Hello Guys,
I am pretty much new to Android here (Used to be a Windows Mobile user), although I am starting to read and learn more about it. I felt so happy to be out of the Microsoft Mobile spell, it was horrible and the software just lives in the world of its own, it lags at almost anything and in short, it just cant work.
Alright, so I got my Hero 2 weeks back and I wanted to know a few things, which I hope you can help me with it.
- I have about 60 over applications on my SD card, and I wish to use the MoDaCo ROM, How am I able to backup the applications from the current stock rom and transfer them to SD Card or somewhere else?
( Will Market still recognise the apps I downloaded after I flashed my phone to MoDaCo? )
- One more question, everything when the MoDaCo rom releases a new version, lets say from 2.9 to 3.0, must I reflash and build everything from scratch again?
Thanks A Lot,
Jeremy

hi,
well to answer your questions,
you can install all your applications directly on your sd card using app2sd.(it is incorporated in the modaco roms but bear in mind you have to correctly format ur sd card in ext3 partition for app2sd application to work . Once you've done that , you can flash anything and you'll not have any problem.
2)concerning paid applications, yes. market will automatically recognise applications you bought once you sign in your google account(they'll be recognised but you'll have to download it manually) but paid ones, nope.
3)when you upgrade from the same built( meaning from 2.8 to 3.0 modaco for example) , you dont have to wipe before flashing cause both roms use as base the official 2.73 rom. thus you wont lose any of your settings. However, when you upgrade from a modaco rom to community rom 1.6 , you should normally wipe.(builts are not the same here, one being cupcake and the other eclair)

Thanks A lot for your response, and I have some questions again.
- Where could I find an app to format my SDCard to Ext3? Will my Windows PC still be able to read EXT3?
- You mentioned that market will recognise my downloaded applications after I root the phone right? So, I dont really get it - I have to download it manually? Meaning? ( All my apps are free, no paid )
- Its pleasing to hear that I don't have to wipe when I upgrade to 3.0.
- Oh and something which I missed out, I am supposed to flash a Radio at the same time right? Which one is the best to date? I heard that there was many versions. ( I'm using a GSM Hero)
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Cheers,

So yeah, I've been using UrukDroid for a while now but I only just noticed that none of the camera apps (Camera, ZXing Barcode Scanner, Google Goggles) start up successfully. I've tried doing a full firmware reset in recovery mode, remove and reinstall SDE, and reinstalling Uruk, and noticed a few things.
-Stock: Works
-Stock with SDE installed (boot stock): Works
-Stock with Uruk installed (boot stock): Works *i think*
-Stock with Uruk installed (boot Uruk): Does not work
-Remove stock firmware + boot Uruk: Does not work
Does anyone know a solution to this? I'd really like to be able to use Uruk with camera working, it's the only method I have of having virtually unlimited space for apps in system storage.
Edited: I can't report a bug in the Uruk bug reports thread because this subforum is agraahdhsargh, don't tell me about it
Edited: Can $auron please add ipv6 support in UrukDroid? There's already an alternative zImage for chulri's root that has it, I'd really like to be able to use Google Goggles <3
A friend of mine (achosrocker) has the same probpem with his 43, but i dont have that poblem because im using a 101 without an HD cam..
So its only the camera of the 43
Can we get $auron to add support for the A43IT in the 2.3 update of Urukdroid?
Thanks.

What update do you mean?
Currently we are on version 0.7, the next will be version 1.0
Maybe you meam the archos firmware update this week?
this is version is 2.3.20.
but i think if many people report this bug sauron and his guys will be fix this
Yeah, whichever version of uruk gets updated to 2.3.x, I'd like to have support for the A43's camera. (I'm not sure what kernel or android feature isn't compiled into uruk that allows the HD camera on the A43 to work).
If $auron is reading this, I would be willing to help do testing on my device if necessary.
Also, for some reason (I'm not sure if it's UrukDroid-related) every time my A43 reboots the mediascanner deletes all files under Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. It leaves the folders alone, although the respective apps seem to remove all traces of any files from their caches.
I get the same FCs on my 70IT with Uruk so it's not a matter of having a A43IT support I guess.

Oh really?
i dont heard about that problem once, but i have an idea:
Reinstall urukdroid over "normal" installation way or you wait untill 1.0 version and then you do the normal installation way, not the update way over **/UrukUpdate
Are you saying we all should reinstall UrukDroid, or just him? (And does "normal" mean the "easy" install option?) I for one would rather not have to reinstall from scratch unless absolutely necessary as I have a lot installed and configured and have even written a few changes to the system filesystem (new font, hosts file, etc.)

