Release candidate bull archos gen8 CM7 - Gen8 General

Hi,
I would like to reply on the Dev Thread, but I'm not allowed to do it...
I installed the Mod. with no Problems.
Here my experience with it :
- for the First Time since I have my Archos 101 (1 Year), I can go to deep Sleep
On Stock or Uruk, I never had it. That's great !
- the UI is very responsive, better then Stock
- I installed the Market, did the Fix, but there is a lot of missing Appz.
- there is a strange Noise after a few Minutes in Standby and after Wake up. I don't know what it is, never heard it before. The Noise sounds like "Klack"
- Is there a possibility to remove the Phone Things, like the Icon for Phone Net ?
Bye

The market fix, indeed doesn't work. We will take care of this in the future.
The popping noise is when the device goes to sleep and comes out of it. For testing it is a nice thing to have when it keeps popping I know something is getting it out of sleep. However it shouldn't do that, so we see what we can do about it.
We were looking at those phone related things, but where afraid to remove it right now. We don't know yet if it will brake some other things if we remove it.

Hi Divx118,
thank you for your reply and, of course, the great work.
I have new Info: to boot Uruk from the AnoaBoot, I made some changes in Uruk.
The first Time I made a mistake, so I had to do all from Beginning.
After that Uruk works fine, and after Boot CyanogenMod (new), the Market was Installed (I think the Prev. Downloaded Zip was still there), and it Updates itself.
I did not the market fix and there is a lot more Appz.
For the Phone things, for me it will be enough, if I can remove the Icon in the statusbar.
Bye

Yes, if the zip is still there it will unzip and install to /system/app on boot. The phone related things will be looked at in the next release.

@nicusasch:
What changes did you do in Uruk, to get it running from Multiboot?

Hi Fzelle,
I found a Howto here in the Forum, I didn't have the Link, but I have a Word Docx, where I copied it in :

It needs to be installed in /system/app folder and it takes a min or two to launch first time you run it.Everything works exept customize menu gets fc's because it needs some other file from Acer's system dump.To make this short to all devs reading this can ya make all the features work?And maybe include it in roms as an option,im sure its not that hard to fix.I find this launcher unique and very useful,and begining to like it more than twiz.

I went ahead and downloaded the app..but becuase of differing opinions on the feasibility and safety in removing or changing those 2 .apk files...im a bit reluctant to actually use it. Anyone have any wordds of wisdom one way or another?

It's a good app but i worry cannot update to 3.1 after root it. So wait for Honeycomb 3.1. Thanks for sharing
is thera any other way to disable cell stanby? not buying this app?

Well, I did the same thing - downloaded then changed my mind and uninstalled. It's nothing more than renaming the telephony.provider and phone apk's so why pay - you need to be rooted to use it anyway so why not just rename them?
BUT - there's a big issue if you need to do a hard reset and also, you will not be able to get the update because as we know, the updating procedure checks for completeness of all the apps - if any are missing, it won't install.
I'm waiting for Acer to fix this (actually it's a Google problem since many other tablets have this issue).
Convenience, maybe?
It's quick, don't have to mess with remounting /system to read/write. And when it's time to take that update, just run it again and click "Enable" and they are back to normal. After an update, you can disable them again, if they haven't fixed the battery drain issue.

I have a way that seems to work for me... I downloaded power widget, made 2g/3g toggle, clicked it, then unchecked everything. (Doesn't delete or rename anything) and my tablet no longer wastes battery on cell standby

Hiding virtual keys (reframe method) and UD 1.5b3

So I just updated to UD 1.5b3. This reset my settings back to having the double sized notification bar, which annoys the crap out of me, so I used Reditus2's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114069
I used this method for UD 1.0 and it worked wonders. After running this on 1.5b3 however I am now unable to boot up as usual (can still get to recovery mode and thus was able to fix, but wanted to share this). I get as far as the UrukDroid Loading... page, trys to load for about 5-10 seconds, goes black for about 1 second, and then shows the Loading page again. I have allowed it to sit on this screen for 10+ min to no avail. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to keep UD 1.5b3 without having the huge notification bar. Also wanted to give Reditus2 a chance to see this and maybe there's just an update needed to the scripting to resolve this.
I had the same problem with rc1
i gave up on reframing
at least the bar disapear when you lunch a full screen app
I'll try as well - but right, full screen works at least.
working like a charm for me on UD 1.5

