something I have been running... it is similar to a "gingerbread" look and includes the gingerbread keyboard.

This theme actually has a clearbar rather than a blackbar...if you use a live wallpaper it will show up as clear and black if you use a gallery picture for a background

It seems that the Desire HD won't be supported, but I hope that list is not final.

Maybe they just forgot about the Desire HD??
[Desire HD General] Love_Velvet:
I wouldn't read too much into that list. They tend to be US phones, and as the DHD doesn't work (fully) in the US they're not really interested in it.
[Desire HD General] topcaser:
The Desire (no HD version) is not on the list since it dont supports true multi-touch. Why is multi touch needed for some features??

[Gen8 General] fzelle:
You two realise that you can't just use a PC version of gcc to compile an arm version of sw?

You need the crosscompile toolchain to do this, and than its working correctly.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
the toolchain is inside the xxx.tgz archive and it is used for building. no need for extra toolchain
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
But laptopfeak is using something that does:

Target: i686-linux-gnu
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
wrong. he just typed gcc -v in his shell. this uses of course his very own gcc and not the one served by the archos toolchain.

when I type gcc -v using the archos toolchain it looks like this:

the toolchain builds the crosscompiler itself and then starts crosscompiling :)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
I installed a fresh ubuntu 10.10 into a virtual machine and installed the packages mentioned on this website: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=Compiling_gen7-gpl

currently building.. stay tuned.. ;)

edit: still buggy :mad:
[Gen8 General] laptopfreek0:
Finally got it to compile thanks to jensbln:

According to him you have to: "disable gdb in /buildroot/local/g8_arm/g8_arm.config"

So I poked around in the g8_arm.config and found the gdb. I then set all instances of gdb to n instead of y. I then had to sudo make, because I was getting permission demied. After that it compiled fine.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
Let's see if this works for me too... :)

edit: failed on the x64 machine.. not that surprisingly as others had problems too. testing on x32..
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
damn, its not working (failed because of missing symlinks to libmpfr.so.1)..

edit: ahh.. it seems that i missed this dependency: libmpfr1ldbl

edit2: yes, this was the missing dependency.

using a fresh ubuntu 10.10 x32, to compile the froyo gpl sources install these packages:

# apt-get install flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl automake autoconf libtool gettext texinfo libmpfr1ldbl

edit3: make menuconfig does work too

# cd gen8-gpl-froyo/linux
# cp linux.config .config
# make oldconfig
# make menuconfig
[Gen8 General] _nz_:
you are not supposed to use "make menuconfig" :)

just type "make" in the buildroot folder and it will build the kernel and buildroot packages that are in gen8 units...
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@_nz_ you're late, see my last post.

btw: yes I'm supposed to use make menuconfig when I want to change kernel settings without changing the kernel config file manually ;)
[Gen8 General] _nz_:
sure. I was referring more to make menuconfig in buildroot which is not used during our SW development, so it's not really "supported" and might be broken. All our configs are hardcoded :)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
it's not used inside buildroot, I use it inside linux :confused:

btw: do you work at archos?
[Gen8 General] blazingwolf:
Assuming it is the same nz that posts at archosfans then yes he/she is an Archos employee.
[Gen8 General] _nz_:
yes, we are :)
[Gen8 General] needabottle:
Hey -nz- I posted this on the Archos Fans forum in response to an answer to my question; why can't we reflash to 2.1. You probably didn't see it......what do you say?

Thanks for the reply about the bootloader. Again ignorance on my part. Surely Archos could release a patch that would allow the bootloader to install any version of the OS? I mean its all just code going into a certain memory address. I have a hard time with companies like Archos who seem to make things difficult for owners. I can see Apple doing it because they really are the 800 pound gorilla in the corner but the Dev Team and smart guys have always found a way round what they do. Archos are a relatively small fish in the pond. The tablet scene is moving very fast and new tablets are coming out every day.

It reminds me of the Pandigital novel. We pleaded with Pandigital to give us the source code. They said they would but never did. The smart guys were able to do wonders with what they had but ultimately within 3 months people had given up and moved on. Once the smart guys were gone all development stopped and now the PDN is just a mostly forgotten memory. If Pandigital had of opened up, the word of mouth would have spread, people would have bought their reader, hacked it and they would have both sold more and got the hearts and minds (and money) of people who would have considered any product they brought out. Now they are pretty much dead in the water and will likely just stay selling photo frames. People and technology has passed them by.

