[APP][2.1+]Virtual Wheel Beta 0.2

Hi Everyone,
This is the first app that I've publish, so any constructive criticisms are welcome.
Vritual Wheel:
This app allows you to use your android device as a wireless steering wheel to control racing/driving games on your PC.
Your android device and computer must be on the same network for this to work (meaning same router/switch).
This app currently works with both 32 and 64 bit Windows.
Installation and usage instructions are in the app description on the Play market.
Link:
Please leave me some feedbacks in this thread on what you like and what you don't like. Also what you want (other than the planned features) and any bugs (please also tell me what device and version of Android you are running).
Code:
Changelog:
[B]v0.1:[/B]
Initial Release
[B]v0.2:[/B]
Added steering angle adjustments and deadzone.
Added 64 bit support.
Thank You

id noticed your post on lfs forum earlier on so downloaded it, il be going on lfs soon so will give this a try and leave feedback

Thanks. My computer's graphics card just died on me yesterday, so I won't be able to do much development. Going to take about 3 days for the new GPU to come in. I plan to implement adjustable steering angle, calibration, and hopefully bluetooth communication in the next update. 64-bit is a bit harder than I thought, so that is currently delayed.

It's a fantastic app from what I can see. I'm using a 64bit pc so I'm eagerly awaiting the 64 bit release!
EDIT: Is there anyway to run it on a 64 bit pc as a 32 bit app or something? Like "Compatability mode" etc?

Unfortunately no. The 64 bit support has to do with the driver. Currently, I estimate about 1-2 weeks before I can get the 64 bit support working. So hang in there, it's coming

Ok, finally got my GPU. Just compiled the 64bit drivers, and tested to be working fine. All I have to do now is implement them into the installation package. 64 bit coming this weekend

good to hear, im on a 64 bit machine so would find these useful, i look forward to testing it on live for speed,

v0.2
Added steering angle adjustments and deadzone
Also added 64-bit support (I am still learning Windows Driver Development, so the implementation is not very efficient and clean. Hopefully I will be able to design a clean custom driver for both 32 and 64 bit within the next month)

Wow this is a sweet idea
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

How to make this app works with City Car Driving or Need For Speed Underground 2?
Would you give a way to configure it on PC (in games)?
Thanks...

I can confirm this works with the HTC One X and Saints Row 2, I'll check out some other games the coming days if I have time.
Really awesome development!
Two things didn't go very smooth though:
- installing the unsigned driver
- figuring out the correct axis and buttons
The first is a tough nut probably, but the latter could be solved by adding a help option in settings that shows the button map.
Idea's for further development:
- autolaunch the program with Windows, to the system tray
- autosearching from the app for running servers on the network (check out Unified Remote's implementation)
- choosing to use the two center buttons or using that as a touch area (for camera control)
- hook the volume buttons as shoulder buttons!
- allow custom layouts (maybe only colors and texts, but that would be cool to accomodate other games)

The PC client keeps failing when I start android app, I assume while connecting to PC.

This application must have a "Prevent Screen to Turn Off"

Use with Linux? Flightgear, etc.
There are numerous apps to keep screen on. Can use Xposed, appsettings module.

Getting the same error here. And one other thing - when I type the IP Address, which the program is showing me, i get absolutely no connection, but as soon as I enter my correct LAN IP Address, things get to the 'stopped responding' thingy...

hello ..! I wanted to install the file. exe of this application on my PC with windows 7 32bit and I have the following problem ..!
and also attached the LOG installation gives me the program ..!

I had a driver issue here, but I attempted a fix and I think it worked, VWheel device driver is now successfully installed, but still app is hanging in Windows when I open simultaneously Virtual Wheel in phone and on PC(As soon as it connects, it brakes down). Also, I can see that 32bit users are installing v0.3, im on x64 here, first tried installing program from the main link in GooglePlayStore, but it wasn't successful, so I saw that there is a 64-bit version, which is reporting v0.2a ?

Do I need Wi-Fi connection or I can just turn-on my Laptop wi-fi and my Xperia S wi-fi to use this?
P.S: I don't have Wi-Fi, I use Modem to connect to internet.

You have to have a Local Network e.g. a Router, only enabling Wi-Fi on your PC and Phone is not going to work but I think there were a few programs that might help you create a network between your laptop and your phone. Google for Wi-Fi Hotspot or something and search the results for the program that suits you best. Good luck. Im still stuck here with program crashing when I setup everything right. Dunno why also as I mentioned earlier, program reports wrong PC IP Address, check for solution on that also.
Error code: CLR20r3, tried all the fixes I could find in the web, no success... OP, try researching why this problem may occur and at least let me know cuz I'm struggling from 3 hours to fix this and get it up and running Admirations on your work too

Hi all. just thought I would share. Feel welcome to add to to the list.

