@sauron:

Unfortunality i found another bug...

At every boot up, urukdroid extract and flash the new rootfs, after it has completed (100%) it sais "Extraction did not complete correctly"

after that urukdroid starts normally as 1.5 ...

Hope you can fix this,

Greets,

Lenn :)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1) Lack of cpu governor conservative is a feature not a bug ;) - I thought nobody use it - i'll add it back again

2) That's strange - you can't connect or you can't add new one - or both? Try to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
I cannot upgrade to 1.5B2..

The error is "Failed to use UrukDroid-1.5B2-upgrade.tbz2" (if not mistaken)

is it because insufficient space in rootfs? my rootfs has only 151MB free space..
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
This should be enough at this stage (123MB is required). How much free space is on your /data (datafs)? There should be also about 130MB free space AFTER putting upgrade file to /data/UrukUpdate folder.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
1) Ahh okey..:)

2) I cant add and connect to networks with the normal settings wifi client..

What do you mean with change?
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
my datafs has enough space, but still cannot upgrade..

now im reinstall uruk1.0 and upgrade to 1.5B2..

while upgrading, this error come out "Extraction not complete succesfully"..

after that it boot 1.5B2 and it seems fine.
[Gen8 Android Development] thedicemaster:
same problem here, annoying because i can't remove the virtual keys now.

EDIT: looks like the /.upgrade folder isn't removed after the update.

manually removing fixes it.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Thanks!

I dont have that idea:D

Now it works:)
[Gen8 Android Development] lamjeff:
I just upgrade to ver 1.5beta2 ... I find the browser will force close directly. ..see whether can fix .... Tks!!
[Gen8 Android Development] ho0o0o11111:
I upgraded to 1.5b2 from 1.0. (Clean install)

No more Wifi problem which I faced in 1.0.

Everything seems fine but just the battery drains a little bit faster than 1.0 (2.1.8), but better than 1.1 (2.3.20). Maybe this is the difference of firmware (2.3.81 vs 2.1.8) , not 1.0 and 1.5.

Really thanks for your good work.

I will try the Bluetooth/tethering function etc later today.

By the way I also faced the case of automatic upgrade everytime I boot my 101. After deleting /.upgrade folder everything is fine.
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Hello,

I have the same sensation, the battery drains faster, but it can be that needs one reset of the battery values, do the new kernel. My battery show charged by 96%.

Other is that it wake up again from sleep after press the Volume button, this was not before. And by press power button short, it takes longer to switch off the led, in 1.0 was immediately off (having airplane-mode enabled).

Best regards,

Ferenc.

Installed 1.5b2 from 1.0 without clean install. Just update.

I noticed I cannot play videos with stock video player.

Error is "unknown error".

That are videos, which can be played before the update.

hello, the new 1.52 version i found a big bug in wifi connecting...

when i deleted the wifi network, and reconnected again, the system asked me the wifi password, when i entered the password, there was no any responce and could not connect the wifi network, why...pls help...
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Does those files have ac3/mpeg2 codecs? I watch movies all the time on 1.5b2 - there are no any problems with that. But during some changes in Archos OS firmware they enable and disable ac3/mpeg2 free support.

[Gen8 Android Development] trungvn1988:
How can you upgrade from 1.0? I upgraded it through force update in urukconfig, but nothing changes? Any idea?
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Maybe your update was running before you hit the force update button...

just try it again, put the file into the urukupdate directory, and just wait 5 minutes...;) your archos will restart and flash the new rootfs:)
[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
update urukdroid

I was thinking about upgrade urukdroid to 1.5 but if I do the upgrade will i loose the Overclock that I have by now (I have OC Kernel from sibere V12) ..
[Gen8 Android Development] trungvn1988:
Thanks Lenn. You are kind as always, but it's seem my Archos won't reboot despite of I copied the update into the UrukUpdate folder. I have a silly question that, is you use (.bz2) file or the file inside this?

Thank you ^^
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
You have to copy thr *.tbz2 into the directory dont extract files out of it.;)

If your archos dont restart do urukdroid 1.0 easy install once, this will give you a fresh install of uruk:) after that you can try it again;)
[Gen8 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
Problem solved after reboot.

Now the correct error is to buy cinema plugin.

I wonder if you can find out the difference in 2.3.26 and 2.3.20 to enable Cinema for everybody for free.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
That would be hard... because we cant "open" the *.aos files...

