[Q] Archos 101 G9 300Mb ROM limit? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After suffering for many months from terrible performance and performance that gets progressively worse, I've finally decided to abandon the stock ROMs (been through every single one since February 2012) and go with Clean&Slim (hoping it lives up to its name).
I also have this annoying problem with the "Indexing Files" which never stops and eventually crashes the tablet event with the very latest ROM .....28. So started this morning...
I've done the SDE thing and was about to push Clean_Slim&FastV02 to the tablet but realised that the recovery partition presented to Windows is only 300Mb and the ROM is 375Mb.
How do I get around this for a G9 ?
Thanks

You are doing it wrong. Did you read the install guide?
connect USB cable ( PC <-> Tablet ) ;
unzip Clean_Slim&FastV02.zip.zip
put archos.ext4.update in your device, or > adb push archos.ext4.update mnt/storage/
go to recovery SDE and Remove Android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !
go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo -> in the new driver that appeared !
Ok ! ... & wait to boot !

OK, I realised I was starting all wrong but I still don't understand which physical location to put the ROM file in if I choose not to use ADB?

OK, I now realise the ROM just goes in the ROOT. I've re-imaged. All is good. I wish everything was that easy! Thanks

It makes the tablet a little faster but don't expect miracles

Z902 is really rooted ?

HI,
I just got my Z902 Zero Device. This device came with a PATCH.APK that normally should root the device.
The strange thing is that for some "root" app is working , but for others don't.
Finally , i want to make some modifications to my /System , but i wasn't able to remount RW.
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: Read-only file system
I tried several ways to remount it , so i don't think is related to command syntax
Strange thing also , is that ADB SHELL ID :
uid=0(root) guid=0(root)
also i got the boot.img, and default.prop
#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=adb
But still not able to remount /system
Any ideas?
Thanks,
I'll answer myself , in case someone is running in the same problem.
Actually the problems seems to be a corrupt /system partition.
Solution :
I Used a 8GB sd card to install lubuntu on it. Once done , i TAR the content of my /system , and DELETE (format doesn't work) the partition, and create again.
Done that i put the contains in again , and voila
particion is RW , and i'm able to play with it
Cheers!

Apparently even easier to install the MK802 II firmware (revision 2 include uinput.ko, can't confirm this , i install the one in .com site).
Not sure if the rw was obtain in the new firmware by the flash process, or just heritage of my previous manipulation.

You re root nandd is corrupted. Try this
1) download livesuite
2) put the sd card in z902
No ouput image
Wait about 1 minute
3)unplug z902 and remove sdcard
4) plug z902 to windows pc
5) install the drivers
6) flash the mk802 ii image , avoid 0912 version of it,has a bug That will not boot on second try
That should do it.
If you have further problems ,i ll try to write a procedure in next days

As far as i know Z902 it's MK802 II rebranded.
Here you have the procedure to flash this device
http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=449
Nevertheless , for me is a LOT easier and faster to just put the sd card in the device and plug it in , and take it away 30 seconds after to put the device in rescue mode, and after that , flash with the livesuite.
I repeat , pay attention that you're not installing 2909 , is not going to boot at the second try. The original fw , as you will see is more new than the one that comes with the z902.
If you want to try 2909 , there's a workaround changing the playstore, didn't work for me.
At your disposal

