What do you mean "serious crash" - not booting, hanging, restarting? What services you have enabled?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I've updated update ;) (sounds weird) - it has DVBT fixes (Kashban please check how it works for you now - for me it's ok), services fixes/changes. Reverted back do original wifi firmware (since people claim it enable wifi geolocalization). This update has all previous changes either.

Services: to start/stop/status them even if disabled, please use force (that's for application manager) so:

/etc/uruk.d/compcache start force

Services that work in new way: sshd, samba, compcache, swap (force, UIstatus etc).

AdHoc: I've spend quite a lot of time on trying to used patched wpa_supplicant, to enable adhoc - I gave up for now. Archos has done something weird. Source they gave are for 0.5, but on our devices 0.6 is running. It has tiwlan0 driver, witch does not exist in original source distribution (Archos either). I've compiled it on every possible way - until new informations come out - pass.

Sleeping: I'm also kind of fed up with trying to find a way to forbid device go sleep. It can be done from java level - I use even quicksshd for it ;) (just to prevent archos going sleep - since there is already sshd service). Haven't find way to do this on system level - and it's really required to use SSH or Samba. Please if you can find any solution (some dalvik app even...)

I mean hanging and HD scream when occurred, have not enabled or disabled any services all stay as installed.

I've made some changes with mount_sdcard.sh and vold.fstab - but don't remember if it's in today or previous release... You can try to disable mount_sdcard.sh in /init.rc (hash it, with oneshot below) and check what are symlinks in /system/etc/vold*
[Gen8 Android Development] solune:
Can't download the update (just have a 0 kb file), maybe you don't have finish your upload ?

By the way, start force is perfect, thanks !
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
It's kind of autosync - but DropBox got crazy for a while - it should be now downloadable.
[Gen8 Android Development] xenicle:
mount_sdcard.sh comment did not solve the problem...

Here is symlinks :

# ls -l /system/etc/vold*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1809 Dec 15 02:42 /system/etc/vold.A70H.fstab
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jan 20 16:28 /system/etc/vold.fstab -> /system/etc/vold.fstab-stock

EDIT : Have changed vold.fstab symlink to vold.A70H.fstab : still hang...
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
No change at all, sorry. DVB driver is not loaded as it seems, dmesg log is exactly the same as before. Not sure what is going on there. Any more information I could probably dig out of my Archos?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Are you sure you've downloaded new update?

(md5sum) e48e4ac7f20641b5318e2936e1978f0f UrukDroid-rootfs-update.tgz (13731704 bytes)

I've changed dvb-usb and dvb-core and this changes made a difference for me with my dvbt I've borrowed today. Previous modules did not recognize usb dongle - now is like I quoted few mails ago - working...
[Gen8 Android Development] solune:
Hello,

If I try /system/etc/uruk.d/samba UIstatus I have "Uruk-Samba: This module is disabled in /etc/uruk.conf/samba"I expected "off", because if I can start force, then it can run even if disabled in conf.

Same with 3 others services where UIstatus available.

If you're ok to update ?
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
I used this version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1017593/ArchosGEN8/UrukDroid-0.5/UrukDroid-rootfs-update.tgz

But I got an error somewhere that exactly dvb-usb and dvb-core couldn't be copied (sh setup, I guess). Do I need this anyway? I followed the steps on chulris wiki page.

Probably I just update again and skip the sh setup part?
[Gen8 Android Development] jsperri:
I have updated ArcTools so it can now dynamically configure any service in /etc/uruk.conf (any file there will create a button named after the filename, with a limit of 12 buttons max). There is no reporting of service status thru UIstatus yet, but when starting up, ArcTools sets the service button according to the service_enabled value.

ArcTools download here:

arctablet.com/blog/archos-tablet/arctools-google-apps-and-market-installer-for-archos-gen8-youtube-fixed/

Or ArcTools download on Appslib.

And finally, I am trying to maintain a mirror for Urukdroid here:

arctablet.com/assets/firmware/Gen8/UrukDroid/

Keep up the good work.
[Gen8 Android Development] xenicle:
I've got DSPmanager APK but it need modified libaudioflinger.so.

I don't want to wast your time, but $auron can you compile this from CyanogenMod / android_frameworks_base (if it's possible and applicable to urukdroid)

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Grmbl... forgot to take the dvb-T-stick with me... so I'm not able to test until I return home.

Anyway, tried reflashing and rootfs update again and still the usb driver isn't recognizing any dvb device.

UrukDroid 0.5 (linked in this thread).

Addendum: Tried a modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700.ko and it says "fatal: Module dvb_usb_dib0700.ko not found". "_" instead of "-"... is that a problem?

loadmod states it is already loaded. I'm confused: Is the usb stick supposed to be attached when running modprobe?

