Mirror Display / HUD creation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Always wanted to ask / spread the idea of a simple tool which mirrors the display output so that you can use any app as a hud in car windshield.
Is smth like this easily manageable?
As we say: Would go away like cutted bread.

There are quite a few like this.

yes but I think he meant (as I have also thought about) mirroring every app automatically so that it can be used as a HUD, eg: Mirror view of Google maps / Navigation

Ok. Personally I would Just use a decent mount.

I can imagine this to be possible with a chainfire3d plugin, but i am not a dev... you could ask chainfire himself...

A good suggestion : Since month I'm trying to understand how to mirror-display a simple text, and can't find anything in the API!

Finally did it!!
I know its late, but after reading all these forums, i was convinced that there are no existing mods, or any other ready made solution available.
So thought of doing it myself. Changed the source and built a custom ROM on top of lineageOS. Added a new option (HUD Mode )
Here is a working video of my HUD display. cheers.

[Q] noob question - creating a widget

Hi
I have programming experience in java, but i never did anything with cellphones and specially android.
I wanted to make a widget which will read very simple data from a small webpage, and to have it being updated once in a while on my home screen.
So,
1. Is it hard to do? If not, where can i find some tools and guides to do that?
2. maybe there is an app which does that for me?
thank you!

This is a great resource for Android development...
http://www.anddev.org/
I do know that there is an app that does exactly what you're talking about, but it wasn't very good when it first came out. I'll have a look and see if I can find it, but I can't remember the name. It was in the Android Apps & Games forum.
There's also an Android Software Development forum on xda, so that's always worth a look as well.
Good luck mate

i'd like a real webpage with text and images
is it possible and im doing something wrong? because i can't get it to work (i added the URL but there's nothing in the widget)

New Android Market (3.0.26)

That’s right, guys. Just download from your phone’s browser and install like a normal app. It’s currently working great on my Evo 3D although I’m not sure if this will work on phone’s equipped with Android 2.1 and lower (per Google) but I don’t think that will stop you from trying, right? Let us know if it works for you! Enjoy!
Oh — and if the new Market ISN’T your cup of tea or starts to act a little wonky, you can always go back to the old Market following these simple steps:
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!

My app got suspended

Hi!
One of my apps got suspended from android market. The app was a wallpaper app and the wallpapers contained girls, not naked though. Exept for one pic where u actually can see the girls tits..
My question is why it got suspended? I mean, there is A LOT of similar apps out here... Is it maybe cuz I'd put the "Content Rating" to "Everyone", should I maybe have chosen "High Maturity"?
Here's some scrrenshots of the app: http://www.chdevinc.com/p/app-nr4.html

The nips are showing. I don't think google cares about boobs so long as the "vital" bits are covered. This is probably why it got banned.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
In that case, I think you need to remove the last picture, in order to please the Mighty God Google
Okey I removed the pictures where the girls were naked or showed too much and I also putted in "High Maturity" but now it got suspended again! (?) Like, wft? Is it cuz i've put a price on it or what?!

That's possible. I had an app removed from usa market because in the description it said it was an eight ball type app and mattel own copyright on that phrase. I removed the two words but its still blocked. Google don't give developers chance to defend themselves they just yank the app but they do tell you if you broke copyright as in my case I got a copy of letter to them sent by mattell. So perhaps you have an email un noticed?

I'm wondering these things, android is known OS now..

[Q] How to find and delete spam link in android ..

How do I search for and delete a spam ad in my operating system?
It shows up in my browser as adtracking.king.com/modules/(more stuff I cannot remember)...
I've searched everywhere and had no luck.
My phone is a Huawei M835 running android 2.2 which is rooted.
I've tried root Explorer, but cannot find /modules section.

the only way to delete it is uninstalling the app. turning off any connection to the internet works too i think.
can I delete it via file manager?? ...
I've taken the battery out several times and can see where that's not going to work much. So I'll turn off my internet right after I post this.
FYI: the ad seems like it's on a timer. Plus it keeps telling me different things such as "your phone is at risk", "free app of the day", "Samsung galaxy phone", and the URL is usually for candy crush saga, which not only doesn't work on this phone, the URL redirects me to Google Play Store.
Thank you for helping me out!!
Is there anything else I should try??
Get "airpush ad detector" , it is most likely some app that is causing this!
Delete the offending app.

