Garmin-Asus Nüvifone A50, update to froyo or gingerbread?

[email protected] I bought the android device nüvifone a50. It comes with eclair. I heared, that the joined-venture between garmin and asus is at the end. So, there`ll be no official rom-updates to gingerbread or so in the future. I think, this device is a very good one. And it would be great, if some of the great rom-cookers from this forum would create a custom rom based on an gingerbread-rom in german and english language.
I`ll not a rom cooker, but i have already rooted my device and i would learn more about rom-cooking, adb, busy-box pp.
Would anybody help me?
Best regards

Has nobody an idea??

I would also love to see a Gingerbread ROM for the A50.
Is it possibel to use any of the other ROM's or does the phone need to have a Rom made specfically for it?

I'd also love to see Gingerbread or Froyo on this phone, is anyone going to make one?

hey guys sorry for interrupting!!! I just was passing looking for something else, garmin asus wont support any rom after 2.1 because the chip does not support this OS.
basically its 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6
but you need ARMv7
btw, I would be happy to have it on mine too.

Hi I 'M a new man here . i bought asus garmin a50 last week .i think it's costs-effective android phone . the hardware almost same as the htc legend,excpet the ram .256vs 387(right).so why htc legend could update to froyo ,a50 can't ???

The A50 (Garminfone) has the 600mhz ARMv6 msm7227. Same as HTC Aria and Legend. Froyo can definitely run on it with official manufacturer roms and custom roms (although it may not be *officially* supported by Google Android 2.2).
We just need someone to figure out the bootloader and cook a rom. I think there is little motivation to do this though, since it will almost certainly kill the Garmin GPS software, which is why most people bought this phone in the first place.
There is some talk on the Cyanogen rom forums about developing a techniques to load a custom rom and still keep the Garmin software, like Cyanogen does with Google Apps. I won't be holding my breath though...

Thanks sharky for this information - just hope I guess
Chas

i know it's not going to happen officially, but i hold out hope that someone smarter than me is working away at making froyo work for us

What I know is the upgraded os can run apps designed for lower os. This is fact in developing applications. for example app runs on 2.1 will run 2.3.
the dilemma is that asus garmin uses special lib for garmin application these libs need to be ported to the new os. and this is not easy to be done.
thanks

looks no hope yet?

Anyone came across this?
rahmani123.co.cc/?p=305
It's titled "Tutorial Upgrade/Update Asus A50 to Android 3.1".
Is it a joke?

I think its a joke, I bricked my previous phone with crap information and thats enough. never trust morons again.

say it like this
i asked them for 18 months for froyo and they were thinking about it.
send emails to eric chen at asus. we might get a shot at froyo.
every time i buy a non asus or garmin product i send a email to the appropriate company explaining why i am not buying their product.
this tickles them.
still both companies are still at it.
ask any eepad transformer prime owner why they bought a tablet without wifi or gps.
ask anyone who paid for a 12 month map package with garmin and then found 6 months later that they have to pay again for the same package to upgrade it.
yes only garmin would exclude upgrades from a 12 mth package.
fink x fink breeds superfink ...garmin x asus breeds garminasus.
bomb eric chen at asustek with emails until we get service.

I have a Garmin Assus A50 and i don't mind to delete all the existing app or function in the phone include the garmin navigation app. is that possible can upgrade to froyo or higher?

don't think it will ever happen
I don't think or believe will see anything higher then 2.1 on the garmin-asus phone, wish we would.

Allwinner A10 7 inch question - Internal Storage

I recently bought a 7" tablet from a great chinese site with bulk...here is the device:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCvef9IYX0o
(actually it's the closest thing to it but I have the actual link here)
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/600394/210366870-551855034/7-Android-4-0-5-point-Capacitive-Tablet-PC-1GHz-512MB-4GB-800x480-WIFI-G-Sensor.html
- only difference is mine is 2 gig and comes with ICS 4.03
Getting to the point...It comes pre-rooted and with some nice features for a 7 inch...but I messed around and installed busybox to "xbin" rather than "bin" as instructed...as those of you have have done this know: factory reset.
Now everything comes back up fine but one annoying little problem occurs...it won't let me install anything due to internal memory storage being full!
This is driving me up the wall as no site seems to cover this properly! Any know how techs wanna help this noob figure this out???
Also, is there a GOOD allwinner a10 link you guys have for people like me who love to tinker with not so well known android tablets from China? LOL! Love this place btw...been loyal for years to your forums, even if my name doesn't show it!

Bump!

i also searched a bit... i got the devices running this os.. it was hp pre 2 and 3 ... and their cpu were lik snapdragon 1.4 ghz .... i guess it would be a bit difficult to get it work.. :fingers-crossed:
i am also not able to find a download link.. :silly:

well yeah the pre and the touchpad...
i mean jb and ics were not supposed to run on our devices and...well they do...
i guess you have to compile from the source:
scroll down to source
helpful? hope so...

ok guys i found out that a friend of mine is a developer of this project
webos in the current stadium cannot be installed anywhere!
it requires a linux 3.3 kernel not even the old palm devices are able to run webos

just want to add:
my laptop is running the latest ubuntu 12.04 and its kernel is...
3.2.0-29-generic <-- this is lower than the required kernel for a mobile OS ?!
this is a fail -.-
anybody knows which kernel runs on s3 or nexus?

Palm pixi has 600 armv6 processor
It might be possible

processor - 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 Dual Mali 400 2D/3D core
The model of tablet is Micromax funbook Infinity p275. I have gained the root access for the tablet but cannot find any custom ROM for it .Is there any ROM for a device that will work o this device too?
I ran the application "android system info" on the device and found the following information

build info-
CPU ABI-armeabi-v7a
The tablet does not have any volume rocker keys.It only have home and power keys in it and a reset button hole.
Thanks

This is why I would have found out if there was support here on XDA first before purchasing. I don't understand why People buy cheap or uncommon devices then come here asking for things like ROMs or rooting.

because not everybody have money like you to afford the tablet they wish for, and I think that's the forum for, to ask help, nobody hit your had, and nobody will, if you won't help, so stop with those noob answers.

You can always buy a used tablet that *used to* be popular and thus has development from when it was or might still have some going on.
I would not buy such a tablet unless I planned on playing it to try to make a ROM myself - if it was even possible.
You can get a decent Android tablet with decent amounts of development for like, $100 new so I don't think it's asking that much when it comes to buying a "gadget" that's not necessary.

Custom rom development on All new dimensity chips

Hello community.....happy to see all are still helping needy......
Today it's my turn I request all my lovely developer's to clear my confusion....
I just wanted to buy a new phone with dimensity chipset. But as I know it's made by Mediatek, n with my little knowledge It's big a problem for developer's with Mediatek chipset to develop custom roms as they never or rarely release their source code.
So my question is now (I think) trend is changing is there any possibilities to have some custom roms based on newly launched Dimensity 7,8,10,11 & 12 series chipset based phone's.
If someone shred a your precious light on this issue will solve my problem in buying a new phone.
Thank you in advance n believe me will hit button as much I have allowed

I also was questioning the same thing. Let's hope we will get an answer

Still no answer to this? Are those chips so unpopular?

Don't know bro ...still not able to decide which one to go either with dimensity 1200 or sd695....may be my thread is not that much popular

I am using the Realme 9 Pro plus for some time now. It is a great device but I would go with an SD chipset in the future.

if you dont need custom rom , emulation , then mali gpu is fine
