Hi guys, Great work on archos development, however i got couple of quesition regarding uruk, If someone can answer that i would really aprreciate it. so here we go, please ignore my newbieness )
a. what is exactly uruk is?? custom firmware??
b. Is it possible to install it on internal memory rather then on the sd card without the whole partition thingy..lol, if possible any guide for installing on the internal memory.
c. also, has someone used the overlocked kernel with this, how is it workin??
Thats it for now, i think.. Thanks everyone in advance for answering my newbie Q's...Cheers
Anyone interested in telling??

Its not a custom firmware, but a tweaked kernel. Think of it as someone took the stock Archos OS and added/changed a bunch of the basic guts of it. Its based on the original system, but has improvements and changes Archos would never release.
It is possible to install on the internal memory. There is a thread dedicated to it in the development subforum.
I've used the overclock kernel but had some issues - namely the screen wouldn't turn back on after waking it from sleep. With overclocking each tablet is unique, so mine is probably unstable where others would work just fine. Honestly, once you have it running on the internal memory its slick enough you don't need to worry about overclocking at this stage.
Good luck.
Do you lose the warranty when you use the Urukdroid? It seems to me it is a stable system then, but I don't want to lose my warranty...
To install Uruk you need to install the SDE, which automatically voids the warranty.

Thanks mate for the reply, yeah i had the same trouble with oc 1280 kernel. however, Some one suggested that by callibrating the screen through repair menu at start up,it fixed that problem. another quick question, how would you go on installing it on internal memory, was'nt able to find thread regarding it. personally, i like oc kernel coz its pretty fast as compared to uruk..Thaks
Hi you all!
I've just installed the Uruk 0.6 for the frist time from a new full installation!
I've got a couple of little problem (my English is really horrible!... in reading too!!!!) now I'me a happy Uruk-user
I found HERE the full process to flash the Uruk on the internal Flash memory... but I'm too newbee with Linux bash, so I'll await a new Uruk relese with a full installer.
For the overclock kerel I found THIS tread written by ardatdat where you can find many overclock Kernel... it seems simple ti install! If I well understand, I will flash the only "zImage" by SDE... is it correct? the fix04 more exactly which seems fully function with Uruk... I'll try it!
And, finally, many tanks to $aur0n for this great work! really many tanks!
see you all!

I've been looking through the posts and some are sort of old. So i'm posting this just to make sure I have all the current and correct information.
I'm coming over from a T-Mobile HTC Dream that I flashed to Cyanogen.
I want to flash my Sprint Hero to the Modaco Custom ROM primarily so I can wifi tether but also because I suspect that the Modaco ROM probably performs better.
anyway here are my questions:
Can I use Cyanogen's 1.4 Recovery Image to gain root access? If not, which should I use?
What version of the ModaCo ROM do I want to use? Is the most recent also the most stable?
Do I need to flash on a new Radio? If so, which one?
That's it. Like I said I did read through a bunch of posts first but since most of the ones I found with good information were from 6 months ago, I just wanted to make sure I had all the current information before going forward.

You may want to mention that it's a Sprint Hero in the title of your post. I was hoping to help you out, but like the majority of people here, I have the Telus/European model, so I don't think I'm qualified to answer your questions.

Instead of the Cyanogen Recovery image, use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581521
We don't have a new kernel so MoDaCo's ROM is just some tweaks to the stock OS until a working kernel is built and optimized. (Also wifitethering is working on the stock ROM for me, just gotta use the pre-release version since they only recently figured out what was blocking it).
You can find the CDMA MoDaCo here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581846
There's no new radio firmware so you shouldn't need to flash the radio.
It can be tough sorting between GSM and CDMA information but hopefully this will start you in the right direction.
Thanks thecodemonk, that information helps alot. So based on your information it probably doesn't make any sense for me to flash to Modaco right now. How do I get my hands on the pre-release version so that I can tether?
Thanks

Sure thing DaveKid.
I'm running stock myself but it's really more of a preference thing. If you like MoDaCo's stuff, I am sure he will continue to improve it (once he gets back from his trip). I'm more waiting it out and I like tweaking things myself so I'm implementing some things he's done and doing other things differently. If you like MoDaCo, go for it!
Here's the link to the issue thread where I got the pre-release issue (as well as pros/cons of using it from other people...it's worth a read!)
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
Direct link to the apk file: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk
It's working well for me but some others are reporting an issue with wireless from it. I'm sure in time, they will have a more elegant official release for us.
one more quick question....
do I still want to format my MicroSD card into 3 partitions: fat32, Ext3, Linux-Swap?