Some favourite apps XDA post 3
Other Apps/apk that i have tested well and like.
Just thought this may interest you with file transfers&more between your phone & PC.
Connections via wireless & internet.
Apk called Airdroid in Google play & her
airdroid.com
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&feature=search_result
Works well with right version of Firefox & other browsers.
Try Android Manager v 1.4.0 by Starnode from Google playstore is tricky to find. Go to settings ( spanner/hammer ) & you will see OK. Auto switch of data when screen off etc.
Free or Paid version up to you.
So give you direct link here.play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.starnode.sysutils.BatteryInformer&hl=en
Android app i use for large file downloads.
aDownloader = torrent/http download resumer.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DroiDownloader&hl=en
For windows Pc not sure about Macs. I use this one.
freedownloadmanager.org/download
Try this ( GPS Test ). Very small download size 266kb. Excellent GUI and interface/settings/functions. Tests well with ICS 403 rom & later.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jaGFydGNyb3NzLmdwc3Rlc3QiXQ
Only tested ( ICS 403 ). This ( GPS Control ) really impressed/improved my GPS lockon/speed and reception signal specially inside my house/building.
Used GPS Test to verify this.
WARNING: Did freeze SgS2 after trying to rerun Apk after enabled setting. Seemed to work fine after fix permissions via Extweaks.
Valid point about GPS being De-tuned? by default?
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatdroid.android.gpscontrols2ad
DriveDroid in Google play is a Android/Windows program that allows you to boot LiveCd/Operating systems.
Link to DriveDroid homepage softwarebakery.com
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Ddrivedroid
From your Android device internal/external memory storage.
This allows you to boot/start PC & Laptops from your phone/device.
Excellent for data recovery & more.
Also can be used to prepare USB sticks & external hard drives.
Have been testing/using & as yet cannot fault.
A quoted email from Dev @FrozenCow.
Yes, that's good to hear. Most phones do not have a cdrom option, this is a kernel feature I (among others) have added to some of the CyanogenMod kernels, including the one of the Galaxy S2. I guess it's in the stable versions now too!
The None entry should be gone in DriveDroid 0.8.5, but it was to set the 'hosted image' to none, so you can make sure none of the images are being accessable from the PC. In DriveDroid 0.8.x it isn't a explicit option, but it will 'unhost' an image when clicking the notification of DriveDroid: it'll set the hosted image to none.
"Also noticed with my SgS2 latest configuration DriveDroid Hbcd.iso entry to S3C1 CD icon setting. Has to be reset every time DriveDroid is used ie not persistent?"
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You select *how* you want to host the file each time you select an image. Storing this mode for each image is something I am considering, but for the moment you'll have to do it each time.
I have noticed Dorimanx kernels has the mount as cdrom built in for SgS2 GT i9100.

Hdmi output XDA post 4
Eliassen&Shollen9, I owe u both a apology as I went back & tested hdmi out with RR312 problematic but works! Credit to Westcrip.
Worked with Teac LCDV2255HD tv using the diagnostic usb port as power supply.
Used a new idea Hdmi +usb cable built in 2 meter bought from ebay approx $8.47 au delivered.
This cable seemed to work better than previous Hdmi adapter that had/needed extra usb/power plugged into side of adapter.
Hope this info helps,sorry no ebay link to working hdmi adapter but clue is bright red 2meter cables.
chrs bmad. Found link for Hdmi cable ebay.com.au/itm/110955051098?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

APN settings XDA post 5
Hi all, just having a complete stab in the dark about above Wrong pin problem.
Try putting a * in User/Password/Server setting in APN settings.
See here resurrectionremix.com/index.php?topic=850.msg4467#msg4467
I am in Top end of Australia with Virgin/Optus network. Never was asked for a pin using possibly 15-20 different Android roms.
In varied dualboot scenario's.
So is the problem from Network provider?
Also can you Please fill out your Forum signatures ie: phone/rom/kernel/dualboot specs/versions. XDA/OP/DEVELOPERS&MODDERS all do this for a good reason = a little info says a lot. This really helps us/forum to be able answer you questions.

Thanks and good luck with fix. chrs bmad.

