I have released a screen casting application in the Android Market using SL4A.
It allows the user to mirror their screen on their laptop or desktop over wifi.
I have attached the apk and the python script needed to run the application.
This is an open source project hosted on google code. Feedback and help improving the performance/additional features is WELCOME!!!!
Support for the X10, Atrix, and NexusS is ready out of the box because those are phones I was able to test it with.
The Linux desktop script needs to be downloaded from the project website on google code.

Ver5 is now out with the ability to stream files, only avi and mp3 appear to work for now
Very goood idea, any chance of a Windows version or is it already compatible
--XDA-App--4--Nexus-S-
Unfortunately I work on a linux Desktop. Since Windows also has ffmpeg it is already compatible all that is needed is to change the linux script GroundWork.py into a batch file.
I am hoping for help or contributors on that end. After I implement all the features I have in my head I will port it to Mac and then Windows.(Unless someone beats me to it )
I may attempt to do that, If i have your permission
--XDA-App--4--Nexus-S-
go ahead. If you can post your changes here I can add it to the project code. and give you credit.Just put your name etc in the code.
any intrest
bump. I need feedback

Can someone please explain how to set up CM on my PC so that I can run in an emulator and do some dev? Preferrably using Eclipse IDE.
Thanks!
Nexus One
CM 5.0.5.3
Yeah great post! I'm also looking forward to start dev'ing.
Did you already set up the Android SDK?
Yup. Android SDK is set up.
I just read [source.android.com/download] that you can't compile the Android source on Windows. That basically kills it for me at this time until I get my hands on a non-Windows machine.
Basically, I want to make changes to webkit for adding Arabic support. Can this be done without the above requirement?

I'd grab a VMware image for e.g. Ubuntu Server 9.10 (http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/) and use some of the free VMware versions (e.g. Player). Then follow the instructions on Cyanogenmod Wiki to get the source code and build your own system image. There should be plenty of information about how to build it, and support on IRC or the forums. Once you're past that, you can start tinkering with the Webkit code. Webkit is part of the framework (I believe), and probably has a lot of dependencies on it, so you probably cannot build it without the rest.
Maybe you want this thread to be moved to the Development forum.
Thanks for the tips robert I'll get right on that!
This thread was in the Development forum and was moved here by a moderator.
Ah btw, I thought about VMWare Player again. I don't think you can add another disk there, or at least, it's complicated (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/158454). So you might want to use VMWare Server, which is free, too. You will need a couple of gigabytes for the source code, intermediate build files, etc.

Can you explain why I'd need to add another disk?
Depends on how they set up the disk when they created the image. If they made it large enough, you don't need another disk.
I have build AOKP ICS for the P4-WiFi and have edited the ram-disk in order to include the core Linux files, and I am currently working on installing Lua, Perl, and Hamachi, and making a CWM flash-able zip.
I will not hold your hand! This is not this hard.
This is not perfect, it may need some tinkering with to make it work!
If this bricks your tablet, I am not responsible, but I will attempt to help you fix it.

Sorry about complicated installation instructions, I am working on simplifying them.
Hi man.
please tell us what is this exactly?is it an Ubuntu OS or sort of?
Question:in the "/downloads/" directory there's a build named "Latest-Build-EXPERIMENTAL.zip ".is it a flashable zip?
The only difference between Ubuntu or any other distribution are the repositories and the name. This was made of Ubuntu Lucid and the zip doesn't work yet.
interesting... keep it up!
Thanks, I want to get Hamachi working but the place they had the working build is gone.
Has anyone gotten it to work yet?
I've a GT-P7500 and will try it...Hate ADSL speed...
I don't n to be needly or pushy or anything, but can the OP, or anyone running the ROM, make a video showing the Native Linux app capability? I know it would have to be compiled for ARM and It's been hard finding ARM apps for Ubuntu, for example, but you can show me something cool then I'll love you all forever.
Does this have any package management included? How is this better than using chroot? In my experience for the things I want to do chroot is not bad other than the fact that I want an external keyboard (to program in emacs), but if this is faster somehow that could be nice. But I'd rather have the package repositories of Ubuntu over speed personally.
Waiting anxiously for a vid or a better explanation of it's use...Keep it man!!!
Perhaps if you compress it I can download...it's sooo big and my internet speed is 0.7mbps
It is better than chroot because it does not require a lot of the core Linux capabilities to run in two instances as in a chroot, so it is approximately twice as fast, and I am working on a package management app, but I cannot just use the Ubuntu repositories because I have to rebuild the applications for the specific hardware, but I am working on a package management app, but I am just learning Java.

I would right now, but I just got back from camp and my tablet is at my mother's house. I will have a video up in a couple of days.
This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Let me understand, you want to port QPair to linux that will run on the G pad?
Disclaimer: I'm also in the challange but the idea of running linux on the tablet is really interesting.

I guess @zacthespack wants to use linuxonandroid on tab and sync stuff with a third party such as keyboard, etc using QPair.
Another Disclaimer here Good luck to everyone!

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux
posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.
it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Stock LG kernel does have loop support so you should have no issue here, if you are having another issue getting linux to start let me know, shall be updated the OP in the next few days

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.
Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!
Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate
Hello,
Can someone help me with building an app for a PHP software to a website ? I guess using WebView helps. What about files required and their hierarchy ? Is there any open source platform which I can use as base to build apps ?
PS : I use Android Studio
You can use REST
When we're working with an App that needs to comunicate with an external software, i always think on use REST. You can see this stack: stackoverflow.com /questions/8267928/android-rest-client-sample for some information.
Another thing... What do you mean with "What about files required and their hierarchy" ? Are you saying about PHP files require ?
Hi, guys.
Android Studio newbie here. I'm a loooong time Linux user/ sys admin, but have just downloaded Android Studio. My motivation for doing so, was to give an existing (neglected) open source app a once over, ideally with a Linter, some code quality checking and maybe refactoring. Essentially, bringing it up to current Android standards. I've installed AS on my Linux Mint box, and have added the GitHub repository. I can see the code, and lint options in the menus, but don't know where to start. Does anyone know of a flowchart, or process I could follow?
Many thanks,
Chris
