Is there a chance That Someone with appropriate qualifications prepare for us a version 3.2 for the Folio?
in the forum of Vega They did a version of Vegacomb 3.2 Build 6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221336
Cant the vegacomb be flashed on to the folio ?, would be nice sins mine is updated to the latest official patch and i cant rly do so much fun stuff with it.

Just google for "dexter folio". First hit is dexters homepage. You will find a link to his current support forum there... He is not inactive, just moved somewhere else.
@Jon2555: I am not working on a 3.2 port. I don't know much about porting (this is basically the reason why i have not answered your pm yet, sorry). I prefer android versions that can be compiled from source.
I know that you don't work on 3.2 version but you have some skills and android 4.0 will open source and you'll can compile it. We're hoping

What about this update?
Something better?
I used Folio3x before, but too slow for everyday use.
Poor graphic performances.
Functioning quite well. Especially those who suffered from the button crazy.
Neutralize the buttons on the right side and only use the buttons HC.
Moved to proper forum.

Hi,
I've started to download all the listed tools from AOSP and from Chulri's XDA post but wanted to start the discussion on what steps would be needed to create a gingerbread rom for our Gen8 devices.
My initial questions:
1- Would the driver's source from Archos that are currently written for 2.2 be compatible with 2.3? Can they reasonably be updated?
2- Aren't there two approaches we could use? Update the kernel to be compatible with 2.3 or back port 2.3 to be compatible with our existing kernels?
I apologize for probably sounding ignorant but this is all learning for me and any help is greatly appreciated. If nothing else, this thread would be a great place to discus the steps it would take to develop a Gingerbread rom from a high level stand point.
Mr. Clown - I'd appreciate leaving this in the devel forum since it is specific to devel for 2.3 and gen8 and not just an "is it possible" thread.
Thanks!!
-Nate

do you have kernel dev experience for linux/unix?
if yes concentrate on cm a lot of development has been done.
there are phones who have almost identical components ( well the usb attached screen is a problem)
the recovery will be hell of a problem too..
if you never worked with that stuff (at least i hope you are a c crack otherwise look for other stuff to learn c .kernel development is one of the hardest stuff you can pick in softwaredev.) look for another project where somebody could guide you and teach you stuff the first project will be learning the second could be a very specific project like this where you have to work on your own

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've been reading just about all of Chulri's posts in his thread and I know $aur0n would answer specific questions if I asked. Other than that, I took a few C++ classes a few years ago but never took the OS/Hardware level classes. I stopped at advanced/e intermediate algorithms and data structures. Either way, I was hoping to start a discussion with this thread about steps that would be needed to happen to build a gingerbread ROM.

i am sorry but you will not be able to develop a kernel with some classes you took i am a dev so i am quite avit with it i come from a completly different backgroud (windows software) but i have a unbelievable hard time to find a starting point with cm7 for sgs although there other developers around

That's understandable. If development is going to be tough or near impossible, I'd hope to try before I give up. Right now I'm learning about kernel development but would love it if someone could help me focus.
Is the touch display driver the hardest part to upgrade? What changed in 2.3 that makes updating the driver so difficult? Or would it be better to "back port" 2.3 to be compatible with archos's driver?

