Hi community,
based on ICS we developed "Android-Transporter" which is similar to WiFi
Display or Air Play. It allows you to transfer your display to another
device. For a demonstration see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter.
To implement this efficiently we had to hack the platform, to allow us to
grab the screen content in the surface-flinger. The image is then encoded
with the standard media-encoder which uses the hardware acceleration of
your mobile. The result is streamed with rtsp to another device (the demo
shows another mobile, but this could also be a tv or media-center).
Right now this is just a hack, but we plan to continue our work on
this. The next steps on our road-map are:
- Dual screen support with accompanying SDK.
- WiFi Direct support.
- We plan to open-source our patches for the Android platform.
For the last point we thought of the brilliant cm9. Would this be of
interest for the cyanogenmod community? If you are willing to give this a
try, we would love to contribute to cm9.
Regards,
Christian Köstlin
Sounds interesting, any way we can try this for ourselves?

If you can extend this somehow to computer LCD screens I would be very much interested.

Thanks for your interest. If you have two Nexus-S at hand I could provide you with an ICS-4.0.3-based images.
Both devices should already be in the same WiFi-network, as we do not
have WiFi-direct for the Nexus-S (for the demo I just created a
portable WiFi-hotspot with one of the devices). Additionally you need
two small apks (one one the client, one on the server, which I would also provide) to initiate the video-transport between the two devices. After a NFC-bump the connection should be established and the display mirrored from one
device to the other.
As this is not yet a final release, I would like to give you the links to the images and the apks by private message.

As the protocol is based on rtsp/rtp, our first version (altough with a
higher latency) was between one device and gstreamer or vlc on a
desktop pc. Right now the setup is a little bit complicated, but if
you have a Nexus-S at hand and are willing to experiment a little bit,
I could provide a link to a ICS-4.0.3-based system-image for you.
As the software is still in experimental stage I would prefer to give you the link only in a private message.

Hey, thanks for the response.
Unfortunately I am not a Nexus S owner (or any other NFC capable device for that matter) but thanks anyway. In honesty my reason for asking was so that we could perhaps get something written up about this for the portal.
I'll keep following the thread and look forward to the final release.

Actually NFC is not essential to the screen-transfer. It just makes the setup easier. Right now we just have the Nexus-S images, but we are also working on a Galaxy Nexus-port.
As a target we also did play with a Xoom (which worked out-of-the-box, but with a bad latency).
We would love to get some coverage on the portal, but we do not know what would be interesting for you guys. Also we would like to show you the hack on your own devices.

Hi conantroutman, your comment got us to think about a possible article for the portal. We really would like to show the stuff we did with Android Transporter. Possible content for an article could be:
Changes to the platform that we had to do.
Problems we still have and discussion with the community how to solve them (e.g. a big part of the latency is due to omx in the nexus-s)
Outlook to adaptions to the theme: "standard based transfer of screen content
Currently we are also preparing an audio track for the youtube video, to explain a little more about whats going on.
We really would like to raise the interest in this, so that we could get some chance and perhaps even help to integrate the patch into one of the bigger roms (like cm9).
Perhaps you could help us with the article to streamline it to the needs and interest of the xda-developers community.
hoping to hear from you!

christian
It looks awesome. Did we need root for this? I have 2 HTC One X and I will try this when its released.

Thanks for your feedback,
currently this is a complete custom rom for Nexus-S based on the original google ICS source. I hope we will be able to integrate the patch into a widely available rom like cyanogenmod. If it's finished no root access should be necessary.

christian
Update of the video
Please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter/ for an updated video.
It now has an audio track, explaining a little bit about whats going on.

Will this also mirror the Android's launcher/browser/etc. too?
I've been looking all over and found nothing that can do this.
EDIT: After seeing the video, I jizzed my pants. It's like you read my mind and figured out exactly what I wanted.
Awesome.I hope to see more of this soon enough guys!
So in addition to mirroring displays between devices you can also do air play mirroring like the iPad? If so count me in as a tester I have a cyanogenmod 9 tablet and apple TV 2.
Awesome!
Ok, first off this is amazing.
Second, I have a Nexus S for Sprint and I am adept at backing up and testing new ROMS so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me you have something I could test. I am absolutely desperate to try this out for a video podcast I work on.
Third, I'm going to cover it in an upcoming episode, so please get in touch with me so I can at least do an interview with you guys.
You can send me a message on here and I'll give you my email address.
This. Is. Amazeballs.
Christian,
I, as an owner of a Galaxy Nexus, would love to able to test this out for you guys. If there is ever a port for the GN or need some guinea pig to try out the software and provide feedback consider me your guy!
I have a question for you. When this is released, will it be open sourced? I ask because if you can stream the display, this could similarly be used to transfer large files as well. This functionality does not exist on many wi-fi direct devices.
Again, this. is. kickass.

yes ... it can mirror everything that the device shows. even when the device uses the hardware-decoder e.g. for playing a movie (as shown in the demo video).
Count me in for testing.

