share bluetooth notifications between android devices. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to find an application that will share notifications between two android devices via Bluetooth.
heres the scenario.
i have a note 3. its my main phone.
i have a full fledged android powered watch (Iconbit Callisto 100 SW).
I want my phone to send all notifications to the watch.
I first thought of an app called tablet notifier... i find it lacking though ...
is there something better? something obviously that would have a host and client (client on the watch and host on the phone)

This is exactly what I am planning on doing. Have you found any better solution yet?
ALSO how is that watchphone? Battery life, etc? (I'm still trying to find the best one out there)

I would suggest one of my own apps to share notifications which are in same wifi network...its called anywhere notifications. You can find it in google play and in a post in this same forum.

[Q] Vizio TV hack - Add Chrome Browser

We are seeking a method to hack into the Vizio WiFi (internet enabled) TVs which we believe run on Android, and add apps. The first app would be a browser, Chrome for example.
Please let us know if you have knowledge of how to do this.

They do not run on android, unless you somehow got ahold of a brand new 2013 model that is based on the same firmware in Vizio's Co-Star (the Google TV box by Vizio) - and I'm not even sure the new line of TVs will be 'GoogleTV based', I just know they plan on dropping Yahoo... hopefully that firmware is retro-active and I can upgrade to it... doubtful, very doubtful, but still - hopefully?
My Vizio E3D470VX uses Yahoo! internet TV services.... which (IMO) suck. From what probing has been done, it appears to run on Linux, possibly a modded version of Ubuntu which supports the Yahoo! TV apps... more like widgets in my opinion, but whatever at least its 3D.
Here is what is known so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36898270
Here is what it could look like *IF* it did run android / was based on Google TV similar to the new Vizio Co-star box: http://www.googletvforum.org/forum/...into-3-000-vizio-samsung-lg-look-like-tv.html
Honestly I was kind of mad when I saw an article about the Co-Star Google TV box.... because it had the EXACT same remote sitting next to it, with the qwerty keyboard on the back, just like my remote has.... Only the qwerty keyboard on my remote never gets used and is pointless..... I really hope someone can hack this to run some form of android, or even a linux based XBMC add-on ... at the least some sort of custom firmware option... anything should be better than what it is, especially the interface for DLNA/UPNP and USB drives....
Simple solution: buy equiso from your local wal-mart. Plug it into the hdmi port in the back. From equiso, run any Android apps you want from the App Store. Need to have Wi-Fi or a wireless tether for internet access, FYI. Equiso runs Android 4.3 I believe.

[CLOSED] Export Q Function to Any Android Device

Sorry Guys,
As there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in this project and as no one stepped forward to assist, I'm afraid I'm going to have to abandon this project.
Thanks for following.
___________________________________
OK Guys,
I've run into a bit of a brick wall and need some input from other developers. One of the required APKs from the Q needs a class not included along with my CM9 or Samsung stock roms. The class appears to be called "android.os.UpdateLock". So how do I go about ripping the class out of the Nexus Q rom and injecting it into CM9? Any help would be very appreciated!$!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello All,
The Project
I'm looking to embark on a project to rip out the cloud function from the Q and install it on any android device. I want the cloud streaming of "Google" music and movies without the $300 expense.
The Progress
As of today I have the Nexus Q Deodexed, ripped out several apk files including the Nexus Q "Launcher" HubBroker.apk. I've merged the apks along with the fonts and lib folders of /system and my Galaxy Tab now boots up and runs like a Q. Primary issue outstanding is, the Nexus Q app won't detect the "galaxy Q" through bluetooth. I assume that some functions of the Q are sitting either within the bluetooth libs or that the Nexus Q has a specific bluetooth address that the app needs to see before detection.
My next attempt will be to try taking apart the Nexus Q apk and either changing its bluetooth search criteria or removing it completely. Second to that if anyone out there has a Q and has it setup on their phone, I could use the /data/data folder to extract more information about how it works. Or even better if someone knows what config file is generated on the actual nexus Q when it's set up for that first time.
You can already do that on most android devices. The Q just takes it to the big screen conveniently.
The function of being able to control the Google queue of device A from device B, C, D etc does not exist. Or at least I'm not aware of an app that does that.
I believe that I've tracked down the apk that does it on the nexus but I need to deodex the apps and can't seem to find a tool that works. Anyone out there deodex this rom yet?

