Hi all, my name is jazux and I'm thinking of buying archos 70 IT. Now I got few questions 1. Is there android 2.3 uptade for A70IT? 2. Can this tablet dualboot (like hd2 can)? 3. When you play games like angry birds, raging thunder 2 and Dillo hills does it lag even a little bit? 4. Does the device break easily? 5. Is a70IT going to get any more android uptades? 6. How do you flash ROMs on this tablet? Odin, uptade.zip 7. Should I by a70 or a101? Thanx in advance

Ok so when you say there will be future android uptades is this going to get 2.4, 3.0 or 2.3.3 uptade and where is this information from? Also why is 101 better? I fought they had identical specs (except screen)
Oh and this tablet has dedicated GPU?
Btw, can't thank you because I'm on my phone

There are not much differences with A70 and A101, but the A101 has more fixes than the A70 (i think i rode) because its a "newer" version off the A70.

This is just a rumors thread Offical there won't be updates to Android Versione over 2.2.
But i think there will be urukdroid versions with 2.4 or 3.1 And maybe we're getting cyanogen to run (search here on xda)

Peoples wrote here why they bought an Archos Tablet.
This should help you
You can post you questions to me here, but i'll response them at first on sunday, i go away over weekend
I purchased and Archos 7 for my son this past Christmas and I really considered it a great purchase until.... We bought a Nook Color a couple of months ago. Much larger developer support network. Cyanogen 7 runs great on the Nook Color. Nook Color feels more substantially constructed than the Archos. Cost is almost identical, we picked ours up for $200 from the BN EBay store when they had a big push a couple of months ago.
i'd suggest getting a nook color instead. it's sturdier, better screen and cheaper. lots of active dev going on with it too.
the archos shines in the multimedia playback dpt though. it'll play all kinds of files and has very good sound quality. however, it's screen isn't very good - the 101 is even worse, almost as bad as the gtablet's screen.
the 70 i had and the 101 i have lock up a lot when doing more than 1 thing or trying to do things too fast, like multitab browsing. the 256MB of RAM limits your performance. the nook has 512.
so it all depends on what you want. a 7" tablet, go for the nook color (or galaxy tab wifi - it's hardware is the same as the nook's, the 3g has better hardware). for a multimedia powerhouse, the archos is better; the galaxy tab is almost as good.
I want to use my tablet mostly for gaming, i mean like games that requires high end devices and music and a little movies maybe, but nook has only 800mzh cpu... so is it good to play games?

And if i decide to buy archos i will make my own custom ROM based on android 2.2 would people like that or does everyone use urukdroid?

I just sold my archos 101, I highly reccommend you to not get the archos..altough games were "payable" it had some issues and lags
get a honeycomb tablet, the most inexpensive (and hard to find) is the asus transformer..which is only US $400
I use urukdroid atm because its the best and i test things with lenn for $auron , but if honeycomb for android is coming i take it then (i think) ;-)
This was a very good tablet for its price 6 months ago. It is now still good, but if you can get the transformer with Honeycomb with only 100 $ more... just do it.
In any case I have a very good experience with the 101. It does sometimes have some lag, but I wouldn't say that the device is overall slow, it's just OK. Raging Thunder is perfect. Most games I have tried also run smooth (except Fruit Ninja which lags), but I don't really use many resource hungry games.
Having more ROMs developed is always good in any case.
Let me repeat it: the 101 is indeed a good tablet, whith lots of interesting features (full size USB, HDMI, and the kickstand!!!!), but getting a for 100 $ more is probably worth the price difference (unless I am missing some lacks of the transformer).
Be careful that the build quality of the 101 is also not fantastic. It's not really bad and I have no problems at all with mine, but it's mostly made up with plastic, not metal, I am quite sure that it would break if it fell even from relatively low heights. The screen also breaks easily, using a hard case is recommended. Also, the viewing angles of the screen are quite bad, but you will get used to this.
hi all,
although i am not a noob to android, custom ROMS etc i am a noob to the eee pad transformer.
i have a few basic questions, which am sure more experienced people can anser in a jiffy:
1) whats the best root method for an up to date device? ie latest version of honeycomb and latest dock firmware. having scanned the forums i see a number of options, razorclaw looks the easiest to me, does anyone think not?
2) whats the best rom in terms of battery life and customability ( yes i am a customise freak!!). i.e i will want to OC and customise the innards out of it.. revolution rom seems to hit the spot so far, any other suggestions?
3) does anyone know if juice defender works on the eee pad? or is it better to use the airplane toggle app instead ( makes sense due to the lack of a 3G radio).
4) are there any kitchens to create my own custom rom?( long shot i know?!)
5) whats your favourite type of cheese? mine is a good strong, hard cheddar.
that is all.
many thanks
1. Razorclaw! its easy just run apk and actually your only option as the other methods do not work on latest updates.
2. I have only tried revolver. I liked so much did not bother flashing anything else. Compared to stock which i only ran for a day it seemed much smoother and battery is great.
3. I do not think you will need either.
4. ?? there may be something out there u can use.
5. Cheddar!

