Mysterious Russian user tablet-guy from xda made the Archos Multimedia apps installable on other devices. According to him, the apps will install on a JellyBean(or higher) Android device which is not running the AVOS app yet. We thought it would be of interest to report about it.

“THREAD CLOSED” on XDA….
We asked the developer to clarify the situation, I will keep you posted. 🙂
The thread is now back up and we got a reply from the developer. There was a discussion about the Archos Video application which is now removed from the apps list, we have updated our article to include the change.
