often requested now opened:
i will put at least 20 bucks on the table for a "stable" cm7 mod most features should work but official cm7 status isn't needed imo.

I dont give any money, because $aur0n want to backport some of the Cyanogen Mod 7 features
Please read the Developement Thread of Urukdroid.
Why we need more than one ROM?
If many Developers work on different projects, its crap
But if many Developers work on one project together, this project will be good
Thats my opinion Thats why i support Urukdroid by testing and helping on Developement

---

i think sauron should work on a cm7 port and base his future work on cm7
what wider range then with cm you could have you would profit from much more developers (userspace and some kernel work for sure too) and we would be faster on updates from google and completly independent(well not 100%) from soon stopping asus support
if we want to gain some life for our gen8 this is imo the last chance we have.

Wow,slowly please
This sounds like an Apocalypse
Just wait You'll see
Or you start to helping the Developement of Urukdroid, so we can "gain some life in our gen8" Helpers always welcome I also just startet to help $aur0n at his great work on Urukdroid just last week and i've much more knowledge (even now)
And:
Be happy that we've a rom!
I've had the Archos Gen7 (Archos 5 Internet Tablet) and nobody developed things for it
Just some extremly unstable Froyo Alpha releases... very poor
But we've got a really good rom on Gen8 Be happy, and joyn Urukdroid "team"

@Lennb:
Why are there so many cars when a xyz is doing ok?
Because everyone has other needs, other opinions and other wishes.
So if you want to stay with Uruk, fine.
If someone wants MIUI.11 or CM19 ported it is his wish.
And if he is willing to pay for his wishes, than let him.
@gbohm:
€10 from me

my worry with urukdroid is that it is still based on archos because userspace stuff isn't open sourced, so the experience stays.
with cm you can work on every part of the "rom" the possibilities are a lot bigger.
you can't compare a modded rom with a custom kernel to a full blown aosp implementation.
i think sauron makes a wonderfull job but he is working on a platform with a short life span, cm is here to stay and with any new dev it will get better.

I think the main problem is the bootloader not yet open, right?

Wrong.
As stated often before we have the sde, which allows us to install another kernel.
If someone would implement one with nandroid features, scriptingsupport and second boot we have the recovery.
There is no need to break anything.
And juts o get CM working that is not even needed.

you mean Custom Recovery right? But I don't understand what are we waiting for if we already got the bootloader work!?
sorry I'm not a developer, I've just asking..

Yes it got cracked. BUT no developer in his right mind is going to use that crack.
If you apply the crack the possibility of bricking your device is growing exponentially because there is no fallback position available.
Other android devices have fastboot or sd card boot out of the box.
Archos has neither so if you patch the boot0 and avboot and the next time the user wants to install a stock firmware there is a big possibility the device will be bricked if that firmware updates only one of the two boot loaders.

Good News!
Okay, not for Cyanogen Mod, but for Honeycomb!
Look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13877108#post13877108
Are you'll spend some money on Honeycomb too?
For me, Honeycomb is better than Cyanogen Mod

You can't tell people what they want.
You can only listen to them. They're willing to PAY money to get a CM7 port. That means that they're pretty set on one.
I would like a port too and I'm willing to put up $20 for someone to port over clockworkmod and another $20 for a stable CM7 build.
CM7 would be WAYYYYY faster than Uruk or any other manufacturer firmware. Have you SEEN how slow the Archos Gen 8 tablets can be? Something OBVIOUSLY doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Nothing with a 1GHZ snapdragon processor that runs Android 2.2 should fall so behind in nearly every task it takes on.
Not to mention that 256 mb of ram should be more than enough.

---

20$ from my side too, for stable CM7+ on archos 101

---

thank you i hope that we will raise some money to attract a dev who could buy himself an archos and get it paid from us after he build cm

Honestly. With uruk 1.0 kernel 1.1b3 (cgroups), aligned FS ext4 extents and good settings/tweaks, a patched sqlite3.so lib plus a good launcher (launcher pro) my A70it is smooth!