Did update went ok? What has the message on top of the bar during update? What messaged you have seen during startup of device?
Anyway best/fastest/easiest etc. way is to restore rootfs from backup (RescueMenu) if you had one. Second is just to do quick reinstall of rootfs (your data will stay untouch).
@$auron:
As i never use it the search button, is there any chance of switching it off?
And wouldn't be 32 px a better solution, as normally everything alligned to 4 or 8 gets better scaled and painted on normal devices?
Otherwise, nice.

Hmm I've started with 28px but it looked a bit too small. I can try 32. I also don't use search button at all. I'll remove it...

Thank you very much for your quick answer. My update went ok, at the end of it on the top bar the message told me to reboot the device. But while rebooting my device (A43) freezed with the above message: UrukDroid 1.5 boot: switching to rootfs...
As I hadn't a backup I did a quick reinstall and now it seems to work well!

How long did you wait?
I remember the first time I updated the framework with Fisha21's one, it took a while to boot up on the first boot. Apparently android was rebuilding the dalvik cache with the new framework.

32px height buttons, I've also made them shorter - 70px instead of 80px. Sadly removing search is not so easy (I don't know if I will have time to look further).

Thanks for trying.
Don't hurry.

Yes (I still use ButonSavior - even with buttons on top, because they can disappear on some apps) - but less universal..
ps. I know where to remove search button (or any other) but system refuses to accept new framework - probably once again this ****ty certificates issue !
Thanks aur0n, the button package works great! !!!
@$auron
32px work better, as now batterie and wifi are next to each other instead of ontop.
Have deinstalled buttonsaior, as this together with std buttonmode (longpress power) is enough for me.
Thaks again.
Hey $aur0n, thanks for the link to the package! Definatly going to try it as soon as I figure out what happened to my /data/urukupdate folder. Just disappeared on me. Whole /data folder is empty.

That's kind of unlikely - device would not work with empty /data (it would write a lot of new stuff in it during boot...)
I agree, that's why I was so confused. Did manage to find an answer on that one though. For some reason lost my SU permission for my file explorer so that's resolved. Don't suppose you might know why the kernel file isn't doing the auto-update/install once dropped into the urukupdate folder? The modified top bar you listed worked perfectly, but the Kernel file isn't automatically updating, and it looks like the new UrukConfig doesn't allow me to force the update.

You need to use root explorer (or another explorer with root access) and delete the existing Music2.apk and then put this one in it's place (you can also just overwrite it).
Experiencing fore close issues when trying to sort by songs and when trying to open a specific album to see the contents. Might have to ditch this with these issues.
Okey thank you.
I, too had constant FC's
Renamed old Music2.apk to Music2.apk.bak, dropped the other file in there, rebooted and it seemed to see all my music. I actually like the *old* way of looking at the thumbnails and scrolling up/down. The new one would only go sideways and not put nearly the same amount of info on the screen so took substantially longer to get to music...And no options to change what you see on screen.
The moment I tried to play anything, sort anything or actually try to use the app, FC's every time.
...the moral of the story is, don't just overwrite the old app! I went in, deleted the new on, renamed the old one and was re-up and running in about 10 minutes...
P.S. Looked up a few other people having issues and a few said they solved the FC issues by going into Settings/applications and flushing the data on the app Right After installation / reboot.
I may try again...after I hear word of others making the attempt and getting better success than I had.
Good luck out there!
My english not enough for fix this ) but thank you for help
Thanks

