Genious
Nice...(Froyo) I will be following.
I wish Archos could pull in itunes "Genious" program. Thats the only thing itunes has thats worth anything to me.

Is there any news on this?
I purchased two Archos 5 IT units yesterday,,
It would be nice to run 2.2 on it instead of 1.6
Really looking forward

heres the latest
http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen7
http://www.openaos.org/
only doable easily if you are running ubuntu - which I am not.
There is a tutorial onyoutube for installing but I have difficulty following the guys instructions.
Would be awesome if some one could cook out the latest froyo release for the gen8s into something that works on the 5it. I would happily loose the (sometimes sh1te) mkv supporting archos media player for rockplayer or other of the new breed of android media player that runs all file types.
If anyone can-knows how to complie an aos that is installable without ubuntu Im prepared to give it a go.
Cheers

Well I followed the instructions and I have froyo on my 5it.
It's a bit limited but runs fine. Just need to know how to get market working.
Is there a way to compile a new rom by using the current img I have and adding on options? Such as remove phone function add in google apps.
A detailed hide to rom building would be great.

I also installed Froyo some days ago, but I restored the firmware because the Archos Media Center in my 1.6 Android ceased to work.
Is yours still working correctly?

Reverting back to Android 1.6
Once I hack Archos IT 5 to Froyo, can I go back to the original Archos 1.6 setup with all the original apps?

You can remove the whole developer firmware back to stock 1.6 by holding down vol - and powering up the archos and reset firmware from there.
I had triple boot set up with mine. 1.6 froyo and angstrum all selectable on first boot.

froyo on archos 5 it
Hi everybody!!!!
I have installed froyo on my archos 5it.
I still have access to archos os(android 1.6(v2.0.38)).It's working fine.But when go to froyo, i use some of the apps, the browser didn't work i installed dolphin browser. I tried to use an app that required root access, it didn't work.i went on the android market(that works great!!) and installed root check.It just confirmed that i don't root access.So i'll be very happy if somebody could give me some help on how to have that root access.
Thank you.
PS: I would be happy to do some testing for any developer !Just ask!!

bump bump bump

Is this project completely dead in the water? I'm still holding onto my Archos 5IT (500gb) in hope that someday it will get Froyo but it's getting mighty heavy next to my Evo and Viewsonic G-tab.

Archos 5 Internet Tablet
I'm holding on to mine too. Love the space on it for music and movies but wish it was updated with something. Only a handful of apps showing on the market to download.

hi
some one can make foryo for archos 5 it that can very interesting

Pocket Legends...get it..

Not sure if it works at all on the Gtab but you guys need to get this working. Lots of fun so far.

Works great, I have been playing it on my G Tablet. It is so awesome to play this game on a 10" screen too. Almost feels like cheating.

I couldn't get it to install (failed to install). Tried 2 different apk's.

I've played it on my iPhone, but don't see it in my tablet's marketplace. Not sure where to look for the right apk.

Pocket Legends won't install, maybe related to Angry Birds issue?

How did you install it? I've tried on the zpad clean ROM, as well as on CyanogenROM beta 2 and 3, and although it shows up in the market and downloads, it will not install.
Possibly this is akin to the Angry Birds issue? I know it has some issues with the way the sdcard is made available on the gtablet.

I can confirm that Pocket Legends is working after the Tap UI 1.01 update

This was my go to "show off" app for my Gpad. The most current version of Pocket Legends doesnt install on my CM B2 Gpad. However, the older one installs fine and you have no problems logging in. Luckily I had a backup from my Titanium autobackups. Hmm would it be against TOS to post the APK?
If you like Pocket Legends, check this out. http://droidgamers.com/index.php/ga...ers-on-the-way-great-ready-for-more-craziness The game looks even more polished.

Works well on cyanogen beta 4. Seems to be affected by the same periodic lag that plagues all 3d games on the tab.

Market Error
does anyone else experience an error when using purchased apps? on both the zpad rom and on tnt 2.02 I cannot install or run some paid apps due to market authentication errors.

[APP] TV Shows Stream LITE

Hi,
We have been working on this app, is my fourth android app.
The aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search resoult are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
EDIT: This application is not available anymore.

Samsung galaxy vibrant user here:
Using Nerov3+voodoo
on wifi
While the interface of the app was very easy to navigate. Non of the the videos I tried to play from the few websites I selected would play. I picked monk and the x-files. I also tried multiples of the sources.
It basically opens a webpage and ask you to verify that you are human. Nothing happens for "me" beyond that.

Vibrant user..nerov3..no voodoo Dexter works fine !!

Will this ever support HDMI out for the EVO?

Try megavideo servers first
The best integration is when megavideo is used as stream server, it goes directly to full screen.
I have been watching X Files and Dexter without any problem on my HTC Desire.

Sounds Great I'm in
I purchased the full version. So far so good

I have not had any problems loading videos on the Droid Incredible. However, there seems to be a delay on the sound by about a second or two.
I downloaded the lite version and experienced it both on Prison Break and Lost.

