[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not-- but UrukDroid does not seem to listen when I turn WiFi off. If I turn off WiFi and then hit the power button to turn the screen off, when I come back a few hours later WiFi is back on.
[Gen8 General] thedicemaster:
Lord Bodak: most likely your wifi isn't turned off at all.

next time you turn off wifi wait a bit and look at what it says in the wireless and networks screen.

it will probably say "error" instead of "disabled"

the only workaround i know right now is using airplane mode to disable wifi.

EDIT:

my wifi problems seem to be much worse than i thought before.

i am now completely unable to add any new networks, i get the add network screen and then when i hit "ok" it just closes and nothing happens.

quite a problem, because i just removed my only registered network.

iptables

Hi,

I was using UrukDroid 1.0, but I wanted to see the latest firmware so I switched to Chulri's method for root access. I am trying to get iptables up and running, but everytime I enable NETFILTER IPTABLES in the linux 2.6.29-omap1 kernel I end up with bootloops (if I have wifi on before reboot) or with instant reboot and bootloops if I switch wifi on after booting my new kernel.

Since UrukDroid always gave me nice iptables support, I would really love to see how you did it? Could I see the UrukDroid's linux.config or is there more involved (upgraded iptables or stuff?).

Thanks!

Currently running 2.3.81+rw on A70Sit

Try wififixer in market...

I've had the same problem. After use Wififixer everything works fine now....

Try it and let me know
[Gen8 General] thedicemaster:
still not working after wififixer, but it looks like sauron knows about the problem.

the pre-installed app wifi manager can still add a new wifi connection even if the settings screen can't.
[Gen8 General] steven20052009:
uninstall Wifi Manager.....

:)

I forgot to tell you. You have to uninstall Wifi Manager which come with UD. Use only Wifi Fixer.

I've been using this 2 months so far. :)
[Gen8 General] cub69:
Hi - I have a A101IT. I was running UrukDroid 1.0 fine for months.

I applied the update to 1.5 as per the instructions and it seemed to work just fine.

The issue is with the tablet going to sleep and not waking up properly.

If the tablet screen turns off via timer or by pressing the power button the screen won't come back when you press the button again. The green light is on indicating to me that the device is partially up but the screen stays black.

If I want (several minutes) for the green light to go out, the tablet wakes up properly again when I press the button. What could be causing this to happen?? I checked the display timeout - even tried changing it, but no change to the problem. Its currently set to 30 seconds but the green light won't turn out for several minutes. The screen brightness is set to 100%.

Thanks

[Gen8 General] guoloong:
I'm facing the same issue on my A101 too after updating to v1.5. It doesn't happen all the time (about 90% of the time).
[Gen8 General] cub69:
Hmmm funny - a few reboots later and the problem seems to have gone away.
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
I don't have enough room in /data for the upgrade file. I guess I can move some apps to SD, but is there any way to make UrukDroid look elsewhere for the update?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
You can - but it will have to still put at least one copy of it to /data (during update/upgrade you need twice much space as update/upgrade package on /data/)

If you have only 1times free space on /data you can call upgrade manually. Put package on sdcard and:

su
/system/xbin/uruk_upd /sdcard/nameofupgradepackage

If you have no even 1time free space on /data - you have to symlink /data/.tmp to some other ext3/ext4 partition with free space (it can't be fat) and do above. Don't do it on rootfs (unless there is a lot of free space - twice time upgrade package size at least).

--

You can also use EasyInstall with reinstall option. This will overwrite only rootfs partition with new system.
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
I freed up some space and did the upgrade. However, /data got full at some point during the process. Everything seems to be working fine, but how do I know if it really did complete fully?

After the install UrukConfig didn't show up in my app drawer, and in order to install the new one, I had to uninstall the old one (even though I couldn't see it). Other than that I've had no issues.

Should I do an EasyInstall with reinstall option to be safe? Would that lose any of my other data/settings/etc?
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
UrukConfig does say 1.5, so I imagine everything is fine. However, I haven't messed with UrukDroid services or vpn/nfs, so I might do the EasyInstall just to be safe.
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
Time for my next dumb question-- since I'm reinstalling things anyway, I'm going to go ahead and switch to an internal install. Once UrukDroid is installed internally, can I still safely boot into the stock firmware and update it, or will that harm the internal UD installation?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Yes you can - this are separate beings.

deep sleep by 300 MHz

Hi I have a A101.

I applied the update from 1.0 to 1.5 After the update it works fine but when the tablet going to sleep its not waking up properly. This problem comes when the cpu speed is down to 300 MHz. I tryed to set the default cpu speed to 600 MHz with overclock widget from Market. But sometimes its dont work with this setting and the Archos goes to deep sleep.

