Hi,
Ii bought my Archos device knowing it is a great developer device - anyway im not into porting linux,...
As there are many mobile OSes and i really want a "normal" linux on my 101 too, I thought about gathering all Informations about the different OSes so it's easier to choose one
Anyway this is what i know for now (will just include latest versions - unless there are different develoment stages):
Android:
Froyo (2.2 ...)
Archos Stock 2.4.82 - (changes)
UrukDroid (download, server-link, homepage, wiki, development, bugs, TV, 3G)
Urukdroid 1.1RC1 (based on FW 2.3.38) - 1.1RC2 update - 1.1RC3 kernel
develoment stopped
Cinema-Plugin enabled
UrukDroid 1.6 (based on FW 2.4.81, Android 2.2.1), Changelog
OC module included
Overclocked Kernels for UD (DO NOT USE UNLESS U KNOW WHAT U ARE DOING)
releases by Sauron are always filed at his server
releases by Sibere are always linked in his Signature
Gingerbread (2.3 ...)
openAOS Android Anoa (CM 7) - version 18.08.2011 (homepage, download, bugs)
openAOS Bull RC2
Honeycomb (3.0 ...)
we will never see - due to missing sources
ICS (4.0 ...)
ICS for Gen8 (wip, to be released)
...
other Linux:
Linux Angström
Archos SDE, version ?
Kubuntu
Kubuntu Mobile for GEN 8 Tablets, Pre-alpha Test release
Kubuntu (KDE Plasma Active) how to build
Ubuntu
Bbodhilinux (Ubuntu based with Enlightenment), version Alpha 1 (development stopped as it seems)
Ubuntu install guide
Meego
noting yet, really like too see
Debian
Debian-Archos (XFCE4 Alpha 0.3, Gnome Beta 2,...)
If u now ask - how to use them - here is the answer:
OpenAOS Multiboot
UrukDroid AlternativeOS (UD >= v1.1 needed)
or just installthe SDE and replace the rootfs.img file on the device with your deserved one (maby wont work for all OSes)
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT OSes OR FOR BUGS,... this is just for gathering information about available OSes.
Thanks
As I can't search for all those on myself I'll be happy to get some help:
love to see post like "UD 1.5B4 is out -> LINK"
and please correct me if im wrong with information provided...
Last but not least THANKS to all DEVs like Sauron, Bubu, letama, Sibere...
last changes:
- bug fixes
- Ubuntu install guide
(just to fix an error, Froyo is 2.2 )
You've forgoten Debian ^^
also, you forgot gingerbread (cm7)
Nop, he just did a mistake by naming it : crayogen ^^

KDE Plasma Active would be nice and smooth...
Runs on BeagleBoard with similar ARM A8.
I think it could be a nice alternative.

Cool, but I don't understand everything in Tut's.
Even could be a bit risky. Someone of the coders here should make an Image and upload it for all of us.

UrukDroid 1.6RC4 (based on FW 2.4.65, Android 2.2.1) ?
i cant fine main topic about this rom. is it stable or beta release ?
UrukDroid 1.5 is install on my tablet
1. As the RC4 is in the developer thread, it can't be a mainrealese.
2. RC4 also implies that it's not release.
3. It is based on 2.4.80.
4. This is the developer part, so you can't expect anything here is released.
Hi,
Could you please change links for UrukDroid. Some people use installation files without even reading a bit of documentation and this makes a lot of questions later.
Please point download files to proper download file section of UD wiki
http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Download
and changelogs, to changelog page

Are any of these firmware versions suitable for an Archos 70 Internet Tablet HDD version? (originally a 250Gb model, upgraded to 1Tb) - model A70H according to the recovery screen.
I'm trying to repair this, as it won't boot, but the firmware on the Archos site won't install.

