Questions to 70it2 / 70B owners - Gen8 General

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.

He haven't written his model, is it a froyo or HC version?
If you have a froyo version try the SDE menu enabler make by Letama works like a charm (thanks again to you ).

Yes, I assumed it was Honeycomb one as it has been a long time since I haven't seen a froyo IT2, I presumed it's an extinct race

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.

Stock Roms for ZTE BLADE

Here are stock roms for differant european countries and the service providers
Play (PL): ZTE Blade - TFT screen
http://www.multiupload.com/NWQEJUI6D2
Is there any stable 2.2 rom in the stock?
No 2.2 as yet, but there may be one (or more!) very soon -- from China and/oe Japan. Whether they'll work on any/all the European Blades without any modification remains to be seen. But if you want 2.2, MoDaCo has a very usable Alpha 4 based on the pre-release Froyos.

I think Orange in UK has responsibility to release offical 2.2 rom for their customers. Most of the other brand name android phone are going to release 2.2 rom upgrade for their customers at the end of this year.
Did the links work for you?
I just wanted to download the ok-mobile rom as a backup. Just in case i should get a hardware issue during warranty time....
But I always get a 404 error or a not allowed.

We've had mixed messages from Orange about 2.2. Perhaps they'll go straight to 2.3, assuming they bother at all!
The only European provider that has indicated they'll soon be doing a 2.2 for their version of the Blade is the Greek one. But AFAIK it's not confirmed and it's vaguely coming "in the New Year".
Wind announced that Greek version will get an official froyo update in the beginning of 2011

I think you may be mistaken, 1 gig will be the minimum requirement for 3.0. There is no minimum for gingerbread afaik.
The confusion may have came from when gingerbread was fist announced and we all thought it was 3.0, at around the same time the system requirements for 3.0 were released.

Could someone please reupload the finnish stock rom (onevstarting with EFI). I'm in desperate need in returnig to stock rom because I noticed my ZTE Blade has a yellow tint at the bottom of the screen and I can't replace the handset with custom ROM.
All help much appreciated.

[Q] honeycomb on the vega?

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.

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

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!
Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

[Q] No Custom Roms?

am i missing something or there really is no custom ROM for Flipout? no cyanogen, MIUI, cronos or anything? the only custom rom i found is (ROM) FlipDroidMod2.1_SoftMod[wip](no blur) ..is that all? i don't wanna complain or anything.. i'm just surprised as i have Milestone and there's plenty of ROMs for that one though it has locked bootloader like Flipout..

it was an auction server like ebay.. some guy bought it last month, tried it and didn't like it so i bought it from him for 238$ which was pretty good since i'd have to pay 415$ if i wanted to buy it by myself from a shop.
here i can find it for 110 euros
http://www.monclick.it/schede/motorola/SM2102AD3H1/flipout.htm
I started forgetting shops and ebay for phones:
- online stores or mobile providers for phones
- ebay for covers, repair kits, batteries and accessories
btw, I'm using it @500mhz with no prob (you can set it to max 250mhz too to save battery) so it can support gingerbread easily
Motorola is quite strange: it uses .sbf roms instead of common .zip ones
So clockwork recovery must be ported and then roms can be cooked easily I guess
With this price it can find a place in many pockets and the physical keyboard is a plus for it

110EUR is a great price.. maybe even a weird price
i'd get it from online store as well but than that offer came up so i took advantage of it.
anyway, it seems to have the same processor (Cortex-A8) as my Milestone/Droid so it might be a good thing to port it from other Motorola device like this. Well that might sound pretty stupid 'cause it might be so obvious.. i really don't know anything about porting, sorry. I also have Openrecovery which seems to be a port of clockwock. Guess i'm gonna ask somebody with porting experience..

first, i actually meant just Milestone, not Milestone XT..
second, TI OMAP3410 is Cortex-A8 based..
OMAP is apparently something like chipset (SoCs) so though Milestone has different "chipset" from Flipout.. both have the same CPU core (Cortex-A8) though the devices still might be running different frequencies as the Cortex has wide frequency scaling range
..so it still might be a chance for a good porting base... i guess..
and the price seems to me suspiciously low, but that might be only because in here the Flipout is expensive.

