I just stumbled over this page:
http://phonetipstricks.com/archos-101-tablet-update-to-android-3-0-honeycomb#
Is it true? Does it work? Or is it a fake or even worse, malware?
It is the same thing we are already talking in 2 other postings.
Just to put the binaries of the Emulator Image onto the archos doesn't work.
The Poster also didn't say that you can't unlock, as the screen is not responding.
We need the Sourcecode of HoneyComb not the SDK.
The SDK only has the api to develop Software for HC.

Was suspicious too since it was only the unlock screen mentioned. Was wandering it it was a leaked HoneyComb release for Archos Gen 8, but now that's clarified. Thx!
Honeycomb on Archos gen8 [development thread] [early stage]
Hi,
I have read on diffrent websites about Sony releasing android vanilla for the Tablet Z?
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/05/sony-xperia-z-tablet-with-stock-android-and-unlocked-for-development/
But when reading in forums it seems like users have to root there device to get Android vanilla?
BestRegards
The article you linked clearly states you need to root and is only intended for development
Sent from my Xperia Tablet Z
I rooted my Xperia - L successfully using the RootKit method. But, I am not happy with myself in the sense that just by going through the code, I did not really understand how the developer exploited CVE 2013-6282 bug to achieve root. I don't have any prior experience in Linux kernel development. As a side note, I could set up NDK and recompile the exploit successfully for ARM platform. Please guide me with appropriate pointers so that I can understand the code completely. What information do I need to have? Where should I start? Do I need to have driver development on *NIX?
Hi,
I'm interested in starting av test-driven Android project. Most of the info i found on Google was from 2011 and 2012, so I though I'd ask here for some up-to-date info. First, should I set up my project using Roboelectric as many results on Google seem to recommend, or are there more current frameworks I should be using?
I'll be using the Eclipse ADT bundle during the development process.
Best regards,
kenneho
Hello.
I am very keen in getting the Ubuntu Touch ported to my Xperia Z2 phone. Obviously, I'll need all the help and guidance possible.
What I currently have? developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/
I'm using the official porting guide as checklist. Below are what I have accomplished so far with the guide
Setup my Development Environment
Have built for Nexus with success to see if my environment is up and running (the building threw no errors, so I assume it "works", since I have no means of testing because I don't have a nexus handset)
I have added repos regarding under how to enable a new device.
I have done the first part of the Device specific changes using the check-config script, the _defconfig file in the kernel (this is Sony Xperia Z2 kernel: CyanogenMod/android_kernel_sony_msm8974 , right?)
When I did the build ( just to test so far what I've done ) I got the error that, its using the pre-compiled kernel, or something like that.
Now my questions:
How do I tell it which kernel to use, and where?
Where is the pre-compiled kernel and which is the precompiled: the one from the vendor/ (which I got from extracted binary from sony official) OR the /kernel/sony/msm8974 ?
I've gone looking around to see if I could perhaps follow the pattern used in the porting to the Xperia Z, since they're in the same series. Yet, I hardly could follow what exactly the 'porter' did. I was interested in finding answers to the 'What?', and 'Where?' of the porting done, but couldn't get solid answers.
I ask this here with the hope that, a developer who's been through the porting process will be able to offer assistance. I've been in touch with Mamenyaka, and along the lines, he'll be assisting too. But since he isn't available all the time, I ask this here.
Concerning the above list of questions, please, any assistance will be appreciated.
Its understandable, yet unfortunate, that the official ubuntu porting guide has been made to be so broad and so generic its hard to streamline what it says with a specific device. With this thread, I hope to get very specific instructions precisely tailored to the Xperia Z2 and to accommodate being extensive, instructions for the Z line series.
thanks

Hello,
if you are still working on this project:
Your Problem was not that you used the prebuilt kernel, your problem was that the script doesnt use mkabootimg correctly. For sony device you have to use another command.
Friend i would love to see ubuntu on my z2