Maybe you would find this interesting also
I achieve to install CM10 in my MK802II (a z902 actually).
I got the compatibility zip from
http://*******/DXTcY
i downloaded CM10 from the XDA christian throy topic.
i downloaded gapss from same topic.
i got the CWM5 image for livesuit (don't remember where). So, now to work.
There's a procedure that use the SD card to put the pen in recovery mode... i found usefull to put the SDCARD IN and plug the device , wait 30-60 seconds, unplug and take the sdcard (the device is going to put himself in recovery mode by itself because etc..etc..etc..)
Once this is done , plug the device to a windows computer (7 in my case). The device is going to be detected , and you can use the drivers that come with livesuit.
Once recognized use livesuit to flash the CWM img. PLUG the device to your TV (Need to use a USB keyboard , also supports USB mouse, but you will have to search on how it works).
Now you are seeing CWM. Leave it there , and put the GAPSS , CM10 and compatibility zip in the sd card. Put the SDcard in the device.
Wipe EVERYTHING you see (also in advance options).
NOTE: DOWN (DOWN),UP(UP), LEFT (SELECT),RIGHT(BACK) in the CWM.
FLASH IN THIS ORDER :
CM10
GAPSS
Compatibility
Should take a while to boot first time (more than 4 minutes is not normal in case you're wondering , if is the case , restart , you did something wrong).
I'm having a problem gettoing WIFI working , but i'm looking in to it

It took a while to get through this process but I managed. However, neither CM9 or CM10 allow you to use wifi. In CM10 you can't even turn it on and CM9, it looks like you have turned it on but nothing happens. I guess it's back to the stock 0822 ROM...

I did. The boot animation is better. It seems pretty stable but I used the 0822 img which is the best one of the bunch for me. The only thing that was weird was how it was rooted. You couldn't make any changes to the system folder.
It seems like every rom has at least one thing that is annoying and so we have to choose the one that is the best of the worst.
Thats actually the same that i ve . Is actually the one for mk802 I think, check you device info.what it says?
The rw problem is related to corrupted partition and no the rom. I formated and now I m able to rw

[Q] Asus TF201 "Launcher has stopped" ?

I own a rooted Asus Transformer Prime TF201 table with JB 4.1.1 (original), and have probably done something stupid... please help this Noob, as I've read so much when looking for answers the last 2 days -- now I'm thoroughly confused! (To tell the truth, wasn't that great of a root user before...)
My tablet won't get beyond "Launcher has stopped" error when booting.
I rooted several months ago, installed a custom bootloader graphic (still works), SuperSU, ROM Manager and some other rooted apps. I had flashed cyanogen rom "9" (I think) -- the stable one for Asus -- and was running fine. I thought I had done a nandroid backup (file on SD card).
Then I created my problem: I had messed around with the LED settings via ROM Manager, and then I think I changed the build.prop file value for VM heap stack from 256 to 512 ("governor" settings?). (I know, I know -- used to mess around a little with PCs and I should have known better what I was doing!)
Now I can't get homescreens or launch apps, or anything. "Launcher has stopped"
I can power off and power on (using power + volume buttons). My custom bootloader image comes into view after the ASUS logo -- but next I get the "Asus Keyboard is not installed" message with the "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped" message on top of that. Pressing the OK buttom just blinks and back to the errors.
I *can* get get to the settings, though.
Is a new tablet in my future?
Can anyone help me undo this mess I've made?? Help for the Noobs! Oh, and THANK YOU in advance for the trouble!
Hey!
Can you access the recovery mode? If yes:
1. Download the zip file attached to this post;
2. Put the holo.zip file in your sdcard;
3. Enter in recovery mode and flash the zip;
4. Reboot system;
5. Now you get Holo Launcher in your tablet!
Can't See Asus tablet from PC
Thanks for confirming that I am going about trying to fix this in the 'right' way!
I had never installed the SDK / android bridge to my Windows Vista 32-bit PC -- and I did that a couple days ago.
But I am not able to get root connected to the Asus. It shows as MTP device and I can see the sd card (also via Explorer in Windows)
I feel so dumb but I think the tablet can be rescued, if only I knew what to do!
Can you help me -- start from the beginning and help me get my Asus tablet working again??

I am not sure how to do this on nook tablet. Can anyone help me ?
Also does repartitioning of 16Gb needs to done with each rom install or once done , it stays the same through out ?

