[REQUEST??] Turn Nexus One into a webcam? even possible?

with the 720p recording on this phone, im thinking it would make a kick ass webcam...is that even a possibility though?

Root your phone, get DroidVNC, forward your ports correctly on your router.
Start droidVNC (you gotta be on wifi), start your camera app.
Now login to your ip with the port, and enter the pin code in droidvnc setting, and bam, you see your phone's camera. heck u can even control your android now.

[GUIDE] Connect Wii Controller to G Tablet and Play Games

Hey All. I figured I would do a video tutorial on how to connect the Nintendo Wii controller to the Viewsonic G Tablet. I connected it earlier today and it works great. This is just a basic tutorial showing you what you need and how to use it, but it does not go into detail on the specific options of the programs. Here are the programs that you will need to download from the android market to get started:
1. Romgripper
2. DroidEmuLite
3. WiimoteController
Enjoy!

anyone try this out yet? any issues or tips? Please post if you have found any.
Thanks,
scott

I actually knew how to do this already but the one thing that I'm not sure of is if we can play a two player game on this thing using two wiimotes? I see that the wiimote program sees both controllers but it doesn't do anything while using it in the SNES or tigermame emulators. Hope u can help. Great vid btw.

Epic. So glad I found this. Reinforces my thankfulness for buying this Tab.

can this also be done with a ps3 remote?

The Wii remote also works great with Quake as well. Pretty neat ability of the gtab.

I am unable to locate romgripper via the android marketplace or amazon marketplace on the gtablet. Anyone have a valid link to the apk?

Works fine on Brilliant Corners. Was using it earlier to play Legend of Zelda quest 2. Not using any guides so this is gonna take a while to beat.

Brilliant Corners? Is that a game?
Are you using stock? I haven't rooted my gtab. Was hoping it would not be necessary.

Anyone able to use the nunchuck joystick as a proper joystick with incremental speed for walking vs. running? I am only able to map up, down, left and right. I expect it's impossible, but it would make n64oid massively more fun.

Brilliant Corners is a ROM with a 1.2 bootloader by roebeet. It's a lot like Vegan Tab 5.1.1.
I'm using nesoid to play the roms & the wiimotecontoller app to connect the wiimote via bluetooth.

The application installs and starts but no movies can be played. Not sure which features DO work. It looks awesome though!

Just tried it and it works. Open my queue and played a movie. Finally...

Gets further than any other netflix release but just a black screen when playing. I'm sure it's not far off. DX liberty. 5

Well, I'm sure tegra2 devices won't be too far behind. All of the devices that are supported have similar processors. The tegra2 is much better, but different. I'm sure netflix is just making sure that there is a quality user experience before releasing it.

It plays on the TF101? Strange. It told me it's not compatible with my device... Maybe it's the firewall at work that keeps messing it up? But others also reported it's only a black screen. Why the differences? I'm rooted and running PRIME! 1.2

Who if the author? I'm looking through the market and i see netflix but they don't seem real... Where is the official application

The way I understand is this is a hardware issue. When they initially announced it for Android, they claimed to only be working with Qualcomm in order to prevent piracy of content. I haven't checked to see if they've expanded beyond that just yet though...so this could be entirely invalid and be a mere software thing

If this is the same app that was leaked off an LG phone a couple of monts ago, the problem is DRM. The app i looking for a DRM file that's not located on the device.

[HOWTO] Get most Gameloft games compatible with the S4 HTC One X

To get most games compatible with the S4 HTC One X, we need to edit our build.prop file to match that of a Galaxy Note.
Also, there is a multitouch bug in AOKP and CM9 right now where if you hold one finger and put on another, as soon as you pick up one finger the system will stop recognizing the other finger as well. This leads to a really annoying FPS experience. I'd recommend running another custom ROM that is built off stock for now if you plan on playing a game that uses this type of control.
1. Navigate to /system/ and open the build.prop file from a file manager of your choice that has root access (I prefer Root Explorer from the Play Store)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Change the following values to the ones in bold:
ro.product.model=GT-N700
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-N700
ro.product.device=galaxynote
ro.product.board=MSM8960
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=galaxynote
The values are case sensitive by the way.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Reboot and then try to download the game data again. There should no longer be a "This game is not compatible with your device" error.
Having issues? Make sure there are no other instances of ro.product.model in your build.prop. Some ROMs may do this. If it does have another instance, delete it.

Not all games work after that, some of them have some compatabillity issues.

I will add more working games as people tell me that they are working through this method.
I know the games downloaded via the gameloft website have been working fine, but for those of us who download the games from the market from other devices and want to download it on our S4 HTC One X now, this works.
Thanks to thatg for originally providing me with his build.prop file that he modded.
Please thank this post if this helped you!
Also, I don't take responsibility for any games that you might buy and then expect to work but they don't. This may not work for everyone (it should, but still) but if it doesn't, don't blame me for making you spend more money :/

Will this allow us to actually purchase the game from gameloft or the play store or do we need to already have the apk?
Edit: I was able to download it but I am getting the not compatible error. Are there other lines in the build.prop that need to be edited?

I believe it has been working fine from gameloft.com, since they have some special "for evita" section on their website or something. I personally have never bought off their website though.
The apk from the market doesn't work with the HTC One X though, so I just grabbed the APK from my old device and put it on here, did the mod, and it worked.
I'm not sure about whether it will allow you to download the game from the Play Store, though I would assume it would now and no longer display any compatibility issues.
Also, what game were you trying? Did you reboot after saving the changes?

I couldn't download it from Gameloft but did from the play store. I just edited the build.prop again to reflect the SOC that's in the Note (MSM8660) and am rebooting now. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Still didn't work, there's gotta be something else that needs to be changed.

Ah okay cool. Glad it worked! This game is amazing on our device haha. Especially at full brightness

This just made my day. I loved this on my iPhone and was pissed as hell when it wasn't compatible with our phone. Thanks man.
edit: Wow, this runs great on the One X, smooth as hell. My only complaint is that there are some effects missing from this version vs. the iPhone version (heat from gun is one that comes to mind) but otherwise it looks gorgeous. No idea why they wouldn't release it for our phone.

installed and updated but..
has anyone had the problem of screen being black or flickering?

Pics or it didn't happen!
Can someone post a video/pics of NOVA 3 running on your S4 One X?
PS: About the special effects, Hamdir from the international One X forums thinks that the resolution is the deciding factor for whether the game will run with full effects or not. Supposedly, if the 3 dot menu button is there, the game will run with full effects. If it isn't, then the game won't run with full effects. i.e if your resolution is lower than 1280 by 720, then it'll run with full effects. Can anybody confirm this? Additionally, Chainfire3d can also be used to get the full effects running. Link to original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27306438&postcount=39

kinda off topic, but does anyone know if doing this will let the One X run google wallet? I've been dying to try it.

Google Wallet isn't working because it doesn't have the correct permissions. Doing this won't help unfortunately.

I have a question about this method, Since we can spoof the system check to get these games working, do you think it is possible to spoof so it looks like a oneX T3?
So we can get some of the Nvidia games going, or do the software checks also look for hardware?

It depends I guess. Some games have very well written code to prevent it from running on other platforms. Dark Meadow comes to mind.
One way is to run Chainfire3d or Chainfire3d Pro, but that seems to only have limited success.
As for games like NOVA 3, see my post above

There are a few effects missing but not many, the game looks ridiculously good. I had this on my iphone 4S and of course it had full effects on that thing, and the difference between the two is negligible.
On a side note, once the game is installed and all the resources downloaded, you can revert to your old build.prop and the game still runs.
