Hey guys,
let's try to get Ubuntu working on our tablets.
adbd is included in the images, so you have a root shell over adb
SDE required.
Extract all.
adb push ubu1204.img.ext4 /data/media/
Reboot - SDE - Flash kernel and initrd
Multiboot menu 0.3 - ubu1204.img.ext4 (from the menu to start the ICS, such as "archos.ext4")
Done.
(passwords: ubuntu - ubuntu root - root)
Working:
- Booting on 80G9 and 101G9
- Touchscreen (touchpad mode)
- Keyboard via OTG cable
- Mass storage on rear USB-prt

great a1Pha !
but i would like ubuntu and ICE.. (lol)
This can be made. I'll have to check the initramfs tomorrow
Upload done, post edited - have fun @ testing

thx , i testing that this morning
wow. I was going to get working on this when my tablet arrives but you beat me to the race.. maybe we can work on it together in the future
Could you post some screenshots of ubuntu on g9?
dual boot
how would you go about dual bopoting i want to get into the whole programming of it just need a pointer to the start of things

Sorry, I don't understand your question :S
how would i implement a dualboot
You can take the initramfs.cpio.gz posted by letama in another thread (look at the link to Ice Cream Sandwich - the file is inside the archive you download).
Then extract it and have look at the scripts, which are provided there.
Basically you have to get the system to ask you, from which filesystem image you want to boot
yep! you need to install SDE, restart your device, go in the developer menu and flash the initramfs.cpio.gz that letama posted in the ICS post, atleast that's how it was in the Gen8... by the looks of it the SDE menu is the same. Hope I helped
i wait the multi OS install
2.3
4.0
Ubuntu
Nice, I'll give this a go now.
Edit:
Works on the 101G9.
Keyboard Functions through OTG/Host Cable.
USB Mass Storage (Pen Drive) Functions on 3G Stick Port
Not tried anything else yet.
Are you using a lot of the same kernel objects which android is using?
Excellent Work.
alright thanks

Thank you very much, and also thanks for testing
I am using initramfs + kernel + modules provided by letama for his ICS-build.
By the way - I will upload a new build this night.
I have managed to get basic network functionality via adb + usbcable, so I have upgraded all packages and installed a touchscreen keyboard.
In the new build the LCD backlight brightness is now set to max on boot.
I also have added a user with sudo-permissions, so now settings are saved on reboot (not like in 0.1 where guest sessions were created).
Oh, and I will change the filesystem type from ext3 to ext4.
Still no real progress on WiFi or sound
P.S.: New build will support choosing between booting ICS and Ubuntu
//edit: sry guys, got some problems with my internet provider. i get reconnects every 30 seconds. i hope they get it fixed till tomorrow... sorry for delay, i'm going to upload the stuff tomorrow..

Might be worth giving it a go with a version 3 kernel, you may get some free driver support. although I could be talking nonsense

I activated the root login with my own password from adb and the touchscreen keyboard worked straight away on the 101. It must come with the the drivers preinstalled. I think letma's' done some work into the difference between the 80 and 101.

I've been playing with this all night. I think the drivers have been integrated in the main linux kernel so you should be able to build your own.
They could some prebuilt binaries out there as the OMAP4 board seems quite a popular board.
Also you might have some joy with this http://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/
It's all Good!

Hi Guys,
A1Pha, sorry, didn't have time to test your build, too much stuff going on...
Here is a quick feedback on wifi that may help you:
In android, here is how it works (from memory, don't have my laptop to check)
1) you need to create a nvs file corresponding to tablet, check android init.rc for the way it's done there...
2) Then when you do need wifi, insmod the tiwlan.ko
3) Then, load firmware (check wlan_loader in android init.rc, you should be able to reuse the command) and nvs. If all goes well up to here, you should be able to do ifconfig tiwlan0 and it should have a mac address.
4) Then start wpa_supplicant. You need the appropriate version of wpa_supplicant, 0.8 I think in android source code. You may want to build source code from android source with the appropriate options to remove android extensions.
Again, this is from memory, I'll try to give you more details tomorrow.
Regarding audio, this is mostly alsa so it shouldn't be impossible, you should be able to re-use the configuration found in archos rootfs in /usr/ sub directories. You have to insmod the proper modules though.
Best,
LeTama
Suggestion for the sound, try running the alsamixer and playing with that... worked in debian...

