[Q] Archos 5 Android Tablet Gen 7 ROM Development

I am new to posting in forums but I'm eager to learn. I have limited experience with ubuntu and linux in general. I am a college student but I have good knowledge of computers and know some language including HTML, Visual basic, SQL, C, etc...
I have a Archos 5 Android 7502 160GB version and I am looking for information on how I would be able to get help developing a ROM update for the Archos. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH. I've been looking this up since I got the device in December.
I know many drivers need to be adapted to the ROM for the archos to be able to run it. I wanted to know what Application I should use and if I can only do it using ADB bridge. (I know little about how the bridge works)
I have the Developer Edition Firmware from openAOS installed on the Archos. This installs a bootloader that can be edited with menu.lst on the device default folder. I also have 3 ROMs I can boot to: 1. Android 1.6 (Default OS) 2. Froyo 2.2 (In Development) 3. Angstrom Linux (comes with developer driver)
It is my understanding that the source code is available for the Archos Gen 7 Tablets on the Archos website. (Can't link due to being a new user)
Also gingerbread has its source code released. (Can't find link, yet...)
I was wondering what steps would be involved in adapting the drivers for the ROM for the Archos Gen 7 Tablet?
Also how much time would be needed to finish the project?

Well I'm only going to tell u this it will be a hastle... and considering the archos 5 being one of the oldest tablets out there and the developers out there still not having froyo completley developed yet... I would guess that the project would be a VERY long project to work on. But I do incurage you to make a rom for the archos 5... Oh one question is it the archos 5 you have or the archos 5 internet tablet...

The guides in those forums are not for the 2013 Kindle Fire HD. Because this was never clear, many people bricked their KFSOWIs. I understand the index is for XDA, but all info for rooting KFSOWI is at KFSOWI modding on G+.
Also, the device specs and descriptions for 3rd gen 2013 KFHD are incorrect. There's no camera on the KFSOWI. Amazon's product page here links to the 2012 model (idiots!), so is also linked in your post.
Amazon's correct product page is here (It's misleading though, including HDX models with camera and other features...)

What is a Fastboot Cable
Factory Cable, Fastboot Cable, and Motorola Programing Cable are all the same thing.
The usb cable that came with the device , is just a stock usb data cable.
With a fastboot cable, Power (+) from pin 1, is moved to the normally unused pin 4.
Using a Fastboot Cable forces Some Amazon Fires into Fastboot Mode which will allow Flashing Firmware,

Motorola Uses
Many Motorola Devices are hardwired to bypass the battery, and power the device directly from pin 4.
"So you flashed your phone and now it thinks the battery is dead (even though it's not) and it won't let you flash it again to fix it? Or, your battery really is dead and you don't have a way to charge it because your phone is soft-bricked and won't charge the battery. What do you do? With this cable you don't even need a battery in your phone." - By Team Black Hat​

OP IS AWESOME!
I own several Kindle devices, and have used Shadow's guides in the past... but some how never came across this incredible index! Sometimes when attempting a project on an android device, most of the work is searching through XDA forums, this post is excellent and should be a model for other posts/devices.
This is an incredible resource! Just wanted to post and say bravo sir. :good::good:

Anyone got Real Racing 3 working on Fire TV box 2nd Gen ? (Guide needed)

I have just this week Purchased and Fully Rooted my New AMAZON FIRE TV BOX (with help of XDA's excellent guide).
I have been itching to get Real Racing 3 installed/sideloaded and working correctly on it.....i managed to Sideload it onto the FIRE TV BOX earlier today..but when i'm about to start the game it FORCE CLOSES !!
- If Anyone knows of a FIX for this, or has a GUIDE on how to get it running properly....i would really appreciate it if they would like to help.
(* I have my box FULLY ROOTED with rBox's Pre-Rooted Rom and custom recovery, which i'm kind of hoping will HELP ??!!)
if anyone has any other COOL suggestions or guides on what to do next after FULLY rooting FIRE TV 2nd Gen Box, please feel free to add those too
((already know everything about KODI and SPMC and its Addons, Builds, Wizards etc....so Don't Really need tips on that ))
(hope thats ok XDA Admin(s) ?)

Is there any way to get a PS Sixaxis Controller fully working on an Fire TVgen2 (sloane)

Hello Boys and Girls ...
The last 3 days i read in your Forum anything about rooting - especially the Fire TV gen2 (sloane)
My problem seems to be the software version which is running nowadays on my box: its 5.2.7.6 - i haven´t found any sort of unlocking or going back into older versions of Software.
So my question is: is there any way in getting back to older sofware - versions -which can be rooted
or is there any way in getting full bluetooth support (incl. right button force of a PS Sixaxis controller)
Thank you for your help - an sorry for my bad englisch .. is very rusty and i havent used it for many years..
Thanks for advice...