Hi, repartitioning doesnt need to be done with a new rom install.
IF THIS IS A CLEAN INSTALL
you dont HAVE to install it through flashing a new recovery using fastboot
you just need a working newer CWM , or a working TWRP that you can boot
if you can boot to an older Clockwordmod recovery in any form, you can flash a newer version of CWM to the internal by using a zip file , this user has a couple of the newest ones hosted here:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3j4kxa3bwkrs1/CLOCKWORKMODS <--------------------------------------------- my compilation of a few important CWM versions in case u dont like twrp (like me).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after you flash the new recovery, remove the SDcard, power completely down,
press and hold the "N" NOOK button, and hold the power button for just a second or 2 after you see the tablet boot, and you should be prompted for the new recovery that you just flashed.
---
the newer recoveries have an option on the boot menu to start fastboot. So, if you really wanted to follow the instructions to the letter, get or make a working sd card of a newer CWM recovery, boot to it, then as long as your adb/utilities folder on your PC has fastboot in it, you can fastboot the recovery-0.2.img as is in the cm11 thread.
I found I never had to use fastboot before this cm11 install , so I didnt even have the fastboot on my pc side and had to hunt it down.
my first several installs of CM11 were done using an older boot sdcard that had TWRP recovery on it and it works fine.
----
it will probably be a lot easier it you have a working tablet, to have the copied the zips for cm11 and the gapps you want to install to the tablets
internal memory first, before flashing the new recovery internally
---------- (I completely forgot this other possibility, I'm always just doing clean installs)
IF YOU WANT CM to automatically upgrade though the CM updater process on a running CM10
then , yes you need the newer recovery, and it probably is best if it is the recovery-0.2.img the developer posted in the CM11 thread.
I've never tried it so I dont know how well it migrates your "stuff" from CM10 to CM11
theres a lot of changes to the way storage is mounted in CM11 , and the CM updating process is an important thing they are trying to make as seamless as possible.
If theres stuff on the tablet you really need, I'd save it first before doing any kind of major upgrade like this.
Thanks. I might do a clean install itself. I dont have much stuff.
Actually i am moving to CM 11 in hope that it would be faster. Currently i cant rad the PDF on thios tablet. The scrolling is very stuttery.. gives me headache. If that too doesnt solve that issue , i might simply sell this one and get some nexus tablet.
I just need a tablet to read my study books.

the latest nightlies of CM11 on a 16GB tablet (has 1GB RAM) are fantastic. best thing ever, especially if you replace the kernel with one that user:demetris has supplied.
I havent run the CM11 on an 8GB (512MB RAM) tablet yet, but it really is a good package.
Its kinda like when Windows 7 came out, its what should have been released instead of XP or Windows 98, its really, really good.
Just tell me .. is flashing recovery via fastboot is same for all devices or for nook tablet its different. Also i need a SD card to do this ?
Can you help me how to flash recovery via fastboot for our nook tablet ?

hmmm...
Ive seen fastboot on other devices, Kindle Fires, which I think have a motherboard thats a close match to the NOOK tablet.
on the Kindle, you can force fastboot by using a special cable.
if you need fastboot on the NOOK, the recovery program that you execute at boot has to have the option to start fastboot.
you can boot a recovery that has that option from an internal recovery (CWM newer versions have it, I dont remember about older versions)
or you can boot from an SD card you make that boots a CWM recovery
in any scenario, for fastboot to work, you need a working ADB setup and the fastboot program on your PC
------
you can completely install CM11 without replacing the internal recovery partition of your NOOK which is what that fastboot instruction is trying to get you to do.
the special internal recovery, as I understand it, is only for compatability with the automated CM updating process.
you can boot from an SD card that has CWM 6.0.4.x , or TWRP , and as long as the CM 11 nightly is on the SDcard too, or in the NOOK internal memory, you can flash it.
I am more confused
can you take me step by step or link me to a relevant thread ?
I am sorry if i am taking your time ..