PhilZ unique CWM recovery XDA post 6
PhilZ has been releasing some clever reworks of CWM6+ Recovery.
Also uses Aroma file explorer/manager ( in temporary use mode ) & mount via usb in/external memory to copy/connect to Pc while in recovery mode.
Note: VERY easy way to flash custom kernel/root to stock phone via stock/factory recovery mode!
Also recover from no boot/bad flash problems.
See below zip&notes ( not avail at moment ) or direct link. Very handy/useful concept.
Full&grateful credits to ALL Developer's involved in this excellent concept.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
Tested OK & Aroma.zip file explorer works well via Siyah dual boot custom CWM6+ Recovery.
Note: Stock&rooted kernel included my zip is for Android 404 ICS XWLPW firmware. Make sure you read instructions and use correct/close kernel for your Android OS/firmware.

Forum Signatures XDA post 7
Hi, just a friendly request/suggestion.
Please fill out your Forum signatures ie: phone/rom/kernel/dualboot specs/versions. XDA/OP/DEVELOPERS&MODDERS all do this for a good reason = a little info says a lot. This really helps us/forum to be able answer you questions.
Some off the reasons why.
1: Some kernels don't play very well with dualbooting/Rom combinations etc.
2: Just a little bit more info in Posts/questions does really help to get a good answer.
3: This Forum does like to help,so help us also&make time to fill out a Signature.Have fun.
4: Android & kernels are changing so fast, these finer details can save a lot of mistakes/frustration.

[Q] Could someone rip the GRID beta APK?

I'm in Canada, and it won't show up on the store unless I (presumably) spoof my location. I know people have had it working from other countries already - could someone upload this? Much appreciated!

I live in Canada and it installed and works great, so you should have no problems.

Yes, I'm a retard. There's a link to the app from the Shield store (when you press the home button), but this goes no where in the google play store - turns out the GRID beta was already installed on my shield automatically with update 65. Found under all apps.

Could someone rip it for me?
It ism't working for me in Indonesia, it is not installed in the update, I don't want to wait to get back to the UK, I'm here for a couple of months

Agree, grid beta apk is needed. Someone please upload apk.

please upload apk
thanks

Grid working in uk!
Hi,Grid is working in northern Ireland In the UK On the shield!

here you go
Here you go! http://icloudserv.com/gridapp.apk
But it will only work on Shield (I tried on my HTC one and it says "this device is not supported") I also tried to open file and change something, but everything is encrypted , and other files dont have needed information on how to change the file to work with Every Android device, as far as I understand Cloud Gaming has nothing to do with NVIDIA TEGRA GPU. Is it possible to decrypt it and make see Remote Desktop with all graphic Features such as D3d or OpenGL? Kelper GPU supports passthrough.

Nether Tegra Note 7 support it.
From nvidia forum:
"The TegraNote 7 doesnt have integrated 5Ghz wifi in it, which we know can result in some stuttering. "
Só maybe you device should have integrated 5GHz wifi to work.

Hi,
Maybe changing the build.prop might help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
As for the 5Ghz routers, that's only a recommendation. I live in Portugal (170+- latency), and I can play Grid just fine with my 2,5Ghz routers (RT-N16 with Tomato).
Obviously they should be fined tuned to offer the best possible performance to wireless clients.
Anthonws

try a logcat while launching the app to see why it's unhappy. On one device I had, Tasker installed but would not run without one of the framework files supplied by Maps. Just copying in the framework file was enough to get Tasker running, didn't need the app itself.

Anyone tried a nodded build prop? It would be cool to get this working on a nexus 10

[BUILD][03-Sep-2016][SP2] Android-x86 / Remix OS

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/D85Jq02cLrE
I modified the UEFI files to work better with a out of the box intallation of the Surface and put it together with Android 5.0.2 test builds.
Collect everything I've uploaded in a Folder:

How-To
Here to download a Testbuild for Android 5.0.2 from Google Groups from rgb
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/3xClAbl5D_w
Info:
If an microSD card is inserted the boot process will fail, because the microSD replaces the SSD to be the hd0 device.
Solution: change the grub.cfg entry from hd0 to hd1 and also do the mod in the loopback cfg
[EDIT]: sinc latest UEFI Firmware update, booting from microSD isn't working anymore
gapps can be used from any place, just copy the contens of the .zip file to there correct places.
atm I use a small gapps package from paranoidandroid (PA)
http://d-h.st/o72
WiFi: (not required any more on available builds)
I compiled a build on my Ubuntu intallation and extract the files for you, hope copy the files works also on the downloadable iso.
Please give me feedback if the files are working for you.
usb8797_uapsta.bin replaced in /lib/firmware/mrvl/
mrvl folder replaced in /lib/modules/3.10.58-android-x86+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
Touch/Type Cover 2: (not required any more on available builds)

Hi,
I'm very interested in this!
Could u pls post a tutorial of installing OSX on surface pro 3 ?
I have only installed Max OS 10.9 in VMware, but it's not smooth verywell.
Does WiFi work well within your OSX install ed on the Disk ?