noob has general questions and MIUI

hi yall,
i bought the phone used, and its running 2.2.1 froyo, ever since i got the phone last night ive been here reading everything about it, since im new to android, its very confusing for me.
(1) i wasnt sure if it was rooted, but there was a superuser icon in the menu ,so i went root it again and did allow non market app from super1click. when it was doing allow non market app, the phone frozed , i had to just take off the battery for it to restart, then did the allow non market app again, it was fine the second time. after this i found that the phone is very slow for 20-30 sec when just turned on. perhaps it has nothing to do with rooting and allow non market app, the phone is just like that. anyways is this normal? would rooting 2 times make it slow after power on?
(2) im very interested in installing the MiUI or CM7 to my bravo, i have the factory usb driver installed, and the phone is rooted . what are the other steps to get it work?
i would really appreciate if you have any input,
thanks in advance.
Ok. Get you started then you will need to get what is called the LIFESAVER to me. The Stock .sbf file for just in case times. Next before anything else you need a program called RSD LITE. It's made by Motorola (correct if wrong). On your phone you'll need an app called SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk. Put it on you mem card and install it on your phone (you did push the allow non market apps button in S1C right?). Then look around for the rom you want to use. Myself and several other people are working on a CM7 rom for the Bravo with a working STOCK camera. The easy fixes are using another 2 or 3 camera apps. After all said and done follow the instructions on sndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk or 2ndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk whatever the name is in the app drawer. After that put the rom you want on your sd card. Not in a folder or anything just the card. Reboot into 2nd recovery and wipe your data, cash and dalvik, then install the new rom. NOTE: Most issues occur because you didn't wipe. NOTE 2: You have to use the Vol. UP and DOWN on the side of the phone to select things and the power on the top to do it while in 2ndInit.
And if you would like to know I was writing this on 2 hours of sleep like 24 hours ago while drinking cold coffee and eating something I can't figure out what it is but reminds me of tacos and nachos. Back of fridge find.
Forgot about your first question, sorry, I haven't really noticed any speed changes before or after root to me. Could be another app you have that runs at boot? If you have any troubles just PM me and I'll get to ya. My major project went to the back burner for the moment. I do have an app for you if you want to try to get a little more speed out of it. Like I said just PM me.
what are the apps that increases speed? is there any way i can delete the junk apps came with the phone? there are 50 of them more than 40 is useless. lol
thanks a lot for taking your time responding my post, i do really appreciate it.
after i run launcher pro, the phone have a speed increase, faster then before. everything is normal now.
i noticed that there are a lot of versions of RST lite, i gusse i should have the latest one. right?
i kinda need the camera for school projects, plus there are still things i need to learn about so i will be doing later, i think pretty soon you guys would know how to make the stock camera work, lol
I use RSD Lite 5.0. Google it and it's easy to find. Camera issue has work around and to rid yourself of the bloatware you need to be rooted (which you are) and look on the market for an app called SuperManager. It may have alot more than what you need but it's free. When you install it open and go to it's settings and mark the box for root. Then you can use it to uninstall your bloatware. I would keep google maps and the navigation app though. I've never had a use for any of the news, weather or news & weather stuff. Just slows your phone and uses your data. If you want a true FM Radio for your phone see below. It's a little better then the AT&T Radio. DO NOT UNINSTALL ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN APP! You will see things that seem like doubles of stuff. FM Radio is one of these. One is AT&T's app the other is like the driver for ANY FM Radio app to work. Just let me know if you get stuck. Also here is a great overclock app. Don't go over 1 ghz for too long though. Stock is 800Mhz. It's not made by myself.
when i tried to scan the barcode and download overclock and FM files, it keeps giving me a message of
Download unsuccessful
Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone
i downloaded the files to my computer, everytime i try to put them in the phone by usb cable it shows cant copy, i must did something wrong.
oh, BTW the supermanager is awesome
The old school ways still work for things like this. Take out your memory card and just copy files to it with a card reader. You might have filled up the card already? I can't put anything else on my wifes card but she just has a 2gig. She has alot of music and the videos are taking up alot of room. She's still stock but she does use overclock and undervolt to get a little more speed and save the battery. The QR codes I don't think they work for everyone. Search the market for an app named "Sideload Enabler for Bravo". It's free and so you can make sure you can sideload apps. Gives you the checkbox under settings too! + in my book. Can't remember if it requires root or not..... I'll post the link in a min.
