[Q] archos 70b ereader rom questions

Good day all, I have a problem, not ever having an android device or having anything to do with android before. I have purchased a Archos 70b ereader for a Xmas present for my partner. Now I have done a little research and have found that this device comes with android 2.1 eclair I believe. I was hoping for some advice on weather this device can be rooted and a new rom installed? I have seen that there is a app called z4 root and an app called rom manager that look fairly simple to use. If I was to get z4 root and rom manager and use z4 root to root the device first could I then install any rom via rom manager that I wanted on this device or would I be restricted alot due to the type of android Device this was. Also I have looked into roms briefly and I like the look of cyanogen 7 and MIUI could the archos 70b run these. If someone could give a list of roms that could be installed and used well on this device that would be amazing.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
James.

really need some information and help, any one know anythig on this one please?

custom roms
Good question! i would also like to know if this e-reader is suitable to run custom Roms. maybe run android 2.2

Am am looking for the same answers.
perhaps we should ask the CM7.1 Team?
I thing here are only guys with expensive tablets.
Archos70b will not be supported.
I know only this Rom: But I do not know if I should use my Rom manager Pro from my Nexus.

Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone has looked more closer into this, but for all who did not:
Your choice of ROM is very limited because of the distinct hardware and few developers.
The bq Voltaire has got mostly the same hardware, so their firmware seems to work.
I've flashed a pre-rooted bq Voltaire Android 2.2 Froyo Rom on my 70b ereader and it works like a charm with no restrictions and even the regular market works!
The link to the rom I used:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3vndcu7wzd8wu1z
It's 2.2.1 with Kernel 2.6.25 [email protected] #28
Build-numer froyo1.00 MASTER.eng.root.20110908.110852-jefi
I got it on a german forum (on page 2 and 13, page 1 is the eclair rom)
http://www.androidpit.de/de/android...irmware-Root-fuer-Archos-70b-oder-bq-Voltaire
For flashing, you can either use the guideline on the german forum or if you don't understand, there was an english version posted on xda some time ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14422370&postcount=4
(I don't take any responsibility if you brick or otherwise damage your device! I can just say that for me it worked perfectly :3 )

There is also some info here, but is on Spanish

[Q] Roms compatible with Sharp FX plus? (ASD1)

Hello XDA,
I have bought a new android device for myself today, the Sharp FX Plus (Model: ADS1) and I've been browsing on the site to find some compatible roms; But no luck. I've used the forums before to successfully root and put a rom on my ASUS tablet with no issues, but this one is a mystery. Is there a thread with what roms are compatible with my phone or has nobody ever really looked into this phone? I've tried to google it with no luck, either. The phone is already rooted, I got that far, I just can't find any roms that are 'confirmed' compatible with it.
Thanks to whoever replies!
P.S. I'm slightly new to the whole custom rom thing - but I do somewhat understand the basics.

metoo!
I too have a sharp fx plus ads1. I have my phone rooted but am having no luck finding a custom rom. I understand it is kind of an entry level android and maybe out of date but it has all the capabilites I need. I also know enough to root my phone and install a rom but not good enough to actually create my own custom rom. Is there anyone that has the time and enjoys doing so that would help out with a custom rom for these phones? I found a page that mentioned updated to 3.2 with a new rom but there was no link for the rom so I'm thinkning it was a fake. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I posted in Misc Android Development section here, trying to put the information in a centralized area for any potential development on this device.
Recompiled the CM7 Kernel as a test using the device's config.gz, working on getting the CM7 source to go (its being tricky lol). I have a test CyanogenMod 6.1.2 ported from a Z71 that runs, as well as a modded stock 2.2.2 ROM. A "dirty-port" test of a Z71 CM7 rom boots with some mods (no radio, networking, etc..) - so there may be some hope for this lil thing!
Hope that helps

I think you forgot to flash the compatibility fix zip, I am not really sure what tablet you have but if it is any of the ones listed on this thread below, just start over, make sure to flash cm, gapps and then the compatibility zip and everything will be fine.

Just an advise, next time help us to help you, your thread title should reflect a general idea of your issue; also try to search the forums or google it, if I was able to find it, I sure you would be able too.