This is a pretty nice project and there is nothing like this happening in Android now, besides the nexus Q. I'd like to see a future port of it to Google TV devices

Would love to have this functionality in an APK for me Google TV. Don't see why it wouldn't work, well other then no bluetooth on the Revue....
Still very interested in this thread regardless of GTV. I will be following your progress. Thanks!
.
I'm looking for this as well.
I have 3 spare HTC EVO's, and they all have HDMI out. I would like to be able to just plug them into the TV and use my other phones to control them / play music / etc. Maybe even throw XBMC on them with the ability to control from another phone..
They're slower, and less memory..but it may be doable.
Did anyone dig into this? I'd like this for the latest port of Android for a Raspberry Pi and willing to do some of the (noob)stuff myself.
That would be awesome to use any HDMI equipped phone along with the Nexus Q functionalities. I'm really interested.
I guess the problem with the missing API is that the Nexus Q runs android JB and he tried with a cm9.

Not true, Q runs ICS...
Let me know...
what I can do to help. If you give me a run down on what you would like me to try as far as pulling files from the q or my connected devices just shoot me a PM and i'll give it a shot. I too would love to add this functionality to my spare devices laying around.
I've been interested in this since day one as well. IT is what has me almost ready to fork out the money on more then one occasion. I have a party coming up and it would be fun to have my N7 as the Jukebox.
The Class issue, I'm not sure about. Here is some info that might get it started.: http://www.itcsolutions.eu/2011/08/...te-a-new-activity-class-with-manifest-editor/
AND:

It looks like it is something created with the app. Since you cut/pasted the apk into system it may not have been installed. But I'm thinking that it is something else. Some where in the android system lib's it is probably installed. Since this was a device dedicated to this purpose, they were able to install it into the system and the app calls it. I'm slowly learning to write apps (very slowly) so I am not sure beyond this, or even about this for that matter.
I do have a question. It looks like you pulled some system apps and put them in your galaxy tablet. I think a better test would be to basically replace all the /system contents of say a N7 (galaxy tab may work) with those from the Q. Then once it works, cut down the files until it stops. Then with a list of what is needed to make it work we could get down to the nitty gritty.
My guess is some more knowledgeable devs, like those who got Google Now working, would have a better idea.
I'd love to see a third party app do the jukebox function, I think a issue is license certificate (DRM) for the multiple users. I don't understand how the user is associated/authenticated for the music. One Question is if a user Ques up music then leaves does it cause that music to not be able to be played or will it still play once it's been que'd? My guess is the app just organizes the music/user who is next then when it's their turn it streams from their device in real time... but I'm really not sure about this.

Ok so here is some more detailed info for those of you still following the project.
HubBroker.apk is the app that is for all intents and purposes the "launcher" for the nexus Q. It will install on the Galaxy Tab and Nexus 7. It takes over your "home" and replaces it with a picture of the Nexus Q and a welcome sign. This app looks to be only the launcher as it doesn't do anything if you tap on it. Also having the app running doesn't allow the Nexus Q app (from your phone) to find the device.
So I assume that that the Q is controlled via bluetooth to get it setup and running. Including configuring the Wifi, network settings, etc. Oddly enough the app does send a request to android system to turn on the bluetooth and changes the bluetooth device name to Nexus Q.... The ... part is a odd string of characters that I assume is used in case you happen to have multiple Nexus Q's.
Now as just having the app doesn't seem to work (Phone finding the Q). I've replaced all the bluetooth libs with the ones from the Q. Still nothing. I've migrated all the other APK files and then I get FCs all over, and still no connection. I haven't tried replacing the whole system yet, but I assume the hardware differences would be to great. The only other piece of the puzzle I have yet to attempt it merging the kernels or at least the init parts of the kernel relating to bluetooth.
If you have any questions though let me know. I've been up and down this thing.

For that to work we'd need to get a device with similar hardware (CPU, Chipset, etc.) Not only that but it would need to have the same MTD setup unless I'm mistaken.
Actually I'm going to give that a try with the nexus 7. I'll let you know what happens, won't be till tonight though.

Galaxy nexus has very similar hardware. Someone should try porting it.

If someone still interested in the project, i'm very interested in it, i have a galaxy nexus (almost same hardware) so we can give it a try, im also a android developer, so if it need to build some apk for it to work, i could give a shot.
Anyway, if there is someone interested just post here and we do all we can to make that work.
edit: Only one problem, as I'm out of USA, i need the q apk to test if it will connect or not. I cant download from play store.
I'm sure there will be so many people interested in it. I just think that not to many of them enter this category on forum
I also need the nexus q image so I can flash it. I tried searching it but didnt find

[Q] Q: The best dock and "dock" software for Samsung S3?

