Sylvania 7" tablet - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Just curious if anyone has been able to hack this yet, or even attempted, would like to see it done, they can be rooted with universal androot, which is easy enough to do, i have downloaded rom manager, and even quick boot to boot to recovery, but yes i know it's not possible, but can't blame a guy for trying.

There's a good thread on them here
Also discussions going on over at a couple of other forums

If anyone else knows any other discussions on the tablet let me know. I own one and am hoping we get some custom rom action going for these.

incase you haven't fully read that thraed, i already have found that one, but thanks anyways

Is a cm7 port even possible for this device? I don't see how my old droid Eris can outperform this 1ghz device. It's a shame but I still like it.

[q] [kernel] 3.2 oc?

Hi Guys
First up, I know this is the wrong place to be asking but as 3.2 has been out for a lil bit now and I know the people regarding this topic would be watching. I can't find anyone else within xda or outside attempting a Kernel for Asus TF 3.2, I'm simply asking why? (in a non-offensive, pushy way)
TBH I have no skills in the development of kernels, all I really want to know is if I can stop checking every day to see if someone has released a custom Kernel for 3.2 with OC ability or if one is in the pipeline. I just cannot find this info anywhere else and am simply interested.
Cheers guys, look forward to hearing from you.

there are
please look at the relevant threads and I expect you will get an infraction for this thread; you should have asked in Q&A
I think the reason your not finding anything yet is because the kernel source for 3.2 hasn't been released yet.
First of all if you know this is the wrong place to be asking this, then why are you asking it here? There is an OC kernel compatible with TF 3.2 made by Clemsyn. It is only working with Clemsyn's Rom and stock rooted 3.2 right now or at least that's what the post claims.
you could have asked it in the right place, and still get the same responses you got now...except all the lecturing. there's really no reason you should have knowingling asked this in the wrong forum.

Let's be 100% honest, it works, but not everything works well.
Until source for the newest ROM Kernel drops it won't be five nines reliable.

[Q] Clean Windows 7 Phone install on an Android-ONLY device?

Can it, or has it, been done already? Is anybody working on this?

You joined this site to ask that one question? There was seriously nothing better on your mind than to come in here and ask this single question. Did you bother to do a Google search or even a forum search to see if maybe, just maybe this question has been answered several times before?
No, you didn't. You came in here hoping someone would do all the work for you. You aren't starting off your time here very well. Next time, do everyone a favor and either read the forum rules first, or don't bother posting anything.

Can someone who isn't a bitter 30-year old virgin answer me this, since I can't find a proper answer anywhere else. This is the Q&A section, right?
Depends on the device. Porting OS's is difficult to say the least.
If you look at the HTC HD2 forums, you will see that the devs there have managed it.
All in all, don't get your hopes up for an easy way to get WP7 on your Android, in most cases, it is actually impossible.

Have you looked in the forum for your phone? I mean the steps are pretty much the same no matter the OS, you just get the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and do whatever the directions tell you in the tutorials. Typically those are stickied in the developer's section of your phone's forum.
Here's the guide to rooting your phone and such as well as how to install cyanogenmod on it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
I suspect since you don't have any idea how to root it already, you also don't know what else you want to do with it. You should really do some reading on it.

thank you very much but this part wasn't really needed "I suspect since you don't have any idea how to root it already, you also don't know what else you want to do with it.", so next time I would suggest you to be more careful and less aggressive

It wasnt meant to be aggressive. It was an observation from you posting the question in the general forums and not noticing the stickied topics for the forum specific to your phone (since if you had, you wouldnt need to ask, right?). My guess was you were new to xda since you just registered as well as to rooting and such and you should read more about it before jumping in. Take that as you will, but there's no need to be defensive when I think my observations were valid and I was being helpful to your current situation.
Try to avoid reading every post with the assumption it's negative if I can give you anymore advice about joining xda (though some obviously are). I could put smilies all over my replies, but that gets kind of tiring and annoying to me and others, lol.
No need to get defensive if you think I'm insulting your geek cred by inferring you're a noob. Everyone is a noob sometime and xda welcomes noobs.

Crossing devices?

I'm interested to find out if it is possible to run a rom from another device on my Conquer 4G. I've looked at the specs on it, and they are nearly identical to that of the Galaxy S. Anyone know if that would be possible, or would I be better off just dropping my phone in the pool and bricking it that way?

"Nearly" isn't always good enough. It may work, but some features may cause it to freeze, or crash. Unless the components are virtually identical and even then, there may be issues relating to the product id's that are supported on one device but not the other. Someone here with specific knowledge of the devices in question may find this post and give more useful info.

The ROM could be ported over to your device fairly easily.

Any guides or information on how I might go about doing this? I'm totally a noob at doing roms, and I would really like to learn. There really aren't many roms for my phone (Conquer 4G), so I'd love to be able to adapt some of the roms from other devices for use with my phone.

Choosing which ROM to port is part of the same problem I'm having with my Zenithink tablet. As for info on porting, there's no shortage of that on xda, but I haven't had much luck with the search engine here. Best to Google the site.
ie; Google search, "porting rom site:forum.xda-developers.com"
without the double quotations marks.
I'd dig through my links to help out, but I haven't enough brownie points yet to post links on here.

I found one link here on the site, but I got confused on it rather quickly. I'm going to have to read it and make sure to ask questions where applicable because there are alot of really nice roms out there for other phones (The Galaxy S for instance) that I would love to try with my phone.

need dev help BIG time

We with the samsung admire 4g need some good person/peoples help with gaining root access for our phone,ive tried all the easy/one click methods to no avail ive been to most forums and nothing anywhere,i mostly stay on the phandroid site its always helped me with my past androids but no luck with my new one,and i know xda has some of the best around so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
I looked around and this pretty much sums it up: "To root this phone, which I also have, you need to look up the guide for s-off as well as rooting using Linux. There is no other way as of now because the phone isn`t popular amongst the modding community. No one has made a script or even a guide for that matter, but I found out the hard way and the distribution model is s-on. Good luck. I`ve already done this, but with no clockwork recovery or mods available, it is utterly pointless unless you`re a developer. Seeing as how you asked this question, I`m assuming you`re not. Sorry. Maybe the devs will spread the love one day, but by then you`ll most likely have a newer, better phone. I know I will. Try using adw launcher and power toggles. I managed to create a righteous theme using those and a white marble stock photo to blend with the phones shell. Good stuff."
I hope this gives closure to your question.
