Thanks for your feed-back, there was a little bug in code, sorry :D

You can replace UrukConfig with this version, should work better :rolleyes:

I've hide backup tab, for now it's not ready for use.
[Gen8 General] hurrpancakes:
Well that seemed to take care of it. However, I can make a swap size of 128MB, but I cannot make one of 256MB (it says there is not enough space). I'm using a 16GB class 10 card.

On another note, I'm trying to istall the Google Market using UrukDroid Google Market 1.0, and I can't seem to find a UrukUpdate folder anywhere on the device to save my life. I'm using astro, and I can't find it. Do I have to make an UrukUpdate folder, and does it have to be /data/UrukUpdate or /mnt/storage/data/UrukUpdate?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out myself. I downloaded the UrukDroid Market File, and copied it to the UrukUpdate folder using Terminal Emulator.

Here is what I did, for those who need help.

1. Download the "UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2" file from the UrukDroid original post, and put it on your tablets internal storage.

2. Download Terminal Emulator from the AppsLib market.

3. Start it, and type the following:

su (accept the permission prompt)
cp mnt/sdcard/UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz data/UrukUpdate

4. Reboot, and when your tablet is back up, you should see the market!
[Gen8 General] kevinddavis:
I got this working. FOR ME, Astro gets into what appears to be the correct /data folder, but it doesn't see anything that is in there. I'm assuming it silently is getting a SuperUser Priviledges Required error. Note that the New item is grayed out. At least it was for me.

I used "Terminal Emulator" version 1.0.21 by Jack Palevich to su, then cd over to /data. The UrukUpdate folder was there, so I cp the market file from my sdcard into the UrukUpdate folder. Of course, you have to use Linux commands.

I only mention the author of TE because there are so many in the appslib. The first one I downloaded didn't work. It kept hanging when I su'ed.
[Gen8 General] hurrpancakes:
Thanks, but I managed to do that a couple minutes before I posted. :D

CifsManager not working....

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I try to launch the CifsManager app I get the following error... ""

Thread #756158 mentions...

Q: I have installed CifsManager but launching the app fails with something like "Application not installed on your phone"

A: This is not a problem caused by CifsManager but a bug in your ROMs launcher. Look for an updated version of your launcher.

I wanted to use this to mount an SMB share on my wifi network to play videos using RockPlayer.
[Gen8 General] kevinddavis:
OK we have market working.

Anyone know why I can't download in the standard browser? Download fails.
[Gen8 General] steveb625:
Hi fzelle,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried it in UD and also connected to my Ubuntu 10.04 box using a rooted file manager. As it seems right now I did not see the update notice running in services since my format install of UD1.6 last week.

UrukDroid compatibility with LUKS Manager?

Has anyone successfully used LUKS Manager (a TrueCrypt-like app) with UrukDroid on Gen 8?

According to the developer web site, the device must "Have a kernel that supports secure dm-crypt modes (CONFIG_DM_CRYPT) and loopback devices" and I am wondering whether Uruk has these features.

The developer web site is located at (sorry can't post full URLs yet):

nemesis2.qx.net/pages/LUKSManager

Someone on another forum thought that Uruk might have loopback support but wasn't sure about CONFIG_DM_CRYPT.

If UrukDroid works with LUKS Manager, it might be time to give it a try . . . I've rooted my tablet but have stuck with the stock firmware so far.

Thanks!
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Yes it has DM_CRYPT (loopback of course also) and some ciphers also

What for you would use crypt on tablet?

Adding cryptsetup util would be probably quite simple...
[Gen8 General] kraken88:
Thanks $aur0n, that's really helpful to know.

Why use encryption on the tablet? Basically I want to take it on the road with me, and I'd like to be able to store copies of important travel documents (e.g. scan of passport, that kind of thing) on the tablet. I pretty much assume anything I take abroad will be stolen, so I'd prefer to lock up personal information as much as possible. On a laptop you can use TrueCrypt, which is great for that purpose, but there hasn't been a similar app for Android yet.

