Ok, I've had a search and can't find what I'm looking for so maybe someone here can help.
Just installed CM11 on my 101G9, all seems to be ok, BUT I have an aversion to the "cellphone" layout instead of the more "classic" Archos button, status bar, etc, layout.
How do I change things so it's more like the "normal" Archos layout which is easier on my fat fingers (which have trouble getting the status bars at the top of the screen to drop when necessary)?

Hello, i done the same things, and i have too cellphone option ! but most of all, camera doesn't work ! i'm using Archos 101 G9 250 go !
Bugs or not?
I have tried the ROM. It's great! But I have some problems:
- Accelerator, x and y reversed. No way to play a game like Need for Speed.
- / System is ro, can't be remounted to rw. Is there no rw kernel?
Does anyone have these problems too?

Problem with Android Debug Monitor
Hi,
I'd like to post in the thread in the development forum, but I can't because I have too few posts.
My problem is that ADB works without any problem, but the Android Debug Monitor just doesn't work. Stangely, it shows the tablet in the list, but without a name. I already tried to get it to work on linux, but I have the same problem there, either. Is it my or the tablet's fault? I'll attach a screenshot that shows the problem.
By the way, is it normal that there are lots of "ERROR opening temp sensor: No such file or directory" errors in the logcat?

Shame on me... Thanks a lot. The remount-option of my file-manger doesn't work. (Maybe KitKat restrictions). This way is ok. So I'll generate a symbolic link and Adaway works again. Thanks!
And what about this:
- Accelerator, x and y reversed. No way to play a game like Need for Speed.
Does anyone have an idea?

Problem solved:
Switching from CM11 11_05_2014-21_19_00 to build 06_06_2014-21_46_36.
Now it works. Including the camera.
Hardware accelerated video player
Did anybody try stock archos videoplayer with its (paid) hardware decoder on CM11?
I use this device on regular basis as a video player for my children, and there are lots of cartoons that non-hardware-accelerated player does not play.
What bothers me:
1) I suspect that the android 3.0 player with the hardware supprot will not run on 4.* CM. But may be I'm mistaken since there is 4.0.4-based stock rom.
2) The ac3 plugin was sold as an aos-file - what is it and how can I install it in the CM?
So, if anybody tested this and has postive/negative feedback, please share it?

I've compiled a simple app to be able to easily mount to your PC any given partition.
Feel free to donate if this app is of any use to you. Much appreciated.
Please note that changes to the drive will not be saved if you do not properly unmount/eject the drive from PC (in Ubuntu: right click, unmount. In Windows, eject.).
For those using stock browser, apk files often fail to download.. You can install Astro explorer and activate downloads in settings (last option). Then you should be able to download this file.
Dolphin should work without issues..
This is a Beta release.
This requires a working root (su). By that I mean your nook must be rooted. Regarding HC, see j4mm3r's thread.
This can be used, for example, to open your SD or internal data on your PC..
You can mount pretty much any partition to your computer with this app:
- SD
- Media (internal drive for your media and documents...)
- SD Partitions (up to 4)
- Internal storage - BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS!!
There are two "mount points" on the nook (lun0 and lun1)
So you can simultanously mount two partitons.
As an example, you can mount SD on 1st and MEDIA on the 2nd.
Each mount point has it's own tab.
Please try it out and post feedback.
Thank you.
EDIT (13.02.2011):
This has been tested on HoneyComb and Froyo (not in Eclair 1.0>1.1).
In Froyo: USB Mass Storage (Notification bar) should be turned off.
Compatibility mode will need to be disabled in Spare parts (reboot required).
If this doesn't work for you, try entering manually in ADB while NC plugged in to your PC:
Code:
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
And post result here.
Sam
----------------
UPDATES:
13-02-2011: 0.2b => minor bugs and made app scrollable for Froyo Landscape
26-02-2011: 0.3b:
- Changed 'settings' label (mistake) to system.
- Added a "Make sure you properly unmount/eject drive from PC when finished" message when mounting.
- Added dual boot system and data (p9 and p10).
- Changed 'Confirm mounting' to 'Confirm', as poster suggested. Thanks.

