Yes it is
This is doing by people who want to run "warez" games or apps on their apple device
but you dont have to do this on android

Jailbreak is not only for iOS, it's called another way for android, but all are jailbreak ^^

The Home Tablets are not Gen8. This forum is only for Gen8 tablets(IT, not HT). I don't think you'll ever find a Rom developed in here for the HTs. You can petition the moderators to add a new forum though.
And I hate to say it(I really do), because I have a friend that bought an HT as well, but it's a ripoff. The performance difference between an HT and an IT is night and day, and the price difference just doesn't justify it, so I doubt there will be much development for the HT at all.

Summarized:
You won't find a Rom here on XDA, but i pretty sure you'll find a Rom in a few weeks on www.arctablet.com
I think that, because they've do Roms for the Arnova 8 & 10 with Marketplace,etc.

it is not for Archos 7 hT XX

[Q] What about Android Movie Studio?

Is that available on the Transformer?

Yes, it's part of the 3.1 update. It's fairly limited as far as a video editor is concerned, but it does work for simple cuts.
Bye.

It's part of the 3.1 stock Rom...haven't used it yet though..

Ok, thanks guys

Does Netflix Still Work on Iconia A500?

Hey there you sexy people. I'm looking at buying a tablet, but if I'm going to purchase a tablet it *must* support Netflix streaming; this is my most desired feature. My second most desired feature is a full-size USB port, so woohoo for the Iconia!
When the unofficial (hacked) APKs came out I know people had some luck with it working on the device. My question is, does it still work, or has Netflix killed it with a server-side update?
I'm specifically looking for answers from people who have recently tried it within the last few days (or are able to try it right now).
If anyone cares to add to the discussion aside from Netflix, feel free to tell me what made you happy or angry about the A500. I know the Android 3.1 release being pushed back over and over is a big one. I'd like to hear if you are glad with your choice in tablet.
Thank you all!

even the hacked apk's never worked. They were mislabeled as working on that thread. i've been trying just about every hour of every day to get the market version as well as every release thats been put up on the internet along w/ build.prop modifying to get this thing rocking netflix... but alas it still isn't working.
aaaanyway, thats not to say it wont work anytime soon but the only tablet it works awesome on to my knowledge is the ipad, and i'm not counting 7" tablets because i just dont care enough about them to look into them.
and to dive deeper into what you posted about the only real gripe i have for this a500 is that its heavy, you get used to it after a while but at first its crazy heavy. Partly the size has to do w/ the usb port i'm sure, making it thicker which is unfortunate but the weight... i have no idea where its coming from after playing around w/ the galaxy tab for a bit.
good times, hope you find a tablet that works for you.

From my understanding regarding the Netflix app (this is compiled from reading many threads on the subject):
Tablets based on Android 2.3.3 seems to work fine.
Tablets based on Android 2.3.4 is a hit or miss proposition, mostly miss. The ones that don't work either have no playback or playback is at a faster speed ("the chipmunk effect" as some call it).
Tablets based on Android launches, but doesn't playback at all (at least up to 3.0.1...don't know about 3.1, will have to read the threads again). Usually says the device is unsupported.

I was unaware of both of these things; thank you for your input, gentlemen!

i wish
In Honeycomb 3.0 Netflix does not even show up in the market on the a500 - none of the modified versions out there seem to work. Tried a million of them.
After flashing the unofficial advance leak of 3.1 for the Iconica - Netflix does show in market, everything works except actually watching anything - bombs out with a 12001 : cannot connect to server.
I would guess support will be added soon - perhaps around the time 3.1 becomes official.

RK66 Mini Android TV Box

Hi all. The other day I was "lucky" winner RK66
(pandawill ! com/rk66-mini-android-tv-box-android-41-bluetooth-rk3066-dual-core-1g-ram-hdmi-tf-8gb-p69361 ! html)
Summarizes the characteristics: Rockchip RK3066, ARM Cortex-A9 dual core, 1.2GHZ; GPU: Mali-400 MP4 quad core
Interested in running it XBMC (xbmc ! org).
Now there is a RC3 version for Android devices, but it is not a pleasant limit screen resolution (1280x672).
I also read about a version of linux for android mini pc, but it is in the stage of pre-alpha.
Maybe someone else knows what or installation options XBMC (media center or similar)?
Just looking for information on updating the device in the future, where I can get the firmware?
Interested in running CyanogenMod and firmware based on it.
XBMC like the ability to install additional plug-ins to watch online movies from websites.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Edit: Sorry misread your post. Yes linux Pi****u is 0.3 alpha. Wireless isn't working on it properly yet among other things.
There is a XBMC Frodo Beta 2 on the net somewhere done by someone called Lewy I've not tried it but it works on the MK808
If you search youtube for MK808 XBMC beta 2 the video will show up. From what I've read a lot of the features are working with this version, but again I've not tried it.
Hope this helps.

