hey y'all!
just bought a new archos platinum 70 and searched the archos website for the developer image to that device, but couldn't find out what gen it is. so i searched here and found no answer even...
ok, then - i caled the support. they told me it would be "gen13" for which no developer-image is provided by now.
seems a bit confusing, because i miss a gen11 & 12 between.
can anybody here say anything about this? may this really be correct?
and if anybody has played around with that device: have you got it into fastboot and/or recovery mode?
when i press the VolDown/PowerOn-combo it brings me into a mode showing a frame of squares around the display. if i then touch the display and move around it is drawing lines in reversed direction...
so there was only more confusion...
what are your experiences with that device?

If this is the wrong section I apologize. I just picked up the Archos 48 Internet tablet with the DVR station off of the Archos Store. I thought $299 was a good deal with the free dvr station.
First hand reviews. This is my second archos, i used to have the old school 160gb so i am familiar with its defaults and capabilities.
Battery Life - not a huge concern for me, its normally plugged in. But i got a good 5 hours of out of it with wifi on.
Hard drive - 500gb - perfect for the music/video collector
OS - 1.6 - Weird, just weird. It works, and I understand it, but there are some drawbacks, and maybe you folks can help.
1. I installed appslib and the amazon app store(works perfect). However, you can only install apps to the system space, not the hard drive. So there is a limit to having apps on there. Once i got the 3rd angry birds on it, it yelled at me and said no space available. There is 500gb????? Can if be used?
2. Can you put 2.2/froyo or 2.3/GB?
3. Rooting??? Can it be done? Maybe its too new?
Sync - Special usb cable. Looks like you have to use the micro usb that comes with it. If you use a different one, the files will not sort correctly. Sounds funny, but Putting it in hard drive mode is easier/quicker for me. When I used a standard one, the cover art would not list in the Cover's section when searching for music, however all the music is under the Hard Drive section and I could listen to it all and cover art showed. Not a big deal, just weird.
Browser - Works fine, I would like to install a different one, but I am having problems putting the Android App Market on there. Any ideas?
Firmware is the most updated one.
If anyone can help, or lend ideas, please let me know

From what I understand, the Archos 48 IT is sort of a rehash of the Archos 5 IT, which was a Gen 7 device. Any info you can find on the Archos 5 IT should apply. Check out ArchosFans and OpenAOS for more. This section is for Gen 8 devices, so I don't think anything you find here will be very helpful. Good luck!
I can help you a bit i had have the A5IT
1) You cant increase the internal storage (for apps) yet, but the guys from openaos maybe work on that at a costum rom
2) there are some 2.0/2.1 and maybe some 2.2 ports too but they are buggy from my last view i have sold my archos 5, bought a new one you should ask the guys from openaos
3) same answer as in 1) & 2)
Xda isnt for gen7, its for gen8 the best gen7 communitys are archoslounge,archos forum and for the hacking sections (most interesting for you ) openaos
Hi, I currently own an Archos 5 IT.
Looking to upgrade to a bigger tablet (10'').
The Archos 101 is on sale right now over here. Question is, should I just grab the 101 or just wait for 101 G9 to be released?
PS: Can you play games from your Archos 101 and view them on TV via HDMI?
wowowowoowowoww
I GOT A BLUE CAR AT THE MOMENT ? SHOULD I GET A BLACK ONE? WILL IT BE FASTER THEN MY OLD? CAN I SEE PEOPLE IN MY BACKMIRROR THEN?
no offense guy - but did u ever think of:
1. there are about 10 threads about gen9 already....
2. DID U READ ANY OF THEM?
3. How should we help u with your decision if u don't tell what u wanna do with it exactly?
To your only real question: playing "games" over hdmi (even u dont mention gen8 or gen9)
gen8: yes and no - should be possible but there is no screen mirroring on the gen8 101 -> u just see the image on the tv + got a mouse like pointer and 101 as touchpad -> mouse controled games
gen9: they got mirroring as far as i know...
BUT for both is said the display output over hdmi is "lagging" a bit in this scenario - watch some yourtube for seeing it...
By the way, how to scroll the A70IT screen down when using HDMI? When I get into file management, I slide both left and right side of the A70IT but can not scroll down to screen. Is there anything I did wrongly? Thank
Hey XDA!
I've bought an Android Mini PC MK802 IIIS model so I could watch mostly Netflix on my TV, however I have several problems.
First of all, the subtitles from Netflix are just waay too small, i can't even read them from my couch. I've Googled and search on XDA but I couldnt find a solution. Isnt there any way to increase the subtitle size? Or just increase overall size, so you eventually can resize before/after you've watched Netflix..? If any developers are reading this, It'd also be very nice if someone could perhaps edit the apk and increase the size this way..? At least I'd be very thanksful for that.
Second of all, the MK802 is very unstable for me. It keeps crashing the apps, and restarting it self several times pr. hours. It interrupts when I watch movies, when I browse or whatever I'm doing. It gets pretty annoying and I was wondering if it is defect or MK802 mostly are very unstable..?
Anyone else at XDA who has this device and what are your experience with it?
Also, it would be very nice with its very own subforum, but I guess there are too few of us with them, that it is possible..?
Thank you very much! - Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I'm sorry if this isnt the correct place to put this thread, but it was the most obvious place for me at least.

