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?)

Thanks,

Bizcuite

I'm still suffering from frequent freezes. Is there a way to create permanent logfiles on external SDcard for post-freeze inspection?
aLogCat can save 'frequently' but I do not know if this is sufficient.

Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible today to see Digital TV using a DVB-T (listed as compatible) in Uruk 1.6.2. Cause I see my driver listed but cannot find any soft to download (LiveTV is not the one from chulri)... so, any ideas ?

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

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):

USB Audio Support
USB audio systems such as speakers normally comply with the USB audio class specification. If your audio device does not comply with the specification, it will not work with Linux at this time.

You need to turn on the Sound card support kernel option, which is in the Sound section. You will then be able to turn on the USB Audio support option in the normal USB section.

If you elected to use modules, you need to load the module called audio.o.

You can test your installation by dumping some random data out to the audio interface, using a command like cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp. USB audio is integrated into the normal Linux sound architecture, and most tools should work fine with USB speakers. See the Sound HOWTO for more details and suggestions.

USB sound devices (CONFIG_SND_USB) is enabled in Uruk kernel (built in - not module).

Thanks a lot

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?

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...

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...

Mavasilisk · Mar 17, 2012

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

Just update to uruk 1.6.4 No luck with installing apps issue!

athankar75 · Mar 18, 2012

Also with the new updated 1.6.4 file, no luck...

Unable to upgrade to 1.6.4

Dear all,

currently, I have installed UD 1.6.3 and wanted to upgrade to 1.6.4 due to the devicemapper bug. I downloaded the upgrade file and placed it in /data/UrukUpdate like usual, but then nothing happened. When I force update in UrukConfig, I can see a bzip2 process in top, but then nothing happens. There is no entry in /var/lib/urukdroid/update.log so I suspect the update script never starts.

Then I manually rebooted and saw UrukDroid 1.6.4 boot..., but the rootfs is still 1.6.3. How can I go back to a consistent state and redo the 1.6.4 update?

Cheers,
Reini

Never mind, just got it. /data/.tmp was pointing to /sdcard/.tmp. After removing this link the update worked as usual.

Broken screen Archos 101 with Urukdroid 1.6 access help

Hei,

I have broken my Urukdroid 1.6.1 Archos 101 screen and as it is too expensive to replace i would like to use it connected to my with HDMI. However I have a problem as my screen is totally smashed and HDMI is not turned on. Due broken screen I can not turn HDMI on.

I could turn on HDMI with adb or sshd but unfortunatly usb debbuging and sshd are switched off.

Also I have a wifi connection working for Archos. I can see ip is signed to archos in my home rooter configuration and ping the address but can not access device further.

If there is no other way I had and idea I could reinstall Urukdroid and before installation I would edit the Urukdroid installation packet to turn on sshd and USB debbuging so I could access device.

So if anybody countered similar problem and would be able to answer following questions it would be grate.

Questions:
1. Is there an easy way to turn on HDMI in Urukdroid with external mouse or keyboard (keyboard shortcut)?
2. Is there any other possibility to access Urukdroid without screen than
adb or sshd without doing modifications in Archos 101 configuration?
3. Can USB debuging be enabled in Urukdroid startup and if yes then how (sorry as this is not directly Urukdroid related but can not find this info in xda and google search)

Also I really be grateful if somebody with Archos 101 and SDK firmaware would post what are the exact moves needed to install Urukdroid blindly. As I have installed the SDK already I need just the part where Urukdroid packet is copied to device and installed. I have not got the screen so I need description lookinf like: boot power+volup -> 3 times voldown+power -> copy Urukpacket to device -> 2 times volup+ power -> etc.

Strange crash / reboot

Archos 10.1IT (G8, 16GB + 16GB)., UrukDroid 1.6.4
While watching a movie the device suddenly went poof! It rebooted, first UrukDroid boot (which I found a little slower than usual but actually I wasn't really paying attention), then the "Loading..." screen. After a while a slightly crippled desktop (am I allowed to say "desktop" on a tablet?) appeared. No icons, just the top bar. Immedeately following another "Loading..." and another crippled desktop, with icons but no soft keys, another "Loading..." and so on. All desktops were crippled to certain extents.
I pressed the power button for the adequate number of seconds and rebooted, first stock Android, flawless, and then rebooted UrukDroid, also flawless.

I have no idea what happened, and why it happened. Just want to let you know that it did happen.

How to activate USB DAC

Hi,

In a previous post (#827), $aur0n said that it was possible to use an external DAC:

USB sound devices (CONFIG_SND_USB) is enabled in Uruk kernel (built in - not module).

How can I do that ? If I connect my DAC to the USB via an OTG cable, the sounds continue to go via the normal output, and I have not found how to activate the sound output through the USB.

PS: By the way, $aur0n, I just send you 15$ for your new tablet (I mention it here since I cannot post to the developper thread since I'm new to this forum)

. And even if you choose to not buy a new one, thanks for urukdroïd, it is what convinced me to buy the Archos 43 IT.

It's just compiled as a kernel module, it will require to load it and probably do some alsa configuration - I haven't made it because I don't have any DAC device - just made it as requested bye someone.

Thx for donation! I'm still looking for that sh... screen digitizer :/ - but If I don't find it in week or two I'm considering buying new A70b (a70 like it always should be

).
