The Vega is a sweet device if you can get it.

I actually read that 2.2 will be dropping very soon. Many users have been testing it and say it works great, no releae news yet though from Archos. But it says End of November on site.

I also read they've INREASED THE APP STORAGE.. Android 2.2 they will allow for full use of the Internal Storage. I'm not sure if that is shared with Media, or if the internal will be all for apps, and the MicroSD slot will be media or what, but a few users on Archos forums reported that there was no longer app storage issues on 2.2

thats big news for us
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
Which would you say was the better device? The price is basically the same, but the Vega appears to have much better hardware. I'm not sure I like the soft-buttons much on the Vega (on the top) but then having them on the side like the Archos doesn't seem to be much better.

I'm leaning towards the Vega for now, dual core and 512mb of RAM just sounds like it will have more capability to me, but then again I have been looking at the archos for a long time and I really had my heart set on one :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dijitalm:
Archos 101 is in the mail for me, but I've played with one and fell in love with it. The thing is, I knew going into the 'tab war' that something better will be coming out eventually so when that happens I may just sell the Archos and get the next best thing.

Remember though, most of these devices are running Android which means that eventually you will be able to load custom roms and all the things you can do with your Android phones - but since not everyone has the device yet (Archos) there won't be many dev's working on it yet. I say give it some time and more than likely a lot of the negatives issues you see (mostly lag) will go away.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
I would really like to go somewhere to test these things, no idea where would stock display examples for me to play with though!

I don't mind helping out with getting Clockwork Recovery on the tablet.

If your tablet is rooted, please do the rest.

Using terminal on tablet or adb shell on pc

cat /proc/mtd

then based on that change the # to what it should be

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096

Then zip/rar those img files and upload to sendspace or mediafire and post here.

Version 2.0.54 - Android "Froyo" 2.2.1 - November 30th, 2010

http://update.archos.com/8/gen8/changes_firmware_archos_android_gen8.htm

OTA not available yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] monkeydrufy:
Hi guys,

I've just ordered the 70 it 8gb

It will come with froyo 2.2? if not How can I install it?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saayinla:
You can download the Froyo file it is available on Archos's website , copy the aos file to the root of your device , disconnect the USB cable and then you get a prompt to apply the update then off you go.

Am i stupid or what?

I can't get adb to work with the Archos 70 neither Win XP, Win7 32 nor Ubuntu Linux...

Any suggestions?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
Holy crap! They made good on their promise to bring 2.2 to the 101 before Christmas then!? How is the performance? Any noticabe improvements? Can someone post a video with some flash tests? I still need to decide between this and the Advent Vega!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thefunkygibbon:
archos seem to have made some boo-boo's with this rom

1) lots of user complaining about SMB browsing being broken

2) ditto for wifi

3) ditto for subtitles in videos

4) they've enforced the requirement to purchase an additional $40 plugin to be able to watch videos with ac3 audio (wasnt enforced on previous rom)

and the kicker... there doesnt seem to be a way of downgrading the rom back to the old version which didnt suffer all these problems.

I'm fecked if i'm paying extra $ to them to play ac3 as much as i need it.

heres hoping for root and custom roms asap :)

:oh and they didnt include flash...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hexidecimal:
Yeah this rom is pretty broken. Many apps no longer work, general performance is much slower, can't hack market in ATM. (hopefully fixed soon). God someone root this thing. We needs moar romz!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
Yikes! Mixed reports! It isn't looking good :( Media streaming from the PC out of the box was one of the HUGE pulls for me with this device, if that's broken then no sale :(

Have they rushed this update out? Or are these a few isolated cases?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberfux:
I can confirm that!

TweetDeck - that even works on any other Android device of mine - don't work, some Apps that are "shipped" with the Archos 70 hang up randomly, can't connect to my mobile phone via bluetooth (Tether) any more which was possible with eclair etc.

my viewing angles are horrible!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberfux:
Had it also on first try, did a hard reset (10 secs powerbutton) and afterwards it installed without a problem...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ggrant3876:
I did the 2.2 OTA and it was slow and laggy so I reformatted all my partitions through the 101 recovery and reinstalled the update manually - now things have gotten alot faster and smoother. I followed the instructions from ArchosFans.com.

To enter into recovery mode.. as soon as you begin powering up your archos, hold down power and volume up. Once the archos splash screen comes on, let go of the power and keep holding volume up until you enter the white recovery screen.

Reformat the device - to toggle between options you will use the volume switch and power button (I was trying to touch it for a good 2 minutes)

Installing aos over usb - This is where I was having trouble. "over usb" means connect a USB cable to your computer. You need to click on firmware update and this will mount the device onto your computer (open a folder). You just need to drag and drop the aos file into the folder, and then click ok on the archos.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thefunkygibbon:
slow and laggy or not. it still doesnt fix the fact loads of essential things are pretty borked. no longer able to use ext3 which is confirmed as something they know about (as is the subtitles)

Archos typically arrogant have yet to even comment on the other things or even about a ETA for new fixed version.

Protected Apps not showing in the Market Place

So my frustration with my 101 is near epic at the moment. I was looking forward to 2.2 so much and I have been lucky in that performance has been better but I have don't the complete format, wipe and clean rom load on mine.

But I started the task of reloading apps onto the unit and I was noticing a lot were not showing up in searches, including one that I had purchased. Come to find out I learn that the market place will not work on anything that isn't signed....

Ok so I find this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687371

And I see there is probably a way to work around this issue. But since this is a tablet and not a phone, I don't have a dailer on it.

So can anyone out there assist in fixing this so I can use the apps I have paid for, please and thanks.

ARCHOS 101 alternative Rom

Hi all

Yet archos released froyo for the 101 IT i'd like to know if anyone of the xda team should be interested in working on this product?

They froyo version is a pity, and personnaly I think i would be ok to support (€)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nimrodity:
If I would get a froyo even a little bit like that I have seen for the desire, I would be more than happy to support the developer.

I just want a fast, stable and clean froyo nothing more.I don't think that is asked too much.

I also think that the developers here are more capable achieving that goal than archos itself

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] divinityman:
I have searched all of xda-developers and not found anything so I am just wondering is there any custom ROM for the Archos 101 that does not require you to multi boot. While I can get the gapps installer to work on the stock and rooted stock rom, when I enter the custom rom, cmmod7. the market does not work. To be more accurate I can install the market, vending.apk, but googleservicesframework.apk does not install it keeps giving me a app not installed error. I have tried using the gapps installer on the custom ROM to no avail. So I guess I actually have two questions.

1. Is there any way to run a custom ROM on the gen 8 Archos 101 without using open aos multi boot

2. Is there any custom ROM that will have the Android market, or allow me to install the Android market on the custom ROM.

Thanking you for any suggestions.