Hmm can't quite seen to get it to work right. The app does nothing for me when I select a partition to mount. I can get the SD card mounted via android's USB connected notification. I've tried the app with it turned on and off. It's got super user, so that's not it. By the way, I'm running Froyo 6.7 off the eMMC. Let me know what to try.
EDIT: Got it to work after running the ADB command in 1st post. Awesome app, thanks.
Sam,
Thank You, you program made my day. It works great, I have been messing with vold.fstab for days and I could only mount the boot of my sdcard. So, I went with manually pushing file to /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/luno/file which worked but your app make the process much better.
Again Thank you for everything you have done.

Could this work as a Xbox media storage? I want to get a new demo, and I got no Hard Drive
Works great!
this is great! i was thinking (since your help in the other thread) about trying to cobble something like this together myself in android app creator suite but didnt know if i could manage or not. Now i dont need to even try! thank!
EDIT: 2 things, one, is it possible to have this setting survive a reboot? and secondly, is the display supposed to be tiny? it only fills like a third of the screen and is centered at the top. this is on emmc froyo 0.6.7 the screen is scrollable as you said so just have to scroll down for the confirmed button
Does it unmount them on the nook when they are attached to the PC? I was playing with the echo command and it seems that the nook is unable to see any changes to the filesystem. I wrote a script that unmount them then runs the echo statement. Then another script that remount them once they are disconnected.
Good question. As I said, this is beta. I'm open to any suggestion. From what I tested, changes did actually occur even when mounted on android..
Unchecked compatibility mode in spare parts and reboot for fullscreen..

Interesting. I did see that if you try to download / install directly from the HC browser it doesn't work. Perhaps people do this instead of trying with their computer and assume it doesn't work? Downloads don't equal successful installs.
For Windows users, it (currently) provides the only way to mount the 4th partition of my HC SD card. Am I mistaken? Perhaps others don't realize what this is or are put off by the UI?
Keep it up. This is a much needed utility ATM.
The UI isn't THAT awful, is it?
Anyway, this can help a lot of people, especially the ones not too familiar with ADB..

To a person familar with partitions and the android file system it's fine. To those expecting a more fruity / friendly UI, it's far from it. However, you can't please everyone and it might be a waste of your energy to try. It's practical / functional and that's all I need it to be.
Indeed it can, much preferred over ADB even though I can use it just fine. You might want to make it more clear in the OP that users that have problems may need to type "adb shell" before the echo command. Not everyone will know this.
You app works well Sam! I can finally access my media partition via USB. I am looking forward to updates. Perhaps retaining setting after a reboot? Great work man!
Works great! I downloaded it with dolphin browser (running froyo on emmc) Then used root explorer to navigate to downloads and just clicked to install. Doesn't get any easier than that!
Would it be possible to have it mount media partitions? Like if I have dual boot setup would it be possible to mount the extra partitions to edit them?
Which media partitions?
Right, forgot about dual booters.. I'll implement that in 0.3..
Thanks.

Love the app!!!! but i got a issue now... There is no way for me to browse the media partition on the device... so I can not access my pictures that I placed on the internal storage...any insight?

Hello there,
I am new to the forum and pardon me if I post the thread in wrong place. I have got viewsonic G tablet and I am running gtabcomb 3.3 beta , bootloader 1.2 v.
Everything is working fine however there are some issue that is really irritating.
1. I have noticed the tablet does not respond to touch sometimes specially when the battery level goes around 70%. rebooting the tablet does not solve the issue. I have tried the touchcaliber app found somewhere on the forum but it seem to solve the issue momentarily.
2. i do not seem to mount my external hard drive or flash drive from the usb port. I tried all different file formats i.e. ntfs, ext3 , ext 4.
Thats all for now.
thanks in advance for any replies.
Take it easy.

