Well, I don't know if this was a broad hint and if it was directed at me 
but I'll respond anyhow. ;)
I can at least report about the status on ArchosG9 and Nexus7.


Personally, I think, the most important issue is still the non-working 
networkmanager applet.
There are some workarounds but non I'd call "enduser suited".

I already invested quite some time into trying to debug this but 
couldn't come up with a solution yet.
In fact, I can't even roughly pinpoint where this problem is located.

It's "simply" that the nm-applet doesn't receive any mouse events after 
it was opened.
The icon and the applet seem to receive the equivalent of "right-click" 
events: in both cases the same pop-up menu appears.
I forced the right click even by tinkering with the button mask via some 
xinput utils.

During the tries to fixing this I played with lots of added debugging 
statements in the involved code.
QML-wise, the touch events seem to be not forwarded to the QML part at all.
On the C++ side the results are also "strange". It seems like only the 
first key-press is forwarded to the applet and then the rest is just 
ignored/filtered/masked, whatever.
I don't recall all the details as there was quite some time between the 
different debugging attempts.
You can find the last patch of my last try here:

Additionally, the media center does not seem to work correctly.
At least the Nexus7 version can only playback hw-accelerated video via 
bangarang but iirc the ArchosG9 version didn't produce any video output 
with the media center either.



Well, this is just the very quick feedback.
Unfortunately, I cannot invest that much time into this right now...
I hope this feedback is useful and that there will be a solution at 
least for the nm-applet issue.
