Quote from: poyo on October 22, 2026, 01:27:51 AMI managed to get Karoo 3 Software running on the XCADEY ALPHA 800 – without root access!
The biggest challenge was porting Karoo 3 from Android 12 to the ALPHA's Android 8.1.
I developed a custom compatibility bridge to handle missing system services and an independent ANT+ host to overcome the sensor integration problems.
Heart rate, radar, Shimano Di2 via Ki2, and Power and other sensors are working through Karoo's native sensor management and extensions.   

Some issues remain, including UI compatibility, unsupported system functions, and the inability to use ANT+ radar and light control simultaneously.

If XCADEY provided an open SDK and opened up its sensor interface to third-party developers, we could add these features directly to the original ALPHA software without needing such a complex port.

One important thing: I'm not a programmer or software developer. All the coding, reverse engineering, and technical implementation was done for me by AI. I guided the project, provided the hardware, and tested the results.

It's an experimental port, but it demonstrates what the ALPHA 800 hardware is capable of!
I've attached a link to a demonstration video below.

Great work! SRAM lawyers are on their way to your house with guns

Wello, you seem to be an expert..
but this IS the case, i am tired of explaining all negative effects and rules i have to follow, and aliexpress sellers do not.
Try educating yourself before dumping a post like this.

You have to operate under the most regulated and taxed market in the world, and cheer when your competition gets crushed in return? You are a natural slave 

Ordered early july, latest update says mid october for raw and then another month for painting. So I can expect mine in late november, size 54

I ordered mine before and chose their website logo instead. I think it looks subtle and very slick. bold letters spelling out "LIGHTCARBON" has that unrefined, almost trashy and too literal tick for me. it just blatantly screams chinese

I also have a sunrimoon s42 (i think) and i'm happy with it. Shame it doesn't have pockets to fit sunglasses, and it is noticeably heavier than all 4 of my other helmets, but it looks good, fits good (although i had issues adjusting the straps at first) and the mesh so that insects cannot get in is really nice.

that's gore for weight weenies holy shit.. i always welcome competition but that weight and the 1x only made me lose all interest. tracevelo has one though, groupset news are always exciting

Just something I've read/heard twice already I think. I don't have both myself. i can't find the technical drawings but i would tend to believe that from how they sit on the bike. if anyone has both a side by side would be welcome

haven't some people speculated the drift was mainly a hardware issue?

Does anyone know of a 12 speed 11-40 cassette ? I swear i've seen one before and AI also says so but I can't find it anymore. 38 and 42 are fine too if these somehow exist but I hate the gap in the cassette market for 12 speed

I am mainly disappointed about the max tire rear clearance with 2x being 45mm. Seems like a step backwards. Their older gravel frameset LCG071 fit 50 with a front derailleur.

I ordered one early with the full intent of running 48.5mm WAM with a 2x. I will let you know how it works out because they seemed to be on the cautious side with their 45 claim so I have good hopes still. Also worth noting the 105 di2 may be bulkier but is apparently more outwards than latest r8100/r9200 FDs

no 12 speed here, but i have a small box of both 10 and 11 speed quick links from riderace, you know the ones. i left one pair overnight by accident soaking in white vinegar while degreasing and the quick link literally disintegrated. the actual shimano chain is totally fine. i get you're not really supposed to do that but it still worries me somewhat, unless someone has a solid explanation it kind of erodes my trust in them despite thousands of km running them no problem

I've also seen this riser handlebar in a few YouTube videos, and I actually prefer the way it looks. Does anyone know what model it is?

HBR17

Solved. Apparently using a good usb cable is a bad thing. Do not use a high performing cable because that triggers the BMS to shut down the battery. Using a low voltage cable worked perfectly fine. My apologies to rrskit for the many millions in damages my skepticism caused

this guy seems to know what he's talking about. i got the goldix recently but still waiting for the frame to test it

I picked up one of those usb c di2 charger adapters from RRSKIT, battery was at 40% something. After leaving it 30 minutes to charge on a known good USB A to C cable, the etube app asks if i want to connect to previously connected unit, and shows "there is no battery, or the battery does not have a sufficient charge. use a battery with sufficient charge, or charge and then reconnect the battery". RD button doesnt activate the LED at all

Any idea??