--------- assuming you want to update your NOOK's INTERNAL software, and not run CM11 from an SDcard
I apologize had wrong file linked first post
this zip file should be flashable through your current CWM (6MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0f5fjkjvxp1hga0/flashable_CWM_6.0.4.5(2).zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48855275&postcount=2
it should update your internal recovery to cwm 6.0.4.5
then you should be able to flash the CM11 nightly and gapps without error
--------------------------
a different (I think slightly more dangerous) way to load the newer recovey to your internal was posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48317620&postcount=15
get the newest recovery image file -
File: http://goo.im/devs/chrmhoffmann/cm-11.0/acclaim/recovery-0.2.img
md5sum: e2a87c433171b3d97d852d27aea1ff49
-------
You can install it from a terminal emulator, if you want to.
1. Download the cwm-recovery.img file referenced in the first post of the thread.
2. Copy this file to the internal memory of your Nook Tablet. Rename this file to cwm.img.
3. On your Nook Tablet, launch Android Terminal Emulator (ATE).
4. In ATE, type in 'su' [ENTER]. Grant it access when prompted.
5. In ATE, type in 'cd /emmc' [ENTER]. This will change your file system current directory to /emmc, which corresponds to the internal storage drive.
6. In ATE, type in 'ls' [ENTER]. This will list the contents of the /emmc directory. You should see the cwm.img file you copied over and renamed earlier (step 2).
7. In ATE, type in 'dd if=/emmc/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3' [ENTER]. This will write the contents of the cwm.img file to partition 3 of device mmcblk0 (internal memory).
You should now be able to reboot and use cwm. CAREFUL, as you could brick your device if you get step 7 wrong.
nvm
@mikeataol
It worked perfectly. Just flashed it and it udpated to lastest CWM.
Installed CM 11 and got GApps and installed them too. Now downloading some PDF apps to see if they work smoothly and no stuttering is there.
In CM 11 , there is no option for "reboot to recovery" , why so ? I had to use cnyaboot option to enter into recovery.

Great!
re: reboot recovery
you have to unlock developer options first by going into
Settings/ About Tablet / Build Number
and tapping the "build number" field 7 times.
then you see a new settings group "developer options",
and in there is advanced reboot and other things.

are you on an 8GB / 512 MB ram, or a 16GB 1GB RAM Nook tablet?
Lol , just found that reboot to recovery , came here to say i found , you already replied.
Installing bexus kernel.
Thanks a lot for your help.
One thing though. The scroll stuttering issue is there . Its as if the screen refresh rate or frames per second is not upto the mark , scrolling is very stuttering.
Is there any way to increase or solve this issue ? Please
this is killing the whole tablet and the purpose i want to use this tablet .. ie to read books.
I use 16Gb/1GB tablet
ok ran into issue
After flashing gapps and installing kernel , i am stuck with andoid.phone stopped working error as soon as the tablet boots.
What is the gapps to be used for CM 11 on tablet and is bexus interfering with the gapps ?
how to enable multi touch ?
Also i think there is a serious problem with the screen/display. There is considerable lag and its not smooth scrolling. Its very stuttery...

I would not enable the multi touch, thats just asking for even more trouble.
I think you should consider a total re wipe , and start over
on a 16GB Nook Tablet, the nightly just by itself should run fine
i just downloaded and opened a 71mb pdf file with no issues whatsoever
opens in Adobe reader just fine, scrolling and zooming and searching is perfectly acceptable, nothing I would describe as a stutter
----
if you HAD enabled the multi touch while you were on CM10, I'd consider reflashing the stock LCD firmware before you put CM11 back on it
yeah flashed thrice and i have witheld flashing bexus kernel for time being.
Stutter in the way , the refresh rate is not upto the mark
To best see this issue , dont swipe a text/pdf fast , do it slowly then you will see the jerkiness and also a lag between your swiping and actual screen change.
LCD firmware ? where to get it ?

