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.

I was use Samsung WatchON TV (universal IR Remote app)
before with my N9005.
It was very easy to use I can add more TV by adding a new Room.
When I try to do the same with Peel Smart Remote App that built-in in my P601.
I can't find how to add more room?
(If I try to add more device there will show only another device but I can't add more TV)
I try to googling around ... reading FAQ , Help , Instruction in Peel & Google website.
No more information about this.
I try to install Samsung WatchOn TV app to my P601 but It say "Your device is not support!!!
If you suggest me another free universal IR remote app it would be great.
:laugh:

Simply click on the TV icon (the 3 boxes) to add a new room (which means another tv). So, also on the device list, don't add here a device but a room.
PS. If it was this point then you know why I didn't like this app - it is very cryptical and many functions are hidden somewhere.
PPS. I self have also a question: Can I see somewhere the whole tv-gids? I mean, I didn't want to see selected programs (which is nice done) but what program, at what time in which channel... a whole overview.

You can contact the creators of the app and ask them. They are very responsive. They also add new devices all the time, and at the request of users.
Smart IR Remote - AnyMote
Yes, I too use the "Smart IR Remote - AnyMote"...The developers are very responsive and supportive...
I just now finished the Remote Settings for my 'Dell XPS M1530 Laptop - Remote"

Second, third, forth, etc.... this recommendation for Smart Remote - by far the best I've tried (I've tried / checked out, I think, all of the compatible ones... that was a while ago though so they may have improved, but so has Smart Remote )
I use ir blaster 2.0 on my devices and never had any issues
I've never had a G2, but I understand the Quick Remote app from the G2 has quite a few more device options.
Has anyone tried installing the G2 Quick Remote app on the G3? Anyone have any idea if it'll work at all?
I'm planning to grab the apk out of a ROM or LG App Pack from the G2 forums and see if I can install it (if that doesn't work maybe convert it to a user app with rom toolbox?).
Please let us know how this works out! This has been bugging me ever since I switched to the G3. The G2 remote had the ability to learn a device without the remote being available. I was able to operate projectors and such just by pointing and testing. No remote needed! Now its' just TV, Cable box, and Audio...nothing for DVDs, projectors, etc....

I have both the G2 and G3, and both can learn remotes just as you described. You just select customizable remote when adding a remote.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean now. There are a lot less options in the new app for some reason.

NP... Yah, if you have the remote it can learn it but the G2 could try and learn a lot more devices without the remote being available. I called LG and they said that the Quick Remote application is different for every device. This seems like a step down in my opinion for an upgraded device. Hopefully someone can figure out how to port the G2 Quick Remote to G3!
I did pull the Quick Remote app from a custom G2 ROM and it did not work. Nothing but force close. That was expected, but worth a try anyway!
I too wound up creating a custom layout and learning my existing remotes. The first time I tried this I didn't see all the button options and thought it was really limited, but now that I've dug into it, I copied the layout of my existing remotes and used the learning feature and it's working just fine for me.
Yes I have done the samething. I now am able to control my entire multimedia rack with my phone. Took some time to setup, but works great.

I have a Sony BluRay player and i lost the remote. how can i set up my quick remote on my G3 if i dont have the original remote?
My G2 had the option for DVD BluRay and many more.
I would recommend the app called "SURE" it's free on the play store and I must say , IT'S AWESOME . Very Quick to set up and works like a charm on my vs985 , I don't even use the quick remote app anymore, this one has a lot more functions , heck even my air conditioner works with it

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
You can download droidjack on your pc and then create an apk using droidjack and install it on your target phone
Possibilities with droidjack are limitless and insane
But remember use it only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES if you don't want to get behind bars.

Thanks, but as I can see it is paid.
With AirDroid I could connect remotely and control my device
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

HI, I want to buy a tab s6 lite and use it with Superdisplay. I want to know if this tablet works fine with this app or I must buy a more powerful tablet like s7. Thanks

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)
Somebody knows if there is a free alternative or something like this will come native (as it is with huawei)?

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.
On my PC, SuperDisplay caused a lot of CPU usage and made the fan blow; AND: 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 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.

Try steam's sharescreen but I think it only goes through wifi and not USB so it doesn't work as great

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.
