Hey I wonder if I can connect Remix OS to a tv using VGA cable. Also, I am looking for a OS for old laptop to upgrade my dumb tv. As you can see I am currently on Remix OS (I tried Android TV by geek till it hertz and Android x86 and they work fine but I can't connect them to a TV)
I'm a noob, I know but hopefully you will be kind and anwser me!
Edit: Remix OS really lags because I'm rockin' old hp compaq. If you can, tell me how to connect Android TV OS (on a laptop of course) to a tv (VGA-VGA, HDMI-VGA, special codes,...)
Hi,
Needs more info..like make and model TV
What are the specs of your PC
You could buy a converter VGA to dvi ( does your TV have dvi ? )
Other option
Most PC's can be upgraded to have a new video card... buy one with HDMI
Goodluck

Hi I'm using hp compaq *akward because I forgot the number*. It has 150 GB hdd and 1 GB of RAM. Currently, I have dualboot Windows 7 Proffesional-Remix OS and they both lag I really want to get an Android TV so if you know, how does tv/monitoe recognise it please tell me.I don't think tv has DVI port, because it's mounted to the wall. Could VGA-HDMI work? Thanks!

sorry i posted this under an irratating name and didnt find the button to edit the topic title
m trying to set up a desktop like experience with the xperia s, im just in the beginning and have upgraded the phone to the newest hardware.
what im trying to do is in no particular order
1) connect the x S to a preferably vga monitor
2) connect the x S to a powered USB HUB (with at least mouse and keyboard)
is it possible to have a USB HUB running with the devices and at the same time charge the phone?
3) install Ubuntu on the phone
obviously it should work 1 & 2 & 3 at the same time
maybe someone knows which problems i may encounter?
thanks in advance for answering
1) No, HDMI only
2) No, you can't charge a hub master from the hub
3) Installing Ubuntu is possible with chroot, but it will be slow.

No. The Xperia S doesn't have VGA outputs (obviously) and chrooted Ubuntu will not have hardware acceleration for the UI (well, for anything) because there are no Adreno X drivers, therefore it will fall back to vesa (software) which, combined with Unity, will be SLOW.

Basically, VGA is analog, HDMI is digital. You'll need a converter to do that, not a simple cable.

ok thanks for your insight so it is easier with a dvi monitor i guess?
is there a linux system which works without chroot??

It is not easier because HDMI and DVI formats are not compatible. And no, there's no native Linux on Qcom devices. Even if we were to build a native system, it wouldn't have any graphics acceleration.
1. use a hdmi screen
2. best bet is to use the Sony Livedock and connect a wireless keyboard/mouse combo that works from one usb dongle. (i use this http://www.staples.co.uk/technology...yboards-and-mice/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400), works like a charm.
3. not sure, sorry. i know there is a way of running some sort of windows 95 emulator or something, but don't know about any linux dist.
my setup is hdmi out to my hdmi projector with logitech k400 conntected via livedock, so the phone can charge while i'm using it for things like internet browsing/long emails etc. also if you need to connect more devices, like a separate dongle for mouse.keyboard and maybe usb flash drive and usb controller at the same time, you can use a usb hub connected to the live dock. i use a non powered one and can connect my logitech k400, an xbox controller (wired) and a usb microsd reader at the same time).
hope that helps.

As far as I am aware they are for video - no audio on DVI.
I have a DVI to HDMI cable connecting my media center pc to my tv and another one connecting the HDMI on my sky+ box with the DVI on a monitor?

I don't think the format the Xperia S uses is DVI compatible.
I thought we can install ubuntu as a virtual machine in android. It slow but bearable.
The crooth thinggy if not mistaken is an emulator, so it is slower.

No. Chroot (CHange ROOT) is a way to run Linux on an Android kernel, which is as fast computationally as a native boot.

It is compatible. I have a cheapo HDMI to DVI adaptor that I use to connect the cable that came with the phone to my DVI only monitor and it works as it should.
Hello Android People...
I need some some help in getting started with my media player which OS sucks massively. The box is a PlayON HD 3D running some lame as pile of junk that I need to blow away and replace with the lastest and greatest version of Andriod.
Here are the specs for the box and some pics to show you the hardware that we have work with. I am looking for any assistance to help me get started in wiping of the rubbish and starting re-loading a real os. I am a linux user so feel free to post any cmd line linux stuff. I have also ROM'd a few Andriod phones in my time so not a complete novice. This is however, my first attempt at flashing a media player.
Any pointers in the right direction would be a great help.... and if anyone has done this before, then I would love to hear from them.
Thanks :highfive:

