Can Mirrorlink be installed on a rooted android infotainment system? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For example the MY16ADA in most Honda products running Android 4.2.2? As a lot of users hack the box (Honda Hack) it would be a neat project but beyond my abilities. As Mirrorlink (host) is open source I was just curious. It allows phone mirroring and some cool functions that are locked out of Android Auto. Just wondering if any of the Devs had thought about this project. If this is the wrong venue/forum/group for this please accept my apologies.

[Q] Android hardware development

Hi.
I'm starting with android development. I've developed a pair of apps for android devices.
Now I've got a new project where I have to develop a car media infotainment like enviroment based on android. To do this, I need to buy a development board which lets me program using the latest android versions and that mantains up to date. This hardware should contain LCD screen, bluetooth, USB ports, HDMI, etc...
What I really need is to find something that I could use to develop, and also as a final implementation for the real use.
Have suggested the BeagleBone Black. I find good for testing and programing, should do the work as a development board, but not as a final aplication to set it on a car.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Devices that can do video and USB host at the same time

Hi! I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to develop a software solution that requires the Android phone to be able to output video and be a USB host at the same time. But, after looking into a couple Android devices (Nexus 5 & Samsung S4), I found that I cannot do video and USB hosting on a Android phone at the same time. I wonder if this is a common design in Android phone world? Is this based on Google's reference design for Android? Thank you!

[Q] Devices and apps for Android TV ?

Hi,
I'd like to buy an Android set-top box for watching IPTV, using XBMC and use several others applications (browser/facebook/Twitter/Netflix...), but I have troubles figuring out what devices will be enough for me and what apps I will be able to use with a "classic" Android remote (not a keyboard or trackpad remote controller).
Is there a way to list in the Play Store the apps that are compatible with a remote ?
I'm also confused about the new Android TV platform and the Android TV Launcher. It seems the first will only be available on some partners new devices like Sony and requires Lollipop and the latter is available for every device running at least KitKat. Is this right ?
Is it better for me to buy now a 4.4 set-top box (the Bee-link UBox R89 seems nice), or wait for a 5.0 Android TV-certified device ?
(Sorry, no links allowed in my post, I'm a new user)
Thx

[Project] $100 to anyone who can do this. Port Android 5

Hi Guys, first of all sorry if this is in the wrong forum.. Mods please don't hesitate to move it.
I have a project for anyone who is up to the challenge.
I have an Android headunit which currently is running Android 2.3 and hardware wise it is not the best.
Here is a link to the actual where you can find hardware information headunit http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-Pu...-Nissan-teana-2012-wifi-3G-DVD/975120044.html
I have the current 2.3 rom for my headunit but I have no idea how to port another rom to it.
Things to be done>
Android 5.0 as light as possible
Digital Car as the default and only launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/digital-car-android-tablet-t2834750
I don't want all the Google goodies to work. Just maps, play store, which of course requires Google services.
I want the current functionalities of device to work the same.
Bluetooth calling
Wifi dongle support
From my understanding it would be best to port a rom from a tablet.
I also understand that this is not easy since the hardware is not the best out there but I wanted to just give it a try.
Will appreciate if anyone can take the task.

Android device suggestions needed for a custom app

Hi all,
I'm hoping I can get some suggestions for an Android device to target for a custom app running in Kiosk mode. Just a quick background: app is for internal use so will not be released externally. I currently use Java (JavaFX) on Raspberry Pi - it is v stable. Android device will hook up to the monitor + speakers and ideally will have ethernet port. Device reliability is of course important.
What the app will do when it receives a message from GUI:
Play videos
Display time
Text/Images
I'm hoping to add customer interaction as well at some point so perhaps use a touchscreen monitor.
If you can recommend any Android device then that would be fantastic!
