It seems there is a lot of development (including CM7) over in the Folio 100 forums. Would it be possible to port these over? Does anyone have experience doing this? I'm hoping since they are both made by Toshiba the hardware might be compatible.

just wondering why the viewsonic tablet had root and custom roms within like 3 days of release yet the gen 8s still have nothing being done?
I'm not an expert but I think part of the reason is there are not a lot of devices out there yet. I pre-ordered mine and I am just getting it tomorrow. Also, developers have had a hard time rooting the device. Once it is rooted, you should see some roms.
That's because the VeiwSonic did not use Squashfs in read only mode. This makes it very hard to fully root. There is a temp root right now through the z4mod.
As soon as Archos releases the SDE (kind of "root"-firmware) we'll be able to root and test custom roms
I started developing DVB-T integration for Gen8, hopefully it'll be done in january
But for testing I still wait for the dvb-t stick (hauppauge nova-t stick) and my A101 and the SDE

Sounds cool!!support!!
Not only was the Viewsonic easily rooted, there was other tablets on the planet with VERY similar hardware. One of the first ROMs was ported from a Chinese tablet (in Chinese for a bit). For us, there's nothing like ours to port from, so it is a matter of getting permanent root & then the devs can safely tear into the Source-Code and make some magic.
Lack of available Archos tablets didn't help out. Also you can't get these at Best Buy either.

Probably doesn't help much but in Germany there are some available at Saturn markets (Essen for example). If it's so hard to get hold of them in the States, maybe you'll better off by importing one from here.
It looks like there are a variety of other devices that have the same chipset - I've perused around other threads where some people had some success doing it (samsung vibrant has the same wifi chipset). I was curious if this was on any of the devs radars at all - theres an entire community of pentesters and infosec folks twitching and biting their nails over the idea that one can run standard industry tools (like the aircrack suite) on this platform.
I've been able to install ubuntu on my xoom, however the kernel module for the chipset (bcm4329) doesn't currently support monitor mode.
Thoughts / ideas / advice?
I think this would be fun to have....

I started a thread a couple of days ago wondering the same thing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983646
am interested as well!!
I work for the android development team at Broadcom and I didn't even know that the xoom used the bcm4329. That's interesting. Unfortunately, I can't really give you any information on your problem.

Think theres a chance it can be tweaked at the android level?
Moved. Please post in the correct section. Thank you.
If other phones that have the same chipset work in monitor mode, it should be possible to port the code over to the existing wireless module we have now.
That said, it will probably be a bit of work porting from the version of Android on the Captivate (2.1, 2.2?) to 3.0.

Wrong: CYANOGENMOD 7 RELEASED, HARMONY SUPPORT, DIDN'T NOTICE ANY POSTS REFERING TO IT
Right: CM7 was released, with Harmony support.
Wrong: SHAME THAT NVIDIA ARE NOT SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT FOR HARMONY CHIP FROM 2.2 ONWARDS IF REPORTS ARE TRUE
Right: It's a shame that nVidia isn't supporting Harmony developers from 2.2 onwards, if reports are true.
Mod Edit: All caps is annoying. Please don't use it. Thanks.
Yes if you actually look at the other CM7 threads you will see that the Vega changes have been added to the official tree now.....
and how can you go and say that we have cm7 (2.3) and then complain about the lack of nvidia support beyond 2.2 in the same post, completely contradicts itself....
but doesnt the tegra 2 already power a bunch of honeycomb tablets already?

there are two types of tegra 2 boards, Harmony which the vega has supported to android 2.2 and Ventana which the xoom has, supported beyond 2.2
Useless posts removed, OP reformatted. All caps is just annoying.
Also, thank you Lennyuk for your expertise. I actually wasn't aware of the two Tegra 2 revisions. What are the differences between Harmony and Ventana?

as far as I know there is not actually a great deal of differences between the two, I think the ventana board has an extra GPU slot, that might be it.

Interesting. I wonder why that would be since these SOCs don't have modular components, with the GPU being directly integrated into the SOC itself... Weird.
UPDATE 12 APRIL 2011:
Sorry folks looks like I caused a bit of confusion. Since this is a developer forum my comments
were targeted at Tegra Honeycomb developers and for this we’d like to focus on Ventana. For shipping or production products, customers should contact the device makers directly for OS support plans. They are responsible for the OS shipping on their device.
In relation to our linux kernel git repository, NVIDIA will continue to provide full open-source support for all of our kernel components and will push more of that upstream over time.

UPDATE 13 APRIL 2011
A lot has been read into a very short post about a Tegra development kit. I'd like to clear up a few points.
First, nothing changes in what we’re delivering to the open source community or customers. NVIDIA will continue to post the Tegra kernel to kernel.org and publish our Android code to our public git servers. Additionally, we will continue to make our BSP (codecs, GPU driver etc) available to all our hardware partners. We will continue to do this and nothing about these processes has changed.
For our partners' Android devices, NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device. So, for instance, NVIDIA will support the Xoom on all versions of Android Motorola requests until Motorola ceases to support the Xoom. The same goes for ViewSonic with the G-Tablet, Notion Ink with the Adam, Acer with the Iconia, LG with the Optimus 2X and so on.
In relation to my original reply, that was a response to a specific question about a Tegra 250 Development Kit. Given the confusion, we will work with owners of Tegra 250 Development Kits individually to determine their needs. The term "Harmony" is an internal codename for the Tegra 250 Development Kit. It is not a tablet reference design. Each shipping tablet is a custom design with varying hardware components and requires a custom OS image from the OEM who made the tablet.
Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers. We will be reaching out to them today.

Can anyone translate this for me? Are we (Advent Vega users) getting the Tegra 2 update? And is this the one for Honeycomb?
From what I can tell, Yes. Or am I reading this wrong?

There is no "Tegra 2" Update
You are getting confused.
Basically when the Tegra2 boards were given to manufacturers they had one of two designs
Harmony which the vega has
or Ventana which newer tablets have
These are not set in stone, they were just designs that then get built to specific needs by each manufacturer.
Nvidia are not releasing their own stock images beyond android 2.2 for Harmony however they have made it very clear that it is down to each manufacturer to do this, Nvidia will support the manufacturers for as long as they want to continue service on each device.
Advent do not yet know if the manufacturer (Shuttle) will give us a HC rom, however at least 2 other clones of the Vega have confirmed it, so it looks promising.
Point of View is supposed to deliver us a fresh HC ROM, I would be really thankful!
All I need is a rom w/o cellphone stuff, just tablet things to work always with optimizations and no slow downs.. That's why I bought a tablet with tegra... but after news like this, customers like me get pretty sad and will regret buying another device from them. Gz;
I'm sorry this is off-topic, but there is no Shield Tablet forum yet
Is anyone of you Tegra devs up to the challenge to port CM to the Shield Tablet and Mi Pad? Would be very nice
Regards,
Random
Would love to, If theres enough users and If I can get my hands on one of those devices otherwise no TWRP nor custom ROMS
Good morning,
at the moment there are only 2 tablets on the market powered by the K1... and sincerely I don't think it will get CM.
Hello everyone. Hope this is the correct forum to ask this.
I've been googling around and have not found my answer. I am wondering if there is any news on getting Lollipop on the HP Slate 7 Extreme?
I'm not fussy about how, I hoped even Cyanogen mod would support it, but it doesn't seem to? Or should I be looking for a Tegra Note 7 build?
Thanks in advance!
I honestly doubt we will be getting lollipop. The tegra note is likely to get it though. Maybe someone can port it?

If the Tegra Note 7 gets it, we will eventually. But it may be delayed.
