I was wondering would it be possible to somehow port over the app used to control the Rover Spy Tank from iOS to Android? The Rover Spy Tank is a R/C Tank similiar to Parrots AR Drone. The Tank is being sold only at Brookstone and I would love to get one of these but its for the iOS right now.
http://www.brookstone.com/rover-remote-control-spy-tank-for-ipad?bkiid=hmpg|main|Rover|719302p
That thing looks awesome! Night vision - remote control, viewing and microphone streaming just like the Parrot AR drone for only $149!!!
sucks that iOS users can rub this in our face that we can't control it yet with android. Can't wait to get one. Wish Brookstone would release an app or XDA devs could beat them to the punch!
Help appreciated hacking this Brookstone Rover
Dear pros,
Got this one for xmas/birthday. Any help is much appreciated hacking this AC13 Brookstone Rover. I put some info online at the androidcommunity.com website (I cannot post the URL because I am new here, but just google "brookstone rover android"). I imagine that people that would be able to help me can be found here rather than there.
It seems that the people that develop hardware for Foscam (China?) are the same ones that develop this rover.
Thanks!
I think you must have to concern any Developer who deals with Android and Iphone OS. He will help you to sort out your problem.
No news about a port of the controller to android?
It would be cool if it could also be controlled from the computer...
Rover Spy Tank Android App and Library
I hope you enjoy:
Search on Google Play: Rover Spy Tank Controller.
Read carefully, I build a Library to communicate with the robot, you can use it with a PC. I make an example of how to use it. Download it from Source forge , If you want to make the sound stream work, you are welcome!! Please let me know if any doubt.
Original code

Mastayoda01 was that friendly to make a much better looking app than I had. But just for completion sake, the original code I developed when hacking the thing can be found at github (I cannot post links as a newbie). The reason that audio isn't working is because I didn't find time to reverse engineer that part. You're welcome to help me out there.
The second version of the Brookstone rover does have some encryption on-board. Although there is an Android app available, it is not very good. One of my colleagues figured out how to control it as well. The source code for this can be found at github (I cannot post links as a newbie).

dude even I'm searching for the same....
even I got one HCL AP10 A1.. bought from ebay...
aah.. I too got it from ebay. atleast we can start sharing our apps / experiences until someone gets us an update.
have you changed the recovery on it? or still the stock one?
do you have any wonderful achievements on it?
well it kinda sucks doesnt it .. even i have got the same one ... things i of what i know ppl use rom manager after rooting .. but after installing rom manager .. what i noticed was that HCL is not at all in their list ... for crying out loud it even has Spice Mi tablet on their list but not HCL .. so i think we are stuck
it doesn't really suck that much.. hehe. I love the performance of it.. almost everything works with mine.. Skype Video calls, High End Games (Trial Extreme, etc), Jabber VOIP Calls, etc. I use VTL Launcher and it adds a lot of space on this tab. I use MultiLing Keyboard for Tab which increases the productivity. I wanted to make Junos Pulse Work on it. If that works, I see nowhere else. Any help there guys? may be the tun.ko file is needed for this
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
its a good tab... i played all high end games THD games on it... using wifi/ 3g/2g for browsing and chatting with friends... installed spb 3d shell...
here is my email id [email protected] sajavid.

I'm quite sure its either the Malata SMB-A1004 or The SMB-A1009.
If it is then you all can install honeycomb meant for the Notion Ink Adam.
Here is the link to the Adam ROM http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4T971PL
Learn to use nvflash first if in case u brick the pad.
Then flash it in recovery mode.