I won't say the same will happen to Archos. They are a bigger fish but they seem to have generated a lot of ill will over the 2.2 release. Even all those who were trumpeting how wonderful 2.2 was going to be have slunk away. Apple will bring out a new iPad next year. The price of the present one is dropping and will continue to do so. Say what you like about the iPad, but it works and it works well. It's too big and I'll probably sell mine again in a month or so depending on what comes out next in the 7 to 8 inch form factor.

Archos have the opportunity to buck the trend and open their software up and let people make it fly. There are some really sharp, switched on guys out there and if given the encouragement and support by Archos, they could do wonders. How cool would it be for Archos to be known as the one company that actually helped and supported its customers. The hardware is all there, the software is lacking but it is easier to make something better if it is only the software that is holding back the hardware.

So come on Mr Archos, if you are reading this, do some deep thinking. Be the tablet company of the people. Lets see some liberté, égalité, fraternité.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@needabottle i think SDE is going to be a good solution, saving archos from patent trolls (drm keys get erased) and customers (devs and users) from bricking their tablets with broken custom roms. what do you think?
[Gen8 General] needabottle:
What I think is; Archos are in business to make money. Bottom line they need to make a product that is good, affordable, does what it says on the box and get it in distribution channels where people can actually buy it.

From what I have seen of the 70IT and 101It (and I have 2 of the 70IT, one for me and one for the wife). It basically will do what it says on the box, but not at the minute. It isn't readily available. Getting easier now, but in the US people can walk into Best Buy and buy a Huawei 7 or other tablets. I have 2 friends in the UK who bought into the hype and still haven't got the 101s they were looking for. They will now likely go for the Dixon's tablet. There has been bad "press" about the 2.2 upgrade and I'm just thinking that because things are moving pretty fast, Archos will lose the chance to get the word out that they are a contender for people's money.

If I was in Archos's shoes I'd be using whatever resources I could to get a stable 2.2 out and maybe even working on a 2.3. I don't know how many people they employ in software development but there are a shedload of people in the XDA community who would rise to the challenge to making an Archos ROM. With proper tools and support the chances of bricking are minimised. Bricking happens when people have to find backdoors round protections systems or hack their way in. If Archos released completely open accessible ROM and bootloader code to the guys here and then verified cooked ROMs everyone wins. They take the best that XDA has to offer and make an official, fast, and stable ROM. Their development time gets shrunk and they are seen as being a pretty cool company.

There are not many people here on the Archos forum part of XDA. The smart guys will hammer away at what they have and if they hit too many roadblocks they will give up. The forum will not grow or mature and end up a winge fest of .. this doesn't work and why cant Archos...... you know how it goes.

If you see an opportunity, you grab it and Archos have a great opportunity here to address past mistakes and be a real game changer. I don't see why they wouldn't.
[Gen8 General] blazingwolf:
I find it interesting to see how quickly people are ready to condemn instead of waiting a little bit to see what will happen. If nothing happens then ***** and complain but don't start before it actually happens. :rolleyes:
[Gen8 General] needabottle:
I'm not condemning. far from it, I'm trying to encourage Archos to help the smart guys here. Assuming you are the same blazingwolf from the PDN forum you will know exactly what happened when people like Roebeet left. How many new ROMs have been made? How many people are buying PDNs now? Look at the Cruz reader and tablet. I wouldn't exactly think those guys will be in business in 6 months time.

When I look at what happened to the Archos 70IT and 101IT I see them being over hyped by the Charbax guy who was probably somewhat economical with the truth over the 2.2 betas which just fed the hunger for Froyo by everyone who bought into... well, it's 2.2 it has JIT, it is up to 5 times faster and we want it now.... Archos undoubtedly released 2.2 early partially due to promises made and the hype created for it. Unfortunately it was a bit of a bust. If it was so good then why are they still shipping tablets with 2.1.

There has been little in the way of marketing for Archos that I can see but it was the same for the Viewsonic G tablet. I'd never even heard of it until Roebeet got one. Look how that community is thriving and how they turned a crappy OS round in pretty short time. I'd say everyone here would want the same.

Nope, I'm not here to condemn. I came to praise Caesar, not bury him.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
please read this and this and tell me what is the problem with it? why doesn't fit SDE into your point of view?

we simply have to wait again
[Gen8 General] needabottle:
Ok youve got me. What is an SDE? Software development environment? Just a guess at what it stands for from what i read in your links. Im assuming it is being released by Archos and will allow the smart guys to develop / modify ROMs. If this is correct then thank you Mr Archos. Is it what mere mortals like me would need to use to load up those new ROMs and install them on my 70IT?