to me, seeing a white page while adobe pdf loads the next buffer of pages several pagesahead is normal
I dont see anything abnormal while swiping slowly
re: LCD firmware
if you were on CM10, and fashed the 10 point LCD firmware, then I think you would need to rebuild the unit back to CM10, and reflash the stock LCD firmware.
I dont know how to explain , but look carefully when scrolling (slowly) , you will see tests stuttering as its been scrolled .
I am on CM 11 , do you want me to go to CM 10 ? and flash that firmware?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aatt.fpsm&hl=en
Used this app and saw that fps varies and it varies like from 7 - 50 during reading pdf.
On slow scrolling of pdf , it only shows 11 or so fps , which is why i think shows the stuttering effect
Used the same app on my GS3 to see the difference and it holds its FPS at 60+ and not dropping below 50.
I think if i can make this tablet to render everything at 30+ fps i might not feel this stuttering effect.
Which PDF reader are you using?
I don't have any stuttering issue on the Mantano Reader.

[Q] root a fustion5 xtra allwinner A31 tablet? Yonestoptech bs1078

Hi,
I just got a fusion5 xtra tablet from a seller on ebay. 10.1" quad core-A31 Series for 90 pounds.
I have tried a couple of tools, z4root and another pc based one, to no avail. I have seem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143581 and other similar threads for other allwinner a31 devices, but this tablet has no update program on it.
tools seem to think there is an su binary(z4root and AnTuTu both think it is rooted) , but it is not rooted properly.
just wondering if anyone else has had any joy?
full spec is:
fusion5 xtra

android 4.4.2

AnTuTu shows it as a YonesToptech, BS1078, AllwinnerTech A31,
Thanks for any help, or even if you can post the apk for the update program from the Onda tablet.
thanks, Chris
ok so I managed to root it with vroot. This tool is not recommended here and I am still motoring the network from the device to see if it dials home. the only worrying thing I have seen is the maxathon browser going back to Bejing at a potentially dodgy IP, which was there already.
for the PC side, I did it on a VM and snapped it back once done.
search on here for vroot and decide if you want to risk it.
Yes,I just got this tablet from Amazon. thought it was a great price, but rooting is total pain! read up about vroot here on XDA, a few are worried about malware etc, it's the first device I've got that rooting is a nightmare. And what's with maxthon browser? If root works for this tab,the first thing that will be going will be that dodgy browser!

I managed to get into standard recovery via via comp by running adb reboot recovery. but for some reason the volume buttons won't let me highlight anything, only the power button lets met reboot the tablet.

that is as far i have got with recovery.. can't change the option..
I used
vroot to root it (as said in a vbox machine so could snap it back and leave nothing on the pc)
i used network connections to see what network traffic was going on
titanium backup to trim out anything i didn't like the look of maxathon browser, 4k video and something called dragonphone and dragonfire (no idea what these are!)
and used xposed to add kitkat features back, multiple users for one and other tweaks.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
installed avast a/v it hasn't suggested anything is bad.
still trying to get google plus app to install.. haven't tried too hard yet tho.
I use xposed on my phones(mk based)Will use vroot, only because all other possible ways rooting do not work.maybe it's because it's kitkat or something else.

just a quick update after rooting fusion5 extra tablet.so far so good.got rid of a few apps that i knew shouldn't be there.only moan i have is i can`t use my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse(mk270)i able to use on them on my mk809ii android tv stick.on that it worked first time on the fusion i have no joy.maybe its the mini usb port or maybe the little receiver doesn't like the ota cable that came with the tablet but my P.S.3 keyboard works fine.and of course still no luck in finding out why the volume controls don't work in recovery.just have to keep looking for an answer,or try to find a way to install a touch screen version of cwm recovery.

