A101, UrukDroid 1.0

I have a NAS storage box, with a passworded SMB share, and a non-passworded Guest. try to connect via SMB in Video Player, can only see the Guest folder. same problem if use File Manager.

if boot into stock android, can only see the passworded folder, no the Guest.
[Gen8 General] xKrisx:
Ok the basics.

FW 2.1.8

Uruk 1.0

I just did a completely fresh install from SDE forward.

Everything runs fine except I am experiencing random reboots, a few FC on apps "mainly got them fixed except HBOgo that worked on stock", and a weird WiFi error. The WiFi error will happen randomly, I can be reading XDA and go to refresh and not have WiFi, I go to reconnect and under settings wireless networks it will show "error" and the only way to fix it is shutdown "not reboot".

So in attempt to fix things, I reinstalled Uruk 1.0 and tried everything again, same results. I am kinda at a loss here but if ya need me to do anything, I am familiar with android just not the archos. I develop for HTC Inspire lol and need to dive into this thing already lol.

Hi,

I can't make browser work when tethering my archos 70 (with UrukDroid 1.0) with my phone (a Sony Ericsson w705, not an Android phone)

All other apps seem to work fine (connection ok), but the browser doesn't want to load pages, it instantly shows "the page couldn't be found" as if there was no connection :/

I tried resetting the settings, but it still doesn't work...

Did anyone (sibere ?) succeed in using the stock browser (or any other one) while tethering ?

This is the exact same problem I have with urukdroid 1.0 and 0.7. I went to the extreme of uninstalling SDE, format device and SD card, reinstalling SDE, and then reinstalling urukdroid, but this problem persists .... why?
[Gen8 General] xKrisx:
Well after digging around I found that a safety protocal is causing my reboots, the OC control is locking the CPU to a constant 1ghz when a program is running causing a overheat, thus reboot. I disabled Urukconfig CPU ondemand and reinstalled setcpu, auto detect with it on demand and no lock to 1ghz, and no reboots now for 3hrs continual using.

As I am unfamiliar with archos, I know that on Inspires the CPU behaves differantly on each device. So what works on one may not work on another. I have had reports that some could use the CM7 built in OC Mod but couldn't use SetCPU and vice versa. So I am not saying that Uruk is defective, it just may be my hardware doesn't like its control parameters.

As far as the WiFi is concerned, I still can't figure it out.

I have Terratec Cinergy T usb xe digitv dongle..

Tried to testdrive this, but can't even edit dvb -conf file :D

Using root explorer managed to edit, but when save & exit seems that file is not saved. Tested to copy file to sdcard, edited and saved ok, but when copy/paste to uruk-conf directory -> Can't save, no space :D

:confused:

Edit: Managed todo modifications after reboot :)

..and usb connect to pc (win 7 64bit) dont work, archos gives usb error message..

Update: Got device configured.. somehow..

not support NAS passworded SMB

A101, UrukDroid 1.0

I have a NAS storage box, with a passworded SMB share, and a non-passworded Guest. try to connect via SMB in Video Player, can only see the Guest folder. same problem if use File Manager.

if boot into stock android, can only see the passworded folder, no the Guest.
[Gen8 General] sibere:
Same here after a fresh install of 1.0.

Got the "error" status in setup menu. Other strange thing is that sometimes I turn OFF wifi using wifi manager (I'm using only this since 1.0 mainly because of this bug with error status) but after a while, after leaving the A70S on sby for some time, when I turn the device back on, the Wifi is also ON! Yes It's activating itself automagically!

I haven't found the reason for such a behavior, but it's a pity since wifi in v0.7 was absolutely perfect.

I guess this bus has been introduced with adhoc or other things added to the stock Archos wifi configuration.

EDIT: Just figured out that this happens when for example I turn OFF wifi using Wifi manager, then starts Gmaps. It starts automatically Wifi again... weird! Can't wifi be turned off for good?
[Gen8 General] Slurm:
I can't access a samba share on my nas without being asked for a password, but I haven't set one.

From default android (2.3.26) I can access the share without any problem.

What can I do to solve this under urukdroid?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
You can use cifs service, and cifs mounter tool (from market) - it's the way it's done in 2.3.26 (they resigned from smb on behalf of cifs)
[Gen8 General] Slurm:
Thanks, that worked!
[Gen8 General] shokuhawan:
Can I change the boot Animation? And how?
[Gen8 General] machatta:
I had the same reboot problems - every few minutes. This was following a wipe and clean install of 1.0 (having originally upgraded from a trouble free .7). Followed your lead and disabled Cpugovernor and the errors have disapperared (for 12 hours anyway :) ).

Thanks.

Slow market

I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting impossibly slow download speeds. When I'm in Archos' stock Android, it's fine. But when i try to get the dropbox app for instance while in Uruk, it took around 20 mins. Any suggestions.
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:

Use UrukConfig and force update from there
[Gen8 General] ShadowZephyr:
Hey guys, I keep encountering this really weird bug on my 8GB A70IT. It has a fresh install of Uruk 1.0 on it, and the bug has to do with the integrated battery indicator. It will show that it is draining ridiculously fast, like 5% within a minute, but if I dim the screen and put it into deep sleep and then wake it again, it will go back to the correct percentage, or what I am assuming is the correct percentage.

I don't know if anyone reported this as a bug yet, or if it's isolated to just me, but I figured that the quickest way to find out would be to post it in this thread :D

WIFI BUG

It looks like there is still some unknown issue related to the wi-fi. Why does it says ERROR when is turned OFF and it turns ON automatically if not in AIRPLANE MODE? Any suggestion, solutions or alternatives? Thanks very much

I still have the same Wifi behavior on my 1.0 (with 1.1b3 kernel/initramfs) A70S.
[Gen8 General] Black Antitoon:
Hello. I have just installed UrukDroid and overall it seems to work fine. I had the wifi stability problem which I solved by following these instructions. I also have another problem: I can't enable swap nor CompCache.