Ad2: Bluetooth isn't working at all, device freezes if activated.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
That's kind of script build problem - but just use force all the time...

/system/etc/uruk.d/samba UIstatus force

It should be done better, but I though it will be easier for people to edit config file to enable/disable service at boot time - then create symlink in /etc/init.d/ (witch is kind of natural for UN*X)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
What are your steps exactly? You should put update, reboot - if update is applied file will be deleted (and update boot screen will appear).

Just edit /etc/uruk.conf/dvb for your driver and restart service (stop/start) or reboot archos. This should be all. Now use w_scan or tzap like in Chruli thread. I've made my card working today (dumped video stream) LiveTV failes to work. But I have some /dev issues - so maybe there is a problem - for me devices are created in /dev/dvb0...

crw------- 1 root root 212, 0 Jan 21 09:36 /dev/dvb0.demux0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 1 Jan 21 09:36 /dev/dvb0.dvr0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 3 Jan 21 09:36 /dev/dvb0.frontend0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 2 Jan 21 09:36 /dev/dvb0.net0

edit2: I've just made streaming over wifi from tablet to Linux on PC - so it works definitely ;)

On Linux seeing tablet, over network (WiFI probably) put

nc -l -p 5555 | mplayer -cache 10240 -

On tablet start tzap and

cat /dev/dvb0.dvr0| nc 192.168.200.1 5555

It requires netcat (nc) - I'll put it in 0.5 and first update...
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Thanks, will try that as soon as I'm home.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tsusai:
Can you explain the 0.5 / 0.6 thing? I don't understand what "0.5" or "0.6" stands for that you are referencing here.
[Gen8 Android Development] solune:
Hello,

Here come the 0.2 of urukconf :)

I have added few GUI improvements ;), and check of current state of services.

Problem is that checking each service is a little slow, if you can try and tell me your feeling about that ?

Another way would be to write in a file when a service is started, and write another think when it is stopped, dunno if it is a good idea/realisable or not ?

Thanks for feed back :)

flash zimage + initramfs using SDE. it is a special initramfs and you won't have to reinstall everything.

guys there is something strange with my 101 , i just can't use any overclocked kernel , my device wont boot up always freezes on the Urukdroid logo :S
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
Maybe your CPU doesn't like being overclocked :/
[Gen8 Android Development] LeoNg628:
you are awesome! sibere!

Cheers!;)
[Gen8 Android Development] wokker666:
I wonder....

Seems as if I have a A101 that will not overclock no matter what I do....

Tried every flavor of kernel out there - my machine boots to launcher, then freezes.

How many of you A101 owners are experiencing the same issue?
[Gen8 Android Development] vantoman:
i just posted the same issue ; i just don't know whats wrong with it , wont get overclocked
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
V12 is slightly overvolted for 1200MHz. If it's freezing, I'd say that your CPU is not good enough to accept this overclock.

Did you try kernels with overclocks to 1.1GHz ?
[Gen8 Android Development] vantoman:
i've tested many kernel but i guess all of the kernels was overclocked to 1200 , i don't know where 1100 kernels are , can you post a link or something please?!
[Gen8 Android Development] wokker666:
My system will not even get past 3 seconds into the launcher at best, worst was on Uruk 0.7 OC, after loading the kernel upon reboot, the system froze on the first loading screen.

Heh, maybe we got the throwaway cpu's - or the kernels don't agree with the hardware.
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
Can't reproduce here (A70S) but I've built "blind" a 1.1Ghz kernel.

It's all undervolted except 1.1GHz at stock 1.35v

It's gzipped so ungzip it (winrar will do the job) and flash it with the V12/V13 initramfs using SDE.

For info, I have tried to undervolt a bit more than V13 and started to get random reboots when my tab was sleeping. If it happens to you, let me know and flash back V12 which is not undervolted.
[Gen8 Android Development] evilantal:
Question: Can I freely use a newer version of UrukConfig.apk (for instance, v1.1.1) with UrukDroid 1.0 or can these only be used with UrukDroid 1.1RC?

The newer Config apk's have many more handy features for setting compcache and mediascanner....
[Gen8 Android Development] wokker666:
Yes you can, I'm running UrukConfig 1.1 on Uruk 1.0, works just fine:D
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Me too,its not a problem!;):)
[Gen8 Android Development] steven20052009:

[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
UrukDroid 1.1RC2

1.1RC2 with 2.3.81 changes, some kernel module changes (will see if it still do "soft reboot")

If anyone knows sure method to trigger "soft reboot" - please let me know...