I know that individual files can be encrypted with existing software, but that's not ideal. The nice thing about TrueCrypt is having an entire volume that can be locked/unlocked at need, with all of the file encryption/decryption happening transparently in the background. LUKS Manager is an attempt to do the same kind of thing, which is why I'm interested.

I have other hoops to jump through before I can try it--evidently I need to upgade my BusyBox, among other things. But knowing that UrukDroid supports the necessary kernel features is a big step in the right direction.
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
Another use: I make regular backups of my PC/server on external USB disks, which are encrypted for privacy. When I'm on the road for a couple of days I like to take the most recent backup with me, and it would be very nice if I could access all the files on it from the tablet. Thousands of books, comix, CDs, DVDs, ...
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
I've tested - it's working (I'll make an update for uruk with required changes).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21613545&postcount=2411

Now tell me how to make it usable ;)
[Gen8 General] kraken88:
Holy cow, that was quick! Nemesis][, the author of LUKS Manager, is on xda--here is the thread about the project:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1141467

I am thinking that the GUI work already done on LUKS Manager could be useful, assuming Nemesis][ is cool with that.

My technical familiarity with all of this is minimal, but I notice you created an EXT4 volume, while the most recent release of LUKS Manager switched to EXT2 as the default FS instead. I have no idea why, just wanted to mention the discrepancy.

Seriously, this is awesome. Thanks for messing around with it.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
All required stuff is on system level - GUI should be only dump click and run something on system, so no big deal.

Luks has nothing to do with filesystem - you can even use FAT on it...
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
Thanks! I know the commands :)
[Gen8 General] Moko_Loko:
I install the ROM on my A43 on my 8 GB memory card and now I see that the capacity of the card is only 5.99 GB ...I uninstall the developer package but it still on 5.99 GB

how can I get that back to 8 GB ?
[Gen8 General] daaain:
This is because Uruk repartitions your flash, see notes at the end of installation wiki: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation#Advanced

You'll have to repartition it into one volume to see it as one big number, but no space is lost - though without Uruk you won't be able to access it.
[Gen8 General] pitflyer:
Installing on an Archos 101 that had SDE + CM7 Bull on it. Installation went fine except I'm now at the URUK DROID LOADING screen for the past 15 minutes. It seems every 5 minutes or so the screen flashes -- but I don't see anything in the flash, just back to this screen. I don't see any progress meters so I don't know if its doing anything. Prior to this everything went to plan -- I saw the meter go up during the install and then it said post installation steps and then that disappeared and this screen.

Is my SD card too slow? When I had CM7 I had deleted the stock option, so everything was booting through OpenAOS, which worked fine there since I could also boot stock or CM7. Now that my URUKDROID is hosed I can't get to stock either, right, so I have to basically go back to CM7 or undo SDE to be able to boot?
[Gen8 General] Moko_Loko:
thanks man !

on the page you linked my to there is only the option to reinstall the ROM.

I broke my A43 screen so it a bit on a problem ):

is there a computer program that can see the repartitions on the SD card and change them ?
[Gen8 General] MarsCarmen:
I'm using urukdroid 1.6.1 on my archos 101(16g).There are two problem.First,whatever I set the swap size to ,there's only 64MB available showing in Terminal emulation.And the compcache service cannot start.It's showing cannot read swap header file.
[Gen8 General] Nemesis][:
Just wanted to chime in...

I switched to EXT2 because it's supported by more kernels / Android devices. (Some users couldn't use EXT4; so I went w/the lowest common denominator. And yes, the filesystem doesn't really matter; LUKS currently supports both FAT and EXT2. The LUKS container really doesn't care what you place in it.)

And I'm not quite sure what you meant about "the GUI work already done on LUKS Manager could be useful"...?

-N2
[Gen8 General] kraken88:
Hi N2, thanks for dropping in!