Thought I had sussed the Google+ thing by using the market helper app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216
It let me find it and try to install it, but it ended up saying missing library...
The missing library issue is related to google maps libraries missing.
The two files required are in the zip attached. Use Root browser to put them in the following locations.
the xml file in /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
the jar file in /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
set permissions to RW-/R--/R-- for both files.
Reboot.
And all apps that use location access/maps will now work. But yes, you will need market helper to get Plus to appear in the market to start with.

tested and works on my allwinner a31

Rom customizer(from google play store) lets you remove items from rom (stay gone after hard reset(be careful)) although I couldn't remove dragon phone as it was not listed but you can manually remove this after ahard reset
My Questions:
1/ Where can I find the android 4.4 Kitkat rom for this device its being sold with 4.4 now so must be around some ware
2/ What is the key combination to enter recovery mode
3/ I understand you need a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom rom on this device anyone done this ?

ROOT GENIOUS roots in 2 clicks, avail as English v erosion too, search the Web for it. Installs the CWM version of SU

provide basic recovery . hook up a mouse to the mini usb, and when your in recovery moving the mouse will highlight selections, volume up is to accept . allows you to install from internal and external sd which is great, just make sure zip is signed first.

using tablet through hdmi IMHO is BETTER than tv boxes. no browser close issues, very stable, latest firmware, Ii wish I had never wasted cash on those tv sticks. this is the way to go

Hello guys,
Is there a possibility to update the "archos 10.1 (gen8)"
from android froyo 2.2 to android 4.4??
And if it is possible would it be worth it to do that ?
Will speed and so increase the tablet?

Here is the link to ICS (4.0.x): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941377
And here is the link to GB (2.3.x): http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread (there is also a thread on this forum)
Unfortunately the openaos site seems to be down right now (was up in the morning and last night when I answered you) but anyway I did find cm9 (ics) to be more stable and "usable" (less bugs than actually affect usability) than cm7 (gb) although no doubt quite a bit slower than cm7, but again that's me that has at least 300 apps installed on each android device and that goes back to since I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 and turned it from an windows mobile device to an android one and the specs on that were way lower than the ones on the gen8.
Also feel free to ask any questions you may have related to our gen8 tablets, I am one of the "lost souls" still using this tablet and I can say that judging by the fact that I bought this quite soon after it was released (at least in my country) I can say it has served me well since then and I still think it is a decent device (although I do now have a much better and much more powerful tablet device too, my 101it is still a fun thing to play around with).
Hello again I will give it a try now.
Any idea where I can download the kernel ?
Because the download link doesn't work on the link you gave me for android 4.
I just posted for it.
Would you still have it or could you reupload this for me?
Would be awesome.

The link that you are talking about that isn't working is the kernel source link (which is actually very unfortunate) and not the kernel itself, the kernel can be downloaded from the attachments of the first post in the thread (a zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs files)
Hello again ,
I will set it on a row:
1. Cm9 image download (ok)
2. Initramfs.cpio.gz download (ok)
3. Kernel download
(which files are the kernel to download zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs??)
I can't see a link to the zimage ?? Can you give me the correct link?
4. Data.img.tar.gz download (ok)
Install kernel by SDE menu
(ok I know how to get in the SDE menu but what steps I have to do there?)
Where to configure menu.Ist (is that the one I downloaded in the attachements downstairs?
What about the terminal ? How to enter the terminal to activate Bluetooth?
What is the swap configuration??
Ok and one last question, at the moment my Archos 10.1 gen8 is running on Urukdroid must I remove the sd card for this procedure and reinstall the SDE firmware or not?
Or is this method for cm9 (android4) not like urukdroid method??
Sorry for all my questions but I don’t want to make mistakes.

