Hi,
Ii bought my Archos device knowing it is a great developer device - anyway im not into porting linux,...
As there are many mobile OSes and i really want a "normal" linux on my 101 too, I thought about gathering all Informations about the different OSes so it's easier to choose one
Anyway this is what i know for now (will just include latest versions - unless there are different develoment stages):
Android:
Froyo (2.2 ...)
Archos Stock 2.4.82 - (changes)
UrukDroid (download, server-link, homepage, wiki, development, bugs, TV, 3G)
Urukdroid 1.1RC1 (based on FW 2.3.38) - 1.1RC2 update - 1.1RC3 kernel
develoment stopped
Cinema-Plugin enabled
UrukDroid 1.6 (based on FW 2.4.81, Android 2.2.1), Changelog
OC module included
Overclocked Kernels for UD (DO NOT USE UNLESS U KNOW WHAT U ARE DOING)
releases by Sauron are always filed at his server
releases by Sibere are always linked in his Signature
Gingerbread (2.3 ...)
openAOS Android Anoa (CM 7) - version 18.08.2011 (homepage, download, bugs)
openAOS Bull RC2
Honeycomb (3.0 ...)
we will never see - due to missing sources
ICS (4.0 ...)
ICS for Gen8 (wip, to be released)
...
other Linux:
Linux Angström
Archos SDE, version ?
Kubuntu
Kubuntu Mobile for GEN 8 Tablets, Pre-alpha Test release
Kubuntu (KDE Plasma Active) how to build
Ubuntu
Bbodhilinux (Ubuntu based with Enlightenment), version Alpha 1 (development stopped as it seems)
Ubuntu install guide
Meego
noting yet, really like too see
Debian
Debian-Archos (XFCE4 Alpha 0.3, Gnome Beta 2,...)
If u now ask - how to use them - here is the answer:
OpenAOS Multiboot
UrukDroid AlternativeOS (UD >= v1.1 needed)
or just installthe SDE and replace the rootfs.img file on the device with your deserved one (maby wont work for all OSes)
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT OSes OR FOR BUGS,... this is just for gathering information about available OSes.
Thanks
As I can't search for all those on myself I'll be happy to get some help:
love to see post like "UD 1.5B4 is out -> LINK"
and please correct me if im wrong with information provided...
Last but not least THANKS to all DEVs like Sauron, Bubu, letama, Sibere...
last changes:
- bug fixes
- Ubuntu install guide

KDE Plasma Active would be nice and smooth...
Runs on BeagleBoard with similar ARM A8.
I think it could be a nice alternative.

Cool, but I don't understand everything in Tut's.
Even could be a bit risky. Someone of the coders here should make an Image and upload it for all of us.
A Video would be nice to see the responsiveness.

just try the manual update
UrukDroid 1.6RC4 (based on FW 2.4.65, Android 2.2.1) ?
i cant fine main topic about this rom. is it stable or beta release ?
UrukDroid 1.5 is install on my tablet
1. As the RC4 is in the developer thread, it can't be a mainrealese.
2. RC4 also implies that it's not release.
3. It is based on 2.4.80.
4. This is the developer part, so you can't expect anything here is released.
Hi,
Could you please change links for UrukDroid. Some people use installation files without even reading a bit of documentation and this makes a lot of questions later.
Please point download files to proper download file section of UD wiki
http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Download
and changelogs, to changelog page
http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Changelog
thx.

Are any of these firmware versions suitable for an Archos 70 Internet Tablet HDD version? (originally a 250Gb model, upgraded to 1Tb) - model A70H according to the recovery screen.
I'm trying to repair this, as it won't boot, but the firmware on the Archos site won't install.

As the A70H is a Gen8 Device they basicly should work.

Hey guys,
any of you managed to get flash player 10.1/2/3 going on your viewpad 7? I found this cracked apk file on the net call flashplayer for armv6. It installed OK(at least seemed to be) but didn't make actual difference to the device. I still can't play facebook games, still can't play web-based flash... I've tried with different web browers but none of them would work, very sad....
I fully get it flash player only suppose to work with armv7 + but there's gotta be ways around this right??

hi
providing craked software ie Warez is against the rules of this forum
this just for ur info
This thread is Moved to General
Are Warez the only solution?
While we're on topic, how come Flash isn't installed on the ViewPad 7? I have it on all my other (2) devices. I just figured that Flash was an Android standard.

I guess the CPU (600 MHz) and/or main board does not support Flash. It's the hardware, not Android.
EDIT: I heard that some of the mobile browsers do support flash on it own.
I think that Opera Mobile or Opera Mini do support it.
Think there is aleady flash 10.1 for our pad you can download it urself or install custorm ROM regads
Flash alone link:
http://androidcampus.blogspot.com/2011/07/app-working-adobe-flash-player-for.html
ROM(kernel "overclocked to 850Mhz" and Flash 10.1 included-please read hw version note):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224825
I will be loading this ROM tomorrow(most probably)
regards zbig0
Let us know how it works.
I"m not keen on rooting.
Knowing how inept I am, I will surely brick it.

