Hi, I just installed Urukdroid 1.0 on my 101, I also successfully installed the market using the tbz file that is found in the Urukdroid wiki page in the way it described. Now everything was (and is) going great apart from one thing, the online market (market.android.com) no longer recognizes my device and so I can no longer use it at all. I was looking for adw.launcher in the market app and couldn't find it among the clutter so thought I'd find it easier on the browser market. Found it but can't install now...

Any advice? I tried searching for an answer, couldn't find anything on the matter.

Hi,

Posted this in the urukdroid topic, but I guess questions should be posted here

New Archos 101 owner here, looking to install Urukdroid.

I do have some questions since I am new to all this.

First of all, the reasons why I would like to install Urukdroid, and am hoping that this will be a fix for these issues:

1) when connecting my desire via usb to archos 101 (to read my phone's SD card) I get immediatly the "ready to remove external disk" message and cannot mount the phone as external storage (I have the same issue with an usb card reader) => will this work with Urukdroid?

2) When I plug my canon powershot camera into the archos 101 usb, it recognises my camera (message "external camera connected" or something like that) but when I look into the folder, it's empty... it doesn't show my pictures stored on the camera's sd card => will this work with urukdroid?

3) I've let my archos 101 charging overnight a couple of times but it never reaches 100% (more like 95%), I've gotten some feedback that apparently this is due to the latest firmware, will I have this issue with urukdroid?

4) In general I've read that Urukdroid is suppose to be faster then stock and should have better battery performance, is this correct?

Secondly, the installation itself:

I want to have the best situation possible, meaning a complete install from scratch (I don't need to keep existing /data partition).

I also would like to install on my internal storage (I don't have an SD card lying around and I've read from some people that urukdroid seems faster on internal storage, is this correct? )

I guess I should go for the Advanced => Install To Internal Storage => Format and create new partitions option right? Can someone tell me the best partitions sizes (default - 512MB & 1GB)?

Thank you!

Just flashed UrukDroid 1.0 on my A101.

When I load in to Uruk after about 10 seconds I get a "Sorry! Process system is not responding" and after about 20 seconds I goes back to the "Loading..." screen. This happens constantly and I can't seem to get it to stop.

Also of less concern....my boot screen is messed up where the picture is not centered on the screen....

EDIT: After rebooting a few times, the boot loop stopped and everything seems fine. Still have the issue with the boot screen though...not necessarily a show stopper but definitely takes away from the awesomeness that is UrukDroid....
[Gen8 General] davemon:
I'm having trouble installing urukdroid too, on an A70 8GB. Using v. 1.0 easy install advanced to internal storage, using defaults of 512 and 1GB for data. Everything goes fine until I get to the install framework part and I copy UrukDroid-install.tgz to the Archos it keeps saying to copy proper file , etc. I've re-downloaded it and tried again but no luck.... It currently has the sde and rooted version 2.1.08 (chulri's method) installed if this makes a difference. My main reason for rooting is to be able to increase app space which I can't do without Uruk, so if anyone has an idea where I'm going wrong please help! Any ideas?

Edit:

Had to format device and reload sde then stock firmware then urukdroid installed fine. It didn't like the rooted 2.1.08 I had on there and wouldn't install. Working great now with plenty of app space!!!!

Now, if only I could block ads ...adfree doesn't work for me....
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
@davemon

I had installed @aur0n's UrukDroid 1.0 on my ARCHOS 101 by this step.

1. Re flash Archos's official Firmware again.

2. Flash initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage from SDE boot menu

2. Installation UrukDroid 1.0 framework (Advanced method on internal storage,

Format and create new partitions)

3. Install UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2 package --> upload to /data/UrukUpdate/)

4. Install UrukConfig.apk

I'm very happy with Permanent Root, 1GB apps storage.
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
@aur0n

At this time I had upgraded to UrukDroid 1.1 RC 1 + UrukConfig 1.1.1 already. But my device (A101) could not Enable Compcache (Error running command), CpuGovernor Enabled - OK, Swap Enabled - OK

I want to test Backup/Restore but could not Reboot in Rescue Mode.

