Time is a big issue. I have a very busy job which consumes 60 hours and more a week. Then I also have a family.
Rushing out an update isn't good IMO ... I atleast want todo some initial testing which takes time so be patient.
Crow release candidate 1 is coming, but I don't set a date on it yet.

Life is more important than bull ;-)
I tried to set up a build environnement in order to provide update (I wan't to help but I don't know how to code) but I failed ><
I will try again when I'll have time but exams are approching so...
Well it was working fine till I installed Titanium Backup and restored some games and apps that are not on the market with GB, but are with froyo.
Now it just freezes again after so long. I'm wondering if installing the market could be the problem here. Tomorrow I'll try a fresh install using 1 gig image and not install the market as it says to do, and try titanium backup then...
Could be interesting or not... We shall see

Hope to see some awesome new fixes and probably new features (why not). Just the flash player crash makes me not to permanently switch to OpenAOS Bull.
so reinstalled the 1 gig image on 250 HD version for the A70. Did not install the market as per se, and was happy browsing the internet for 30 minutes before everything just crashed and FC popups everywhere every 2 seconds. Hard reset and loaded up default Froyo, all is fine.
Now rebooting back into Bull.
37 minutes later Force closes all over the shop, process.acore has stopped unexpectedly, ADW Launcher has stopped etc. So maybe the google apps need to be installed yes, as there were a few google errors also.
Will report back tomorrow with any success

I will give the setting a try - out on business for most of this week so not likely to have much time to try.
I can try and get my image put up on my box.net account when i get back if anyone wants to try it - again not likely to be until next week due to work and the weekend.

Can you make it to be installed instead of being pasted in the storage folder? I think if its installed it will skip the slowness when the device starts. Don't take it the negative way, just throwing ideas.
Here is a link to an unofficial, unsupported build I did a week or so ago.

If there are problems or issues, then you will have to wait for the official release from DivX118.

I will give it a try now. What things did you work on in this release?
EDIT: It hangs on OpenAOS logo after I select Gingerbread.

I have done no changes at all - I haven't got my head round coding in android yet(am a windows developer) - all i did was download the code and compile it.
Cant say I have tried using it as an Image file as copied the contents of the .img to a partition and boot from there - works fine on my A70S

What did you mean by saying that you copied the contet to a partition? Is it like installed Bull or stil the same?
It doesn't matter if you run it from a partition like ArcSmurf/CalcProgrammer does or the way we do it from an image file. There will be no speed improvements.
So what you call "installed" will not be faster then our image file.
There are some other benefits running it from a partition, however for now we do not support it yet. If there is no one click installer for most windows users it will be hell for us to explain what they need todo to get it working.

I got on question.
Yesterday I followed all instructions to install the 0409 release. I was already running Urukdroid so I formated the device without uninstall sde.
Everything went fine but my 101 is hugely slow, drawer, browser, in one word everything.
I tried one more install but nothing changed...
Before installing should I upgrade stock firmware or is it not necessary (running a quite old archos fw)?
Maybe should I restart all install process after having the tablet totally wiped? (Uninstall SDE, format everything, upgrade stock fw)
Any help would be great.
Thx

Upgrading stock firmware after format isn't necessery. The steps I do are: uninstall SDE, format the device, upload SDE, upload the kernels and continue by placing the required Bull files in the root of the storage.
I formated the device now and upgraded to 2.4.83.
Going to give it a go now and see if everything's better
Thanks

You dont have to upgrade the stock firmware when you format the device if you are going to use the SDE (Urukdroid or OpenAOS's Bull or other release) because any of this custom ROMs carries stock firmware itself. As I posted above I skip this part. It isnt must if you arent going to use it or you can put it to make sure "Ya dat workz" and also you can uninstall the stock firmware after you check it out and if u like the custom one. The device will always boot in SDE without having to hold the volume button each time you restart the device.

33A new release is ready the final Degu.
For both gen7/8 you will need to flash the latest zImage and initramfs included in the download links. <-- not needed if you already have flashed the latest with Crow. no changes in kernel or initramfs for Degu release.
Also to be sure you will need to delete your data.img and let it create a new one or copy your own if you use an image more then 256mb.
For setting up your device look here http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread

If it works well or you have issues you can also leave a reply.
BTW camera should partly work on gen8, tested on a 101IT taking photos. Video recording will freeze the app. Not tested with apps that use the cam only with the included camera app.
A43IT has a different camera, so I don't know if it will work.
Thanks,