ahh. Thanks for that letama , You're a fountain of knowledge.
I'll give it a try during the holidays.
I was playing about with wpa_supplicant and android kernel drivers. I didn't have the right magic ) and my kernel knowledge is still in it's early stages (only been on the linux desktop for 1 year).
[UPDATE]2012-08-06 This is not the only way of getting Dongle's working on Android, If widgets are your thing and you doing feel confident working with system files etc then you may be better served using the ppp widget form draisberghof.de, these are the folks who piratically wrote the book on getting dongles working on linux and by extension android.
[UPDATE]2012-08-06 The source to libhuaweigeneric-ril ( github ) has been updated to include fixes made by omegaRed7 - This massively improves the fault tolerance upon RIL Startup, Tests were carried out on the E173s-1 but it should be beneficial to all modems ( I hope ).
[UPDATE]2012-07-28 As the Rom Version is quite old and it doesn't really require it's own rom I've extracted the files required to implement this functionality - Download Here, The Archive contains a README file with installation instructions
IMPORTANT - pppd permission need changing to 6755 also change to ownership to the root account ( Thanks to __DS__ ). you can do this through adb or terminal emulator
Code:
adb shell chown 0:0 /system/bin/pppd
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/pppd
for this to function
[UPDATE]2012-06-25 Added Forked libhuaweigeneric-ril to Github Repo this includes all the changes I've made - Check This Post For Details
[UPDATE]2012-06-23 Added Github Repo - Check This Post For Details
[UPDATE]2012-06-16 THE DOWNLOAD LINK HAS BEEN UPDATED AS THE FILES IN /etc/system/usb_modeswitch WHERE NAMED INCORRECTLY[/UPDATE]
Hi Folks - This post is going to change fairly often, there is still more info to add, I just got bored with typing for now
The Sales Pitch
This rom aims to provides the same "hands free" approach offered by the Archos 3G Key and extends this functionality to Huawei Branded USB Modems.
Introduction
Here is a custom rom I've currently been hacking away at, if feels like I've had it under wraps for months.
That being the case. I'd like to thking on to enable Huawei USB Modems - This is still a WORK IN PROGRESS but It feels like i've been keeping it under wraps for months, So it's time to throw it out there for further testing. So Dongles at the Ready! It could get a little hacky
WARNING
The Full Size USB Slot has been known to fail from moderate use. As such I would recommend using an USB extensions cable for connecting devices.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ
1. This is definitely not an every day use rom on any other device this woud have been deployed as a recovery flashable update. The reasoning behind the rom deployment is it's only one file to copy and youi're ready to go. It is also a tedious task to manually go through (especially on the 100th time
2. Please don't ask a me if a certain device will work or not. It is not helpful on a number of levels,
a) I simply don't know - I don't own the model in question. Further more you can figure it out yourself.
b) The Chances are that you could probably find out the answer without leaving the comfort of xda - The libhuaweigeneric-ril has been passed around xda like a <Insert Well Used Analogy Here> so a quick search of xda may turn up something useful to reassure you.
c) In reality though we are not going to know if your dongle is working until you "Try It Yourself".
3. if you find your device doesn't work then you need to gather all the relevant information to help get a feel of what's going on; See Below
SUPPORTED DEVICES
The theoretical list of supportted devices come from those devices supportted by usb_wwan and option kernelp drivers.
IMPORTANT NOTES - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
In a perfect world you can download/flash the attached update file. Reload your SDE, Plug a USB 3G Dongle and have It connect and go about you day .
This is the ultimate goal and currently what happens on my own device
TROUBLESHOOTING
There's about a 25% based on my current test this won't happen. There are 2 main ways your connection attempt can fail.
1. The UsbStick has not switched to modem mode
2. The ppp connection script failed
Either Way it would be highly useful post the list of system properties, outputs of dmesg and also a full logcat aswell as the vendor/product id from lsusb,
some like this throught the adb
Code:
adb shell getprops
adb shell lsusb
adb shell dmesg
adb logcat -b radio -b system -b main -b events
Please have a glance over it before posting as It may contain information that you would not want others to see!
ROM DETAILS
Android Version: 4.0.3
Archos Version: SDE 4.06
Removed : Nothing
ADDITIONS
init.dongle.rc - initialization script, I wanted to avoid "polluting" any other init file too much
/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko and /lib/modules/option.ko - USB Drivers for GSM modems
/system/lib/libhuaweigeneric-ril.so - A slightly tweaked version of DerArtem original huaweigeneric-ril
/system/etc/usb_modeswitch - the latest version of the usb-modeswitch-data
/etc/ppp - Added separate gprs scripts to retain compatibility with the Archos datakey
/system/bin/hotplugd - A new native android service; Manages Modeswitching and connection initialization for any Usb Device which has a valid configuration file present.
DOWNLOAD
3G Modem Redist Pack - For use with newer roms
Hotfile - archos.ext4.update.
INSTALL
Unpack zip and copy unpacked update file to the device
Code:
adb push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage

