Thanks $aur0n, I think I'm getting close to getting my Xbox Original S controller working with my A101. OK so I read up on the XPAD documentation.

I was able to add JoyDev and Xpad to the boot process per your instructions.

I found that the following command is needed:

mknod /dev/input/js0 c 13 0

and that both .ko files are required to make this work:

> modprobe xpad

> modprobe joydev

> jstest /dev/js0

Can you please add jstest to the next update?

I need to still do some more testing for my USB issues with a wired keyboard/mouse,etc. If that is good then I may be nearing my goal.

Thanks again for your support and hard work.
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
I don't know if I understood your intentions right, but here is

jstest

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1017593/ArchosGEN8/UrukDroid-1.6/jstest

download it somewhere on Uruk, change it's rights (chmod a+x jstest) and voila.
[Gen8 General] 1of16:
got the same reboot-problem (but the joydev.ko is still in the folder) :( is there a solution?
[Gen8 General] kixs97:
Has anyone got joystick to work?

Edit:

After some googling...

It seems UrukDroid 1.6.4 has all the necessary modules. You just have to load joydev.ko (change permissions in the input devices, have installed Gamepad IME. Load emulator, change the Input method and reconfigure keys.

I used the GamepadImeMod that checks all the js* devices. My gamepad was actually js1. There are js0 to js3. GamepadImeMod probes all of them and since js2 and js3 aren't used gives an error - no such device. I just deleted these files and everything was ok - had to restart GamePadImeMod to reload files.

PS:

I have Archos 101 for over a year now and only now started to modify it.

Quick setup guide:

Needed:

UrukDroid 1.6.4 (it has all the necessary files, root, terminal...)

GamepadIME - or variations (mods) - have it checked in Android settings - Language & Keyboard

1. Run Terminal with root access:

su -

2. load joystick module:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/kernel/drivers/input/joydev.ko

3. connect your joystick/gamepad

4. change permissions:

chmod 777 /dev/input/js*

5. go to some text input field (Web browser) and press it till you get the Input method, tap it and change to GamepadIME. Now your joystick should be recognised. If GamepadIME rotates all the js* devices and you get errors: /dev/js2 no such device, then you need to delete them and restart GamepadIME (kill/start).

6. Run emulator, go to Options and set up alternative Input then reconfigure keys. Happy playing ;)

PS:

For some reason this isn't 100% perfect. Sometimes the /dev/js1 (if this is your gamepad) disappears and you have to reboot.
[Gen8 General] DainoManthis:
I don't understand how to install urukdroid.. can you help?

Can it works without it, just using gamepadime and joydev.ko?

Can I use gamepadime from store or some mod version?

I use Archos Arnova 7g2 with Rockchip 2918, Android 4.1.1 JB and 3.0.8+ Kernel

Stll not figuired it out

Hi to one and all,

Have tried to install the 'joydev.ko' module on my Zoostorm SL8 Mini Tablet but to know avile, I just keep getting is the following:

insmod: init_module 'joydev.ko' failed (Exec format error)

my tablet is rooted and am using RootBrowser + Terminal Emulator (in su mode.) Has anyone got any ideas as to what is going wrong.

Thanks for all and any help you may give
[Gen8 General] DainoManthis:
You need to insert a module compiled adhoc for your tablet.

I had the same problem, then I asked the maker of my custom rom to recompile the module by the source file and now I can insert it.. but it doesn't work correctly anyway. It recognizes the joypad but doesn't respond to commands.

[Nook Color General] Polydwarf:
This didn't seem like a dev forum type question, but my apologies if it is.

What are people's findings as far as standby battery life is concerned with custom roms?

I tried HC preview (1st edition, not 2nd) and was really unhappy with the battery life (10-20% usage per day while "asleep"). As I read the findings at the time, it was due to some issues in the preview image that didn't let the NC go all the way to sleep. I think v2 still has that issue, but I haven't had the time to really wade into that thread yet. :)

Nowadays, I'm running Nookie Froyo, and standby battery usage is much more on par with stock, which makes me a happy camper. Unlike some people, I hate having a cord attached to my NC; if I wanted to have something plugged in, I'd just get a laptop.

I'm not currently in a position to go changing roms out for testing (too much travelling atm), but I wanted to get an idea of other people's experience with standby times on their NC's with whatever firmware they happen to be running. I'm not looking for anything tremendously scientific, but more along the lines of using stock as a baseline... "My NC standbys about the same as stock" or "Really bad, compared to stock", instead of "It runs for 45 hours, 12 minutes, and 22 seconds, while stock runs for 68 hours, 37 minutes, and 19 seconds".
[Nook Color General] treofi:
On my nook (Froyo from here) the battery usage in standby is about 1% per hour. Most of the time my nook is running with 600 mhz and wifi of, maybe the usage is higher with other settings.

