Jailbreak ps3 with Android phones Coming soon??

Since the release of the PSGroove open-source PS JailBreak PS3 exploit there have been numerous clones and ports in the works to other devices, which now includes the JailBreak Tiny (dubbed PSGroove Buddy) and a WIP Android port.
xiaNaix of PSX-Scene.com (linked above) reports via TiaoWiki.com that the JailBreak Tiny is under development by the TIAO community, who state the following about the project, to quote:
"We are working hard on the Jailbreak Tiny (a.k.a PSGroove Buddy) for your PS3. You can install open-source firmware (PSGroove etc.) to this USB dongle, which will enable you to run homebrews on your PS3!
We haven't decided on the price, but as usual, it won't be expensive and our price is always SHIPPED price! It will have diygadget/TIAO logo."
An Android PSGroove port is also in the works by Netzke on his Blog and qberty1337.
To quote on their progress thus far: "I'm currently working on a android port of PSj. You can follow my progress on. Look me up on twitter and blogspot. Currently the only real requirement is that your phone be rooted and running an android OS.
Also this is not limited to just phones. You can also use an android tablet. Or any other device you have that runs Android os. It appears to work on my netbook as well. I'm very close to producing a fully working bug free app for this."
"Lol I just got my Android to mimic the 6 port hub. Stage 1 Complete. Stage 2 done. Thinking If I should use PSGroove or OpenPSJailbreak as a base. for stage 3."
Also, spunks310 let us know HERE that another N900 Port is in development as well.
Finally, ps2chiper and atommann from the Shenzhen Linux user group announced they are working on a low-cost and open-source PS JailBreak hardware design, as follows:
"We saw the news for PSGroove and I convinced atommann to use his avr skills to design open hardware for PSGroove to stop pirates from profiting. Our goal is to sell the open hardware at cost to anybody who wants it.
Here is a alpha design created on geda. We will let you guys know when the final design is done and the price seems to be around 3 dollars each."

When will Google Tv be loved?

This is just a topic open for debate and discussion based on my limited knowledge and consumeristic, impatient, and biased views.
Perhaps like many of you when I heard about Google TV I dropped a load. Holy $&!# I thought. My android phone is rooted and running custom ROMS and doing things the manufacturer and carrier never allowed or implemented. So I went out and bought a NSX46GT1 and havent looked back since. I have never been able to compare my Sony say LG's version or Apple TV but I feel its safe to say that Google TV is the future. Its kind of "gimmicky" right now but Im confident it will only grow because of Androids almost limitless potential. There has been some back and forth at least from big manufacturers about producing a set top box or all in one TV. However at least a handful of kickstarters and smaller companies are putting Google TV and Android on USB sticks or other peripherals. Amazing in my opinion and I cant wait for it to blow up for the simple reason of when I can finally modify and play with as I have been accustomed to with my phone and tablet. As of right now I am disappointed with the growth of development, at no fault to the community itself. Firstly Sony (maybe others) have updated their TV's to remove root exploits. Secondly saturation in the market is very low. The less people and devs are exposed to it the less of community will build around it. Thirdly, and this may be a sticky point, fragmentation. The variety of set top boxes and TV's, ect. can effect development. Now I have side loaded a number of Apps, Launchers, File Browsers, Live Wallpapers, ect. and at least in my case much of it has been removed because it mostly doesn't play well. Again I only have experience with my TV so milage may vary. And also updates; I'm still running 3.2! Thats 2 versions behind. If I had to rethink my purchase then perhaps I would either wait or buy a set top box. When it gomes time to upgrade either your Google TV or TV set, you can do so seperatly with a set top box. Also Sony isn't the best company when it comes to unlocking their devices as has been seen with the PS3. Most of my complaints stem from impatients but that is because I know how great the potential can be. To end, again Im biased, not a developer, an Android Fan Boy, and clinically diagnosed with ADD! So what are your thoughts?

