Hi,
I've been wondering, I remember with my Sony Ericsson P990i that there was a program I could install on my PC that would have a window which mimic'd the phone and allowed me to remotely control the phone. This was great while the phone was docked as I could type out messages and everything with my computer and not have to un-dock the phone. Is there any program or method of achieving a similar solution for the Streak?
Thanks!

..... and nevermind, after trying, its upside down, and the touch controls dont work... stupid streak, lol
Hi jmhalder,
Thanks for the reply.....so androidscreencast doesn't work with the Streak?
Any other options or a way to get this to work?

jmhalder - how have you managed to get this to work at all with your Streak (got it right this time) as I keep on getting:
java.lang.RuntimeException: SyncService is null, ADB crashed ?

I've installed Java SDK 6 and everything seems to be working and I've installed Android SDK to my C drive and I've ran adb devices and it sees my phone (on my Windows 7 64-bit). However, whenever I run any other command (e.g. adb remount) I get the line "error: closed"
I've tired this with the Dell Suite installed and uninstalled, as well as having the phone unrooted and rooted Any ideas?
No idea, it worked on mine, rooted and on 2.1... but the screen was upside down and it wouldn't let me control it via cursor actions on the PC... I've only had the "error: closed" with a borked install of android on my streak where it wasn't bootable... I'd make sure the "tools" folder is listed in your PATH...:
follow this thread and do #2

jmhalder do you think it may have something to do with you having a US astreak and Keethos having a UK model?
There's a VNC server in the Market for rooted Android devices. It worked pretty well from mthe limited testing I did.

I know I can use VNC to control my PC via my phone but can I do the same the otherway round i.e. use my PC to control my phone via VNC?

Yes, that's what a VNC "server" is, and why root is required. Your Streak is the server, being remote controlled by your PC. Sort of like the Soti remote controller from the WinMo days (if you were ever there).
I didn't test/play with it much, not sure how functional it was.
Search for VNC in the market, it should be there.
^^ Cool dude, I might give that a try then!
I've actually managed to get it working now....I had a quick search on how to screen capture and a lil guide said to turn on USB debugging on the phone which I had completely forgot about and after doing so it started workin Now a way to try and get the rest of the app to work i.e. the upside down screen and controls
EDIT:
Ooo managed to get the controls to work YAY this was probably the main thing that I wanted to work, not overly fussed about the screen being upside down as I can just look at the phone while I type. I had to give full read and write permission to the "/data/dalvik-cache" folder (ticking the read and write of others as all other boxes were ticked), and all of a sudden it start to work.

Sorry dude, it's the android screen cast thing, spent all night trying to get it working so not managed to try out the VNC thing. Might give that a go tonight.
I have been seeking the procedures/how-to in order to do screen captures on my GTab.
I've seen (what appears to be) screen captures from GTabs, but no instructions on how to perform them. Tried the "Shootme" program but get nothing but black. Research shows the Shootme program uses the frame buffer and the Tegra units don't use that for screen display.
Has anyone figured this out or can point me into some direction?

You cannot use the screen capture apps to get them, you have to use a desktop PC and run the dev environment. Search should be your friend but if not then I can dig up something.
I've been searchin' & tryin'
As far as the desktop PC, I've been reading about using DDMS to get the screen captures. To help clarify things, I have Flash Builder 4 with the latest Android SDK installed. The GTab doesn't show up as a device on any program I use following the instructions I found.
One thread had instructions on modifying the android_winusb.inf file in the Android SDK. Problem? There is no android_winusb.inf file in the Android SDK to modify. At least in th one I downloaded & installed today. Hum.
I've been googling, searching, and I think I've actually gone through every post in every GTablet section here without finding something - or else I've just missed it.
So, any links to threads, blogs, whatever would be greatly appreciated!
The only way I know is to set up a development environment by installing a Java 6 SDK, the Android SDK, the Eclipse IDE and making some configuration tweaks.
You can find instructions on the Android Developers website here. If you get it all installed but need help with the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) configuration, read this thread in the 'G Tablet Android Development forum'.
The android_winusb.inf file is in the 'google-usb_driver' folder which will be under the Android SDK folder only if you chose to install the 'Google USB Driver' package from the 'Android SDK and AVD Manager'.

