android 2.0.1

hi I'm new to this forum I just bought htc dream and I saw on youtube there's a way to get android 2.0.1 on it. Is that true? How can I do that I also saw that the camra didn't work. Is there a way to make it work? And I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

I like Camera Magic better. It is faster, more resolutions to chose, and full screen viewing.
why 2.0.1...?
If I were u I'll go straight for the gold with
2.1 I like it better try kingklik.

Or just wait for CyanogenMod 5 in the next week. It will be a fully working 2.1 Eclair ROM.

lol, there's really no "best" ROM. It all depends on what you want. If you're a noob you would probably want to try out something stable and CM's will be the first stable & fully functional 2.1 release for the G1. I might recommend waiting for that. In the meantime you should probably root your phone if you haven't already and install a 1.6-based ROM. (Almost all of them are stable - you can pick just about any of them.)
when is that coming out? And how do I root it is there a tutorial?
Im guessing you don't know much about this don't you?

Alright let's begin shall we.
This Youtube video will get you into the root procedure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8F7FVISb7w
-------------------------------------------------------
Now once you do that you will need to find a nice stable, quick ROM.
Search : Super D, Cyanogen, or Zach and Xillus200.

You know, that has been asked and mentioned like a dozen times here already, you could have just checked any of the thread with similar title as yours..
But I'll answer then: install "iconiaroot.apk", tap on "Root." You're rooted.

any ROM suggestions?
The stock rom that came on your tab.the custom Rom each have great benefits over the stock.but they also bring additional issues .I truely think the developed are doing a awesome job.just a very young is and no love from Acer or google
Backup backup backup
I'd suggest you try Taboonay's ROM .. I switched to it from Virtuous Galaxy 10.1 yesterday and I am definitely enjoying it.. Also, chose a nice kernel to go along with it.. I'm using the Honey Villain kernel from Richardtrip.
thanks :

I tried it after I posted. It is using the old amend scripting so it won't flash with the new recovery. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will upload the stock keyboard eventually. I would if I knew how.
I asked the dev of the starwars rom and he gave me some instructions.

[ANSWERS THREAD] Ask any questions here!

Hi everyone, since I am probably one of the last active Gen8 device owners here on the forum and I enjoy helping people setup their Gen8 devices or just answer random questions related to them I decided to make this thread.
So anyone please if you have any questions ask them here as it will be easier for me to see them and (try to) answer them in a timely manner as I will be subscribed to this thread!
Thanks and hope this will make it easier to help the people out there that might still own one of these devices and is in wondering what to do next.

Sorry for the late response, I was in the middle of the exams re-take week so although I saw this I could not answer.
So I will do my best to help you but what do you actually want to do, are you asking how to install a newer android version (2.3.x or 4.0.x) or how to re-install the stock firmware or how to install an alternative OS (debian linux)?
Hello, same problem here , i want to install a new ROM(?) for my Archos101 but i don't know which one i have to choose , and i'm not really good in english , so if you can help me out
I just want a newest and fastest version than my 2.2.1

Well you can get a newer version but it will surely not be faster than 2.2, you could install OpenAOS Degu (android 2.3) or Cyanobiz (android 4.0) depending what version of android you want, I can help out if you tell me which one you want to install.
Also if you want to improve the performance of android 2.2 I would recommend installing one of the root kernels (either the OpenAOS boot menu one or Chulri's kernel) and then use the app called Milstone Overclock (I found it somewhere here on XDA, I can give a link) and set the CPU at 1.2Ghz.
You could also go multiboot using Kboot (which I actually need to re-upload and will do that now) so you can have newer android version(s) and stock working better at the same time. For root I would actually recommend Chulri's kernel instead of the OpenAOS one, it seems to work better.

I do not have that device but I don't even see a 50c Neon on their product range on the .com site, only a 50c Platinum and a 50 Neon, for the 50 Neon there is this MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-archos-50-neon-t3210324 but otherwise you are out of luck I am afraid.
Loool just search it in google i am sure you will find it !
Is there any ported rom or any thing else for my phone ?
Thanks in advance :good:

Nope, except that MIUI for that 50 Neon I can not find anything else so I'm afraid you are out of luck.