I can count so many problems ... I am trying to flash CyanogenMod 10 4.1.1 because it's totaly perfect. it has not kind of problems which i have mentioned before in this post.
Only problem is camera and touch screen don't work. but i can use it by plugging usb mause and it works fine. i hope you understand my problem ... Thanks!

[Q] Need a custom rom suggestion

Im kind of new here, so hi Im looking for a good custom rom to flash on my GTab 2 P3110.
Im planning to use it on my car (already got a mount for it), so I need the rom to have a working gps and have compatibility with Here Maps.
Also, it would be good if it was the latest version (Lollipop), but it can be KitKat for the sake of stability and compatibility!
I had a Nexus 7 with AutoDroid installed, but my small cousin managed to crack the screen
So yeah, that's about it. Hope you guys can help me!

Look in the Development thread for 7" tab 2. Either I've tried SlimLP and CM12.1 on my tablet as far as Lollipop goes. If you want a KitKat ROM, SlimKat is a good choice. Be sure to click thanks on @Android-Andi in the ROM thread if you choose one of those. (Always click thanks on the ROM developers OP in the ROM thread)

I've tried both Lollipop ROMs. SlimLP causes Here to crash rly often (an user also reported that on the thread). So far, CM 12.1 is being stable as I needed. Thanked Andi already, he's an incredible guy! Also, thx for the suggestion, my friend

No problem! I am also running CM12.1 at the moment. Make sure you edit the thread title and add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of it before "[Q]".

Custom Rom Deveopment for the Lenovo P2

Hello everyone, I got this device about two months ago and am going to start trying to port over some roms from the redmi note 4.
I'v noticed that ROM development has been very slow recently, and even though I'm still a student its the holidays and I want this device to have a better future.
Here is the discord server for the P2 development and general chat.
https://discord.gg/K28XqCU
These devices have similar specs, which is one of the main reasons why I am trying to port roms from the redmi note 4 and not some other device.
I'm going to study more about custom roms, and if I may not be successful in porting one all the p2 community should give it a go as well. Everyone seems to be asking for roms and not many people bother to build/compile them.
I'll post any I find working on here as I go, and if anyone has advice/suggestions I'd be happy to take them, being new to custom roms and all.
If you guys could inform me about other devices with same cpu, screen resolution and camera specs that'd be great.
Currently the base rom I'm working on is AOSP extended v5 and the port rom is lineage os 15. I'v managed to port the boot.img over so far.
If anyone is interested on carrying on or continuing, all files will be uploaded on mega. You'll need android kitchen and other basics to continue development.
Make sure you have a device with unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a nanodroid backup in case anything goes wrong.
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, ect but I will try to help.

Please do tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, as I am in no means a expert at this, just another p2 user wanting to give our devices a new life.
Thanks,

Wish you a best of luck, just make it happen✌

Haha thanks. Any advice/ things I should watch out for?

With you mate
I too was thinking of porting from Redmi note 4.
Could you kindly share the methods of porting. I am a noob in custom ROM porting.
Also suggestions on which roms to be ported.

I'm currently attempting to port Lineage OS 15 from Redmi note 4, with base rom as AOSP Extended.
I'v ported the boot image over but can't find the "system" folder. If anyone would help with this it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
B50Corei5

Hopefully we can kick this thing off and get some other people involved, that way rom development for the p2 will speed up lots.
I myself am a "noob" at custom rom-ming, trying to follow youtube tutorials for porting roms. If anyone else with a bit more experience jumps on,
we should be able to get this finished quicker.

Let's do our best

Requesting help from experienced developers in finishing the ROM.
BTW are you using highwaystar's lineage os as base.

I'm probably messing up trying to port lineage os 15 while using AOSP extended v5.0 as base,
however you have to port roms that are the same os as your base.
You can't port a 8.0 rom with a 7.1.2 base.

Let's give a shot.
Don't expect for expert developer, because he/she can be already busy

Haha, thanks. I created a discord channel for it, link is all the way at start of thread.
Anyone willing to contribute can do so, I'll post updates on here as we go, don't expect
anything too soon though.

It is easy to get system dump and modify it cuz most of the files can be replaced easily by using the base rom.
Do you have any idea of creating update script and creating the final dat package? In my opinion this is the tough section i think.

Hmm. I just started developing roms so I'll look into it. It does look quite complicated. If you haven't already, go ahead and join the p2
development discord as it'll be easier to comunicate.
