do you have adb or a shell over ssh to your device, can you log while something crashes?

with reinstall do you mean just copy over or reinstall from e.g. titaniumbackup ?

did you reinstall apps all on block or only the missing? did you try do start with almost no app and reinstall one after another?

if you didn't restore with titanium backup did you look if the ownership of the programm process is the same as the directory (exept the lib folder in it) of the program in /data/data? this is often the reason for fc's or crashes.

did you try delete all in /data/dalvik-cache and let it create new?

Archos 70 It 8gb Frozen while running video games as Thunder Race or Doodle Jump

Hey guys,

I am a UrukDroid user since few days ago, having disabled compcache and swap in the config helped to leave the game playable for longer but this was not avoiding any crash. After few mins of playing the game Thunder Race it happened to be crashed with frozen screen.

I have purely not an idea on what should I and we do to get it working smoothly, please let us know if you have a solution, thanks!
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
This is an issue of your Launcher (don't know what you use) - there was this kind of problem in stock Archos/Android launcher, older Zeam Launcher - I'm not sure how it was with ProLauncher. Currently I use Zeam and like I said - it had this problem on some development level - but now is ok.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
I thought so too which is why I said the icons weren't there in any launcher. I use stock launcher because of others behaving badly with 101s cropped resolution due to soft buttons. When icon disappeared I tried adw but also missing there so its not the launcher I'm afraid.

Now battle bears icon is gone again. And its not fcs in games etc,its complete freezing of the archos device requiring long press power to force power off. Its never the same app or game so that isn't the problem. Tapatalk, battle bears, an office suite, GPS status... no connection of specific apps to the problem.

I think this roms dev is on the right track about freezes from the kernel. The disappearing icons though is sommething else.

Cheers
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Oh and no launcher like zeam has that problem on other platforms so it seems archos specific. Maybe some other archos rom bug that remains in this Rom?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
You can try this kernel - drop it to /data/UrukUpdate/

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/UrukDroid-1.0RC1-kernel.tbz2
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
Would it suits me as well as I have the same freezing problem? I can't find the data/urukdroid folder tho.....
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@frenchdj and dkelley

My advice to disable both swap wasn't the best.

Woti23 wrote he has enabled swap (not compcache) with 500mb size and 100-swappiness.

I've activate it (150mb) since a view hours and it works quite well and offers a better multitasking experience. (apps stay longer opened in background)

But this alone won't fix your problems, it's only for correcting my faulty hint.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
/data/UrukUpdate
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
yes I meant to say that subfolder. I can't find it, in data I have no similar infos
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
downloading now.

side note: android (stock browser and dolphin hd) don't download that link as a file, they decode it and try to display it as text hahaha. useless eh? I went through browser settings for both and couldn't find any way to define how different file types are handled. just thought it was a surprising oversite in those browsers.

will put it in my dropbox and copy it to archos that way :-)
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
For some strange reason my MacBook pro does not recognize nor mount the drives.It works just via PC it in data I don't have the mentioned folder so how do we do? Thanks
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Turns out apps that disappear are installed to internal storage. Moving to system storage brings them back to the app drawer.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Installing kernel happens automatically right? If so then it still froze with new kernel. Everything else set stock for your rom (compcache enabled, interactive 300 to 1000)
[Gen8 General] Mod57:
Seems to force close more then 0.7 does, sorry to report this was hoping the opposite.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
can someone who has adb or a terminal over ssh provide a logcat file?
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@woti23

THX for your PM, sadly I've seen it far too late and screwed up my 101 since yesterday TWICE!

First: Browser RAM-cache wasn't writeable (fstab...) => cached to sysfs => got full and haven't found anything to delete

Second time: I don't know, reboot wasn't working, reseted, problem remained and many freezes. (Did a fresh install before, not copied /data, not recovered apps/settings)

Know it works again (sometimes swap doesn't run?!) and I've copied your toolbox and symlinked it - works.

But since that horror trip I'm more cautious, so were exactly should I place the commands in the init.rc? (before "on boot" or at the end of the file?)

THX in advance.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
before:

class_start default

make a copy of init.rc first, of course, and make sure you can replace it when something goes wrong

i'd also suggest you run line after line once before in terminal

or put it in a file with #!/bin/sh at the beginning, and run that to test

chownto must be in a path thats found at startup, or you have to apply the full path to chownto in the script, eg maybe you put toolbox in /usr/local/bin and make the symlink to chownto there
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
No answers

I don't know, no one here seems to find out why this tablet freeze playing simple games, it's strange, I mean, more than other I installed as well my urukdroid internally but I can't find the directory data/urukupdate at all, I checked on files and no traces of it, should you suggest me to re-install the firmware again?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
It's /data/UrukUpdate - both beginning / and capital letters does matter. If it does not exist (but I doubt it) - create it and restart device.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
in terminal

su

logcat *:W > /sdcard/freeze.log &

let it freeze and post freeze.log after
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
F*** it up a third time!

