hey guys
im thinking of possibly buying the vega but wanted to know if theres any chance of it getting honeycomb?
The Froyo build on the Vega is AOSP (slightly modified) using the Nvidia reference libs. So until Honeycomb hits AOSP even the OEM doesn't know how it will work. When they do know they will tell the rebadgers (POV/Advent/etc) and then we may find out.
Unofficially we'll probably know shortly after Honeycomb drops in AOSP because we'll try to get a build running.
I have been holding off myself as it doesnt look to be running that great even on the cooked ROMS. I have been stung before waiting for a ROM upgrade or fix that never came. Not going to buy this until it gets a decent honey rom.
Well, mine runs great. Bang for buck, im super happy.
Performance is good n fast, and it does what i need it to do. Not sure where you got the idea it doesnt run well.
Id love to see honeycombe etc, but if they dont appear for the vega, ill still be happy with it.
Dont be off put due to lack of a particular rom

Then save your cash for another tablet. You know the old tale of buying a device for what it is supposed to be able to do in the future and not for what it does now? It tends to have sad endings

It runs just perfectly fine on the default roms and addons imo. It should be able to run honeycomb and I think it will in time... but there are no guarantees.
It's a fine device as it is now already though.
I've been playing around now for a day with my Vega. A very good device for it's budget!
getting honeycomb would be the ultimate treat for this sweet tablet
Let's just hope for now..
The vega isn't that bad, bang for buck its great, but the screen is horrible and ruins it big time.

True, the screen leaves alot to be desired, and I would have paid €50 extra for a superior screen, but really, for the price I paid, the tablet is awesome.

Yep, as reported here: http://www.fudzilla.com/notebooks/item/22069-point-of-view-mobii-tegra-2-to-get-honeycomb
I'd rather hear news by Advent. I have nothing against POV, but at least I know Advent has delivered once what they promised (source code in the end of January).

from my small under standing i dont think i would be to hard to compile for the vega since it is similar to the xoom which 3.0 was built for and their is no need to get gps or data working which should speed things up

If you look in the Developpers forum you'll find Cyanogenmod 7 has been out for some time. That's Gingerbread.

Hello All,
I have few questions to 70it2 owners:
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
- How is screen ?
- Did you try to root it ?
If you successfully rooted it, I'd be interested in a dd of mmc to check if I can get the aos keys. It's completely safe for your device, and it would help me for the future...
Thanks,
LeTama
Archos 70BIT2
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
the charge is great, had no problem with it. It comes with 3 adapters from 3 countries:US, HongKong and Europe. Also with a USB cable and
- How is screen ?
screen is 7 inch and it picks up fast but regardless of the cpu usage but try not to use more than one app at the same time
- Did you try to root it ?
still looking but no one has not posted intructions to root it because this device just came out recently. I hope to root it ASAP because i have only have less than 15 days to return this. Thats all
Hi,
Thanks for the replies! Questions were a bit obsolete as I purchased a froyo it2 one (and killed it, but that's another story).

I rooted froyo it2, but don't try what's there on yours, it won't work. Root is a bit different on this tablet, but I can't do it without having it, too dangerous. Sorry!
Shame they won't release ICS for it...

Is it really that much different from the G9?
Yes, it's completely different, soc is previous generation, omap3, single core and slower graphics.
But I don't buy the argument that it would be too slow, we see it running quite smooth on slower platform. And it's supposed to be more efficient than Honeycomb after all.

I wonder for how much you bought it. If you bought it at carphonewarehouse, listed as 70IT and sold for 99 pounds, I think you shouldn't complain...
i have bought it 110euros but i had 100euros of reduction from the firm where i work.
210e real for an error of marketing like my tab. It's just the reality, then i can complain lol
and i don't think that this tab will receive a good support from archos.
It was annonced an archos it first generation like you.

I have the i'm Watch (imwatch.it) I thought in buying the Sony one. But now that the have released the Sideload Manager and it now accepts a least to the best of my knowledge, Android 1.6 apps and have installed and run Angry Birds, Dolphin Browser, Opera Mini, all seem to work fine, and saw the awful Browser for the Sony, I am really no longer so sure.
If one could install, any software like in the I'm Watch into the Sony one, I will probably be buying the Sony soon. If there are limitations, probably not.

Are you loading apps via I'M Cloud or another way? I cannot get that cloud to recognize myvwatch.
Why isn't anyone here using the Motorola MotoACTV? It is still the best, in my opinion. Runs android 2.3.5, is rooted, has Roms, has root tools and even an AOSP rom already out there.

It's cheaper than the I'm watch. You can find them on ebay for between $50 and $200. I don't think that's a reason.
Although, the root tool I developed for it has been downloaded over 11,000 times now, so apparently it's being used quite a bit lol. I just want more of you guys to recognize its awesomeness.

Ah yes! I need to add the metawatch! The rock watch is on ebay, and I think on amazon too. I can't remember who makes it, but the real world battery life is not so great, from my understanding. Still, it looks neat lol. I will complete my chart tonight if I'm able, with all their features, such as wifi, gps, vibration function, etc. I'll also try to add pictures. If you guys know if any of those prices are wrong, let me know? I tried to find retail prices for them but had problems.

Thanks for all of your hard work -- not easy to pull all the details together.
The prices you've cited look pretty accurate to me. (Note that Pebble has set $150 for non-kickstarter pricing.)
Thanks again for this handy reference chart.
Thanks for the comparisons. If I had known fhat tye motoactv was rooted with custom ROMs, I might have not bought the I'M Watch.
Here, check it out now:
Smart Watch Spec Comparison
I've added a LOT. I've still got to add the WIMM One watch and the MetaWatch though.
UPDATE: 3/11 - Added the WIMM One and MetaWatch. If anything is wrong, some places contradicted information, so please let me know!
Motoactv FTW! Runs on Android 2.3.4, runs a plethora of smart phone apps, and it's not hideously under-powered.

