hi guys,
i have had an android phone (not rooted, stock) for a while. I recently brought an android tablet, archos arnova 7c g2 running gingerbread.
i know how to set the security on my phone, the tablet however is a bit more complex. the option to set a security lock is not listed in the settings and i can't find anything on the marketplace that will provide this function.
can anyone help? maybe recommend an app?
also i have been looking at rooting it to see if it unlocks the feature. i am new to android and have no tech/programming knowlege. would it be worth pursuing rooting? or is there another way to secure the device?
i am very happy with the tablet, it does everything i need, i would feel a lot happier if i could secure it in case one of the kids should play with it and lose data.
thanks in advance
jay
You mean you cannot find the option in settings>location and security?

Hello! I have recently bought Trak tPad-7110 E in Lithuania. It comes with Android 4.0.4, Baseband version: 1.4rc3, Kernel version 3.0.8, Build number 20120713-F712.
I am not allowed to post links yet, but if you google the name of the tablet, you'd come to the website which is in polish. google "Trak tPad"
I believe it is manufactured in either China or Poland. When hard resetting, default language is Polish. My question is, Would it be possible to install a fresh android version on it, without the retarded apps this tablet comes with. It is bogged with useless stuff that slows the tablet down, and that is my reason why I really want to install vanilla version of Android.
What version would you recommend installing? Is it even possible? I have not found any information on the internet regarding this tablet.
Thanks in advance!
Bump... Guys, I really need your help!
Come on guys, please!!
Hey, I'm planning to get this tablet, have you managed to root it?

Well, I haven't really tried yet, as I do not have much of knowledge regarding android rooting, but I was looking forward to someone who maybe did that.
About the tablet... Programs stall pretty often, when updating apps, tab is unusable because of the stutter and lag. With no background proccesses running, it is a fine tablet to browse the net, no stutters there or anything. Same goes with apps.

Have become a fond user of Miracast on my tablet recently so was wondering if there were any original Android ROMs that supported it? I have read that no CM/AOSP ROM supports Miracast but apparently there are work arounds? I am currently on the unofficial CM11 that temasek produced and despite having the Cast Screen option in settings I don't think it can find my device to cast to
Never going back to Touchwiz so if anyone knows any simple KitKat ROMs that Miracast works on that would be great
Thanks
Anyone have any help for me?
Anyone help? Would really love an answer or reply, have asked many times in many threads
Hello Everyone,
I am sure you are all aware of the extensive list of bugs and issues that plagues the Amazfit. As of now, there are no real ways to circumvent the issues as Xiaomi/Huami seem reluctant to make any updates or fix the issues and even the PACEfied ROM has a few bugs that carry over from the base firmware.
That leads me to the following question. Since the Amazfit firmware has an android base, would it be possible to port Android Wear to the watch? Android wear should be able to fill the gaps of functionality that effects the device.
wear is not an open source OS, thus, you'll have some major issues of porting.
Unfortunately this is the issue. It would be awesome to have this watch on android wear but as it's closed, it would be at best a while..
On the subject of custom ROMs, would it not be suitable to develop a custom android based ROM?
Wish AW was open source.. people have made ROMs (I'm thinking Ghoma on my LG ages back!) So here's hoping
Maybe build an Android wear-like ROM based on Android with custom app to link with it...?
I think that it is not completely impossible. I know that for Sony 3 smartwatch they did a port of AW ver.2 from other AW smartwatch. So the port should be possible as the AW is out there.
Any way we can actually work on this? Tips? I would love to help.

Maybe build a ROM based on Android and the UI is similar to Android Wear?
This actually would be awesome!
Its possible to install AsteroidOS on amazfit watch? And google upload some part of Android Wear code to AOSP project.
you're asking or telling?
that would be good
just bad i dont realy know how to port roms
Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP
Hello
me too

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