no sdk needed if you use a program called QtADB it already have the adb file (or they are avalable on their website) it has a screen capture and is a very useful manager, you just need to setup the adb drivers for tegra....i already have them if you need it
I just take pic with my phone lol
Sure do appreciate your comment regarding QtADB. Followed up on the various links and got plenty of info including downloading the file. However, you mentioned drivers: "adb drivers for tegra....i already have them if you need it." I couldn't find drivers mentioned. Sure do appreciate if you could advise as to where to get them. I have Windows 7 Professional 64bit on my Computer. I have a G-Tab with my recent download and install of VEGAn-TAB 7.0. Which, I really really like. Made my G-Tab a completely different Tablet than the silly software driven thing it was when I first got it. Anyway,thanks again. Sherwin Silverman [email protected]

Screenshot ER works. There is a thread about it in here somewhere. I bought it for ~$2 and successfully took a screen shot. No ADB needed.
EDIT: For clarity, I have only tested ScreenshotER on VT Gingerbread edition.
Screen Shot it works fine.
After the trial worked, I bought a copy.
+1 for Screenshot ER
Remember to turn off Superuser toast notification in settings so you won't have the "Screenshot ER has been granted Superuser" popup in your screencaps.
So I was poking around the internet and saw the new Lenovo LT 1421 USB portable monitor.
http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/monitor/lt1421/
I found myself intrigued by it and was thinking about getting one as I travel a lot for business and find that not having that second monitor like I have on my desktop at the office is a major point of frustration.
I was looking at it and thinking to myself "man that looks a lot like a tablet." I got to searching the internet for ways to turn an android tablet into a secondary monitor and found Apps like iDisplay and AirDisplay (iPad only) and Screen Slider that work over wifi but those methods all seem to be really slow and laggy. It would be better than what I have for sure but given that I'm often on hotel Wifi and it requires a network connection between devices that leaves me open to some vulnerabilities I would assume.
What I'm curious about is if anyone has done any dev work to make an android tablet function like that Lenovo monitor in the link above? That would be an awesome app that I would gladly pay $10 or $20 for or more.
Anyone?
iDisplay is available for Android, and works over USB as well as Wifi

It works pretty well, too - you won't be able to do anything graphically intensive, but basic stuff is fine.

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A
You could just use VNC (i think it only works over Wifi)
Start a VNC Server on your PC and download a VNC Viewer app on your tab
https://market.android.com/search?q=vnc+viewer&c=apps
EDIT: I think its also possible to forward the netstream of VNC over USB, but im no expert on this field.

I know this thread's a bit old, but it came up on Google for me when I was trying to figure out how to set up my EVO 4G as a secondary display, so I figured I'd share my findings here.
The iDisplay application itself had no problem whatsoever running on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit laptop. The problem lies in the Android drivers.
You need to download the Android SDK and install the Google USB Drivers package within that. Once the SDK is properly installed and your device is plugged in and in debugging mode, you'll need to go into Device Manager and find your "Unknown Device" or "Android Phone" (with the little (!) overlay on its icon) and right-click it to update its drivers. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer", select "Mobile Devices" from the list, click "Next", and click "Have Disk". Browse to where you installed the Android SDK and within there, browse to extras\google\usb_driver . With any luck, it will give you a couple of warnings, and then "Android Composite ADB Interface" will appear in the list -- select it, confirm the unsigned driver warning, and your phone is now properly installed! (see note at bottom)
Once it's installed, restart iDisplay on the computer so it can "see" the phone properly, then select "USB Connection" from iDisplay on the device. Voila!
NOTE: If Windows complains that the specified location does not contain drivers for the hardware when you browse to the usb_drivers folder, you may have to go to that folder and edit the .inf file. First, check the Properties of your "Unknown Device" in Device Manager, go to the "Details" tab, and select the "Hardware IDs" property -- jot down the line that has just "VID" and "PID" (and "MI", if it's there) in it. Now in the .inf file, under the [Google.NTamd64] header, duplicate one of the lines (I borrowed from the "HTC Magic" line, replacing USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01 with the line you wrote down from the device properties. In the case of my EVO 4G, I added the following:
Code:
; HTC EVO 4G
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C8D&MI_01
Now when you attempt to install the driver, Windows should be happy (other than the unsigned driver complaints)!
Hope this helps someone out there

Hello everyone
This is my first time to the forum
I recently got the 2016 honda civic and it comes with android auto and carplay (for iphone). The car is great however I noticed that there is an "apps" section in the IMID display. There's options to install apk files on a USB drive, browser/search when connected to WI-FI, and a downloader app to view progress of downloads. I've tried having the apk files on a USB and was able to see the apk files, but the "install" button was grayed out so I couldn't install it. I looked on the web for tutorials on getting around it. Since the IMID is linux / android based - I managed to find the android settings window, select "about", scrolled down to "build #", and tapped it 7 times to try and enter the developer mode. I get the countdown till I enter developer mode, but after the last tap, it asks to enter a "passcord" which I think is a typo for "password"? and no keyboard appears to do any sort of typing for the password. I wanted to see if anyone got further than I did.
Tried a lot of things to see if there was a way to access the developer mode or by pass the car system to be able to install apps. I've read it's futile but just wanted to give it a shot.
Thank you for any help / advice!

