Hey there
I'm posting here for many of the Archos Gen8 Users.
Since January '11 there is an Archos Forum here at xda
Unfortunately, we haven't got many Developers and only one Rom - Urukdroid.
But we want more! We want Honeycomb on our Gen8 Tablets
Our best Developer - $aur0n - Isn't an android deceloper, he is an linux developer.
We need more good Android developers!
And because nobody came, i've decided to give money
and i think many would follow me
See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13873981
Who wants the Reward for bringing us Honeycomb?
Here are the specs of the Archos Gen8 Devices (only the 3 biggest 43/70/101):
Cpu - 1 Ghz Arm Cortex A8
Ram - 256 MB
Memory - 8/16 GB
Display - (4.3"/7.0"/10.1" by 480*854/800*480/1024*600)
Wi-Fi - b/g/n
Os - Android 2.2
Camera - VGA (except A43 it has 720p HD)
Ports - Headphone; Mic; microUSB; Mini-HDMI, Full-Size USB host
Card Reader - Microsd up to 32gb
Please we all want more great Developers working on our Gen8 Tablets
Thanks in advance
is there allready a rom for you tablet. it will not work really fix. many bugs you know. i only could make a working port for it.
Great!
what kind of bugs?
Can you describe a bit more.
We've urukdroid see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895599
The developement thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908744
Maybe you could work with sauron (main developer) together
If you want to know more about urukdroid read this wiki article by me:
www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urukdroid for german.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urukdroid for english.
Thank you!

Edit:
I think there are a few things you should know:
We dont need custom recovery because we've built-in sde
Our touchscreens were hostet over an inside-usb-host (this is hardest point for porting i think)

That looks good! Great work!
Okey, the bugs are big, but i think this will be fixed when AOSP Cde is released or 4.0 is released, won't it?
But it would be a start point!

the problem is that i don't have a tablet to test the things. so i could tell your developer what he have to do to get the port booting.

Yes i understood
you could tell it here to me and i inform the urukdroid developers (i belong a little bit to them)
Take my Port
Dump your current working boot.img
Unpack it
Uncompress boot.img-ramdisk.gz
ADD the dnsproxy line in init.rc for netd daemon service
Code:
service netd /system/bin/netd
socket netd stream 0660 root system
socket dnsproxyd stream 0660 root inet <----
Recompress edited ramdisk
Create your new boot.img
Put it in my port
replace your update-binary with mine
Thank you!
But i don't understand everything (i'm just learning in android developement)
I'll tell it to the urukdroid developers
But could you please, explain me the steps 2 5 9 ?
I want to learn more if you think it's to hard to do that in english, you can write in german
Besser für mich und für dich

you have to take a boot.img of your rom and unpack it with linux. then you have to add that line in the init script in ramdisk (it's all in the boot.img). later you have to repack it and put it in my honeycomb rom. in the meta-inf you will find the update-binary which you have to replace with one of your rom.
"einfach eine boot.img von dem tablet nehmen und die ganze unter linux decompilen das besagte script in dem init script adden und wieder recompilen. das ganze dann in meinen port geben. danach musst du noch die update-binary aus einer beliebigen archos gen8 rom nehmen und das mit der von meinem port ersetzt.
Decompile means to "create" the code out of the file, isn't it?
Okey i get it
How do i decompile/compile a file under linux ?(i just have a ubuntu live cd)

Hey Fr3eak,
I told them
But we have still one problem: Compile the Touchscreen Drivers for Honeycomb.
Have you an idea?

i don't know what the touchscreen drivers are.
I booted Honeycomb on our Archos a lot of times (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952741).
The problem isn't make the port itself, that would be easy, the problem is making the touchscreen work. Archos firmware isn't stock Android, it have a lot of patches. For example, the touchscreen is internally connected by USB so there isn't support for it in the stock Android. It's an UNITEC USB Touch Win7.
I think that we have to make a manifest to say Archos that we NEED Honeycomb in a few months.

