Does it make HDMI unstable/not working?

I've used so far binary hdmi modules - perhaps they became incompatible with latest kernel changes. I've recompiled them now from source and put in next release to see if it helps.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

This would be a bit strange, but possible - any chance you could investigate it further? Take some tool like Battery Widget (I'm not saying it's best - but I use it, and I had not time to check if there is something better) that can graph battery usage in time.

I would bet more on wifi then cpugovernor but... ;)

UPNP with 1.6RC7

So, has anyone else noticed a problem with upnp? I updated to the latest RC last night and today noticed I don't have any samba or upnp available under the video player anymore. Have to admit, I haven't used upnp in awhile, so I'm not sure if it was there for me in 1.5 or not.

I can run djmount interactively and browse my upnp server, but nothing is happening auto-magically anymore. Is there any service/etc that needs to be enabled that I might be missing?
[Gen8 General] bobih:
Thats strange, i dont have any issue on latest update rc7.

Nfs4, smb and upnp works perfectly fine.

[Gen8 General] steveb625:
Currently running RC7 on my A70-8 with a 32GB uSD card. Urukdroid is installed to internal memory and not the external uSD.

Board version A70-V6

OMAP version ES1.1

Boot version Unknown/4.04.000000

Runs well and seems to be stable. I have one issue trying to install Tunein Radio app because it reports not enough memory but all other apps can be installed. It had a hiccup back on RC2 and I have a sneaking suspicion that a ground up format is the only fix. Not going down this road yet because everything else seems OK.

As far as battery use compared to RC6, it seems to be better and I have visual confirmation by an app called CPUNotify. On RC6 the indicator always showed 1,2 or 3 bars of CPU activity. Even with nothing running. Normally the indicator will go blank with no activity. This is the case with RC7 now. Seems back to normal.

I overclocked through cpugovernor, max_rate = 1100000, max_vsel = 68. I tried max_rate 1200000 @ 68 it it locked up. The current setting was stable enough to lock it into cpugovernor. In order to access cpugovernor I had to use my Ubuntu 10.04 box and from terminal execute sudo gedit to have root access to the file. No on board solutions worked but this did.

For some reason my router and access point seem to project very weak signals. They are both Netgear products and work good enough for laptops, netbooks, Roku and iStuff. At work the router and access points are easily accessible so I think its my network equipment more than the Archos.

I attempted to delete the Daos.apk file to stop the Archos firmware update from hogging cpu clicks. Used Ubuntu with a root access file manager. Was able to move the file out of system/app but it reappeared. I stuck it in an "apps-not-used" folder. I know I must be missing the elimination of another file but have not figured it out yet.

Did not check out the HDMI port because I have a Roku and it is much easier to use than the A70.

I use my A70 mostly for Internet surfing and listening to online radio (bummed about tunein though). So far Urukdroid 1.6RC7 has breathed new life into my A70 as it had sat dormant for quite a while after I got an iPad2 from work.

Next project may be to install UD on my A32 with OMAP ES1.2.

Can anyone help me? Trying to update from 1.5 to 1.6. Can flash kernel but run into bootloop. I have tried uruk config. It tells me update already done or file is in wrong place. I am not sure where to place the update file. Any help would be appreciated. Take it easy on me as I am a total noob on this tablet. Just got it for Christmas. Thank you in advance.
[Gen8 General] ArcSmurf:
$aur0n, just upgraded friom rc7 to final(but cant post in dev forum as noob!)

so far all seems ok, had Virtual Button Bar complain it couldn't set root permission via the landscape config - but works fine in normal portrait mode so think is a bug with button bar.

Everything else so far seems to have got root permission(root explorer and cpu tweaks) but have little else that needs root to test with

Update : get "Unable to execure as root" when using Virtual button bar - cant check this was working on RC7 as only installed it after moving to 1.6 final
[Gen8 General] rdskl:
I've been upgrading from 1.6RC1-RC7 and now am on final update. After update to final, I lost root, but fixed it by flashing the new kernel with "Fix Permissions" under rescue menu. So far everything is great, except for a couple of things:

1. My device can not go into deep sleep. Though this may have started in an earlier RC.

2. I cannot connect any external storage, which I could prior, USB sticks, etc.

After connect I run lsusb in terminal and get the following output:

$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 227d:0a19

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The device does not show up.

3. Under settings->about device->status, I receive a "force close".

4. Finally, I was really looking forward to getting the xpad.ko to work, but when I do lsmod under terminal, I do not see it loaded as one of the kernal modules.

