Does anybody have an idea of a list of Android devices exists?
Best would be with specification (i.e. NFC, physical keyboard, RAM, ...) and date of delivery of different countries.
Otherway we should start a list...
You can already find the information in the device database tab (see at the top of the page) if you use the advanced search to sort out only Android devices.
The only thing you won't see is the release date per country. There's juste one date (the first release I assume).

Hi.
I was just thinking (I'm a big fan of custom/programmable multi-key controllers) that it would be a great idea to be able to use my Samsung Tab as a controller (programmable) for pc tasks.
Once upon a (better) time, Saitek made a marvellous device called the P8000 (or PCDash2 in the US) [ http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/Saitak_P8000/ ] and more recently (but not quite) there is the Ergodex DX1 system [ http://www.ergodex.com/mainpage.htm ].
Would it be possible/feasible to develop an application for Android that could function as the P8000 does?
I'd be okay for a static-keymap (only able to customize displayed image), only send joybutton1..joybuttonX signals to pc via USB, no need to be able to program function on the device itself. As long as it uses some form of standard signals, AutoHotkey can handle the pc-side of things. But programmable macros on-device would of course be better for people not familiar with AHK (majority, I'd say). And custom keymap would of course be top-notch, but might be stretching it.
Anyone else interested in this, and more specifically, any developers want to make something out of this?
I'll put my money (whatever small amount there is left of that) where my mouth is, and start:
* Static-keymap (4x5 [or preferably 6x7 on a tablet] "buttons"), standard JoyButton-signals, ability to customize displayed image. [15€]
* Ability to customize "button" grid (4x4 - 10x10 or so? for larger tablets?) [+5€]
* Ability to customize the button "grid" arbitrarily without being restricted by default x times y grid. (= customize buttons per-pixel. via xml?) [+10€]
* On-device selection of button functions (send keypress/joybutton/short macro) [+10€]
* customizable keymap (ability to change the button layout and number of buttons) [+15€]
* add button types (slider, "knob") [+10€]
* usable via bluetooth [+5€]
Please, if you're interested add your ideas (but stay on topic, this is supposed to be a customizable/programmable controller, not an elephant breeding machine or anything else.) But do add your own ideas (and any amount of money you'd be willing to pay.)
Devs, if you need more info on what I'm talking about, don't hesitate to contact.
tl;dr: I love my P8000 but I want a modern version of it, preferably in the form of an Android app that I can use on my 7" Galaxy Tab (or any Tablet/Note).
The P8000 is STILL the only viable controller on the market (well, Ergodex kind-of, but can't customize the "displayed image", only the layout) for this kind of work, and it hasn't been sold for years.
Also, with the current availability of touch screen devices, I'm dumbfounded that there ISN'T an application for this already (or a dozen). It should be very easy to do. (at least if Android can easily send button events to the host computer.)
I think I'm allowed a bump after a year. I'm still very interested if someone can code an (or point me towards an existing) application like this.
There's DroidPad, but it currently doesn't support x64 and doesn't seem to incorporate any image display feature at all, just the b&w layout.
Sorry for the new bump, but I think this is worth it.
Because I found a program almost exactly like I want, unfortunately it is for iOS.
Look here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/custom-keypad/id433683617?mt=8
That's what I mostly mean. Add an ability to lay-over an image and were there.
Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask (if this is the case please by all means move this thread) - but I've discovered some chinese tablets don't support the 32 bit rendering which FMH2013 is using to display its screens.
I've written a 16 bit renderer which will allow people with these devices to play the game HOWEVER the devices don't appear to know they can't render 32 bit so I'm having to detect the devices individually via. their device specs.
At the moment I'm mainly using the android.os.Build.DEVICE field - if anyone has issues with a device running FMH where it fails to display the games start page once the splash page then please let me know with the name of your device and if at all possible the android.os.Build information for that device, that way I can ensure its detected properly in the forthcoming update (and the game works upon it).
For example:
android.os.Build.DEVICE
"nuclear-f721" = Versus TouchPad7
"crane-a721" = CNM Touchpad7
Thanks,
Marc
Hello All,
I was thinking that we should start a discussion which would help companies with feedback in giving up a phone which related to current market situation and components available. It is very simple everyone would have a configuration they would be looking for to own. A configuration that the phone maker is unable to give at a certain price or model. We put in our specification , name the phone the specification is derived from, and relate to the Phone manufacturer with the configuration.
We can have the following Specification that make the phone worth:
Processor -
RAM -
OS - (Multiple Options here)
Storage -
Micro SD card Support - Yes/No
Display - (Size/Type/Screen Protection)
Sound - (Not many options here)
Connectivity - (DLNA,HDMI, NFC, BLUETOOTH, WiFi etc.)
GSP - (We have limited options here)
Other feature you would want on phone - IRIS Scanner, Fringerprint Scanner, Touchpad
Let us think and see if we can really help the current market and make the manufactures listen to us and our needs.
Hi there,
Good news for me and for the android community, my company decided to replace all blackberry devices by android devices (Normally by 3 model Samsung.)
Of course, this must be done quickly.
We have around 1000 devices to replace.
My question is : How can we create a "master" to industrialize the process ?
One device needs a lot of "tuning". Like applications of course, launch bar shortcut, desktop to personnalise... I guess one device need at least 45 minutes to be ready for the user. This is not really good
We have BES10 has a MDM. But as you know, BES10 can't totally manage Android devices.
Is there a way to clone a device ? With all applications and custom settings ?
Many thanks.
NB : I hope the general section will be the good one.
No way to do that ?
up ? maybe a magical application to do that ?