Degu final (27-01-2013)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog:
- Smoother youtube video playback for gen8
- More apps in the market available for gen7 and gen8 (also thanks to utopik for this)
- Internal storage should now properly display free available memory for gen7 and gen8
- Fixed bookmark for gapps in the browser for gen7 and gen8
- Overal speed improvement.
Unfortunately you will need a fresh data.img to let these fixes take effect.
Crow final (25-12-2012)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First don't forget to flash he new zImage (kernel) and initramfs it is in the archive kernel_gen7_20120512_114451.tar.gz for gen7 and kernel_gen8_20120409_002900.tar.gz for gen8 unpack it (with winrar if you are on windows) and only use "zImage" and "initramfs.cpio.gz"
Changelog see http://www.openaos.org/archives/821
Bull final (09-04-2012)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First don't forget to flash he new zImage (kernel) and initramfs it is in the archive kernel_gen7_20120512_114451.tar.gz for gen7 and kernel_gen8_20120409_002900.tar.gz for gen8 unpack it (with winrar if you are on windows) and only use "zImage" and "initramfs.cpio.gz"
Only for gen7: If you flash the new kernel and initramfs also delete the old menu.lst when it is there. If you have custom lines in there add them later after you first booted in the new menu.lst that is created.
Only for gen8: If you first boot the image it happens sometimes that omap_vout isn't loaded correctly this means it can't create the overlay for playback video and uses the software renderer. If you just reboot it is ok. It only happens atleast to me on the very first boot.
Some improvements first the kernel and initramfs:
- Correct orientation of the bootmenu for A101IT
- Updated the kernel with latest archos GPL release which means that the ones with broken USB host on their A101IT it gets working again when booting stock through the bootmenu.
- For gen7 updated initramfs to match the one from gen8
- Added unionfs support, so you can have root with rw access on stock android.
Improvements on Gingerbread:
- smoother camera because of using the overlay to display the stream. Known issues: - display is cropped so you don't see the whole camera - Recording still doesn't work.
- Youtube app works.
- Hardware accelerated video for atleast youtube app and some mp4 files, maybe more if someone can test some different formats that would be nice. Rotation does work for youtube app, there are still some issues when rotating playing a regular mp4.
- On gen8 you can also play hw accelerated flash videos in the browser now, of course not all pages will work.
- wifi location should work now. <-- same for gen7
- Fix not enough storage when installing apps by moving /cache also to the data.img. <-- same for gen7
- Update to latest CM code. <-- same for gen7
RC2 (24-12-2011)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will be the final Bull release or there must be some major bugs discovered in the next few days.
There is now a new feature added (thanks to illifant). The data is now in a separate image "data.img" if it is not there it will be auto created. 256 MB is standard. You can replace it with a bigger one from the download link gen8_data.img.tar.bz2.
If you unpack with for example winrar you see three images 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB just pick a size and copy that to the root of your archos. Rename it to "data.img"
As mentioned you don't have todo this if you want to use 256MB that will be created automaticly.
All your data, apps and gapps are in data.img. So on a next upgrade you won't have to reinstall everything again.
Also the size of the actual image is reduced, for gen7 it is 180MB and for gen8 256MB.
Don't forget to flash the new zImage (kernel) and initramfs it is in kernel_gen7_20111224_181411.tar.bz2 for gen7 and kernel_gen8_20111224_213037.tar.gz for gen8 unpack it with winrar and only use "zImage" and "initramfs.cpio.gz"
(if not specified otherwise the fixes are for gen7 and gen8)
Gingerbread Image:
- Deep sleep improved, however to work properly keep adb disabled. (it is now disabled by default.)
- Charging A43 for USB and wall charger is fixed (gen8)
- External sd-card is now mounted on /mnt/storage/sdcard (same as on archos firmware).
- Updated with latest CM code.
- New modules from updated kernel build (gen8)
- Other small fixes see the closed tickets.
zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz:
- Initramfs script updated, if it fails it will now display an error message instead of just rebooting.
- Kernel updated to latest archos firmware (2.4.81) kernel (gen8)
RC1 (06-11-2011)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somethings that are changed since anoa release:
(if not specified otherwise the fixes are for gen7 and gen8)
- Fixed headphone speaker switch
- partly camera working for atleast A101IT I think also A70, don't know for A43IT because it has a different cam. (gen8)
- Fixed permission errors when using ext3 formatted internal memory
- Fixed some browser crashes. Due to using v8 javascript engine again instead of jsc
- Fixed crash when going to browser settings
- Fixed deep sleep which should be working now.
- Fixed mounting/unmounting external sdcard.
- Calibration app included for A32 and A43. (Under settings)
- Updated to latest CM code
- Kernel updated to latest sources from archos firmware 2.4.65
- Fixed correct rotation for A101, only bootmenu is still upsidedown.
- GPS working for gen7 devices
- some other small things
Tips:
1) Playing youtube videos on CM fail with standard player http://pastebin.com/YAZc0z74 , but can be done with mobo player or mx player by using for example opera mobile and setting the user agent to desktop.7
It seems I solved the cracking sound by patching the standby function in the alsa module. http://dev.openaos.org/ticket/223
As always it will be in the next release, which will hopefully follow soon.