I am right sauron?
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
open the file one with a prog like winrar,... to see what's inside plz

had this error once and the main update file within the archive was missing even the main bz2 file had the correct size (think some dl error) - update told me no update-file found and instant deleted the file in urukupdate folder

Had to reload - after copying again and click force update all was fine - perhaps this helps u (its the file as u download it - no extraction needed)
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
When upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5b2 I noticed two things:

- at 13% it said "Extraction did not complete correctly", but it continued fine.

- Touch input is not working.

Tablet is broken atm (at least the developer edition), because of missing touch input.

Any ideas?

Edit: It feels like it becomes slower each reboot now.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If it brakes at this level (13%) - your system is certainly not usable.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
For those of you who had "not deleted" upgrade file in /.update, or had (in 1.5.b2) message that "Upgrade did not finish correctly". Please apply upgrade once again (new updated one from server) - it shouldn't change behaviour but there will be output of extraction process in /debug.txt. Please write here it's content.

61d4196b22980309298071912d9bdbbd UrukDroid-1.5B2-upgrade.tbz2

I've checked on my tablet previous upgrades - and they finish correctly so I can't debug it.
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
I'd like to try, but how do I get the touchscreen working? Any idea?
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
You could try to calibrate our touchscreen via the recovery menu;)
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
The recovery doesnt have this option. I could restart from 1.0 if needed. How would I do this?
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Actually, it has:

Menu>>Repair System>>Force Touchscreen Calibration

Then you just have to do easyinstall uruk1.0 once again;):)
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
I am actually trying to reinstall.. EI doesnt work (says files are too big). I tried to reflash SDE, then flash UD 1.0 files and currently its rebooting, but it doesnt look right. I can see the red UD screen, I think it should be the white install menu...

Are you in IRC somewhere? :)
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
It would be better if you would completly wipe your archos via the recovery menu ;)

Then install urukdroid once:)

Nope, but we could post here:)
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
Okay, so far it seems to progess. BTW: The UD documentation and files are really really messed up. For anyone beeing in the same situation:

- I formated everything and flashed SDE from Archos

- I flashed this (AND ONLY THIS WORKED) http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/UrukDroid_1.0-Install.rar

- Re-Install did not work, so I chose Install and wiped my /data

- It seems that I may end up in a working UD 1.0 now

- I ended in 1.0 and installed the market

- I installed the 1.1RC2 Upgrade and the 1.1RC3 Kernel (it crashed after 1.1RC2 update, but restarted fine. Update file stayed in UrukUpdate, i moved it manually)

- Trying the new 1.5b2 Upgrade now (on a nearly blank device)

- Something showed up in the status bar and then the device rebootet. Upgrading rootfs is much faster now. Seems it works on a "clean device". Although it said "Extraction did not suceed" or something like this after 100% was reached :p
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
I know, thats why i created a full Instructions thread with nearly all kind of how tos for the gen8:)

Okey, thats cool:)

Have fun with uruk!

[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
At this time I'm very happy with UrukDroid 1.5 Beta 1 (Very stable on my A101). If you not need to use 3G USB Modem. I recommend this version. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
Same here. It went to 100% but it does the rootfs thing on each boot. /data/UrukUpdate is empty. *??*

Edit: Is it safe to remove /.upgrade/UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz ?

Edit: i got a directory /cache/ and inside is "downloadfile.apk" and the "lost+found" directory (empty). It seems like you got a /cache file (which is empty or a link, i cant tell for sure with winrar) in that tar.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Thank's - this should let me fix the upgrade issue :)
[Gen8 Android Development] LeoNg628:
Hi Auron,

I've been upgrade to 1.5b2 from 1.1rc1, there are some problem after upgrade.

I've using Arctools 0.50 to install Android Market 3.0.27, but I got FC after login to google.

(I've fixed it by install a Market apk from my own)

I've downloaded Youtube from Market, but I only can search video but not to play...

Thanks!

Leo
[Gen8 Android Development] jackson0829:
My A101 upgrade to 1.5b2 got same problem of Youtube (version2.16) take more than 30 seconds still can not playback the video ?? As I remember that previous Youtube in UD 1.0 version took only 10~15 seconds then can playback the video!!