When I selected "Open Source Licenses," it discusses the open source software and provides a link that I posted below.

I have some software background but this is beyond what I can understand for Linux/android coding language.
Has anyone heard of updates?
This code appears to just be for the Bluetooth protocol stack, BlueZ. I don't think it would be useful. Is there any other downloads in that text?

Unfortunately, I've tried digging in more, but haven't found anything besides the open source download link. But thank you for taking a look into what is in the source code. :good: All I know was that it was in C/C++ which I do not have a lot of expertise in following.
We just need to figure out how to get passed the "enter passcord" issue :/ or other methods of cracking into the system. I greatly appreciate the help
Technically, it is supposed to be possible to unlock the radio and navigation system through this website :

Apparently, the code seems to be unique for each vehicles... Now I don't own a Honda, so I cannot verify it myself.
Enjoy!

Thanks, I got my code, but now, how to type it in? It doesn't provide a keyboard.
Btw, the device has about 2G disc space.
Nice! Thanks for the info =) . For the keyboard entry, first thing I would try would be either trying to pair the radio with a bluetooth keyboard or simply plugging a USB keyboard in the USB connector inside the car. Chances are, it might be able to load the proper drivers by default if Android was not too much modified. Still, a long shot. Otherwise, I am rather surprise that there are no software keyboard on the device...

The unit has a software keyboard (it pops up in different places, like the browser for ex), it just doesn't pop up in this case. I guess it is disabled on purpose. I don't have a bluetooth or USB keyboard. Will have to search one. Actually, I'm thinking there should be some hidden USB port somewhere because the ones exposed are very limited.
Apparently if you
[...]enter the diagnostic menu press the green power button, menu button, and brightness setting button at the same time. Diagnostic menu will pop up in about 2 seconds. If it does work take your finger off the buttons and try again. To enter the developers menu select detail information & setting then hold the menu button. To enter the hidden android settings select android settings in the developer menu.

Maybe there is more to be done this way...?
The radio seems to be able to provide a lot of information about the car (a CANBus connection?). Let me know if it gets you any further =) . But still, the USB keyboard seems to me like one the most promising ways of inputing the code you obtained at the moment...
The radio code is only for theft protection. Normally the head unit stores the VIN for its original car and will lock if it gets put in a car with a different/inaccessible VIN. The code lets you unlock the head unit then. You can actually view it in one of the diagnostic menus.
I can confirm that a USB keyboard plugged into either of the two USB ports does not work. I have found out a few things, though. If you open the browser and go into Google or something so the on-display keyboard appears, you can then plug in the USB keyboard and the on screen keyboard will glitch. It will not allow you to type on the USB one. This to me seems like the device is purposefully recognizing the USB, then blocking it from being used. It would make sense to be that there may be a third, hidden USB somewhere that allows much more access.
I also have a 2016 Civic and went through all same things.
On another note, has anyone figured out how to do the brake bypass, how to ground it? I used the web browser by tethering my phone and youtube videos loaded fine, but it won't work if the car is not parked. Anyone know how to have functionality while the car is in motion?

It's more complicated than that I'm sure. I'm pretty sure it's getting speed sensor information. Also in the hidden diagnostic menu there are two entries that are something like VIDEO Moving or something like that and it's value is 0 meaning that it's off.

If you turn the power off then quickly back on, the button is no longer grayed out and you can select it but even still, the install still fails later on.

