Webcam Driver For Kaiser !?!

HI all,
I'm requesting if you anyone knows a free WEBCAM software where it can turn the KAISER into a webcam that can be used in Live messenger or skype etc......... I've searched on the internet but they aren't working on WM6, so i'm asking for help
Thanks!

I know that you stated you were looking for a 'free' solution and sadly I do not believe one exists. However, you can check out a non-freeware program called Webcamera Plus from Ateksoft. I'm sure it would work on the Kaiser.

It does work. I set up my Kaiser (Dutty's Touch ROM version 3.0) connected via USB to my OQO 02 (XP Pro Tablet) and used Skype. I only get about 4 frames per second. I don't know if it's the software or maybe the cable I'm using is USB 1.1. Both the front and back camera's work (finally, a use for the front camera in the USA!). My front camera seems to have a weird angle to get a full face shot. Sort of up and to the right. The resolution, as expected, is better on the back camera.
I guess I'll go through the struggle of setting up a bluetooth activesynch to see how that works...

any success would like to know how well it works before I buy it.

Gosh, with the bad video driver on the Kaiser, i would bet the results would suck big time............the reason i'm asking if the kaiser can do webcaming is because i'm on a 64-bit OS system and its hard to get webcams to work with correct drivers on my 64-bit windows xp....I'm hoping that if this works, then i can use it as webcam.....

I have Webcamera plus version 2 and it works great, I get 10-15 fps over wifi. no need of cables.

I am getting 1~2fps over the USB cable, any ideas why it could be so slow?, on the phone the pciture is far smoother, but on the PC is very slow

[Q]-Time Warner Cable app

So TWC puts out an app on the market to control your DVR or cable box and watch your stations. It is designed to work on ICS and some people have said it works on JB. I have a strange problem with it I can't figure out and am not getting direction from the ROM makers.
I have this app HP TP running a CM9 nightly from July. Works great. However if I come up to an August or Sept nightly, it just displays black for the channels. It doesn't complain about root (which is resolved by renaming superuser and removing test keys from build.prop). It also works on my Asus TF101 but it actually performs worse than the TP. Motion tends to be a little herky jerky kinda like under powered video card on a PC. On my Iconia 500, it acts like the TP on the newer CM9 nightlies. No complaints about root but the channels are black. Now when the app tries to run on an under powered device, it will say "unable to display channel at this time." I think the black channels are not due to a weak device but something else.
Can anybody fathom a guess as to why the app displays black channels like this? I've wiped caches on the TP and even reinstalled the app but there's no change. As for the Iconia, it was brand new to the device when it gave me the black channels.

[Q] Strange question about throw function on E4

Hope no one minds me posting this here, there isn't an E4 section yet and I figured this would be the best option.
I have spoke with sony about this over email, but they just sent me a very generic response about how throw works, leading me to believe they didn't read my email at all.
I am wanting to use the throw option to throw music to my WDTV. I have turned off automatic selection, as the first thing it goes to for that is screen mirroring, which while it works fine is a bit of a battery drain just for music where I don't really need the screen, since you can't turn the screen off during screen mirroring. So I want to manually select DLNA, which both my phone and the WDTV have.
Interestingly when I turn off the automatic selection it still only picks up my WDTV box for screen mirroring and not DLNA. However, once I have music playing via screen mirroring if I open the family guy game and play for about 5 minutes the music in the background will go off, then when I close the game the screen mirroring has turned off, but everything is still being broadcasted to my WDTV and I am able to turn the music back on and the screen off and have everything continue to be broadcasted. I have been doing this several days now and it works every time, so not a coincidence, it seems the family guy game is somehow triggering it to enter DLNA instead of screen mirroring. Its very strange.
I can also connect to WDTV via wifi direct, which to my understanding is DLNA, in the wifi advanced settings, and I can connect to WDTV via DLNA in the media server settings, so the devices are recognising each other via DLNA, but not when I am trying to throw something.
Any clues? For now I can keep using the family guy workaround LOL, but its not ideal.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Forgot to mention, I am unrooted, running 4.4.4

Also sometimes screen mirroring and throw will turn on when I don't want it to, can't figure out how to turn it off though

Now often when I am near the wdtv it pops up in my status bar every couple of minutes that its connected. Starting to annoy me

Received an update the other day, but this issue is the same if anyone has any ideas

I still am stuck on this and would appreciate any help with getting my stuff to connect via DLNA without the annoying workaround, and in getting the throw function to turn off properly when I am done.

I use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...cut&pcampaignid=APPU_1_taLCVY2bI4GMwgTzlYyQBg

Thanks, but it looks like that is simply a shortcut to open screen mirroring, I already have toggles for both throw and screen mirroring in my pull down drawer so that's not my problem.
My problem is that although I can use dlna/WiFi direct to make a media server, to connect in general to transfer things, and to throw stuff in sonys official apps by using the button actually in the app, if I use throw to stream third party apps like Google play music it will only connect via screen mirroring, unless I use the family guy workaround I mentioned in the first post.
Since it works with that workaround it is clearly a possible thing to do, I'm just trying to figure out how to connect that way straight away.

mk809iii stick wont rotate

Anyone with a good recommendation with what to try that i havent tried.

Screen Cast to TV

Has anyone found a way to screen cast? I've seen and tried a build prop edit that at least allows cast to recognize TV but won't actually allow the screen cast to "beam" the display over. I've read android took away the native functionality at some point, but my HTC 10 worked fine. Any thoughts?

I'm running stock rooted and I can cast just fine to my Sony tv or to my apple tv just by selecting it from the devices shown without any build.prop edits.

Casting works fine for me too.
Doesnt work when using an app that prohibts it like NFL app or MLB app.
Is that what you are asking to cast?

I just go to Settings->Display->Cast.
I have tried this on stock/pureNexus/rooted/unrooted.
I have a Sony TV. Runs some version on Android.
Be on the same Wi-Fi?
I don't know what else to say.

Nope, just straight up mirror my phone screen. Never had issues with it before on any phone I tried...My son's iPhone and wife's new G6 both do it. And funny you should mention NFL Mobile, that is how I watched games on the road to n a hotel, mirroring to hotel room TV.
Edit...My bust after thinking about, it was DirecTV/Sunday ticket, never tried the NFL Mobile app.

I just tried to cast the phone's screen to my Smart TV(Sony) - didn't work.
Here are the steps I take when trying to connect Pixel phone:
-Go to WiFi Direct settings on the phone
-Put TV in screen mirror mode(input)
-TV's name/model appears on the pixel phone
-Tapping on the above name/model, just says "Invited"
-On TV's screen, under devices nothing comes up
-If I go to settings>display>cast on the pixel, there is nothing in the list. On Nexus 7 I was able to select "enable wireless display" in the menu.
I took the same steps in the past with my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet and it works properly. As a matter of fact I still have my tablet and tested just now - works fine. I believe Pixel either missing the feature or has a support for a different mirroring mode which my TV isn't compatible with. I do know that my TV works with Miracast.
I just found this tread...which seems to point out that Google possibly removed the feature.
