Peloton Tread+ - Hardware Hacking General

Recently purchased both Tread+ and Peloton bike, and I was able to install APKs via adb on the bike. However, the bike will only run one app at a time. So I can watch netflix, but can't run the overlay of the peloton app. I even was able to install the custom navigation, but no luck on the split screen.
The bigger issue is not being able to sideload apks onto the tread+. The tread+ doesn't have a micro usb, but rather usb to usb. I have usb data cable but nothing happens when I try to connect my pc. Developer mode is enabled. I attempted to connect via wifi using adb commands as well. I am not very skilled at any of this, but I am willing to try. Ideas would be appreciated. I need to watch netflix when I run
Thanks!

I think the microusb port of the Tread+ may be on the back, where the display connects to the treadmill.

Confirmed - you can just pop the plastic top off the screen connector, and then pull the back off. There is a micro usb port back there.

Static electricity.. have read about it in some guides and articles..
The best would be to use a magnet attached to your USB cable. That should prevent shutting down... Digital camera's usually have included this kind of cables.. It's even required to meat some ISO guide-line

Use a USB cable with that bulky thing attached to it. Some network cables have them too... maybe you can take it off easy..
DO NOT USE A regular magnet!! it's too powerful and might damage more than you think!
thnks, ill try it and get back to you....

BT Keyboard Case MOD - OTG - USB HUB

Hello people!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) and I've been fantasizing with a very particular MOD.
I've seen this Blutooth Sliding Keyboard cases:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I would like to get it working thorugh OTG, and take advantage of the extra height o add a USB port for USB DRIVES using an integrated USB hub.
This way I wouldnt need to carry around an OTG cable, and wouldnt have the constant drain beause of the BT pairing.
My main roadblock at this time is wether I could get the keyboard working through USB (bypass the bluetooth interface) so it could get recognized by the phone.
Once I can sort this out, the rest of the mod should be quite straightforward.
I dont own the keyboard case yet, so If anyone has some previous modding experience could shed some light on the bluetooth matter, it would be of tremendous help!
Thanks a lot in advance.
I don't have the first idea how to do this but I am very interested!
I like a physical keyboard and I've had to import from the US or stick with very outdated phones....

Allwinner A20 Arabic IPTV box HELP firmware

Hi all,

The applications kept closing automatically so i thought if i'd update it then the problem would be fixed, however, once updated the box starts up with a red rectangle as you can see in the picture below.
So I need the to find the firmware for it to get it back and running,
I looked at few threads on here but wasn't sure if the firmware was compatible
here's an image of the system info that i got before messing the box up
Also it has 1gb ram and 4gb storage
THe box doesn't have an sd card slot only two usb ports and i have no way to enter the recovery system, that I know of.
Here a picture of the board and the back
I tried connecting the box to the computer using usb-to-usb cable howver this only gives the box power doesn't see it. But i came across this guide where i need to press on two legs on the motherboard and it shows up on the pc. Here's the pictures of the guides:
So I managed to connect the box to the computer via USB using the method that I stated above using a pin and then and connecting the usb to the pc. Howver the device is coming up as Unknown in device manager not sure if it should?
Can someone tell me how I can assess recovery or adb?

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor
You know that old HP touchpad was a great tablet but it's just been sitting around for years now. You can't bring yourself to throw it away but what on Earth could you use it for?
Hi, my name Steve Shockmonster and I'm here to tell you how you can turn any old Android tablet into a secondary screen for your computer. By installing an app on both your pc and Android device, you can activate an extended display setup. This will allow you to move your open windows to your tablet by dragging it off screen.There are many practical uses for this feature and almost anyone would be able to take advantage of this.
So what app do you need to get this working? Well I've put together a list that will get you all setup.

Popup menu on OTG

I recently tried connect an thumb drive via OTG cable on my H870DS, and each time a popup prompted me to selected the connection mode (see screenshot attached). Is anyone having similar?
I'm wondering what each option means, and how to change it if I made one a default. Thanks

1st option is to charge your phone, 2nd is to charge something connected to phone, 3rd and 4th are for file transfers,don't know what 5th is, as u stated u connected with u need to select file transfer and click just once on the bottom or click always depending on what ur needs are, u can always change it in developer options, hope this helps.
I have the same problem with my h870ds. That menu pops up but no OTG devices are ever recognised whatever option you choose. No good answer found for this.
Same issue, used to work fine. Now I cant get it to work at all.
