Can we develop a tv out ike application? I'd really like to be able to mount my g1 to my notebook and be able to control my g1 in a live screen like experience which would include Reading and replying to text messages, accessing applications such as Movies by Flixster and DOOM/Gba/SNES emu's
Basically is there a way to display and control my g1 from my p.c. via usb? I know it would result in downloading something to my notebook and I think there are utilities around here on XDA but I don't know how to get them working.
I think I saw something in the dev section in the last week, I tried to poke around and find it, but couldn't so you will have to page through it.
DroidExplorer.
Must have app for anyone who uses the ADB interface.
ScreenCast, magnificent application.
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
I have an Asus 1000HA and I don't really know how to set up ADB or work with all that stuff but I'd love to learn, especially if it can help me accomplish what my OP wants.
I've ran into screencasts before and I can't manage to get it work so any help is appreciated :]
I gave Droidexplorer a try and it all worked out for me with that one, and I have screencast working through Droid as a plug in and it's all very neat Hopefully I figure out how to use the desktop sms plug in sometime soon.
Tried to download the new Skype app Verizon released today from skype dot com/vzw and I get the "There are no matches in Android Market for the search com.skype.android.verizon
Am wondering if it's because I updated my phone to the leaked 2.1 and it's looking for 1.5 or ???
Anyone else tried this, especially anyone that's still on 1.5?
Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm getting that same result when searching for almost any app I'm trying to download. Even when using the QR code to an app I know is active in the market, my phone doesn't find any results.
It's wearing me out. Hope someone has an explanation. I have a feeling it is due to the leaked 2.1.

The android Market filters what apps show up due to your system version. So if you are running 2.1, like I am, and you try to find an application that only runs on an OS up to say... 1.5, then it won't show up.. :/
I tried this method....and it didnt work for me,but I am on a custom ROM, if you have the 2.1 OTA with root, you might be able to do this..
I didn't modify any files, I just did a bit of researching and found this
download this file:
www(dot)sendspace(dot)com/file/rnwab1
it is supposedly the 2.1 release version.
MD5sum= 5dc96431fae1be1aa51d7c50889273a5
then put this on the root of your SDcard
next, download installer from the android market and then run it... then select the zip file from the list and install..
---when I tried opening skype, it said "skype can only be used on verizon wireless phones"
I would like to know if this works for anyone...
this is a network issue not a version issue. most apps are designed to run on 1.5 so your past version check argument is a bust. but Verizon has not registered our device as being 2.1 compliant and until they do we will not have full functionality of the market. that's the way of the root game. us rooters being on the bleeding edge of android get locked out of a few things till our carrier catches up.

I sort of figured as much, and was after some happy logical confirmation type thinking which you've provided.
I don't really mind, just wanted to make sure that was why, and not something I was doing incorrectly.
Thanks.
I recently published my ReelPortal video chat/conference software for Android 2.2 (using Adobe AIR 2.5) at the AppsLib market:
http://appslib.com/applications/app.html?ida=31520
I don't have a G Tablet, but would like to compile a list of devices that the app works on. So I'm looking for testers out there.
Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.
For more info on testing, please visit www.ReelPortal.com.
I just added another version reelportalX.apk (version 1.0.1). This version is working fine now. I suggest using it instead of the older one.
You must get Adobe AIR 2.5.1 from Android Market, or you can download the Adobe AIR SDK (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk/), and get it in subdirectory runtimes\air\android\emulator, or runtimes\air\android\device. I found that Adobe doesn't allow posting the AIR apk on a website. Note: don't use the AIR link in post #6.
If you want to test chat with other folks around the world, please join the "xda" room (all lower case). Capacity is limited .
firewater2003:
Install Adobe Air 2.5.1 from here: http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=2291
Beware of TNT dashboard:
MoonPops: I kept getting the black screen while starting up ReelPortal in the TNT dashboard home, but it works fine in the Android Home Classic screen interface.
Firmwares that were confirmed to work:
Stock TNT 3588 (do NOT use TNT dashboard)
TnT 4.1.0
TNT lite 5.01
VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
can not find adobe air in market... running tnt 3.1.2
when I launch reelportal app, it get a blank screen
I did find adobe air 2.5 and installed it from another source.
I installed Adobe Air and your. apk and everything installed fine. Web cam and interface came up and seems to work fine. Only problem is, I don't have anyone to chat with, so I don't know how well that works......lol.
worked between my Droid 1 and my Gtablet.

