hi guys,
i have had an android phone (not rooted, stock) for a while. I recently brought an android tablet, archos arnova 7c g2 running gingerbread.
i know how to set the security on my phone, the tablet however is a bit more complex. the option to set a security lock is not listed in the settings and i can't find anything on the marketplace that will provide this function.
can anyone help? maybe recommend an app?
also i have been looking at rooting it to see if it unlocks the feature. i am new to android and have no tech/programming knowlege. would it be worth pursuing rooting? or is there another way to secure the device?
i am very happy with the tablet, it does everything i need, i would feel a lot happier if i could secure it in case one of the kids should play with it and lose data.
thanks in advance
jay
You mean you cannot find the option in settings>location and security?

Hello! I have recently bought Trak tPad-7110 E in Lithuania. It comes with Android 4.0.4, Baseband version: 1.4rc3, Kernel version 3.0.8, Build number 20120713-F712.
I am not allowed to post links yet, but if you google the name of the tablet, you'd come to the website which is in polish. google "Trak tPad"
I believe it is manufactured in either China or Poland. When hard resetting, default language is Polish. My question is, Would it be possible to install a fresh android version on it, without the retarded apps this tablet comes with. It is bogged with useless stuff that slows the tablet down, and that is my reason why I really want to install vanilla version of Android.
What version would you recommend installing? Is it even possible? I have not found any information on the internet regarding this tablet.
Thanks in advance!
Bump... Guys, I really need your help!
Come on guys, please!!
Hey, I'm planning to get this tablet, have you managed to root it?

Well, I haven't really tried yet, as I do not have much of knowledge regarding android rooting, but I was looking forward to someone who maybe did that.
About the tablet... Programs stall pretty often, when updating apps, tab is unusable because of the stutter and lag. With no background proccesses running, it is a fine tablet to browse the net, no stutters there or anything. Same goes with apps.

Hi Everyone.
I hope I am posting this in the correct location as all of this is new to me. I have just purchased a MyGica ATV520 and to my dissapointment have found that it has a custom Rom produced by MyGica. I can't say I'm overly fussed with the preloaded interface and would love to run a raw version of android. It seemed simple enough although I was unable to find anything after many hours searching Google. I am hoping I have come to the correct place so someone can kindly point me in the correct direction.
Many thanks in advance, Kenton
Hi to all At my wits end trying all sorts of tricks to get this tablet to work and was told to join this site as it is the best. Basically I bought a 7 inch tablet in Greece and it has a flavour of android on it that can't access the google app store. It uses something called 'slideme market' which is apparently like google apps. from all I've learnt I believe I have to put on a new standard version of android. I know it's called 'rooting' and thats about it ! Can anybody out there point me in the right direction or offer help please. I'm fairly new to all of this... including the use of forums ! I can get any tech info out of the system which is made by 'Crystalaudiovideo' but they tell me there are no plans to upgrade the software as it involves buying licences...Thanks guys :good:
Hi!
I'm not new to the rooting scene - I've rooted practically every Android device that I've ever owned. However I can not, for the life of me, find any documentation at all on the interwebs about rooting the LG Google TV running Android 4.2.2. Towelroot and other root apps did nothing for me, sadly.
The reason for rooting is that I want to purchase Lightpack, an awesome TV backlighting system that can work with rooted Android devices to backlight the TV and effectively "extend" the screen (Google it for more info - XDA will not allow me to post outside links since my account is new). The app is installed on my TV just fine, but the issue is that Lightpack cannot enter "screen grab mode" without root, which is the mode where the lightpack updates in real time with the colors of whatever is on the screen, hence the whole point of purchasing it.
Has anyone been successful in rooting the LG Google TV? Here are my specs:
Android 4.2.2
Model no 47GA6400-UD
47" LG branded "Google TV" - once again cannot provide URL because I am below the post limit. Google the model no for more info.
Would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but it looks like they don't have anything on the LG branded Google TV and rooting it - only the Sony models. Can't find anything at all about LG model anywhere! Crazy.

Maybe The Sony One Is Easier To Work With Haha, Well Sorry I Couldnt Help And Good Luck !
Sweet! I got my LG Google TV rooted! I used Cydia Impactor over Wi-Fi and then installed the SuperSU APK manually - worked like a charm. Now I can buy Lightpack and it will work!
So excited. Yes!
Wish I could post a tutorial for those other LG Google TV users out there waiting for root - I can't post it yet because XDA is disallowing images and links in my posts until 10 posts.
Guide
Did your ever get a guide done for this? I'm interested in rooting my Google tv for lightpack.
I could share contact details if you would prefer.

I did, actually! Without huge knowledge of Android. I didn't find a guide specific to LG Google TV, but I found something on the web and did the equivalent of SSH into the TV over WiFi and pushed the root to the TV remotely. Unfortunately even with root, Lightpack's lazy devs never got screen capture working fully. It bogs the TV resources down so badly that the TV won't even shut off, have to unplug it.
So good news and bad news. Rootable but useless for Lightpack screen capture. Other root stuff works though.
Are you still active here? I am looking for someone using a Google TV by LG

Hello All,
I just recently purchased a new Lenovo A808t smartphone, and boy is she a beauty...only problem is I can't get her to communicate with me in English. Well, kinda. I was able to change the android language output, so every basic function on the phone is in English, however, all the apps, and more complicated functions seem to be in chinese with no apparent way to change it. Kinda just wanting to get it back to basic android operating system with a google play store and then I can restock it with everything I want from there. Any ideas about how I can go about doing that? I'm a noob rooter, I've only done it once, and I'm a little worried about doing it with this new phone since I haven't seen anything out there on the interweb about rooting said phone. I'm open to ideas though. Oh, and in case it's important, the android system being run is 4.4.2. Thanks!