This device is quite similar to others like the MK802iii from the sounds of it. Progress on CM on them will likely help this, given it's an RK3066 CPU as well.

Thanks for answers.
I realized that I would have to wait.
Even test the version XBMC, support for Full HD still no.
Do not tell me how to get root rights on this ustroyve or similar?
P.S. They are in very short supply for functions mount, reboot.

http://cm3066.com/ CM10 for the MK808 maybe it will work?

Hi, Free4ert! Maybe this could help you?! http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3134-NEW-iMito-MX1-2-Finless-ROM-1-5-Root-debloat-init-d-support&highlight=ug802
Please read the threat, as I understood, running on hi-res the thingy heats pretty much!
BTW I understand that you perchased your RK66 at pandawill. Did it come with a powersupply or is this an extra to buy? I would appreciate your answer. Thanks

Has anybody confirmed this? I am interested as well as I have recently purchased an rk66 mini tv box.

Need an Android Stick.... What would you recommend?

I want to get an Android Stick in the next day or so and wanted to know what you guys would currently recommend?
Seems to be that these 3 are very good ones, have good reviews and are sold on Amazon. I listed them in order of how I was thinking about going.
1. Tronsmart MK908 II
2. Tronsmart T428
3. Tronsmart CX919
Or is there something else out there that is better.
Basically want something for general Android use. Internet, Gaming, light Productivity.
I have an OUYA, Gamestick, Nexus 7' iPads. So that might give you an idea.
I know how to do very basic hacking. Rooting and what not, but would love to have all of it pre done if possible.
Any help and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

No one has any thoughts? I would like to try and order something today. Leaning towards the MK908 II. Seems fast and responsive. Wifi and Bluetooth are better, comes rooted, and has both a 720p and 1080p kernel.

how much are they roughly?

I see the recommendation for the mk908ii but can it play 1080 in XBMC? I would rather a amlogic than a rockchip based one if XBMC is the main purpose.

I would like to know if they support;
VPN
Bluetooth keyboards
Adobe Flash
DLNA
Gamepads usb and bluetooh
Zattoo player
Cameras for Google Hangouts
One more thing how often they upgrade the firmware, is it planned to have android kitkat on them?
Thanks a lot.

Well yes to all, if not, a custom rom will support it.
I doubt they will get official update to 4.4, no doubt at some point a custom rom will support.
I brought a mk908 v1 for the prospect of running a full linux distro on it and having a far more powerful raspberry pi. While ive got ubuntu running with all the trimmings, still lack hardware acceleration 2d & 3d. Also missing vpu acceleration so only software decoded video, but for reference with this is still powerful enough to soft-decode a 720p bluray smoothly. hwa will be here soon though.
Under android with a custom rom/ kernel i got 20,000 in antutu which blew me away. Defiantly impressed by the rk3188 soc.

Thanks a lot!!!
And what about the MiniX NEOX7 deserves to pay more money for it compare to the normal sticks we talked in here?

I bought a Minix Neo X7 for my parents mainly for Skype. Unfortunately, atleast with the current 006c firmware, Skype or Hangouts doesn't work. Checkout minixforums.com. There seem to be quite a few issues with video playback & camera support. I cannot say anything personally because I couldn't try the device myself (I am not at home). Hopefully, the new firmware that is expected to come out in November will have the issues fixed. Otherwise, I am afraid it will turn into a paper weight for me.

So considering all options... would you think that Tronsmart MK908 II is the best option available?
I want to buy it as a christmas present for a couple of people and me

If that questions was meant for me, sorry. I don't have much knowledge about these devices to make a recommendation. SomeCoolTech in YouTube has done reviews for some of these. May be you can check that out. Unfortunately, his review praised Neo X7 as well. So, I would be cautious in making any purchase decisions solely based on those videos. Keep in mind that we (my parents) didn't try any video playback with X7. I was disappointed with it because of the video chat issues. From what I understand, Minix X5 doesn't have those kind of camera issues, so I am hoping it will be fixed in the next firmware update.