Your netflix works? I have the same unit (I actually have both an mk802II and a mk802IIIs). Mine just sits at the "loading" screen after I make a selection. Another issue I've noticed is ampdroid doesn't seem to work on the mk802IIIs (but works fine on my mk802II).
Overall I'm not having many stability issues, love the mk802IIIs remote off my smartphone using gsensor

hmmm ???
Ok im hoping to at least get some feedback - Im new to the Mini PC thing - and was actually thinking of picking up the rikomagic mk802IIIS or even a Zealz GK802 or mk808B. but im totally confused and wondering about capability. These things look pretty cool... id like to play around with one of these and try to use it as a media server (music, video, secure ftp) which of the following devices would be best suited to this? I know some are easier to root and get linux installed un them but if someone cold point me to a better place to inquire more about the capability of such devices that would be great. At the moment as far as a dual core that can support Ubuntu based distro it would appear that these 2 devices ( mk802 IIIS & MK808B) appear to be the best from a hardware perspective until the rockchip 3166 comes out or a version of linux is able to run on the GK802, but in case i over-looked some other option or what not which of these would be a good fit for a low-power media server?

Well I received a device on ebay A9 dual core 1.6 ghz nice little 8" tablet, but the problem is it is the S version so there are no custom firmwares I could upload to get rid of junk (chinese programs) and well have the thing fully rooted.
So I am wondering is there a general guide on how to root such a tablet, because I need to change the device id (make it look like something that can be compatible with the SIM's freeplay or this tablet is an expensive paper weight. I bought this for My GF and all she wants to do is play the sims. and go on FB. the processor is a nice one for the 109 bucks I spent and I would like to keep this tablet in the long run actually get myself my own.
and also one more annoying thing the keyboard predicts in chinese (at times) and the buttons on the lower corners of the keyboard are in chinese (go enter key and something on the other side).
So wondering if somebody can point me in the right direction on how to root this tablet, and maybe even back-up the device remove the annoying apps and maybe install the standard android english keyboard from the source or something. I need some reading done in order to figure this out. But some sharp pointers to good tutorials, because my google searches are diggin up 4.1.2 and motorola finally rooted right about now.
Any help and pointers would be appreciated

turns out dansplans has a rooting script for the rockchip devices rk3066 rk3188 on another forum look for U23gt and terramir in google and you'll find it if you need it

I have been searching high and low for a way for Android to output via HDMI to a portrait mounted/rotated screen. I have found a few people who've asked the same question in the past - but no threads have real answers.
Back in the days of Galaxy Nexus, there was no 'exploded portrait' where Android just assumes your screen is horizontal/landscape - I have attached 2 files to explain the difference.
The reason is that I have a few retail clients who already have portrait mounted screens (that you see around shopping malls all the time) and I just can't seem to be able to find an Android OS / Driver setting or an Android HDMI stick that already does this. Can anyone help me out here?