script should update automatically
KNOWN ISSUES
"3G Stick Connected" Icon remains in notification list after device disconnection.
pppd needs to be executed with elevated privileges.
pppd is not exiting correctly on some occasions and cause reconnection issues when using multiple sticks.
Thanks go to surdu_petru for the base sde, derAtem for his original work on the libhuaweigeneric-ril.so and pretty much every developer who has worked on these dongles with android, I think I've read every thread on XDA regarding this subject
Hi!
Thanks trevd!
I do not have this USB modem ....but you did a good job for those who have this modem ! Good luck...

Is this a new model ( released this year )? It may already be in there, The easiest thing to do is plug it in.
If you install this app you can find out what the product_id is and then we can find out for sure.
Thanks
no released in 2009
Device Class: Use class information in the Interface Descriptors (0x0)

Hi trevd.
Thanks for the work.
Before installing your rom, I'd like to know if my Huawei K3565 is or will be supported.
I can't remember when it was released, but it not a new one ; may be 2009 or 2010.

Hi Rackham666
I'd refer back to my first post, I've tried to make it a little more clear what this "rom" exactly is, more a testing ground, my apologises if that wasn't very clear at first glance, So to switch this query right back at you.
After installing my rom, I'd like to know if your Huawei K3565 is supported?.
For my usn dongle , is it ok for you ?
Okay.
I'll try your additions manually when [email protected] V3 will be released by Petru.
Get The Code
Hi Folks.
I've started a github repo if anyone wants to hack on this stuff.... It only contains the code for the hotplug service at the moment but I will obviously add more when I get chance and apply all the proper GPL licenses to it.
A personal word of note : C is not my first language by any stretch ( although it is fast becoming the case ) so If It causes any memory leaks or starts nuclear war I can't be held responsible, however if there is any noob coding errors in there then I'm ready to learn off those more knowledgeable than I. I have a feeling we have some hardcore developers lurking in Archos Development community
Equally If anyone has any fixes drop me a pm and I'll sort commit access on the repo or post them right here in the thread,
The code can be found here https://github.com/trevd
Hi Folks, Me Again!
Just to let you guys know I've added a forked libhuaweigeneric-ril to my github ( https://github.com/trevd )
It includes the changes I made to enable it to work the Archos.
You'll want to clone the ics branch if you want to compile yourself.

Hi, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but I've done the steps for installing this but when I get to sde menu nothing happens. You said script should install the update automatically but nothing happens. Is there something else I have to do?

Hi Alahkel
You're not bothering me .... DO I really sound/come across as that grumpy/angry in my first post.... sometimes I get cranky when I don't get enough sleep.... too much time looking at code.... :laugh:
Thanks for having a go, Are you using the official SDE? and have you got a working SDE Rom already installed?
For now I would forget about the rom image and bear with me, I'm working on an installer APK which will probably better help with testing, I'll also put the manual installation method up for those who want to get dirty with adb.
Hi, i succesfully installed your build then, btw running unoff sde. I have a huawei 170something, I don't remember the model, but it's working great with no problems, but using a otg cable only. I didn't get it to work using the big usb slot

That's great news Interesting that you couldn't/haven't got it working on the full size port... It should function the same as the official Archos Stick, You need to switch on the 3G Stick in the settings and the full size slot should "Just Work". I may have missed that little detail out
If that doesn't work your full size slot is maybe broken A not uncommon issue it seems. unfortunately.
Out of interest what network are you on?
I'm just working on the installer now so you won't be stuck with old archos versions.

