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.
First of all, while this is my first post, I have been a silent browser of xda for some time. This is such a wonderfull site.
My question is, is it possible to somehow get the settings for sideloading and usb/wifi teathering to show up in the settings menus? I assume that these have been removed or hidden somewhere in the source by commenting out or just been deleted. It seems to me that since these functions were built in to other android devices and I assume the I9000, that it sould be possable to reverse there removal. The settings.db has so many referances to other settings that are easily changed that it sould not require root access correct?
Now I must say that I am in no way a developer, and am not very good with linux. These are just some thoughts and conclutions that I have come up with while reading and pondering over countless articals on xda
Finaly , I want to say that I strongly disagree with Att's position on removing these items to increase there bottem line, and I would be with T-Mobile if they had good coverage in my house.
Usb tether is listed - called Pc internet. Sidwloading can be achieved by rooting and changing a settings.db file but no one has a fix for making it show up.

I am aware of the option to enable sideloading in the settings.db, all im saying is that there must be a way to but the option back in the settings menus. As for the USB teathering, isnt there an option on other devices to enable disable?
perhaps this thread would be better if it was moved to development?

a) the sideloading thing is ATT and that will never show up in one of their phones (unless they somehow miss it) if you really want it THAT badly, you can flash eugene's vibrant hybrid and it's there
b) USB tether is directly available through the settings menu on stock firmware (looks like ATT missed it, because they had it removed in JH2 and JH3)
c) if you mean the WIRELESS (mobile access point) tethering, that was removed by ATT and we've already found workarounds to have it back.
d) this certainly does not belong in development, thanks for keeping it out of that forum
e) look at SRE, it contains basically all the things you're asking for
Just recently pulled my old DS7 out of the corner and after seeing, nvflashed this really great Unofficial CM10.1 for Dell Streak 7 ROM on it. Works great, apart from the one tiny problem - it thinks it's a phone ... I already used Uninstall Master to remove some Phone features, such as: SIM Toolkit(it's called Mobile Data i think?), Messaging and Mobile Network Configurator. Was wondering how or where can I change or modify the settings related to how the Cyanogenmod acts as a Phone or a Tablet so that many apps from Play Store wouldn't default to the portrait mode.
On a sidenote - thanks to giveen and anyone involved in making this really awesome CM port to DS7 :good:

The reason why it is that way is because there are 4G models of the DS7

Understandable, but since I have a Wi-Fi only version I wanted to know if It's possible to change this in form of a setting or a few lines inside a configuration file without involving compiling. I even faintly remember stumbling upon something like this on a CM9 version I had on my old Xperia MT15i Neo ... if only I could remember or find where or how (currently strolling through the developer and CM10 related menus) - deleted my Xperia related bookmarks when I sold it.
p.s. - people mentioned some problems with the on-screen keyboard disappearing as described in one of the posts on the main CM10.1 thread, I've noticed them myself too and they tend to be application specific ... it feels like the keyboard crashes or force-closes due to not enough memory, like in lighter applications the keyboard works fine, but when trying to use the keyboard for writing for example a post in the comments section in a website will most likely result in keyboard disappearing after first input character.
So I am still trying to figure out why you started a new thread about this and what your question is.
To remove mobile data completely requires a new compile, something that cannot be done right now for a variety of reasons.
I guess I simply went too far off topic while trying to explain why I'm writing here... sorry.
So, to clear things up, the question still remains the same - what can I do to make it act more like a tablet and less like a phone on my Wi-Fi only DS7. So what I'm trying to find in the developer and CM menus is if I can more or less simply switch between some sort of "phone" and "tablet" mode so that some applications from Play store wouldn't default to portrait view mode.
And I noted that I've already uninstalled/disabled (call it how you want - I can restore them from the Unnstallers Recycle Bin if something weird starts to occur) some of the system .apks and as You already pointed out:

... so thanks for clarifying that and no need to do any special versions - it's just fine how it is now. I didn't come here to request anything to be compiled or modified for me but just to ask for info, heck, I wasn't even expecting You to be answering on this thread.

I make it my special concern to answer questions, even if it with sarcasm
I'm not sure what more you can do besides deleting the phone. Comment out in build.prop the rild stuff
I wonder if he is referring to TabUI? Which I as well am trying to relocate the flash able .zip which enabled this display difference. I have been running cm10.1 2/12 because of the sensors not working on the 2/14 build.
Sorry to piggyback the thread, but is there an answer for where the tab ui .zip is for the 2/12 build?

