I got my ARCHOS 70 today and realized there is no XDA forum for it. We definitely need one for all the ARCHOS generation 8 devices!

Froyo is coming before the end of the month and we'll need root, Android Market apk and other tweaks for it.

Awesome device btw, but the screen could be a bit more sensitive and higher-res, plus it is a bit sluggish some times (hopefully fixed with Froyo!). Great value for the price! (~290€ inc protective case and FedEx shipping)
[Gen8 General] anotherdroid:
bump for Archos forum. let's do this.
[Gen8 General] xguntherc:
Ya the Guy that mentioned poor build quality probably only has used an old old archos device. The new Archos gen8 line have a very durable build quality and use a lightweight metal and aluminium frame on the inside and on the motherboard to keep it tight and sturdy. These new ones should feel great in hand..

I've heard good things, and I agree the captivate has poor build quality. But I still firmly believe my Nexus One is one of the best and Most attractive pieces of hardware. Most phones don't compare to the N1s body. You really think the 101 matches or beats it.

Mine will be here tomorrow morning and I will report back. I had the G-Tablet, it got its own section after the main thread got to about 250 pages. Let this new Archos line start reaching our community n it should hopefully get a section for us. It needs it
[Gen8 General] qipengart:
Just picked up the Archos 7" Internet Home Tablet and hacked the Market onto it.
[Gen8 General] xguntherc:
My Archos 101 just arrived.. Can we please get a section for it.

First stop, gapps4archos and then some temp root probably.. I'm exited. I'm enjoying this device so far already
[Gen8 General] MoxFulder_CH:

i want an archos forum here too,xda would be a so much better place for the archos people
[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
+1 for archos section. They already have veiwsonic G and galaxy tablet, why not.
[Gen8 General] rebugger:
+1 because i own a Archos 10.1 tablet
[Gen8 General] digibucc:
have my 70it in hand, came straight to XDA to see it lacking any real info - total surprise.

this site was a godsend when i got my Evo and I just figured it would already be decked out with a section for archos gen 8.

second the motion for sure - surprised it isn't already here,
[Gen8 General] Harfainx:
You know you don't have to be a member there.

I would definitely like a section here dedicated to Archos devices, but not because of reasons outlined by Anotherdroid. Kind of rude of you actually to say that.
[Gen8 General] anotherdroid:
aren't you the guy that yelled at me and called me a scammer because i posted a picture of my screenshot? you idiot...

it's not rude. what was rude was how you treated me on my first post over at archosfans.com. in fact, let's revisit it:

http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=40569

i came in, happy as can be to be a part of the archos community and you immediately **** all over me. and why? who the **** knows. because you're some sort of pompous **** who thinks every one who comes in after you is a newbie.

so, i have been nothing but productive and helpful to everyone over at archosfans. don't you dare make me seem like some asshole. it's members like you who think because they have over 10 posts, you own the forum and everyone new is untrustworthy and out to ruin your life.

don't talk to me like i'm some schoolkid that took a **** in your lunch bag and threw it on the merrygoround. i ****ing contribute to not only XDA and archosfans routinely and i do it with a smile and i expect nothing in return.

you don't believe me? look at all my posts on archosfans and then look at all my posts here on XDA. do it, you insensitive ****. do it. i'm the friendliest mother ****er you know.
[Gen8 General] digibucc:
I ****ing LOVE YOU! not in a gay way either ;) funny as **** dude

and i like your themes :)
[Gen8 General] MinionOfEckerd:
+1! FroYo released yesterday but I'm holding back until we get some extra support. Adding a section here would help a lot.
[Gen8 General] needabottle:
Count me in for an Archos section.....oh and I agree about the Archosfans site...... dude that runs it hyped Froyo with his video but looks like he never actually tested the damn thing. Upgraded yesterday and its a bag of spanners with no way to downgrade (upgrade) to 2.1.
[Gen8 General] digibucc:
bag of spanners? idk what that means.