Hello´s 2 all
1. Any suggestions for the best Docking station for an S3, I need one for my office desktop that I can easily slot my s3 into, with USB to recharge and remote control via Windows 7 PC.
2. Also it would be top$ is anyone has ideas to the best software/app that would give me full remote control from the PC over the S3 so that I can utilize my Windows 7 PCs Keyboard and mouse to use the S3's apps, phone, SMS etc. ?
Have tried to search the foras here but the search seems down for service.. And I cant get Google/Play to display the needed results
Airdroid is a pretty good android control app, it doesn't do exactly what you're asking, but it allows you to manages files, send texts emails and all sorts of stuff from a nice web browser interface.
As for best docking station, check the accessories forum for the i9300, there is a thread there for best accessories

I will give Airdroid a try, all ready got DroipTop that does something similar and if I root my S3 Droidtop can do remote control, screen shoots, but I am not to happy under the warant and so on to root my s3 at the current time.
Another one I have tried is Teamviewer "TV QuickSupp" app, witch is slow and only works over mobiledata network, if this worked over USB/WIFI it would be just what I was looking for
I started out writing my question in the i9300 accessories forum, but noticed that questions was not allowed :-/

Gear S Replacement

I'm really discouraged by the fact I'm locked down on this TIZEN crap. Today I shattered my phone, and could have really used the email app 'cloud magic' (my default mail app) so I could limp mode until I got a new phone. I needed to look at some past emails, no way to do this because the cloud magic app isn't available on tizen.
neither is my viper smart start app.
So, it's either time to replace with mainstream, or hack this thing.
What options do I have ?

Thanks. I did the same thing in that pinch of a moment, but it was cumbersome.
I'd still like to know if 1) I can hack the watch so it can utilize android wear or 2) what android wear watches have the ability to receive texts/emails when host phone is off.

SuperDisplay best tablet to monitor app

I ve tried a few apps that turn your tablet into a monitor but I am amazed at SuperDisplay (relatively new app), this thing has extremly low latency to the point you can watch videos and not feel like the audio is desynced AND the pen works with pressure sensitivity AND it registers the tablet like a new monitor not just mirroring. It has a 3 day trial and also make sure to plug it via USB 3.0-3.1 it felt like that improved the connection for me. If anyone knows any better or equally good apps that can also work with the spen and pressure sensitivity please share them (this app costs 10€ after the 3 day trial, also the wifi connection works pretty great too)
I've been using SuperDisplay for 2 weeks now and it's amazing how easy is the setup and how well it works, it's a must have app if you have a s6 lite without any doubt.
whats the function of that

You are able to use desktop grade drawing apps, also with how good the connection is you can even use it as a monitor or wirelessly access your computer (I ve used apps like TeamViewer or Google's remote desktop and they weren't even close to this app)
edit: actually steam's remote access app is pretty similar only when it comes to wirelessly connecting, doesn't support wired connection or spen as far as I know

It works flawlessly, it isn't a demanding program actually. There are a few false touches here and there because as far as I can tell the correction system that tablets have doesn't work, windows 10 is given the raw data from the tablet and makes a bearable enough attempt to cancel them (you get one every 10-20 minutes but you get a sense of what triggers them after a while), luckily most drawing apps have a pen only option.
I dd be more concerned with the size of the tablet, I would like a bigger tablet going from sketching on paper to tablet but I am sure you can make do with the size (tip for everyone: I like to have and to rest my palm on a notepad next to the tablet (notepad of the same thickness as the tablet) so that I don't need to take screen space for my palm)

You can go and try similar apps and tell us, for just 10€ this thing is really cheap for what it is worth.
With the Samsung tab s7 there is a free alternative and it's native "second screen" but is really less well than superDisplay.
second screen support only connexion with a pc equipped with wifi and connect the device directly to the pc without going through the network.
Also the resolution is stuck to 1080p 60hz while "superDisplay" support qhd+ 120hz with low lattency with wifi or USB

Well, scrcpy is the other way round: You can see your device on your window's computer screen. Scrcpy works very well. But beware of SuperDisplay: Once installed and running on your Windows, SuperDisplay constantly restarts an adb server to search for connected android devices with the superdisplay app running; and it applies settings to any android device connected to the pc (port forwarding and the like). In my case, SuperDisplay used Version 40 for the server, but scrcpy used Version 41. The result was odd behavior of adb.

In my case, SuperDisplay used Version 40 for the server, but scrcpy and DroidCam used Version 41. The result was odd behavior of adb. Some Android developers might be not so amused.
For that reason, I prefer Spacedesk to use my e-ink tablet as Windows screen.

Thank god I checked my thread again (albeit it a bit late) that app is amazing, but as someone mentioned it does the opposite thing SuperDisplay does.
I really needed it though, I ve been having trouble getting my tablet to sharescreen on discord (crashes) now I can simply use this app and sharescreen through my pc which is in fact more practical in the first place, because I don't need to jump into a server, make a second discord account to join the channel and then sharescreen (which most importantly crashes)
Anyone know of a solution to do this on Linux? I use a ThinkPad T14 and while I love it, I could use a little more screen real estate.

It's literally a one time payment of $10 and you just try it to see if it fits your needs, I also download cracked software all the time to see if they are worth it and then in rare occasions I buy them. There is no point to crack an app that offers a free demo.