My Atrix is SIM unlocked, rooted, bootloader unlocked and Gingerbread installed.
What to do now ? Just to use it as a smartphone only ?
Jocking. But suggestions appreciated.
- Is it really worth to try an other ROM ?
- Is there a possibility to connect a hard disk via USB port ?
- Is there a dual boot possibility to boot additional an other Linux operating system ?
- Is there any application to remote control my Atrix from my Linux (Ubuntu) laptop as a remote computer with desktop (homescreen etc.) of my Atrix ?
( Attention not talking about remot control of computer from the smartphone)
- How could a store (move) my
text massages (Gingerbread text messages)
emails (k9 mail)
videos (Gingerbread video camera)
fotos (camera zoom FX)
bookmarks, etc ... my profile of Firefox mobile

Hi Folks ! My questions were not jocking, but probably too many of them.
So maybe one only:
Is it worth to try an other ROM when your phone is already unlocked and rooted with the original one ?
Until you've used cyanogenmod everything else is just.....lowbrow. Download the latest stable release of CM7 from the development forums. And you'll never go back to stock again.

Hi Phalanx7621 !
I have heard of cyanogenmod ROMs, but to my knowledge ( http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices ) there isn't an official one for the Atrix up to now, where everything (fingerprint etc.) is running fine.
Anyway, as I never used a different ROM, I have quite some difficulties to understand what are the benefits for doing like this. For sure there are, otherwise nobody would do. Maybe the ones of you who changed the ROM could share some facts with us the still non changed ones.
Maybe I am wrong, but if I compare this action with my ThinkPads. Should be comparable, as the Atrix is a kind of mini laptop and even running with Linux (Android). Same on my ThinkPads, they are real laptops and running Linux as well (Ubuntu). - Sorry can not compare this with Windows.-
To update the Android version from V 2.2 Froyo to Gingerbread V 2.3 is like an update from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. Usually some improvements, bug fixes and updates. Fine.
To change the ROM. Isn't like to change the distribution on the laptop ? For example to change from Ubuntu 10.04 to Linux Mint 11. Both are on the same basic. More or less the only difference is the look & feel. All applications are the same. And even Ubuntu you can make it look like Mint or vice versa. No really need to change the distribution.
Maybe this is the same with changing the ROM. The look & feel.
But what about
- boot time ? Really different with different ROM ?
- the speed ? Really different with different ROM ? But when ? To open Firefox for example ?
- the used RAM by the operation system ? Any differences ?

There is a quasi-official ROM. Actually, it IS Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 with some fixes to get it running on out Atrix. The fingerprint does not work because only Motorola ROMS have both the kernel drivers and the libraries to make it working. Fortunately, the Atrix Cyanogenmod team is working on this and eventually they will find a way to make it working.
In any case, I find that the stock rom and the stock radio still has the best battery life (in my case, still Froyo). Maybe not the best performances, but I am pretty sure about the battery life.
Update: CM7 Atrix team have the permissions to build their nightly releases on Cyanogenmod build server. I believe that they are getting fully recognized by Cyanogenmod. Therefore, I would say that they are pretty much official.
Hey guys
I'm totally new here and nearly a complete noob !
I got a ZOPO ZP600+ 3D phone with android 4.2.2 and kernel version : 3.4.5
Chipset is MT6582 Quad 1.3Ghz A7 with Mali400MP2 @ 500mhz ( I guess ) and 1GB of RAM
I have a problem( with the phone of course ! ) that is messing with my mind
I think its related to 2D rendering
all of the launchers are slow and they're not smooth . they're even slower than a simple dual core phone !
the default live wallpapers are running on slow framerate and laggy (somewhat near 10~15 fps)
and I tested a 2D game called "Line Runner" and it runs like slow motion !!!
I don't know what the hell is wrong with my phone .
I flashed a custom rom ( have exposed framework by default) and changes some settings and tested some exposed options but had no luck fixing the issue
I ran V6 Supercharger script but still didn't fixed it
force gpu rendering on developer options didn't help
I don't have any problems with 3D games and my antutu score is ~17400
( Rooted , Custom rom , Xposed installed , CWM Recovery )
please help me ;( , what should I do to fix this issue ? Its really driving me mad
Come on guys . help me out here
Nobody really knows what the hell is wrong with my device ? :crying:
I can try testing on mine to compare results. My Antutu is also 17000 +. What other test have you made with what score, I will put those on mine and tell you, so that we see if it is consistent, or unique.
I am on my stock ROM though, please note. Has it always been like this with you, even with the stock ROM?
Hello, I have a rooted xperia mini pro SK17i and I'm stuck to the CyanogenMod ROM 7.2.0 which seems to be the only one to work with my device.
I have written to you in the past to ask: "Why the wifi stops working if I try to install the cm-9.0.0, or 9.1.0-cm, or 10 cm-.........? ?? "
but no one has ever found a solution or the solution just did not work ...
I know from what I see in the forums that mine is a very common problem.
Now, years later, I ask again the same thing: "What should I do to install a more recent rom without losing the wifi?"
hello