Same experience here. Stock 3389 with performance pack. Grabbed Air from another XDA post (2.5.15320). It just comes up to a blank screen.
Can those who got it to work link the apk they located?

Hi,
I found this:
http://reelportal.blogspot.com/
Is this your website?
If I'm understanding how this works (when it works), these chats go through your chat server, and the way that we would do one-to-one video chats would basically to "join" a chat on your chat server?
Thanks,
Jim
Installed air and reelportal. Just a black screen for me too, running TnT lite 3.1.3
reelportal.com
Jim:
Yes, that's my "readme" page for my ReelPortal dot com site. Sorry I'm not allowed to post any links .
You are correct on the server. It routes the data from the clients to each other. However, the clients can also do peer-2-peer with each other (this is the default mode). When first started, the clients all connect to my server to sign on. The server checks for name conflict and room availability, and authorizes the session. If you are in a room, the server connects you to all the clients in the room automatically. Of course, you can call individual person if you know their name(nick). You can also disconnect from any client you want.
In p2p mode, all video/audio traffic goes directly from client to client(s). The server doesn't have to process it. If you select client/server mode, then the server receives your stream and distribute it to all subscribing clients. This lessen your uplink bandwidth if you have multiple subscribers.
The next version will allow you to specify your own server. And yes, you can run your own server on linux, windows, or macOS. And perhaps other platforms too, if you are inclined to do so. An older server version is currently available from my download page, but I will release the newer version in conjunction with the next client.

To test, you can actually call yourself . Once connected, press button 7 (P2P), and select "Send to Server" mode. Then, press one of the "blue head" on the right, then press the ">" button on the dialog. A list will appear, and your nickname is the always the first one on the list. Click it, and you should see your own stream feeding back to you. Basically:
Your video ----> Server -----> Your device
Or if you have a computer, just run the web client on your computer, join the same room on both devices, or call the other's nick to establish connection. Hope that helps.

If it's a blank white screen, then perhaps it's not finding the server. Is your internet connection available or slow? Ideally, I should have some status indicator to be a bit more user friendly.
I also tried the adobe air file posted here, but reelportal apk only opens to a blank screen still. What are we doing wrong?

I ran a brief loopback test under low 4g in Philadelphia. Performance looked good but I was unable to select front camera on EVO. I will play with this some more but front camera access is a must.

Thanks. Apparently, the front camera can't be access at this time . I googled this:
"AIR does not currently support the front camera.
In fact, the Android OS does not natively support the front camera. The device manufacturer provides a separate Java library that makes the camera available to Java apps."
I wonder if Android 2.3 supports multiple cams.
Also, is the front camera access problem the same for all tablet devices? Or is it device dependent?
To answer my own question: android 2.3 supports multiple cameras.