1.) Razorclaw, one click, done. So easy you will doubt at first you are rooted. (I did)
2.) Revolver with revolver parts... Nothing else like it.
3.) I use juice defender on my phone but found it useless on the transformer. The OS has the ability built in to auto disable wifi when the screen is off and that is all juice defender would do.
4.) Yes, and good luck!
5.) Sharp cheddar!

once i have rooted i will have a test of revolver first i think, seems to have the most customisable options so far.
Can someone clarify what's the deal with recovery on newer devices?
From what I can gather, if a device is B70 or newer, root and CWM can be installed easily, but NVflash will not work, so if the device gets bricked, or you need to claim it on warranty, there is no way to flash back to total stock including recovery?
Is this correct?

1. Razorclaw I think is the only one for newer like the B90 and everything.
2. I've tried Revolution and no offensive to revolution users I just found it a bit boring. I loved the browser that came with it and it was faster but there was little customization. I was originally hesitant to go with Revolver because I don't like the Xoom buttons and layout, but you can easily get the Asus Stock buttons and apps back. I am using ICS theme and I love it! I love how it even has the user agent option. It did not have that on stock. I noticed this the other night too but even when I do multitasking there is a little red X to close the window. I don't think that was there on stock. The opening animation is awesome too.
3. No idea what that is. I thought that android was really smart with the usage and multitasking and something about having 12 partitions. Sorry can't help ya there.
4. Isn't there a Chef ROM thing somewhere on the main forum sections? Never been in there but it says it's the best place to learn.
5. It used to be cheddar but I really love swiss now.

Did you try 'revolver parts' from the market? A free load of kernals, themes and many, many other options. All built be the same chap that built the revolver rom, by the way, he is only a young kid still at school. Respect to him
Am all rooted and suited now.razorclaw and on revolver rom. Am going to try the UOT kitchen and see if I can cook up some more mods for revolver.
Sent from my mind to yours using only the power of suggestion.
You an change the style of the buttons with revolver parts....
Hi, the reasons I've bought the Kindle Fire was that I wanted a cheap tablet on one hand (whilst it's quite capable HW-wise) and it's ability to be customized (it's capacity to have 3rd party roms on it, etc) on the other. On that second point I'm sure that the community will work its magic in the coming months: my dilemma however is with what I should do with the Fire I *currently* have...
I've received it a couple of days ago and I found out that the vanilla ROM seems quite alright on in itself. It seems limited, but as long as one roots and installs the Market (almost) the whole of Android force is unleashed. The UI is not always functional but it does feel as a breath of fresh air in a landscape which is tatterered with clones of the same thing (Google's UI)...
Anyhow the purpose of this thread -as the topic title states- is to weigh whether the installation of CM7 on KF is a justifiable move (given what we have at hand) for everyday use. I do own other android devices as well and installing CM flavours there was -often- an easy move given the benefits (more hardware capabilities, cleaner/faster UI, etc).
But on KF things seem to be less clear cut. For one CM7 doesn't seem to do more than what the stock rom already achieves in either the hardware side of things (no new "function" is enabled) *or* the software side (the lag is still there, and Amazon has/had already done an admirable job to keep her device working without the need of any physical buttons).
So my question is to those who already made the move to CM7 for daily usage. Was it worth it for any non experimental purposes? Were there any discernable benefits compared to stock? (I mean considering how the situation is right *now*, not how things *can* be).
Thanks for your attention and sorry for the length of this post, it's only that this is the first time that I find myself in front of such a dilemma. Before KF I would often install CM on my device no questions asked, but now things seem less clear cut. Your opinions will be valued - again, thank you.
For everyday use i find CM7 more useful simply because the Fire launcher is convoluted. Nothing you cant achieve with a launcher, however launchers tend make pior use of the sceeen real estate. Also no need to worry aboit the root removing OTA updates.
The only downside i have with CM7 right now is the lacl of volume softkeys