Sorry for my terrible English :(

Bluetooth not working correctly

A70S UrukDroid : 1.5.1 no OC

Uruk doesn't recognise Plantronics Backbeat 903+ headset.

This is a device that works without a pwd.

Works in orginal 2.4.19.
[Gen8 General] ddukki:
Sorry to ask such an inane question, but is there a reason UrukDroid stops the Market from recognizing the device? It just states that it's a generic "Phone" as opposed to previously when it stated it as "Archos 43".
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Yes - it's changed so it will be able to download more apps from market.
[Gen8 General] ddukki:
It's actually preventing me from downloading Facebook. Not that it's such a big issue, as I can download the APK from elsewhere, but now I'm not sure when apps are being blocked or not. Unless ... I'm reading your reply wrong and it's fixed in the new version.

Thanks much!
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Fingerprint of tablet has changed in Uruk since 0.7 (as I remember right) to Samsung G. Tab. It's because Archos has no native Market support and was recognized as generic device. With this change more apps is recognized as compatible - but like you have seen - not all of them ;)

So there is no planed "fix" for this ;)
[Gen8 General] wickedninjalo:
Ok so I'm on the latest uruk release and I have to say this is freakin sweet. I'm having one problem I'm getting random reboots and I have no idea why. The tablet will go unresponsive then it will reboot. And I'm not doing anything inparticular that clicks in my head as to why I'm on the a70h model and I wiped everything upon install

With the OC Kernel i can connect to my Plantronic 903+ headset!

Must have been a bad day when it wasn't working.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Perhaps you have used new kernel (1.6)....
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Nope.

When it wasn't working i used your normal 1.5.1 and it couldn't connect .

I then removed it and tried to pair it again, but the tablet didn't even see/recognise the headset.

Rebooted couple of times and gave up.

After installing siberes OC kernel ( based on Uruk ) it is now working.

After 25 years as a dev i just accept that its working now.

Can you tell me how large the Internal Storage is meant to be? I though it it was meant to be 1gb whereas mine is 799mb. I did wonder if I hadn't left quite enough space on my /mnt/storage partition but the documentation says that resizing would fail if that was the case.

Why does uruk droid 1.5 lose rw privileges when i drop updates into the update folder? It does want to update even when i try and force it. The whole rom loses root for whatever reason. Im new to the gen8 and it just seems like everything i try isnt working.

Uruk can not loose RW right.

Are you sure that you bootet into Uruk and not the stock rom?

Uninstall Urukdroid

Hello!

I'am searching a hour without result. How can I reset my Archos 101? I want to deinstall UrukDroid and SDE to sell my Archos (I know it is watermarked). Does I only have to go in the developer Edition Menu and select Uninstall Developer Edition? Or is there more? I installed Urukdroid on a 8 GB SDHC card.

Thanks for help.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Yes, that's enough to get rid of the SDE.

You should also format the Device and install the last FW plus the preinstalled files.

Don't forget to remove the sd.

Ja, das reicht um die SDE loszuwerden.

Ein Format des internen Speichers, + installation sowohl der letzten FW und der vorinstallierten SW solltest du auch noch machen.

Und natürlich die SD entfernen.
[Gen8 General] kiemthu123:
You can boot into recovery menu, select format device, format storage and android, then format device. Ur device will be clear, then u can download and install the latest fw on archos.com

Need help!

Hi there!

I was running Urukdroid 1.0 for a couple of months and everything was fine... Today, I tried to update to 1.5 and I've been stuck in a bootloop... Tried to reinstall 1.0, same thing...

I deleted the SDE, Reinstall it and try to reinstall 1.0 as I did the first time, but I'm always stuck on the Archos splashscreen when I try to boot so it's impossible to continue the installation after the flash of the zimage and initframs.

Is there something I can do??

Hi all,

Running UD 1.6 RC2 and having random reboots... probably related to wifi because if I disable wifi I don't have any reboots anymore

can this be kernel related?

Cheers

[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
What kind of reboots? If it would be kernel - it would be full reboot, if it's something android UI/dalvik relate - it's going to be only "soft reboot". Without some debug/logs - I can't help.
[Gen8 General] berre:
How can I tell the difference? It looks like a full reboot.. screen goes black and after a while I get the UD startup screen again.

How can I collect logging?

Problem resuming UD

I've been using UrukDroid 1.5 for a while on my Archos 10.1 IT. After some time I got problems with resume from standby. When pressing the power button, nothing happens. I need to press the button a couple of times, and sometimes there's a quick flash as if the device were on and now switches off. Only after several presses it would be awake and usable.

I went back to stock Android that does not show this problem (hence I assume it is not hardware).