Hi trevd,
i'm guessing this won't work on CM9 by JackpotClavin, or would it? If yes, would i install it the same way as described?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Sorry i'm obviously still running in 1st gear in the morning... There's no 3G support in the CM9 port so there's no way this would just "work"...
Edit2: And confirmation that i need more coffee: Saw your post in CM9 thread about the successful connection with Archos' 3G stick and a Huawei 3G stick, but only through the browser... Any progress on fixing things so the ppp connection is fully usable by other apps & services?
Hi, trevd!
how to launch the modem on a firmware 4.0.7?
I copy these files from your firmware
init.dongle.rc - initialization script, I wanted to avoid "polluting" any other init file too much
/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko and /lib/modules/option.ko - USB Drivers for GSM modems
/system/lib/libhuaweigeneric-ril.so - A slightly tweaked version of DerArtem original huaweigeneric-ril
/system/etc/usb_modeswitch - the latest version of the usb-modeswitch-data
/etc/ppp - Added separate gprs scripts to retain compatibility with the Archos datakey
/system/bin/hotplugd - A new native android service; Manages Modeswitching and connection initialization for any Usb Device which has a valid configuration file present.

I change the init.rc file for init.dongle.rc start
but the Huawei E1550 modem doesn't work
what it is necessary to change still?
Thanks!
=========================
sorry, everything earned, it was necessary to update a modem firmware
Hi deman05
You were nearly there, init.dongle.rc is imported on the very first line of init.rc so you need both files.
You shouldn't have to do anything with the modem firmware as usb_modeswitch will handle turning the modem.
The files required are.
init.rc
init.dongle.rc
/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko
/lib/modules/option.ko
/system/lib/libhuaweigeneric-ril.so
/system/bin/hotplugd
Also you need the full contents of the following directories
/system/etc/usb_modeswitch
/system/etc/ppp
/system/etc/chatscripts
I've attached the latest versions to this post (hopefully I've not missed anything), you will need to change the permissions on /system/bin/pppd.
chmod 6755 pppd
[EDIT] I did miss something, please see the first post for the correct download link.
The new version also handles a cold boot ( modem plugged in on startup ) scenario.
If you are still having issues please refer to the troubleshooting section in my original post
Thanks
OpenPDroid is an awesome mod developed and maintained by CollegeDev, FFU5y, Mateor, Pastime1971, Syvat and Wbedard that allows you to configure for each app separately exactly which permissions it should have and block or spoof everything else. Unfortunately, it can only be used if the core platform is integrated directly into the ROM. (For more details, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098156)
Since I have completed the integration anyway during my attempts to fix the HDMI rotation bug (without success so far, I'm afraid) and the current version of CM does not seem to contain any more critical bugs, I thought others might like to make use of my ROM as well.
I therefore hereby present: CM 10.1 with OpenPDroid integration. Besides the platform integration I made the following changes:
PDroid Manager app integration.
Standard CM Updates are disabled by default.
CM anonymous stats collection is disabled by default.
Google Analytics integration has been removed from the CM stats collection module.
Updates and anonymous stats collection can simply be enabled again using the menu. (Warning! Applying a normal CM update purges the OpenPDroid integration!)
I will try to at least provide updates to newer versions at critical update moments and will perhaps provide some more in between.
You'll need to have ClockworkMOD installed in order to flash this ROM.
Downloads:
11/07/13: Version based on CM 10.1.1 stable. Steps:
1. Flash the stable version of CM 10.1.1 (10/07/13) for our device.
2. Flash this OpenPDroid patch.
3. Install PDroid Manager either from the Play Store or using the APK attached to this post.

The main additional problem that this ROM currently fixes compared to standard CM is that of blatant privacy violation.
Since the wakelock issue seems to be related to mobile data use, and I don't have a data subscription, experimentation with this would quickly rack up my phone bill. If someone comes up with a solution I'd be happy to patch it out though.

I assume you're referring here to the swapping of disk names when using MTP. I actually only noticed this bug last night and it should be easy to fix. I plan to have it patched out in the next version.
Update 24/04/13 uploaded, involving official CM patches for MTP storage & power profile settings.

At the Cyanogenmod website there are instructions for compiling yourself. You can apply the OpenDroid patches using the link I included in the post. Make sure to synchronize the proprietary files with those provided by Cyanogenmod or some aspects will fail to work.
@Wenque - As the original CM on which you based this has the incorrectly labelled hardware platform which means it can only be flashed with the one particular version of CWM, could you possibly modify your version so the coding is for X3, not for P880 - then it could be flashed with any recovery.

Thanks for pointing this out, as I wasn't aware that my ROMs still suffered from this problem. I'll look into it.

No problem. I got the 'Status 7' message when I tried to flash it, due to the P880.
This problem goes away with the latest (v6.0.3.1) version of CWM, so it's not massively important I guess. It would be better if CM modified their builds to reflect the correct hardware identifier.
May be worth you expanding your OP slightly to contain a link to the correct CWM - just to make it easier for people to find.