First update kernel (/data/UrukUpdate)

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.1/UrukDroid-1.1RC2-kernel.tbz2

Then update file

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.1/UrukDroid-1.1RC2-update-rc.tbz2

With some new changes in rescue menu I've added software way to disable SDCard Uruk boot: You can dissable boot from SDCard by naming any of it's partition "noboot" ('root@urukdroid:/root# e2label /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 noboot')

It's usefull if you have Uruk on both sdcard and internal, and you don't want to remove card every time you want to boot internal (I use sdcard as live backup only now)
[Gen8 Android Development] cajl:
thanks

i donwload !
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
I've install RC2 and still got the same issue as RC1..

Here's how to reproduce the soft reboot in my a70.

1. Connect to wireless

2. Press power button and let the device sleep for about 1 minute

3. Press again the power button

4. After the device reconnect to the wireless, pull down the notification bar, it will not come out. Everything gone crazy after that and it will soft reboot.

To avoid soft reboot, i need to disable wireless before sleep..
[Gen8 Android Development] andre.mud:
Hello,

I'm still running version 1.0

Can i install the new kernel over 1.0 or do I have to update to RC1 versions first?

With regards
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
You can do this with some "battery saver" apps;)

These apps will,if you set them right, disable wifi before sleep:) try it;)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Could you please try to change wpa_supplicant and see if "soft reboots" stil exist?

su
cd /system/bin
cp -rp wpa_supplicant-stock wpa_supplicant

Btw. here is latest kernel (1.1RC3) with latest 2.3.38 changes

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.1/UrukDroid-1.1RC3-kernel.tbz2
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
i've change the wpa supplicant, still the same..

hang and soft reboot after reconnect to wireless from sleep..
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Ok so I guess I can only get rid of this problem by veryfing every part of system or doing it from scratch - so ... i'll do it from scratch ;) (faster)... so be patient - lots of testing will be required :D

ps. I still can't trigger "soft reboots" on demand - hibernation with wifi on does not end with SR on my device.
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
good luck sauron!

may the force be with you :D
[Gen8 Android Development] vantoman:
Thank you $aur0n , i didn't get any soft reboots all day long , i've tried everything which gave me soft reboots before but i did't get any :)
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Uruk 1.5

Ok I've spend entire yesterday on "rewriting" (or better re developing - whatever) Uruk from scratch. It's looks and works ok - no soft reboot so far and wifi is now turning on/off properly (although there was a situation when after boot I was unable to turn it on at all.. reboot fixed issue - I guess there could be something with timing etc.). All binaries updated, lot's of cleanups etc.

I'll polish it today but it looks like everything except dvb and 3g works (I can't test those two since my usb is toasted - but i'll try to do it anyway).

btw. I've bumped version to 1.5 since I thought it may be confusing to release completely rewriten Uruk as 1.1.
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Thank you $aur0n, I'm waiting for UrukDroid 1.5

UrukDroid 1.1 RC 3 still problem with WiFi Connect & Self Reboot on my Archos 101.

But Self Reboot not meny time. (better than UrukDroid 1.1 RC 1)

I had tried to prevent UrukDroid 1.1 RC 3 Seft Reboot by these method

1. I have use "Wifi Fixer" app and Setting Wifi Sleep Policy -> When Screen is Off.

2. About device --> Power management --> Disable Deep Sleep

But still problem wiht Self Reboot (random).

Early Uruk 1.5beta1

Here is early 1.5 (beta1) - please don't use it if you are not confident in your skills (reverting back to 1.1/1.0 is possible - but annoying).

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.5/UrukDroid-1.5B1-upgrade.tbz2

It will work as an upgrade of Uruk 1.0, but it's recommended to do it on 1.1 (because you can do full backup in RescueMenu).

Please copy upgrade file to /data/UrukUpdate and read messages (Uruk 1.1) - device should reboot itself.

It should upgrade like every Uruk but it's NOT tested (upgrade process) so I advice to do rootfs backup (Uruk 1.1 ResceuMenu). Kernel from 1.5 WON'T work with any previous release - so after upgrade it won't be able to boot 1.1.

This release has probably not working dvb/3g support - but it may work (simply not tested) - it's quite important for me to report what else is missing.

If you want revert back to 1.1 you should flash (from Archos BootMenu) 1.1 kernel/initramfs (http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.1/) and do rootfs restore from Uruk RescuMenu.

That's probably it :) Good Luck

btw. If you had Uruk market installed, after upgrade it will be gone (there will be icons left) - I recommend to use Arctool to install market (it has newer one and with it's certificates there is no wifi location problem).
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
i've upgrade to 1.5..

everything seems fine, smooth and fast..

no soft reboot when sleep with wifi..

i love it! :)

going to test it for a few more days..

thanks sauron!
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Dear $aur0n,

Thank you very much again for UrukDroid 1.5 Beta 1

I had just upgraded UrukDroid from 1.0 to 1.1 RC 3 this afternoon.

I will try upgrade to 1.5 Bata 1 and I will report the result to you again.

