Hey guys, I am kind of new to this forum and to android's all in all but I have alot of experience with coding but was just looking for someone to push me in the right direction.
I am very interested in putting a nexus 7 in my car as a head unit and want to add a back up camera to this. Right now I have a composite feed run to the front of the car with a camera attached and was wondeirng if anyone had a solution for a module that will convert the analog camera signal to a digital one -- USB. I found one on ebay but am not exactly sure what is supported by android or not if someone could takea quick look over it.

Thank you again!

Hi everbody,
i bought me an Android Mini Pc on a technic expo:
EU2000 TV BOX Android 4.0 AllWinner A10 1G RAM 8G Built-in 5.0MP Camera And Mic HDMI AV Output with Stand and Wifi.
I dont know if it is allowed to post a shop link, otherway you will find for more details the device on "geekbuying".
I am very satisfied with the device and it works alright. Nevertheless, it has build in camera and lets say a very customized Android 4.0 running. For example also after reseting a spezific Skype Contact is still the main User and not deletable. Also i am sure that fact is because i bought a used one on a expo i would like to flash the device and install a clean rom, exspecially because of the build in camera.
I could not find any thread dealing with this device, so my question if there is anybody there who already has experience with the device or knows a good rom for it and maybe can tell me where to find an installing manuell.
Moreover, i use the device with a airmouse remotecontrol, which also works very well. It works with a USB Dongle i put in in the backside of the device. The Remotcrontroll has on one side a keyboard with a return, and page up and down button and on the other side the main Android Buttons, volume keys and setting keys.
Therfore, i am also afraid the remotecontroll will not work again after flashing the system, or it is using own drivers.
Maybe, anybody has experience with it and can help me. For those who are interested in the device more generally i also will answer your questions.
Thanks and kind regards
Hello all,
I'm after a little bit of guidance on how I might add Bluetooth support to an Android powered Car stereo. It is a "Road Veles" single DIN WinCE and Android device with a 7" flip out screen. The reason I bought this stereo is to run an app by the name of MSDroid. This app was to connect to my vehicle's engine management system via Bluetooth.
Can't post links yet, easy search on Google for Road Veles, look for hit on Chinavasion
The specs say it has Bluetooth, but having tested the device out on the work bench what the specs don't say is that the bluetooth is only accessible for handsfree from WinCE, there is no bluetooth for Android. WiFi via USB dongle works great. I have purchased but not yet received a combined WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I would very much like to have this combined dongle work with the device. The Bluetooth control is not visible under WiFi control inside settings like it is in my Android phone.
Can anybody point me in the direction of where to start with this? Can I root the device and mod to add bluetooth? Is there another ROM I could run? I have done a lot of searching but can't see much at all out in internet land on this stereo!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Arran
Hi, I'm not sure how these sort of things usually work, what sort of dollar value would usually be associated with making a some tweaks to an Android build? ...
Hi again, still looking into this. Any ideas how to tweak the Android 4.0.4 OS to make bluetooth appear inside the settings menu?
Bit of a weird one for you all, but here goes.
I want to be able to plug production level cameras into a smartphone or tablet, and have them read as the native camera. Looks like Android is capable of accepting a USB UVC source, since apps like CameraFi exist that allow you to plug a webcam into your phone with an OTG cable for recording. Looking around online, it looks like the Magewell USB Capture SDI device will take a camera and treat it as a USB UVC source, like any webcam.
So the hardware makes sense to me, but the last thing to figure out is how to disable the built-in camera on a phone/tablet, and instead have the OS read the external camera as the main/only one. This way, my hope would be that any apps, such as Periscope or Ustream, would automatically work with the external camera. Anyone have any ideas on how to pull that off? Any Android device brand or model will do if you have recommendations.
Thanks!

We have been discussing this at work lately and are very interested as well . We're thinking of creating a virtual android instance on a PC that has no webcam, using a device like the one you mentioned and seeing if we can trick it that way
Hello. I have a question. In Android Nougat your'e supposed to be able to split the screen to use two apps at once. What I need to find out is if it's possible to do this with two displays instead?
I just bought an Android car stereo with video-out and have an extra slot in the car panel for another display. What then would be cool would be if I can run different apps on two displays? Like the music player on the main unit and gps (like waze or something) on the other screen. I've been looking for info on this for quite some time now but can't really find anything. Not even anyone saying it's not possible?
If anyone's got knowledge on this I would be grateful.
Thanks.
Anyone?
Sorry but it seems complicated, I'm not sure you can have dual screen feature. Maybe if you Google it you'll find what you search.