I was trying to respond to $aur0n's comment in the linked thread:

I probably misunderstood what he meant about a "gui" but I thought he was talking about something minimal like what you put in LUKS, i.e., a few buttons to help with creating, mounting, and unmounting encrypted volumes.

I am still eager to try out this type of encryption. I don't think $aur0n's changes are in a release of Uruk yet but maybe I'm wrong . . . and I can be patient (of course)! As to LUKS manager itself, apparently I would also need to install a modified BusyBox, because your program reported that certain applets were missing (losetup, tr, mke2fs). There are BusyBox updaters on the market, but it is not clear to me whether they have these applets, and I also don't want to break compatibility with other apps that use BusyBox (e.g. Titanium Backup).

Anyway . . . thanks to both you and $aur0n for your work on this feature . . . it's something that has been really missing in Android, as far as I can tell!

I fixed my issue by reflashing stock sde and then uruk on internal.. I love it... The only problem I see is stuttering flash video
[Gen8 General] lordjubblydave:
I am running Urukdroid 1.6 on a Archos 70 IT with 250gb HDD.

I used the simple install method.

It seems it could be what I am looking for.

Is there anyway of installing it to the internal flash memory (I don't mind losing Stock)

Also I get quite a lot of force closes random reboots and lag when using the keyboard, any ideas.?

I have put this down to the HDD being slower than flash, and hence my first question.

Thanks in advance

How can I set the wifi policy to NEVER while there is nothing in wifi/advanced ?

I have searched but most of the methods are using another app. Can I configure some system files to change the wifi policy
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
And why not use a free apk?
[Gen8 General] drcyber:
since Urukdroid 1.6 i have a Problem whit shutdowns/restarts. When i choose one of this, my 101 says something like "shutting down" but nothing happens , even if I leave it untouched for hours, it still hangs at this point, the only way to interrupt this, is to hard-shut-down the device long pressing the Power-Button.

any ideas whats the Problem?
[Gen8 General] kiemthu123:
My A70IT's battery (uruk 1.6.2) is draining terribly: 5% in 2hours and Im waiting for the update of UR. My free ram is fluctuate from 50 to 25mb, so I want to find a way to figure wifi policy without installing any apps. Thank
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
1.

y also have this problem 50% gone over night....

each morning my device is out of battery

what first came into my mind was:

- wifi policy

- services

- compare to stock

im about checking....

2.

I have another STRANGE problem i had 3 or 4 times already.... but i never could figure out what affected it.

My app drawer wont update the installed apps propper.

After installation it sometimes takes about 5min to seem them.

What i changed last was installing the optimistions by sibere, and disabling some archos apps (apps lib,...)

Does anyone know what service/appis responsible for updating app drawer?
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Well what I found out atm:

Test 1:

Dutarion: 10-12 hours

OS: UD 1.6.2

Wifi: Off

Drain: about 50%

Usage: none

Test 2:

Dutarion: 10- 12 hours

OS: latest Firmware .82 fresh installed - just wifi and initial setup

Wifi: On

Drain: about 50%

Usage: none

So it really has to be something in the firmware.... since:

Test 1 - showed it's not wifi

Test 2 - showed it's not the services

Test 2 - showed it's not UD related (had since problem since around 1.6.0 but im not sure)

I also tried to set wifi policy with spare parts some days ago - no changes

Next Test: downgrade OS
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Let us know - this can be very interesting.
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Sure i will....

Backups: done

Downgrade: done

chrage fully: in progress

Check drainage for next 12 hours: done

Test 3:

Dutarion: 14 hours

OS: 2.3.26 - as this was the fw when I got my device and all was working fine

Wifi: Off

Drain: about 40%

Usage: none

Conclusion:

1. a bit better - but still not acceptable.

2. As in all test and the past weeks I noticed the green light NEVER will tun off - even wifi is off and the system is installed fresh.