So, I figured that I would post a confirmation that states that while using my NC and PrinterShare from the market I can print documents over my WiFi connection at home!
I was not sure if this would work, and it took the NC a bit to see the WiFi printer, but it works. I am going to purchase the full version now that I know that it works.
This NC gets cooler and cooler, day after day!
I am wondering if something can develop a way to auto-print documents that have been waiting in a queue. For example if I am at work, select 4 documents that need printing, and then the NC would send them to the printer once I connect to my home WiFi?
There is a hack that can send documents from any device to any online printer.
It's not too complicated - as long as both are linked to the same Dropbox account. You would just need to install a script in your Dropbox, then any documents you want to print would be uploaded to that folder.
I don't have the link (sorry) but I'll look for it... I'll post it when I find it .-)
Ok - found it... I think it might be windows only.
(These are just links that I've found... All credit goes to the original author)
First, you need a dropbox account. You would need to have it linked to your Nook and your computer with a printer.
If you don't already have one, feel free to use my link: http://db.tt/1lAXHf7
(There's all sorts of other things you can do with Dropbox, but this is one of the better ones for the Nook... as far as I can tell)
Here's the link to show you how to install the script:
http://www.labnol.org/internet/print-from-mobile-phones/17827/
I attached the zip file with the script, hope it helps!
This works (dropbox option). Just printed a document. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, the application works for me, I opted for the wrz version.
The dropbox version works for mac and linux too, you just need the script. I can not find the link now but I Googled dropbox printing and found a page that links to the mac and linux scripts. I tried the linux one.
thanks for the dropbox method it worked.
u can find the mac script here http://www.labnol.org/tech/print-files-on-remote-mac/17838/. and the linux script here http://www.labnol.org/software/print-files-on-linux/17841/

I was wondering if you or anyone could help me troubleshoot my setup. I have a brother mfc-j270w that is listed as a supported device on the printershare home page. I also have a rooted nc with no overclock and only modified location service files. It will see the printer and even show that the printing has been spooled and completed. The printer shows receiving the job, feeds the paper, but prints nothing.
I would assume that the printer firmware isn't compatible with the printershare drivers, but I've ran the same test from my Droid 2 and it works like a charm.
Any ideas?

Ok, so I think I've figured it out. It had to have been an IP address conflict. I set the printer to a static IP address and it seems to be working fine now. Also, the setup I'm striving for involves networking through wireless tether on my Droid 2. I have to make sure that I connect the nc immediately after starting the wireless tether app so that su is still active. For some reason, the su permissions seem to time out after a bit, but it never causes any interruption in wifi service. I can also get it to refresh the su permission and allow the nc to connect just by turning the screen back on. Is this normal?

The fact that the su privilege seems to come back when the screen is turned back on makes me think it may have something to do with the Superuser app being cached/inactive by Android (after some inactivity)?
You could check the Superuser Log and see if it shows another "allowed" entry after waking the screen?
Just throwing out ideas.
Hi XDA!
I am a recent convert to Android from many years of iPhone usage. I made the plunge by investing in what like among the best if not the best Android phone available, the Note 8. So far I am a very happy camper!
That is until today. This is my fault and not the phones fault however. I forgot the password to the phone which I had written down IN THE PHONE ITSELF (facepalm). I actually bought a notebook to write the password down in last night for this very reason. Lovely coincident happened: My phone discharged during the night so now I need the password to get in. To my question of the day then:
How would i go about opening an .SNM file on a PC?
I have such a file stored in a backup of the phone: C:\Users\**\Documents\samsung\SmartSwitch\backup\SM-N950F\SM-N950F_\SM-N950F_20171104133032\SamsungNotes\SamsungNote.snm.
I am assuming this file contains the notes. Stupidly the passwords were jotted down with the (wonderful) S-Pen so I cannot simply go through it with a hex editor/text editor and look for my files. I need a proper extraction tool/process of some kind to get the images/notes out.
All i have found on the internet refers to opening the (older?) .SNB files which apparently are simply .zip-archives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated indeed!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Andreas
Hi again!
Just wanted to share an update incase anyone else is googling after getting themselves into a similar situation or for any other reason need to open their samsung notes files.
What I ended up doing was restoring my backup using Smart Switch to another device I have access to. An S7 to be more precise. One problem that bogged me down however was that the Samsung Notes app on the S7 did not properly load or even recognize the notes it received from the backup, the notes originally made on the note 8. It turns out this was because the note 8 for some reason receives a newer version of samsung notes (2.XX instead of 1.4).
After fiddling around with the backup settings in the .xml files i managed to get it working by sideloading the newer version of Samsung Notes downloaded as an APK and installing that. Then the S7 would load the notes and I could access the info I needed
Silly me for getting into the issue but I am happy I managed to fix it!