After press on "Reboot in Rescure Mode" button the message popup "Change done! You must reboot to take it in account reboot Now!" tap "Yes" - hold volume button down -- It go to Archose A101IT - Boot Menu but no backup/restore feature in Rescue Menu

Last question If I delete Android do it have effect with UrukDroid? (No need multi-boot)

Thank you very much.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
Thanks jakkrith, I will try to reflash it to official firmware again before I start the Urukdroid install.....

So I formatted the A70 and reloaded the sde then the stock firmware and then urukdroid installed fine!!! Apparently it didn't like the rooted 2.1.08 I had on there and wouldn't install. Working great now with plenty of app space!!!! Thanks!
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Press the volume key after the Archos screen, not before it, to get to the Urukdroid recovery menu. Doing it before gets you into the Archos recovery menu. (I think restore is still disabled, backup only. Maybe wrong though.)

You can delete the stock android through the archos recovery menu without affecting urukdroid. You won't have to select Developer Edition anymore.
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
@msticninja

Thank you very much for your suggestion at this time i can Reboot in Rescue Mode and done backup already. :D
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Both backup and restore are functional in 1.1RC1. Please take a look at this manual: http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/RescueMenu

Camera still not working in RC1.1! what to do?
[Gen8 General] Solevis_FR:
I just tested and I have not encountered any problems with the camera.
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
Yes, I have agree with you. No any problem with carera. I have just test it too.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
Has anyone been able to replace the hosts file with rootexplorer?
[Gen8 General] Solevis_FR:
I just copy the hosts file from my PC to UrukDroid using Root Explorer without problem.
[Gen8 General] SamSan:
I am getting following error when I open Camera.

Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding.

Help me out..

Camera in stock version is also not working after installing UrurkDroid 1.1
[Gen8 General] davemon:
If you don't mind expanding.....did you email from PC and download the hosts file to the archos and then copy it over to /etc. or did you copy to archos via usb directly to /etc.?

I had tried doing it when rooted with churli's method and it wouldn't work with root explorer. I just installed urukdroid and want to try again to replace hosts file. Thanks for your time.
[Gen8 General] Solevis_FR:
1. adb push /etc/hosts /sdcard

2. with Root Explorer "Copy" the hosts from sdcard to "/etc"
[Gen8 General] SamSan:
Frequent restarts is the big problem... A70IT restarts every 5 to 10 minutes.... Its crazy.. Its unusable.! I am so sorry to say that...
[Gen8 General] sibere:
Keep in mind that 1.1 RC is a RC, not 100% stable by definition.

Do you have those restarts with 1.0 ?

My A70S is rock stable running 1.0+ own kernel.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
Cool, thanks. Just copied it in urukdroid with rootexplorer and it worked like a charm!!! Must have been the old root method I used that was preventing it from working......
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
I posted this in the main thread, but I guess it really belongs here:

I don't really see any reason to boot into the stock OS ever again. So here are my questions:

- why wouldn't I want to just install UrukDroid to the internal storage in place of the stock system?

- if I were to do that, could I recover back to stock by doing a wipe and reinstall of an Archos firmware?
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
You can. I used to, but it's a pain. Block 1 is only accessible in the Archos, not through any PC connections, so it means you have to do all the partitioning and copying on the Archos itself, then flash a new initramfs once you have all the data in the right places.

Also, the whole block on my 101 is only about 550MB, and you can't touch mmcblk1p1 or you WILL brick your device, so you only have about 450MB to play with. I used to be able to fit the system AND data partition on it, but now I feel that 1GB is the minimum for each partition, so I use internal storage and keep my SDcard free for removal when needed.
[Gen8 General] willowave:
Seriously...why does it have to be this hard to install Google Apps? I've done this procedure instructed 5 times now, using terminal etc, and it's not taking. This is more work than the installation itself.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
What's so hard?

