[Q] Install Android on a device - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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.

When Android 2.2 isn't really 2.2, and is there any way to fix it?

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

[Q] Any chance to reanimate connect-to-Ad-Hoc-wifi-feature for ICS?

To use the internet connection from my pc I installed an ad-hoc-wifi-network on the pc.
But since ICS, Android is not even able to see ad-hoc-wifis. It worked with Android 3.x.
Is there any chance to reenable or develop this feature for Android 4.0?
That would be nice for adb-over-network and to save 3g-traffic.

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

Does debug usb work? Or something like Fastboot/ADB?
I connected the box to the computer with USB cable (both ends the same) but nothing happened. I wish it was as simple as PC, formating and re install Android OS lol.
not sure about Fastboot or ADB.
Unknown source option is ticked, but like I said nothing happens when I insert a USB. cant even download from net or open any browser.
New update received, problem fixed, Thanks guys.

Need help please
I have an Androide box named ISatPlus, I was subscribed to iptv in 2015 but not anymore.
The box has received an update from ATN and now am not able to install KODI or any other application. The system keep deleting all new application I install.
I cant even install new firmware it fails after few sconds. Anyone can help or suggest a solution?
The CPU is a dual core ARM Cortex-A7, and the platform is BIGFISH???
thank you
hello how can you roast atn boxes?
Thank you
this is an old thread, however, if anyone still interested in reprogramming "most" of the ATN boxes, there is a way to customize it and make it a basic android box which you can use normally with any app, however most ATN receivers are very old and not compatible with newer versions of android, only android 4.x.x depending on the box you have

[UPDATE] Hiliti PD-C Laser measuring device

Hello Guys,
I have a Hilti Laser PD-C device that runs:
android: 4.1.2
build: sparky_silver_2.3.15
I want to note that all apps should be arm not x86 but Im not sure of the DPI.
This runs a special modified Hilti rom. I would love to be able to get a custom rom and add more apps. I am willing to toss some donations for this. Has anyone done anything with this device before?
**** Update: ****​
I was able to get root access via PC version "KING_ROOT"
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroot/kingroot_pc/KingRoot_pc_en.exe
1. I downloaded the most current sdk for ADB
2. I also downloaded the Hilti update app.
www.hilti.com/updatepdc
3. I was able to use King_Root even while the app didnt see the device and it recognized the device after I clicked connect.
4. The main ROM is very difficult to get around. You cant just click an app you side-loaded. Download a launcher that matches the android version. I used smart launcher, no reason, just the first I found. Use ADB to sideload on to the device.
(adb install "app name") https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/smart...1-build-054-android-apk-download/#description
5. From here I got full control to the apps I sideloaded. I am still having issues with connecting to BT on my note9 for the internet.
It is what it is... But thanks for the help. I hope anyone else looking finds this.