I've got froyo working well, with market, flash, etc.

though i do agree archosfans is a mess of a site, it's the only one available in english that's any good. XDA could do soo much better.
[Gen8 General] svetius:
Ok, your voices have been heard, and we'll add Archos. But which one? We can't add for the 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 inch sizes. Which is the most popular? Probably the 7 or 10, yes?
[Gen8 General] Thomazzanten:
Indeed, the 7 and 10 inch are the most popular devices atm.

Great to hear, thanks!
[Gen8 General] Lord Bodak:
The 70 and 101 are effectively the same device with different screens, so that seems like the logical choice if you have to limit it. However, why not just make it an "Archos Gen8" section that covers it all?
[Gen8 General] dancnpete:
planning on getting one of these while the 256mb ram is a knock compared to others like the nook, nothing has the port options this thing has which could greatly improve its appeal so here here on a section for gen8 devices
[Gen8 General] laptopfreek0:
YAY!!

So glad to hear we are getting an archos section! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
[Gen8 General] ardatdat:
I think the initial make-up can be "Archos section" no matter 2,3,4,7,10.

Well, yes, 7 & 10 are more popular now, so, maybe 7 & 10 are in the same sub-section, while others are in another sub-section?

Thanks for your help and as a kernel developer, getting a Nexus One and Archos 70IT on hand, I really want to have an Archos section. :D

Great job!
[Gen8 General] svetius:
I think it's best to have an overall Gen8 section. Then, users can break threads down into various models if need be.
[Gen8 General] Cthugha:
Yes, for the generation 8 "internet tablet" Android devices please. That includes models 28, 32, 43, 70 and 101.

http://www.archos.com/products/ta/index.html

GREAT news btw!! :D
[Gen8 General] xguntherc:
Just make an Archos Section. Then we will have a Gen 8 section as the Gen8 Archos are the 32,43,70,101 are all very similar. All are Gen8 and all use the same Firmware and everything. We just got Froyo and it was the same update for ALL of them. So yea! Does that help?
[Gen8 General] spanish_man:
Yes Archos Gen8 it's ok :)

Very good news :D
[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
The Archos "Gen8" series all use the same firmware so there isn't a need for individual forums.

Archos Gen8: Archos 28, 32, 43, 70 and 101 Devices
[Gen8 General] davemon:
Probably the 7....
[Gen8 General] blue blue man:
+1. It would be great if we have Archos section here on XDA. I have an Archos 70. I guess A70 and 101 are the most common models.
[Gen8 General] ViPaSoft:
Yes I have an Archos 70 IT and would love a seperate thread.

I have also been on here for a while and appreciate all the work you've all done, keep it up.

Great news indeed.

Got my Samsung Galaxy S..... XDA was the first place I headed to. Upgraded to Froyo thanks to the hack found here. Next it was root and lag fix found here. If the gurus and rom cookers here can do for the Archos Gen 8 what they have done for virtually everything else they have touched then the Archos 70 and 101 should really fly.
[Gen8 General] theyownus:

[Gen8 General] smjfosho:
Can't wait for the new forum. Ill hopefully be getting either the 70 or the 101 for christmas, and am very excited.

101 and 70 are identical!!!! just different screen size
[Gen8 General] Powershot:
Agree with the new forum - part for archos gen8 devices...

need a way to downgrade from froyo to eclair........

so please hurry up
[Gen8 General] JasonOT:
I believe they're all running the same firmware, so a single general section would be a lot better.

Part of the problem (IMO) w/ Archosfans is that there's too many different forums with all the same questions and answers going on.
[Gen8 General] supagforce:
Totally agree with this, you find yourself having to flick through each section to find answers, maybe you should set it as "Gen8" and "Others" Others being archos 5,7 etc
[Gen8 General] TempestDK:
Start the tablet in recovery mode and select format device ... :)

That should do it. But you lose all data on the internal memory.

Also perm root and other tweaks should be possible.