On UrukDroid copy one file to /data/UrukUpdate and wait.

Done.
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
In other words, it's possible but not really worth the trouble?
[Gen8 General] willowave:
lol well obviously if it worked like that I wouldn't be here complaining. I did that.

I've followed both directions for terminal and the file manager. I can try to move it, or copy it, but it won't let me paste it.

I'm trying now to see if my paths on terminal are right.

Cisco vpn with vpnc problem

I can't seem to get connected to my Cisco vpn at work with A70 and Uruk 1.0. Connects ok on iPhone. I modified the sample conf and saved it as archos.conf and when I start it in urukdroid config it says started successfully but still says down instead of running…I know it's using the conf file cause when I changed it to try and use psk2 it said its not a valid option...

Has anyone connected successfully to a Cisco vpn with Uruk vpnc?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
@willowave:

If you can't paste it you either don't have enough space or you don't have root.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Yah ;) I did :D

Best method is probably do it on Linux machine (vpnc is exactly the same there) - when it will work, copy config file. I said it's easiest on Linux because you have keyboard and network connection looses won't brake your connection like on tablet.

But of course you could also use USB/adb connection (or terminal with soft keyboard).

Anyway - if it's not working, start if from shell/terminal and see real output. Check dmesg.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
You ROCK man!!! Not only did you write this KILLER software for our Gen 8 devices, but you are here answering questions for us too!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Got vpnc installed and got connected on my Ubuntu box. Gonna try the .pcf file from that ! Thanks again!

media search not working wright

I have put music on archos 101 but it doesnt show up in music player, also uruk droid media search is enabled during start up but after media search is finished it doesnt find and new media
[Gen8 General] SamSan:
Mine was not stable, it restarted many times with 1.0 also.. But with 1.1, my archos went crazy restarted more than 50 times in just less than 1 hour.

I rolled back to 1.0... :mad:
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
Please suggest me how to roll back to 1.0?
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Hi,

got my Archos 101 since Tuesday- flashed UrukDroid 1.0 - but i face several problems:

Since i got several services running in backround im trying to set up compcache/swap.

1. But each time i enable compcache (64/60, reboot) my device gets ugly unstable (many fc and waing for app - messages) - any solutions?

2. So i tried to set up swap (128/50) - since it didnt start up i edited the /etc/uruk.conf/swap to file and commented the pertition line.

But sady it still wont start up even i enable the service and reboot - any ideas - is there a log somewhere (btw i also cant find the swap file through my explorer - seems it doesn't get created at all)?

Otherwise: anyone can tell me how to set up partition for swap? - im just working once a while with linux syses)

3. Still got the problem of connecting to Win7 SMB Shares - searched the inet a lot for it - but didnt find any good solution without loosing my whole security - anyone knows how to fix this to be able to use default video player app with smb shares?

Greetings

FrEcP

Download the above file... and Update the device same as you did for RC 1.1..
[Gen8 General] sibere:
I don't use compcache and I'm using archos 32Mb dedicated partition for normal swap (mmcblk0p3 if I'm not mistaken).

I set cpu scaling to interactive with setcpu and disabled uruk's "on demand" setting too.

My launcher is launcher pro; and I never had a single soft reboot since I flashed my v10 kernel.
[Gen8 General] amapi:
Strange problem for me.

Hardware: Archos 101IT 8Go + SDHC 8Go Class 4 (Emtec).

Archos Firmware 2.3.26

Root: SDE installed + http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197

I use easy install of urukdroid 1.0, everything goes Ok until last reboot.

Arrived urukdroid splash screen, while there is "Loading ..." (and the 3 dot lighting), nothing else happend.

