems with camera app or deep sleep (like I said - deep sleep won't happend if some network connections are on - sadly Google made their own way to managed power on Linux kernels - despite votes against - and this sometimes may not work with non android apps).

I've experienced HDMI output problems - I had not time to investigate it further.

If you would like to "watch" your system I recommend to use "OS monitor" (it's like top, netstat, ifconfig and few other shell tools with gui ;)).
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Did you have any time to look into the kernelmodule of the Milestone Overclock package?

Since 1.6 the version isn't working probably because of the used offset.
[Gen8 Android Development] Greebble:
I've been testing RC2 two days. This kernel works fine and stable. I discover only one problem: transdroid (remote control for transmission server - www.transdroid.org) crashed every time I launch it. Under 1.5.1 it works fine.
