HDMI IN?????

Is there any way to use the Epic as a mini monitor? I'm assuming not but I figured I'd ask anyways. Would it be possible at all?

That's actually a very good idea but I don't think its possible.
epic

No HDMI in for the simple reason that there is no hardware support.

Doesn't really make any sense since our resolution is so low the HDMI input video would look horrible. Also, considering we can't even get the standard video out to work I seriously doubt the reverse is going to work.

Not wired, but there's this app: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
Theres another that I can't find right now (magic something I think). Both are based on VNC mirror display drivers, do you need a pc, a server app for the pc and the client software for your andoid.
Good luck.

Should I buy?

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)

To Gpu:

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?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

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.

TV Out

Ok so I have searched a bit and cannot find anything related to a TV Out for the Dinc. I know I have seen it mentioned on this forum before, but search is not showing any results.
Anywho is it possible to use TV Out on a Dinc running AOSP Rom? (Miui...atm)

I have not heard of it working with AOSP ROMs, only Sense. I don't use TV-OUT at all, but seeing posts about it, it doesn't work with AOSP.

At this very moment, I don't believe so. Although I haven't kept up with any AOSP roms in months. That said, the news (and Verizon support PDF to go along with it) that there is a gingerbread update dropping hopefully this week will bring with it the proper files that AOSP rom developers need to incorporate 720p.

awesome hopefully video out is included in this GB update and can be incorporated into the AOSP roms.
I assume I need a miniusb to hdmi cable or something?

Maybe some one will make a sense-less script that you can use to remove sense but keep TV out on GB. i know Lou had a script that removes sense on his rom. it felt the same as AOSP

Does TV-out work on sense GB roms? I thought it was just working on froyo but I could be wrong. Assuming that source is going to be released now for GB, maybe we'll see something implemented into AOSP GB roms?

I have no clue about tv out compatibility on gingersense roms,I don't have a use for it. But I will say there are quite a few people anticipating updates in EVERY rom with 720, tv out, kernel development, or glitches being ironed out. I'm happy everyone gets a piece of the pie if and when the source is released.

I haven't seen it on any Gingerbread ROMS that I know of... I last had it on WarmZ which was Sense 2.0 on Froyo. The closest I figure I can get to AOSP with TV-Out is LauncherPro+ on the Sense ROM of choice.
I've been patiently waiting for it to show up on G-Bread. The cord is just sitting right there begging to be used lol I have no idea why they can't implement TV-Out on AOSP roms though. Seems like one of those features that just gets thrown in uknow.

what cord is needed? I assume the correct drivers will be found when the source is released.
I assume the GB source thats coming will fix TV-out in both Sense and AOSP roms.

Its equivalent to a DVD player or a Wii; it looks really good on CRT TV's and kinda whatever on an HD flat screen... I have a 32 inch CRT and I watch movies off the phone on a regular basis, its pretty awesome

What's a CRT? ;-)
Good info though, thanks. I've been curious about the TV-out functionality of the inc.

I purchased from my Verizon store the TV out cable. Yeah, it works like the last guy said. I picked it up primarily to watch movies on my girlfriend's CRT TV. It worked great. Then she got an LCD and it didn't look quite as good.
I lost TV out once I switched from Sense to CM7. We'll see what happens with the coming GB update. Maybe I'll switch back. I doubt it, though, especially if TV out may be coming to AOSP ROMs.

video looks good, but the processing power of the phone is limited so I've had stuttering issues with higher resolution videos that would look good on an LCD. not the cables fault.

Got an android phone? Control your tablet with it :) Link!

You might wanna have some fun with this.
It might not work with all set ups, but you can give it ago.
I found that the keyboard only worked for me via the blue tooth.
Post your results.

No what I mean is that if I want to control my tablet from my phone or vice versa, I can't see the screen of the device I control.

It`s a great app i use it when watching movies etc but the text function dossent work so i can`t youtube or files and that makes me use a bt keybard instead

Sweet, I have an Xperia Play, if I can use it as a controller on my tablet, that would be awesome! Will have to try later!

works fine with nexus 7 and Samsung galaxy s3
I downloaded it so I could use my tablet to control my s3 which is docked into a hdmi cradle I'm looking for something that duplicates my phones screen on my tablet but this is working fine. even the keyboard works perfect can't actually click on a video tho after searching YouTube but I'm sure in future updates the option will be there not bad for a free app tho!

Most stable ROM?

May be the wrong place to post this, my apologies if so.
I've just purchased a Nexus player. I have also got an air mouse/keyboard combo as a remote (best $20 I've ever spent). I only plan to use a few apps on the device:
- net flix
- kodi
- youtube
- general web browser
- maybe songza
and I'm wondering which ROM might be the most stable? I've heard of people having issues with Netflix off stock, on stock, yes, no, maybe... mine is currently running stock, v5.1.1.
Which one is the most stable from my usage point would you fine people say?
Stock 5.1
Stock 6
AOSP
Lollirock 5.1
Lollirock 6
Thanks so much!

Yea this may be the wrong spot to post this but may I ask where you got that air mouse from?

Thanks, maybe the mods could move this thread to the right spot..
I've tried a few remotes with a few android boxes I've had and this one is the best I've found. I bought the one called 'Aerb' but you'll see a number of resellers on ebay selling the exact same device. It runs on 2 AAA batteries.
What I really really like is that the four coloured buttons on the bottom AND the big red power button on the
top left are learning/programmable IR blasting, so you can program them to turn your TV on, change inputs, increase TV volume etc. using your TV remote. The other buttons are not programmable.
