hmmm
u may try something like this:
http://blog.mymediasystem.net/uncat...-sata-hard-disk-drive-after-being-idle-linux/
and adopt the linux commands for...
Just checked at my 101 - "hdparm" command at least is accessible/there
You ofc will need a rooted device + a terminal-app or ssh.
otherwise google on for bare linux solutions and try to adopt it - as I dont think there are many other Android-HDD-devices then the Archos ones...
I don't have a hdd version - so this is all i can do from here...
Good luck

[Q] Update with broken screen

Hello
My archos g9 fall down with result a broken unuasble screen. But that doesnt mean it is useless!
The hdmi output works just fine, so i will use it like a media center with my tv.
I want to update to 4.0.25 so i can use it from my phone with archos remote, but it currently run with blue rom and cant update by it self. Also the hdmi is not working in recovery and i cant see.
Is there any alternative way to update? (adb or something )
thanks in advance

Hi There,
Grab the surdu rooted update from here
You can flash the sde zImage and initramfs.cpio. using an archos tool called kd_flasher, just push the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo to the device, doesn't really matter where, /data/local/ is as good as any, Then push archos.ext4.update from (Stock_Root_4.0.25) on to your device, then reboot into sde , something like this should sort you out
Code:
adb push zImage /data/local/zImage
adb push initramfs.cpio.lzo /data/local/initramfs.cpio.lzo
adb push archos.ext4.update mnt/storage/
adb shell kd_flasher -i/data/local/initramfs.cpio.lzo -k/data/local/zImage
adb shell reboot_into sde
Hope that help you out

Man, I've can't believe I didn't clock this app sooner, I only just look at what it does, my touch screen has been fooked for months as well, It's one of the few thing about Archos that has made happy. I was looking in play around with USB/IP adb virtual mouse drivers, Sill will. It's nice to see they finally Got Something right!
Thanks a lot for the help, i ll try this and post how it went in the next days.
Yes after 4.0.24 update it says that you can use your phone as a touchpad that sounds very interesting. Also i saw lots of updates at the video app of archos that is the only one that plays fine through hdmi.

Yes, I'm in a quandry now with it, I'm porting CWM and stuff and probably going with a 4.2 from the Omapzoom sources, Archos G9's are based heavily on the Blaze Development Platform.
It's not overly difficult to write my own app to do that although I suck and hate doing UI work and the archos did feel alright to use on the HTC Sensation. I already tore apart the Client APK from my HTC, It's pretty heafty but that isn't what I need anyway. It's just a case of Implementing the protocol on the custom roms. Considering I control both ends of the conversation you just gotta tell.
Piece of Cake Really..... I'll add it to the list
You're rooted currently right? Have you tried changing your system properties the pretend to be a 4.0.24 rom....It probably won't work because I think Archos will is reliant on the input classes of the android framework. which is wrapped in the a script in /system/bin/input. On ICS the commands available are as follows
usage:
input text <string> : this will "type" a string to the focused android ui window
input keyevent <event_code> : an number between 0-255 which represent either keyboard keys, both soft and hard buttons as well as custom assigned things
I currently make heavy use this of it with my custom adb. Which is how I mae inly work with it . Although I given them some nice wrappers because I'm a lazy bastard. Anyways input in jellybean add a couple of extra
usage:
input text <string>
input keyevent <key code number or name>
input tap <x> <y>
input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2>
I played with tap and swipe earlier, on a Galaxy Tab I put 4.1.2 on. they work pretty nicely. Quick Left and Right Swipe can be done with just add a sign to the number, The only thing missing then is an easy way to do long presses. It possible the send them using /dev/input codes, I've not got round to playing with that, I've not had an overwhelm need to do it as I always have a otg cable with a mouse to hand.
Ah F**k it, I'll get wireshark on it later and backport whatever the after.
Apologises for the technical mind dump, I just got myself started. at least you know there more than what archos provide re remote controlling.
I didn't quite understand that big post of yours but your solution worked perfectly and now my g9 is update to 4.0.25
Archos remote touchpad is a little bit difficult to use but it's functional. Now i move on to solve the next 2 problems ,network speed for streaming movies from my data server and force screen to be off because the screen is white all the time and it is a little bit irritating
But these are not device specific so i believe mr Google will help me
Thank you very much again!!!

Haha, Welcome to the inside of my mind....I've been affectted by these robots.
To turn off the display on the device do some more command line trickery
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled
or
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
Both achieve the same result, It's been a while since I worried about network speeds but generally I try an be wired in the route either directly or through home plugs, I know some of the usb etherports are cheap and work with out much hassle of the G9 On wireless I try to be on fairly channel away from other people ( not always possible ) and Networking said to try to use even channels, Some to do with Electrical and thing I don't fully care to understand yet

[Q] 2th screen for an Android Phone?

Hello,
i'm searching for a 2th screen for my HTC Desire S. I think this is no special question for the Desire S so i post in the general category, please move this thread if i'm wrong. I want this beause the screen of my phone is so small and i would use it for watching movies and maybe surfing on websides. The screen don't have to support touch input, maybe you could use the normal phone screen as a touchpad like on a laptop.
I don't even know if such a device exists but normaly you all no more than I do. I would prefer to connect the screen over Bluetooth but i would be happy with any solution.
Thanks
install team viewer on your phone and pc. do a meeting and use your phone to control you pc and watch stuff on your pc or play games on your phone but with the screen on the pc
thank you for your response but i think this solution doesn't meet my requirements. If I use my PCs for that, the desire would get useless because i could direktly use my pc. I want something like an tablet display panel oder a pain lcd screen in 7" oder 10" so i can carry it around and use it portable (with attached battery). Something like this tinyurl.com/bemc4dy (sorry for tinyurl but i normaly can not post links) but not for the raspberry pi and maybe a bit cheaper. My question was a bit imprecise.
thanks
If you have a tablet you can still use team viewer on that. But the only problem is you have to be on wifi

