Database Develop

[BRAINSTORM] What if you had a high powered Mini, AOSP and a dev kit...

For all the developers on this board, what if you had...
a higher powered Mini
AOSP, let's say Marshmallow or better
all the dev tools you'd need to get to work
...what would you, could you dream to develop this computer to do?
TV box? Gaming console? Android PC? Smart home device?
Please share with us your brainstorm ideas on this. Have fun with it and don't think about what's already out on the market... think out of the box, reach for the stars, and all the other cliches you can think of. Please share in the comments below.
Thanks!

For me, I'd love to see a higher powered version of the Mini. It's the right form factor for kiosk deployment. I'm exploring development of a kiosk/presentation system that's Android based, and will probably center its development around a device like the Mini.
Of course, I could see something like the Mini with a more stable version of Remix giving Chromebooks a run for the money in a classroom setting. Use it in the class, unplug it, take it home, plug it into your TV and do your homework. With much, much less overhead and replacement costs than are associated with broken Chromebooks in schools. (No glass to break or hinges to abuse.)

I am not a developer but a power user (business oriented) using a mixture of computers at the office those mac's and linux pc.'s.
Then I have purchased two remix minis for my office to test and see if they could replace desktop computers. As Radon_22 said cleverly, my idea was to achieve "mobile computing!" without carrying heavy laptops by the help of home tv's. So remix mini was the good device, remix os was the brilliant but with a limited memory it couldn't replace the computer.
We business users will like to see more RAM options (4GB min.) to replace pc's.
Please give us more RAM to help the businesses all around the world to simplify IT infrastructure.
Thanks to Jide people those made great idea came true.

I'd be in for a Remix Mini with Shield like internals and horsepower along with either the ability to put apps to the sd card or 64+gb of internal memory or both. With the changes to Android M and especially N, 16gb of internal memory is no longer enough.

As a web devoloper i have everything but a web browser with devtools enabled. If there would be a special developer version of browser (chromium preferably) i will be the most happy Remix Mini user!

Get phoenix os. Phoenix has better support and better os!!!

Get Phoenix OS as it has way better support on the PC side and the TEAM doesn't take your money and say thanx now **** OFF. Remix is simply just stealing money from its users or/and clients. REMIX ALSO lost its key employee so don't expect them help since they don't give a **** about anyone or anything. Remix is a GREEDY COMPANY. Has no one noticed they almost stopped with furthering there updates and just start this kick starter bull****, take the money and then say we no longer support that or this. THERE RIPPING EVERYONE OFF. DO NOT WAIST A DIME ON THESE SELFISH ASSHOLES!!

First.. this is the "remix mini" section.. its not possible to install Phoenix Os on the mini
Two.. How are you? to tell us.. what to install on our PC's (let users decide for them self)
three.. you like remix os or you don't / both Pc Os's have there flaws
four.. last week I got update 2.0.807 So.. support is not dead yet (on remix mini a device from 2015)
five.. its my money...I worked hard for it...and if I like to support jide...I will
six..everyone got ripped off?? are you high?? dumbass ( where is the proof)
Cheers...

@Sentario
Jide has taken too many projects on their backs and now some of them suffer delays due to lack of resources.
They do Remix Mini, Remix OS for PC, Remix Ultratablet, Remix Pro, Remix Player, Remix OS itself and last year they had to shift focus into Remix IO to provide a good product.
I wouldn't expect much of Jide until they start shopping the IO.
I'm also dissapointed with this situation, but I understand it.
I don't understand why you say they steal money. They simply don't.
Remix Mini Android support is dead because the SoC chip manufacturer Allwinner pulled the plug on it.
Anyway, how could you expect much from a market experiment device that cost you 30-40$.
Manage your expectations, show some reasoning and then criticize.
Using false accusations and cursing is a low method of reaching your goals.

Tab A 8.0 (SM-T350) spotted running Android 7.0 on Benchmarks

The Galaxy Tab A 8.0, which is also known as the SM-T350, was spotted running Google's new software, Android 7.0. Check the attachments for proof.View attachment 4225926

After conferring with my contact at samsung he confirms there is a test build out there internally however will unlikely will be released at 7.1.1 to public and don't expect a leAK of the firmware I already asked and was told very resounding negative.

Thanks for the info but what does unlikely be released mean? How about android 7.0 then. I just got a Tab A 7" (SM-280)to replace my old nexus 2012, and find it really poor that this cant even be upgraded to MM at the very least. Not even a custom rom. Why Samsung is even promoting and marketing this all over the place as a 2016 version yet shipping it with 5.1.1 is appalling. Hopefully this internal build actually does make it out and can be ported to the T-280 as its nearly same spec. Should just be a downscaling UI difference I would think.

Sorry i must not gave specified what i meant i meant that it will unlikely be 7.1.1 that will be released it will most likely be 7.1.2

The T280 uses a Spreadtrum SoC while the T350 uses Qualcomm. That's a big difference.

We're getting Nougat!

Android Go

Hi guys,
Recently Google announced that tomorrow 6th of December when they release 8.1 Oreo they're going to release also Android Go Oreo for low end devices, and would like to ask it would be possible to port this in the Nexus 4 ?
Because the device can handle it and it would be perfect for it to have an official lightweight rom
Here is also the link from the announcement

Yes I am also interested in this!!!

Is it really necessary though? I mean, the Nexus 4's specification can handle full-fledged Android just fine.....

well depends, as a phone is ok but with only 16gb of storage installing only a few apps the storage gets occupied quickly or with only the Android OS installed but with GO at least you have latest Android OS and the low storage requirement is a plus...
Or on the other hand i could install other roms but something official is not bad either as a option !

Pine phone OS's on Remix mini

Hmm... today I watched.. ETA prime's YouTube vid... about Pine Phone
It has 4 opensource operating systems... ( currently in beta? )
But most interesting is the fact, is that specs are about the same as the Remix Mini
That's makes me think... could we get these OS to run on the Remix mini?
Are there people like me? ... still interested in a Remix mini (possible upgrade pad)
Mine box is still running 24\7... but android 5.1 is getting old
-Normale things...like buying stuff online is getting harder as its a no longer supported platform version
Thoughts? opinions?

I am so interested in this, but I am not a dev and have no idea what goes into doing this type of work.
I've had my Remix for a for a few years now and just want to update because of the no longer supported platform issue.
Unfortunately I would be the wrong person the ask for help with this...

Yes! Yes! Yes! This is a great idea! I have so many things is like to use my remix mini for, but the system is pretty old. I can't even root mine ...
Sometimes I think about trying to learn to develop custom ROMs... I wish I wasn't so lazy.

I'd very welcome any sort of updates about the device.
I'm kind of curious, what do you guys use this device for nowadays?
