Android Developers needed for Raspberry Pi! - Raspberry Pi General

What’s a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a $35 credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

What SoC are you using?
The SoC is a Broadcom BCM2835. This contains an ARM1176JZFS, with floating point, running at 700Mhz, and a Videocore 4 GPU. The GPU is capable of BluRay quality playback, using H.264 at 40MBits/s. It has a fast 3D core accessed using the supplied OpenGL ES2.0 and OpenVG libraries.
Development for Android is slow going with only a few talented people so far, but due to the uniqueness of this project it is well suited for the coder interested in challenging and rewarding projects. Come join them!

Pretty cool, but pretty outdated also... Sincerely I prefer keep my money to buy something better (as Odroid-X, Exynos Quad Core powered for $129 ).

Not outdated. Simply not constructed to run Android. It's an educational system for people wanting to play around with GNU/Linux compatible hardware, not a cellular phone. Still, with enough lubrication, sure you can squeeze in Android, but it's not its purpose.

I tried it. It appears to run in emulator mode. It is very slow. It should be capable of running much faster considering the specs of some older devices which run ICS are running better.
I haven't had time to play with Android on this device much but it runs Linux well.

Once Broadcom releases the binary graphics stuff, it should be nice and fast.

Perfectly adequate for quite many uses. Not a gaming machine by a long shot, but for example someone with poor vision would definitely like the large screen, and with those specs it would browse the web just fine, handle e-mail and so on.

Atleast its specs are fine for ICS, and ICS is just as easy to compile as GB, so I see no reason why not.
It's probably adequate for minor tasks but such a large screen and a relatively low resolution on a low quality screen, I don't know... Definately not "holy ****" as far as I'm concerned. I doubt it's equiped with a decent GPU and that's one of the major requirements for running ICS.
Chances are it isn't even running Android, there are dozens of Chinese iPhone clones running a simple phone OS with iPhone icons and look.
Besides, how much support can you expect from these Chinese copycats as even the major companies are still struggling to update their top models to ICS?
Oh well, you get what you pay for I guess.

Compairing this and the original is obviously pointless. Yes, some people in China might buy it and yes, I'm sure they'll get some profit out of it.
As far as I'm concerned...I just wanna know if it's running real ICS. If it is...then I'm a bit pissed with our ORIGINAL Samsung devices

No, it's not. ICS can run even without any hardware-acceleration at all.

The MediaTek MTK6573 SoC is a fairly popular chip in use on hundreds of different existing Android-phones, there is no reason why it would suddenly run a non-Android OS on this one.
EDIT: Additional information here. Its video-playback capabilities are pretty poor and it only supports FWVGA resolutions, but aside from that it even sports a crude 3D-accelerator, and all the usual goodies like FM-radio, GPS, bluetooth, 802.11n, etc.

Did anyone buy one of these? I am tempted for my 11 year old. She loves Netflix (we only have one tv set and we don't let the kids use it much) and I saw a review that said the app works. She is currently using the non-activated cricket zte score I picked up for $30 a few weeks ago.

This tablet will be a lot better than the ZTE Score as far as hardware goes. The ZTE Score is only ARMv6/ARM11 which means no flash and limits gaming performance. Some apps like Temple Run only work decently on ARMv7.
The Cortex A8 isn't the latest generation, A9 is out, but at least the A8 can handle ARMv7 instructions. This tablet should handle games a lot better than the ZTE Score.
I wonder if you could get something like this to pull apps from the Android Market. It's right in the price-range of what I'd like to spend on a tablet right now for when I go in for chemo and am stuck in a bed for a while.

Sounds like I'm going to head to the local store and try to find one of these guys. Would be fantastic for reading and especially for my daughter.
Cheers mate
Tried to stop by one local store before they closed tonight at 9pm, and they didn't have any available. They were nice enough to call some other local stores to see if they have them available. Looks like there's a BL about 45 minutes away, but I'm not sure I want to make the trip that far while I'm dealing with chemo treatment and having just had gallbladder removal surgery.
I'll keep people updated, it seems there are a few sites with some information on the devices, but I'm still waffling since it's only a 480x800 resolution.
Lack of camera and the resolution is what is killing it for me. I almost went up there to buy it but then I remembered how much of an impulse buyer I am. I waited a little while then decided not to get it.
How did everyone make out with these.