Btw, did you set up a profile for "screen of" in set cpu?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dawgtrix:
Is there any way to assign mp3s as a rintone? Any App that will allow diferent songs for different people or groups? I have the HTC Inspire and can't seem to find an app for that like I found for muy HTC Fuze. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
load mp3 on phone then use the excellent free Ringdroid app from the market to turn it into a ringtone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
You can assign mp3s as ringtones as long as they are not over 300kb. Mp3 Rintone Maker by luckyEva lets you download music then edit it. To assign a rindgone to a person just go into people>touch the person you want a ringtone for> and pick a ringtone for that person.

edit: you beat me to it gunny.
[HTC Inspire 4G] btdt13:
Zedge ringtones and wallpapers is a good place for stuff. Its in the market and free.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noodles5666:
Ringdroid is a free app that allows you to edit a full size mp3 to a 30 clip that you want
[HTC Inspire 4G] sugarcane:
i store all my custom ringtones here: On your SD card create folder media/audio/notifications/ringtones/alarms. put them all in the alarms folder. this also bypasses the 300kb for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I'm able to select any of my .mp3s as ringtones without an additional app. My mp3s do not have to be less than 300K. I just assigned Drake's "Best I Ever Had" (filesize - 5.91MB) mp3 to my fiance by opening my contacts, selecting her, scrolling down to "Ringtone", then it allowed me to select my music from my SD
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dawgtrix:
Do you have an Inspire? In the Inspire contacts are listed under "People", I tried edit and did not see ringtone option.
[Captivate General] XPLANE9:
I know this may sound far-fetched, but I am proposing a possible merger of developers from all the Galaxy S series. I know that the hardware may slightly differ, but apart from a led flash here, ffc, keyboard, and 4g, the hardware is the same. After all, 10+ devs are better than 1 or 2 per section. Perhaps a seperate subforum for devs or senior members only to create and test new roms can be created, members test with their own phones and report, and devs can collaborate.

I understand that some junior members may complain about beta bugs and such, but that is why I proposed a restricted area only to those who fully comprehend that a new rom does include bugs.

I know CM7 is such a project, but perhaps we should extend that scope to something beyond that, and utilize the advantage that Samsung has given us by 10 million sales.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Actually, you'd be surprised. A lot of the custom roms in the dev section are collaborative efforts, either directly by a group of people working on the same rom, or by one or two devs building a rom that includes resources built by others (think voodoo sound, lagfix, OC or reoriented kernels).
[Captivate General] Yuna:
Why don't build a kernel which detects on which hardware it runs - and so changes it's behaviour? aka universal kernel
[Captivate General] Dani897:
this was talked about in the earlier days but the board modes never made it happen, i know these guys get together by other means but i think it would be nice to see what was going on and where.

i poked around the fascinate forum a few times and those guys were having issues with voodoo ports. to the point that everyone was badmouthing it and claiming "real devs say it's useless..." im sure supercerio wouldn't appreciate that and might be promted to help those guys out in a better port(which im sure by now he has). it would be nice to see team whisky and team komin and other in direct competition and people like supercerio and eugene373 and hardcore and neldar and coolya all working in the same forum, imagine what might get done!

also the forums go by name not model which is confussing for canadian users. the telus guys are posting the the verizon forum instead of the tmobile and att forums where more stuff will cross over. there is a seperate forum for the mezmerize which is a fascinate, why? and there is no forum for the continuum or the indulge.

it is really all confused and screwed up, the forums should go by model number with names in parenthisis like GT-I9000/m/b/... (galaxy s,bell vibrant,...) and T959 (t-mo vibrant, telus fascinate)

or just one big forum labled galaxy s and threads can be have the aplicable phone in the title. i think the exposure to other phones will help people understand the differences and have less confusion, a bunch of verizon guys flashed telus firmware not understanding that it was a different phone even though the title said telus only. i think if they weren't so isolated they would understand that the phones aren't all the same, we would think that people who are flashing firmwares would know these things but unfortunately anyone can find this site on google.
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
That's exactly what I've been saying since I came to XDA. The dev's we have for the Galaxy S phones are amazing at what they've done. But publically at least, the main dev's seem to stay isolated working on their own projects.

I say this all the time, look at the Droid 1 developer's. There are like 30 prominent developers for that phone. And a lot of them are all working on projects together. We just don't seem to have the hype the Droid folks get.
[Captivate General] iXNyNe:
While I agree seeing devs share notes is awesome, I honestly don't think the users would keep up with the responsibility of flashing things made strictly for their phones (lot of noobs will flash the wrong thing and mess up their phones).

While some universal software sounds nice it also sounds very hard to achieve.

Also it seems to me like the main reason most of the big shots around here make anything at all is mostly to make something they like for themselves and happen to share for others to use and help find bugs and brainstorm new ideas. This is awesome especially when they share source because it creates variety for the end users and allows other development to see things they might not have thought of and maybe even improve on someone else's idea.

Plus think about this;

I'm on a captivate with a js3 rom (i9000 based I believe) so maybe an i9000 could flash it but maybe not because its been modded for the cappy

Same with my kernel, reoriented i9000 kernel set up for captivates.

Could you imagine the naming structure of threads for this kind of stuff? I hardly think anyone would want to sort through all that to find a rom, kernel, modem, and whatever else that all match up nicely.

I do think a forum for devs only focused on the entire galaxy s series is a good idea, they can all see what each other are doing and maybe use that knowledge to help their own projects.

I also agree that the current forums for certain devices not existing and others being duplicates is a little silly, but someone just complained about the telus users posting in Verizon forums instead of tmo/att so where would you like to draw the line?

Also half of the galaxy s series was made for GSM and the rest cdma (not all devices are created equally) so even at some of the most basic levels these devices can be different, I doubt a fascinate modem would work for me but I have no issues trying a vibrant modem once in a while.

Again, the ideas you stand for are great but I don't see it being accomplished very easily.