Wait, I absolutely can't use things like the barcode scanner in UrukDroid (just force close the moment it tries to actually operate the camera -- though the initial startup with that information screen works fine, it FCs as soon as I hit the button to start the actual scanner part where it accesses the camera) but if I reboot to the stock firmware it works in that. Are you absolutely sure it doesn't work in your stock firmware? Really the stock firmware shouldn't even know if UrukDroid is installed or not, right?

Interesting. Do you suppose it could have a problem then with it being HD? Maybe the resolution or format causes a problem?

1) Just him, because he has an A70 and i've never heard before that problem on this device
2) Yap it means the easy install method
3) I suppose so, because i've never heard about this FC problem at Archos devi es except the 43 - the only device with a 720p cam...
@Nazo: By stock with Uruk installed I mean the stock Archos firmware and the SDE using the Uruk kernel are installed, but I boot UrukDroid. I'm not sure if it makes a difference whether UrukDroid is installed or not on when booting the Archos firmware.
Also, for some reason I can't get Uruk 1.0 or 0.7 to reinstall, when I try booting the SDE with the respective kernel replacement, I get the error "UrukDroid 1.0 ERROR: Failed to mount rootfs /dev/mmcblk1p2" which is the second partition on the internal storage, apparently. The stock firmware (latest 2.3.20 android 2.2) works perfectly fine with no problems.
They seem to have fixed this for urukdroid 1.0. I have a 43IT and experienced the same problems with 0.7. I was really worried that I wasn't going to have a camera anymore, but after upgrading, it works! Hallelujah!
This might be anecdotal, but for the first couple hours the device kept overheating and shutting itself off. I just turned it off for a good half-hour and it worked just fine.
Also, I think $auron made a way to reinstall urukdroid from scratch, instead of upgrading, which might fix your current problem. Look on the urukdroid thread (last post) / the wiki when it's updated.
same here..did not work before 1.0 and does work fine now.(using rc3 have not yet updated to 'real' 1.0 but should not make any difference)
I didn't even know there was a 1.0 already. It took me a while to find it, but I managed to. If I did the "reinstall" option hoping not to wipe out all of the programs I had installed and configured and all of their saved data it would still force close on startup. I had to do a fully reinstall from scratch. Now the barcode scanner works again. Unfortunately, I lost Weatherbug (instant force close on start) which was the only weather app I had left that didn't force close, so I'm not sure that this was worth it at all since that was far more important to me than the barcode scanner. At least I can run it if I reboot to the stock firmware, but this is kind of a pain. I guess I'm glad to see the barcode scanner working with the update even if I'd give it up to get any of my weather apps working again (I really don't feel like reinstalling yet again to downgrade though.)
Hello,
I just purchased an Archos 70IT, 8Go, with the latest formware (2.3.something)...
I want to get rid of this menubar on the bottom (moving it top) and also increase the 300Mo application limit :s
so it seems that only rooting can help...
I looked through this forum, found the "archanagel" method, but also that it does not work on my firmware...
I don't care so much about warrenty... can someone please just give me a hint as to how to root my device and, also important, some tools to do what I want to do ?
thanks in advance for your help
If you just want root, use the chulri root method look here at forum
If you want extra functions like 3g support,dvb-t support, increasing ram (swap,compcache), increase the apps partition and many other, try Urukdroid
With both ways you loose warranty
I tried Urukdroid, but got strucked at the very beginning, unable to flash the kernel :s
I enter bootloader, but the menu à have seems different of the one given... Perhaps because I am on latest firmware (2.3.2) ?
And you installed the SDE first?
from Archos Site ? feel bad... I forget starting there :s
So I think I have the answer here...
is there a topic which can help me step by step doing so ?
And is it sure that Urukdroid installs well on Archos70IT with 2.3.2 firmaware ?
because actually, I don't want to "kill" my device
UrukDroid bypass the Archos firmware, (you have the choix in the bootloader) so the version don't change anything
Somebody testet this system on an archos70it?
Also about sdk... any special precaution to take?
Thanks for your help all
I have a A70 IT and UrukDroid runs very well!
About the SDK, just follow the instructions. Oh, and it void the firmware waranty.
I will try this evening... hope not to post an SOS here after
Good luck
I made everything, and it works
nice !
but here a small question : if I update now to the latest firmware, will it change my device ? will I loose the root etc ?
thanks for all the help
UrukDroid and official Android from Archos are each in their own partition, so upgrading one will not change the other^^

Yep and if you've questions post it
in fact I have two already
1) Archos and Uruk are on two partitions... How can I force Uruk to load when I shutdown/switch on again without selecting it "manually" ? my archos wants to boot on archos OS all time :/
2) about the update... I have it in Uruk boot (he wants me to update Android to 2.3 when I am on Uruk...)
thanks
It asks you beacause UrukDroid is based on an older version of the Archos Android.
And to force the start of UrukDroid, for me it is by default, and if not, you just have to start it once in the Recovery Menu and then it is by default.

