There are rumours that android 2.4 will be launched April this year and had better support for tablets, than previous version. Any one could confirm this?
It will be good news if someone could build a 2.4 android firmware.

Best to concentrate on 3.0 since it's built for tablets. 2.4 only adds some features for tablets and dual core support iirc.

2.4 will be a platform for smartfones with dual cores, not really tablets. it will include some features of 3.0, but will be mainly a mix of gingerbread and honeycomb. it is done to provide the "honeycomb" experience on dual cores cpu smartphones, since gingerbread has no support for dualcores, and honeycomb is made for tablets only, mostly with dualcore support. something in between is 2.4.
u got a folio 100? , then u got a tablet, so aim for the 3.0
If 3.0 will only support 1280x800 screens on we will be able to get it to work on Folio?

It would be irrational to bind a platform onto one resolution. So yes, It will work on other resolutions as well. I can't see that happening.

Well, Honeycomb had been 'successfully' ported over onto the Nook Color which runs 1024x600 resolution (doing a search on Youtube with 'nook color honeycomb' will give you some results). So maybe there is hope yet for the Folio!
I also think it's better to wait for the 3.0 than the 2.4
I 'm not so sure that honeycomb is the way to go... but sure it's pretty.
Hey!
I was just wondering, is this the tablet you are developing for here?
http://www.hannspree.com/EU/EN/Prod...l.aspx?sort=2&page=1&pattrs=&attrs=&viewAll=0
I am thinking about buying it, but I am wondering if it's a good choice?
Is there any firmware updates to 2.3 or 3.0, so I can take proper use of the Tegra II CPU it has?
And can I install a proper Android interface, so I don't have to use the weird one Hannspree provide?
Thank you
As far as I can see these two tablets are not quite the same, but mostly.
Viewsonic has a full-sized USB port and a webcam (skype video chat?), but does it also have an HDMI output so I can play movies on my TV?
And does anybody know if I can buy a Viewsonic G tablet in Europe, or is Hannspad better?

For the Price of 169,- it's a very good choice!

There is a custom [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.1 [alpha232 build] for it.
And two Honeycomb ROMs FlashBack72 and GtaComb33 with kernel adam 4 integrated
And a modded Stock [ROM] HannsTitan v0.3.1 [Update Aug 25]
In all ROMs there are no Hardware acceleration.
But beside that it works like a charm

Yes you can. Under FB 7.2 it works flawless. All you need ist a Mini-HDMI-Cable.
I wanted the Viewsonic tablet, but it's only being sold in USA it seems
Basically, I want to connect a Microsoft webcam to my SGP 4.0, and probably using a custom made .apk, just record the video from the webcam. No preview display or anything.
My plan so far is to wait until TeamSuperNova finishes their ICS for the 4.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712668
And I already have the webcam and I ordered a USB host-mode cable from Amazon (not sure if I would still need that with ICS though).
So the plan is to connect the webcam to the 4.0 with the cable, but I'm just curious if you guys think it'll work, or if any experiments have already been done in this field. I have seen the video of a webcam running on the Nexus, but I really dont care about a preview, just recording. Imagine the most ghetto Go-Pro possible, that's what I'm shooting for.
Thanks guys
no suggestions/ tips/ etc?

Make sure you can get it working with desktop Linux. That'll give you the added benefit of knowing what driver it needs. From there you can find/port a program that'll read your /dev/video* devices, something like gstreamer, ffmpeg, mencoder, or an Andriod app.

thanks for the help bro, also, why do i need a linux system? how does that show me what driver it uses?

Because Android is a Linux system, though the userspace is mostly different. You don't necessarily need to have a Linux system, but I imagine it'd be harder to do Android work on another system. Though chances are good that you'd be able to do it on another kind of UNIX, such as Mac OS X being the most popular.

okay, this makes sense, but what about using eclipse? that can handle android development and all, so would i be able to determine the driver using windows/ eclipse? and also do those terminal commands and such you also posted?
ps: sorry for my ignorance, the best ive done in android so far is a fallout soundboard....