You should be able to mount all three filesystem types manually. Automounting, however, only works if the filesystem type is either VFAT (AKA FAT32) or extn. And, if you use an external HDD, it may have to be independently powered--instead of being powered via the USB.
See this thread and this one.
Hello,
Sorry it took little longer to reply,
I could not try your suggestions as I ran into some other problem. apparently I did not have any terminal application. When I tried to install an application from market it is showing me error about purchase can not be made.
Market finds applications for me but does allow me to install. Looks like its broken on my tablet.
So now I need perhaps market fix !! I do not know.
I am literally lost.
Thanks
If you have adb set up, you can use that instead of using a Terminal Emulator:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration"[/B]
As for Market not working, curse Google, then see this post.
I must thank you a lot. for the first time after 6 months , my tablet runs so smooth with your solution.
I have installed new market from .apk suggested in your post. its working fine as of now.
I am able to mount my usb flash drive in ext4 formatted via a program drive mount however I have some .mpg video files on it that is not displayed. it can see .mp3 file and directories on the drive but no videos.
UPDATE
I will keep updating issues about Webtop on my website. I won't copy those analysis or finding to here to reduce redundancy and effort....
Demo Video
What is this about?
In short, you can use this to activate Webtop mode and see the virtual pad on the phone with an HDMI cable only.
In long, this is a runtime MOD that can simulate the docking event of the HD dock so that the virtual pad will come up. Together with the hw.whisper trick, the Webtop option can then show up and being selected.
This mean if you set the hw.whisper manually, you could still see the Webtop option. Be sure to set this using root before plugging in the HDMI cable.
To make this ease of use and able to simulate the docking event, an APP has been written to do the runtime MOD for you.
This app requires ROOT privilege.
Why is it called Nebtop?
Well, everything needs a name.
HDMI Cable \ + Nebtop -> \Nebtop -> Webtop
For sure, the phone must have webtop built-in for this to work.
What is the difference of this MOD comparing to the existing system apk MOD?
Fenny's MOD was the first that allows exactly the same result for various Moto phones. That was the first important foundation for further improvement.
The runtime MOD done by Nebtop has the advantage of not changing anything persistently. So in the worst scenario the kernel will panic and cause reboot only.
Also, this MOD is trying to be universal, for different phones and ROMs that supports Webtop. Even it failed for kernel compatibility issues, if it can be done, it will be done.
Tested device
Razr (Tested by me)
Atrix, Atrix 2
Photon
Bionic
Droid 4
Feel free to try it on your Webtop workable device with an HDMI cable! As the least request, please report whether it works for you and what phone and ROM you're using so that I could keep this MOD by APP improved.
Download it here: https://sites.google.com/site/androidnothize/nebtop
Or search Nebtop in Market.
Enjoy!
If you think that it helps you and would like to support my work, you could always find the latest version from market which is a paid version.
Special thanks
Fenny for the first for the Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock breakthrough.
Turl from the atrix dev team for the hw.whisper trick.
Just tried it out; although I was using the botched CDMA hacked webtop the trackpad display came up but no function; It does show that it is connected to a dock though which is a good step in the right direction.
Do you have the original webtop files available in a zip format to flash through CWM or possibly full ROM for CDMA Verizon?
* reloaded razrx rom; now webtop shows top left only of my screen but still no control from the phone itself
** reset phone; full screen but still no responsive phone pad
*** loaded nitro deodexed; still no response to the phone pad, displays fine but the new display comes up blank as the rest
**** loaded another stock rooted rom 744; no change in phonepad function; phonepad appears and can rotate, extent of function
CDMA Verizon
Kernel 2.6.35.7

Works fantastically on stock outside of the safe strap rom

Yeah I can do that, what files do you need?
Will need the logcat -v time when you loaded Nebtop and see the virtual pad on the phone, that cannot rotate or won't pop keyboard or have no effect when moving.......
Also try those home,back,setting and search keys.
And make sure you have a clean reboot before testing since sometimes webtop can fall into an unstable state as I've tried which will only be cleared after phone reboot.

