So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the Pandigital Multimedia Novel. It is Android OS but sadly it is not connected to the Android market. The market it does have is a bit limited but it can support most 3rd-party applications so I was wondering what applications you can recommend. This tablet doesn't have mobile functions, just wifi internet capabilities.
Linux:
Android's kernel is based on the Linux kernel and has further architecture changes by Google outside the typical Linux kernel development cycle.[56] Android does not have a native X Window System nor does it support the full set of standard GNU libraries, and this makes it difficult to port existing Linux applications or libraries to Android.[57]
Certain features that Google contributed back to the Linux kernel, notably a power management feature called wakelocks, were rejected by mainline kernel developers, partly because kernel maintainers felt that Google did not show any intent to maintain their own code.[58][59][60] Even though Google announced in April 2010 that they would hire two employees to work with the Linux kernel community,[61] Greg Kroah-Hartman, the current Linux kernel maintainer for the -stable branch, said in December 2010 that he was concerned that Google was no longer trying to get their code changes included in mainstream Linux.[59] Some Google Android developers hinted that "the Android team was getting fed up with the process", because they were a small team and had more urgent work to do on Android.[62]
However, in September 2010, Linux kernel developer Rafael J. Wysocki added a patch that improved the mainline Linux wakeup events framework. He said that Android device drivers that use wakelocks can now be easily merged into mainline Linux, but that Android's opportunistic suspend features should not be included in the mainline kernel.[63][64] In 2011 Linus Torvalds said that "eventually Android and Linux would come back to a common kernel, but it will probably not be for four to five years".[65]
In December 2011, Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the start of the Android Mainlining Project, which aims to put some Android drivers, patches and features back into the Linux kernel, starting in Linux 3.3.[66] further integration being expected for Linux Kernel 3.4.[67]
Features:
Current features and specifications:[68][69][70]
Handset layouts
The platform is adaptable to larger, VGA, 2D graphics library, 3D graphics library based on OpenGL ES 2.0 specifications, and traditional smartphone layouts.
Storage
SQLite, a lightweight relational database, is used for data storage purposes.
Connectivity
Android supports connectivity technologies including GSM/EDGE, IDEN, CDMA, EV-DO, UMTS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, NFC and WiMAX.
Messaging
SMS and MMS are available forms of messaging, including threaded text messaging and now Android Cloud To Device Messaging (C2DM) is also a part of Android Push Messaging service.
Multiple language support
Android supports multiple languages.[42]
Web browser
The web browser available in Android is based on the open-source WebKit layout engine, coupled with Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. The browser scores 100/100 on the Acid3 test on Android 4.0.
Java support
While most Android applications are written in Java, there is no Java Virtual Machine in the platform and Java byte code is not executed. Java classes are compiled into Dalvik executables and run on Dalvik, a specialized virtual machine designed specifically for Android and optimized for battery-powered mobile devices with limited memory and CPU. J2ME support can be provided via third-party applications.
Media support
Android supports the following audio/video/still media formats: WebM, H.263, H.264 (in 3GP or MP4 container), MPEG-4 SP, AMR, AMR-WB (in 3GP container), AAC, HE-AAC (in MP4 or 3GP container), MP3, MIDI, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAV, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP.[70]
Streaming media support
RTP/RTSP streaming (3GPP PSS, ISMA), HTML progressive download (HTML5 <video> tag). Adobe Flash Streaming (RTMP) and HTTP Dynamic Streaming are supported by the Flash plugin.[71] Apple HTTP Live Streaming is supported by RealPlayer for Android,[72] and by the operating system in Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).[45]
Additional hardware support
Android can use video/still cameras, touchscreens, GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, magnetometers, dedicated gaming controls, proximity and pressure sensors, thermometers, accelerated 2D bit blits (with hardware orientation, scaling, pixel format conversion) and accelerated 3D graphics.
Multi-touch
Android has native support for multi-touch which was initially made available in handsets such as the HTC Hero. The feature was originally disabled at the kernel level (possibly to avoid infringing Apple's patents on touch-screen technology at the time).[73] Google has since released an update for the Nexus One and the Motorola Droid which enables multi-touch natively.[74]
Bluetooth
Supports A2DP, AVRCP, sending files (OPP), accessing the phone book (PBAP), voice dialing and sending contacts between phones. Keyboard, mouse and joystick (HID) support is available in Android 3.1+, and in earlier versions through manufacturer customizations and third-party applications.[75]
Video calling
Android does not support native video calling, but some handsets have a customized version of the operating system that supports it, either via the UMTS network (like the Samsung Galaxy S) or over IP. Video calling through Google Talk is available in Android 2.3.4 and later. Gingerbread allows Nexus S to place Internet calls with a SIP account. This allows for enhanced VoIP dialing to other SIP accounts and even phone numbers. Skype 2.1 offers video calling in Android 2.3, including front camera support.
Multitasking
Multitasking of applications is available.[76]
Voice based features
Google search through voice has been available since initial release.[77] Voice actions for calling, texting, navigation, etc. are supported on Android 2.2 onwards.[78]
Tethering
Android supports tethering, which allows a phone to be used as a wireless/wired Wi-Fi hotspot. Before Android 2.2 this was supported by third-party applications or manufacturer customizations.[79]
Screen capture
Android supports capturing a screenshot by pressing the power and volume-down buttons at the same time.[80] Prior to Android 4.0, the only methods of capturing a screenshot were through manufacturer and third-party customizations or otherwise by using a PC connection (DDMS developer's tool). These alternative methods are still available with the latest Android.
External storage
Most Android devices include microSD slot and can read microSD cards formatted with FAT32, Ext3fs or Ext4fs file system. To allow use of high-capacity storage media such as USB flash drives and USB HDDs, many Android tablets also include USB 'A' receptacle. Storage formatted with FAT32 is handled by Linux Kernel VFAT driver, while 3rd party solutions are required to handle other popular file systems such as NTFS, HFS Plus and exFAT...

owning a cheap chinese box with z66 chip, not android tv but simple android mobile system, think it is 7.0 based.
when using vpn to watch netflix usa it works on both, windows 10 and smartphone android 9.0.
using the ssame vpn and streaming server on the android box netflix tells me i am using a proxy and does not work.
box has no gps for sure, uses same internet at home, just lan not wlan like the smartphone, what might be the issue that netflix gets it there but doesnt detect on smartphone?
any fix hint would be great)
I am integrating an embedded system (atom board) with a Wifi Camera for a DIY security project. The camera is connected to the wifi router and I can verify its IP from within the android app. Camera functions well with an android phone through an android app. Now what I want to do is to be able to receive the video feed on the atom board.
I have tried many OS (Linux Distros, Android-x86). Áll android-x86 versions (version 4-9) hang at the "Android logo". This is most probably due to the onboard graphics card (i.e. Intel SCH controller US15W/US15X). Only Android 4.0 image works however, when I run the App it crashes right when I try to access the camera within the App. Youtube videos don't play smoothly either, they severely lag/stutter to the point of becoming almost frozen. It shows that the driver even in android 4.0 isn't working well.
So, I would like either to have a working version of android-x86 on the system or someway to hack the camera stream by hacking the android app. If I could get the url that the camera App uses to access the camera and the ports at which it connects, I might be able to access the camera from an application in a linux distro.