Hey, even I got this tablet from eBay, and came without warranty... and guess what, I also have issue with the GPS...it doesn't work is that the problem with all these models??
I have one more problem, it has facility of inserting Sim Card, but I am not able to make the voice calls from my Airtel SIM (2G). However, I am able to send and receive messages just like normal mobile phones. Do you have any idea about this?
One more thing to add, as it doesn't have warranty, it's product no. is not registered with HCL Service center and they are not able to provide any support on this.
Mine also comes with Nvidia Tegra.
Can you please guide me how to root it successfully? Does Android Market work after rooting it?
---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
Can anybody please suggest which all applications or games are worth keeping on this tablet?
I am currently using a few games like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Chess etc. Apart from that it works as a good e-book reader...good to read books on big screen
Also, did any of you manage to register it for HCL support atleast, if not the warranty?
Even if it is a bit bulky, I feel it is worth the price we got on eBay!!
Please keep posting your experiences and new things you learn about it, which others can take advantage of

I think it is SMB-A1002
uploded few models check it out guys
Okay. Seems GPS locking is a global issue.
@chaskarn - i agree with every word of @parmesh in his reply.
@vishalblr - there is not warranty or support from HCL for this Tab. But hey, who needs it.
There is no voice call support on this Tab. only SMS works along with GPRS/EDGE/3G.
I tried using the internet on GPRS, EDGE, 3G and Wifi and everything works perfect. I'm pretty much impressed with that.
You can install every thing on it after rooting. Android Market, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Facebook, Google Maps, Google Talk.. etc which are compatible with the hardware and Andoird 2.2
For rooting the device, I used SuperOneClick v2.1.1 - ShortFuse. You can google for the instructions on rooting with this tool.
And about the games, I say every game works perfect. HomeBattle3D, CricketFever, other 3D games, Droidhen, etc etc..
I am very much satisfied with the Tab. I never felt a lag or force close on this device unnecessarily. I am trying to get Junos Pulse working on it. If any of you have become successful in connecting to VPN with it, please let me know.
Hi parameshwaran/sajavid
thanks a ton for your reply, i indeed order this tablet yesterday.
don't really care if i don't able to make voice calls but looks like this is disabled by manufaturer (same as ipad 2), should able to crack this.
also i am interested to upgrade OS of this device, looking at the hardware specification i think this device can be upgraded to gingerbread/honeycomb/iCS
if anyone able to upgrade it, please post here.

Hi all,
I've been reading about these mini android PC's that are similar in size to a flash drive that plug in to the HD socket on the TV.
They really appeal to me as I'm not upgrading my TV for a while and this would allow me to have similar functions to some of the smart TV's like wifi and streaming etc, not to mention so sweet apps!
I had a look around but can't see anywhere on XDA forums for development on these devices - I'm too new to use the search bar, apparently, so apologies if I missed it! Or if there's someone who has one that can offer some reliable feedback / review I'd appreciate it!
Thanks.

I'm really hoping to find a 4.2 ROM because user profiles would be awesome on this thing.
I am looking for help on choosing the right android radio for my car.
I have a forester 2011 with gps buit in, but that super feature removed the a2dp fonctionalty !
That is all I wanted! !!
I have read these 2 thread AN-21U and 4.2.2 a9 dual core
These 2 are hard to find on ebay !
I have a galaxy s5, note 2014 and wife has galaxy s3... we are very in android.
What I would like on the radio is:
- a2dp perfectly working
-good gps with available free updates (without having to always use google maps on tethering from my phone). But Google maps still available
- port for microphone (unless the micro from the head unit is good for phone call. .. but I doubt it! ). I could use the one already installed in my car
-steering wheel control. .. they all seams to have it
-able to browse Internet and YouTube videos (on tethering)... flash player probably working with firefox...
-torque apps should work. .. already using it on my phone (OBDII)
-google account working linked with chrome
-good radio reception. .. the is a must since this is my. ...radio! !
-fast boot time. .. or even being able to stay on sleep mode. I guess 30 secondes is fast enough, but might get slower with more apps I guess !
-tv tunner would be awesome
-reverse camera
Am I dreaming wanting all this ?
Between 350 and 400$ should be doable !
Root is not necessary since I might end up with more problems. (Radio not working, steering wheel issue, ect) But rooting can solve a bunch of problem too...
Thank you very much for your help.
Reading both thread above did not really helped me. .. the first one seams to have a bunch of issues. .. and icannot find the second on ebay on simple double din .