Running Android 4.x on Realtek 1186
My TV Box is Himedia H910A. This box is running Venus Linux + Android v2.1. Are you able to upgrade it to Android v4.4? Since typical box with RTD1186 only has 512MB RAM, so upgrading to Android v4.4 probably is a better solution. Your challenge is Realtek already stopped working on porting Android to RTD1186 after 2012.
HI
Just bought a cheap tablet a Asus Memo Pad not the HD one the one before.
Single core VIA cpu etc
So the first thing thats been bugging me is that i bought a RJ45 to USB adapter and it doesnt work on my tablet.
I turn off wifi then connect everything and nothing. Anyone knows why ?
The second is it worth it to root my tablet ? Even if its only to get rid of asus app´s ?
If i rooted would i be able to install Android 4.3/4.2 because i got the 4.1 version so the newer ones are better yes ?
Is there any kind of newbie guide to rooting this tablet ?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions and sorry if its on the wrong spot.

Hey guys,
Remix IO+ is now available on Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/project...paign=PR&utm_source=Press1029&utm_medium=news
Remix IO+ specs:
CPU: RK3399 64-bit big.LITTLE ARM® architecture: Dual Cortex™-A72 + Quad Cortex™-A53 2.0GHz+
GPU: Mali T864
Memory & storage: 4GB RAM / 32GB eMMC internal storage (microSD card slot expands memory up to 128GB)
Ports and connections: 2x USB Type-A 3.0, 2x USB Type-A 2.0, HDMI 2.0 (Outputs up to [email protected]), VGA, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Gigabit Ethernet port, 3.5mm audio jack, 9V/2A power supply
System: Remix OS based on Android Nougat
This upgrade puts Remix IO+ on the short list of best devices you can connect to your TV.
Please help us share with a friend who you think might be interested!
When will Android N Remix OS be released for PC?
Again I would like to ask if Remix OS pre-installed on the device will be bloated with ads and recommendations of "fantastic apps" or it will be a kind of premium version of the OS without all that rubbish?
Will we be able to connect a ps4 controller?
I have pledge remix io+ but please guys let us ask Jide to include a microphone in the controller so that we can do voice search over YouTube and use Google now voice search. I sent them an email asking this. Please guys send an email too. This is a function that needs to be implemented. Put a microphone in the controller like nvidia shield

That's what I'd like to see.
An OS with almost nothing, certainly no "Microsoft freebies" that have bloated the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.
Just a basic browser, maybe email, google store, so you can go and grab FFox and whatever email YOU want, whatever apps YOU want.
If theyw ant to have freebies for buyers, let them host the apps on their website and people can grab what they WANT.
I was thinking about this device, but it haven't got one very important thing for me. Optical sound output, spdif. I have other TV Box and with Kodi I am able to play 5.1 films and music with that. If this device will have in future optical sound output, I will buy it. Stereo is not enought these times for many people, especially for TV Box. Most people which like to play films on TV in home have now 5.1 or 7.1 digital sound system. Even my 7-years cheap old TV have this output. Keep going and think about this.
But thank You for Remix OS. On my laptop and PC it is very good thing to have. Thank You for Your work.
maybe next remix IO add dvb s2 ?

Hello all,
first of i want to thank you all for the great work, XDA was and is my biggest source of Android information.
Now for my request. But first some background info.
Recently my company has put up for sale some old hardware from which i have chose an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF (price 30 euro) with the following specs:
-Intel i5-3570 3,40GHz (4 cores)
-4GB DDR3
-no HDD but either i will use an USB 3.0 32gb drive or buy a small HDD or SSD
-there is no graphic card but it has an integrated Intel HD 2500 with HDMI port.
At home i have an old 46in Panasonic Smart TV wich is too old for current technology but is still Full HD 30 fps and its SLiM (considering its age).
Considering this i took this opportunity to get an desktop PC to ad it to the TV (already have a hidden space under the TV table so it does not show.
Now you might be asking why i haven't opted for a Chromecast or something similar. Reason is i trust more PC hardware and i am more familiar with it also i can add and remove hardware for upgrade as i please.
My request is if you can suggest me an Android OS to install onto it.
I plan to use it for mostly Netflix and YouTube and some controller specific games like Asphalt 9 or some older/emulated games.
The PC specs are good for the almost free price, i am also familiar with the PC since i worked on same model for some years so the performance is right.
The reason of why i want Android is that unfortunately i have no cable internet so i am limited to data, fortunately i have data plan with free YouTube/Netflix
Thank you for listening to my ramblings.
Kind regards,
Redbloodedrose.