The point of partitioning is to use Apps2SD (Ext2/3/4 partition) and to use your sdcard as a swap drive (Linux-Swap).
The point of Apps2SD is to store all your apps on your SDCard (surprise!)...usually because you have *that* many apps that it doesn't fit on the internal storage area. The other reason people do this is because they want an easier way to backup what apps they have installed.
As for the swap issue, there are a couple camps in this arena...
Some believe that Android should be left to manage it's memory as it was designed to do and that putting in a swap partition messes with that (since SDCards are slower than internal memory). I fall into this camp.
Other's believe that it gives them more flexability and overcomes some of the limits...they like having more things in "running state".
Hopefully that will educate you to make your choices the way you want your device to be.
Hello everyone,
so i registered yesterday in this forum, know it for a while now but was never useful to me because the "coolest stuff" to do on my LG always was needed to root it and i was (and still am) a bit afraid of doing it, since i dont understand nothing about it but i heard it can mess up your phone. So i thought of posting something here.
So i have a LG P500 and yesterday i updated the firmware or software (dont know how to call it). Now i have the official Gingerbread udpate. I was a bit disappointed as i always wanted to have that locking animation that nexus S has.
Yes, i know you might tell me to use the search button but i looked for something similar and someone said something about rooting the phone to use the CM7.
So what i wanted to know is. What are the pros and cons with rooting. Do i need to "instal" CM7 or something like that to have that lock animation even having the 2.3.3 official update? Do you advice me to root my phone even though i bought it a few months ago?(like march or something)
Im sorry if i should searched a bit more but i think its better to just talk directly with people who understand this phone stuff better then i.
Thank you in advance!
Ps: Im portuguese and i know there are a few portuguese members here, if any of them could help me with this i would appreciate!
I myself upgraded to the LG 2.3 gingerbread firmware v20b
and it sucks to the core
i downgraded to froyo v10e the very next day itself
the pro's of rooting is that
you get access to the core android files
and use your phone to the max
(example overclock, customized ROM's,hardware acceleration etc)
in short you get a much better phone and no lg crap bloatware etc
the con's are
if rooting doesn't go properly you'll end up with a bricked phone
and your warranty will be void
my suggestion is
if your not so much into your cell
i mean you dont use it a lot for 3D gaming and other hi resource using applications
and just need for messaging,music,net
then dont root
else root
and enjoy your phone

im sure there are applications
or some launcher which will have what your looking for
Just do it.
I rooted it 3 days after I bought it.
But be careful while doing so, there are chances of bricking your phone.and yes, warranty will be void. But you can, anytime,go back to stock firmware just in case if you want your warranty.

Rooting & link to howto (mostly for my own reference)
Hi,
For me the main advantage of rooting is that you can use a custom recovery (= do nandroid backups) and that you can install different kernels (better performance but mainly better battery life).
I have been on official 2.3.3 since months now (waiting until Andy's Phoenix ROM matures a bit), and I must say that I'm quite happy with it (with LauncherPro of course).
Just be sure to install a good recovery (CWM 4.0.1.5 or so) and that you make a nandroid backup before you flash something new.
Oh and here's the howto I used to root my brother's phone yesterday...

So to see if i get it, by "custom recovery" you're saying i can use a "custom image" that someone created to improve my phone?
I didnt quite undestood the nandroid and CWM recovery parts! Im really sorry for all the questions but im still a noob in this area and i was hopping i could get to know a little more about this in this forum!
Ps: thank you all that answered till now!