Good idea. I'll probably just expand the model check in the update script for future uploads so it accepts both references.
Update 28/04/13 uploaded, for some improved custom recovery compatibility. As every update, it also contains all official CM patches.
All patches between this version and the last one are minor, so for people who have installed the previous version of the ROM there is no need to update to this one.
Is anyone else having problems with GPS on this ROM? I am going to try going back to all the old methods I used on my HTC DesireS, but thought I'd ask here as well.
For those who wonder what the old methods were, have a look at derekgordon.com

No-body?
I have tried ths both with Derek Gordon's gps.conf modification, and with my own one using just the UK NTP servers and no fancy settings.
If I reboot the phone and run GPS Status & Toolbox it takes between 3 and 5 minutes to get the first lock. This happens whether I do it immediately on reboot or leave the phone alone for an hour first. Once it has established a first good lock, GPS seems to be very good - relocks quickly and stays in the background happily.
The problem is the first lock - it's almost as if the hardware is actually starting off disabled and takes time to warm up or something.
Can someone else using this ROM please test to confirm? I will try this with the standard CM 10.1 build and also with the Stock ROM again, but can't do so for a couple of days.
Update 01/05/13 uploaded. I swapped the default CM kernel with the WerewolfJB kernel (thanks laufersteppenwolf!) and I fixed the headphone button actions (key 248 HEADSETHOOK).

Sorry SimonTS, but I don't know whether this version fixes your GPS problems. Perhaps I'll have time to look into it later.

No need to apologise mate. I have tried the WerewolfJB kernel, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm going to look at running the WerewolfJB ROM for a while as GPS seems to work perfectly in that, but hopefully you will get time to build a new version as I really want a ROM with pDroid in it.

All you really need to do is copy the good /system/etc/gps.conf file to the PDroid ROM and make sure that you do not block too many permissions. You are probably using Google's SUPL server to help you obtain an initial location estimation and you don't want to block that if you rely on fast GPS locks.
You can do this by first copying the gps.conf file to a safe location (root of sdcard for instance in /mnt/shell/emulated/) and then performing the following steps:
- Use the terminal emulator with the following commands:
= su
= mount -o remount,rw /system
- Now copy the good gps.config file over the current one (for instance using root-permission File Manager or 'su', 'cp /mnt/shell/emulated/gps.conf /system/etc/' )
- Either reboot now or use the terminal emulator with the following commands:
= su
= mount -o remount,ro /system

It's not that simple mate, but thanks for the reply. I know all about the gps.conf file as we used to have real problems with GPS on my old Desire S. The problem I see with this build and the standard CM is almost as if it doesn't know how to talk to the GPS hardware properly.
With the WerewolfJB build and my own gps.conf file I can get a lock in under 10 seconds sometimes, and always under 20.

Do they all work in this build? I have no idea, but am pretty sure that from feedback that xt926/5, xt907 and xt897 have been reported to work.
The bottom line is that I rely on anyone reading here (or who is directed here from their development pages) to let me know what works, what doesn't so please let me know.

Note: My part in this is very minuscule. I just got (git) his source and stuck it into cm11 as a build base. I changed very little, only added the msm8960 build since I think phil is working on the source rather than many individual builds due to time. If you look at his github from the main page link, the only file I really changed was ./boardconfig/BoardConfig.mk under ./recovery.
Goal: Just to make this available and keep people out of the main thread that aren't developing. If I can help with the specific device I'd do it, but I'm really not an xt926/5 expert. Still, if you've got msm8960 questions (so: device-specific, not general philz touch) ask them here about the device and recovery since odds are better you'll get an answer here than in the main thread. I'll try to update this with latest builds each week.
Disclaimer: The usual stuff you read in all of these threads. If your mind turns into margarine after installation, please send a sample to the CDC labs in Virginia. I searched all over XDA for a thread for philz for the msm8960 but didn't find it. If you do, feel free to destroy this thread, call me names, threaten my relatives (please do this), etc.
Credits: I think all credit should go to Phil, @Orphee and the CM11 guys if you like this type of recovery.
Thanks for doing this bro. Otherwise AHD'd be on 6.0.7x..
EDIT: Great job, I can confirm, 6.22.1 flashes and screen touches work perfect, format, wipe clean new rom, install new rom, restore backup on the Atrix HD/mb886.
Who wouldn't like the best recovery of all? Right? Thanks a lot
Works with keys only on the 907. Thanks.