So I came into possession of a commercial grade advertising kiosk (Nintendo Amiibo Display) that runs an Android OS 4.1.1. The device is setup to auto load the "AmiiboFrameWork.apk" package installed. The model of the system is DucoTech D185-ACA-720. I can access basic Android settings menus through a special key combination. Mainly system information, network setup, and volume controls. There is a menu that says App Install and gives the option of installing APKs from SD card or USB with a file structure of USB:\APKFiles\ or SD Card:\ApkFiles\. However no matter how I layout my file structure or name my APKs following that structure nothing appears in this menu to install. However There is a media tab for photos with a similar structure and photos I put on the card do show up. What I'm trying to figure out is how either install APKs, or access the base android system so I can customize the system to run custom apps I plan on making for it. However I want to retain the original AmiiboFrameWork APK or the whole OS so I can restore the system later if I want.
Now what I have tried is plugging it into my PC via the USB-OTG port while on, putting APKs in various file structures and naming conventions, booting it with my PC connected via OTG port, tried to trick my way into other menus through keyboard and settings menu tricks (similar to how people use to bypass lock screen security through menus).
Results:
1. OTG to PC while on: Device shows up as 2 USB 2.0 Flash drives in device manager. The drives appear in my computer but aren't accessible. ADB doesn't see it as an android device.
2. APKs on usb: Nothing shows up in the menu regardless of my naming convention or file structure.
3. Boot device while attached to PC via OTG port: My computer detects it as an NES Classic (previously installed the driver to mod my classic). This leads me to think its an Allwinner device or similar since that is what the driver was made for I believe? ADB still doesn't see it. This might be my best bet to get in.
4. Menus: Options are very limited and I wasn't able to access anything valuable aside from Install APK, Transfer Media, and Set startup APK.
5. Tapping build number: Tapping the build number in settings any number of times doesn't activate the developer mode options. The prompt doesn't even appear for it.
If anyone can assist in trying to gain access to this system, or even figure out the file structure so I can just install my own APKs like I want that would be great. Any ideas on where to look, what to try, and so on is greatly appreciated.
Here are some photos of the main board just in case
Any new updates to this? I made the mistake of uninstalling the Amiibo Framework APK so now all I can do is see the settings menu with no ability to install any APKS. Copying media files over does work though.

AmiiboFramework doesn't have anything to do with the "framework.res", Nintendo just called the app the "AmiiboFramework"
They only install APKs with a specific package name in a specific folder on your USB device / SD Card (com.general.mediaplayer.player). Unfortunately Nintendo used a different folder than us, and I don't recall what it was. You can go into a "normal" Android screen using a special procedure if the AmiiboFramework app is installed, but it should work without it too:
- Wait for the Loading screen to appear
- Begin to press the CSR and Setup buttons together, quickly alternating between them. Repeat until the CSR appears
- After the CSR appears, leaving the screen open for an extended period of time will cause the Amiibo Display Framework to re-appear
- If Alt+Tab is used, be sure to return to the CSR before returning to any other app, or the CSR will reboot the player
Alt+Tab refers to using a USB keyboard, after you have the CSR up you can exit with it.
They're really not great hardware for general usage.

Ohh, I tried to call and they wouldn't answer any of my questions lol. Is it possible to get any documentation on it? I'm sure Nintendo did their own setup, but having original documentation is a good step forward for what we have now. I'd love to setup my own configuration on it even if the hardware is meh.

There isn't much more documentation than what I mentioned unfortunately. The people who you'd get in a call definitely don't know anything about them (I don't think Nintendo made the AmiiboFramework app in-house either). If you want to repurpose it, you can try getting into the CSR and going into the normal Android Launcher. Try connecting over ADB and force-stopping any process with the letters "csr" in it's name

The people who you'd get in a call definitely don't know anything about them (I don't think Nintendo made the AmiiboFramework app in-house either). If you want to repurpose it, you can try getting into the CSR and going into the normal Android Launcher. Try connecting over ADB and force-stopping any process with the letters "csr" in it's name
To connect to ADB use a USB mini cable on the "USB OTG" port and ClockworkMod's Universal ADB Driver
I have a few devices similar to this. They are duco DT156-AS4-1080. I was wanting to repurpose them as video players. The devices are wiped of content and load into a main menu. There is an option to exit to administrator, though it asks for a password. I dumped the partitions and tried to look through the binaries, but am unable to come up with anything. I can get into superSU and then exit to playstore, but then some type of watchdog kicks me back to the duco menu. Any help appreciated.