I just got an unlocked flipout...kind of impulsively when I thought I had lost my phone (less than 1 year into its 2 year contract)....probably wouldn't have if I had read the forum first. But, my old phone turned up....
So, if there's a way to upgrade its ROM, I'm interested. And, I'd be interested in helping....its been a long time since I've done anything like this, but sounds like something I could dive into now (though I may still activate my FlipOut just so I can get data occasionally when I'm not near WiFi...)
The Dreamer.
So.. i have my new Flipout. Gotta tell it's an awesome thing.. though the display is really bad. Anyway, i already had to flash it several times i hated the old lockscreen so i modded framework-res with resources from froyo..but it has some weird issue which i hope get fixed somewhere in the config files.
Another thing.. phone memory. I'm not an app freak but i like my.. apps, ok i'm a freak. Anyways.. i'm already running low on phone storage so right now i'm heading for memhack.. if anyone already done that with Flipout, let me know.
EDIT: ok, i've just built in memhack and it's working now so never mind. if anyone interested, i can post instructions.

Galaxy note on its way

So.... today i dropped my phone (htc desire HD) and smashed the screen
and it really annoyed me for such a stupid mistake so i decided to cheer myself up and get another t mobile line out.
worst thing is my contract runs out in august so i only had a few months to wait.
but anyway.... i took the 2nd line and choose the galaxy note.
few questions.....
what will this start on? will it be 4.0.4 or will it be 3.2 something or other?
if its the 3.2 how hard is it for me to get straight onto 4.0.4?
will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.
note don't run on 3.x, most likely you will get a 2.3 phone. 4.03 was released few days ago in germany.
enjoy the wiki while you are waiting for the phone.

but not sure if its worth the root just for the 4.0

No need to root if you don't need or want to. Look at other threads for instructions.
Sent from my GT-N7000

any chance of a link to where i read up on this?
as i've just had a quick look and from what everyone is saying, its only released in netherlands and germany
Can someone link me to where this 4.0 is, cant seem to find it.
and does it matter than im in london, UK?

So.... today i dropped my phone (htc desire HD) and smashed the screen
and it really annoyed me for such a stupid mistake so i decided to cheer myself up and get another t mobile line out.
worst thing is my contract runs out in august so i only had a few months to wait.
but anyway.... i took the 2nd line and choose the galaxy note.
few questions.....
what will this start on? will it be 4.0.4 or will it be 3.2 something or other?
if its the 3.2 how hard is it for me to get straight onto 4.0.4?
will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.

note is great but i would recommend u to go for S3! Note is just a multimedia master, all time champ, throw any thing and it will F*** that in less than u can blink ur eye but S3 is also a good phone..... lols
any ways on the serious i would recommend u to go to S3 cause it is better in terms of software than Note. samsung is not giving a **** about Software of Note. only one official rom and that also full of bricky ****.... Go for S3! it has more bright future!

reason i went for note was....
I have a phone and a tablet, when im out i use my phone (htc desire HD)
indoors i use my tablet, so i thought i'd get something that can do what my tablet does, thats why i chose the note.
I do like the look of the s3, BUT... i want a bigger screen and the note is perfect for what im after.
all i want now is a link to where i can get this 4.0 from? as once the note arrives to me on tuesday, i really dont want the 2.3 crap that comes on it.
So can anyone guide me to the right thread/place ect, so i can update my new galaxy note to 4.0 ???

Nope, running CyanogenMod9 with no problems at all! Gotta be careful though, be sure to read the warning sticky before doing any flashing. It is a bit of reading, but it can very well prevent you from hardbricking/superbricking your shiny new Note.

Sure can. I did. Just use PC Odin to flash the german ICS stock rom.
So where do I get this PC Odin and also the German ics?
And is there any downside to doing this? Like problems with the ics ?

You can, but the official ICS update contains an unsafe kernel that has already claimed Notes (don't know the details, but it's related to doing stuff in recovery). I wouldn't recommend official ICS if you plan on rooting/flashing.
