Tegra kernel 2.6.36 on android 2.3

Just noticed this over on Notion Ink's website...
Android 2.3 comes with Kernel version 2.6.35. The latest which NVidia Tegra works with is 2.6.36! http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/tegra.git;a=summary

Perhaps some one far smarter than me can make use of this info...

I don't think the stock tegra kernel has all the drivers necessary for the G Tablet. Because I think people have known about that repository, and as far as I know, nobody's built their own kernel that's worked with the G Tablet, but rather have been using kernels pre-built for the G Tablet or the ZPad.
This is why people keep talking about wanting the source from Viewsonic.
But if somebody wants to try doing a kernel build and seeing what does or doesn't work, more power to you!

This is actually only sort of related, but I noticed screenshots a few days ago of what was supposedly 2.3, but the about phone item show a 2.6.29 kernel version like 2.0 & 2.1 use, while 2.2 uses 2.6.32, and I knew that 2.3 was also getting a kernel update..
Oddly enough noone commented on that in the comment section on that site, and I just couldn't be bothered to create an acct to comment...

I've searched nvidia's git repo for our touchscreen drivers and they are not there. Therefore, trying to build from nvidia's git for the gtab won't do us any good until Viewsonic (malata, etc.) posts the kernel source.

this may sound silly. but can we somehow maybe get drivers from the touchscreen for the tegra? instead of looking for drivers from nvidia for the screen can we look for drivers from the screen maker for the tegra?

No hardware requirements for Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)

Hey! Just want to share this article.
No-hardware-requirements-for-android-3-0-honeycomb
If all of these are true then our Archos 101IT and 70IT would be seeing Honeycomb.
We could now Root our devices without Installing the SDE (using Archangel).
Now we wait to see if Archos will also go the Honeycomb update!

Yes, it's been posted here and there for a few days. But with the availability of a Honeycomb build for archos might depend more on the goodwill of Archos than on the hardware requirements :'(

hmm.. Well, for everything people say about Archos and their Support. They seem to be pretty generous with their updates so I wouldn't be surprised if we get Gingerbread &/or Honeycomb in the future

New update out soon.

We should see a new update out in just a few days for the eLocity A7.

Any idea of what has been resolved or any new features? I might drop the Dexter mod and just side load apps if I can get the following working....
1) Bluetooth PAN (Dexter mod 1.1 killed this ability)
2) Adhoc Wifi with Wep (current Adhoc fix WPA_SUPPLICANT) doesn't work with WEP encryption and only will work on totally open mode.
Thanks,
J

I am hoping that Dexter will update his mod based on the latest Elocity upgrade...
He is doing a great job for all of us.
Thanks again.
Regards

Totally agree. Dexter has done an awesome job....
Has anyone confirmed whether Bluetooth PAN works on the stock firmware? I saw a few posts but they were more related to issues with Bluetooth headsets with the mod.
Thanks,
J

A pinch to zoom fix would make me happy, Gingerbread too, but it might be a long shot.

Where from info - meaning - where did you learn of this forthcoming update?
Thanks

I'm thinking the update will consist of a new startup screen showing:
Quadrant Scores:
Motorola Xoom: 1823
Elocity A7: 2400+
Seriously though, I am impressed by the speed this thing has, and with Gingerbread, we could maybe push 3k. Come on Elocity, put 2.3 in the update...

CPG - went to your site to view the Enspert E201U - wow that is one nice looking device for $349.00
Although we have the eLocity and are blown away by speed, the device is certainly more than a little rough around the edges - useable sure but rough.

They do not have models out with Android 3.0, there is NO tablet out yet with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). The Motorola Xoom is going to be the first, and that comes out the end of February.
The newer A7 models and the A10 are not out yet...

If you have been following this forum I have had contact with Stream TV Networks (makers of the eLocity A7) since meeting with them at CES 2011. When I met with them they wanted a list of the main issues we were having with the device, I have been working with them in this regard.

Hopefully the forthcoming update will enable true multitouch capability (and all Google applications).

I keep meaning to ask them this.. I will find out their plans on it..
Also, could someone private message me who is comfortable flashing their A7 and is knowledge about Android.... something to go over with you..

please do. would really go a long way to baking up a more robust kernel. besides they have an obligation under the GPL... know the source code for the tegra stuff is closed but they should be able to be released as binaries. Would go a long way in fixing some deficiencies in the current feature set like multi-touch and cifs.

I'd consider helping, but can't truly say I'm knowledgeable about Android. It relatively now to me. I can flas my devices (Captivate, G Tablet & A7), follow directions and do all the basic stuff. Still, I know nothing about coding or the inner workings.
I do have a spare device with a cracked screen (hoping I can get it fixed, but eLocity won't get back to me) I can use.

Newb needing asssistance with New Mod #: Model # Archos A70CHT

Total “Newbie” to the archos – need a pointer or two.
Need to jailbreak or a ROM for regular android & google app store & apps for my new Archos 7C home tablet with following features
Model # A70CHT
Firmware: 1.0.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.25
Build #: V0.18.ECLAIR.eng.root.20110412.114703
Would appreciate info for rom’s or apps as well as procedures.
Looking forward to being an active participant here – reminds me of the “old days” with my Palm OS devices.
Thanks!

Didnt read post properly :/ i dont know anything about the home tablets, sorry

The 70CHT is a Home Tablet, it's not a Gen8, sorry :s

Hey,
There isnt a hack for this, but i think it will be released soon just look at this site:

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

HC 3.2 coming :D brace yourselves.

Hi there, just been reading about this after I found it on a gadget website this morning . hopefully it'll ship to tablets soon..... or if the devs in here, mdj and dexter are feeling generous they may buy one of the new tablets and port it over perhaps??
http://2dayblog.com/2011/06/23/android-3-2-coming-this-summer/
quick quote if you aren't allowed external site access and youre reading from your xda app.
"Yesterday we saw the launch of the world’s first Android 3.2 tablet, Huawei’s MediaPad. However, it seems it won’t be long until we see more tablets running 3.2, as the build is set for release this summer.
Android 3.2 doesn’t offer much in the way of features. This is my next reports that it does contain some bug fixes and improved hardware acceleration, but the biggest thing is that it will bring support for Qualcomm processors as well as Nvidia’s popular Tegra 2 chipset.
The Motorola Xoom will reportedly get Android 3.2 in the next few weeks, but Qualcomm support could mean that current 7-inchers (like the HTC Flyer) may also get the update. Fingers crossed!"
So seeing as the Xoom is getting it in the next few weeks, lets give support to our devs and maybe the A500 may get it also.

HC 3.2 is just 3.1 optimised for 7" tablets. Of no real relevance to Acer Iconia A500 users. It really should have been called 3.11 but then that might have recalled some scary memories for seasoned Windows users.

Yeah, trying to get a Windows 3.11 PC connected to a novell netware network using thinnet cable, made even Linux administration seem easy.

I got nostalgic for my first Windows PC, so I'm running my old "friend" Windows 3.11 on my Iconia using DOSbox.
In relevance to the thread though:
"Tech site This Is My Next, however, reports that Android 3.2 Honeycomb will be the last in the Android 3.x series and that it has several new features:
- optimized for 7-inch devices,
- expands support for more mobile processors such as NVIDIA Tegra 2 and Qualcomm’s processors,
- fixes some bugs and improves hardware acceleration, and
- provides updates to widgets and apps (e.g., Movies, Movie Studio, Music, etc.)."