"Volume Control" from the Android Market is great - it puts a volume slider that auto-hides on the edge of the screen.
Pros: It does everything the kindle does at stock and then more (If you want to use emulators and games, I would recommend it).
Cons: It is hard to set up the stock amazon apps on CM7, although possible. There is also a small chance of bricking your device if you do everything totally wrong and for some reason (like not following directions) cannot unbrick using the known methods.
The main difference for me has been that I can use different PDF software to read PDFs more clearly and that I can play emulators on it.
A con for cm7 right now is the CPU constantly being at 1008mhz when wifi is on...at least for me. I tried the mac address fix but it didn't work.

For me I feel CM7 gives you that tablet feel more so than the Amazon UI. Having customization is always one of the main things I look for. I do have Amazon Prime however I hardly use any of their services besides the shipping. (Netflix > Amazon Instant Video)
Also if you do everything right and make a back up of your stock, you can always revert back to it if you don't like what you see.
The browser is smother on cm7 silk loads a bit faster, but the scrolling feels smoother on cm7, also in stock firmware when you go full screen you cant get rid of the gray bar, on cm you can hide it and show it as much as you want.
How ever... i feel that battery life is a bit shorter, but not much, I don't know if anyone else has that feeling.
there are no cons to CM7. ITS THE GREATEST software. I just got finished with ice cream sammich and that is boring as heck. Flashing back to CM7 and leaving my Vision in the ice cream.

imo this should be included with the rom
I am running CM7 as a daily ROM at the moment, and I can say that it is much better than the Amazon stock ROM. When running stock you have to worry about OTA updates that can potentially remove root access and prevent it from being acquired again (until a workaround is found). Also, for me at least, CM7 seems to run much better than the stock ROM did, with little to no lag.

Even if you have Amazon Prime you can use Amazon services still. You just have to download the apps onto CM7. I have done this, but I forgot where I got the apk files.
A couple more notes on CM7 v Stock
I no longer have the issue where the Fire wont wake and I have to hold power for a reboot.
Inputs seem more responsive, I no longer have to press things multiple times or them to work, mainly back button was problematic.
Much greater app compatibility in the Marketplace.
Also, thanks for he volume control, just what I needed.

Interesting. I may have been misinformed. I have Amazon Prime, have for years. I realize that I can still install the Kindle app and other Amazon apps, but can I still receive Amazon Prime free Streaming videos and free Kindle owners lending library, etc. if I switch over to CM7?
I rooted just the other day, I run cm7 on all my other devices, I do not have interest in it beyond the app swap option and swipe lock screen. The stock build + market is all I need at this point. When cm7 develops into a fully stable option I will certainly switch but for now I don't reccomend it.
So people, has anyone here been using is TF as a drawing tablet? I basically got mine thinking it would do a decent job replacing my graphic tablet when I'mnot at home, and I must say that with Photoshop Touch and the adonit Jot, it's been really great.
So if there's anybody here who uses it this way, I would very much like to see what they managed to obtain, so show off !
For people interested, here is what I got to do with a little work (and I have a last one, with a topless girl, which his my last and favorite creation... but I'm not sure I can show it here).
What do you use? Also, must show or we won't believe you can draw naked girls.
I made my signature with the jot and PS touch, I've done other things as well..like a SPARK signature logo in paul burton's dev thread..very handy..
That's some nice stuffs

How did you manage to get a different brush in PS Touch ? I can't find for the life of me a way to change it...

Okay, so here we go :
Yeah, from what I've gathered you can't change brush shape, only size, opacity, flow and hardness, but you can enable pressure sensitivity, yet it just random jitters with the jot, sure the jot 2 will enable this option fully, ICS already has pressure sensitivity via Bluetooth function built in IIRC.
But you get warp and filter masks etc so i use these functions to address the missing brush options.
Speaking of pen pressure... Did anyone try the stylus from the HTC Flyer or the Samsung Galaxy note with our TF ? PS Touch and SBPro claim they use the pressure ; can we get it with these ?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. With those pens, AFAIK, they require special hardware in the screen similar to a Wacom screen.

Well, given that theses styli are battery powered, I figured they would analyse the pressure themselves and send the,information to the device... after all that's the way my lowgrade Aiptek tablet works.
Thank you to the others for your nice comments.