3. Thank you Archos - somehow I feel lik you planned the obsolescence of your products: 1st the USB failure - wich somehow just gets partialy fixed by exactly !one! firmware - wich still seems strange to me - as they MUST have changed some code in the internal FW of the chips as it seems to me - otherwise a downgrade would help tosolve the failure too imho. And 2nd that my device doesnt' want to get to sleep propper anymore as it seems - as the light is permanently on - even after a fresh intalled downgraded rom.

Well i don't give up - next stop - the 1st FW I can get for our device ... lets have a look.
[Gen8 General] arie_i:
Downgrade to what?
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Test 4:

FW: earliest FW i could download: 2.0.54

Powerlight: still permantent on, no matter I use Airplane mode or hibernate (long power press -> turn off -> hibernate)

fully loading: in progress

drain: ?

Anyway - as i came here already - I will test the draining anyway even i think my device still will drain fast since it seems it wont go to sleep anymore (or is the green light just lieing?!?!?)

1st i found on goole was CPU Sleep Monitor - will test it out

Do u know other programs for monitoring the sleep/ awake state?
[Gen8 General] lordjubblydave:
I have installed uruk 1.5.1 on my Archos 70h 250 gb

I am getting a lot of reboots and high battery drain, ie as i am typing this my battery has dropped 6% !!!!

I guess the dain is due to uruk being insalled on the hdd.

The reboots seem quite random although more regular under intense use so maybe overheating?

Are there any workarounds or solutions? Is this nomal for the a70 h?

If there is anything i can do debug wise let me know.would logcats help?
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
I thought BatterySnap could do that.
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Update:

just found THIS

at archosfans....

EDIT: and here

RAGE is comming up - ok calm down ....

WTF WTF WTF - now the dead USB port is also responsible for my device not going into standby anymore!??!

clam down again....

well - will still do the 4th test - just about chraging my device to 100%

Then i will do a PROPPER monitoring with logging CPU frequencies and usage ...

lets see - but i fear there wont be hope - unless - HEY lets do the coco jambo and flash latest firmware again... i've been there before my mind tells me (but i ignore it)...

EDIT2: seems my test are not usefull for the rest of u as my problems really are affected by this damn USB/Powermanagement-Chip (at least schollbert mentions it to be the same here + several other people have the usb-dead -> standby problems)

to be continued...

Question about dual booting

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I could not find an answer by searching.

I have been happily running Uruk 1.5 for a while but yesterday my A70 re-booted into the stock firmware apparently with the apps that were installed just before I switched over to UK.

I did the Uruk advanced install to internal memory so I was surprised that this happened. At first, I thought that I had mistakenly installed Uruk to my external SD card but removing the SD card resulted in the same behaviour.

I found that by re-booting with the vol. button held and selecting to boot from the Developer Edition I got Uruk back again. Phew! However, if I re-boot with vol. held down and select Android then I get the stock firmware again.

Ok, so here are my questions.

1. Is the stock firmware booted this way safe to use? I don't want to compromise my Uruk install or any data files.

2. Would it be safe to update my stock firmware to the latest Archos build, or would that also compromise my UK install?

I would like to be able to dual-boot, but when I tried this using an SD card it was just too slow to tolerate so I forgot about it and switched using the Advanced Internal install for Uruk.

Don.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
That is the std behavior, and yes to 1 and 2.
[Gen8 General] steveb625:
Hello,

I use terminal app to check CPUgovernor. First I open terminal then I type sudo to get root access. You will see a message that terminal has been granted root access. Then I type the command you have listed /etc/Uruk.d/CPUgovernor stats.

That should work.
[Gen8 General] peterpanda:
Many thanks for your help, it works well now.

Just another question, overclock is OK on my device but, when I restart it, everything return on stock, overclock is always unable but max_rate value return to 1000000 instead of 1100000 before the device restart.

Any idea?