Hello Community,
is it possible to use skype with video on the GalaxyTab?
I read somethin that i would have to cook flash into a custom ROM and such; my english is quite bad and my cooking skills are even worse.
I was hoping you might be able to at least tell me if its possible - and if "yes", how?
Thanks!
Steve.
AFAIK, video on Skype isn't available for any device. Hopefully they'll update it soon for front facing cameras.
Sent from my HTC Desire
I Read somewhere that they will be releasing a version VERY soon with this. Perhaps during CES. Hopefully its not just on the Iphooey platform...
Why cant you make calls on 3g? only wifi in US.
I can make calls anywhere, no problem.
But my parents, sister, step-parents and grandparents do not have video-capable cellphones. Or their contracts do not include a data flatrate which would be necessary for video telephony.
That's why i was trying to use skype.
PS: I found a teaser here.
As I mentioned earlier;
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/24/skype-finally-bringing-video-calling-to-mobile/
its for the Isheep... but hopefully we might get lucky. Sadly, this will be heavily carrier dependant. As long as they get a version out, I am confident the community here will get a working apk for any platform working and with 3G too.
I currently use Skype that has been hacked to work with 3G data (and even works with EDGE speeds). However, before Skype released their latest version, there were many apks that just didnt work. They either only worked for Skypeout in the US or was setup to work on particular networks. I am a happy camper now though. Just need a video app just like you do.
In the meantime, Tango is brilliant! I love it

The problem with most of these alternative is the lack of desktop clients. When I travel for work, I'd quite like to use the Tab to keep in touch with the family, which really means I need either another Tab, or a desktop client.

ooVoo seems to have both tab & desktop client. i haven't tried it, because i hate to have to install yet another app to do another function that could have been provided by skype in the first place. maybe it is a good solution for short term until skype comes around and updates their software

Hi All,
I am planning on making an app that unlocks the HDMI capabilities of the Evo. However with limited documentation and secretive programmer's manual for the HDMI chip on the Evo, this is almost impossible.
I tired searching for the register reference or programmer's giude for the SiI9024A HDMI chip but found nothing on the web (they only released it to HTC and other manufacturers). If anybody has these documents and would like to see the Evo with full HDMI, please private message/email me these docs or a link to them.
I will use this thread to update on project's progress, link demos and what not.
This is something I've been wanting to see for a while. I don't have any documentation to offer, but once you get something going, let me know if you need any help testing.
Or you could just wait for cm7; talk of the town is that they may have that feature.

This is because the developer chose to create an app instead of a service.
Here's the action I'm looking for out of an HDMI out utility:
http://androidspin.com/2011/01/06/c...ptima-2x-with-tegra2-chipset-and-gingerbread/
Enjoy!
Hoping for this in CM7, but I'm not holding my breath. Have a pico projector that works with HDMI out in sense roms, but the audio comes out of the speakerphone..! Grr.. And only works in gallery movie player, and maybe youtube. That's it.
:-/
let the people of other forums know about this thread. androidcentral and many other sites. maybe someone throw a key information about the hdmi of the evo
This would be great if you could get full mirroring. Do any of the new htc phones coming out have the same hdmi chip? Maybe you could steal the mirroring drivers from it haha
I don't know if this helps as I have written about it before in another thread but didn't get much results. In the RUU_101107T105508(which boots and will function...but without bootloader screen..you have to remember which key functions make it go into what you are looking for) and the next one RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1-2.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed and RUU_Supersonic_1.17.651.1(it is the eng-build that you can get when you use the 3 step Simple Root method.....it has HTC utilities that allows you to either select HDMI mirroring or presentation mode. However, the toggle will only let you select presentation mode. If someone knows how to change the default from "false" or to "allow" I am pretty sure it would allow HDMI output. It is a matter of going through all of the files to find the toggle switch to allow it to work. It states it is only for Supersonic and it shows pictures from the Vancouver Google Convference.....so....all of you in the know.....maybe this will help....It has a whole bunch of HTC utilities that only came with the first EVO given out at the Google conference. You can check all types of things.....WiMax included....the same settings that CM is using to make WiMax work now....I just don't think it has/was a top priority and might be an easy fix.....