Look at the post i quoted.
I was going to post another question mark but maybe not. I probably meant +1 to the ? . hadn't taken much notice of the kernel thing! :banghead:
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
new kernel means fewer problems likely ...
I'm not getting anything more than the network notice.
Airpush doesn't mention an app or anything else so I'm really not sure what to try next. On most Linux systems, when you disable or worse, delete the network manager - your out of business. The thing stops working. I'm 200 miles from the nearest metropcs store, so that's why I asked.
The bulk of Linux distributions don't have issues such as this, so that's why I'd rather put the new Linux kernel in. Plus, I'm very familiar with synaptic and a host of things that android simply doesn't have.
I've actually found a premium Linux installer which installs Debian and Ubuntu on your cell phone right from sourceforge.net.
Also, I did some research and metropcs offers phones up to android 4.0. No word if they're still going to run in 2015 when metropcs switches over from cdma to T-Mobile's gma network.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I was nearly killed in a motorcycle wreck in January (6 months ago) and I've been sick in bed for a while. I was in a coma for 4 1/2 months. My new bike was destroyed. Several broken bones. - So I apologize.
The URL showing up in the address bar is http://adtracking.king.com/modules/ad tracking /?com.=candy.crush.saga. Is there a way to hunt this /modules directory down in Root Explorer???
You could try adding the address to the hosts file in /etc/hosts

The problem sounds oh so much like a malicious app, did you install something just prior to this starting? Maybe pull a logcat and try to see if you can't track down what's doing this.
FYI a lot of free games will do exactly this, try a clean wipe and just installing what you need

​Shannon -2, demon - forum contributor
Thank you very much for getting back to me. Are there instructions or a thread that will help me do this?
Demon - I agree this is some balogna planted on my phone. Although I always use Google Play for my apps and never ever install games, I did get gingerbreak 1.2 from a non XDA source and I think that's the problem.
Is there a clean Gingerbreak link I can use??
Also, what android versions does XDA premium run on??? It's borked on my 2.2 version of android.

Shannon -2,
I looked up, and found tytung's posts regarding the ROM's and even found the posts for the new 4.2 ROM's then bookmarked the posts too.
Since a few mods got mad and deleted the download links, is therê a place that will allow users to download the ROM's we need?
Also, will these ROM's work on non -HTC cellphones?? (Such as my huawei M835).
I honestly don't know how to determine if my phones have the type of / version of software listed to run the ROM's tytung's listed in his posts. - I read most of his posts in on huge thread, including the new screen he created with other Developers. I just don't have the knowledge yet to decipher if this is appropriate for my two phones or not.
Since your an experienced developer, will the XDA premium app run on android 4.0 or higher and let us post??
Lastly, is there a Developer that I can Pay to updated my ROM?
Thank you Shannon!!
AFAIK all versions are supported by xda app.
If you search on google you will find links to tytungs roms, the mods don't want links posted here!!
Search for 'NexusHD2 Android forum' and you will find guides for installation on all of these roms.
No, these roms are specific to the HD2 hardware so won't work on your huawei M835.
If you want a fluid rom go for the gingerbread version, the 4.x roms have some lag!
If you have any problems post back here.
Good luck with it.
In search of a better ROM ...

I deeply appreciate your help and most of all, your patience.
I will search for the instructions right away.
BTW: I can't get XDA Premium to install on my Huawei M835 at all. The free version lets you send pm's, but won't let you post. - Something I hope to fix once I update my phone.