The commands created the folders in RAM, but the browser wrote still to /data/../webview, which was also there after a reboot and the folders in RAM were empty.

So I deleted /data/../com.android.browser/cache manually and the "rm -r ..." command from the init.rc => not booting anymore!

I think I leave the cache as it is.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
you did not try line after line before in terminal as i suggested?
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
No, but this time. (must have overread it)

But one good thing is: I'm a master in setting up an Archos! ;-)

And should I directly place it before class_start (after "chmod 0666 /dev/pvrsrvkm") or like this:

# Browser Cache in RAM
mkdir /app-cache
mount tmpfs tmpfs /app-cache size=5m

rm -r /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
mkdir /app-cache/com.android.browser
chmod 755 /app-cache/com.android.browser
chownto /app-cache/com.android.browser /data/data/com.android.browser
mkdir /app-cache/com.android.browser/cache
chmod 755 /app-cache/com.android.browser/cache
chownto /app-cache/com.android.browser/cache /data/data/com.android.browser
ln -s /app-cache/com.android.browser/cache /data/data/com.android.browser/cache

# SGX driver
chmod 0666 /dev/pvrsrvkm

class_start default
[Gen8 General] woti23:
should not matter

i'd suggest again: copying line after line and executing in terminal

and

put toolbox in /usr/local/bin and do

ln -s toolbox chownto

in this directory

the lines i made bold above: its important that those are one long line
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
I have made it as you said (except the line-by-line try).

THX
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
@sAuron

Hi sAuron, thanks but as said twice the file was not existing, so if you say you doubt it , you are telling me I am an idiot? lol Don't worry I said that this /dataUrukUpdate folder does not exist at all, so I'll create it. Still I believe this Firmware as a lot of things to update before it's up and running smoothly, thanks
[Gen8 General] woti23:
the strange thing: you never wrote the directories correct until now

its /data/UrukUpdate

not /dataUrukUpdate

which makes some difference ;-)
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
LOL. It's me always mistying, sorry for that :) BTW I am even unable to mount the internal drive disk on my mac, he doesn't recognize it at all, it's just visible on my other netbook
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
No, it's not working that way. (for me)

I've executed them all line-by-line and that worked (except the "mount..." so I've put the first 2 lines into init.rc and rebooted) but if I put all, like I've posted, into init.rc, it doesn't. (No webviewCache was made after starting/surfing the browser)

So I've only let the first 2 lines in init.rc and put the rest into /etc/init.d/S98webcache and it works.

You're sure it is working correctly on your device?
[Gen8 General] woti23:
Yes, but i said before, i run it from /etc/init.d

with the difference that my init.d scripts are run earlier than yours, i modified init.rc for that.

but yours work now too? you do recognize a difference in browser speed, do you?
[Gen8 General] woti23:
is your netbook linux? is the internal drive ext partition? mac and windows can't see ext2/3/4 without additional programs
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
Windows 7 but from there I can see the internal drive. The data directory is empty and when I create the UrukUpdate the system does not locate the kernel file at all. Please help if you can thanks
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
Yeah, it's working now and zoomed scrolling seems to be much smoother, but my wlan connection sometimes rebels. (maybe because of the bad signal strength)

The only thing I haven't tried is the reboot (I always shut it down and start again), because it hung even after the last fresh install and I had to reset it. (while it was trying to reboot)

So THX again, now it's really (almost) perfect!

Best regards.
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@frenchdj

Download the Urukdroid-google-package onto the pc (didn't work to download to phone for me) and push it to the sd/Downloads.

In Terminal type:

su

cp /storage/Downloads/UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2 /data/UrukUpdate

A terminal app can be downloaded via appslib. (go to there website to download appslib if you haven't done it yet)
[Gen8 General] Mod57:
frenchdj are you using Root Explore or a similar program when you search for /data/UrukUpdate? You can't access it with stock file manager.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
I will next time it happens.m

This is interesting.... I tried 3 other changes and so Far have no lockups.

-disabled compcache

-enabled swap (I need SOMEthing...)

-googled and found a 101 user who had no issues at home but freezes at work. Home network had tkip, work had aes encryption. So I changed my home router to tkip (was both before).

Edit: this is all with your experimental kernel from a couple pages back.

So possibly one or more of above has solved the issue.

Since only some of us have the freezing issue, and that one guy had a clear aes freezing problem (which went unheeded in that forum), I suspect the wifi encryption type is the issue.

If so then it's unique to the gen8 stuff. I hope I can help recreate the issue with aes and send a logcat to help cure this probably common gen8 problem

Could everyone check their wifi encryption type and report aes or tkip or both and if u ever get freezing please?
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Damn. Lockscreen just died. fwiw this is, I think, different from the freezes I had in the past where those freezes resulted in a completely unresponsive device (couldn't even put it to sleep with power button).

