Android 2.2.1 for Archos 7 Home Tablet v2
The user “birdiebnl” on the ArchosFans.com forums has found a way to put Android 2.2.1 on your Archos 7 Home Tablet v2. I haven’t personally tried it yet but I wanted to share it nonetheless. 
Some of the features in this ROM include:
- A working version of Android 2.2.1.
- Sensors seem to work.
- The Google Market also seems to work.
- Build number froyo1.00 MASTER.eng.temp.20110225.134212.
- Everything else seems to work as expected.
There is even rooted version available by the user “hvdwolf”. This includes even more software. A link can be found in the topic below;
The ROM and installation instructions can be found here: Custom ROM for A7HTV2: Android 2.2 (7HTV2_22.03)
As clearly stated, keep in mind that this is not a valid way of updating your device and that it’s not guaranteed for you although it does for most people. And it could void your warranty, as far as I know. That’s the only thing which stopped me from trying it myself at this point. I’m pretty sure that curiosity will take over any time soon though.
If either “hvdwolf” or “birdiebnl” is reading this, keep up the good work guys!
