I have an Arnova 10 G2. On the back it says 101c (first 10 in big size letters, followed by 1c in small size letters).
Could anyone please let me know if this is a Gen 8 or Gen 9 device.
Hey diablo009!
Why don't you have look at their website:

Especially the contact data:

If i got it right Arnova is the budget series of Archos.
In fact these devices look like Archos tablets but i guess they have different electronics inside (Asian low cost SoC's based on Cortex-A8).
EDIT:
I just had a short look into the firmware update file for Arnova 10 G2 and it seems they are using a RK29xx SoC on the mainboard.
These are low-budget ARM SoC's built by a chinese manufacturer:

Unfortunately these chips are not very well documented.
There's another forum where you might find some help:
http://www.slatedroid.com/
There are G1 and G2 devices... AFAIK this has nothing in common with the G8 or G9 series distributed by Archos.
EDIT:
Around the globe you may find even devices like these mentioned here:

Thanks scholbert. I should've made some research before buying this. But one good thing is that my core intention was as a 10" book reader. So that part is good.
I went in their site a few times, but couldn't really make out. I'll try looking more tonight.
Edit: One positive thing it that there was this app called "arctools" that I could use to flash the rooted version of stock rom. Atleast something, better than being stuck with nothing.
pretty sure arnova is Gen 8 based, but I think it may run gingerbread instead of froyo. I don't tthink the arnova series for Gen 9 has been released.

Please read my post... these devices use different hardware inside.
We should be careful not to confuse people again and mix everything up.
Trust me, i looked into the firmware update file (update.img) from their website.
Completely different low level-structure and content compared to the gen8/9 AOS files.

It was not my intent to imply that the hardware was the same, merely to point out that this was released during the gen 8 releases and not gen 9. I would refer the original poster here for more info on their device .

Hello everyone,
I'm new to XDA, so I don't know if this is the correct place to put this question.
I'm looking for a 8 inch Android tablet, which is fast but not too expensive.
I read somewhere about the Onda V813 and the Ainol NOVO 8 discovery.
What would be a wise choice? Does anybody have experience with one of these tablets?
Many thanks in advance!
8Inch tablets are very rare..
If 7 Inch then Galaxy Tab 2 or Nexus 7
Hello,
gen 8 9 10 is tablets!!
not smartphones!!
so we need a new part for smartphones on this forum
please!
There is not much interest for Archos devices on xda these days.
Hi everyone,
NIce to see a new thread
I've got a Nexus 7 (first Gen) so I'm wondering if I could use the Gear fit on it ?
I mean no notifications probably but who cares.
Does the Gear fit require NFC btw ?
Thanks
As per subject, I'd like to upgrade for a quicker tablet than my n7 2012 for use with my bike turbo trainer...... but does the n9 have native ANT+ support?
Thanks in advance....
The info I gave on the Nexus Help Forum Google Group about the Nexus 6 applies to the Nexus 9 too:
There's 2 parts to this question:
1. Will Android 5.0 include the ANT+ API's?
If it does, then the Nexus 6 9 will definitely include the ANT+ hardware - as the Nexus devices showcase any new OS functionality. We haven't heard any news about this though, so I doubt it.
2. Will the Nexus 6 9 have ANT+ hardware?
If this is the case, then it should be possible to add the software piece in a custom ROM/AOSP build, just like was done for the Moto G 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/ant-moto-g-4g-maybe-t2875420
or possibly using the ANT+ Enabler app (if you want to pay for it) in the same way as the Nexus 5 and 10: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus
Fingers crossed.

Looking at the iFixit Nexus 9 teardown, yes it does have ANT+ hardware (the Broadcom BCM4354)!
Note that the patch for the Moto G 4G mentioned above will not work, as that is for a Qualcomm chip.