Hey luisivan,

Thank you for joyning us
Came across an interesting article online, china's mobile giant Alibaba just created a new mobile OS called Aliyun. Its linux based, probably using the newest kernel. It will be able to natively run android apps and any apps built in Java or HTML 5. They have paired up with nvidia and it features the tegra 2 1 GHZ chip. It also comes with 100GB free cloud storage for all your songs, contants, videos etc! Pretty cool how linux is gaining market on both the desktop and mobile operating systems and bringing the opensource philosophy to the world. We all know most supercomputers and servers run linux. This is another great step.

Hello everyone,
I came asking for help;
I have an tv stick, mygica atv 185, that unfortunetly has no software support; it came with android 4.4.2, mygica personalised; it is very unstable, and there are no updates whatever; and i can't install latest programs, for example kodi 17;
specs are relative good for this device, quad core processor, 1 gb ram, graphic processor, etc
Can anyone please help me install another android version on this device? tutorial, oder step by step instalation, something for newby like me? oder link for video, tutorial..whatever..
It is an android device, so theoretically works with all androids versions; and here is my problem..i have search in internet, but i didn't find a step by step tutorial for a device like this; only for cellphones, but this is different.
i am thankful for any answer, any help..
Thank you verry much!!
Easy to find
just google Mygica ATV 185 Manual Book
and the first one is the correct manual in pdf for this device
have fun
Hi Developers
I am buy a new phone it's name is Kult Beyond.
----------specifications----------
Phone - Kult Beyond
Ram - 3GB
Rom - 32GB
Screen - 5.2" IPS HD display
Network - 4G/3G/2G
Battery - 3000mAh
Android - Stock Nougat 7.0
Processor - MT6737 64bit Quad-core 1.25 GHz
GPU - Arm Mali-T720 MP1 650 MHz GPU
With Fingerprint scanner
-------------------------------------
I am not a Developer so i dont know about how to create TWRP and custom rom.
please make any MIUI 8 ported Rom and TWRP recovery for my device.
sorry for my English.
I need same for my kult beyound please somebody step up
Requesting the members to develope roms and recovery for my device
Greetings to one and all present here.Kindly develop some recoveries and roms for my device, ie kult beyond
This is sad.Looks like we made a huge mistake by taking this phone and look how lazy xda members are, they can't even a create a custom recovery for a phoneand they call themselves developers
Don't know about xda but we definitely had done wrong by purchasing it. Total bull****. I even got to know that this device won't get any more update for oreo. We will get stuck on 7.0 only
I also have the same phone.Have been using it for the past 10 months.It is a nice phone but It has some software-based bugs which I feel Developers here can fix -
1) Phone going to silent mode randomly
2) I have to switch on and off Airplane mode to make
Outgoing calls work
3) RAM Management is quite poor.Always above 2GB used,so it requires Optimization
4) Battery,even if it says 3000MaH,It acts like a 1000MaH.Lasts about 4 hours of screen-on time.Again,Down to Optimization I think.
I have contacted kULt about this but no fixes seem to be coming...They seem to completely ignore old Products and focussed on Marketing and new budget offerings.

Hi,
first time I get in touch with Android, so please bear with me
I got a touch panel of a smart home fro free because the colleague doesn't use it anymore.
"INSPINIA SX" - Android
Ab sofort NICHT mehr lieferbar!!! Ein Vergleich der Modelle "INSPINIA" und "INSPINIA SX" ist in der…
ptp-innovations.com
It runs Android 4.2.2 and so far I found out:
2GB DDR3 Ram / 8GB NAND flash, ARM A7 Dual Core 1.2GHz, Mali 400MP2
It's running fine in general but it says there is no update available. Since Android 4.2.2 is quite old I was wondering if there is a custom ROM available.
Because it is so special I can not really find anything so my hope was that maybe here someone knows it.
Or maybe there is a custom ROM which runs on that CPU because I assume CPU and GPU driver are the most important stuff. AFAIK there is no mobile modem in, so nothing to worry about it.
Thanks ahead
Anja

There does not seem to be any. What you can do is hire a developer to make one custom rom for it. Good luck!