It stuck on loading ...
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
Try again with another card, last time my Kingston class 2 not like to run it and stuck at same place, but another Sandisk class 4 run without any problem.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
So I was able to connect with vpnc on my ubuntu box by creating a vpn connection with the network manager applet. Problem is, I don't have permissions to open the etc/vpnc folder so I can't copy the .conf file and send it to my A70 to use there.

So, I used the Export feature in the network manager applet and exported the settings to a pcf file and tried using that on the A70 and it doesn't work.

Edit: Ok, just found some info that I think will solve my problem. I will have to try it when I get back to my ubuntu box.

Does the below info make sense if profile is called img? Of course I would copy and paste it instead of edit it...

sudo nano /etc/vpnc/img.conf and then use Nano to edit it. If you do

it the graphical way we've been talking about, you'd run the gksudo

nautilus or kdesu konqueror command and a file browser window will pop

up (with Root/administrator privileges just in that window). You'd

browse to /etc/vpnc and find the file called img.conf. You'd click to

open it, edit it, close it, and close the browser window, and it would

be done.
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
Thank you very much but I could not download fire from above link.
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
Thank you very much for this method. I had tried about 8 hours and I had never found self reboot problem any more.
[Gen8 General] davemon:
Ok, used gksudo and able to get into etc/vpnc folder but only .conf file in there is example.conf

Showed hidden files too. I already created a vpn connection with the network manager applet called Img and it works. Where could the img.conf file be if it's not in the etc/vpnc folder? Its got to be somewhere if it connects and works right ?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
You have to read where this manager stores config file - it can be anyware since starting connection requires only to call "vpnc-connect" with config file name.

So you could probably connect on linux with your network manager, and then check with "ps -ef | grep vpnc" what is the file name (but it may not work this way - probably better is to read manual).
[Gen8 General] willowave:
I apologize cuz I have searched all over on here for this; but my wireless keeps disappearing and when I try to turn it back on, it says error. it worked fine for awhile, and then it just did it again when I rebooted. Anybody point me in the proper direction to fix this?
[Gen8 General] bluenadas:
I belive this is a known bug on the latest version....only a restart will solve the problem at this time...

[Gen8 General] willowave:
ok, so I have soo many problems with the installing the google apps I don't understand it. By clicking on the link in my browser on my archos (like instructed) I get a bunch of garbled code, no download. If I try to get it from megaupload, I am running into issues with either my wireless fails, or "incorrect format, unable to download"?....help?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Not only click the link, long click and "save link".
[Gen8 General] willowave:
is there any reason not to side load it or is there a version you can side load? I'm running into wireless issues every other minute here. I can't get anything downloaded.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
what are you talking about?

You are constantly increasing the number of things, instead of doing one thing at a time.

1. Fix the WLan problem. For me it was by installings Siberes #10 Kernel.

You go into "Urukdroid - Developer only" Thread, got to post 1311 ( Page 132 ) and download the kernel.zip.

As you only can use this from a PC you have to download it from there.

After that unpack the zip, and flash the two files via SDE, and boot into uruk.

After that go to http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid select Installation and scroll down.

and longpress on UrukDroid-GoogleMarket_1.0.tbz2, select "save link".

It asks for a name, just do ok.

After the download is finished, start RootExplorer or another Filemanager that lets you navigate to /data/UrukUpdate and move the downloaded file there.

Wait until it is finished with automatic install.

Done.
[Gen8 General] stigslim:
Hi peeps, been trying to install with no luck :( so here i go.Getting the error

UrukBoot 0.7 Boot ERROR: Failed to mount rootfs /dev/sda2 (255)

UrukBoot 0.7 Boot ERROR: Repairing rootfs finished. Please reboot...

Have looked it up on this thread and there seems to be no definative answer so i thought i would ask again to see if the problem was resolved and if so how?.Thanks in advance for any help.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
"UrukBoot 0.7"???????

We are aproaching 1.1 and you try to use 0.7?