It sounds like when it is released we should see some action on the development front which is great. I can wait.. Ive been playing with both the 70IT and iPad and to be very honest the Archos holds up pretty well indeed. The screen resolution is worse especially for small text but the size and weight is an advantage
[Gen8 General] MoonPhantasm:
SDE is actually for development... So, using it might mean losing your access to DRM media contents (based on last gen info), and warranty. It'll let us install other OS in there though, and give us full access to the OS.

I can't wait for it.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
Absolutely correct ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajolishot:
So, I've read a lot of threads and looked at other people's Evo configurations and haven't found one like this:

Hardware = 004

Software = 3.29.651.5

Hboot = 0.97

Baseband = 2.15.00.09.01

Based on the hboot and software, I should be able to use unrevoked3, but I'm hesitating a bit because of the 004 hardware.

Anyone out there with this setup and rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That is really weird. I always thought the 004 EVOs had a different camera and needed different software because of it. The good news is, unrevoked should work fine because of your software and hboot version, but I definitely understand your reluctance to try it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Please keep us updated if you do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenboh:
I have the exact same hardware, software, and baseband versions. Not sure how to check the Hboot version. Bought my phone about 1 month ago. It does seem like most people with 004 hardware have 3.30 software.

I was able to root using unrevoked3 with no problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenboh:
I just checked it and I also have Hboot 0.97. So all of my versions match yours. Looks like you should be able to root just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohoy:
i wish my phone would come with hboot 0.97 then i could use unrevoked 3.2 to root my phone by now. still waitin for unrevoked 3.3 to be released

my white evo made in oct 2010

hardware 003

hboot 2.02

software 3.30

rest are the same as everyone else's

by the way, i read somewhere that a newer type of screen being used now on newer evo ? i got touch panel - atmelc03_16ac

is that new or old ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajolishot:
thanks everyone for validating that unrevoked3 will work.

it is odd..if 3.30.x is the newest software, and we have 3.29.x, why won't the htc/firmware update find the newer build to download? undocumented feature :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] pda_crazy:
Hi guys,

what is the best task manager/killer app for galaxy tab?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ashvsaod:
None. Why do you need averting more than the samsung provided one? I haven't seen any need to kill apps on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Croak:
Task killers are the devil. Don't use them. They haven't been needed since Android 2.0

If you need to kill an app, use the Task Manger that comes with the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] pda_crazy:
Thanks guys for the advice.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cramjammer:
Quick question...because I'm confused and curious as well about Task Killers...why would devs and users alike think Task Killers are so bad if GB 2.3 includes an enhanced Task Killer for managing apps, seeing which apps take up memory, and kill battery life? The SGT including one as well. What gives?

All of the things listed above seem like a good reason to me, right? Again, I just want to understand that's all.

Thanks for teaching.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Some Task Killers (TK) are quite extensive in that they willl allow you to close down all manner of objects, Apps, etc. It is these TK's that are risky or should be treated with care.

However, the one provided on the Tab and alike are designed to only show running Apps and services that it feels you can stop if you so wish without causing any effect to the Tab's running.

I use both the built in TK and a third-party named SystemPanel.

If you look at both you will see that although the built in TK does it's job it is nowhere near as fierce as SystemPanel.

Again, provided you know what you are doing TK's such as SystemPanel can be of benefit. I use mine for a great number of tasks including obtaining detailed information of any App or object running to see how much of the processor it has been using, or Archiving any App prior to upgrading the App (just in case the updated App has issues I can then easily use the archive).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cramjammer:
That's too funny...System Panel is the one I've been using for a while now. I like how it will give you MANY details about system apps as well as a ton of others information, makes me feel better!

Thanks for taking the time to share, much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
Yep. See this post for a partial explanation:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9681544&postcount=21
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
The only time you need a task manager is if you have a rogue app that won't exit and which is taking up the CPU. The SGT seems to be pretty good at killing such apps but I've had a couple of old programs with problems. (They have the same issue on my N1, so not surprising).

I've got OSMonitor installed anyway so I can check things, I just use that when I need to kill a "stuck" app, or if I really aren't too fussed I just reboot with QuickBoot.