1) Press the Volume Down Button when you startup, then choose Developer Edition
From now on your archos will boot UD normally
2) Its the Archos firmware 2.3.26, not Android 2.3 Gingerbread
2.3.26 is still Android 2.2.1 Froyo If you want 2.3.26 you have to use the normal Archos Os, not Urukdroid or wait (Until UD 1.1 is ready)
so updating will not modify uruk ? (remove root etc for example...) ? if update is fine I will do it
Also, it seems that Uruk is installed on SD Card... if I want to remake a clean "advanced" install on internal storag... how can I do this ? (since if I install it again, it seems to me that I will have 3 OS on my Archos... I just want "Uruk" on the "internal"

You just have to do the Urukdroid install process again And choose advanced
The UrukDroid website provide a guides for the installation : Installation of UrukDroid
For starters. I am a Nook noob and I am not affraid to admit it.
I have read, read, read, and then read some more about rooting, roms, CWM, CM, and so on and I did puzzle most of the pieces together, but not all.
If I got it right there basically are 3 different roms one can choose for the NT:
Stock rom (the original state)
Stock rom Rooted
Alternate roms: CM (7,8,9), MIUI or any other variation of Android firmware distribution
The usage distribution of the roms can be found in a poll here.
Stock (original) limits you in using full potential of the NT, which typically means that you can not use Google Drive, install/use any apps other then the ones Nook market provides. You can not put apps on the home screen, use any widgets and you are very limited in what you can alterate on the system.
Stock Rooted is the state in which that you are still using the original firmware, however you now have root acces. This means that you have acces to Google Drive and are able to install/use most of the apps on Google Drive on your NT. You can use various launchers to access these apps and can set a launcher as default instead of the original launcher.
The easiest way to get here is by rooting your NT through an SD card. You only need the SD card for the rooting process. The (rooted) firmware remains on the internal memory of the NT.
In this, you:
Still have acces to all the original Nook apps and features (you are still using the original Nook system)
You have the possibility to UNroot the device and turn it fully back to it's original state
What I am not sure about is:
Can you use / place apps on the home screen?
Can you use / place widgets on the home screen?
Are there any other important differences between Stock (original) and Stock Rooted?
When going for an alternate rom, you have a diversity of choices, but all are fully seperate roms, that either replaces the original firmware or complements it (dual boot). What you get in return is a fully functional, tweakable Android system, on which the version depends on the rom that you choose. You can access Google Drive, install/use most apps, place widgets, use different launchers, etc.
The easiest way to get here is by using a SD card. I can not find the specific topic that explains the procedure though. It seems that you can choose to maintain the original firmware and place the rom on the (external) SD, which leaves you with a dual boot system, or you can replace the stock rom with the custom rom.
In this, you:
Loose usage of all of the NT's orininal apps and features (when using the custom rom)
What I am not sure about is:
Where in the process you can choose to either place the custom rom on the (external) SD or install in the internal memory.
Are there any other important differences between Stock Rooted and custom rom?
My main question is: Can you confirm my findings and help me answer the questions/uncertainties?
I can imagine this thread would be of help to others who spent a lot of time reading, but are left with some basic questions. That is why I took my time writing it.
When you use the sd card method, I use a cm7 card when I boot the tablet with the card it boots up as a regular android tablet. It's does not install anything permanently to the tablet. I get full google play. Like I said no nook software at all just android tablet. I use the nook app if I want to read. It has the cool page turn animation the nook software does not go figure. Take out root sd card turn off and turn it back on with no sd card or an unpacked sd card, it boots up just like it came out of the box. All app installs music anything put on the nook with the hacked card in it goes on the card. You have no access to the nooks memory except ram which gets cleared as soon as u restart it. As long as the hacked sd card is not in it there's no way for anyone to tell you've done anything to it, cuz u haven't it all stays on the sd card. Performance is great I play 3D games like mad trigger with no lag, it's the best of both worlds & only way to go if u ask me. I don't know why anyone would do anything els. It's just to easy. Hope that helped.