Hi!
For OSX Yosemite go to
http://www.insanelymac.com
I'm on the SP2 and WIFi only per external USB Stick sorry
I hope similar tho the SP2 kex Files for SP3 are available
For me OSX with the use of touchscreens is not very comfortable.
Is like Win7 to small buttons
Also at Android I only get WIFI working via external USB Stick atm.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app

Thanks a lot, I'll try it.. someday..

Solution for gapps found by the guys from google groups.
Use a EXT4 Partition on the USB-Drive/SSD to get gapps working like a charm.

I'm sorry for that, if you have time, can you also test a available Android 4.4.4 installation if olso there touchscreen is not working?
I correct the title and update the OP that everyone sees that on SP3 ther are more problems.
Touchscreen is working on SP2 but Type Cover 2 did not so I also need an external USB keyboard for analysing things in console (ALT+F1)

Haha, I understand you, but I have to mention that I'm a noob.
As far as I understand, creating/porting the drivers/firmware/kernel modules for the surface rt will be much more difficult than starting from an existing project like android-x86.
At the moment I split my SSD into more partitiones, installed the third OS (Ubuntu 14.10), get the complete code from git repository and try to set up the build environment to learn more about things are working together.
Also on Ubuntu the WIFI (USB version of MARVELL 88W8797) wont work out of the box but after replacing the firmware from git.marvell.com I get it up working.
Unfortunately this is not working on Android that easy.
The kernel modul for WIFI is loaded (mwifiex.ko) but no additional network interface is showing (mlan0 should be created)

Haha, so glad I found this thread. First things first, is your avatar a paragliding or skydiving canopy? If so, end cells look fantastic and very nice acrobatics with your leg straight up...how did you manage that?
I spent all evening and well into the morning finally getting 4.4-r2 running successfully on my SP2 using Draco's guide. Very nice work there from him.
It's unbelievable how smooth the Android experience is natively. When people recommend the emulators they just don't understand until they experience it themselves.
I have the Type Cover 1, and it's fully functional, but bluetooth and WiFi do not work. I have an Edimax EW-7811Un which does work, but the internet speeds are unusable; it maxes out at .25 Mbps. Is there something I need to do or is there another WiFi dongle which works better? Which one do you use?
Do you know of any combo WiFi/BT dongles that work?
If I can solve the WiFi issue (don't really care about having a small dongle plugged in for android), I will be one happy camper.
One more question: I read the 4.4-r1 had some drivers or something that 4.4-r2 didn't. However, I couldn't get it to boot from USB (it would hang on the android screen). With that said, I just replaced the files within the 4.4-r2 files with the 4.4-r1 on the USB. Do I have to rebuild the thumb drive or can I just replace files?
I will try the Lollipop build later. Good to find someone else doing this! Too bad we're both newbs lol.

Thats a paragliding canopy, and what you can see is the basic you have to manage when you want to fly acrobatic style.
Its a full stall where the canopy is not flying forward any more an the pilot is falling backwards untill the body stabilized under the backflying canopy
At the moment I use a USB2.0 HUB to connect the USB-Drive and the WLAN Stick at the same time. because after the last firmware Upgrade of my SP2 the Tablet do not boot any more from the microSD card. ?!?
The WLAN Stick is a original Samsung WIS12ABGNX for my Samsung TV/BD Player I used to test what can be done with them.
on Win8.1 I got a Speed of approx. 8-9MByte/sec (internal Marvell Wifi)
on Android 5.0.2 I got 4-5MByte/sec (external Samsung Wifi)
on Sony Xperia Z2 5.0.2 (unofficial) I got 2-3MByte/sec (internal ... Wifi)
when copy a file between my NAS (100MBit Network LAN structure)
so there is room for improvement, but first I really like to get more familiar with building Android from source by my self and try to get the internal Wifi working.
Also on Ubuntu 14.10 WiFi is working but not very stable but it does. (with including the firmware from git.marvell.com)

Hi there!
I got 4.4-r2 working on my SP3 and about the internet issue you can use usb tethering with your Android phone
Both LTE and Wifi work and I get the same speed as my phone

I'd rather get a small nano USB WiFi dongle and "set it and forget it." I don't want to have to carry around the SP2 and my phone with a USB cable just to use the internet.