No prob. That's a great comparison chart, very informative!
This seems to have the best specifications of Samsung and HTC combined, additionally offering dual sim. For that price i can live just fine with a non-changable battery.
Seems like a very nice device. If it will be available in europe, and there's good support for custom roms here on xda, then it would be an alternative to Oneplus 3 for me.
I'm definitely getting this phone when it comes out. Can't wait to get rid of my G5. The thermal mitigation screen dim is killing me!

Updates are important, espacially if there is barely Custom Rom support. I'm afraid of latter, on the other hand the Snapdragon SoC makes it easier. Maybe this will be my first try to port a Custom Rom.
I'm sure it will be possible to unlock the bootloader, even though that's just my feeling.

In my opinion force touch is absolutely useless. At the moment we have 3 options, single tap, double tap and long click, and if you want even more, triple tap, etc. Why would you need force touch? That's just a desperate attempt for innovation.
At the moment the ZTE Axon 7 is higher ranked for me that the OnePlus 3, especially because of the front facing speakers! If you had front facing speakers before, you want nothing else.

Well in this point I disagree with you. Force touch could and should be a kind of new interaction. It´s a question of implementation. You´re totally right for the existing "gestures" but I think in combination of this we´ve got new possibilities. There´s a lot of potential. But pls note - I don´t see the the advantage only on my side - I´m working with handicapped youngsters - and by some clients the force touch engine might be a positive progress
Front facing speakers... Meh.... I never used it BUT! The audio-chips are totally great!!! I´m a little bit audiophil. And I think the upgrade from my OP1 should be working "nice" for my headphones - specifically for my B&W P5 wireless

It's funny, you want force touch and I want front facing speakers. So with the Axon 7 it's a win-win!
You're right, back to topic. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it. The only tiny flaw for me is the protruding camera lens. Unfortunately that's standard nowadays. But apart from this it's almost perfect in my opinion.
Hey guys, this phone seems really appealing but I'm struggling to find reliable reviews of it. Currently undecided between this and that Oneplus 5... Anyone in a similar situation or have an opinion to share?
Well - in terms of specs this phone is really appealing, but don't know if they are gonna release a global version of the device.
I am in the same situation
regarding the love that the rom creators will bring in, i think that the oneplus will be the better choice, but i like the nubia and it's specs.
Plus, the price is unbeatable.
Haha yeah, I don't think there'll be much ROM support for the Nubia Z17, but already a few weeks or so after release they've pushed out a new OTA update, as well as updates for other phones. Hopefully they'll be well supported with Android O :/
I live in the UK so will have to import this model anyway, and found a great deal on:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/ZTE-Nubia-Z17-5-5-Inch-6GB-64GB-Smartphone---Black-380167.html
I used the Honey extension on Chrome and that saved me £20! It doesn't tell me what the code is unfortunately, so can't post it here for any that are interested.
I checked the bands/frequencies and it covers the UK ones I require, and it's a 'worldwide' model. It just seems a bit strange to me that even on the Nubia/ZTE site it's not on there. But I'm gonna go for it...
Plus those edge control gestures seem to actually be loads better than the Samsung and HTC U11 ones... Correct me if I'm wrong though!

Haha yeah, I don't think there'll be much ROM support for the Nubia Z17, but already a few weeks or so after release they've pushed out a new OTA update, as well as updates for other phones. Hopefully they'll be well supported with Android O :/
I live in the UK so will have to import this model anyway, and found a great deal on:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/ZTE-Nubia-Z17-5-5-Inch-6GB-64GB-Smartphone---Black-380167.html
I used the Honey extension on Chrome and that saved me £20! It doesn't tell me what the code is unfortunately, so can't post it here for any that are interested.
I checked the bands/frequencies and it covers the UK ones I require, and it's a 'worldwide' model. It just seems a bit strange to me that even on the Nubia/ZTE site it's not on there. But I'm gonna go for it...

How much did you end up paying?

£350 (not £20 in the end, just £10)
I have one and it's beautiful. Build and feel of the device is amazing. Problem is there is no Google Play/Framework support yet and no root or TWRP. So I'm pretty much waiting. I hear some suppliers are shipping them with global ROM's with Google support.
If anyone can link me to a Global ROM it would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to fully utilize this beast!
So how is the camera quality?

Beat review and camera samples I could find:

I've also seen comparisons between this, Xiaomi Mi6 and Huawei P10 cameras where this seems to outperform them

Haven't done any comprehensive testing with it yet. But from my short time with it, it's really nice and has some cool features. I always enjoy Nubia's camera software suite.

Do they release their kernel sources early?

Not that I have seen. I check out the Nubia forums daily to see if there's any development
正在使用z17，唯一困扰我的就是目前不能解锁bl和root，我期待能够使用原生的android rom，nubia ui真的不好用

Is using z17, the only trouble I am now can not unlock bl and root, I look forward to be able to use the original android rom, nubia ui really hard to use
Does anyone think it's weird that there aren't many reviews and basically no xda forum on the Z17? Is it just because it's mainly confined to China for now (despite there being a global version available to buy/import online)? Kinda starting to question my purchase now XD

It's still a very new phone. Forum pages on here take a while to spin up for rare Chinese phones. Things will slowly begin to develop and trickle in.

Thank you for your translation
This phone goes toe to toe with OP5 but better priced. If kernel sources are made available then we'll see development for sure.