Besides, after upgrade to 1.5b2 that SetCPU still cannot OC to 1.2GHz,any

update necessary again?
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
1. Maybe safe. If you dont delete it, the upgrade will be applied on each reboot. Modification on rootfs will gone.

2. If i'm not mistaken, that directory is used by Market. Nothing to do with the upgrade.
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
1. I have moved it and rebooted. Seems fine.

UD 1.5 seems pretty stable so far. Will check the YouTube issue later, seems I got it, too. Further: How do you change WiFi energy modes? Whenever the screen goes black, the WiFi is turned off. I don't like that, I prefer to have it on all the time, but I must be blind - I can't find the setting.

Edit: I do not have YouTube issues on my A70IT. I use YouTube version 2.1.6
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
1.5B3

- fixed (hope so) upgrade problem with "looped" upgrade process

- added some old/new cpu governor modules (some of them now works as modules - so you need to enable them in /etc/uruk.conf/cpugovernor file)

- some fixes in ssh/scp support

- restored cgroups support

- some people claims that 3G tethering is working...

AlternativeOS

Hi,

Anyone can tell me how i can boot AlternativeOS in Boot Menu?

Which files does the script expect in the mounted dir? rootfs.img?

And do i need to symlink those? as there is propably no enought space for a 3,5GB debian img file within /AlternativeOS

greetings

[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
I put UrukDroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2 in /data/UrukUpdate folder, but failed to update, UrukConfig displayed message "Fail to use data/UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz" (if i'm not mistaken)

So I upgrade it manually,

0. Extract UrukDroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2

1. Flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz through SDE

2. Enter USB MMC and copy UrukConfig.apk to /data/app and bootanimation.zip to /data/customization

3. Create .upgrade folder in / and put UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz in it.

4. Reboot and the upgrade will start.

The upgrade went 100%, and UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz is automatically deleted after upgrade. No more upgrade loop :)

[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
You can't use symlinks, chrooted environment has to be mount point - it's quite simple. Some information you can find here: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/RM_AlternativeOS

For all other - you can ask ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Are you sure you don't have some free storage space issues on /data partition? After you put file to /data/UrukUpdate you still need about 130MB free space on /data/
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I don't even have "stock browser" (Browser.apk moved from /system/app to /system/app.old). Anyway please check if it's not working with Miren or Dolhpin HD (they use the same renderer) and/or Opera (witch I think is the best Android browser so far).

I'll check stock browser ....

I have installed 1.5B1 but my archos went slow, it wasn't a clean update, but it worked, then I have tryed to upgrade from 1.5B1 to 1.5B3 but it failed ... I will try to update to 1.5B2 and see how does it work ...

Edit: I see that there is a manual way to update

0. Extract UrukDroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2

1. Flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz through SDE

2. Enter USB MMC and copy UrukConfig.apk to /data/app and bootanimation.zip to /data/customization

3. Create .upgrade folder in / and put UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz in it.

4. Reboot and the upgrade will start.

but how can I access to /data/app, /data/customization and /
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
How it failed?
[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
It started to run (or at least urukconfig says that its an upgrade working), but do nothing $auron, the update erases it self but nothing, no self reboot, and I don't know how to upgrade manually (to access the necesary folders)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
You could check in /var/lib/urukdroid/ fail.log and update.log
[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
... ok let me see

there were 2 reports from the attemps to upgrade ....

In fail.log

/data/UrukUpdate/parted-static failed: Package description missing

/data/UrukUpdate/Urukdroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2 failed: Wrong signature

In update.log:

it says that the file were corrupted

... I were thinking that the filed were incomplete after downloaded it, but I download the upgrade 3 times usin firefox, IE8, and in another computer, but the same results
[Gen8 Android Development] ringogelso:
same problem.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I guess you have not enough free space on /data partition (upgrade requires about 250MB - 125 for upgrade package and another 125MB to extract it...)
[Gen8 Android Development] ringogelso:
I have about 557 mb free, the upgrade procedure runs without errors but in the end, nothing happens. Stay 1.5b2
[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
.... that's not the problem I have 372MB free on /data, but I will try to download it again, just to get sure

Same problem.

The update from b2 to b3 works only manually.

[Gen8 Android Development] rplc790222:
manual update

By the way how can I do manual update, because I can't access to the necesary folders (/, /data, etc..) to do the manual update
[Gen8 Android Development] FrEcP:
Y - already found this (and liked in the OS-Thread) - still dont get wich files are expected (and image or an extracted image?) as u mount the dir i think it has to be extracted - am I right?