I am unable to generate a log file for you; I even attempted adb shell within a terminal emulator on the phone; [email protected]_spyder:/# basically saying the device is offline, I reset the adb server a couple times and it didn't help.
What works:
Displays the virtual pad and rotates
What doesn't:
The screen becomes unresponsive, the display which mirrors the phones display is blank, and none of the virtual keys work, including the hard keys such as home, back, etc.
I have reset the phone and used multiple roms for CDMA however I can't seem to get it working. I have fixed permissions, each wipe I do data, cache, format system, and wipe dalvik cache (although it gives me an error about E: SD-ext).
If you have any suggestions to get the ADB service back up and recognizing itself I will gladly get you logcat files.
*Side Note: I know it isn't my PC drivers or my Mac; I attempted to get adb running on all including the terminal inside the phone; all say the device is offline, is it possible it has something to do with safestrap?
I thought once installed SSHDroid, you could use ssh/PuTTY to access the terminal from PC, gather the log and redirect to a file, then finally scp to copy the file back to PC.
Or use another SwiFtp app for file transfer as the default install of SSHDroid failed to initiate the scp for me.

Hi,
I've got an Archos 80 G9 and I have been having problems with native support for My Xbox 360 controller.
My setup includes a micro-usb to usb Female adpater in which I have a Xbox Wireless Reciever (Official version).
I attempted some research and according to the Archos changelog
Xbox gamepads are now supported.
I am able to sync the controller with my tablet and then navigate arround the app shortcuts.
When I boot up Shadowgun I am able to navigate the menus but when I boot up into a level as soon as I touch any control the character begins to spin and the controls are disfunctional except from the left analogue to move and the A button for action. I am also unable to use the keybinding functions.
When I use n64oid the support is "better" I can keybind most of the controles except the d-pad and the right analogue stick - the same keys unbindable/disfunctional in Shadowgun.
I am not sure if USB/BT joystick centre is supported on the Archos 80 G9 but I can not make it work with any applications, the Software picks up the controller and shows the keybindings functioning correctly but I can not use the controller in any apps.
My device is running the Rooted firmware availible from this forum version 4.0.5.
Some more research uncovered that the tablet is perhaps just using a generic driver to control the Xbox controller but I am unsure how to correct this issue.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I've got an Archos 80 G9 and I have been having problems with native support for My Xbox 360 controller.
My setup includes a micro-usb to usb Female adpater in which I have a Xbox Wireless Reciever (Official version).
I attempted some research and according to the Archos changelog
Xbox gamepads are now supported.
I am able to sync the controller with my tablet and then navigate arround the app shortcuts.

I have to say that personaly i have your same setup, but, i have tried the controller and have had no problems, atleast with the mame emulator... did you format the tab after the upgrade to ics?
Him I'm glad to hear at least someones has had success with the Xbox controller.
In terms of formatting I can't say I did.
Would you reccomened I reinstall everything again?
The proccess I took was:
Paul's root
SDE menu enabled
Remove Pauls root
Load up the custom firmware in recovery
Update
Where in this process should I be formatting? Also are you referring to the 'format device' function in the recovery menus?

Just to check: are all of the buttons in the n64oid bind able? My controller sort of works but as I said the d-pad and left analogue sticks are not bind able and bring up a 'none' under key bindings.
Thanks

I'll try binding keys with the n64droid emulator, and try to see how shadowgun works with it.... what I did was, download the latest ICS firmware from archos, go to the recovery menu (volume + button at start-up) and did a device reformat, after that, when it asked me for the firmware I copied the file i downloaded... after that, if you want root, just download an ICS rooted firmware, copy the file to the internal storage, and from the SDE menù, flash the kernel and initframfs... you don't need to re-enable sde, that will stay there.

Have to say, the right analogue stick doesn't work, or the directional keys... everything else seems to work... will try to find a fix, because indeed it does create problems in games like shadowgun

I still recommend that you reformat the device, since ICS runs faster if it's a clean install

I have fond this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407804&page=2
However when I try to follow the instructions on a virtual terminal I encounter a problem:
This is apparently what I should be doing:
su
cd /system/usr/keylayout/
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl
However when I get to mount -o remount,rw /system I am told that 'can't find /system in /proc/mounts' Is there some kind of problem with the root? I tried to make /system RW put it refuses to acknowledge its there.

Interesting find! Will look into this
Any tutorial? how to connect xbox controler to archos g9?
Just purchased Riptide GP
Manged to keybind everything perfectly and plays very well.
Starting to think the problem is not with my archos but with Shadowngun and N64oid.

Seems to be related with some games yes... you might be able to solve the problem with an application that can manage keybinding... still looking into the problem, don't have a lot of time today...