Hope someone can help.

Keep up the good work $aur0n.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

When I try to insmod the .ko I get the following error:

# insmod xpad.ko

insmod: error inserting 'xpad.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

Maybe this helps.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
1. What is your device - how do you know it won't go deep sleep? Turn off wifi and check again

2. What devices are you trying to plug in?

3. That's a bummer - it's been reported by few people but this stuff is working on my device, and errors produced by Android are crap :(

4. Use modprobe - don't use insmod unless for some reason you have to (modprobe xpad - it will look for module in proper directory and resolve it dependencies with other modules, insmod is low level unfriendly tool).
[Gen8 General] ArcSmurf:
Just did a reinstall via easyinstall and all seems to be working again - virtual button bar now has the permissions it needs.

thanks for quick turn around of the problem

[NEW] Full iptables support (with NAT, conntrack etc) - so everything is now possible

I have installed Urukdroid 1.6 and tried to run Transparent Proxy, ASProxy, but had fail(

Transparent Proxy error: Failed to start redirect.sh (iptables: match "tcp" has version "libxtables.so.6", but "libxtables.so.5" is required.)

[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Well ;) you found a bug - I've checked and there is library missmach in versions - don't know where yet, I'll fix it tomorrow and let know here in this post, it should not be complicated.

edit: Apply this fix (drop it to /data/UrukUpdate) - this should do the work
[Gen8 General] rdskl:
1. It is an Archos101it. Usually when it did go into deep sleep, the power light would be off. Then when I would power it on the WiFi would be off, and would reconnect in about 10secs or so. Now its always on.

2. Usb flash/HDD drive(they do get power), but dont show up under external storage. Xbox 1 or 360 gamepads. etc.

4. modprobe worked. How can I get this to load with the boot process? How is this different than joydev.ko? In anycase this is only good if issue 2 is resolved.

Thanks
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
1. Yes, that how it should work - check how it behaves when you turn off wifi. Usually something is preventing device to go sleep.

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/FAQ#My_fails_to_hibernate_(deep_sleep)

2. They should work - please do some more tests (with keyboard etc). I can't really check this since I have A70 and A101 has different USB support (on hardware level).

Rest question I'll answer to "gamepad" thread on XDA.

[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Log looks OK - but it's first step, during reboot of device update also went ok? (you should see progress bar). If you are not sure - you can apply update once again (It's completely ok).

Error you have with iptables shows that update did not finish correctly (new iptables from fix package uses libxtables.so.7, so neither .5 or .6).

Could you show me output of this:

ls -l /usr/local/sbin/ipt*
ls -l /usr/local/sbin/xt*
[Gen8 General] astromid:
I've applied update once again, then reboot, saw progress bar =) Transparent Proxy has changed error: No chain/target/match by that name. Do you know anything about this error?

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

working fine, no errors
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Well this can be everything now - I mean this is generic error message that you want to use iptables with chain/target/match that do not exist. It may be because it's not loaded (kernel module) or it's missing (I did not compiled all modules - there is almost hundred of them). You can try to run this shell script manually with -x option (to see when it exactly failed).

su
find /data/ -name redirect.sh
go to dir wher this script is and..
bash -x redirect.sh

You can also send me this script - perhaps when I look at it, I will know what it requires.

edit: Probably (I've looked at asproxy page) it requires also redirect. Please edit file "/etc/uruk.conf/iptables" and change line

to

and reboot..
[Gen8 General] thekingmen:
I installed UrukDroid 1.6 final today on my Archos 43 IT. As I had a potentially slow sdcard I choosed to install in on the internal storage. So I choosed Advanced->Internal->Resize partition. Then I started again the developper edition and there was always an error saying that rootfs was damaged. The setup tried to repair it, said ok repared and rebooted. I could go again in the developper menu and I had the same error again and again.

Instead, I just used create new partition and it work great. Just to let you know there may be a case to investigate on Archos43IT.

Problem with wifi

Hi

I just installed urukdroid 1.6 on my A101. Installation went smoothly and the tablet reboots into urukdroid.

However it can not connect to my wifi (WPA7WPA2 encryption). I select the network, type in the password and nothing happens... not even the message saying that it is connecting. It just shows in regular intervals "scanning". The stock firmware has no problems connecting to this network.