wifi is defend by your kernel install.. try use another kernel like cm10 or cm11 and make full wipe n install your rom again.. or switch to another kernel and rom..
When I installed the cm-9.0.0 I used its kernel and I did the same with the 9.1 and the 10 ... did not work ..
But maybe I did not understand. You say, for example, if I install the 9.1 should I try Kernell of 10? Does it make sense?
Please........ :crying:
Does WiFi work on Stock ICS 0.587 firmware ?
I am ashamed but I do not know what it is ...
I'm no expert, I have not yet figured out a lot of things ... I'm still learning ...
I followed a guide to root my device and install the cyanogen rom.
If I look in the device info read:
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-FXP root @ ubuntu # 6
Android version: 2.3.7
This is all I know ...
Before roottare the phone I upgraded the original operating system of the phone and the wifi stopped working.
Precisely for this reason I decided to install the CyanogenMod ROM: to try to recover the wifi.
The cm 7.2.0 did it. The newer versions like 9, 9.1 did not work ....
My question is .... why??? it is obvious that it is not a hardware problem ...Because if it were so it would not work even with cm 7.2.0 ...
I'd like to update my device to the latest stable CyanogenMod rom for my device which is 9.1 ..
But I can not because the wifi stops working ... Heeeeelp!!

i think you ALLWAYS forget to flah the needed kernel. (& allways have this old GB kernel) so only wifi works with this.
you should make sure you following the install EXACTLY.
also cm 9.1 is old like hell. this is also no stable release. at least i wouldnt call it like that.
Look for LX (Legacy xperia) which provides cm10.1 , 10.1 (jb) & 11 (kitkat) this is far more stable. also many bugs fixed there.
cm 9(.1) is abdonned long time
First of all .. Thank you so much for your help.
Ok .. I'll try .. I'm just worried because in thr LegacyXperia site I see a lot of bugs in the Working / not working lists..

ok good luck this time all works incl. wifi (should work 100% if doing all right)
i think the best is to test a rom 1st so you can say how it fits your usage . just a few tips:
-use minimal gapps after flashing rom
-LX 10.1 has a release candidatefrom march this year its a pretty stable daily driver. dont use the 10.2 release theres nothing better..
-maybe also you can test cm11 if want, but keep in mind 19/3 is the last PMEM build which is based on old kernel, will probably deliver the stablest experience. IMO the latest release is also very good but this contains some bug like the ANDROID_OS wakeclock (need power on phone on charger to avoid this) & its still in development (so its more for dev users)
for the buglist:
CM10.1:
- maps flickering its true but fixed in CM11
- wifi gets drops sometimes .. but it work at all
- camera is not good quality/buggy bcuz of driver lacks (also no 720p video)
CM11:
- sometimes wifi a lil bit buggy but its minimal. works like a charm for me
- 720p video is working here
BOTH:
-sometimes bluetooth battery drain after using it (need reboot to fix) i not face this is issue when i send something to friend.... (works normal..)
- NO FM radio, HDMI port will not work (if you have one) & ANT+ (no drivers)
good luck for you
Yesterday I installed the CM11 and ... it works!!!!
The wifi works! :good:and I like the rom.:good::good: ... so ... thanks a lot bejunk!!!! thanks thanks a lot!!!!! You are a great!!

np bro im happy you have now good rom & working wifi
just 1 thing if you use the latest version (02/07) it has a bug that you get android os battery drain. you can solve this by:
-power off phone
-plug in into charger & wait till you see the battery logo
-power on . done
Thanks again! The only problems with this rom are:
- the phone takes a long time to boot. Almost two minutes ... every time ..
- When the device starts up many icons disappear and others are in different positions ... I do not know why ...
Is there a way to fix these problems? Maybe I did something wrong during the installation ...