I don't recall the xt907 being unified into the msm8960, at least not in the philz code, but I could be wrong. Could you try a recent (6.19.x) build from over here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/xt907 and let me know if that works? I think the msm8960 so-called unified builds are still a bit confused. It looks to me like only xt926 and 5 are covered.
If the build I linked to works, then it's to do with the 'unified' setup and I might need to grab some vender ID's etc.
By saying "works with keys only": I assume you're saying that the touchscreen stuff is off-kilter or just off period?
Thanks and I'll look it over for that device.
Everyone else: Glad it's working out for you. I'll update as soon as there's another git update.
No touch function at all. The mb886, 'hd & photon Q (screen input works too, albeit mirrored) recoveries have always worked on the M.
Any can be used on the others for key only use.
The Q twrp works 100% on the m but mirrored input. Arrrghhh said he may port his version to the m.
Since we can have unified recoveries now, would it be possible to make TWRP and have it work for all the unified devices?

Took a look at the cm11 base I'm using as a building platform for philz code and it appears xt907 isn't yet part of the unified group though it ought to be according to CM. I'll leave a note and see if that's in the works. I'll check if xt907 has it's own build over there. By the way, from your reply I wasn't sure if you'd tried the pre-unified version I linked to on goo.im? Also philz stuff is using his own touch library GUI these days, and there might be something about that and the 907. Got some stuff to figure out.
Looks like (Atrix HD, Electrify M, Photon Q, Razr HD, and Razr M) are supposed to be part of it but from the way the code looks, (boardconfig) , not sure I believe it's yet been worked out. Razr M has some 9xx x {?} resolution, right?
Edit: CM11 looks fine as far as unified for xt907, so it must be something in the philz code that's not yet ready for the full array of unified devices.

I've used TWRP and like it a lot, but haven't looked at the build requirements yet. It seems possible to do unified builds for anything especially if you can do something like build the cm11 default code with it's default recovery, then substitute TWRP recovery for the default CWM in the ./bootable/recovery code. TWRP would have to be setup for that which is something I don't know. CM11 is where the unified structure is coming from in the case of these recoveries.

Are you savvy enough to allow/provide a partition backup of /persist?
At least Philz no longer lets noobs format it. Why not back it up? As it gets clobbered often.
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
Could it have been the previous presence/oversight of the fomat command the the cwmr base gave be used on the phones that is the sole cause of all the /persist hubub & it being only on the phone is not an issue?

savvy: I don't know the answer to that yet
I just took a look at a) the main thread, noticed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48940651&highlight=persist#post48940651) and b) the code. What I come up with is that while in recovery, I can go to 'mounts' and mounting "persist" is an option which works for me. It's not on the backup list, mounted or not, but shows up in aroma FM when it's mounted. That link I put there claims there is allowed 5 "extra" partitions for backup/restore, so I might be able to set up /persist as one of them. I'm still new to this recovery code for android so don't expect too much. Looks like if I can get it to work on mine, then it ought to on yours.
As a workaround (if ADB is working to your box in recovery) , you could yank (pull) that /persist stuff yourself, but I think a new version is coming along pretty soon and I'll try to see if I can get it to work. (Time permitting etc etc)
edit: I realized that /persist is in the recovery.fstab file when I build which is why it's a mount choice in that menu. The other stuff (make it a backup choice) appears to be hard-coded in one of the .c files so it could be added, but there's a fair amount of stuff to do to add it. Yeah, it could be modified, but I'd want to ask Phil about it before messing with it. I suspect he had some reason since I noticed you and he talked about this in the main thread. Did he ever get back to you?

There's a new build, same version but some fixes that I'll put up eventually here. CM11 probably has the newest API and I'm restructuring my environment, so need to sync and clobber repo, include philz as a localrepo. Might take .. all day for the syncing and building to complete. Doing this in a VM today
Fixed: Aroma now works with screen input when booted from the msm version while key only from philz.
Translation: aroma works fully while using this on a 907.