I have tried on my CM9 Evo and CM9 Iconia A500, and in both instances the application works (sometimes I have to wipe data, sometimes it works flawlessly).
The point of this is to modify the application itself, without touching the device files, making it work with almost any version of Android (Gingerbread and up because that is the Kindle Fire version).
So far, I haven't come up with much in the past few days. I'm still looking though.
Also, my thoughts on Cablevision:
I think Cablevision is actually one of the "good guys". They have cheap plans, fantastic service, and they really do want to help their customers. Their TV service is great, and it offers a lot of fantastic channel choices. The Internet is really good, as I always get at least 25 up/down with very low ping (I do enjoy gaming).
I don't like the fact that they haven't come out with a streaming application for Android yet, but it is obvious that they are making progress. I do like watching TV on my laptop, and it is nice to know that I can watch it on an iOS device if I ever get one again. The fact that they have an application for an Android device just shows that they are very close to a full Android release.

Nice to hear! I love working for them. I used to work at Comcast but I lived in cable vision territory so I thought why not do the same job and get free service lol. They are definitely putting for effort in trying to offer the same experience for both iOS and android. I've been bugging them since I started and I might pursuit the development side. Maybe I can find out more when I am back in on monday .

Sorry for not update everyone. In this case, no news is bad news. I got very frustrated with working with the app on Thursday, so I will resume my work on Monday. So far, I have made no progress. I will start to reach out to some actually successful application modifiers soon to get some real help if I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for being so patient.
I upgraded to the S3 a month or so back so I have a 4 month old S2 that I'm looking for uses for. I have nobody to give it to and don't really need/want to sell it yet, so I've been researching non phone uses for it. Maybe a streaming cam for home security, a media pc (with external storage of course), something along those lines. Any ideas?
One use: you can use it to test out roms and kernels without fear of damaging your only phone. I'm sure it'd help a dev out if they knew that their rom caused issues, and you have a phone to fall back on.
I'd be doing the same but AT&T bought my SR.
Stock ICS on my S3
Make a cell-bot!! ... I'm into robot things.. so it interests me. Then you could use the cell-bot for the home security. (recording.. and put a tazer on it) or make one of these YouTube Link but with the skyrocket interfaced somehow..
I would do it.. but just don't have the time.. I have a first gen Nao robot (from my university) that I code on. Mainly python or C++. Takes too much time lol
Sly's use is a good one too.. could always use people that aren't afraid to load up a fresh build and report non-bias info.
I assume that it will no longer have a sim card so, wifi only. I'm a little strange, I use my SR for about everything but a phone. I do use mine as somewhat of a HTPC at home. I have it on the nightstand connected to tv which has a small surround sound system. From there I use it for: clock, online streaming (hulu+, netflix, youtube, tedtv...etc.) music and movie streaming from main HTPC, downloading music and movies (faster than my home pc on same wifi). I also use Splashtop which controls main HTPC giving me all the functions of my computer.(tv tuner card and recordings web browsing, documents, printer) remotely with video and sound, So simple explaination: It's my Tv, stereo, clock, htpc for my bedroom. Although I have an MK802 that works pretty well, I'm getting the MK802 iii in a few weeks which will do all of this and be remotely controlled from my phone. Oh yeah I use it as a pc remote control also. These are just the home uses.
But, you could also donate it to a good charity. The "davietr" charity foundation. LOL!

I would do it.. but just don't have the time.. I have a first gen Nao robot (from my university) that I code on. Mainly python or C++. Takes too much time lol
Sly's use is a good one too.. could always use people that aren't afraid to load up a fresh build and report non-bias info.

I'd LOVE to make some kind of surveillance bot (think rover, tank bot thing) but although I'm in a very experenced in building eletronic things my coding skills are lacking.

Give it to Adam Outler so he can figure out an Unbrickable Mod for this phone. It would serve the community in a huge way.

This crossed my mind as well, I was going to make a quad-rotor using the s2 as the I/O controller. It has the perfect setup, all the sensors minus a ground proxsinity sensor. Wiring it all up is no problem, the problem lays in my lack or programming knowledge.
I knew I had seen that one in the video somewhere... but couldn't understand what he was saying

If I had my hands on that one I would tear it apart and put an Arduino in it (personal preference for building bots -- and simple to use)
Wish I knew more about interfacing a phone with this type of hardware application.
I know the cell-bots website has *some* info..

Ive read up on Arduino some time back, looks like lots of people were thinking along the same lines as I. First thing i'd do with that thing is replace the cam with a better one, maybe a servo to enable some movement of the cam, also pull out those motors and put in some brush less higher torque ones. I'd be willing to buy one of those bots (pending some research) and modding it with the s2 as an on-board interface if anybody has any knowledge of programming. I think it would be a good project for the community.
I need a new SR.....digitizer broke on mines... haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I think I found a project for the s2...

I do have mine as my backtrack Linux desktop computer.
And as my netflix viewer.
This was with my CM9 setup, since moving to CM10 a couple of weeks ago, haven't tried any of that yet.