1) I would say one of the hardest parts
2) I think the archos drivers aren't compatible, so ...
3) ... this would be better because then you've better drivers support (for each hardware)
Again:
I think this project is assomeI'd love to be a helper/tester.
I'm NOT EXPERT, I'm ONLY TRING TO HELP and SORRY IF I MADE SOME MISTAKES!
I have some ideas for porting android 3.2 to Folio 100 but I can't do all myself - I need some help.
My first idea is:
To add changes made in android 3.2 system(framework, apps etc.) to our Honeycomb from SDK or Xoom and decompile zlmage inside HC kernel(if that tool existe or find it's kernel source, add changes from android 3.2 kernel and recompile it).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. This idea is really hard to realise because kernel(I don't think that tool existe) but it's convinient(we'll finish it in short period with little work).
2. For this idea first we need to add changes from android 3.1 and after that from android 3.2.
3. I NEED YOUR HELP to find WHAT ARE CHANGES and TO DOWNLOAD
THEM for adding them to OUR build(First android 3.1 changes and after android 3.2).
For system that isn't problem but for kernel it is. The most detiled list of changes can
be find at Android SDK site but I think that we can't download them.
4. I think that mblaster know a lot of kernels and compiling it won't be problem for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second idea is similar to first one:
To add changes made in android 3.2 system(framework, apps etc.) to our Honeycomb from SDK or Xoom and compile android 3.2 tegra kernel from
Android Git or from other sources.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I think that this idea is the best if mblaster help us or some one else that know a lot
of kernels.
2. Google won't relise full source of android 3.2 before pushing up android 4.0 aka
Ice Cream Sandwich to shops.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can port system itself(it will be faster if someone make a list of changes) but kernel is
a problem. I don't know much about kernels and because it I post first idea.
If you have new ideas or you don't agree with me or want to help me, please, post here!
EDIT: Android 3.2 might work with our HC kernel.

nice idea..
if u write drivers and kernel change, some other developer can use your work alot.
anyone writing all the drivers for folio will make toshiba happy, as they did not do it..
so if you make all this happen and write the drivers , i am sure folio will once again be a good tablet.
the development is something that takes companies 3-6 months to do, so you will be back in december 2011 or maybe early 2012 with your release?
Can someone compile Tegra 3.2 kernel from here? I tried but without success. I'm porting system now.
I tried to unyaffs FolioComb 3xx v2.0 image bu I got 'Segmentation fault'???
I succefully unyaffsed Android 3.1 and 3.1 SDK images.
I'll try to backup it from my tablet(I have FolioComb on it)
Nice to see someone trying to update folio 100, thanks to you and people in CM7 thead.
I don´t know about compiling so I cant help. But i keep an eye in this post.
Do you know anything about system?
EDIT:Nothing
Recently more and more Android developer start to developping and propose to upgrade their OS from old Froyo (Android 2.2/2.3 ) to Android 4.0 (ICS)system,even though low level 600MHz CPU/256Mb RAM Android phone
(ex. Huawei U8150 ) :
Refer to beneath thread of their activities:
1. Port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & EVERY PHONE Thread
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117 )
2. [Huawei U8150] Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP Alpha 3 WIFI+SD WORKS
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366404
I hope someone of our Archos developer also can consider to develop Android 4.0 (ICS)system for Gen 8 ASAP
well the answer is easy:
and if u would have spend some time in this forum - reading - u would have it already...
Atm we got 3 main developers for our archos devices: sauron/bubu/divx
Since sauron will stick to his UD for a while as it seems hes out of the race atm
The other 2 are wokring on CM7 (-> Ginger) atm.
Even they are doing a great job we still dont have a fully bug free and installable CM7 yet...
CM9 (-> ICS) is in a very early development stage (as u already can see in any other android forum here - mostly alpha builds with barely functionality) so it's kinda meanless to switch over to it atm - since we dont have enough developers for it.
Once CM7 is fully working I think bubu/divx will head on to CM9 ofc (if they still own an archos then )
Even I know u just had good intensions - I think those [Request] threads are meanless most time - as they won't "help" anyone sadly.
Imho: if u want to contribute and take the development a step further or want to help them - join the Cyanogen Bull RC development discussions and help out with bug-reports or anything else u can do...