This one seams ok... would it be a good choice ?
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301197118041&alt=web
Is it one of the 2 listed above ?
Please give me a little help here!
Even if I read all the descriptions. .. it is always better to ask a person who owns one!
Too easy to waste money buying something you think does all you want! !
Thank you

ive also been on the market and looking but from reading peoples post on different h/u its pretty save to say its all a gamble most of these units are chinese built and the build quality is questionable some units have good features but lack memory the units you may wanna look into more would be the ones with some sort dev support and root those seems to be the ones that if there is an issue at least someone can come up with a solution also you may wanna stay away from h/u that are windows CE as they run android on a top of the windows and may lack android features
Thank you very much for your help.
That is exactly what I thought, a gumble !
After reading the first thread posted above (AN-21U), it seams to have to much issues.
But the other about the 4.2.2 a9 dual core seams very interesting. but I cannot find any of those on ebay searching by the names HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) !
There is a buch of 4.2.2 a9 dual core.. 1.2ghz, 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, 2Gb ram .. they might all be fake, I cannot know !
It seams all the auction lake on real detail about the product (model #, ect).
Is there anyway I can by certain I order on of the HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) ?

Hello Martin,
I dont know your car type, but I recomend DX.com for buy things from China. Try to find with: "autoradio" and "android" keyword.
Eg.: Joyous 8" J-8813-8A for VW group cars.
BR, Mark
It is said in my forst post that you quoted, it is a subaru forester 2011 !
Simple double DIN will work in my car, no special fitting is needed !
If I find a good one with RK3066 processor, does that mean this is the right one (from the second link of my first post) ?
Just an example, looking at that file: HuiFei/Klyde/RoadMaster Reference, I clearly see what the Hui Fei and roadmaster look like.
But since there is more info on the Klyde one, this is the one I would like to buy but I cannot see what the head unit look like !
Searching the web for Klyde android car, I see a LOT og different model ... which one is the right one ?
I don't think any Klyde model will work, I need the right one !
Same thing for RoadMaster ... I can find the model I see on the picture on ebay, but no way to be sure it is the right one !
This video is for Klyde: Youtube Video but does not seams to be the one on the file !
If it is, this might be the one I want !
Thank you for your help !
The problem is they are all Chinese built so they tend to be all nock offs of each other you have to get a confirmed hardware specs for the klyde unit and then when you search look for the same hardware its small difference in hardware it could be the GPU or the ram or etc. Even though they all look similar its the internals that will tell you which is which ....I'm currently looking for a unit with 4.4 and 1024*720 screen resolution I found one in a Europe site but am trying to see if I find it on eBay I have a wrx sti ::subie wave::
I see a lot of Ouku that seams good, but as it is not mentioned anyway in here, I guess these are not a good idea to buy !
They where good at one point but now theirs more competition out there

Thank you for sending me this link: New Model, but I find it weird that they wrote: can be upgraded to Android 5.0 .....
I need a little help here !
I have 25Tabs onped on my Chrome, I read everything written here on XDA.
I can see that the RM are bugless, so that might be what I want!
But I find no where I can buy them exect from aliexpress.com, but they are not cheap at all !
This one seams perfect and cheap, but from WinLink ?!?!?! WinLink
Or that one from Zhoon with 7" display that seams good: Zhoon
Or one from Infidini Infidini
All I really want is to be able to charge my cell (1 USB and Built-in Wifi), have my OBDII bluwtooth connected with my cell. And be able to have my music on bluetooth. Also have the reverse camera and steering wheelm control !
They practicly all have these features, but the best is a pure android and being able to root !
All the link I find here to buy one are no longer working, so ther eis no place to buy one.
Except from aliexpress.com where Rm are really expensive, and Ebay where you have no idea what you are buying !!
Please, I want to order one! I am so tired of my Pioneer always crashing in my car !
This is what I am looking for, but I don't want to order 100 of 'em RoadMaster
You want one that is multi channel Bluetooth too if not you either do obd or phone but not both that's something to consider also
Ok, i am really going to buy one, but only need a little piece of advice before i do !
I finally found a klyde not to expensive : klyde
Can i use the bluetooth for anything else then my phone ( with obd dongle for example).
Is the microphone good enough for phone call ?
I have been searching for that model since i see in other threads that they seams to be good. .. with no bugs !
But now that we are already in September, is there better product ?
Maybe this one is better ? http://m.aliexpress.com/item-desc/1948364463.html