[Q] Gamecube/Wii emulation on the Galaxy S4

I've been going around parading Dolphin being a viable option on the Snapdragon 600 model of the Galaxy S4 since it is the first device that will release with OpenGL ES 3 video drivers.
I want to know everyone's opinion. Do you think the Galaxy S4 will be capable of emulating the Gamecube and Wii?
Youtube video below shows the HTC Droid DNA emulating Super Smash Brothers Melee, although it is emulating the graphics on the CPU due to no OpenGL ES 3 drivers.
What do you think Internet?
Why not? Probably easier to ask the emulator devs on their forums though.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well. I'm actually the developer working on porting Dolphin to ARM devices.
I'm more looking for public feedback on what people think about it.
With that gamepad my GS4 will be an emulation machine...
This makes me look forward to it even more.

Where did you read this? PowerVR544MP3 won't be able to support OpenGL ES 3.
A Imagination Technologies representative was last heard saying that they will be able to backport "most" features of OpenGL ES 3 to current PowerVR hardware. Most doesn't mean very much when we make use of quite a few things from OpenGL ES 3.

Yeah right ,just a set of features,overlooked the important part!:silly:
The second part is some news about a subset of OpenGL ES 3.0 features that will be enabled retroactively on all PowerVR*Series5XT hardware. The entire lineup apparently has the hardware to enable these OpenGL ES 3.0 features as an optional extension inside OpenGL ES 2.0. Features include*multiple render targets; occlusion queries; seamless cube maps; sampler access from vertex shaders; floating point textures; GLSL full-precision floating point; R and RG textures; min/max blends; and multisample render buffers.*

I'd pay for that if that's what you are asking. You should start a donation pledge of some sorts. I'd give you $10 just for your work.
I do actually have a donation pledge going to get my hands on a Galaxy S4 with the drivers to work with.

Emulation of my favorite console games is a huge part of my decision to use Android phones. Screw angry birds, I'll play Chrono Trigger or the original LoZ.
The more generations of consoles we have, the better. I'd love to see a functional PS 1 and 2 emu...
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
I've released the pre-alpha APK with some more information on the Dolphin-emu forum thread with some caveats to understand.
Hopefully a wide audience feels like playing with it.

I don't know about the Gamecube, but I highly doubt that the current generation of phones will be able to emulate the Wii.
Interesting thing we've found when emulating the Wii is that most games(not all) tend to idle the CPU way more than on the Gamecube, so we can optimize that out. They tend to be heavier on the GPU than the CPU. The biggest limitation on these phones is really the GPU since they are only like <10% as quick as a reasonable Nvidia desktop card.

Thanks for keeping us informed on alternatives to the xp.
8gb storage, Micro TF card and no Bluetooth are killers. No specifics on playtime per charge. Also these things always have terrible descriptions. Hire a translator. Ex: Conflicting spec. page. One line says dual speakers another says single.

HDMI 2.0 is also a spec that is very welcome and as reported, it is included. BTW, everyone who wonders, 4K is useless if you do not have HDMI 2.0, you're limited to 24hz with 4K in HDMI 1.4b
the first boxes should come out around june-july, "as i read around".
Just a head up, the first wave of rk3288 comes with A12 processor, and second wave will be A17...we may as well wait for the A17. So careful when you purchase the new rk3288 device.

Hi! If I can add, moreover you must care about the device having Hdmi 2.0 and/or INPUT over Hdmi. A good addon at this point should be an Input Spdif .... and you could have an audio/video processing device.

RK3288 support HDMI 2.0 and I think in some video they said the Mini PC stick and box would have HDMI 2.0. I'm sure that someone will use HDMI 2.0 I don't think there is price diference between 1.4 and 2.0.
Hello! I believe in this way, too, but we have seen other devices being announced with Hdmi 1.4 and Rk3288, price still not known, and they cannot handle that the first grade K4 video!
