Hi,
Kindly your assistance:
I would like to use MK808B for displaying splitted screen interface:
1. 1/3 screen local video clip
2. 1/3 screen rolled local notifications (can be updated by me online)
3. 1/3 news feed from 3rd party web site
Is there any way to preform that?
Regards,
Kokofiko

Those are the overall improvements of Honeycomb 3.1 .... NOT specifically applied to individual build numbers...etc
Acer tech just read the book to you listing all the improved features of HC 3.1 .... NOT the build specifically.

Nice, Updates for those already updated while I'm still on 3.0.1 . Ahahhaa. Can someone do a logcat and trace the location so we can have access to this update whenever we need it???
same for the update to 4.10.30

Basic Wireless Mirroring for Android
Intro
There have been times when it would have been useful to output an email, website and other file on my phone to a public monitor or display. There have been various ways of doing this over the years, the TV Out function on the old Touch Pro devices, DLNA streaming, and HDMI ports. But, so far I have not found a way to directly replicate the screen, (mirroring) without the use of wires.
I have seen many threads from people who have asked this same question, and each time they have been told it's not possible, for various reasons. This project is to explore ways in which, however crudely to begin with, we can make this happen, and I have written a short brief below of why I believe it may now be possible. I am asking for help from anybody who thinks this may be achievable, or has something to offer that may help us in any way.
Theory
To create basic DLNA mirroring of your Android device for low frame-rate applications such as mail, browsing, and others. It is important to realize that it is highly unlikely to be able to create full DLNA mirroring for applications such as games using the proposed method, but who knows what can happen?
The basic mechanism would be to take continuous screen captures, between 1 and 30 per second, compress the screen captures into a suitable file format that can then be transmitted via DLNA.
I believe this should be possible - I have read that the new Sensation Camera App can record natively in MP4, in HD, in real time, which is fantastic, because as I understand it, MP4 works perfectly with DLNA. I have also noticed that in recent versions of Android, (I think FoYo+) there are parameters for ScreenCapture.
There may be a large lag using this method, but it is a start, and for showing a web page, text conversation, book, or text message, wirelessly on another display, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
From what I understand, not all Kernels would be able to do this but I am unsure, so if anybody has any theories, let me know!
Suggested Basic Features
These are features that I think should be included as standard
1) Be able to predefine video bit-rate and frame rate via user controlled variable integers.
2) View the temp folder
3) Disable auto-orientation settings to prevent screen tearing.
Suggested Advanced Features
These suggested features are a kind of wish-list once we can get a basic app running well enough.
1) Direct camera monitoring - sending the image directly from the camera to the external display. (Probably resulting in BIG lag!)
2) Custom external screen resolution, possibly by upscaling to 720/1080 equivalent via screen density.
3) Ability to kill screen backlight, but keep capacitive control for scrolling web pages etc.
4) Output file to SD card for archiving.
5) Switch audio between device and external screen.
6) A "Start / Stop" widget.
7) Enable notification bar settings access.
If you want this concept to work, think you can help in any way, have an opinion or have anything to contribute at all, get involved!
News
I have made a blank app with the essential UI components.
IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY FUNCTIONALITY YET, IT IS JUST A DUMMY!!!!!!
Download it HERE and tell me what you think so far.
If anybody thinks they can help with the core of the app, please get in touch!
I love the idea
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Same here.
My home page shows My Library at the top and contains a free Jeffery Archer book, the Nexus 7 manual and a Transformers game which I'm unable to use in the UK. If I tap the book widget I get a screen headed Google Play which also contains the above books. Is this a fault or am I just being too thick to sort things out?
I got some brand new, unopened watches of the bankrupt company TOMOON for tinkering.
technical data:
Screen: E-ink
Screen size - 1.73"
Resolution- 240x320 pixels, 16 shades of grey
OS - Android 4.3
CPU - MIPS 1 Ghz from Ingenic
RAM - 512 Mb
ROM- 4 Gb (about 2.5 Gb is available)
Bluetooth - version 4.0+EDR
Battery - 270 mAh
Weight- 37.5 g (the watch itself); 49,5 g (with the original leather strap)
microUSB for charging and data transfer
Housing - made of high quality 316L steel.
Wrist strap - made of genuine high-quality sheep leather. Specially made fixators for easier change of the strap
Production date - 2015-2016