Okay the title may say it all but I am looking to get myself an Android Double Din car stereo.
I currently have a 6.2" Clarion and the screen size is adequate and it is very usable and I love the radio but I would prefer to have an Android stereo, possibly with a larger display.
I haven't made a decision yet and I'm extremely interested to hear from all of you to see what type of Android car stereo you are using and why you think it's the best one.
Ideally the stereo I would like to buy would have a 7" screen that is either detachable(and doubles as a tablet) or motorized with full DVD capabilities. I'm not super picky about the screen size. DVD/CD is not a real requirement but would be nice to have.
I do not care if it can be rooted but root would definitely be a plus.
The newer the Android OS loaded onto the stereo the better as long as it's stable and everything works as you'd expect.
I've already done a bit of research on these stereos and was leaning towards the XTRONS TD729A or this OUKU Stereo found on eBay but I know there's hundreds of different stereos out there and what better place to get advice on Android Tech than XDA?
Also saw the Newsmy NU3001 Android 4.4 Double Din car stereo. No DVD or detachable panel like I'd like but it does seem like a nice stereo. Opinions?

That's really nice. Do these Android radios sync with the phones?

I think that radio looks nice but there's no way that would fit in my dashboard. I had to modify my dashboard to fit a double din stereo to begin with. The way my current stereo is installed it sits flush in my dashboard. It almost looks factory. See the photo attached below.
I'm looking to recreate that "almost factory" look again but this time I'd really like an Android stereo. That stereo you linked to would require extreme modification to my already modified dashboard.

And yes these stereos to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and with the correct accessories, 3G as well.
If the stereo has Google apps installed and is connected to the internet, it will sync most information with your phone.

This Sony stereo is not an actual Android car stereo. It's a double din Xperia phone mount that replaces your radio and puts your Xperia phone in it's place. As far as I can tell anyway.
I'm really starting to think that this one might be a winner.

Certainly the unit I posted before wins on specs, but this one is more good-looking, for sure... it seems nice. I can't understand why you said that the device with the tablet wouldn't fit in your car but this one would... both of them are 7", right?

The tablet unit you posted before has a much larger bezel around the screen. that bezel makes it too large to fit in my dashboard. Might not be the same for everyone but if you look at the photo of my current setup that I posted up above, you'd see what I mean.

Wow I like that one. Especially with its high screen definition and very late android version !
I'm currently looking at such radio and that one is for the moment the best I ever saw, and not the more expensive !

The only thing I can see about that stereo that kind of makes me keep looking at others is the fact that in the item description there's no mention of the stereo having Google Play. Maybe it's been figured out in the xda thread I linked to in that post but without Google Play what's the point in an Android device?
EDIT-- Even though the website selling the unit does not expressly say that Google Play is pre-installed to the device, there are hundreds of posts in the xda thread that mention "install this from Google Play" or "install that" or "I installed this from Google Play"
I'm assuming that considering it is pre-rooted out of the box that you can either install Google Apps from recovery or that the apps are pre-installed.
Here's that same radio only it has 2gb of RAM.

I confirm Google play is installed.
I just check one video on YouTube and I see the icon installed
And checking randomly in the xda post related, I see discussion about "where do Google play and Google play music install their files after downloading "
So definitely yes

Yeah I really think I like that unit. My only gripe with it is the lack of DVD capabilities which truthfully isn't an issue because it's been confirmed that you can plug in a portable hard drive and use that for movies and music just fine.
That and the damn price tag. For the model with 1gb ram you're looking at about $400 and the model with 2gb ram is over $500.
