Dev help request - we need you! - O2 Joggler 99% working Android

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some guidance from experienced Android devs - I have an O2 Joggler device which the original OS (am i'm being kind) is appauling.
Work has been underway to get Android x86 working on this device and currently we have a working image of 1.6 on the joggler - the only problem is the graphics are very slow, this is because there is the worlds most hated GPU in the Joggler (GMA500).
However - recently the official Android x86 guys have been working with a GMA500 device (Intel's S5 Viliv) which closely shares it's inners with the O2 Joggler and they have posted up a Froyo image with GMA500 support.
I've tried myself (not really knowing what I'm doing) and a few other guys have also, and the image doesn't boot off the bat on the joggler (just sits at the jogglers EFI screen not displaying anything but the O2 logo)
So, I'm looking for help from you guys as to what / if there is anything we can tweak to get this running like 1.6 (but hopefully with smooth graphics thanks to the new GMA500 support)
I don't have much experience in Android dev'ing but I have a strong IT background and some linux experience - I'm willing to do whatever you guys can suggest to see if we can get this working.
So, first question I guess is, what do you need to know to get the ball rolling?
Here is some info on the joggler's hardware; http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Hardware
The 1.6 Android Image (that works fine apart from slow graphics) ; http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=An..._Prebuild_Image
How that image was made; http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Build_Android_Image
Android x86 Image for Viliv S5 (Has the GMA500 support we want!); http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/s5_froyo_101008.img
Viliv S5 Specs; http://www.umpcportal.com/products/Viliv/S5/
Any help you guys can offer would be madly appreciated by the joggler community, as Android is the perfect OS for the little device!
Thanks

I should probably add, I have tried to replace the system.img from the working 1.6 release with the one from the Viliv 2.2 release, but the 2.2 file is system.sfs not .img so I guess the kernel won't find it..
Presume the kernel would also need to be changed too anyway??

[Q] Hobbit Kingdoms of middle earth

Hello, I have recently posted a cheap tablet (coby kyros mid7046 ) that did not have google play installed, through information found in this forum I was able to remedy this problem and I hope someone can help me here. I want to play the hobbit game on my tablet but it says my device is incompatible, is this the bottom line, I mean it has ice cream sandwich installed and a 1 Ghz processor (cortex A5) the game only requires an 800Mhz. Even if you can't or don't know how to make this work your advice is welcome, maybe I can work it out. All responses welcome thx.

[Q] GoClever R103 Netbook - anybody know how to root it?

I use a number of different Android devices and have rooted all of them (so far). Taking a chance, I purchased a GoClever R103 Netbook (which runs Android 4.0) from Morgan Computers in the UK at the princely sum of £89.95
The hardware is not stunningly fast (single core 1GHz Cortex A8 with 512MB RAM + 8GB flash built in) but is surprisingly usable. If I could only root it, it would be a stunning little Netbook (I suspect). Nirvana could be if I could run ARM based Ubuntu on it (although rooted Android would still be good) but:
There is no option within 'Settings' to turn on debugging or developer mode
GoClever have not provided any updated ROM images (yet)
Does anybody have any hints as to how I could find any chinks in its armor and root the damned thing?

You can go here! I have managed to root the device and stay tuned because I will launch soon a Debian port from it with debootstrap with working sound and all drivers needed.

[Q] Implementing Multi window in Rockchip 3188 device ??

Hi
I have found relatively not bad 7 inch RK3188 chip device here .alibaba.com/product-gs/759250290/Newton_7_Rockchips_3188_Quad_core.html
More than 7 inch size and low resolution at CHUWI V88 at chuwi.gmc.globalmarket.com/show-product/v88.html is not what I want
even though CHUWI manufacture will be the first to support multi window Android.
Cyanogenmod seems to gave up and I can not wait Google's future Rom any more.
armdevices.net/2013/07/19/rockchip-launches-multi-window-android-user-interface/
My request or inquiry is how it is possible to launches multi-window Android user interface like the CHUWU V88 when I buy the Newton_7_Rockchips_3188 device mentioned above? Anyway Porting UI or ??