This time it happend in tapatalk and touchscreen stopped responding. curser kept blinking and power button put it to sleep just fine but wouldn't wake it up again. power light was blinking green.

so I long press powered it off and restarted it and got a logcat.

attached here :-)

edit: remember logcat was created after it was restarted and after I launched tapatalk again out of sheer habit before I ran alogcat.
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@dkelley

This would declare my problems with one of my routers, which sadly only supports AES.

I don't get freezes, but sometimes the WLAN strength drops to zero bars (but stays enabled) and I have to disable and enable it again to work.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
interesting. let's hope that using tkip helps reduce some of the more common issues, where possible. but at this time it might have simply been a coincidence.

logcats may help the devs work this out, along with reports from users based on their router encryption setups and frequency and type of gen8 issues.
[Gen8 General] woti23:
There is nothing suspicious. We need the log near the crash.
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
Maybe a little off topic, but not worth a thread:

I want to have the softkeys sorted like on my Desire and I've found that file:

/system/board_properties/virtualkeys.A101IT

...
search: 0,0; w,h/4
home: 0,h/4; w,h/2
menu: 0,h/2; w,3/4h
back: 0,3/4h; w,h

Is it possible thru that file (and how exactly) our do I have to mod framework-res.apk?

Normally I would try without asking, but I don't want to brick it the fourth time in two days.

EDIT: Have changed the sort of the names with no result. :-(
[Gen8 General] woti23:
@dkelley

maybe worth a closer look:

i saw in the log you use juice defender, setcpu and there is the android own

/system/bin/powerd thats started in init.rc

but using setcpu with powerd, which is a difficile thing on his own could maybe cause troubles, especially when setcpu sets frequency higher and powerd wants to lower the voltage at the same time.

just a guess.
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
ok, I reinstalled Uruk droid again.

I use Es Explorer and Android Terminal, but with Terminal I can't install the Google Market, for the Market I'd use the simple Arc Tools with the Market included wouldn't be good?

And what if I put that file in the data/UrukUpdate? Is not running automatically the kernel update.....
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@frenchdj

You don't need to "install" the market, just copy $aur0n's package somewhere onto your Archos and then type into your terminal:

cp /path/to/package/name /data/UrukUpdate

Done!

The market will magically appear after a few seconds.
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
Hey $aur0n,

did I ever told you that I love you? :p

I've realized only now, that the oom_adj value doesn't get reseted by the kernel 2.6.29.

Can't write any further - I'm in a hurry - gonna get one for my Desire as well! :D

(and sorry for maybe crapping your thread, but i have to say that)
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
As am not a linux expert nor Terminal user, may I ask you the following:

/data/UrukUpdate is the folder where the market and kernel files resides, can you please guide me giving me the string address I have to type in order to get it working? Which software chall I use to do that and to explore the system Thanks
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
Download the package "UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2" from the UrukDroid main-thread post #1 to your PC. (or phone if possible)

Put it into your Downloads folder on the phone. (It's in there if you downloaded it with the phone)

You mentioned you have installed a terminal, right?

Open it and type in:

cp /storage/Downloads/UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2 /data/UrukUpdate

Done! Market will appear in the drawer in a few seconds.

Maybe you have to type in "su", press enter and then the command I wrote, if the system tells you something about "permission..."
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
Yes, we are talking about Phone Directory but still Archos 70 IT right?
[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
You have to get the package somehow on your phone, into the Downloads folder then do what I wrote

on the phone.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
well these issues happened before I used juicedefender, but I'll remove setcpu and reboot and see if that helps.

I just had another lockup, a full lockup this time where even the power button wouldn't put it to sleep. I'll run alogcat and attach it to this post.

then will remove setcpu and juice (juice isn't needed anyhow, just a habit to install it from my hero days).
[Gen8 General] BitVenom:
UrukDroid mods

I asked on the other release thread, but I've been playing, so I have more detail:

I make 'custom' libaudioflinger mods. Mostly for my job. When I tried to build and replace the one in 0.7 (file sizes nearly the same, same CPU, etc) - after I reboot it stays at the Init Rootfs stage of loading _forever_. (Others have asked about this)

If I attempt to decompress and recompress the install.tgz (as a prep step to injecting the changes files at install), the .tgz comes up very slightly the wrong size, and it won't let me install it.

Does anyone have any idea how best to re-pack the .tga for install, or why changing the contents of /system cause the Rootfs to lock? On a normal Android system this sort of MOD is harmless - I do it every day. In the rare case I mis-build, Android will just bootloop until you put the 'good' file back via ADB. In the case, not even getting to ADB - seems very, very odd.