Hi, as u said u r novice, & does not know anything.
My suggestion is to use ur cell for few months & search in google & XDA whatever u have doubt. Then understand one by one things.
I am telling because my cell was bricked with doing all these things, I voided warranty & i have to change my entire board for 3,000/-
I think no use with all these rooting & flashing, roms, getting headache with this stuff.
Just use ur phone as it is, & u may install new new softwares & games as market is producing a lot daily.
I have bad experience with all these experiments.
Rooted my p500 successfully ...
Rooting is NOT for novices.
Rooting requires some basic (to slightly advanced) understanding of the way this android software works. It also requires some basic understanding of the way in which kernel, over-clocking etc., work. And, one should also understand the limitations (of hardware, processing power, storage, RAM etc.,) of one's mobile phone.
Thankfully, I rooted my P500 successfully yesterday. And, loaded Titanium Backup and got going in the `rooted mobile' arena.
Removed some unwanted/useless applications like bollywoodji, vaccination tracker, etc., successfully.
i think rooting is a piece of cake. enable debugging mode, connect phone to pc, press the ROOT button

Actually very few people have bad experiences with rooting and related stuff. Most of us (including me) have done it right, and are enjoying the benefits.. Just follow the instructions carefully and everything will be alright. And make sure that whatever process you do, it is NOT INTERRUPTED in between. That's all.
Also, if you were in the stock froyo firmware, you could have simply rooted using gingerbreak. The 2.3 based firmware can also be rooted, but requires a few more steps, you can search and find out about that.
I would personally suggest not to use ROM manager for installing custom recovery on your P500, because when I used it, my phone got stuck in the fastboot mode. But with a little effort I could make it right.
All the best!
Hello everyone,
I have tried my level best to find the answers to my questions by reading other posts but unable to find answer.
Here are some stupid question,
1. What is recommended , install ROM on external SD (I have class 10) or Internal SD?
2. I am thinking to do internal GPS module modification, will it work with upcoming android version? How up to date GPS mod software version.
3. In context of GPS internal module, what is recommended ROM to use?
4. At this point which ROM is most stable? I have been happily using Gtabcomb 3.3 something but ever since I updated to 3.4.2 , My tablet has some hiccups. Please recommend accordingly.
5. Many guys recommend to use “froyo combo”, are there any special steps for going from Honeycomb to froyo based ROM?
I think thats all for now.
I would appreciate any replies on my questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys , I am getting more and more confused after reading a lot post on the forum. I think I updated from Gtabcomb to Gtabcombover , are these two different ROMs altogether?
DO I need to update my CWM? if yes, what is the most stable version for bootloader v1.2?
There is a new firmware out for Gtablet , can someone please guide how to update the firmware?
I would appreciate your answers.
For GPS, read this thread and then ask specific questions.
Yes I have gone through the post, in fact that's where I have got idea for internal gps. It looks like you are the one who is supporting software side.
How ever, your post has no updates since a while. So in your opinion what is the future for that module, in terms of software support? Do you suggest I should go for the update?
Please disregard all other questions, as I repartioned and fresh install gtabcombover, so far things working smooth, except it froze once. I can live with that.
Many thanks.

For Froyo, GB and HC ROMs no more work is needed--however, I may make cosmetic changes. For HC ROMs, use the zip file from post #417 instead.

There are a variety of causes for a ROM freeze--overclocking to 1.4 GHz and playing 1080p movies, for example, always hangs my ROM after a short time. Another, is the result of the kernel killing the wrong processes when the system runs out of memory. For this, follow the suggestions in this post.
Hi!
I currently own a GT-i9100T (Australian), but I have installed an i9100 ROM on it, so I guess they are the same models.
Firstly, I want to develop a ROM for GT-I9100 phones, but I need some guidance. I need a clean, booting kernel that will work, regardless of which custom ROM I will develop.
Secondly, I want to know if there is way to test my built ROM. Maybe dualboot? The last phone I had, I developed CM10 for it, and to test it I booted the ROM from an sdcard, by changing the locations of /system, /cache, /data in the boot image. So, is there a way to boot from the sdcard for this phone as well?
OK. So, to summarise it, I am asking for the following:
- A clean kernel that can be used to develop any ROM, and the ROM will boot.
- A dualbooting method to be able to test the new ROM. Possibly booting from sdcard.
I will look more deeply into the 'booting from sdcard' question myself, but I am still looking for guidance regarding it.
Thank You.