Hello FrEcP:
Thanks for your update informations.
Sorry!I do not know how to develope Linux or Android OS and just a Android system user
However I always keep watch the new OS improvement and contribute my testing result to developer all the time and wish Archos Gen8 could be better
performace than before!!
ICS Port to our gn8 started!
letama, made an alpha version of an ICS Port for our devices
Look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404492
Currently the only thing that seems to run is the touchscreen (Actually the launcher is pretty smooth)! And it's booting of course
nice to see progresses in ics development for ics!!
Dear Gods and Mortals,
I've just joined XDA a few minutes ago, and am about to post for the very first time.. Please be gentle to a certified n00b..:angel:
Anyway, I've learned a lot reading articles here in XDA, and I think it's time I give back, and hope my 3 cents worth would be of any help..
I'm using an Atrix MB861, and just like you guys, am frustrated with Motorola for not sharing ice cream with us..
I have also read that the ICS ROMs of Samsung Galaxy R i9103 and LG Optimus 2x are not useful in the effort of improving ICS and JB efforts for the Atrix.
After sifting through some Chinese websites, I've come across ZTE U970 (Mimosa, Grand), which may have similar specs with the Atrix. Maybe some dev can try disassembling it for some usable kernels or whatchoo-choos.
They have posted on their website a JB/ICS ROM update. (Sorry, as a n00b cannot post links)
So, is it of any use? I really someone checks it out whether it's legit.
Thank you for your time and for bearing with a n00b post.:silly:

PS: presently using epinter's (THANK YOU:good CM10.1.. fast, stable, very usable.. just no mic and poor cam.
PS2: Also, can anyone tell me how to click the so-called "ThankYou" button? I use IE10 and FF Beta, but I see no "Thank You button"..
This has already been discussed, the only kernel that passed the tests to run on the Atrix was the kernel of the Galaxy R that is currently being ported by our devs.
Hi,
I have localy almost all tegra2 devices kernels. Also ZTE Grand's one. I'm using them as reference. ZTE uses same method of lcd panel init, LG has similar method of tegrapart use (mmc partition offset), Xooms has similar (older) PMU. Each one is helpful, yet none is compatible enough to be used on it's own. Since getting JTAG uart we can work on any kernel, so galaxy/xoom only kernel is no longer valid (just for clarification).
If you check the website download, they have the NEW TEST ROM 4.1 JB version. As I reviewed the old XDA posts, it only points to the old 4.0 stock ROM with 2.6 kernel, NOT the new Test ROM.
Maybe we can download the NEW 4.1 ROM and see if we can analyze it for stuff we can use or modify, as Atrix and U970 comes from the same AP20/AP25 Tegra2 Family. Who knows, they might have a working 3.x kernel on their NEW test ROM..
Still hoping ang believing...
Reading the much older posts (Aug 2012), many (readers, not the Devs) seem to shoot down the idea of using the built-in drivers in these ROMS without actually trying to crack or use it first.. Better try NOW, as Moto ICS upgrade is a dream. Now, because it's a matter of principle. Now, because the longer the time, the more new powerful cheaper phones arrive to distract us away from our principles..:crying:
Anyway, enough of the yada-yada. If anyone is interested in the latest Jelly Bean ROM of U970 (Nov 29 2012), and the latest updated ICS ROM of Hisense T96 (Sept 2012), here they are:

No, you need to ask the developers, but I highly doubt they will listen
All force-closes create a logcat entry. It would be nice if people would provide the extra information found therein more often...
Ok, reading the post provided, the op sais you need to extract some libs and push them to /system/lib. did you pushed them?

I've tried that and it didn't work. It needs more development or wait until we have a complete functional Kernel and update to the latest Android version available.

"wait until we have a complete functional kernel"....so we don't have a complete functional kernel for GB (2.3.6, like your thread states you have and are looking for help with)? i'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about and clearly haven't read anything. a 30 page thread and countless complaints about fc, no activity since October. go post something like this over in that thread or contact the dev directly. on top of that, the dev's account has been disabled, which pretty much means drop it and move on.
"latest Android version available" - officially for us 2.3.6 rev 145, unofficially 4.2.2 (stable)/4.3 (semi-stable), 4.4 in idk what early stage of dev (contact epinter for update, but not an eta)
I have no idea what i'm talking about? Excuse me ohh allmighty lord who knows everything. I have a question for you. What is the minimum android version required to run BBM? 4.0 right? Do we have that officially? No, so we have to flash custom roms. Maybe he didnt because he wants everything working at 100% and sticks with GB. The dev of BBM for 2.3.6 isnt developing the app anymore so we need yo wait until that app gets to work on GB or wait for a complete and functional kernel for the devs bring to us a fully functional Android ROM based on 4.3-4.4. LEARN to read before treat someone like a stupid 5years old kid.