Thread moved. While I appreciate the effort you've put into this post by reading up and finding out about all the different ROM's, you need to also look to make sure you post in the correct sections of the forum and this is also stated in the sticky in the General section, not to post questions in General. If your thread is a question/multiple questions and you even tick the "Is this a question box" when creating the thread then you must post it in the relevant Q&A section.
Thanks

Thanks, that helps indeed. So basically you only use the CM7 rom, and neglect the stocked software. Sounds like an attractive approach. Thouh it is a bit of a shame that the 8 or 16 GB of internal storage are not usable then.
@AvRS: I did read the section about no questions in the General Forum's policy. I actually thought I posted in the Q&A but appearantly I didn't. I probably started the thread just before I read that part. Thanks for moving it to the proper section.

For the first point: Not on firmware 1.4.3, but on lower firmwares you can download an app called Nook Color App Manager (you have to side-load it as it is not in the Play store) that will allow you to do just that.
For the second point: You cannot place widgets on the Stock launcher. You have to install an alternate launcher for widgets.
Also, I think you mean Google Play, not Google Drive.

Unless you re-partition your Nook, you never have access to the full 8/16GB. You only have access to the 1GB MyNook partition. You have to re-partition (or have a B&N store do it for you) to get more space for user apps.
Ok guys, thanks for all the answers. A lot more is clear now, but definately not all. Also, yes I mean Google Play / Not Drive (doh, my bad)
As I read more and more, it becomes clear to me that all the information about rooting the Nook is soooooo spread and unorganised. It is nearly impossible to make an informed choice without having to spent hours and hours of reading the forums.
Just now for example, after a total of 2-3 hours reading the forums, it came to my attention that there is a big difference between the 8GB and 16 GB NT and that some rooting procedures can brick the NT8.
Anyway, on with the questions:
It seems that the latest version CM10, is the one that currently has most of the attention and most of the development resources go to this. Is this version now steady? Also for N8GB? Are there still big issues, like: no microphone working, sudded reboots, crashes, etc?
I read that CM9 is no longer being develloped. Is this version steady now? Also for NT 8GB? With a working microphone, no sudden crashes, reboots, etc.? Or was it abandoned while unfinished?
How about CM7? Same questions as the above.
So basically, even afters hours of reading, I still have not figured out which version would be best to use for my 8GB NT, if I want full Android functionality, but with everything working steady (also microphone) and avoid any big issues.
Hope you guys can shine some (more) light on this.

Answers:
1) Most of the dev's I believe use NT 16 GB so NT 8GB is a bit of a risk.
2) True, CM9 is no longer being focused on, Jellybean is the center of attention. No it is not considered steady/daily driver material. You might as well flash a jelly bean rom if you are going to flash a newer rom on ur NT.
3) If you want a guarantee that a ROM will run on the NT 8GB, the CM7 ROM by celticwebsolutions internal version is your best bet. It should be guaranteed to work. All those features you mentioned should be working. VOIP does not work on any of the ROM's currently
Number 3 update
Just one update on part of the question, answer to 3); Magicjack app works on it.

Thanks a lot, that really answers most of my questions. To keep you guys on edge, just two more :
With the CM7 'celticwebsolutions rom' you mention 'internal'. I assume that you mean that this rom overwrites the stock rom. Is there an alternative 100% steady CM7 rom that can be loaded aside the stock rom (on external SD)?
Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?
"Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?" Nope, rooted not rooted on any version will not support direct Skype or Video conferencing app that I know of on NT. This may change once OTG is implemented in future development.

for your first question, there is an SD version but it has not been confirmed to work with NT 8GB
You can however make your own internal sd card version using the internal version provided here and instructions that are listed over a succulent's blog: www.iamafanof.wordpress.com
if you aren't all too tech savvy, I would advise against making your own bootable SD, but if want to experiment and learn a thing or two, go for it!

With the CM7 'celticwebsolutions rom' you mention 'internal'. I assume that you mean that this rom overwrites the stock rom. Is there an alternative 100% steady CM7 rom that can be loaded aside the stock rom (on external SD)?
Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?

There are instructions on how to install/create your own SD Card version of any ROM, you just have to try it out.
Skype isn't supported at all. It will install (according to the Play Store online) on my JB (AOKP) NT16, but I don't think it will run. For one thing, there's no camera or camera support.

Why not use Magicjack for voip, it free unless you want to get the dongle for less than $30. With video conferencing app like skype, you can only text but what the point of that.
Hello everyone.
I'm coming through this post to ask someone an A20 firmware.
The fact is: I looked for roms, but it's harder to find one. I tried lots of roms, I got two that worked good,
but unfortunatelly, I got camera and g-sensor problems (I think they're for 10 inches tablets).
I don't want to use the default rom that comes with my tablet because it has only 500mb of internal storage
(the internal storage used for applications, and besides, 150mb already come "used"). Also, after some months
the firmware starts getting slow and freezing during initialization.
My tablet specifications are attached to the post.
