Hi,
I want to play with Moonlight ( play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limelight ), but capturing mouse on Android < 8.x ( github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide ) is impossible without root:
Android 7.1 (Nougat) or earlier, using an external mouse with proper mouse capture on Android requires a rooted device. If you want to use an external mouse on your rooted device, you should download "Moonlight for Rooted Devices" on the Play Store or app-root-release.apk from releases. NVIDIA SHIELD devices and Android 8.0 (Oreo) have mouse capturing built-in that Moonlight uses without needing root. Moonlight for Rooted Devices is not available for Android 8.0, since the non-root version contains all features that required root using the new Android Oreo APIs.
To toggle capturing the mouse cursor on Moonlight for Rooted Devices, press Ctrl+Alt+Z.

We've got Android 7.1.1 on our Pixelbooks right now, so there is any way to upgrade it into 8.x?
If not - what's the easiest way to root it? Do we need root (turn on dev mode) on chromeos first?
Google said they will skip Oreo and go straight to P, so the only thing we can do is wait unfortunately.
Thanks for response. That's not ideal situation, but at lease I know what's to expect. I've got already Android P on My Google Pixel 2 via Beta channel. Do you know if it's available on Chromebooks beta channel?
Unfortunately it's not available on any channel right now and I'm afraid it won't until Google releases final AOSP code.
There were some code commits on Chromium code repository that mentioned Android P, but so far there is nothing in the public releases that we could test.
Thanks again.
So looks like only way to make it works it will be root android on my chromebook.
Do you have any experience with that? I guess first step will be switch ChromeOS to Dev mode and then we can start play with @Nolirum script provided on this topic:

No, I didn't have the need to use root on my Chromebook so far

I am looking to do some development for Android TV and need a physical TV to test on.
I have access to a Philips Android TV (2015 model) and there is no way to sideload an APK (this has been confirmed fully by Philips themselves)
So I need to get a new physical device for testing purposes.
Does anyone know of an Android TV make & model that allows for sideloading APKs?

What model do you have? 49PUS7150 can be easily rooted. Follow this this guide...
It's a 5500 model, so no ADB at all

Your TV is based on chassis QM15.2E LA. Other users have claimed that after the released update of official firmware from March 18th in firmware version QM152E_000.005.210.000 ADB and unknown sources are enabled...
You can intall APKs on the amazon fire tv. but I'm not sure it this is what you are looking for. As it is a modified version or android the google play services and so on are not visible
Hey all,
I just got a MXQ Pro+ 4K (Android 7.1.2) hx_s905x TV box with 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM. Tested SU root with a root testing app, says the device is rooted ok. I checked for software updates and it says that Android is up to date:
Android Version: 7.1.2
Security patch level: May 5 2017.
Kernel version: 3.14.29 (March 2018)
Build: hx_s905x-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47L 20180316 test keys Rev B5
I can not get my Logitech Rumblepad 2 wireless gamepad to work with it. Trying to avoid flashing a new ROM or anything that could brick it so I'm only looking for drivers for it and instructions on how to install them.
Good news:
1. I see the device listed as plugged in through the "USB Device Info" app, it recognizes it as Logitech Rumblepad 2 and recognizes another generic gamepad as well.
2. Gamepad is not broken - my old Android Box with Android v.4.4.4 detects it just fine, I can play games and navigate through Android UI on it using the gamepad.
Bad news:
1. Neither the Logitech Rumblepad nor the generic gamepad work in games or in Android UI on the MXQ Pro+
2. Tried a bunch of gamepad testing apps from Play Store but no values come up, it is not detected at all.
What I need help with:
Drivers, modules... anything that will allow gamepad support on Android 7.1.2 and instructions how to install them. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It is really weird that an older Android comes with support out of the box yet the latest one doesn't.
I know this is old, but after doing searching, it seems like no one replies to these threads with gamepad issues. Is this just something that's troublesome for devs to implement? Are the driver modules just not available? I am in the exact same boat as you, I'm hoping in the future I can turn my little android boxes into steam link + htpc devices.
Hi, i have a MI A1 (tissot) with lineage os 17.1, i want to download an app for Android GO but i can't because play store says it's not supported for my phone. Any magisk modules or something like that to trick the play store?? hope this is the right place to ask
Google queries a device for Android property ro.config.low_ram. If found and set to true it's an Android GO based device.
You may flash Low-RAM Property Patcher what converts an Android device into an Android GO optimized version.
More info here:
How to turn your Android device into Android Go Optimised Version | Guide
Turn your android device into android go optimised version with the Low-RAM Property Patcher from xda. Will work on Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow and KitKat.