There are a few files starting with zImage, chose one of the 3 of them and rename it to just zImage (no extension and don't extract it although when youu will download it it is an archive, just rename it to zImage and I can't really tell you which one to choose cause I do not know which of the 3 will work best for you, I personally use the 35% one.
To flash it you will use the same procedure as for urukdorid but you will loose access to urukdroid, though you don't need to remove your card and also AFAIR the OpenAOS multi-boot menu does not have the ability to boot at tablet boot (or I am wrong, not sure) so you might have to reboot in recovery and run developer version each time you want to boot it.
You could also use kboot for even more multi-boot and being able to still use urukdroid, I think I posted a mirror for the files on it's thread, or at least I wanted to, if I didn't I will. BUT if you do want this first backup the urukdroid kenrel and initramfs, I can tell you how to do it if you intend to do this, if loosing access to urukdroid is ok for you then I'd say don't bother, uruk isn't that great, you can get the same things on stock after getting root on it, though I could still recommend using it as that's the only way to have rooted stock using the kernels here on the forums or being able to boot also GB and/or debian/bodhi/whatever other linux distro you fancy.
For the OpenAOS boot menu you indeed need to download that menu.lst and put it on the storage, it is already setup for booting CM9 so you don't really need to do much more here.
Swap is already configured so you don't really need to do anything about that or worry about it, it's just info and for the bluetooth I think terminal emulator comes preinstalled so you do the commands in there but I would recommend creating a bash script and downloading SManager from play store and using that to create a homescreen shortcut to your script (I could also share you my script if you would like later after I charge my archos.
Also there is no initramfs.cpio.gs that was a typo, it's actually .gz so you have the right file and the kernel is the zImage.
In the SDE menu just do the steps you did when you flashed urukdroid but only place the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage without a 3rd file (if I remember correctly the steps for flashing urukdroid), I can't really tell you what steps to do in there as I don't really remember, it's something like go in the repair menu and click flash developer firmware or something along those lines I think.
EDIT: Also if you intend to edit the menu.lst file for whatever reason (if you want to use kboot to add the CM7 kernel and use that to boot CM7 and/or debian for example) don't use windows notepad, instead install notepad++.
Ok this makes some things clear to me
Yeah is also a long time ago urukdroid installing.
I found the guide from it but it seems idd similar to your explanation.

ok I Installed Kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz
But what about installing cm9 image?

2. I did uncompressed data.img.tar.gz, I choosed one of the 3 images and renamed it to data_ICS.img
3. I did copy the 2 files to the root.
But what now how to install it? That's not specificly said how you must do it.

You need to also drop the menu.lst file on the internal memory and have the cm9 image named as CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6.img then just got to recovery and boot the developer edition firmware and you will be greeted by a boot menu with just one item, click power and it will boot and that's it.
You don't really install anything, the tablet will boot from the img file and use the data.img file as the data partition, that's all (and if you decide to move any apps to the sd card aka internal memory don't boot in an other android os like stock because the android_secure folder will be wiped, though I am not sure CM9 allows you to, I know CM7 does).
Also I have uploaded kboot and it is on the thread in the development section if you want to use that for more flexible multi-boot (or at least to have the multi-boot menu loaded at every normal boot without needing to enter recovery to boot ics), although now it will be a bit hard to obtain the uruk kernel in case you still want to boot that, it is possible, you just need a linux computer or the ext2fsd driver in windows, I can't really give you the kernel from my installation of it since I understood yours is on the sd card and mine is on the internal memory.
And if you would like I can give you kboot already set up with the stock root kernel and all the 3 ics kernels to make it easier for you.
Ow ok will try tomorrow.
Euhm yeah urukdroid is no more on tablet I think I installed last sde firmware.
The kboot is that for switching between then Linux similar system and android 2.2 and android 4 and maybe urukdroid if I reinstall it (not necessary for the Moment?)
Yeah I will try out that kboot you may send it to me if you want. Maybe it's cool feature
Thanks in advance