Currently, recovery doesn't allow backup/restore of all what's in fstab
It would be dangerous in my opinion as you sometimes have the bootloader there
try to edit this line:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /preload ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1
setting the mountpoint to preload will add it to my mod as it supports that partition
However, restoring could fail if you do not add the selinux needed permissions
Also, you can follow my guide here to add extra partitions using this flag: EXTRA_PARTITIONS_PATH
Actually, without adding the flag or recompiling, you can just edit recovery.fstab to:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /extra_part1 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1
by default, it is enabled when you name it extra_part1 to extra_part5
That way, you can easily add support to 5 extra partitions to nandroid menu with just a repack, no recompile needed

also, take a look here, at the highlighted line:

You have also a ro property to forbid mount:
Code:
ro.cwm.forbid_mount
Both these properties affect the format/mount options in "Mounts and Storage" menu
As far as screen input for the 907 goes, are you not almost there if aroma works?

Hi, if anyone would like to run a 5.0.1 Google OS on a Archos G9 80S device (and currently basically verified only with this), download and extract the file
18_03_2015-20_58_50.7z
Installation (tested only with linux) :
- reboot into SDE menu and under "Format System" perform a "Reset Android & Storage" to clear all data of previous installations (this is really important for the first installation. Updating a existing installation (same major version) doesn't require this step !).
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Menu -> "Export Data Partition"
- mount this usb drive
Code:
sudo mkdir <Mount_Path>/local
sudo cp archos.ext4.update <Mount_Path>/local/archos.ext4
sudo sync
sudo umount <Mount_Path>
- wait until the unmount process is done
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- Wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android prepares the system for a while .....be patient at least ~20 minutes for the first run!

I shall give this one a whirl, It'll be good to get my archos off of the stock ICS.
I'm assuming you've dropped the recovery nonsense for that moment then?
is selinux off?
Is adb on a first boot? as I would recommend that folks leave it hooked up the computer after flashing that
way you can run adb logcat so you know what is going on. It sure beats watching a boot animation for ~20 minutes.
IIRC the 2012 nexus 7 took about 10 Minutes to boot so it's not far off.
I see you forked hotplugd! Let me apologize for the code quality, I was young and foolish and didn't know what I was doing ..
I think I might revisit it at some point or at least delete it lol
Anyway If I've got a bit of time / motivation I might have to have a cheeky hack on this , now that you've done all the hard work! .
I hope you don't mind but I've also given the file some re-hosting love just uploading it to devhost and androidfilehost too. I figured the space might aswell get used for something useful.. I'lll post the links when it's complete.:good:

Hahahah! BI ZAR! I check the forum for my Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo once every X months, and checked it today and see LOLLIPOP / CM12?! GREAT!
And whats the status? I use the tablet a lot still, so what is NOT working?
Edit: Flashed it to a Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo, and all is working, and fast as hell. GREAT!
I came from Freezenook's ROM BUILD7 (VERY happy user) but now tried this:
A MA ZING!
How fast and cool this Lollipop is on our (old) Archos (101) Gen9 (Turbo) tablet!!!
For now only compliments and almost everything seems to work, and this is a major and recommended step! Great OS this Lollipop!
Tested
Speed: Good (17.106 AnTuTu 5.3)
Sound/Video: Yes
Touch: Very good
Camera: Yes
Battery: Good
Size: Lot of free space (3 - 4 GB free!)
Memcard: NOT TESTED YET
USB: Yes (with Archos Panel app (USB & deep sleep))(USB storage works)
MicroUSB: Only charging (no devices?)
HDMI: NOT TESTED YET
Headphone: Yes (low volume though)
Apps: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that. And the other apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
Thanks a lot !!
Supergeil!!!
Still amazing to see that you're still at it @Quallenauge
I will definitely flash it as soon as I have time.
The only concern I have is the USB Port. Does it stil work in 5.0 ? For me it didnt in 4.4, so I flashed back as I needed my Archos to read my Media USB-HDD. I have a 101S btw.
Well as soon as I have flashed it, I am going to test it and try a few things, hope I'll get it working :fingers-crossed:

This is not a "nonsense". But it doesn't reflect my current needs. It would be cool to have a standard recovery image to format the data partition with f2fs (The kernel should support it right now!).
trevd said:

Yes. Currently I doesn't know how to enable selinux rules, because "rootfs" isn't the mounted loop device but the "real" root. So the file nods are forced to "ubject_r:unlabeled:s0" which doesn't fits.

Yes, ADB is turned on by default. I don't like it, when my device doesn't be verbose

Yes, the old binary is bound to an older libsigchain.so. So I had to recompile it. The code quality is far better than my output So thanks for your work!
I have an issue with the ril implementation. Mobile signal is turned on, but the datakey pppd stuff is not called. Do you have an idea whats going wrong - where can I look.
Should I use your implementation from android_hardware_ril_libarchos_ril ?