[Gen8 General] equalness:
7 and 10 thats right ! and thank you so much !!
[Gen8 General] amdchip:
Yes please add a section for the 70 and the 10 the two devices have almost identical hardware
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
This is my first post, and it's on this particular thread because I love my Archos 70 (aka A70).

I am very happy that you guys are gonna add a section for Archos, But I think you should have an A70/101 section and a second section for all of the smaller screens because the two larger screens are the only ones with capacitive touchscreens. The rest are resistive (albeit very responsive).

As for those criticizing the Archosfans.com forum, I think it's pretty crappy for you to do so. When I wanted info on the upcoming Archos Gen8 products, there was virtually no other site with any useful info. Yes, the Admin is VERY VERY VERY high on Archos products, i'll admit that (in his Youtube vids you can almost hear the adoration in his voice). But to be honest, now that I have my A70, I can understand why. This device is one of the most well made I have ever held in my hands. And once the device gets rooted, it's gonna be so frickin OP you wouldn't believe it.

So just lay off Charbax. He did a service to a lot of people by creating that site. People who would otherwise have been stuck paying exorbitant prices and data plans for and iPad or Galaxy Tab.
[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
what do you mean it died? They hang sometimes, just like all gadgets. Did you do the long power press(5-10sec) to shut it down?
[Gen8 General] JustinL42:
This is great! Own an Archos 70 here. Have been a huge fan of the forums and developers here since I got my Hero. This is great news for Archos owners.

JustinL42
[Gen8 General] mbeardyc:
I would say the 101 and maybe have a sub-furom for issues specifically for the 70.
[Gen8 General] twospirits:
Very good point. Eventually as posts increase and the need arises I'm sure the admins here will add more sections if need be.

I agree.

There is no need for anyone to be downplaying any other forum or attacking any member such as what happen on page 8. Its basically the same with any phone represented on xda that also has its own specific forum elsewhere. The both serve their purpose, and that is to provide the owner with the best resources available to further enhance their device. Now lets stop the attacks and get on with continuing the input and requests for the admins.

[Gen8 General] Hexidecimal:
Is there a time frame for when this new forum is going to go live?
[Gen8 General] gurry:
Hows about an archos forum with sub forums for the individual devices?

I have a 5it and would hate for it to get over looked. The froyo port work will be on hold for older androids while archos work on the the newer models.

Openaos have done some great work porting froyo. But I haven't gotten round yo updating as it's a little unstable.
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
Trust me, if you don't already have a tablet, you should seriously consider either the A70 or A101. I have the A70 and I am very satisfied. Though once there is a permanent root, it will be even better. There is only a temporary root via z4root right now, but with a forum on XDA, that will be remedied very quickly I think. :)
[Gen8 General] opendave:
+1 for an Archos section too.

I would suggest an Archos-Gen 8. That covers the latest line of tablets.
[Gen8 General] qipengart:
I would love to get one of those Gen 8 Archos 28 mp3 players to play with. Where to find one?
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
All of the smaller Gen8 devices are currently available on the Archos.com website. Just click on "Store" and select the device you want from the drop down menu at the top.
[Gen8 General] addicus:
I am confused. Archos says the A70 & A10 are running Android 2.2 and play flash. Doesn't that mean they come with Froyo?

-

@Techngro - Where are you able to play with one hands on? All the internet stores U see say you have to preorder or they are backlogged? Since I'm in Cali, do you know of a big chain carrying them?
[Gen8 General] smartcedie:
@addicus - they currently come with eclair with a firmware update already out that'll make it froyo. it does not have flash yet though because of some archos-adobe certification process. thing is, a lot of people have been experiencing problems with the current froyo build. I personally choose to wait for the next stable firmware release before upgrading. I'm happy with my 43 as is with eclair.

as for the thread, I'd suggest a Gen8 forum with a 28/32/43 subforum and another one for 70/101.
[Gen8 General] digibucc:
Happy with the froyo update myself. A70. Only issue for me is shoddy flash. Available but as you said adobe cert proc.
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
I already have my Archos 70 internet tablet. I bought it from Archos' website directly. I knew that they weren't gonna get them out to retail stores fast enough. I think that retailers are just now starting to get theirs now.

