[Q] Connect to projector? [SOLVED - Nope] - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking to get some Laptops or Android Tablets for work. Mainly for things like powerpoint presentations etc.
Can this be connected to a Projector? I'm guessing it would require an adaptor if it could... The projectors use a VGA connector.
EDIT: Nope
Hey ,
The tablet doesn't have HDMI out capability and its not going be capable
of transmitting a presentation from the tablet to the projector. I'd be
glad to offer suggestions however I cant think of a tablet with that
capability. Good luck I'm sure you'll find one if you look hard enough.
Regards,

You can use this. I use it through my google homepage.
I think what you need is: http://www.jeyo.com/companion.asp With it you can send normal sms messages from your phone from your desktop while connected through activesync/wmdc
The outlook plug-in mentioned must be from the same company i.e. http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
have a look. the apps are not free though
Yeah, what you are looking for is called the Jeyo Mobile extender. I use it, and 't works perfect. Download the trial from the site, and if you like it, buy it. its only 20 USD or so.
that callwave service is AWESOME! i wish there was some way to run it on my tytn though; explorer doesn't load the page... there should be some app that lets you do it!!

capture ur phone screen to your desktop
what i do is i have a software which let me control my pocket pc on my desktop it opens up the phone screen on my laptop and i can just move around and do anything with it, u can use VNC viewers i use
Remote Display Control (v2.03)
The Remote Display Control application is a way to remote the display and keyboard/mouse/touch screen of a windows CE device (it works on both wm5 and wm6 version of pocket pc also i am using it on hermes) to a desktop. The application itself uses TCP/IP and can work over ActiveSync connections (to the Host Desktop, no routing off of the host), via Ethernet (to any reachable Desktop, does not include any support for proxy servers etc) or dialup.
Remote Display control works on any platform running Windows CE version 2.11 or later.
Three different types of people use this application:
Marketing/Sales: Useful to demonstrate applications on the device, can be used to get the screen display on a large screen (much better then an Elmo in most cases).
PM/Devs: Useful to get screen shots of applications or for developers that are happy not switching keyboards/displays too often when doing UI tweaking or bug fixing.
BSP Developers: BSP's (Board Support Packages) are the low-level software written to allow Windows CE to work on a device. This includes the OAL (OEM Adaptation Layer) and drivers for the hardware device. The client will function as a display driver so that people who either don't have the hardware or haven't written the driver yet can use this in place of the real display/keyboard/mouse driver, with remote connect it could be installed into headless devices as an alternate way to manage them.
Installation directions:
Connect device to desktop via ActiveSync 3.1 or higher.
Run RemoteDSP.exe from the desktop.
Features:
Desktop - You can click and type as if you were on the device.
Desktop - You can Zoom by 1, 2 or 3 times.
Desktop/Device - For devices that support cursors you can use tools\Send all mouse move and you'll have the amazing remote dancing cursor. Don't bother doing this for non-cursor devices, you'll just make everything slower.
Device - After configuring correctly with hostname and refresh time it you can run "cerdisp -c" either via Start/Run or on PocketPC create a .lnk file that has "19#\windows\cerdisp -c" in it (no quotes). It will run and connect automatically.
Device - Supports 2 bit, 4bit, 8 bit and 16 bit displays
Device - Run's as a Dialog with a ShellNotifyIcon (i.e. icon in the tray).
Running Remote Display Control:
Via Active Sync connection -
1. Ensure that the device is connected the the desktop using Active Sync 3.1 or higher.
2. Launch desktop host by clicking Start -> Programs -> Remote Display Control - Remote Display Control Host.
3. On the device, tap on Start -> Programs -> cerdisp.
4. Tap OK -> Connect
5. Leave Hostname as PPP_PEER and tap OK
Via Ethernet -
1. Ensure that the host PC has an installation of the Remote Display Control host.
2. Launch desktop host by clicking Start -> Programs -> Remote Display Control - Remote Display Control Host.
3. On the device, tap on Start -> Programs -> cerdisp.
4. Tap OK -> Connect
5. Enter the machine name of the host PC as it appears on the network in the Hostname box and tap OK.
NOTES:
The desktop version number must match the client version number.
Cursor based devices will have the cursor may blink at every screen capture.

Remote Display Control (v2.03)
The Remote Display Control (v2.03) application work's great!
In my opinion better than Jeyo for Outlook, although a great idea, didn't work for me entirely. I wanted to keep all sent items on my device and more often than not, it wouldn't connect, even though ActiveSync had. I was using Outlook 2003 + ActiveSync 4.5. Don't worry, I'm not looking to solve this problem. I gave up after experiencing this several times.
Cheers naufil, pointing me in the right direction.

Yah, callwave is pretty cool. I jumped the gun and signed up for their free voicemail service. I cancelled it like 20 minutes after that. It brings your voicemail's to your desktop(i use a mac and adds them on a widget). But it replaces your providers voicemail so you get voicemail notifications through a text (not the voicemail symbol) and have to call their voicemail number to retrieve from your phone... valiant effort but didn't want to give up my voicemail notification... or something like that.
It would be cool if a operator would adopt their system.