Ya, the image was blurry, I was pretty sure that was a paragliding wing. I was a competitive high-performance canopy pilot (swooper) but have been out of the sport for a number of years. Some of the canopies now have radically different designs and the different wings between skydiving/paragliding/etc are merging now to make some cool stuff. Made a few paragliding flights, but never got into it.

You were able to boot android directly from a microSD and keep the SSD untouched (didn't even think of that)? Did the upgrade affect the partitions at all? Maybe the set root=(hd0,gpt#) and root=/dev/sda# changed, but I'm sure you already looked at that.

Ok, I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. So on Android you were getting 5 MBps (40 Mbps)? That's super fast, unless you meant 5 Mbits, which is still faster than what I'm getting. Right now, I'm getting 0.25 Mbps (0.03125 MBps) which is unusable. I have another WiFi dongle arriving today, so maybe that will help. If it doesn't, why am I getting such slow speeds?

Hi!
I did a 2nd x-check
Defenetly can receiver a 260MB file Form my NAS with ~3,2 Megabyte (~2min) per second and transmit the same file with ~4,5 Megabyte per second back to my NAS with the external Samsung USB WiFi stick
I would say its also possible to installiert Android to the microSD on a EXT4 partition and boot it via Grub.
Yes its all about the (hd0,gpt2) and /dev/sda2 or similar.
Just try it and if the numbers are not correct Boot into Grub and adapt the setting by pressing "e" and thest the setting with "F10"

Well I just tried the TP-Link TL-WN725N and it did not work at all.
Tried within 4.4-r1 that's installed to SP2's SSD and Lollipop booting from USB. WiFi just hangs at turning on and doesn't recognize the dongle.
Why am I getting such slow speeds on the other dongle? And do you know of any specific nano WiFi dongles that work well for this application? I tried searching on Google and in the Android-x86 group but came up empty.
I just want WiFi!!!! :crying:

Hi sorry for my english,there is a guide for install android on surface pro 1 ?
I think is same of surface pro 2, thanks.......

HELP : Port Android TV

I just want to ask that if Android TV hardware uses the same hardware as a mobile phone despite the resolution. isn't that possible that we can port Android TV to any device with Qualcomm chipset like our beloved PICO and connect it with TV using micro USB to HDMI like we mirror the screens and use it as our media server?
Tell me if I am wrong?
Well, I am a noob in porting Roms but not in the computer.
Please help? If you people have any Ideas.
it is my first post please be gentle.

I had the same question and this is my very first post too. Recently bought the Shield TV and while setting it up I was like “Why can’t phone h/w do this?” I have an old Nexus 5 (N5) with slimport and HDMI cable that puts out a nice display on my big TV.
So…
The N5 already had TWRP and LineageOS 14.1 (LOS) on it and that works very well. I use open-gapps for google apps. The N5 is called Hammerhead.
I see where open-gapps has tvstock build with the ATV framework apps (TIF core and base apps for play store and youtube etc.).
I’ve been playing with different configurations of the tvstock load on top of latest N5 lineage build. I have it booting and into ATV launcher. Several apps fail at boot time and it has limited capability so far.
Mods for tvstock install so far:
gapps-config.txt with most of base lineage apps disabled (audio, music, recorder, mail, etc.)
installer.sh:
--- mod to force the device_type to tv and set the core apps to tvcore
--- Mod to remove use of ATV’s setup wizard (setupwraith) that seems to crash and not allow launcher. Enabled normal LOS setup. The ATV setup also seems to disable ability to enable developer options too.
I created an XDA account just to explore creating a thread or something to see if anyone else has attempted ports. Web searches have not given much. Some RPi 3 info, Odroid boards and the Linaro stuff but that didn’t help me any as they don’t get into the details of how to configure the builds.

Well i think you have a little progress, well i couldn't experiment it because my connection is limited and AOSP clone eat lots of data. Please let me know if you can boot it up and mirror it on tv.

I have a Nexus 9 and wish to have Android TV on it too. Some things work just by flashing tvstock gapps. But like settings doesn't work. We should work together to bring Android TV to our devices.
