Hi,
I hope this is the right place for my question.
I just bought the Toshiba Excite Go (AT7-C8) which has an Intel x86 processor and runs Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
(Unfortunately I am not allowed to provide the link to the product page as a link, here a few specs:
Processor*Intel® Atom® Processor Z3735G (2MB Cache, Up to 1.83GHz)
Memory1GB (on board)
Storage*8GB eMMC
)
Since it has an x86 processor I was hoping I can install somehow a Linux system on this tablet. I would like to run some home automation applications (EIBD, Linknx and openHab) which I currently run on a Geode LX 800 system. I think this here is much more powerfull with nearly the same power consumption.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do a Linux installation on such a Android based system. Did anyone already try this and may have a small tuturial?
Thanks a lot,
Ron
Nobody has an idea or hint?
Was someone able to get root access to this tablet?
I can't even move any app to the SD card.
I start to hate this tablet, as many applications are not available for it and I can't get a Linux system set up either ...
I would appriciate any suggestion.
Root
Hello
I found a universal method for tablets on Intel, but no one tested

Hi! I have a Starlight android tv that runs android 4.4.4. The problem is that i can't install most apps because of the version. Does anyone know how to update it? It says " SYSTEM VERSION TTX V-003, CPU: CA7*[email protected]". On aptoide in system specs it says " Cpu: armeabi v7-a armeabi"
Model Number
Do you have model number?
That would help the process
I also have smart tv with same processor but I don't know its brand
I Have a Graetz TV, same everything and I can't install nothing
Lenovo Idea Tab A1000L-F Model 60041 Android ver. 4.1.2 Kernel ver. 3.4.0
I don't find a forum for this particular device, so I am posting here.
I am looking for information to see if I can root this device and perhaps install a different android version on it.
Currently it is very slow with many pieces of software that I do not use.
I know it is an older machine and I am just hoping to repurpose it as a recipe storage to replace my much older Kindle.
Not being very up on the subject, I would inquire if a very tiny form of linux could be installed, instead of android?
Failing that, a version of android that is maybe standalone with apps I could add singly.
Software, besides OS, that I would require on it would be very minimal.
OS, internet connectivity, browser, file storage, clock, notepad type app, calendar.
A few years ago I had a Samsung G3, that I rooted successfully, through this website [THANKS].
I am now requesting your help once again.
I recently got an Acer Liquid M220 as a backup phone. It has Windows Phone 8.1 OS on it. There is a similar device that has Android 5.0 on it, the Acer Liquid Z220. Both share the same hardware specs. If the Z220 can run Android then perhaps the M220 can run it too.
Is it possible to remove the Windows Phone OS and replace it with the Android Firmware?
The Acer Liquid M220 is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8210 chipset what understands ARMv7-A ( 32-bit ) instructions set. Hence 32-bit Android should run.

Thanks for the response.
Yes, the hardware is the same so it should be possible to run Android on it. I just don't how the Z220 is partitioned for Android. I don't how to add a bootloader or if Windows Phone bootloader will work with ADB. So the 2 questions I should be asking are:
1. How do I partition the M220 for Android?, and
2. How do I add the Android bootloader to the M220?
Can't give you helpful answers: I've never tried to replace a phone's Windows Mobile OS by Android OS.

Hi all! Android noob looking for suggestions.
Manufacturer: Mediawave PC (now Techland PC)
Hardware Model: MW22-A32
Current OS: 4.4.4
Chipset: Rockchip RK3288 (supposedly capable of Android 8.1)
Rooted with SuperSU
Purchased this 22" touch display off eBay and wanted to load an app that requires Android 6 or higher. The manufacturer does not offer an update package for this device and indicated what I have was a special build for a single project that is now likely being refreshed and hardware liquidated. Tech Support indicated I needed to simply buy a NEW device that already has the OS updated.
I would like to think we can update to a newer version of OS, but I have no idea where to start. I checked a few online videos, but they seemed to point to pre-packaged OS bundles from tech enthusiasts for specific mass market tablet models.
Is an upgrade like this possible without having device specific files/firmware? If so, can you point me to a guide or walkthrough for how to do this as an Android novice? Thank you!

Can I create a recovery from the existing image? Is there a utility that will export that?

Using the 'Official TWRP App', I created a copy of both the boot and recovery image.
For the next step, if the device manufacturer will not supply an updated ROM, can you use the hardware profile help find a close custom rom that may work here? if so, do you have any suggestions on next steps? I installed the 'Droid Info' app to view hardware info, but it was not as detailed as I had hoped.
Can't answer your questions because I never compiled TWRP at my own.
Were you ever able to update this device? I have one that i want to update as well.
I also bought one of these off of ebay and would like to know if you figure out how to upgrade to Android 8.1.

I sent an email to [email protected] and will report back once I get a response:
I purchased one of these recently and the OS is Android 4.4.4
Do you know where I can download the ROM, Recovery image file?
I believe that I saw that your website stated the OS to be Android 7.1.
Is it supposedly capable of Android 8.1?
<and thank you very much>
Yet another question...
The unit I purchased seems to have only 1GB DRAM?!?
Any way to increase this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I did not attempt. TechlandPC did respond and said that this model maxed out at 4.4.4. I was not convinced that the updated firmware will work with this device and could not find anyone specifically doing it to this device - and did not want to brick it. I was able to delete some large system apps and free up some space with OAndBackupX (Andorid 4+)- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dk.jens.backup/
Interested in this aswell.
I know the topic is a few months old but I’m currently looking at possibly purchasing the 22” or 15” in models and wanted to see if there were any further updates? What is everyone using them for? I hope to use them with home assistant and fully kiosk…anyone know if it’s possible? Seems like there is enough interest, maybe we can get this tablet upgraded?

I purchased the 22" for my 83yr mother. I created a desktop stand for her to use it to view her gmail, facebook, etc. Its fairly limited because of the small space on the device, So I found a way to move many of the apps to an external usb. It also does not have a camera - which would have been nice for her to be able to use to make videochats, but I could not get an external usb camera to work (tried 4 different makes/models). I never did attempt to flash and upgrade it.
Oh wow Don…good on you for getting your grandmother up and going with it. I’m a little scared to take the plunge not knowing if it can run what I need…how good is the browser (is the system sluggish?) They two I’m looking at say they have built in cameras (I too was hoping to use it) but I bet it will be a no go :/

If it says in the description that it comes with a camera - you may be ok. Mine clearly stated that it did not have a camera.
It is responsive and works well. I did do something to make it sluggish but I do not remember specifically... it may have been that I came very close to maxing out the storage which caused the issue.
The other thing that I was really disappointed in is that it does not have an HDMI in. So I could not push video to it. It does have an HDMI port, but I havent tested if it does push video to another device since I didnt have a need to do that.
It’s good to hear it’s responsive (or was lol) maybe I should just bite the bullet and get it…if I can just get it to run Home assistant it will be golden…if you think of anything else or figure anything out let me know!