Is it possible to get old Android Apps for Android 2.3 ( gingerbread )? I need the old VLC to play some .m3u InternetRadio Files and one of a Kodi Remote App, like Kore, Yatse. I was searching the Internet but I didnt found anything to get the old Apps.
If you go to a trusted source such as apkmirror, you can look for previous versions of apks. I believe that some of the apps you are mentioning weren't created at the time or made to support gingerbread.
You could try installing a lollipop or marshmallow custom rom to get access to most latest apps. Marshmallow is currently the minimum api, though lollipop still had great support up until recently
Android Gingerbread is from 2010, by doing some google searching I found out that:
-VLC's android app was first launched in 2014, so you won't be able to get that for gingerbread.
-Yatse was released in 2011, so a primitive build might be available, but it wouldn't be too useful.
-The XMBC Official remote app was launched before yatse, so a primitive build of that may also be available.
The point is, Android 2.3 is heavily outdated and long gone. If you mention your phone's model here then I can walk you through the process of installing a custom rom, and also find a suitable rom for you if you need any help in that category.
But I have used VLC and XMBC remote apps on my Mobile, with Android Gingerbread, 2 years ago. But I cant find the apps anymore.
Do you have an link for Anddroid Marshmallow or Lollipop? My mobile is a Samsung GT-S5300.
Android 4 is available with some googling, but has some bugs.
My bad regarding the vlc apk. It was released in 2014, but is compatible with android 2.1+, let me give you a link to the latest stable version for android 2.3:
VLC for Android 3.0.13 (arm-v7a) (Android 2.3+) APK Download by Videolabs - APKMirror
VLC for Android 3.0.13 (arm-v7a) (Android 2.3+) APK Download by Videolabs - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

Yatse and Kore are both android 4.0+
You could try this xmbc remote app apk:

k then only way is instaling linux? But how and which?
In general, the situation looks like this: my task is to make it magically speed up a bit and make it possible to browse websites, movies, etc. Perhaps my employment after the internship depends on it, so I want to prove myself
what? where you got the idea from we can install linux on android devices?
i see on yt video that i wanna try...
Or install unofficial iso but i don't know which and how
good luck with youtube fun... 'linux' requires underlying android kernel, it's not a true linux distro one can just install on random devices.
smartphones are embedded devices that require compiled firmware especially for the hardware.
k k now i know but is a unofficial android ideal for my tablet?
the same answer applies. android is no 'distro' one can't just install android on random devices.
you need kernel source code, device tree and binary blobs for compiling AOSP. assuming you fulfill that requirements (which you don't) please refer to the LineageOS Wiki, pick any random example and read How to Build for your device just to get a feeling how it works.
Okay, I understand. So I'm asking for guidance on what I need to do to have the latest browsers (preferably firefox or chrome). Because not all pages enter, for example: tvp vod (vod from Polish tv - the page enters, but the video does not enter). The same goes in yt, but mega muddy and is max 360. Any alternative programs for yt I can install there? If so, what kind?
the problem is with outdated root CA certificates. you need to update manually in /system/etc/security/cacerts (maybe @nmyshkin can help you out) or find browser that comes with its own certificates (such as firefox) but compatible for your device, like UC Mini Browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.UCMobile.intl
for youtube try YouTube Vanced (maybe your android is too old)
https://youtubevanced.com/old-versions
I try UC Mini Browser but still a little site don't good work (i mean i have info about broken script on site). If @nmyshikn don't help how i can put good root CA certificates?

We really need update this manual? Is it possible to use *.cer or *.crt format? like here -
I install all certificates from side: https://www.digicert.com/kb/digicert-root-certificates.htm But still without successful.