Excellent so far when I use megavideo streams. Awesome that its got its always sunny - thats not even on netflix streaming!.

watching dexter on my nexus one running MircoMod777 Gingerbread V.19
havent tried any others yet but im sure most if not all work, theres alot of sources to choose from so dont start crying if the first one doesnt load up right away, its the lite version, deal with it

Can you add Fringe?
I m a fan.

Beauty! I bought the full version right away. Great app.

same here, great app but would like to suggest maybe an integration with tv show favs app, maybe. I see the bookmarks app which is good, also how often will these be update, are we looking at 30 mins after show aired?

same with me full version on EVO cm7rc0. I will try fresh ROM later.

Hi,
This app has not been tested with custom ROMs. If you experience problems try uninstalling the rom flash player and install flash player from the market before changing your ROM.

so far so good.....most likely will upgrade soon...........great work..........

AWESOME
Bought it right away. And I never buy apps haha

that worked,
thanks for the great app

works flawlessly with cynagen only problem is that still no 4g only in alpha stage when done, it will be amazing, try to see if it will work on my nook.

Running Rod's latest MIUIMOD rom on my N1(running on base 12.31). I didn't even screw with the lite app, I went to the jugular and bought the app.
Watch a few mins of a show and works great! Thanks for the app!

Works fine on my Droid X. It's running Rubix 1.9.5.

Peggle available from Amazon, but Amazon claims it's not compatible with SGT

Today the 21th in the Amazon Appstore the free-for-a-day game is Peggle! However, even just trying to see the info, or maybe read the reviews, or look at the screenshots rudely pops up the message Not Compatible... And downloading it from the appstore is of course out of the question.

First, change the title to say Peggle, not Pegger...
Secondly, I just got done playing a few levels on my Tab... With a little know how posts like this wouldn't be relevant... (Like the Plants vs. Zombies post... "OMG!! IT'S OUT BUT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR TAB!!" ... Or netflix... same deal)
The trick would obviously be to make the market think you are on a different device... Changing your build.prop is quite simple (assuming root is in place), and this is what you need to change in order for the market to not think your device is what it really is... Mine was "My Wall" for a while to download Peggle.
Than, just to be safe, fire up Chainfire 3D and load up the Tegra 2/Nvidia driver, runs smooth as butter...
It's not wise to change your build.prop to much because a lot of programs revolve around it (such as swype's configuration/save files)
ALWAYS back up ANYTHING you change in your root folder... copy the build.prop over to your sd card in a backup folder before changing it.
p.s. I'm not responsible nor liable for anything you do to your device because of what you read here... I'm just a conduit of information. I also will likely not help you with any "OMG MY TAB IS BRICKED" posts because of this... If you are brave enough to change anything in your root folder, than you should do your RESEARCH!

I've changed the title, what was I thinking? Anyway, I admit was hoping somebody knowledgeable would know a way to circumvent that message, and tell us.
I have found system/build.prop, but what property did you change in that file to change the model? I noticed a number of GT-P1000's Do all of them need to be changed? You changed it to "My Wall"? Does it need to be that, or is it anything but SGT?
Thanks!

I downloaded it onto my sgs2, and then just sent it via bluetooth to my tab. Works perfectly.(I do have amazon appstore installed on both my devices.)

You are on the right path, I changed the first 3 references (maybe 4) toward the beginning of the file. Please be sure you back the file up unchanged on your sd card. When you've downloaded the game I recommend going back to that original file.
You can change it to whatever you want.

Using the Amazon app store, I added the game on my Vibrant.
Then went to the tablet's Amazon app store and clicked on the install button.
It didnt complain about anything and installed fine.

Yup, there are various ways to trick it into working... I don't have a second device that supports it, so I just did it "the hard way" I suppose.
The initial check is right as you click download... so bypassing it on one device than downloading on another is logical... Kind of like the PSN store and multiple PS3's.

Paraphrasing my comments over at Amazon to add this forum's conversation...
I've got a Galaxy Tab (SCH-I800) and I was being told I can't use this with my Tab. What the hell?? How do you write a game that can't run on a Galaxy Tab?
Anyway, I "purchased" it on the web site using my laptop computer and the Amazon website, went back to the Tab and installed it from my available-to-download apps and it installed fine and it ran just fine.
I've played Peggle on my Xbox 360 and on my Nintendo DSi before as well, but this Android version feels a little sloppy (the opening dialog asking for username is blank, the music doesn't loop properly--it plays out and fades, then restarts--as if it's repeatedly playing an audio track that fades at the end). Otherwise, gameplay works great, zoom-in works great, etc. I don't understand why it's been blocked from installing on a bunch of systems that clearly are able to run it just fine. (another fellow with an Asus eee Transformer in another review had the exact same problem and suggested that way around the block that I described earlier.) Am I overlooking some detail as to why we're being denied this from these devices?

btyork, I'll keep that build.prop in mind, I have a feeling that may come in handy. It wasn't needed this time though, because the other-phone-trick worked beautifully. It worked just like ipnekgs described. I just installed the appstore on the wife's SGS, logged in with my account, and downloaded Peggle on it without a hitch. After that I switched back to my Tab, and Lo!, it was ready for installation on the SGT. Lovely!
I AM intrigued by stoney73's remark... Can you install an app on one phone and then send it by bluetooth to another one? Or just download the app instead of installing it? How does that work, does an installation from the appstore leave a file behind somewhere? I'd love to know where!
Thanks guys!

