Anyone know if i can install Busybox on my 101? I want to try run ubuntu on it (like on the nook color) and it seems like i need busybox first. I tried running the busybox installer app and the method mentioned in the nook color thread but both failed. Tnx in advance if you respond to this.

We'll need alot more info than that. Firmware version, root status, etc. Or you can just install the developer edition and use the included Angstrom, it's linux customized for the Archos Gen8.
Also, just FYI, the Archos already has busybox, i think it's required for Android in the first place, but I bet getting busybox isn't nearly the hardest step anyway.
sorry lads i shoulda given the info first time round.
firmware 2.0.71 rooted with archangel.I've already got the sde installed.
i've a little more linux and android knowledge than an average user but it's still limited. tnx for the reponse.
Moved to general as not android development

Umm, not to sound like a dink here, but if you have the SDE installed, why do you need ArchAngel? I'm pretty sure you can root through the SDE more effectively and without running the "questionable" code Archangel....
archangel was just a means to an end and it was quick (3 kids+1 wife+job = little or no spare time) just rooted with newer kernel and removed archangel. sorry if i wasted your time with this guys but as i said this is a learning curve for me.

If he wants to run linux, it makes sense. He'll need the developer edition bootsector for it, so Archangel will let him root without using up the secondary boot option.
I would reflash the develop edition and boot into Angstrom to see what it's like. All the extra Ubuntu stuff would probably grind the a101 to a halt. If you think it's worthwhile, you can build a custom angstrom build with more features.
It has been released on June the 26th!
It can be found at this url.
That information seems to be quite good.
From what I understand, binaries from NVidia contain 2.6.38 kernel with Tegra 2 drivers.
Does anyone here knows if this has any chance of working on Folio 100 ?
Could this kernel be usefull for HC releases ?
Thanks !
It cannot be used as is. Btw I'll give it a try just to experiment.
I downloaded also all the source code from nvidia and'ill try to compile it adding some drivers to handle the touchscreen.
Hey thanks roglio, that's a good source of information. I will give it a try as well, but probably not in these few weeks
Im very interested in using this. I dont have any experiance with making my own rom tho, so i have to go and try to find some recources on that first. If you guy's has a link for me ill be very gratefull

Nvm, after some proper reading on my part, it seems that there is a document there that will help you get it up and running...
After a quick read of the supplied doc's, it seems to me that this is more or less the same way to get linux working as was posted previously. They make an ubuntu disk image and flash a kernel and boot files to load the image from a sdcard. The only diffrence here is that you have "official" drivers for the board.
Yes, you're right and consider that is nvidia in person to release this material.
Maybe we will get ubuntu before honeycomb in the meantime that google release ice cream (with source code).

To get arch running you need to get a file system image similar to the Ubuntu one that nVidia is suggesting. You also need a Arch arm kernel. If I don't forget ill try to look into it
[edit]
Ok, after a quick search I found an Arch arm site and on the forum they have a guide on installing on an ac100, that as far as i know is the folio 100 with a keyboard. (Right?)

I was just asking, can I install android x86 on xbox original? I know you can install linux. I just found it on the side of the road and plug it up and it worked fine. So if i can't, what other OS's can I install

Sadly currently you can't install Android x86 on the Xbox you would have to do a lot of porting work to get it to work. If your looking for operating systems and distros you can install on your Xbox I would recommend taking a look at this list http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Linux#List_of_Distributions.

Hi all,
Installed 4.4 on my old Asus eeepc 1005HA, glad to see nearly everything running smoothly.
I have two questions though. The first is that the keyboard seems to be half working. In that the Fn keys (change audio, brightness ect) are working but none of the letters and other keys are, when I go to type something or navigate it doesnt work. I have a usb keyboard pluggin for the time being which does work.
Second, the shortcut apps on the homescreen have the text half chopped off, not sure what resolution the kitkat is running at but it looks ok apart from the icon text.
And I assume that sleep still isnt working?
Thanks
Also if anyone knows of a more 'laptop' friendly theme they would recommend that'd be helpful too.

Did you install the latest rc?
And aren't there EEEPC patches?

I installed RC1, from what I could see on the x86 website there were only patches or a specific build for ICS, not kitkat

Ok, I see now that only android 4.0 has the eeepc modules/modifications built in.
You must use the proper android 4.0 eeepc iso.
Unless you want to spend time to build 4.4 yourself.

But nearly everything, apart from parts of the keyboard, is already working? Why would I go back to ICS?

1) You can properly use your keyboard.
2) Youll have proper gpu acceleration and any other hardware on your device will work(Specific modules would be there)
3)I don't consider 4.4 stable yet, but you could still build 4.4 with the eeepc modules/etc. if you wanted.
Davidosky99 said:
Hi, that has a simple explanaition.
It's still on RC1.
Let pass a few time, to stable and until then, use 4.3.
Drivers for KK EEEPC, are still not totally ready which explains keyboard and display.
Time is a friend

Ah, right, makes sense then.
Are there drivers for the eeepc on 4.3? Like I said on the x86 website there's only ones for 4.0, I would much rather run jellybean then ICS.
Live booting the eeepc build of 4.0.2 rc2 has got the keyboard working, so is there a build or drivers I can install for 4.3?

A bit more detail please.
How did you wipe the touchpad?
Which version of WebOS did you use?
And anything else that you can think of so that might be useful in for people to help you.

Thanks for the quick response.
Have you read jcsullins post #4 in his toolbox thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52765164&postcount=4
I haven't run this myself as I removed webos myself and am happy with the results.
Hopefully it will resolve your problem (you may need to run the complete reset again before if trying webos Dr 3.0.5 messed anything up).
Hopefully that will work, otherwise the Dr version you need to run 3.0.0 as that is the only one that correctly sets up the partitioning, followed by 3.0.5 to bring it up to date.
If any of the above suggestions work remember that you will have to muck about with the date to reestablish the license. If you have a problem with that just post again and I will give a link to what I'm talking about.
Or if these options don't work I will post further options but the above is probably enough to get started.
Good luck.

You are welcome, so what did you actually do to fix it, as you're answer may help others with a similar problem?
Once again some more info about exactly what you did to be in your current predicament.

After installing webOS what did resize your partitions to and with what?And where did you get a Rom by Sixohtew from as I don't remember/recognise that name in our developers forum.

I didn't after installing WebOS I got the rom and the gaps I installed them. I didn't resize them I'm not sure how to. Sixohtew post is on rootzwiki it was advised by Ronald Deschain a member of this forum.
That is why you have a problem. I really think you need to do a bit more reading and I suggest that you start with jcsullins Rom Toolbox thread followed by mybe watching some of Roland's videos.
Equally l am unable to offer help on Roms that are not on the xda/hp forum as I stick to what's here.
Good luck and have fun ☺
I would agree with sstar. Do your reading on this site in the developer forums. From what I understand, the Rom you installed has not been updated since March and there is not much follow up or discussion of it.
Unless you have a specific reason for using this Rom, I would suggest you look for one on this site that is supported and is updated. Getting Android on the tablet is easy enough with Toolbox, but deciding what Rom to use requires some investigation on your part.
You can wipe and recreate the partitions using LVM and then doctor it.