Thank you for your help.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
that issue may have been different and so not showing anything in logcat possibly. it actually may have just slowed to a crawl for a minute and then come back - like extreme cpu use for that time by something I wasn't aware of.

it's happened a few times too.

there's that issue and the issue of a full true lockup - where leaving it for an hour will make no difference and no button, otehr than long press power (of course), does anything. that is the one which I believe I encountered in my post just above this reply (which has a new logcat file attached - hopefully more useful)

edit: ok I've removed juice and setcpu. rebooting and now will reenable your governer control (I had disabled it when using setcpu of course) and will reboot again for safety sake.
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
wow, completely froze again. can't even put it to sleep. this was after a reboot after removing setcpu and juice defender. it was fine, opened app drawer closed it, gave it to my 5 yr old daughter to play a game on (she's a great QA engineer for making the 101 freeze LoL), froze as soon as she picked it up. couldnt' do anything.
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
I did put it in the Storage the package, executed with terminal, no sign of any market nowhere :( -thanks anyway, sigh I feel sad of myself doing this lol
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
since that last freeze I booted into stock android gen8 (froyo latest version) and it hasn't frozen once with extensive game playing etc.

so it's not the hardware (which is what I was starting to wonder...).
[Gen8 General] woti23:
did you copy it to /data/UrukUpdate/ ?

another try:

copy it again

open UrukConfig Application

there from Services Options Informations

click Options

click button "Force update"

reboot
[Gen8 General] frenchdj:
Thanks I ll try it. But why cant we use the google market downloading arctools from appslib?I ve just been able to run force update to run the kernel code. Will try for the market
[Gen8 General] woti23:
i'm running out of ideas

if you have backuped everything, you could

- remove in terminal or root explorer all in /data/data

(doublecheck its /data/data and not /data only)

su ; rm -r /data/data/*

as those will most likely fc many apps be prepaired to reboot as soon as possible

after reboot the startup wizard should appear

use the archos launcher, not your favorite launcher, you can restore it later

if its stable

try to open the market, you will need your google account pw perhaps

restore titanium backup, it will get its settings back from sdcard

if its stable, begin restoring apps, beginning with launcher, but not all at once!
[Gen8 General] chemical1der:
audioflinger.so help

Sorry for the double post but I posted this in the other UrukDroid thread but no one has responded. There seems to be some interest in solving the audioflinger.so mystery with UrukDroid. Any insight would be greatly, greatly appreciated and I think would help the community. TIA:

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!
[Gen8 General] reffu:
Wifi issues

Hi $auron I really appreciate urukdroid and love it on my A43. The only problem I have is one I have seen other's talk about but have not seen a solution to.

The wifi connection will sometimes disconnect randomly when entering an app and won't reconnect until I enter the settings app.

In addition, When copying any file over the network larger than about 10mb It will stop at some point and say file wasn't copied or there was an error copying file.

I have 3 routers in my house (one's a belkin and the other two are linksys) and the same problem happens to all of them. I have used a samba file server on linux mint debian x64 as well as a shared file on windows 7 x64 ultimate. My A43 can access both but can't copy large files. I didn't have these problems in the stock os and was wondering whether there were any solutions, or if there was any additional info I could give you to help solve the problem.

Thanks,

Reffu

Edit: Just installed latest 1.0rc kernel and zimage and problems seem to be gone. $auron, You are awesome. :)
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Excellent plan. Without a clockwork style recovery I wasn't sure where to start with wipes.

Will do that and watch for issues. Will take some time since I want to try to be fairly sure of no freezing before adding anything more each time.

Thx for all the help

[Gen8 General] dkelley:
Oh and is it OK to set mediascanner to run at boot like normal android devices? Or should it be disabled as urukdroid default because of some issue with it on archos I'm not aware of?

To early I was happy that the -17 (oom_adj) works like it should.

(it works for flext9, but not for the ADW EX launcher)

Would you mind checking if the following patch was made to the kernel?

(only 3 lines of code and a few comments)

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2010/q3/377
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
You can try to change width/height - not sort order. (haven't checked it - but it could be interesting)

This patch removes some functionality - from what I see in diff - there are no such lines in source (that are removed with this patch). So I can't tell if it's applied - but this should make no difference.

Please try another kernel (I've updated last one - removing some more features...)

[Gen8 General] floyd0815:
@$aur0n

THX for checking that!

Since the huge amount of swap the launcher doesn't get killed anyway, so my system works perfectly without the invincible launcher.

I've flashed it without recognizing any problems. (in alogcat)

Is there a difference in the wlan driver or something else new or modded that we should know of?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
It has no new feature - just lack some of them introduced in UD 0.7. I'm trying to find why it hangs sometime - so if this one will not hang, I'll try to do small steps and add missing stuff.
