I am still posting here as, although the device i have is 4 androids ( EVO, EVO 3D, TRANSFORMER PRIME, ARCHOS A10|1T:8000), all with HDMI port (except the 3d, which has HDMI output through the USB port with a converter thingy), what I am posting about should, i would think, be an android-wide thing, not anything specific, especially for ICS and jellybean.
I know, and have read, all the specific device threads about HDMI input, but, as it would be near impossible to unit-specific code for HDMI communications, and as the HDMI standards state that they are functionally,and always have been, that HDMI is a 2-WAY communications protocol, then shouldn't an "HDMI input display" code be able to be written for Android as a whole, so there could be a stand-alone app for any android with an HDMI port to just 'sleep' android when an HDMI is connected with video-out signal being transmitted over it, and just default to a display?
Especially with ICS able to handle not only HDMI 2-way communication, but its' support for full HD displays (for example, TransformerPrime T701, and GoogleTVs), or even whatever the display is capable of?
So, shouldn't the app just be to read the port's input, if its HDMI signal, it can either 'suspend' or 'sleep' android and allow the device connected to simply pass display signal to the device?
If HDMI follows standards, which it must in order to even use the HDMI trademark, then any android which can dispay to HDMI out, by definition, MUST be able to receive HDMI communication from the other device. Anything over HDMIversion 1.5.
I have a working familiarity with HDMI output, but unfortunately, i've never had a chance to work with HDMI input coding, so I understand I could be way off.
so please, just tell me if I am mistaken, i can and will delete this thread or move it where you guys suggest, just please don't ban me for thinking this all the way through.
But my understanding of Android and HDMI is that anything that is capable of transmitting HDMI can be read by anything else that has HDMI (except china with its strick firewall) therefore, anything with an HDMI out and an HDMI to HDMI Mini or Micro cable should be able to connect to DVD players, computer graphic cards, XBOX. etc.
Why?
just to use as a display. I'm not sure about the archos, but i know the evo3D dual core and the ASUS ee transformer prime should have enough power to use as displays, probably with suspend, ANY HDMI signal and decode it and display it just as if were live. People would use to plug in dvd players, video game systems, etc while on the go.
So, with 2-way communication through HDMI, shouldn't we be able to make an app that would turn the android device into a small portable screen?
-----
Once again, i am thinking this is is an android-wide app or mod, which is why i am posting here. Please someone just tell me if it needs to be moved and not ban me for posting here, like the warning is saying.
I had snippets of various code pasted here that should be able to be pieced together into something working, but, as I don't really know what the lines mean or how to code it together, i'm gonna just end this here and see what everyone says.

Does GoogleTV handle the TV's various inputs through Android processing? could we just extract the control lines and turn it into an APP from that? or does GoogleTV only run when the TV is on a specific input channel, no android runs if switch input to Component or HDMI or others than the 'dedicated' android input selection?
No. There is not a way to use an output as an input. Period.

Curious if anyone has used this technology...I want to try it out on my Atrix 4g but the pico projector I have doesn't have an HDMI port
The pico projector I bought for work to use with a laptop for presentations goes well with all sorts of other tech the model I have currently doesn't do HDMI but I know there is a model that does.
My Model is the AAXA P4 Pico Projector <<(noob so I can't link but you can find them on Amazon for fairly cheap)
I've seen some videos of people online strapping the projectors to their iphones and using it as an augmented reality game kind of thing. My first thought was to see if anyone has been able to use this technology with apps and such with their Android phones that have HDMI...as like I said the model pico projector P4 by AAXA didn't have the appropriate port, although I could scan my phone like a USB drive.
The Pico Projector I picked up can be found at amazon for fairly cheap. And the HDMI model is actually comparably priced better and can also be found at Amazon for a ridiculously low price: AAXA p3 Pico Projector. (<<< noob so no link again)
Anyways my biggest interest is to see if my PSroms can run and project off my phone...that would just be too good to be true.
Let me know what you guys think.

Hi All.
I got the idea of "Android Smart TV Box" http://www.maplin.co.uk/smart-tv-entertainment-box-powered-by-android-586939
Has anyone built a HTPC based off Android? As i have a spare PC knocking around something on the lines of like a intel pentium 4 HT 3.00 GHz, 1GB RAM, I tried Googling "Android HTPC" but did not get very much in return
Any tips would be great

Need some opinions on these two device.
Ill be one of the two, just not sure which one is should get. They both look great spec wise and some pretty good reviews from the site. Any help would be great. I do trust the site, I've shopped there many times the site is not an issue.

Why so? This forum is even called Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. If it is a question, it is a Q&A (question and answer) and if you need help, it is still part of the forum and if you need troubleshooting it is also part of the forum.

oh ok, I must've misread it then : ) well, here goes..
I am planning to buy a new DAP which can also work as a DAC, and there are actually quite a few Gadgets out there that combine DAPs and DACs into one as some of you might know.
My question now is, is Android 5 Lollipop upwards able to work with External DACs that use Asynchronous Data Transfer? I am asking this because I have heard that Android 5 had USB Audio Playback integrated, which leads me to the (maybe farfetched) assumption that the newer Android OS should also work with Asynchronous DACs, is that possible?
To be a bit more specific, I am thinking about getting a FiiO x5ii in order to use as a standalone DAP now and again, but I mainly wana use the device as an external DAC for my Note 7. In their official forums FiiO says the FiiO X5ii can not be used as a DAC for Android Smartphones because the Smartphone expects Synchronous Data Transfer whilst the X5ii is designed for Asynchronous Data Transfer. Now I know there's an App called USB Audio Player Pro which bypasses the Android OS and allows Asynchronous DACs like the X5 (specifically mentioned in their compatibility list) to function but I rely on ID3 Tags that only Rocket Player can give me.
I have been doing a lot of research on the internet about this topic but I havent found a clear answer yet that would justify spending 350 bucks on a device that might not work for what I intend it to. The alternative would be to just get an Audioquest Dragonfly (which is not a DAP I'm aware of that) because I have read a lot of good things about them and they are pretty small, but I can imagine having a cable stuck from the bottom of my Note 7 with a USB Stick hanging from it can be a bit awkward and unpractical when I walk around having to grab my phone from my pocket frequently in order to rate songs on my screen or whatever.
Any input or thoughts on this would really be appreciated : )