remix 3.0 Total disappointment

my laptop is an Intel Atom N455 1.6GHz with 2GB of RAM and 256MB of video, remix 2.0 was super slow but now the version 3.0 if I worked well super fast and compatible with most applications only that no game opens me none, try to open any game however simple and a black window appears only for 3 seconds and closed.
the file browser does not have option to decompress, he needs a better performance since sometimes the system sticks a bit and antivirus 360 security is not left open in the background: / and also supports launchers, hope to resolve this quickly.
I would say that your expectations are a little exaggerated,you didn't bought your laptop with RemixOS out of the box.So there is no reason to aspect such quick fixes.
I say that remix os 3.0 is not a total disappoitment... actually works very well if it's installed corectlly. Sure it has some bugs/issues in your case video card in my case was wireless card...for me was enough to write 3 words in a sistem file and I fixed that issue.Off course I know it what was wrong with my wireless because I had same problem in other linux distributions...
antivirus 360 security ! jesus! just install a simple firewall and you're good to go! this is not windows )
"file browser does not have option to decompress" who cares?? just install another file manager there are literally hundreds on google play.
Yes it does support other launchers. I'm using ADW Launcher right now.
I recomand you to start searching google about your issue and most important to use the right words to describe you problems.For example, obviosly you have a video issue but you didn't mentioned what type of video card you have....maybe...just maybe someone from this forum can help you to resolve your problem...but only if you want.
Please try again: what video card you have? how you installed remix os? which type of partition you used?have any other info about your problem?
Wellcome to xda forums.
Dude, get your English together - basic bonehead English
I am thinking you are a teenager or perhaps younger from the way you structure your sentences. Secondly, how can you be disappointed when this is a new beta version? Be happy that there are individuals working hard for a free OS which beats the pants out of most OSes. Have you ever tried coding?
Did you consider the op might speak English as a second language or typed it on a small screen or maybe even dyslexic?

A weekend using remix 3.0.102

[FONT="<font><font>Lucida Sans Unicode</font></font>"]Hi all users remix I will present to you today as I was using for two days in his last remix version on my laptop with the following characteristics:
TOSHIBA NB250-108
Intel® Atom ™ N455 processor
ddr3 ram 2gb
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (256mb)
open gl 2.0
I say this after beginning...
I use windows 7 without any problem from there 3.0.102 remix install the hard disk on another partition, was fast, start well, I gave me choose my WiFi connection but not detect anything even though it was activated.
okay
no problem, sure to restart may recognize my wifi and so was ... well it works well, not as fast as its main competitor, phoenix you, but not as fluid goes well, native apps are good, your file manager does not have option to extract compressed files, but only touches download an app for that ... ok let's start with the good things about this version:
It works faster than version 2.0 ...
store and play alternative app store
It is rooted
all applications work smoothly
detects all partitions
we now for the things that must be corrected:
problems with the WiFi that spend an hour or a little more begins to fail, disconnect and try to connect again and does not, after several attempts just says error wifi connection and no problem with my wifi in my phone does not happen and is the same wifi I have in my house.
the file browser is missing extract compressed files.
many crashes, when using the system and do many things like download any app, play games, listen to music or do something in Word hangs and returns to CRGAR the system.
also freezes playing restart the computer.
when the computer is asleep after resume does not react more, it turns but is completely frozen.
besides that he needs more fluidity.
mapping the full screen key does not fit well because of the lower task bar.
but that is only corrected manually adjusting the size of the games.
You can not be installed launchers and assume that android is customizable.
change those icons so ugly: P
some games run smoothly but many do not work.
examples:
baseball superstar 2013
Zenonia 5
ZENONIA S
candy crush and all games dl same developer
battle camp
demon souls ... the list is longer but are just a few examples.
I hope to do more compatible with those games.
jetpack joyride also runs slow and that in phoennix will operate normally.
I do this because I work with system installation and I would like to install this system to my clients and do not have many problems and they can do their jobs, watch videos, play and do everything smoothly.
so users expand this excellent system. jide thank for this, I hope I read and take into account.
and the laptop that I use is very, very common where I live.[/FONT]​
Why I'm getting stuck on setup wizard in RemixOS 3.0 ??
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I also installed the new marshmallow update on my 2015 Dell Xps 13 with the touch screen. Wifi is non existent. The system looks promising, but without wifi I'm not going to even give it a try.
You know...I am getting tired of this stupid linux/open source/remixos driver situation. I mean...it's 2016. Are we still having trouble with a god damn wifi? The wifi dongle is such a ubiquitous tool. We have wifi everywhere - but no, we don't have drivers for them. Seriously? Do we even *need* drivers for such a simple device? And then graphics. Of course, graphics. NVidia launches the Pascal architecture, AMD launches the 400 series - but wait, we are on linux or a futile linux hack called remixos. We don't get access to all that. We need opensource drivers.
What in the name of sweet baby jezus is all this crap? We have PCs for over 60 years folks. 60 god damn years. And we still lack basic boilerplate drivers like graphics and wifi? See? This is exactly why I don't bother with hacks like remix os or linux. Yes, I am including linux here because no hardware vendor supports it properly. Hell, I could extend this to the whole open source ecosystem. I don't use that. I don't want that. I want supported devices.
I am tired of browsing forums to help me get my god damn wifi or printer working. It's been 60 years of personal computing folks, we deserve better. That's exactly why I am ranting and will always rant about this. And for sure I will get a chromebox when android play store comes to chrome os and will say goodbye to PCs forever. Remix OS for PC - what a god damn joke. If it's for PCs, make it actually run on PCs.