Is touchpad a good option for kids in 2020

Hi- I have a 9 year old daughter who is learning to play piano. We were recommended to give her a specific Android app by her teacher to use. The problem is, I'm having a hard time finding an appropriate device for her. I already have several phones in the house, some old kitkat era cheap-as-heck tablets from forever ago, 3 Kindle Fires, 2 Microsoft Surfaces and some laptops. It runs perfectly fine on my old phone, but the screen is too small for her to read along and practice. I can run bluestacks on a laptop and get it working on a nice big display, but its too cumbersome and not practical for her, not to mention some complications with Google's account services in paying for courses on the app. It seems to recognize that it isn't a real Android environment in the emulator. The Kindle Fires are the perfect form factor and can sort of sideload the APK, but it's the same problem as the emulator, the app relies heavily on Google's account services framework to work, and while I was able to launch the app, I can't make it connect to an account to purchase courses properly (keeps throwing errors). The old kit-kat era tablets are having trouble even loading up the app, so I think it just needs a more modern OS.
So I'm sitting here thinking, gosh, I should just buy another tablet. Which feels dumb for a specific-use like this. I'm having trouble justifying the cost of another portable computing device. My brother offered his old Touchpad, saying it is honestly collecting dust right now and runs some versions of Android. So I headed over here to see how development is going.
I see there's some Pie flavors available now (nice!), but I'm also seeing that they are somewhat works-in-progress and may not be reliable, fast, or have full support for audio (something I definitely need - the app requires mic and sound control). Kit kat seems like it was reliable on the Touchpad, but I definitely don't want to go back that far and find out it still won't work like my other tablets.
How's Oreo on this device? Is it well supported? Does it run smoothly with all hardware working?
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Looking forward to your opinions, thanks so much!

New to XDA - excited to learn more about rooting my device, but also keen to learn more about ASHA support

Good day, fine folks at XDA!
My name is Charles Schultz. I picked up my first Android device the summer of 2021, a cheap Umidigi A9. Their support absolutely sucks! However, they also sent me an additional A9 for free, so I am happy to give rooting a try since I have a spare device.
My biggest problem right now is that the A9 does not support ASHA and streaming to my hearing aids (Jabra Enhance Pro). The Jabras seem to only be compatible with devices that have Bluetooth 5.0 and greatere (check), support for BLE (check), and ASHA ( ). From what I have read so far, Android 10 and up provides support for ASHA, so I have to infer that Umidigi has not baked ASHA support into their branded version of Android. I have been asking them for quite some time for help, but Umidigi support is REALLY BAD(tm).
I am an IT professional who tinkers with various languages and feels quite at home with Linux. Rooting an entire Phone OS seems very daunting, but also exciting at the same time. I am anxious to dip my toes into the XDA waters.
Thanks to all of you who help make XDA such a rich resource for the rest of us.

Nice intro Charles! welcome to XDA

Hi y'all

I don't have a heavy technical background but I am a huge open source fan who also likes to thinker with (older) (Android) devices.
Like trying to give them a new lease on life. Also in general an upcycle/recycle fan and an heavy vintage audio & hifi fan (I repair and restore).
I've allready put custom roms on old Samsung tablets. The oldest (and smallest) one is now used to control my raspi dacs with Moode Audio (connected to vintage audio gear/setups off course...). Before that I used like an old eee pc with linux for that purpose...
My first visits and searches on XDA were for an Chinese smartphone (Umi Z1) which served me well and an crappy Chinese tablet (BMXC YS900) but until this day I didn't find any way to root them (nor custom roms) to like revive or repurpose. I should do a new search here...
Very recently I also bought and installed an Chinese android head unit in my car and I would like to tweak it a little to my personal flavour. So again, it led me to XDA . And I allready found some info on codes here...
Greetings from Belgium on a cold saturday night. Winter is almost at the door I think...

Great introduction! Welcome to XDA and continue to enjoy the forums!
Keep warm! Cheers