There's a Q&A section for that ROM. Anyway, long boot time should be fixed in the upcoming release. The simplest way to fix disappearing icons problem is to install another launcher. Hope I've helped.
A fast, smooth running Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with Nougat 7.1.1, is it possible? Sure, but it is best not to use the latest ROM build. After many tests and comparisons of various Nougat ROMs based on LineageOS I've found out this. The development of the ROM is ongoing very quick, but it's made for many devices. The performance of the CPU is not taken into account. Our S2 is now some years old (since 2011) and has only a CPU with two cores. Standard today is at least a phone with quad core CPU.
Comparing a Nougat 7.1.1 ROM from February 2017 with a current build clearly shows you that the older one runs much faster. This is mainly noticeable when scrolling or if you open apps. In the current ROM there are often lags, it simply needs more performance.
To get the maximum out, a few tweaks with a modded Kernel Adiutor from XDA are necessary, the CPU frequency is set to minimum and maximum 1200 MHz. The battery drain of course is a bit higher - not much, but you have more joy with a smooth running S2.
What do you need for this?
I did made the best experience with AICP 12.1 ROM, build in February 07 2017. you get it here. It runs very stable for daily usage. Only the camera app Snap.apk is buggy at video recordings. You can change this by installing the latest one in my attachment.
The modded XDA Kernel Adiutor is attached too.
The CPU and ondemand governor settings (CPU Governor Tunables) you see on my screenshots. Make sure that the "Apply on boot" toggle is set to on.

Jelly Bean has its own, "built-in" recovery. Unfortunately, I am not aware of whether you can take another recovery for it. I know there is a flashable CWM recovery via Odin for the S2 (I have it here). But this is intended for flashing custom ROMs.

Hi, good instruction.

I allways used this file "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-4.00b21-signed-JB.zip" and installed it via stock Recovery. (no waranty void message after rebooted system). Copy this file on your SDCard, reboot in Recovery Mode and flash it. Now you can keep runing your device on stock ROM or you can install a custom one with this recovery.

Thank you for information. The ROM is no more available on the AICP server. I did upload it to a one click hoster (upload.net) The link in my first post works now again.
Would you still recommend this rom today ? or would the official lineage 7.1.2 be better than this now ?

Compared with the latest AICP 12.1 build from 07/10 it's not necessary to jump back to this older version. The performance from all latest Lineage based ROMs became better. The only thing I use the Kernel Adiutor with the performance settings from my first post. I think you can also use the latest official plain vanilla Lineage 7.1.2.
Hi,
thanx for your instructions. I have tried it!
One problem with the setting where i'm unsure: at the end of the settings, the core2 disabled itself and the minimum frequency was set to 100 automatically. I changed the frequency back to 12.000. Is that OK, or should i leave it at 100 ?
btw. I still have installed stock_kernel_twrp_1120. Is that OK, or do i need another kernel?
Anyway, at this point the CPU tweak has made the perforance a little faster, but it's still much worse than Android 4.12
On 4.12 i was running 5 aktive apps the same time without problems. (Navi, RadarWarning, Mp3, GPSLog, + 1 temporarly app)
On Lineage 14.1 the Mp3 already beginns to stutter and the systems gets very slow when i run only 2 Apps. If i start more apps they beginn to chrash.
So i want to ask, is it possible somehow to get the same (or even better) performance with a custom rom like with the original stock 4.12 ?
Thanks for Info,
Rooster
Hi,
hmm - all settings are correct from the governor like the screenshots in Kernel Adiutor? Both CPU frequencies should set to 1200 MHz. In idle time core 2 stops to save battery, but it must switch up at load to 1200 MHz automatically.
The stock_kernel_twrp_1120 is okay to install this ROM. If you boot in recovery after installation you must see the newer TWRP 3.0.2-1 and you can flash the latest TWRP 3.1.0-0 as an .img file.
The problem with Nougat and most modern apps is, the generally RAM consumption gets higher and higher - that's the biggest bottleneck. So the S2 with only 784 MB comes faster to its limits at multitasking than with the latest stock ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and older, more slim apps. Unfortunately there is no chance to get a higher performance with Nougat. There you feel the age of our good old phone from 2011, it came first with Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
