We have a hundred tablets running Android 4.0.4
We would like to give them to all students in our school who cannot afford a new computer. It would be used to use the gsuite apps but the Android version is too obsolete to install these apps.
I ask the developers of this forum to help us. Can you make a rom to use these Exagerate XZPAD700 Tablets?

Wondering why the need for an Android 4.0.4 custom ROM?
G Suite is Software as a service (SaaS) , means users have to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet.
Think you don't have to install anything other than a bowser on tablet to make use of G Suite, if not already done yet.

Unfortunately, the gsuite apps we use are mainly classroom and Meet. But above all meet is the app we use most. To use Google meet we need to download from the play store, but it is available only for Android 5.0+ If instead we want to use Google meet in the browser in desktop mode, it tells us that the browser is not compatible. I have tried with other browsers for example dolphin, opera mini, uc browser etc. but it is the same problem. Ultimately we cannot use Google meet with these tablets and we have many. It's a shame not to be able to use them for students who don't have a computer.
To try out whether the tablets's Android is upgradeable or not, run the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) what is a free, commercial-grade test suite, available for download here. The CTS runs on a desktop machine and executes test cases directly on attached devices .

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone else has tried it? I downloaded installed it today & it looks really impressive with lots of future potential it lets you load & run apk files and simulates the android UI on your desktop! It compared itself to the developers SDK tool but faster and user friendly. I can't post links but I'd be thankful if anyone else that finds it interesting to post a link
I can't see it mentioned in any threads yet? If this is the wrong place to post... please feel free to move it

Android Apps emulator for the PC (without SDK)
20. September 2010 - 15:18 | Mobile | terry
Meanwhile, there are a lot of apps for mobile devices, whether for iPhone or Android. In the case of Android devices and apps, there is the lovely advantage of it as apk simply sent anywhere, can be loaded and saved - and everyone could then install on their device.
But what if you have no products.These types, but would like to demonstrate Apps on a machine, and without the SDK? introduces you, you have built a cool app want to show that, but your Android can not connect to the projector, or you send out sales people who want to show the app, but no SDK on your machine?
Well, there is a great tool called YouWave. Easy to install on their computers and go apk Embed
It does come accross quite intriguingly... It would be interesting to know if anyone has tried it properly and what they make of it, I'm more interested in mods to my phone so development tools don't spark much excitement for me.... the potential here looks inspiring though
Thanks tina333 for your interest in YouWave. We are a startup, with a mission to serve Android community. In addition to what you have described, our latest software release supports state saving, wirelessly installing applications to rooted phone, etc. Many users, including app users, gamers and developers, are already using our product daily. Hopefully you have tried these features.
We are located in Silicon Valley, California. If you have other questions, drop us a line or post questions here or on our forum. We would be glad to answer them.

Is it possible to load our data files from our phone to continue with saved progress in games, etc.?
Currently, it is not possible to sync data file from your phone to the apps running on YouWave. Such features are definitely under our consideration.
BTW, AndroidCentral today runs an article about us.

Very nicw

I tried youwave but it is not as good as bluestacks
I tried youwave android emulators it also has lot of features to use and play android apps and games. But bluestacks [/U][/URL] is best when it comes to android emulators..
I have just bought one for my dad, who needs my help quite frequently for basic functions. Is there an app out there, that I can use to see and control his screen. The only simple one I have come across is webkey, but that will only work for rooted tabs. Being remote, it is going to be a real challenge to root this, so just curious if anyone can point me to a good app for remotely managing the app. Thanks a lot.

This one also says 'It needs a rooted device'
remote access to unrooted Android devices
Unless the stock rom has remote access backed in then you will not be able to do this without a rooted device. We use Bomgar where we work and before Android and iOS we used to remote to windows phones all the time. Now the system file on these are more locked down on stock. If you search bomgar and ios you will see that Bomgar has a patition out there for users to sign. Right now only providers can use there software to rmote to devices. Maybe this will chamge in the future but it depends onthe rom and who is selling the device.
Being a techincal security guru, I like the more locked down phones, but it does come at a cost. As these roms and devices mature more, I'm sure a dev will figure out a way to do this without compromising the security of the device.
tave a look at this:

I think you might want to remove that link sharpish.