Just to let you know I purchased Sketchbook Pro : wanted to see if it could be easier than Photoshop Touch to use. Well, I find the UI really intuitive, and it has freaking brushes ! Yay.
The con is that the number of layers is limited - 7 or 8, not sure. I only know I've found myself merging layers 'cause I needed a new one and had reached the app's limit.
Anyway, here's what I did this evening : took me about one hour, and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Nice man, I wish I had this kind of talent.
Just got sketchbook pro. Takes alot of getting used to but I like it so far! I am using a regular pen for tablets. This sketch took a while because I had to figure what everything does lol. Anyone got tips on using sketchbook pro?
Yay, like it - a lot! As you might already have guessed, you'll find the Transformer works best with sketching: getting a clean line can be a pain the ass, but eventually, everything seems to be possible.
As for tips, I'm afraid I don't have any. I know I have spent a fair amount of time learning to edit my brushes (you can change opacity, smoothness, spacing, hardness/smoothness... almost everything, for both the extremities and the middle of a line) only to find my settings didn't stick when I would close the app... but hey, with a bit of practice, it's pretty fast to set up again. If you ever used Photoshop or the Gimp, you'll find a lot of similarities.
hi, i want to buy the asus tablet tf300! but i wana know some things about it, it would be so cool if the users of this tablet answer me
1- first of all, the build quality? nice? no cracking materials?
2- wifi is it strong enough? my room is far about 10m from our server! can i have good signal?
3- is there any notification lights when for exemple low battery? new mail?
4- battery? good enough?
5- for root and unlocking BL! is it risky? can instal custum roms even tht im on the last update( JB i think) or i have to root and unlock BL only when the tabel is runing on android 4 ?
6- the keyboard is it responsive? solid?
7- can it read any type of 32g memory card?
8- i already have a sony s tablet on Android 4 no rootable, is it worthy to change from sony S to asus Tf300? i like my sony; it has very good wifi strength; but i miss rooting hehe! and instaling Roms. and specialy the keyboard of the asus is really very good stuff!
9- thanks and sorrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
no one??!
1. In my opinion very good
2. cant tell, cause my wifi router is next to me
3. no
4. battery is very good with a custom kernel. Never used stock
5. root and custom Roms are alwys tricky, but as long as you never use rom manager or do a wipe in bootloader menu all will be good.
6 which keyboard you mean? the dock? I dont use it. Use swiftkey from the market and its very good
7. some are good, some not.
8. dont know the Sony, so cant say
9. you are welcome

why so the nexus? i think the pad is more better .....
mine picks up wifi great
alot better than my 7" Acer Iconia a100
i even pick up the neighbors house that live about a footballs field away
i bought two 32gb G.Skills micro SD class 10 cards from newegg
they work great, i have one in the tablet, and i have the other with the SD adapter in the keyboard docking station
battery seems pretty good, with the docking station its really good
and i removed the files that make the ota updates download automatically
i get a way better quadrant benchmark with stock ics than i did with stock jb

1) Build quality is okay, it doesn't flex too much but your Sony has an overall sturdier build.
2) WiFi is excellent. I use it throughout my house and outside, no problems.
3) There is a notification light on the tablet, and on the dock. They light up when charging and low battery, etc. I'm sure it can be made to flash for other reasons (email, etc.) also.
4) Battery is very good on most kernels, ~7-8 hours without dock and an extra couple of hours when the dock is connected.
5) I have rooted and unlocked mine fine. I got it with 4.0.4 preloaded, then I updated using the OTA from Asus to Jellybean 4.1.1. Then I unlocked and rooted, now running cm10.1
6) The keyboard is good, I use it at school for taking notes in class and is fine. However it is more compact than full-size laptop keyboards and you may have to get used to it.
7) I have an 8gb micro-sd, but the tablet supports up to 32gb.. and I think even 64gb with mods? I'm not sure about this.
8) The TF300T will definitely feel like a faster tablet and you will enjoy the custom roms :good: but the stock experience isn't the best. The Sony tablet has a tegra 2 processor, and the TF300 has a tegra 3.. a pretty nice upgrade!
Hope I helped :cyclops:

It's not a notification light, it's just a charging indicator (orange when charging, green when done). You'll find it on the power button, so even if it can be used to notify of new events, it will be hard to see.

I haven't had any cracking issues and I've had it for a few months now, in a case of course. I don't tend to bend, twist or death grip my electronics either though