The process of installing Uruk 1.0 is so simple and easy that i don't unstand what you have don.

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation

It really is easy.

Ah, i see /dev/sda2.

Why didn't you tell us you are using the A70H, the hdd version?

This is important as no 0.7 version is working there.

Try 1.0.
[Gen8 General] stigslim:
I can tell you what was going wrong.The mem card i was using was the problem.I changed it to another and hey presto it worked :D.The only other question i have is how to upgrade to the latest version?, and where i can get it from?.Oh and can i swap my mem card for another or do i have to keep this one in now?.
[Gen8 General] willowave:
And you're telling me it's supposed to be a .txt file? Because when I follow exactly what you say to do, thats what I get, is a .txt file.

Which...I've done this more than a few times, and I've never installed google apps through a .txt file.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
No, it is only a textfile if you download the Market via the PC and don't know what you are doing(sorry, pun intended).

But i meant to download the kernel via PC, the Market then from the tablet.
[Gen8 General] willowave:
I did exactly as you said...with the market. I got the kernel just fine which is why I didn't include it in the quote. I'm not a complete noob, I've done this before a few times. Kernel is installed and working fine. I never needed help installing the kernel, I just hadn't done it yet. I wasn't aware that the #10 kernel helped with the wifi disappearing, I thought it only helped with the reboots, and I wasn't running into that yet.

Like I said about the market.

When I download the gapps, from the link you gave....in the browser, ON the tablet, after long press and save link, it saves it as a text file.

And I've tried it 3 or 4 different times , all with the same output.

So...

Like I said, I know it's not supposed to do that. I know it's not supposed to be a text file. I know you can't install a text file.

So. Obviously the procedure, for whatever reason isn't working.

I need another way to install the google apps so I can get my market.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
That seems highly unlikely. I just checked the link, and downloaded it on windows, linux, and android. None of them renamed it to a text file. Anyways, remove the .txt and add .tbz2, then copy it to /data/Urukupdate.

Or use Arctools. Or use Kenyu's GApps Installer V5.
[Gen8 General] willowave:
I know it seems highly unlikely, especially when it's a 3 mb .txt file. But it is. When I try to open it it asks me if I want to open it with a text editor. I'm not imagining it. I'm just wondering why in the world it's doing that. It's a brand new install, nothing has been installed or changed, so I didn't do anything different. I didn't know if Kenyu's would still work, or if there was some reason why I shouldn't use it. Thats why my initial post was asking if I could side load the gapps.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Sorry, didn't mean I didn't believe you, just a very unlikely situation, not unlikely that you are telling the truth. ;)

Like I said, renaming the file to .tbz2 should work, but I prefer using Arctools from Appslib(I think it installs the gapps to a better location than Kenyu's, and it's provided by archos, and it has more apps, and more recent versions of the apps), but both should work.

I have succesfully downgrade from 1.1 to 1.0.

No reboots anymore:), but the soft buttons didn't appeared. Is there a solution to get back the original soft buttons? Button savior is a good alternative but I want back the original buttons.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Undo the changes you made to hide the buttons in the first place. I don't know which method you used.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Did you have reboots or "soft resets" (restart of UI only)? Because of this "soft resets" 1.1 is still RC only :/
[Gen8 General] jm123:
I made no changes to hide the buttons...
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
There's only two ways to remove them. Editing the /data/local.prop or the /system/board_properties. I don't know why they would have been changed by updating.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
I had one of each actually... It's seems the nomadic wifi soft-reset is mostly fixed though. I would've had 40-50 soft-resets by now on .26 or Uruk1.1, and I've only had 1 on .81.

Market reverting

I've just reinstalled Urukdroid 1.0 and have installed market via Arctools. It updates to the latest version of market. Everytime I reboot my A 70 market reverts back to an old version of market.

Anyonelse who has experienced this? Is there a way around it??

Thanks beforehand