But they are selling very fast. Archos can't even keep them in stock (the A70 and A101)

In Cali, you're probably looking at either Frys or Best Buy as your options. But you really should just buy it direct from Archos or you may be waiting quite a while for them to get it in stock.

You can install Flash and it works with Froyo on the Gen8 devices, but it can't be updated in the Market for some reason. I installed and tested by playing Youtube vids directly from the full Youtube site. It was a little choppy. It still needs some work on Archos' part I think.
[Gen8 General] pfarrelliv:
yes, please!

+1 on an archos specific forum with subforums for individual devices (have a A101 on the way!).
[Gen8 General] cpg716:
Yeah, Android 2.2(Froyo) is working great for me also. My device runs smoother then it did with the 2.1 firmware. People are upset that Quadrant scoring hasn't increased with the 2.2 update but Archos is saying it is a bug and they have fixed it internally.

CPG

MyTabletLife.com for all your tablet news.
[Gen8 General] digibucc:
@techngro -

yes, archos has already announced there will be an update for flash for their devices that is not choppy like the g4archos/market one.

if you remove the existing one from g4archos then you can update through market.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmhecker:
I have grown very fond of the Sense UI, as a lot of people here have. But, one thing that I HATE with a passion is the contacts and dialer that Sense uses. I love the dialer that is used in the non-Sense builds, which if memory serves is just the AOSP dialer (or perhaps its the one by wysie).

Anyways, my question is this: Is there any way for me to get the AOSP/Wysie contacts and dialer onto a Sense build? I have tried the basic things of pushing the APKs over via adb, or trying to install them via adb, etc. It all fails.

I know this has been posted once before, but thought that perhaps since the time it was last posted that maybe someone has come up with an idea or two.

Any suggestions, or am I SOL?
[General Questions and Answers] Strifer116:
Hi,

The Android OS has some amazing emulators. the PSX is here and soon will be a N64

*Link will come once new user restriction is removed so people can sign the petition*

If one looks at the PSP and Open Pandora scene you will notice that there is a Sega saturn emulator available on PSP and a Sega Dreamcast for the Open Pandora

Currently a Sega Saturn emulator could run on Android phones. A Dreamcast may or may not be possible until future hardware upgrades. Android phones update thier hardware much more frequently than Open Pandora and the PSP so developers can bring high end emulators to the Android operating system sooner.

The key benefits to developers with the Android Platform vs the Open Pandora or PSP platforms are

1: The Developers can actually sell the emulator's and make quite a nice bit of profit (optional)

2. Android reaches a far larger amount of users than the Open Pandora and PSP

3. Android phones are much more portable than Open Pandora and PSP

If you feel that our Android phones deserve more attention than the PSP and/or the Open Pandora please say yes to this Poll. Hopefully we can get enough people to post so we can see a working Sega Saturn/ Dreamcast emulator here in the future

Sincerely,
[General Questions and Answers] bongd:

If someone could get it working on a PSP Slim then they can do it on Android.

There is an emulator here yabause use (.org) This was already ported to the PSP

the PSP runs off of Linux so any dev who could get the source from that project would have a huge head start to port it to Android.

Then he can just use the same type of interface Yongzh and Zodttd do on their emulators and a lot of the leg work is done.

All that is really left is upping the compatibility and tweaking things.

From what i understand (very little) the PSP Slim runs off Linux as does Android at its core so it would not be such a long shot.

The Dreamcast is actually much easier to emulate as well which is why it is on the Open Pandora and the Sega Saturn is not.

The thing is if they would just direct their work to android the Open Pandora would be outdated. Why lug that around when you can have it on your phone?
