[Q] Can Android Support USB Camera - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Archos Tablet ... I was wondering if it can support a USB Camera? If anyone can share some light on this?

it will be but not now.......(at least i haven't seen before)
chipset of ANDR devices is not a problem.....maybe system problems?
but i think a later version android will support USB camera

oh ok ... i was hoping that it can be done and the next time it will be a nice optional add on for a lot of peeps here ...
is there any developer here willing to take on this please PM me.

[Q] Is MirrorLink software only or hardware as well?

Does anyone know if the mirrorlink technology in the S3 is a software only thing added to the phone or is there a hardware component (besides the MirrorLink head unit).
Im hoping Software only so that it can be added to other phones like the Galaxy Nexus. Anyone have any idea how MirrorLink works on the S3?
There is no special hardware requirement but just ripping the APK and putting it on another phone won't work either:
The operating system needs to be modified to enable VNC etc.
So, it won't be so easy to enable it in another phone I'm afraid.
Well that is a bummer! But thanks for letting me know. Do you think someone will be able to tweak MirrorLink on the S3 to allow full control of the device instead of specific apps like there is now?
This maybe possible.
Although it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be displayed.
The headunit (Mirrorlink client) has the final word on which applications will be allowed.

Okay thanks...all I want to be able to do is see and control my android phone from a bigger touchscreen. Different options out there- I was hoping MirrorLink would be the answer.
Hi Guys just asking for a bit of an update - i was looking at upgrading my head unit to the Alpine ICS x-8 which also supports mirror link - there is a demo out on youtube which shows it working with the Galaxy S2! Do you guys think this would work with the S3? HAs anyone had any experience of this combo?
You will need a lot of software stack working together in your phone firmware.
USB 2.0 is the only hardware requirement which is almost available to most recent smartphone.
I am waiting for HTC phone which includes this mirrorlink support.

Here is what I saw about the HTC mirrorlink-like (not sure if it is mirrorlink standard).
This is a demo in Luxgen Sedan 5 (a car designed & made by a Taiwan company).

ANT+ support in S3

Dose anyone know is there a way to make S3 natively support ANT+? I know S3 has the hardware to support ANT+. It requires only software side to make S3 compatible with ANT+. Android 4.3 or above has ANT+ support. However after I installed Omega AOKP 11 with android 4.3 ROM and ANT+ plugin and radio service on Google play I still couldn't connect to my ANT+ heart rate monitor which I can connect using my Note 3. If anyone knows how to make S3 to support ANT+ sensor natively without using any dongle please shed some light, thanks.

Theoretically yes, the source code is on GitHub, but you'll probably need some binaries according to the readme.

If someone could create a custom ROM that was just the official build plus ANT+ support, I think there would be quite a lot of grateful takers, myself included... Very frustrated by Samsung's omission on this - I've come here as a n00b looking for whether such a ROM exists already, but no luck yet!
Any progresso on this?

Hi,
I've got a S3 LTE. Today a made the 4.3 Update OTA.
In many blogs and boards is told about the S3 ANT+ support in this Firmware.
So i've installed the ANT service and ANT plugins, but it don't work.
The demo app told me to install the USB driver for the extern dongle, cause the Hardware is not capable to use ANT.
Is there a driver update from ANT neccessary, or what could be the problem?
StompSC
Yes, the info about ANT+ being supported on the i9300 (non-LTE S3) was incorrect. I assume it's the same for the S3 LTE.
If the update had included ANT+, the ANT+ radio service would already be installed. You are able to download these fron Google Play to enable you to use a usb dongle.
I believe they haven't included an ANT+ driver, which is why you can't use the hardware that is included in the phone. It's the same situation that we had previously with BTLE (hardware there, but no driver), but they included the driver in the 4.3 update for that, so BTLE now works.
See this page for more info:
(Argh can't post url as I'm a new user. Google "dcrainmaker ANT+ s3" (without the quotes), it should be the first hit.)

[Q] Help with Miracast

Have become a fond user of Miracast on my tablet recently so was wondering if there were any original Android ROMs that supported it? I have read that no CM/AOSP ROM supports Miracast but apparently there are work arounds? I am currently on the unofficial CM11 that temasek produced and despite having the Cast Screen option in settings I don't think it can find my device to cast to
Never going back to Touchwiz so if anyone knows any simple KitKat ROMs that Miracast works on that would be great
Thanks
Anyone have any help for me?
Anyone help? Would really love an answer or reply, have asked many times in many threads

Android N - Accessibility Services and Encryption

Hello!
I have a question about Accessibility Services and Password enhanced encryption in Android N.
I have not installed any of developer previews on my device (Nexus 5X), because I use for my every-day stuff and it is my only device, so I cannot afford any issues.
But I am wondering if it will be mandatory to disable password enhanced encryption in Android N or will new Direct Boot feature take care of that?
Thank you!
im actually on the latest N preview for my n5x and its the most stable rom i have been on since i got the phone. but i cant help you with your question
[SOLVED]
For anyone having the same question.
I have managed to solve my issue. The soultion is not exactly Android N related, but it do not see why it would not work (it is tested on Android 6).

Hey how is the development progress of the android N project?
I have been researching alot on this but came up with nothing.
Most of them were just under beta testing but soon to be released..
Just hoping for a early release...

Xiaomi Laser projector

Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