According to a comment on MakeUseOf.com:
In general iPhone Apps will not work on anything but iOS.
If you developed the App yourself [and have the Source Code] it depends on the tools you have used.
If you used Xcode all the way the App would be in Objective-C [which is hardly supported outside the Apple world] with Cocoa APIs [which are Apple only].
This means you would have to re-write the entire App.
If you used some other base (Java, C++) and some porting platform there might be a chance that there are tools to port it to other mobile platforms as well.
i think the answer the OP is looking for is a yes or no
as far as im aware its not available on android yet. Cant recommend an alternative as i dont really know what instagram does.
Ok, I am looking at an online Android/iPhone app builder. They either offer the option to build one for free with unlimited downloads or you can pay yearly with different tiers for different download limits. The difference being that the free one has ads.
Anyways, when asked about just creating the app with their site, then hosting it on your own server and having everyone download it from there instead of paying the yearly fees, the site owner made this statement.
" my personal opinion in the long run you will pay more in this case because every time when apple releaes new iOS (like 6 now) or android has new phone (like samsung galaxy S 3 now) you will have to purchase new binary code from us that supports the latest updates/fixes."
Is this true? I don't see how each new device that comes out will require an update in your app.
Also, as stated, if you pay the yearly fee for the lowest amount of downloads, I assume they can only track downloads from Google Play or the Apple app store. I don't see any way they can track downloads from my own server hosting the .apk file. Anyone have any insight on this to correct me if I'm wrong?
For the record, I'm just looking to develop an app to play my Shoutcast Streaming audio station. I make no profit on the station, so have no capital to spend over $1K a year to have an Android and iPhone app. I mainly want to give it to my friends, and make it available to anyone who visits my Website. I really like the design that I did with this site, and am willing to pay something for it, just not worth $1K./year....
Anybody?
Have you tried installing the official Android Software Development Kit on your computer, and making the app yourself? You don't need to use an online service, and you choose exactly what gets compiled into the apk (ads, Google analytics, etc.).

Thank you for the reply.
I actually do have the SDK installed, and am looking into what it takes to make my own app. But, don't I have to know xml and Java to create apps using the SDK?
You do need to know those two languages.

Yes, it's kind of like Appinventor, all visual, just assemble the parts and stuff.
It's nice, just kinda pricey. I once posted the job on freelancer.com and got offers for about as much as this company is asking, and with freelancer I would have owned the app afterwards.
But, again, it's kinda hard to foot the bill when it's a non profit app.
Ok, I'm off to learn XML and Java.......
Oh, almost forgot.... the original questions...

any ideas anyone?
I think he means every time Google releases an update to Android (updated OS, not new device). So, for example, you build your app to run on Jelly Bean. But when Key Lime Pie comes out, your app may not work as expected on those devices running KLP. Then, you'd have to pay them to recompile your app with updated binaries, or risk losing market share.
If your app is really simple and would run fine on Android 2.2 and up, then that "purchase new binary" thing is not applicable.
But, hell, if you're willing to learn XML & Java... go for it!
Hey!
We know, that we can't run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch. The UT is a great operating system, but it has a big problem. It doesn't have any "neccessary" or "must have" applications NOW. These apps are the following by the community's opinion: FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Google Maps, a browser (like Chrome, Opera mini or Firefox), instagram, etc.
So, I want to know, that we are possible to port these (or any other) Android apps to UT, or not? If the answer is yes, i want to create a team. In this team i want to port Android apps, or create this apps alternatives.
Guess not much up in the forums
Request: Simyo Call Status App [Netherlands]
Hi there,
I haven't been on the xda forums a lot since the end of 2009 I believe but, since Canonical announced Ubuntu Touch this year, I have my reasons to pick up browsing the forums again. The Ubuntu Touch region, specifically.
Now, you were asking if there's any Android Apps to port to Ubuntu Touch.
I have a request that might not be of interest to a lot of people but will get pretty important to me once a 'user version' of Ubuntu Touch is released:
Simyo Netherlands provides an App to check your current "Belstatus" or call status.
This app provides me (on my iPhone) with the current remaining minutes/sms messages and remaining data (megabyte) for the current month within the contract.
Below the link to the Android equivalent in the Play Store, which might be portable to an Ubuntu Touch app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.simyo.mijnsimyo
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
I might be of some help being a C# programmer, but I still need to check out the Ubuntu Touch SDK (my HTML5 and QML knowledge is poor) and that's something I won't be able to very soon....

I have a little bit of C# knowledge, but i'm good in HTML5, so this is a good beginning i think.

You can port any already existing apps that are found on Android, you just need the API from the app developers.

No, there's no tool like that for Ubuntu Touch (yet?).
I'd be willing to port my Android apps to Ubuntu touch. Does the work need to be done from scratch? Is there a simpler way to port a java, native, android app to Ubuntu?
I can't contribute anything app-wise, but this sounds like a really good idea; best of luck!
Ubuntu-Touch must LIVE! I have use it and it is cool system. Some problems with applications time to time appeares. And it is very hard find developers for apps. But I think if required apps appeares -- more people move to UT. And first of all that system must use NOT for games.

Till last some years UT has some changes. For example appears OpenVPN network manager in a base apps. But unfortunately that feature with unresolved bugs. Also I didn't find any browsers like QupZilla/Mozilla FireFox or Lynx. So As for me we required updated OS for first. And normal browser. Current versions of browsers are unusable. That i big part of work. For that required powerful developers group. I try to compile and run some examples to UT but unfortunately unsuccessful. But I try. Who also try do something but with successful result?