The company doesn't exist anymore. (quite an interesting story, gonna tell it later)
The original application for connecting to the phone is dead (since the server used for autorisations is dead as well).
So, only third-party software can be used. Actually WatchDroid works just fine.
The installation of any Android software is allowed by default.
There is root available too.
But there is a problem: If the watch dial set to the original one (showing info about weather, steps and location) and the watch language is set to English (or any other language except Chinese) the original launcher crashes , though English is meant to be a valid option - it's possible to call the language settings through ADB: "adb shell am start -a android.settings.LOCALE_SETTINGS" and there are English/Simplified Chinese/Traditional Chinese options to chose from.
By the way, older firmwares don't seem to have this problem.
And if the watch dial is changed to any other (which don't show info about location, and weather), setting the watch to English (or any other language) works just fine. No crashes.
The problem is, changing the dials is only possible through original (dead now) phone application, the cracked version I got from a friend in China. But that version is bound to my phone and can't be used on any other. So, if I change my phone, or lose it, I lose the ability to change dials and use the watch in English.
I know, that some of Chinese guys worked it out and made a little app allowing to change the dials (and even allowing users to customise them) just from the watch.
I can't figure it out, how to change dials without an original application.
Is there anybody who would like to get it done? If yes -
I'm going to send a brand new TOMOON T-FIRE METAL watch as a gift to that person! Totally free.
The company went bankrupt, so anybody can tinker with their software and hardware, without any legal problems.
What do I have and can provide:
There is the last firmware (update package with ADB .bat files for autoupdating)
There is the root package (also ADB with .bat file)
There is an original application (doesn't seem to work on the new Android versions)
There is a cracked one, but it doesn't work without an unlock file, which must be obtained by the seller.
Firstly, apologise if in wrong thread - cant think where else to post this
I've been avoiding getting any 'Smart assistance' device as I personally couldn't see the point - I usually use mobile phone for reminders/notes/ shopping list etc
Anyway, this Xmas got one as a present (As mentioned in title - it's the Dot 5th Gen, the plain version with No built in clock/temp display)
Looking into what can ACTUALLY be done with these now that I have one & I'm beginning to like the idea of turning on/off stuff based on times/schedules etc
e.g When sunset switch on living room side lights / If rooms is too hot (The 5th Gen dot has a temperature sensor) then switch on a fan - you get the idea
So been looking at 'Smart plugs' / 'Extension leads' & (I think they're called 'WiFi inline switches' where you cut the cable & wire them inline) like a 'Sonoff'
Here's the problem
- there's so many to choose from & (based on Youtube videos) they all seem to require you to download an App to 'pair' the socket with phone, sign up an Account THEN you use Alexa App to pair with the downloaded app, so I'm getting confused over which is better/easier etc.
I don't what to be 'tied in' to a certain company, in case they go bust, discontinue products or change their policies (I've seen stories of companies changing their Free services to subscription after a time)
On subject of having to 'sign up for an account' - Why ??
What is the point of signing up for an account if (most probably) I would only be using the device(s) while in the house using my own Wifi - as in Phone/Dot sends a request through my Wifi to the attached socket directly
- it's not as though my on/off requests are being sent via my Wifi over the internet to the 3rd party servers, they then check my account & what devices I own, then send a signal BACK over the internet to my wifi to turn on/off device - Or DO THEY ??
(FYI I doubt I'll will EVER use devices remotely while out of the house anyway, I'm on a PAYG mobile plan that doesn't give 'Free Data' so doing this would cost me ££££ if I tried)
What is the benefit of 'Having an account' ?
Why do we NEED to have one ??
What's the benefit of having a 3rd party app doing the same thing the Alexa/Dot app can do ? - (other than needed to pair with socket)
So.......
[Q] Can anyone recommend suitable power plugs, Extension leads etc that easy to set up, preferably without having to have 'yet another app' installed & especially where the company doesn't require you to sign up an account.
I know Amazon do their own plugin sockets that Alexa app can see without additional pairing/3rd party app, but 1: more expensive, 2: seems bulkier than others I've seen & 3: they only do a plugin socket - they don't offer stuff like extension leads.
Are there any other devices that work the same way as Amazons own version that connect directly to the Alexa App ??
Any help appreciated & Thanks in advance