External USB drive isn't supported right now. I will have a look, when I have some free time ( and after fixing the RIL mobile data connection stuff ).

Wow, excellent! Thank you!
Could you please, write what you know that definitely doesn't and does work, as you did for older CMs?
Does ART work? Could CM 10.2 be updated to 12, or should we erase everything like with clean CM installation? HDMI?
@nilse: Yes USB (inc drives/storage) works (via Archos Panel app)!
@Bor-ka: Always do a full format/erase/factory settings etc, for SURE with a major leap like CM11 > CM12 or MORE!!
See my older post for a test of all hardware etc!
And again: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. These apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that!
thank you again for your great work.
Works on 80g9H 512 mb ram.
will test more functions and edit this post later.
@hackwerk, thanks!
For some reason unknown to me, there is no "export partition" in my SDE, so reformatting and copying to the /local/ is a little bit painful to me - should do it with adb shell.
But anyway, Archos Video Player is a show stopper for me. Since it is the only player that can natively play 720p/1080p movies on this tablet via DLNA/Samba. Tried MX player with latest codecs - no luck.
All
Did anybody compare deep sleep in CM with the stock ROM?
IIRC deep sleeped tablet with a stock ROM (4.*, 3.*) could lose only about 10 battery _a_week_ if not used. May be my memory deceives me, of course. But with CM 10.2 and no background tasks it drops by ~ 10% a night. (Didn't try Wakelock and Greenify though)

SDE: This ia an easy alternative way of installing the ROM (which I used)!
Video: Have you tried Skifta (good for network!) or other majors, like GoodPlayer, MediaPlayer Classic or the brand new official VLC Player (and thus MX Player))?
Maybe in combination with the "All Codecs for Archos Video" app?? Must be possible!
And maybe / I hope we can 'port' the MediaCenter.apk to Lollipop!
Battery: Is already good, but everyone talks about an app called Lux! And Greenify.
But yes Deep Sleep can be enabled in this ROM in the Archos Panel app too.
And maybe these famous mods can help too ( @Quallenauge: Checked them already I think?)?

Unfortunately I do not have "Enter the SDE menu on your device and select export data partition," in SDE.
See here, with screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57243821&postcount=2
For video thanks, I'll try. Completely forgot about VLC. Tried MX already, it plays Ok from the internal memory/SD but gloriously fails over the network.
What Lux does is automagically lowers screen brightness, Yes, it is very useful app, but it will lower battery drain in the active mode, not in sleep when the screen is off. And it has a bad habit on my current cm10 installation - sometimes it restarts when I'm reading a pdf book at night (low memory?) and I get some two seconds of full brightness in my eyes. Ouch.. I think I'd revert back to manual "dimmer" or "blue light filter" and manual brightness adjustment.
What is strange, users at our local forum report that 5.0 is slower than the stock (?!) ROM on 80S 1.5 Turbo (4460) / 1GB RAM. I wonder what it will be like on my 1.2 (4430) / 512 RAM..
Thanks Quallange and all of you who helped him I saw your progress with 5.0 on github and I wanted to compile it myself but yeah I didn't had space for that sadly, I wanted to ask you flr it but then I see now that you got a cm12 thread when I am tomorrow home from school I will flash this :good:
Edit:
This song describes my 5.0 feeling:
http://youtu.be/p8sZcmQr6KY
It works till now pretty good. I am having the 512mb turbo version but after disabling things that I don't use it runs all smooth :good: o
I installed this Rom on my 101 g9 with 512 MB RAM.
It s like a new device. A lot less lagging and better ui response.
Only thing i found is that the keybord hides every now and then when i want to type some text.
Thanks a lot for this masterpiece of work *like*

I agree, much more snappy than CM11. I've also had the keyboard hiding issue (stock and Swype). Thanks for keeping the G9 alive Quallenauge :good::good:
G9 80H
i installed the rom but it places data on internal storage. hard drive is placed at /storage/sdcard1 and is read-only
how can i place data on the hard drive?
Note: besides the internal storage issue, the rom runs nicely.
Hi Quallenauge.
Realy magic this ROM, many thanks.
If with JB sometime I have only 80 MB RAM free and with KK 145, now I have over 200 !!!
But I have a problem, app ( iGO ) can't write on external card.
Tried with 3 different SDFix and manually in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
With Root Explorer I can copy, but can't modify permision.
There is a solution to this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