Best Regards

[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
@sauron

hey buddy - anyway i can do a full fresh install of 1.5b - if so I will test the dvb for us ! (my 1.0 is toast :( )
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Dear $aur0n

I have finish upgrade to UrukDroid 1.5 Beta 1.

- No problem with Wifi

- No Self Reboot

But every time that I have shutdown/reboot my device, after power on It will display this message "UrukDroid 1.5A1 Boot: Upgrading rootfs.. (19% done)" :confused:

Please kindly suggest.

Best Regards

Jakkrith
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Probably upgrades does not finish - because of lack of free space on disk - and that's why upgrade package is not erased (package from /.update directory).

I suggest to make some free space on rootfs - if you have swap file memory - erase swap file and let upgrade finish.
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
Dear $aur0n

Thank you very much for kindly suggestion. I had used app "Root Explorer" to manual deleted file "UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz" from /.update directory already.

Best Regards.

Jakkrith
[Gen8 Android Development] pean74:
I have the same problem with roots being updated on each reboot. It completes the update everytime but still another update on reboot.

Regards

Accolon
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
You can fix this problem by use app "Root Explorer" and manual delete file "UrukDroid-rootfs-upgrade.tgz" from /.update directory

At this time I'm very happy with UrukDroid 1.5A1 (no wifi problem and never self reboot after wake up from deep sleep) :D
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Although this is true - it would be nice if anyone of you find out why this file is not deleted. Does upgrade progress bar goes to 100%? Did you checked my free space suggestion?

Btw. I recommend to use "File Expert" instead of Root explorer - it's free file manager with "root" capabilities (it's kind of default file manager for Uruk since "unreleased" ;) 1.1)
[Gen8 Android Development] pean74:
I did go to 100 %. How do I free rootfs memory?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
If you still have upgrade file in /.urukupdate, check your free space in terminal (df -h). You can post results here...
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
- The upgrade progress bar goes to 100% every time that device reboot.

- I had never enable Swap or CompCache (Since I had formated my device and re-installed UrukDroid 1.0)

- I don't know how to check rootfs memory free too. :p
[Gen8 Android Development] akmalhisyam:
Yeah..

My 1.5 also reinstall each reboot at first..

I remove the entire /.upgrade folder..

I think my rootfs is not full..

dont know why the upgrade file is not erased..
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
@$auron:

Will this work with the multiboot kernel?
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
I don't know - I don't use it (you have AltOS in Uruk) - but I would guess it won't (there are gfx changes that required newest egl and other stuff).
[Gen8 Android Development] jakkrith:
I think rootfs is full... since the upgrade progress bar goes to 100%

after deleted file in ./upgrade folder my A101 work fine in root environment.

I can manage system files

/etc/hosts

/system/lib/libwebcore.so

/system/fonts

/data/local.prob

/system/board_properties

at this time wifi work fine (no need another app to help connect), sinc I had upgraded UrukDroid 1.5A1 my device never self reboot even if only once. :D
[Gen8 Android Development] fly_us:
1.5 works very well, except for 3G USB.. Everytime i try to tether with my Huawei E1550, the Uruk reboot itself..
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Probably because not all kernel modules are recompiled - like I said, it was most likely to be not working.
[Gen8 Android Development] $aur0n:
Hi, probably not until some RC...
[Gen8 Android Development] todobarato:
Hello,

I can report the same issue in my A43, by choose the USB tethering it reboots.

I have written one post in the nenadr post about 3G. Maybe someone can help, the 3Gmodem_detect.sh doesn’t detect my dongle and doesn’t change the USB ID to the correct one. The same dongle was detected correctly in one linux PC and works.

All other works perfectly, update was do without any issue, it has reboot after do it and boot up again normally, so far all works and no random reboots.

Best regards,

UrukDroid 1.5B2

Hi,

Uruk 1.5 beta 2

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.5/UrukDroid-1.5B2-upgrade.tbz2

130MB f5fc62f433324f3baf51e000f4b187e2 UrukDroid-1.5B2-upgrade.tbz2

Upgrade (so will erase probably some settings - just like before)

- recompiled all modules (missing in beta1) for 3g/ethernet tethering and dvb drivers (but I will abandon all non standard dvb cards - too much work )

- added (again) adhoc wifi support

- moved libc to 2.13 (and all binaries)

- configuration and services fixes, changes etc - fixed cifs modules loading

I've added message during upgrade process if it fails (so perhaps we will know why it failed to erase file on your devices - read messages during process)
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Thanks Sauron for this cool release!:)

I`ve skipped Beta 1, i upgraded from 1.0 ;)

I have 2 bugs:

1) The Cpu governor "Conservative" is gone..

2) I cant connect to my WPA/PSK 2 network with the normal settings i have to use this wifi manager : http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-manager/org.kman.WifiManager