I'm sorry if I miss something obvious - I searched this thread and it seems like I'm the only one having such a fundamental problem. :confused:

Report: Full UD1.6 Install on A32

I decided to try a full install of Urukdroid 1.6 on my A32. With previous Archos firmware releases the battery has always drained quickly (even when off). It could very well be an issue with the battery but this A32 has always had an issue with the LED staying on or coming on at intervals. No noticeable apps were running but something was running.

I used the EasyInstall method, Advanced, Format so that there would be no extra "stuff" lingering on the 8GB internal chip. CLEAN SLATE! Kept the default partition sizes of 512M and 1G. Before proceeding I backed up my apps and then copied the entire contents of the A32 to a portable hard drive (through my Win 7 computer) for future access to my apks and music files.

Followed the installation instructions for SDE as I did with my A70. The rest of the EasyInstall went without a hitch.

Observations:

It seems that the factory wifi interface is non-operational. As with other reports, entering password information results in no connection. Using the UD supplied WiFi Manager however works well. I noticed that it will not reconnect automatically after connecting to a different router or AP. No big deal as it works to get a connection.

The LED shuts off with short press of the power button. I do not even have deep sleep activated. Did not notice the LED coming on at intervals either. To note I also do not "Disable Powersave" in wifi settings, but that did not matter with old firmware which would not shut off.

It seems that the default CPU max rate is 1000000. I thought the A32 was restricted to 800000. Maybe it was with the old firmware. Tried to OC to 1100000 max rate, 66 max vsel but it locked up. I may try out 1100000/68 but it seems to me that would only deplete the battery faster. Going to try it out on general principals.

Streaming a local news broadcast in Dolphin Mini (Flash 10.3) worked well but it maxes out memory because the home screen took a second to regenerate.

On the subject of home screen, I am using VTL Launcher with 3 screens, presently. For widgets I have DateWidget, and the stock Power widget. I am running a battery monitor because I can't see the stock one but it does not appear to be a widget. The home screen always seems to generate much faster than on the old firmware.

Angry Birds, Raging Thunder Lite and Freecell all work without issue.

At this point I cannot pass judgement on battery life. Maybe in a few days.

I need to figure out how to stop the Archos update notification. It requires deletion of more than daos.apk because it regenerates after removal with a rooted file manager.

My next task is to update my A70 from RC7 with a full format, clean slate install of 1.6.

I have an iPad2 and iPhone4s which are great for Internet "consumption" with super smooth UI but Urukdroid has given my A70 and A32 new lease on life trying to maximize their perfomance and trying various apps.

I think i found a bug on the latest 1.61 uruk fix. I have made full easy reinstall and afterwards apply new fix 1.61. I use default launcher. Everything works fine but when i turn my A70 from horizontal to vertical, all the icons and widgets just disappears from the screen for 3-4 minutes. It is just me or something happened with the fix?

List of apps safe to remove?

Hey there,

I tried to find a wiki about which apps are safe to remove (like Cyanogenmod Barebones), but couldn't.

Is there anything like that? Daos for example is even mentioned in the FAQ, but I'm guessing most of the Archos apps like User Manual, Photo Frame, Online Registration, Firmware Update, DRM Protected Content Storage, Demomode, Archos Widget, etc should be fine?
[Gen8 General] scholbert:
Hi daaain!

You're correct, there's no such collected information.

I would suggest to start an own thread about this...

I simply disabled those on my device by renaming.

AFAIK it's safe to remove:

Calculator.apk

Daos.apk

DemoMode.apk

OnlineRegistration.apk

Protips.apk

StartupWizard.apk

UserManual.apk

...

Photo Frame should be no problem as well, i guess it's FloatingImage.apk

Cheers,

I've just installed uruk 1.6.1 and everythings is working fine, except for one little (but really annoying) problem, before this installation I had uruk 1.6rc5 with your Oc kernel and with cpu master I was able to oc my archos 70 up to 1.2Ghz, now I can't find the right settings for cpugovernor to achieve the same result. Can you please post the vsel used in your OC kernel for the 1.2 set? Or rebuild that oc kernel so we can use it with your latest release, it would be awesome.

Ok - I've got this problem for the first time now - somehow metadata block gets corrupted. It's totally fixable (from Linux for example) - i'll try to make it fixable during boot but probably not in 0.6 yet.

If you have "failed to mount partition...." use Linux and fsck all of them...

sudo su (get root)
fsck.ext4 -fy /dev/sdb2
fsck.ext4 -fy /dev/sdb3

It's assuming your sdcard is visible as /dev/sdb on Linux.