Do we need to modify max_rate at each device start?
[Gen8 General] steveb625:
You need to use a rooted editor in order to modify the cpugovernor.conf file. I could not get this to work on the device but rather I connected to my Ubuntu 10.10 computer and from terminal on the computer ran sudo gedit. Once the gedit window opened I found the file on my Archos and modified the required lines to allow continued OC even after reboot. Did this on my A32 and A70.
[Gen8 General] peterpanda:
Thanks again for your help, I'm really a noob.

I don't know that I have to remove # sign in cpugovernor conf file.

Now everything runs perfectly.

Thanks.

worth it to oc?

Does it worth to oc? is it stable, faster, first impressions in general?
[Gen8 General] peterpanda:
It seems to be stable for me at 1.1Ghz.

Now, it's too early to say if it's really faster.

I try the apply "speed pie" and be 0.5s faster to calcul 10000 digit.

Good thing if the speed is better but my first objective was to know how to overclock this A70S.

install pb - can't transfert image file

Hi guys,

I have an A70IT2 and i try to see if A70 and A70IT2 are compatible with all custom OS. I have installed BULL RC2 without pb, but i can't install Urukdroid.

My problem is that i can't mount/see my drive after install kernel.

I have framework starts, choose simple install, and when the drive is mount, i can see it, but i haven't any access (see RAW fs type under windows and ubuntu).

I had tried ext2 volume manager under windows(thunk that ext partition) and mount it under ubuntu 10, no result.

Is there another way to transfert tar.gz file to my SD to terminate installation? (maybe possible with ADB?)

[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
if u mean with "fw 2.4.82 under urukdroid 1.6" -> having both installed parralel -> update stock fw while UD is installed - yes you can. But just the stock fw will be on .82 - for UD we need to w8 for the update.

For making a backup of UD use the recovery menu of UD -> Uruk Wiki -> vol- at UD boot screen
[Gen8 General] Miloosebe:
Use of external DAC ?

Hi,

I plan to buy an archos 43 IT. The only point that prevent me to buy it is that it is not possible to connect an external DAC to the usb port of the Archos 43 (as the Fiio E10). The goal is to bypass the internal DAC and use a hifi DAC to play music at home.

This feature is apparently not enabled in the default Android kernel (sorry, as a new member, I can't post external links, but it's in position 23 of the user's requests for android 4.0)

Archos recently implemented this feature in the last firmwares of the Gen9 Internet Tablet, but I doubt they foresee this for the Gen8. I thought that this could be have been implemented in Urukdroid, but a search in this forum and in google lets me think that this is not the case.

Is this possible that this feature would be implemented in a future release of urukdroid ? Otherwise, I can always try to compile my own kernel, but this is another story...

PS: Some info from linux-usb.org (sorry, I can't post links, so I quote):
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
USB sound devices (CONFIG_SND_USB) is enabled in Uruk kernel (built in - not module).

Question

I've read a lot in the last few days and I've got a question which none had explained simple and I got confused a bit. Here is the question.

As i saw there are some methods to root my device (Archos 70, I bought it 1 month ago) and different developer editions. What is the difference if I install UrukDroid or if I use Chulri's SDE root method? I mean is there any performance difference and can I continue to play movies,music, etc along with the features provided by the root?

Question related to UrukDroid - can i use it as my daily OS?
[Gen8 General] athankar75:
dev mapper?

Urukdroid is android on steroids and stable as rock. More memory, better performance, root= freedom to do tweaks. The only issue with last version is the devmapper (some apps doesn't installed corectly). I believe soon will be an update to solve this...
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Well unless someone will give me some solid debug - it may not be so fast... my archos is broken and I can't use screen (just ssh on it works now), in 1.6.4 dev mapper is certainly working (that i've tested) - but there seems to be some other glitch...
[Gen8 General] Mavasilisk:
I installed it and I'm more then pleased. I have way better performance and free memory (ram). Not to mention the OC kernel which additionaly improved my brand new A70S. I found the answers of my previous questions pretty fast since I installed it.

Are the RC updates uploaded in Uruk's page? Excuse me if I've missed it, an direct link would be great. Thanks in advice