Some remarks on the UD development thread make me think that 1.6RC also has this problem.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
This was a problem of the old kernel 1.5 was build on.

Archos fixed this with 2.4.80 so it also should be fixed with 1.6rc3.
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
Interesting -- even though stock Android didn't suffer from this...
[Gen8 General] berre:
hmmm upgraded to UD 1.6 RC4 and still had the same issue.

I think I might have found the cause though : I use an app called memory optimizer which I had set to the "extreme" setting. Switched to "optimal" setting and didn't have the issue so far.. crossing fingers :-)

*EDIT*

problem appeared again :-(

forgot to mention that after the spontanious reboot the touchscreen is no longer responsive and I have to reboot it by holding down the power button for 10 seconds

downloaded logcat, but how can I use this on the reboot problem? it seems you need to have it open all the time but when my archos reboots I guess all logging will be lost?

or are there logfiles in the root fs somewhere?

cheers

[Gen8 General] unicondor:
I just installed UrukDroid 1.5 to SDCard (External), and now Android tell me if i want do upgrade firmware 2.4.80..

So i tell you if it's necessary the update ? Or UrukDroid don't use it and it's unnecessary?

Thanks
[Gen8 General] rockmonkey1973:
exact same thing happened to me.

i bought it yesterday and installed 1.5 today.

however i am a bit disappointed. 1.5 doesnt seem any better than the stock firmware. i will update it to the newer releases and maybe load up an overclocking kernel but at the moment i am in two minds whether to revert back to stock leave it there and simply root that. it just seemed a lot more stable. the speed hasnt really increased neither and my defy running cm7 is a lot more nippy in action. funny really cos despite the budget nature of the device i expected a bit more from a 1ghz cpu.

however back to the point at hand. i also got the firmware update so i downloaded it and then try to install it but then... nothing. it doesnt do anything. so i am wondering if i am doing something wrong.

am i missing something here?

also am i right in thinking the first post is way out of date. i was simply able to install arctools and that installed the market for me with no changes or fixes needed.

EDIT: also i have reboots after say 20 minutes. this happens when i am listening to internet radeio and i saw another post somewhere regarding reboots and wifi but i am pretty new here and now cant find it. is there a fix for this is it a known issue? i will update the firmware soon but if it carries on like this then i am off back to stock.

If anyone can help here i would be most grateful.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
1. UD 1.5 is based on the Firmware 2.4.65 so the archos "Over Air Updater" sees that your FW Version is lower than the installed one, so it informs you about that.

As this would only update the stock FW and not Uruk, it doesn't matter.

2. If you stay with the std Launcher you will never see any improvements.

Nearly every other rom comes with another launcher that feels alot snappier.

Try Zeam or Go Launcher Ex and feel the difference.

3. You went into the powersaving menu and switched the CPU from Powersave to optimum?

Because in std setting the device only runs on a max of 800MHz.

4. To help with reboots, you could also state your Model and the boardrevision.

5. Of course the first post is outdated. Arctools is indeed the best way to install the market.
[Gen8 General] rockmonkey1973:
thanks mate.

very helpful [post. i mostly try to get things up and running myself after tons of reading and then only ask questions when i get stuck or aint happy with something. you cleared up quite a lot in your post.

i havent yet changed the launcher will do that asap.

found the powersave setting it was running at optimal. i have enabled overdrive see if that helps. do you know what this sets the cpu speed at?

also ukrconfig seems to have a few settings i aint sure what they are for. i will head over to his site and have a read up on what they do.

board revision is A705-V6 and the model is acrhos 70 internet tablet. does this have any bearing on any issues i may be having

i havent experienced any more force closes since as such and it seems to be working pretty well andfor the money i am happy enough. i will tinker a bit more and see if i can get it running a tad smoother.

EDIT: OK the archos 70 has just rebooted and then when i turn it back on again the screen is unresponsive and then just goes black. i know it will sort itself out shortly but again i read somewhere there was a fix for this problem. can anyone enlighten me as to what that fix is?

hmm well it didnt sort itself out and i had to do a clean install. as this is due to be a gift for my parents and they wouldnt have a clue how to follow simple instructions!!!! then this aint no good. it is also very annoying when you have spent time setting it all up onlky to have to wipe it all. as there is no cwm then this is a pain in the backside. i have to say i hate companies that lock down there products like this.

how do i just simply wipe it all and reinstall the archos firmware? i will have a lookski see if i can find it myself but if anyone has any idiot proof step by step instructions then that would be handy.

Hi!

Since updating to UD 1.6RC3 I have problems launching the vpnc service. A bit of digging and I found out, that apparently "/usr/local/bin/which" does not work properly. When executed it returns:
