Hiya, so I was just given a Logicom E731 (grappy cheapass tablet) because they cracked the overlay glass that detects fingers / input. The LCD is bright and intact and android boots fine but I'm not going to buy the replacement part for ~$20 + shipping when the device is bought for 50€. Can one easily gain control via the USB 2.0 micro B port and install debian/ubuntu/whatever to turn this into a usable device? carputer/server... Does it have brewtoof?
I'm sure you're jealous of my photography skillz http://i.imgur.com/HBCKJaT.jpg

Basics. I have a Coby MID-7042 tablet. The touch panel cracked on it so it is useless and cost to much to get fixed. With that said I am now using the tablet as an Android TV. I have hooked the tablet up to my HDMI TV and am using a mouse on the USB port to control the tablet. The thing is I am thinking of ripping the tablet apart and removing the screen and battery and other items. The thing is if I remove the LCD screen then I cannot get into recovery if needed and I cannot see the system booting on the HDMI connection.
Is there any way to force the HDMI connection to be the primary or will this happen naturally when the LCD panel is disconnected?
Since Android is Linux shouldn't there be a value somewhere that allows the selection of what screen is the primary. I know this can be done since there are quite a few Android TV boxes out there that use the HDMI connection as the primary display.
If you can help at all that would be great!
Thanks

Hey there. I really need someone's help here. See, my Samsung Galaxy S3 has survived a lot of throws, drops, scuffs and scratches and it works great. However I hit the final blow last night when my phone broke into a few pieces. Now it's all back together the only damage done is ;
The Case is deformed
The Front Glass is cracked
And the touch screen no longer lights up nor does it respond to any touch input.
I'm trying to find a way to project my phone's screen onto my laptop without the use of apps or extra cables. Only cable I have is the standard USB Charging Cable. Is there any way I can use this alone and a WIFI Connection to display my phones screen onto my laptop?
Hi all,
I'm new on this forum, and I'm building a DIY tablet with Orange Pi & A20 SoC (maybe I will change for LeMaker Bass) & Android 4.2.2 (v.5 with Bass).
This is a 17.3' screen tablet. I already have a IPS screen, and all works, 4h30 autonomy
Anyway, now I'm looking for a cheap but quality solution for a touch screen. So, multitouch, and easy interface: USB is the better choice for me.
I have seen the "HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 t" touch screen. About 90$ in Chineese shops. The others touch screen are about 180$, because not a serial manufacturing...
Here a pic of the PCB (attached file)
So, my question:It seems that the chip is eGalax (so no problem for the driver: /drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c), and the interface looks USB (by looking CN1 ref) -> VDD, D+, D-, Ground
But, because of norms of USB VDD, D-, D+, Ground: D+ and D- are inversed... It distrub me a little.
Does somebody can confirm this is really an USB device ?
Thanks
Okay I've this 8 inch tablet whose touch is broken from a long time ago. It's been rejected by costumer service centre and touch isn't available EVERYWHERE!
So is there any way I can use this tablet at least for reading books? This tablet cost me 14K INR and I'm not gonna waste it for sure. I've Galaxy Note4, but it's screen isn't big enough for reading books.
Tablet doesn't support OTG.
By the way, if I plug in touch frame of any 7 inch tablet, will it work?
(Of course it can be controlled by ADB command and a software. But I won't turn my computer on for this, I would then better read my book on PC lol!)
Early Thanks for reply?
If you can see screen and just plug an usb mouse.
Well, my Rog Phone 1 512gb had a battery time of an hour or so and a non functional bottom USB so I bought a new and probably fake battery and port.
I bungled the opening procedure and cracked the display to the point och it being all black, but the phone works with external display.
Oh, the back is also cracked.
I have a bunch of accessories such as the gamevice and mobile dock along with a battery.
The question is easy, A new display costs around $60.
Is it worth it to repair the phone in 2022/2023 since it is both old and have limited updates?
It will primarily be used for media such as movies and gaming (cloud and emulation).