Hi,
Here is what I want to hook: https://github.com/android/platform...a/android/content/pm/PackageParser.java#L1212
I want minVers was always lower than SDK_VERSION.
So I had thought that the easiest way is change field SDK_VERSION. But then I saw it is constant - https://github.com/android/platform...va/android/content/pm/PackageParser.java#L150
Is possible to hook it? Or find other way (hook Build.VERSION.SDK_INT?)
Not AFAIK.
You could recreate the last part of that method if the minVers check is true (after recreating that check, too), I suppose.
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish but hooking something like SDK_VERSION, even if it were possible, sounds like a horrible idea.
Probably res. I have decided to ditch this idea (i wanted to enable install apks which are targeted for higher OS ver than user has)

After setting it up and trying it for a few days I looked around online and I don't see much specifically about this device and if it can be modified or accessed in unconventional ways. can we root it? I would love to be able to cast to it youtube etc. HDMI out anyone? Has anyone else tinkered with it yet? The '1G+8G' marking on the box seems to suggest it has a 1GB of flash presuming to be for the android things OS and another 8GB of flash for apps or media or caches?

The price was pretty low, $50CAD at best buy, I cant wait to see what people can do to hack it. Other smart displays seem to have USB/ADB/Fastboot connections, I havnt found one on this device yet.
I too would like to see some custom stuff on this cool little clock.
Yessss! It would be nice!

Hi,
Does anyone know how to open this smartclock thanks.
Regards

We haven't hacked any google assistant devices yet that I know off, in fact, I dont think we even hacked android things yet. I am sure there is somebody that is trying to hack android things. Btw, youtube can be watched on the clock, by going to something like the weather page > taping weather.com > going to the menu > download app, clicking on the download on the app store logo, going to the menu, support, go to apple support youtube channel, taping the YouTube icon. It's only in 480p, I tried it, I would rather watch on my phone or tablet, also the video will stop and the clock will go back to home if you wait to long without touching the screen or wake up the google assistant. Other than that. Playback is smooth.

I plugged in an android device to the clock, and it came up with some message, I dont remember what itsaid, it was either for adb debugging or transferring files over usb. I think it was transfering files over usb. The usb port does allow data transfer. Plugging in a USB mouse will make a mouse show up and can move for example.
It probably isn't much but you can go to ip.of.smart.clock:8008/setup/eureka_info in a web browser to view the basic info of the device
Home Assistant
It could be great to have some custom home assistant displayed on smart clock screen instead of clock
Apparently it's possible to plug in a keyboard and/or mouse to it via the USB port on the back (a cursor will appear).
Just got one of these myself today. Best Buy had em for 40 bucks. Quite the awesome little thing. I'm really surprised I can't find much for it.
I'll see if maybe I can buy a second one to purposely "break" (just in case), and see if I can get anything working on it. The little screen is good quality and has great sound. Would be cool for a mini emulation station of some kind
Update: Realized mine doesn't have the usb-c port under the rubber feet like other's have stated here its supposed to. Really don't wanna tear into the carpeting around it. I have the exact same model as first post
Plugging in a usb keyboard works for typing
update 2: navigated my way to youtube and tried downloading an apk from a direct link, downloads don't work period
update 3: can not get device recognized by a pc via plugging in USB port on the back to a USB-C port on my laptop, also tried USB-A to USB-A, no results
Update 4 lol: Unlocked the bootloader, had to have device manager search online for the driver, but it found it and installed it just fine. to unlock the bootloader, simply type
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock

Hello KaptinBoxxi,
How did you manage to unlock the bootloader, did you use ADB on computer via USB? or directly via a pluged in keyboard?
I'm a bit new to all of those types of hack but I'm very interested in getting into that since this device is small, cheap, good quality and could be a perfect smart display if there was any abilities to extend the frontend to better use cases.
Thanks

Fastboot via computer. Although, if this is the first device you're picking up, I'd recommend it not be. No one's really done much with cracking/hacking Android Things (the version of Android that runs on this) as it isn't a full version of android. Its heavily stripped down. Grab an old phone that has a ton of support for modding/hacking but isn't exactly the easiest and do that. I'd recommend a Sprint variant of the HTC One M7 if you want a real challenge. I had to find my own custom method to S-OFF the device, unlock the bootloader, then ROM it and root it as no tutorials worked that were currently up and I wasn't willing to pay to unlock it. If that sounds a little too high end for now, get something like an unlock Galaxy S4 or Verizon Galaxy S5 and hope its a Toshiba model so you can unlock the bootloader

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'll start on with something easier and will definitively follow along with this thread to see how the hacking of this device is evolving. have a good day

Were you able to use adb?
I found a deal on this device and am debating if I should buy it. The thing is, I wanna run Spotify on it without voice commands. ;D

You can use a Python Library called Pychromecast to remotely play media on it.

Thank you for the recommendation. I actually meant that I want to control the music from the screen, though. : )
Installing Spotify should probably be possible if adb is working. But, I would still need to figure out some way to launch Spotify without opening the app over adb every time.
I have posted development related resources over in this thread