If urukdroid was on the internal memory and you just installed the sde firmware it was not removed and I can send you my uruk kernel, if you first went to recovery and did a full format and then installed the full firmware and then the sde then it is no more on the tablet.
If it was on the sd card then nothing affected it unless you put the card in the pc and used something like minitool partition wizard to delete all partitions and I can not give you the kernel.
Yes, kboot is a chroot based multi-boot menu (think GRUB but unable to boot non-linux kernels, I think) and it allows booting android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0 and linux distributions as ubuntu (although the ubuntu for archos files are gone but you can still use it to boot the kernel from OpenAOS and boot debian from that bootmenu, which will be the same boot menu you will get from android 4.0 though you can not boot stock or debian from that as the kernel is different, well you might be able to boot it but most things won't work, like wi-fi and the likes).
Ok, I will send you my already set up kboot but first tell me if your urukdroid instalation was on the sd card or internal memory and what you exactly did to the tablet cause then I might be able to throw in my uruk krenel and thus you will also once again have access to that as well.
Hello first of all I wanted to say I just got into android 4.4.
But when I start it up I get a lot of messages that are saying.
This application doesn't work anymore.
Any idea what this could be?
Hmm after looking I restarted it and now it works better the android 4.4
But how do you put something on the internal memory if I connect them with usb to laptop I can't acces the root with all my files.
Greetings

It is clearly stated that you can't access the internal memory via msc on the ics thread, only the sd card, and that is also true for any firmware that boots from an img file since the img is on the internal memory and that would mean cutting the system's access to itself=crash.

Hello again,
Owkey now if I start up my tablet android 2.2.1 startsup
(firmware version: 2.4.83)
I did set the iso file from cyanobiz_BETA2.6.img on my internal memory.
So cm9 boots nice on the tablet but I must go first to the SDE (by pushing volume + ) then a see a white menu -> developer edition -> and chose cyonade and it start good
Urukdroid was installed on my sdcard but that doesn't start anymore as standard at moment. don't know why?
Before I started with cm9 I installed the latest SDE firmware for archos 10.1 gen8. (and the procedure to runb cm9)
Would it work with your kboot file so I can choose between:
android 2.2 (Archos),
Android 4 (CYANOBIZ)
Angstrom (openAOS)
urukdroid 1.6 (not in the menu)

Kboot will make it load at boot so it will go to the boot menu instead of stock 2.2 from where u can choose what to boot or (after a period of time) it will just boot your last selection.
Yes from Kboot you can choose to boot any of those though I really wouldn't recommend Angstrom (I don't even think you can still find a rootfs.img for it, if you still have it on your internal memory please upload) cause it is really limited and also I don't think OpenAOS made a kernel for Angstrom and it'll be quite hard to get the kernel from the SDL aos package (though I do have a kernel that can boot it directly, compiled from the stock 2.2 sources, NOT by me). In theory you can edit the menu.lst to launch Angstrom for it but remember you must edit it with Notepad++ and not any other windows text editor (notepad, word, etc) and you will need to know the format for booting a linux image file (I can tell you what that is) and just add the OpenAOS CM7 (gingerbread) kernel also and use that to boot Angstrom, never boot ANYTHING ELSE when loading the boot menu with the ICS kernel, you will have the same options but you must always remember you CAN'T launch anything else than ICS when launching the OpenAOS boot menu with the ICS kernel. But if you are actually interested in running linux I'd say just go the debianlxde way (download from OpenAOS site) as it is so way much better than Angstrom.
To boot UrukDroid you will need to either have linux installed on your PC/laptop or boot a live cd, put the MicroSD Card in a card reader and connect it and then search the uruk partitions to find the zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz (they might have some slightly different names) and put those in a new folder in the kboot os folder, of if you want I could probably unpack the UrukDroid install and update packages to find the right kernel for you but as I can't really remember what tools I need for doing that you will have to wait about 2-3 weeks (I have exams and also bought myself a Nintendo New 3DS XL that I plan to hard mod after I finish with the exams and do a nand dump and try to edit the firmware and flash it back to see what I can obtain so that's gonna take me about 1-5 days as I am not the best with soldering things on motherboards). You will also have to wait that exact same amount of time if you want me to tell you from where on the UD partitions to find the kernel files as I do not know myself and will have to search for them.