BTW, I'm not claiming it doesn't run on our beloved Tab, Amazon refuses to install it, claiming it's Not Compatible. In cases like this I always like to try it out myself, to see if the claim is true, as often it isn't. Chuzzle for instance definitely has graphical problems, but perseverance paid off with Peggle, as it runs beautifully, no problems at all so far (though I've played just a couple of levels). I wonder what possesed Amazon to refuse us even to download it. I've haven't seen that one before, and I've downloaded quite a few apps.

'Buying' it from the website and then installing it from 'my apps' on the tab worked here.

It may not be fully compatible with a stock galaxy tab.. I have had zero problem with it running on my tab using overcome hermes and chainfire 3D using the nvidia driver...

Same for me, played quite a few levels with no issues. I have the Alpha HC ROM installed on my SGT

Maybe it's an error. My Tab is rooted, but apart from that it's stock: not flashed, no Chainfire3D, just stock JMK, but Peggle seems to work flawlessly.

It works perfectly fine on the Tab. I have played a couple hours of it with no problem.
I did have to "buy" it from my Nexus One, but then I was able to install it on my Tab right from the Amazon app. The download took forever.

The same has happened with a few android market apps, which then require the workaround, and end up working perfectly.

ended up finding a download link somewhere, can't remember where now.

"Breaking News" HuluPlus.apk Has Been Successfully Modded By Vgeezy

Hello All, I am Vgeezy....
As the title states, I have modded the huluplus.apk to work on any android device. It does not, I repeat does not require root!! YAY!!! No it does not give you free access to hulu plus, you still have to get a paid subscription to view the paid content. But if you don't have paid subscription, you can still view the free gallery. Enough talking I hope you enjoy this. Here's my video proof that it does work:
IF YOU HAVE AN AD BLOCKER ON YOUR DEVICE, THE HULU APP WILL JUST BUFFER OR FC. DISABLE YOUR AD BLOCKER WHILE USING THIS APP. IT'S BLOCKING THE ADS HULU BROADCAST, SO IT WILL NOT PLAY.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE.

Mod HuluPlus.apk Video
ModHuluplus.apk
Landscape Mod Huluplus.apk

Confirming working on Motorola Xoom and Photon.

Confirmed working on Galaxy Nexus (LTE), Asus Transformer TF101.
NOT Working on Logitech Revue - I think this has to do with GTV being stuck in Landscape mode 100% of the time. The splash page of Hulu+ forces whichever device into Portait orientation but since GTV doesn't have it, it gives me an error about it, and press any key to exit.
I wonder if there are any tricks around this. Any possibility that the app can be forced to attempt to display the splash and video selection pages in landscape when a device lacks portrait orientation?
Either way, great work.

Ask and Ye shall receive. I posted the landscape mod in my first post.

So... landscape devices should use the landscape one?
EDIT: Using landscape version, works great on Xoom LTE.

Confirmed working on the MY Touch 4G (Official MIUI TDJ Release), Installed in seconds with no errors.
I don't use Sense or CM7 so I'm not sure about those ROMs but if it worked on MIUI it should work on the rest. Good work man, looks great.

Working on og Droid. Can't thank you enough for this.

No go on the Sony NSZ-GT1 for either apk. Haven't tried it on my MT4G or my girlfriend's Desire HD yet.

Works flawlessly on Archos 101 G9.
Thank you very much.

Thanks! It again installed just fine and this time the HULU Plus screen begins to load but it Force Stops with no warning. May try re-installing again after a reboot.

Seems to be working in landscape on my Transformer Prime with dock. I am having some connectivity issues, but who knows what that's about...
Edit: The connection issue seemed to be caused by AdAway. I disabled ad blocking, rebooted, and all is well. Can anyone confirm that ad blocking makes this not work, and are there any work arounds? I'm happy with it working at all, truth be know!

works great on HTC HD2 official miui...thank you!

I'd love to get this to work, but sometimes it won't stop buffering on the Acer A100 tablet and eventually gives you an error to check your internet connection. Some shows seem to start up fine though.

Dang, that's what I was downloading them for! At least now I can view Hulu on the Galaxy Nexus and connect to my TV through MTP to HDMI.

Works flawlessly on Galaxy Nexus LTE verizon. Thanks

Hulu's app has always had issues with adblockers, even when I was using an officially supported device. Just remember to disable it before you watch.
This apk works great on my galaxy nexus. Thanks dev!

Hats off @blunttedsmurf, very nice job about to test in nook tablet, thanks
