Hello
Wondering if I can ask some advice. I'm looking to start a car PC project soon based on Android, I will probably go with Android x86 Kitkat as I was previously but I guess something like this should be agnostic with many versions and devices.
I am looking to interface a graphical LCD, such as one of these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They are usually controlled over a serial connection which presumably wouldn't be an issue with a USB-Serial adapter (or even with Android x86, a physical serial port on the PC). So assuming connections are possible, are there any apps to display metadata like Now Playing songs etc on such a screen? Maybe even a small menu to change music etc? Even to display any data at all I'm thinking I may be able to adapt something to suit my needs.
On Linux/BSD, a program called LCDProc is a common choice for controlling such screens, is there anything similar available for Android? Obviously it wouldn't be the main screen on the device it would just be an accessory to display metadata and other info.
Any information pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
Hi
I think the best place to ask this this question is in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section, so please stand by while we have your thread moved there.
Good luck!

I was attracted to this tablet as a replacement for a recently sold off Nook Color as it was a 10'' device but running 2.x rather than 3.x. I enjoy HC on my SGT 10.1 but I missed the feel of 2.x as well as certain apps not supporting 3.x and at any rate needed a machine with ports and expandable memory for storing reading material.
To that end I know that the GTab has the same resolution of 1024x600 as the Nook Color and I was wondering if apps scaled the same way (full screen on NC but not too pretty sometimes)?
An example would be Age of Zombies.
TL;DR version:
How well do apps tend to fit the screen?
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter and if this question has already been resolved I would greatly appreciate a link or keywords for searching.
here's hte easiest way to respond to your question. Age of Zomibes running on Calk/Clem Gtablet:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you very much for the quick and detailed response. I think I will be going for the GTab now.
Hello, I developed the program to replace Pad Music Player for music players built into Android systems because I was tired of not being able to have a decent playlist with just the songs I wanted.
The program was created for the Tablet because the space is much broader and you can add video directly to a lot of functionality.
It may someday be ported to smartphone by changing the layout of the various components even if trying it on my Nexus, and there are all the features are great, there is only a few problems graph.
If you want you can go try it on my site:
www.simosoftprojects.com
or you can download it from the Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=simosoftprojects.musicplayerforpad
Let me know if you like and if you have any problems.
We placed a few pictures.

Wow it great man!! Just what I was looking for!!, meabe after you can add a equilizer like power amp, the default equalizer of android is not cool -5 bands-
iDisplay
Turn your phone into the second monitor for Mac or PC! From developer of IM+.
Add a second monitor to your Mac or PC! iDisplay is designed to increase your productivity by maximizing the viewable area on your main monitor.
Ideal for multi-taskers who want to increase their efficiency, iDisplay expands the viewable area of a user's main monitor by moving other needed programs such as IM, Twitter and news gadgets to an external display using their Android tablet or mobile device. This frees up your main monitor to only display programs for which more view space is needed.
NOTE:
In order to use iDisplay please download the free desktop part to your computer (PC or Mac) from:
http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/download.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
I don't know if many people are aware of this app, but I heard about it from a friend of mine, and just thought of giving it a try. And believe me guys, I am fairly impressed by this app!

Nice! I've heard of it already. But I'll give it a try
Great idea

Hi guys.
I know CM can do this, but the volume keys are quite uncomfortable in my xperia phone. My phone has 3 front physical buttonsn and I would love to do something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it possible?
Thanks.
nobody?
I would also like to know this.
For any former TCPMP users on Windows Mobile, you could easily map buttons to do all sorts of things within the player. Nothing has come along for Android that is anywhere near the capabilities of this player. You'd probably need root to do this on Android but I think there is demand for it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far I know, you can edit the keyboard layout to make that. Te problem is that you would lose the back/menu buttons...

If someone can show you a solution, it will get your phone model sales higher. Because your requirement seems very useful.

Hello fellow XDA-ers
I was looking around on the internet, and I found this:

Pantech's SMP-301 "SKY the Player"
A relatively unknown PMP, that never made it past Korea, made by Pantech. Based on that site, the player comes with 32 GB Internal Memory, a 3.7" 480x800 AMOLED display, and from small research, I hear it's capable of 1080p video playback without conversion.
There's one thing which I feel is a let down to this device though, and it's got Android 2.1 Eclair on it, and I have tried to look for developments for this device and found none.
My question is this, do any of you know of android developments for this device, if not, based on experience and perhaps knowledge, how difficult would it be to port a Gingerbread, if not ICS Build on the device? I'm thinking a good starting point would be to work from other developments on Pantech devices already.
Thoughts guys? :O
