I have recently tried to install a couple of Apps and been told that they were not compatible with my tablet.
Can I rebuild a later Android OS for my tablet? 15/9/2019
The Archos site is no use: https://www.archos.com/gb/support/downloads.html?type=tab
https://www.androidauthority.com/build-custom-android-rom-720453/
The two things that I would need help obtaining:
Grab the source – This is an easy step, however it takes a long time. For me it took over 24 hours. Such a large download only happens once, further syncing with the main source tree will be incremental.
Obtain proprietary binaries – The binary drivers should be unpacked in your working directory.

17/9/19 emailed Archos:
This Android Tablet is running Android 6.0 and I am now finding Apps that won't run on it. How can I upgrade it to a higher version of Android?
I am happy to try and build the OS myself if given the source and binaries neede, and possibly some instruction.
This would lead to the question - How to export/backup the current OS before attempting any updates, in case of failure.
Thank You, Peter Merchant

This will be quite a learning experience