I bought a USB OTG cable for my Nexus and it worked perfectly. I then tried it on my 5.0 and it didn't work. I think USB host mode is not compatible with the player range (the 5.0 anyway) as the micro USB port is not powered. But who knows, maybe it works on the 4.0

You can find out what driver you need (if it exists) from the camera's datasheet and some Googling. If you want to test it on a more well known platform before you test it on the device, that platform would be an x86_64 linux. It's just a good refernce is all, and would come in handy in case the plug and pray method doesn't work.
Those commands only coincidentally take the name of their project, of which I was referring. See:

yeah i got the OTG cable too, and it didnt work with the 4.0, but I believe thats because its not getting powered due to the 4.0 not having true 4.0 host mode, which powers the usb, so either i splice in the required 3-5v in the usb line or i wait for Team SuperNova to complete their port of CM9 (4.0.4) for my player (the 5.0 actually already has it so you should be good to go).

I tried it on my 5.0 running my CM9 rom, but no luck. I'm not sure if the player series supports USB Host seeing as the GT-I9000 does not have this feature. As far as I'm aware, USB Host started appearing on devices in the same generation as the GT-I9100 so about a year later.
EDIT:
USB Host appears to be a kernel feature:

damn, i wonder if we need usb host mode, i mean if its powered externally with 3-5v, and then the proper drivers are installed in a custom app, wouldnt we be able to at least display what the camera sees?

kinda a side question, but do you guys think this app would work with a galaxy player 4.0?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22884164&postcount=3
i dont know much about android, but as far as i know, as long as its android, it might be able to run, right? does the transformer use jellybean? < thats probably where my idea would fall flat if it does...
Hi all,
The backlight on my G-Tablet failed today, the LCD itself still works but without the backlight its pretty much useless as a tablet.
So I am trying to figure out if I can salvage it for other uses, mainly 'headless' (no screen) ARM Linux development. Tegra 2 should still pack a punch, without having to buy a Beagleboard or similar.
So, I want to know:
1. Will a HDMI cable/dock display everything on screen from bootup onwards? (i.e does CWM work with HDMI-out). Are there any kernel-level dependencies on having HDMI out working?
2. Are there any serial, jtag or the like pads on the PCB? Serial would be very useful, but it seems no one has looked for either..

If you just want to do development--ie. you just want to use the gTab as a headless computer--you can setup and use ADB and/or a ssh/telnet server on the tablet.
True, I would be looking to natively boot a Linux distribution rather than use Android, I would have to put ADB support into the system ( at least we have a capable kernel already). That probably won't give me any kernel boot messages.
I'll just order the HDMI cable and see if that does the trick.

Any updates on this? My backlight went out as well and would like to know if you got the hdmi to display on a monitor or TV?

1. Have you checked the cable(s) to the LCD?
2. HDMI via the dock should work, not certain if only the cable alone will do the job on all ROMs.
3. If the HDMI cable does not work, then running a VNC server on the gTablet (after install using: adb install ... ) should work too.
For those of you who tinker a little more "hardcore" than I do, do you think installing one of these dev boards ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librecomputer/libre-computer-board-next-gen-4k-sbc-dev-board-for) into my Pumpkin RQ0278E would be feasible? Would It be difficult to get the dispaly and touch screen to work? It seems as though it would give you endless upgrading possibilities, from high quality usb dac setup to maybe a true hd display with touchscreen. Am I right??

The linked board is a single kernel CPU...
Would make no sense at all.

Thanks. I'm going to look into it. I just wish my DAC would work fully with my RQ0278E and also be updated to at least android 6 or 7 with no weird bugs.
dev board
I don't know is it worth to install this board or not. I don't even know about this hehe but I am learning
I've actually started working on a prototype since my Pumpkin RQ278E is constantly getting on my nerves. Here's what I've accomplished with it so far using Arch Linux Manjaro 20.04 64bit since there is not a fully functional android port for Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb RAM:
384khz playback of high res sound files using an Inno-maker HIFI Hat (DAC)
Bluetooth streaming with APT-X
Spotify functionality using KODI
Google Play Music via Chromium Browser
Very minimal GPS mapping using Navit and a USB GPS receiver

Would be more efficient to go use OpenAuto Pro instead? It runs linux, use Raspberry PI and work with Android Auto out of the box.
Support event based scripting regarding, car shutdown , power-up (control relays for amps and stuff)
Just saying to save you time!
