When Android 2.2 isn't really 2.2, and is there any way to fix it? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I recently bought a MID Vogue Android 7" tablet machine to experiment with. One of the reasons I bought this particular model was that it was advertised as having Android 2.2 installed, and when I go to About Device it does indeed show that v2.2 is installed (kernel v2.6.25). However, it doesn't operate like a v2.2 machine -- I can't install apps on the SD card, and Android Market won't allow me to download most v2.2-aware apps.
Have I made a newbie mistake and not tweaked my settings properly to use v2.2 features, or do I need to root my machine and do something more in-depth to correct this problem (assuming it can be corrected!)? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks very much,
B

Need help installing either Gingerblur or Greyblur

Hey all heres the deal I've had my Atrix now since the end of Feb and since then have only recently successfully rooted and enabled non market apps on my Atrix (recently meaning this week lol). I'm new to developing and modifying phones but I'm not new to computers . I admittedly have mostly hardware experience and slight software background. With that said I need your help !!!! I'm interested in sideloading either Gingerblur or Greyblur to my phone . I am currently running XP Pro on my computer and so far as I know I have done all I can do on my own with no help. I have the drivers installed, Moto Link installed, phone set to debuging, SD card unmounted, and Greyblur downloaded & extracted onto phone's internal mem......... Now heres where ya'll expertize is needed . BTW I have the SDK installed ontomy computer as well but I'm not familiar with ADB or its commands . Any help, advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

[Q] Install Android on a device

Can anybody tell me whether it's possible to install android on a tablet pc? E.g. I've got gm10 android tablet pc with android 2.2 on it. It works not so good. E.g.: I can't even log in skype. I can't even install apps from android market. I can't view flash, i can't, i can't. Hardware seems to be well supported. So, my questions: Is there any chance to get it working fine? Is it possible to install android 2.3 or android 3.* on it? Will it support the hardware? Where can i get needed drivers? Can I get them from the currently installed android 2.2? Can I make it forget my e-mail address? Where is android.git.kernel.org? I can't get access to it. (i have another tablet pc as well and i want to install new android on it as well, so it is a common question)
Kernel.org is hacked.
I can restore factory settings by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power.
New flash 10.3 seems to support android 2.2.

[Q] help with rundroid and android version

I have a HTC HD2 windows phone.
I wanted to be able to use android apps on it i looked about and saw rundroid but not sure on what else i need to get it to work this will enable me to boot to both windows or android.
I downloaded it and followed to instructions but did not fully work, i think because i need to have a version of the android software on my SD card
I downloaded 2.3.3 gingerbread but still did not work, might not have it in the correct place or file extension ?
can someone tell me what version of android i should use and where i can D.L it from, and where it needs to be on my phone for the rundroid software to work fully.
thanks

Quad core android based projector, Ruishida T16P

I got this "smart" projector , a T16P , recently and it's a pretty great device running KitKat I think. I'm not too in love with the ROM however and would love to root it and put some better firmware on if it's available. Kodi runs beautifully on it.
What would I need to do to achieve this? I've no idea how to get it into download mode, or how to backup the existing ROM, extract some hardware drivers ?
It would be such a fun device to run alternative OS images on, or maybe even an ARM linux. It's such capable hardware, it pains me to not have more control over it's software.
I do not recommend to do this.
I had the same feeling so I tried to update to lollipop... and since then I can't boot the projector anymore