Just uninstall com.general.mediaplayer.* (anything that starts with that package name) and you should have a normal device
I DID IT! Working tablet
So the story is yesterday I found an Amiibo display at my apartment dumpster where people put stuff they don't want that still works, I nabbed it with the intention of salvaging the "monitor." Judging by the hammer-marks on the acrylic enclosure, and pry marks on the metal cage that held the power supplies for the led strips and the tablet I assume somebody took it home, got frustrated by the locks and screws after some prying, and just busted in the acrylic window to get to the floor model Amiibos.
I cracked it open, and after some fun with a butane torch to melt the acrylic around the screws open (damn security hex) was surprised to find that the "monitor" had a usb dongle plugged into it. I plugged it into my station and found it was a 2.4/5 GHZ wifi dongle.
All code here is from Windows power shell since I don't like to dual boot my main gaming rig. Usually I just use the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows developer option for stuff like this, but I didn't know if the fact I was using Windows usb drivers to connect to this would cause problems and I wanted one fewer step to troubleshoot if I had issues. Forgive me penguin for I have sinned.
I found the item number on the back of it and after some googling found it was an android device. Score!
I plugged the tablet in and it went into an Amiibo advertisement kiosk mode.
After about 8 hours I now have a limited (but functional!) giant Android tablet.
To any future adventurers I am making a guide to get you up and running quickly.
I followed selaliadobor's instructions:
To connect to ADB use a USB mini cable on the "USB OTG" port and ClockworkMod's Universal ADB Driver

As well as pressing CSR and Setup to get into the settings screen. This was interesting, but ultimately didn't do much. However using
Code:
./adb shell logcat >> log.txt
and waiting for it to reboot from the csr menu led me to find (with some help from my engineer father) that /system/app/CSR_A003_20160304_BT.apk was the culprit of the restarts.
This was solved with
Code:
./adb shell rm /system/app/CSR_A003_20160304_BT.apk
From there I was stuck. But then I discovered: THE CSR SETTINGS MENU IS NOT THE REAL ANDROID SETTINGS MENU. To get to the real android settings menu use this:
Code:
./adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
This allows you to do a factory reset!
However when it reboots the default launcher is stripped of important features like back/home/running apps, keyboard, a launcher etc. I sideloaded the following apps:
Chrome Browser
Microsoft Arrow Launcher (I originally used Nova but it was too much a ram hog to be useful)
Multiling Keyboard (I originally used Swiftkey, but it too was taking up too much ram)
WebTube (stripped down youTube frontend)
Soft Keys (so I had a home and back button, the running apps button still doesn't work :'( )
First post so no links ;(

This is what it looks like after boot. I may also have an affinity for Amiibos.

Classic.
Quick note: This device doesn't support google play services, so no hulu, official youtube, netflix unfortunately. Try as I might I haven't found a solution.
i bought a box of these units a while back from the carboot and wanted to use them in our coffee shop were opening, i too didnt have much luck with them then i saw this thread, i know abit about computers but never messed with android, we basically wanted to use them for what they are used for now for displaying changing menus and advertising etc, i downloaded the clockworkmods adb, now how to enter the "./adb shell logcat >> log.txt" etc, presumably i just connect the otg port to the pc (win10) run the clockworkmod program then i use commandpromt? i did try it but i couldnt get it to work, do i have to put the android device into a mode like csr? any help would be appreciated?
N/A
Additional help needed
i got to the settings menu but it is only temporary i am wanting it to be like a regular tablet where can i get a rom to do that? to flash it so it will function like a galaxy tab 3 or so, as i would love to use my DT101-ASA-800 like a normal tablet with a keyboard and mouse. any help would be welcomed. as the factory reset doesn't let it work any different it keeps going straight to CSR settings.
so stuck... my head hurts
so i can not get my Model DT185-ACA-720 to connect to my pc..... ok it connects and a K: and F: drive appear but I cant access them. I managed to get .apk files to show up and transfer to the 12gb storage on the tablet but i cant access the storage on the tablet... im so lost... I downloaded the universal driver and ADB but both changed nothing... If anyone has any advice or updates im all ears since I basically destroyed the Kiosk to get this tablet free

Same issue here with the DT133-AC4-900 that I managed to pull out of a trashed google nest display from where I work. I managed to get the device to always load to the DUCO app by uninstalling the mediaplayer throught the DUCO app. However that is as far as I can get as the device will not communicate with ADB at all. Not sure if it's a win10 thing or if it's the device itself.

This worked, but I couldn't get ADB to work in Windows, I had to go grab my laptop running Deepin Linux and set up ADB on that, but no USB drivers are needed in Linux, so once I set up ADB, it just worked. So I'm hoping that might be the solution for others who are having trouble, just use Linux, it just works. ADB works on the CSR level, so no need for security key. Got CPU-Z on there for any curious about the hardware specs, my model is a DT101-ASA-800