Nor I get how the script works exactly - as in 1.5B2 u had 2 subfolders (meego and debian) in /AlternativeOS - but the scripts (meego.boot and debian.boot) looked exactly the same and were not linking to the subfolder but just to /AlternativeOS - did i miss something? (btw already pmed u about it ;) )

Anyway how can we boot a "file" (img) >1,5BG then (debian img I found for example is 3,5GB) and that doesnt fit in /AlternativeOS/...
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
File image on ext4 can be bigger then 2GB (opposite to fat). Anyway in bootup script you have to mount the device with OS or file with OS. You can do it under /AlternativeOS (it's NOT a path on rootfs - it's a path in initrd ram disk). Then you have to just chroot to it with calling proper init binary - that's it.

ps. I know you've PM me - but it's more likely I'll answer here then on PM :)
[Gen8 Android Development] alex2308:
Sauron: You could log the output of "df -h" ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I can't - since with 1.5 I had to remove all other works and secondly - you wouldn't see anything.

Now in Uruk rootfs is mounted (on initrd level) under /new-root directory - when you do "df" - you won't see that.

The basic "idea" is to

- mount root file system of any OS debian/android/meego (all are Linux based OSes) somewhere - for example /AlternativeOS (but it can be anything that exists on initrd filesystem)

- switch to new mounted root filesystem starting init process

I can't make it simpler...

I'm not that into linux yet as i just use it here and now (since 10 years - once a year I try new distos and switch b to win since i need some special programs - lol) so still I'm sometimes a bit confused.

Anyway - u remeber the other question about meego ;) would be nice if u could name a source so i can include it in the OS-Thread.

I had upgraded UrukDroid 1.5B3 from UrukDroid 1.0 by using UrukConfig.

The upgrade process done successully but I have found the same problem like you. The default browser force close.

I had moved browser.apk to /system/app.old but still problem. :confused:

Fixed: by using Notion Ink Adam Browser.apk apps for Galaxy Tab.
[Gen8 Android Development] Poussun:
I tried the upgrade from 1.0 to 1.5b3... but it failed.

At initial boot, I have 'extraction did not complete correctly', and after boot completion, touchscreen is not responding.

How could I solve this issue ?

Update : all solutions aren't successful :(

Resintall urukdroid 1.0, fresh install urukdroid 1.0, reflash kernel... the system looks broken. Many Android system errors (media process, market non working, soft buttons hidden all the time, applications crash...) when urukdroid up.

I'm going to reinstall everything from scratch...

Update2 : everything reinstalled... and no major issue. Except the Wifi configuration with the Android manager.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
No problem;)

First try this:

Go to the recovery system >> repair device >> force touchscreen calibration

If the touchscreen response after this, you have to delete the folder .update from root (with a root explorer;))

If that dont worked just reinstall urukdroid 1.0 and select at easy install that you want to format the device..

After that do the update again, but be sure that you have downloaded the beta3 file!

(Your described bug with the "extraction dont complete" is a bug from beta2)

I had done by these step.

1. Backup all apps & data to SD Card or PC/Notebook

2. Reboot into Archose A101IT - Boot Menu

3. Select --> Recovery System -> Format System -> Reformat Device...

4. Flash Official Archos ROM 2.3.81

5. Install UrukDroid 1.0 (Advance Mode / Internal Memory)

6. Upgrade to UrukDroid 1.5 Beta 3 (upload file UrukDroid-1.5B3-upgrade.tbz2 into /data/UrukUpdate folder

7. Open UrukConfig app --> Force Update

8. Done.

Only one problem that I've found is the stock browser can not open it force close all time.
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
@Lenn

Do you have problem with Stock Browser force close? if not, could you please upload Browser.apk because I had loss this file. :D

[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
I dont use b3 at the moment, and i use dolphin:) try it, its really great browser;)

You can extract the browser apk out of a urukdroid installation (not upgrade!) file, inside the file there should be a directory named system, inside there should be the normal apps;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Poussun:
I tried multiple solutions to solve the upgrade issues (reinstall urukudroid 1.0, fresh installation urukdroid...)

But the system looks broken... many Android processes errors (media, soft buttons hiden all the time, market non working anymore...) when Urukdroid is up.

I'm going to reinstall everything from scratch :(