Gen 8 hardware support status in GNU/Linux

Just a quick post, since I've been really busy with exams and such lately. I'm not sure how much of this is documented, so I figured I'd start. Some stuff I figured out by myself - accelerated video playback / 3D / DSP / touchscreen; others I read about. If you need any details on a section, let me know.
What works on the Gen 8 tablets:
-> 2D accelerated X server (omapfb)
-> Accelerated YUV video output + overlay (omapfbsink / omapfbplay)
-> Audio (perfect, both playback and recording)
-> 3D acceleration (PowerVR - works perfectly, the demos all run great, and QML is slick as anything )
-> Touchscreen (no weird clicking bugs if you use the plpvtech driver)
-> Front camera (works great with gstreamer and omapfb)
-> WiFi (both AP and client)
-> DSP (with gst-dsp and bridgedriver)
-> USB Gadget / USB Host
-> Hardware buttons
-> Accelerometer (not tested - but should be simple enough)
What doesn't work at the moment:
-> Rotation. Grrr. Need to look at this.
It looks as if this baby is going to be an excellent candidate for Kubuntu 11.10 when it comes out... Can you say KDE with OpenGL ES?

Mapping a wacom tablet to screen?

I hope this isn't an odd question, but I know you can connect a Wacom or similar graphic tablet to your Nexus 7 through usb otg, and it will work, including pressure sensitivity, but is there any way to map, or adjust what part of the graphic tablet will map to what part of the Nexus 7 screen? This is possible on computer.
The reason I ask is my graphic tablet is used in landscape always, while the Nexus 7 will only map it in portrait, even if it's turned to landscape. So I have to write or draw very wide to make it show correctly on the nexus. If there were a way to map just half the graphic tablet so it's closer to one to one on the Nexus 7, I'd love to know. Right now, it's almost a perfect portable art tool for me (without having to pick up a Galaxy Note that is )
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello,
It's been some time now. Have you made it work? I've got graphire3, which has no usb port and can only be connected via Bluetooth. My nexus7 pairs to it, shows the movement, but you can't click on anything...
I was thinking the same thing today and was about to make a thread about it. It does work fine when the device is in portrait mode but not in landscape mode. This sucks because Sketchbook Pro (my go to for drawing) only works in landscape mode. I'm also looking for an answer for this.
Wacom do have some Linux drivers but I have no idea how they can be ported over to the Android platform. Hope some devs see this and are willing to help us out.

Somebody showed how to create an input device configuration for a Wacom: Google for "Using a Wacom Bamboo with the Nexus 7: Part 1: Making it work (kind of)" or just go to mjlim.net (I cannot post links, yet)
However, my Bamboo Connect (CTL-470) is not even recognized: it is powered and detected by the Linux kernel but not by Android. So not cursor appears. I already posted a feature request...
Just found this thread as had the same idea
does not currently work on Andorid 4.2
was hoping to maybe get the smallest intuos3 as a travel device as i dont like the stlyus offerings at this time
and i have a lot of practise with the intuos 3 tablets...
ant Devs passing though could have a look - would be most welcomed
This is what worked for me...
Use the following command to find the name of your devices.
adb shell dumpsys input | grep -i wacom​
In my case, the device names are:
Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pen
Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Finger​
Create the following two files, using the device names:
/system/usr/idc/Wacom_Bamboo_2FG_4x5_Pen.idc
/system/usr/idc/Wacom_Bamboo_2FG_4x5_Finger.idc​
The contents of those files are the same:
touch.deviceType = default
touch.orientationAware = 1​

Hi Bunny
what is this for
- for the mapping on the wacom to the android device
-or just to get it working on an android device
currently i have nexus 7 (2012) with 4.4 and i can connect my wacom intuos 3 and its recognized
but when using a programme such as sketchbook mobile
drawing a circle comes out as an oval due to the difference in Orientation between the screens
please advise

Since your digitizer works (is recognized), I would try the following:
Change all settings in any idc files you've changed to "default". On my tablet, idc files seemed to require at least the following line to work:
touch.deviceType = default​
Examine the output from "dumpsys input". In particular, look for "Translation and Scaling Factors". Make sure you're looking at settings for the right device (touch vs pen). What you probably want is for XScale = YScale.
Search Google for:
site:source.android.com devices tech input touch-devices​
Edit idc files, restart tablet, try digitizer.
Repeat.
Good luck.

TomTom NB-1 - Mazda CX-5 - Android Froyo

It looks like the built-in navigation unit in my Mazda CX-5 2014 is running Android when looking in the software upgrades.
http://www.mobilescommunity.com/tomtom-navcores/194666-nacore-10-815-mazda-nb1-live.html
To get to the Android part (using linux):
.cab -> ttsystem -> contentfs.gz -> contentfs.tar -> rootfs.img.new
Here is content from the extracted rootfs.img.new
http://www.mediafire.com/?15v8kpw58i4x450
From the build.prop it says SDK 8 Version 2.2.1, so Froyo?
I am digging through the jars and apks but I don't have much experience in ROM construction.
Can anyone land a hand and tell me how far off is it from a functioning android OS?
Note this is an SD based system with no internet connection (at least the North American version).
If there is any mention to the car USB or Bluetooth profiles, that would be the only way to get some online functionality.
I hope someone here knows more than me and owns this car so we can get more out of it.
Thanks!
Hi MaXKiller,
i have found some interesting info regrading linux source code for the distribution:
http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/opensource/mazda-nb1-9/
Do you think we could modify/recompile ttsystem for the unit ?
You can find more details here: http://www.tomtom.com/page.php?Page=GPL40 as well.
Thanks.
celkom.
