I have had mine for several months now and it is a sweet device. I have the docking station and HDMI cable to the tv, a network storage hard drive with my movie colection and it plays them all with out converting, something my android 2.2 phone won’t do. I’m thinking about getting another one for the bed room. The remote that comes with the docking station is nice to.

I am trying this on a Archos 5 Internet Tablet, with the latest firmware. And I am having trouble getting results. I love this little Android tablet, but it seems as if Archos has moved onto a new platform (it seems with the new Android 2.2).. but I dread Archos has given up on updating its older models to Android 2.2 :(

I would love to see continued community support for updating the software on these older devices!

Everything seemed to work for me until i got to the “adb push system /data/test/system” it just tells me that “the system cannot find the path specified. I am very confused at the beginning of the whole command prompt steps. if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it! also, do you need to have the instsallation disk that came with the archos5 to make this work? thanks

How long will it be before we can expect android 2.x on the archos 5 IT? I have the 500gb tablet.

Thank you!

No, Garret. The A5IT is not on Android 2.0. It is on Archos Firmware 2.0.15. These do not mean the same thing. The Archos firmware will contain some version of Android, but it will not necessarily (and most often will not) be the same numbered version of the Android OS.

Just got my 5it yesterday, and it’s running firmware 2.0.15. Not sure if the hack above doesn’t work with this version or if I’m missing something else. adb seemed to successfully push everything down, but I don’t see any of the google apps showing up in my app list.