Hi,
I have installed few custom ROMs already so feel quite safe... if your install prior to custom ROM eq Clockworks recovery then even if you brick pad you can recover and load whatever ROM u want...
I have now EUViewpad7 1.4 with build in flash ability and OT to 850Mhz and some tweaks...Rom works fine no issue with it.
Flash? hmm Works overally only problem I see is flash-Video--> when you try to wach it there are some color artefacts(which makes picture weird you can see video but colors get weird) or as with justin.tv browser is closing up but flash games etc works fine(maybe little slow).
Appreciate the advice.
Have 1.5 GB available but can`t install anything since RAM is down to 25 MB.

Gnash
The limitation is that the CPU only supports an ARMv6 instruction set, and closed-source Adobe Flash Player (tm) has been compiled for an ARMv7 instruction set. I do not see how a ROM update could solve that. Theoretically a ROM update could emulate an ARMv7 instruction set, but is that realistic for a platform that is mostly open source?
The more practical option would be to port Gnash to the Viewsonic devices. I cannot post links, but there is a page out there on how to build Gnash on android.
BTW, the thread is entitled "Viewpad 7", but it's also the same issue on the Viewsonic v350 smartphone.
i've tried the las flashplayer 10.2 and used Dolphin HD explorer and all works fine. Facebook games also works fine!

Maybe this is a difference between Viewpad 7 and the v350 smartphone. I was able to install that 10.2 package you posted, without error, but it fails to render flash content on the v350. I went to a couple different flash testing pages, including the one on the adobe website. It displays a Lego-looking box (like the puzzle piece that used to appear years ago); it's as if flash was never installed.

I have installed the latest flash 10.2
it all seems to be working swimmingly except for one app
ESPN goals
The video of footy goals actually plays well except for a message bang in the middle of the screen blocking the main action
it states
"Cannot play video
Sorry, this video cannot be played."
and closing this message also closes the playing video
I guess this is an app/software issue and as such modification is needed which is a shame
Reinstalling an older version of espn goals seems to have worked 1.6 (I could not find 1.7)
1.8 is the latest
i just installed the flash player 10.2 on my viewpad 7 but i still cant play flash. It displays the lego with a "?" inside. In fact, when i go to setting manage application, i dun see the flash player running. What can i do?
Flash doesn't work
I've installed the EUviewpad-Rom 1.7. Flash seems to be included but doesn't work. My Viewpad has ite-hardware / hw1.07. On flashbuilder.eu it shows that flash isn't running.
for those who installed flash player on viewpad 7, is it choppy when watching videos online?
Unable to use Adobe Flash
I have tried all the Flash APKs found on this site. None work - period. My Viewpad 7 is HWVer 107 and is in factory unmodified condition. If anyone is having success running any of these versions of Adobe Flash, it would be helpful to elaborate on both the ROM version and browser you are using. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
The core issues being that Vpad7 is based on ARMv6 CPU, which Adobe excluded when designing Flash Player 10.x development, so it really doesn't matter our hardware ver. is 106 or older, and newer ones v.107 - whether it's ITE touchscreen or not being irrelevant in this case. Java is installed along with Flash Player 10.1 or 10.2 - but it simply will NOT run.
Those with non-ITE hardware perhaps are luckier as their kernel can be over-clocked to run faster, so whatever workarounds or fixes can get it to run for them.
I have a HTC Eris with similar specs. and we had 10 times development work from XDA'ers, LOL, over what's dedicated here for the Vpad7, trying various patches to get it to run - and, still N.G. (no good.) The newer devices, like my HTC Incredible 2 with better specs - 1G CPU and add'l RAM - run Flash 10.1 out of the box - been rooted & running custom ROM to upgrade it to run better & faster.
Been uninstalling, re-installing both 10.1 and 10.2 - Dolphin HD browser & Skyfox browser plus the default ones - my summary: it simply won't do it. Moving on to other Apps that can be optimized, just my 2 cents. of course.
Cheers !
P.S. However, as long as I can watch YouTube on it like now, whether it's Flash 10.x or not, really doesn't matter to me (anyway.)
Hi, I have installed genymotion, sdk from android, gapps and arm translator, Google Play store works fine and I can install other apps. After I open brave frontier, it always give me an error message "unfortunately brave frontier has stopped". You may check the screenshot I attached.
Specs:
WINDOWS 7 64 BIT
Latest version of sdk and genymotion
Android Kitkat 4.4.2
hi can anyone help me pls?
You can try installing Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip.
Hey folks,
I've been busy porting Cyanogenmod 12.1 to the HP Slate 21 (s100 and k100). I've a stable build which works really nice other than a few issues I've been trying to fix. The only browser the works is that stock one that comes with it. If I do Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (or any other browser), it loads but shows a black screen. This was not an issue in the stock 4.4.2 version. I can provide logs, screenshots, etc if they are needed.
Thanks in advance!
Peace,

I've been using VNC for remote access/sipport to my mom's tablet. However, she'll be moving around and one thing to use VNC, I need to open a port in the firewall. QuickSupport would be ideal. I found an older version which supports Gingerbread, but when it tells me that there is an Add On available, and I select to install the Add On, it force closes. Doesn't even get to start downloading the Add On. Does anyone have QuickSupport running on a gTablet with Android 2.3.7 and can share the Add On?
Thanks.
PS. It could be that I am looking for the AOSP version of the QuickSupport Add On. I was able to get the AOSP version for an Android device running Android 4.0.4 but this version was not Gingerbread compatible.
