Hi,
Ii bought my Archos device knowing it is a great developer device - anyway im not into porting linux,...
As there are many mobile OSes and i really want a "normal" linux on my 101 too, I thought about gathering all Informations about the different OSes so it's easier to choose one :D

Anyway this is what i know for now (will just include latest versions - unless there are different develoment stages):

Android:



  • Honeycomb (3.0 ...)
    • we will never see - due to missing sources
  • ICS (4.0 ...)
    • ICS for Gen8 (wip, to be released)
  • ...
other Linux:




  • Meego
    • noting yet, really like too see :D



If u now ask - how to use them - here is the answer:

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT OSes OR FOR BUGS,... this is just for gathering information about available OSes.
Thanks

As I can't search for all those on myself I'll be happy to get some help:
love to see post like "UD 1.5B4 is out -> LINK" :D
and please correct me if im wrong with information provided...

Last but not least THANKS to all DEVs like Sauron, Bubu, letama, Sibere... :D

last changes:
- bug fixes
- Ubuntu install guide

check out: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ARM/Archos101it

Cool, but I don't understand everything in Tut's. :eek:
Even could be a bit risky. Someone of the coders here should make an Image and upload it for all of us. :cool:
A Video would be nice to see the responsiveness.

1. As the RC4 is in the developer thread, it can't be a mainrealese.
2. RC4 also implies that it's not release.
3. It is based on 2.4.80.
4. This is the developer part, so you can't expect anything here is released.

Are any of these firmware versions suitable for an Archos 70 Internet Tablet HDD version? (originally a 250Gb model, upgraded to 1Tb) - model A70H according to the recovery screen.
I'm trying to repair this, as it won't boot, but the firmware on the Archos site won't install.

As the A70H is a Gen8 Device they basicly should work.