Thanks for your precious time, but that guide looks like it is for total noobs.
I am a senior member for a reason. I have developed a couple of ROMs before, but this is a different phone, so i am not familiar with this phone. This is why i was asking for some guidance.
I know how to developed, but I need to know the things in the original post.
Thanks.
@rqmok
Well I would think that you are building a AOSP based ROM? If so DorimanX Kernel lets you dual boot...... (Second ROM is run on the SDcard) You can use this kernel solely for testing.
Now for the kernel of the ROM, the cleanest kernel I can think of that powers CM AOSP AOKP is CM kernel? You can just compile from CM source and use it?
Thanks a bunch!!

Hi guys, I've purchased a used Gsmart TUKU 2 and am having big problems with it. It has quite impressive specs for a very low price, so I was hoping to get a bargain, but oh was I mistaken. The phone either has too little memory (512mb apparently is not enough for this one), or the ROM is tragically badly optimized. I runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (Kernel 3.0.21-perf; Build number: [email protected]) and it lags ALL the time. When a dual core machine lags on the home screen, something's wrong. I am trying to find a rooting/flashing guide for this phone, so I can try some better optimized ROMs on this to see, if I can improve responsiveness. I had big success doing this on my old HTC Dream (G1) when I installed a higher version (Froyo), so I'm hoping something like this will be possible here too, with an upgraded version like Jelly Bean, or KitKat.
The problem is I cannot find a single guide aimed at this particular phone and I can't find any suitable ROMs either. So please, mighty warriors of XDA-DEV, if anyone would know anything about this, have any relevant links or information, I would appreciate it dearly. This phone is supposed to be a present for my dad, as he needs a new one and I'm hoping to get it to work nicely within the next three weeks, so I can give it to him already optimized. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
So I have found something, but I'm not sure, whether it's the right thing I found this website: http://proshivku.ru/gigabyte/gigabyte-gsmart-tuku-t2-black-detail that seems to offer various ROM versions for many phones. It does list Jelly Bean and KitKat and it appears to have them available for the T2 as well. But I'm not sure, whether this is just a generic version, or one optimized for the particular phones. As well, while I can translate the website from russian, I don't understand the video on it, so I don't know, whether it needs to be rooted/downgraded first or not and so on. Anyone able to provide some more info on this?
So I'm getting back to looking for stuff to do with the Tuku T2. Found mentions of other usable roms, like the Cherry MIUI or the J77 MIUI, but can't find ANY working download links. Has anyone seen a working link for any rom for this phone?
Ok, so I have finally been able to find som custom roms for the TUKU T2
Hi guys. I have finally, after hours and hours of sifting through forums, found what I was looking for. I found actually many viable custom roms for the Gsmart Tuku T2. Found them on a russian Forum called "4PDA.ru". It is in russian of course, so your best bet is to use Chrome browser and have it translated in english. It won't translate all, but enough to find and download all that you need. Right the first post in the topic has the whole list. There are many versions plus a generic one. I have downloaded a few and will be testing them gradually. The link is here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=471828 Right now I'm using the LolliMod_V2 with the update provided to 2.1. It is one of the first in the list and I have to say it works marvelously. I already have had root, done by framaroot and I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 I think. I did have problems using the SD card to flash as it can't mount, but from what I saw it seems it's because it's a small SD card. So I just simply copied the zip file to the internal storage and selected install zip from internal storage instead from sd card in the cwm recovery. Same way, after install, restarted phone, then again into recovery, installed the update to 2.1.
As said, it works perfectly, none of the freezing or slowdown happening, that was constant with the stock rom. The LolliMod is I think android 4.4.2, which is fine, as the stock was 4.0.4. It provides some nice options, a lot more settings, far better graphics and so on. I have noticed a few hickups, like the Volumes settings in the sound settings won't show and the settings will close, but you can still set the volume for everything otherwise. It's a brilliant rom.
So anyway, if you are looking for ROMS for the TUKU T2, definitely have a look at that site. If you'll have problems with it, let me know, I can reupload some that I have already downloaded to some file sharing site...
As always, all credits go to the creators of these roms, none are mine, but as I don't speak russinan, I can't tell it to them personally. Take care.