I go to UrukConfig, click on the red word "down" beside CompCache, confirm that I want to start it, and it says "enabling blah blah... Done". But the service isn't running, and yes, I have refreshed the status of the tool. The same happens with swap. It says:

"Uruk-Swap: Enabling

1.0K

1.0K

1.0K

4.0K

blah

blah"

and the service is not running afterwards. I have enabled them on boot, but rebooting will not make them start. Finally, if I go to swap config, when I click on Cfg i get a balloon saying "Error - compcache settings not found !", and the default values for swap mem size and swappiness in the textboxes are 0, despite UrukConfig reporting Mem := 50 - Swappiness : 50 in the main screen.

Any help?

Here are some screenshots, in chronological sequence.

**REFRESH VIEW**

**REFRESH VIEW**

**ENTER SWAP CONFIG**
[Gen8 General] squirlier:
you haveto edit the Swap config file.

after installation or upgrade my config file was wrong. there is a line where you can set or enable a partition for swapping. in my case i had no partition. i use file mode.

so you have to put a # in this line to disable partition swap.

and enable the file mode. then everything worked for me.
[Gen8 General] RiggerofRiV:
For swap do what squirlier said. The path to the swapconfig is /etc/uruk.conf/swap. Further information you can find here http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/UrukService_SWAP

To enable compcache you have to reboot your device.
[Gen8 General] Black Antitoon:
Thank you both guys! This solved the problem, now it works!
[Gen8 General] BuhBuh-Ray:
I have a leather case with an integrated keyboard that I got from newmp3technology.com . Since installing Urukdroid, the keyboard does not work. I guess it's driver isn't included in the build. Any way I could install these or that they could be included in the next version ?
[Gen8 General] captin:
Me too. :) I thought it was a hardware problem, but when I booted into the original Archos Android the keyboard worked.

So far this is the only problem I've encountered with Urukdroid. :)
[Gen8 General] thedicemaster:
would it be possible to remove the large button panel, or resize it to 0 pixels?

i'd like to be able to play some games fullscreen, but i don't want to completely get rid of the small button panel.
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
Use Urukconfig and select hide soft button option
[Gen8 General] thedicemaster:
that hides the small button panel, i want the big one gone.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
No it hides the big one, after a reboot.
[Gen8 General] thedicemaster:
i have already tried it.

normally there's either a small one with search, home, menu, and back, and from the power menu you can switch to a big one with a D-pad.

using the hide softbuttons option hides the small one replacing it with notification-bar buttons, and you can switch to the big one from the power-menu.

i want to have the small one with just search, menu, home, and back visible by default, but if i use the button option in the power menu i want it to show no button panel instead of the big button panel with D-pad.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
You can't have both.

Life with the two options there are ( normal or notification ) because otherwise you have to get th sources from Archos and compile a diffferent option yourself.
[Gen8 General] pki101:
Today removed all Developer stuff from my Archos 101.

Had UrukDroid 1.0 installed, but it started couple weeks ago crashing right after reboot.. almost everything 'stopped responding and must be closed' and this includes bluetooth, wlan, google.calendar, market end so on.. can't remember everything.

Now installing again everything from scratch. :(

This time churi's version of rooted system.
[Gen8 General] dexter84:
Same here, Uruk became unstable. It isn't much better with churis root, I'm using it now. Both solutions suffer from instability on wakeup. Uruk is way more responsive and churis is eating up battery like crazy. Guess I'll head back to Uruk but I'm going to wait for new release.
[Gen8 General] *BlackMagic*:
few small problems

i cant see my network shares but as i go into folder it says not_allowed

on 1.0 it did work im on 1.1b3 now, any clue how to get them to work again?

also i cannot login to any twitter app

*twitter for android FC's

*tweetcaster says login failed

would be nice to get twitter working
[Gen8 General] pki101:
Strange.. but google maps wifi location works great at churis version, market looks strange. Maybe like old version, but works fine now..

Sauron said that wlan location is disabled all rooted systems.. not true.

Play flash video problem

I am facing a very strange problem in playing flash video.

When I use the archos 101 Urukdroid 1.0 to play a flash video, it can't play, or it is very slow with lag. But I can play it in FW 2.3.26 with better performance.

And in another country where the network maybe better, I can play the flash video well with Urukdroid 1.0.
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
mytv?:rolleyes:
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
no matter mytv, even youtube also got the same issue
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
In 1.1 (and stock 2.3.26) os does not use fusesmb but cifs. So enable (in 1.1+) CIFS service and use buildin config (or cifs manager apk) to mount network disk.

I have newer said that. It's working when you have "properly" signed apk (it's an installation issue). I never had a time to investigate it properly - probably because I dont use wifi location.

As stated here many times, to get your video and pictures in the std Apps they have to be indexed by the Mediascanner.

As that is not on by default in Uruk, you have to switch it on in UrukConfig.

I have .5 installed. This is an issue in both UrukDroid and the stock firmware (since 2.0.71). I can't lock the screen in portrait mode. Turning off auto-rotate always defaults to landscape. Issue occurs with third-party launchers too. I know others have had this issue too.

Is this fixable?
[Gen8 General] Tsusai:
I've never been able to do this even on stock Archos firmware, so I believe this is an issue caused by Archos in the initial development of the android OS.
[Gen8 General] elmerohueso:
Weird. I was able to do it up to 2.0.54. If some people have had a different experience, that sucks because inconsistent bugs make it harder to find the cause.

Thinking about it now I did, but on reboot (with Zeam) I had to rotate it to landscape then back to portrait because it acted silly.
