How to turn your Android device into a veritable gaming console - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

This epic 17-minute video below can teach you a trick or two on how to use your Android smartphone as a gaming console, complete with installing emulators, hooking it up to a TV, as well as using various accessories like gamepads and Wiimotes with it.
For those of you who are big fans of the retro big box gaming, installing emulators and loading games up, although controversial in terms of copyright and such, is also demonstrated.
The good thing about Android emulators is that you don't need to hack or root your device in any way, so Google's mobile OS is quickly becoming a gamer's lust, as hinted by the record-breaking donations to the Kickstarter project for Ouya - the open source Android gaming console.

AFAIK, tegra2 boards dont supports HDMI over USB, all the phones based on tegra2 chipset are having separate HDMI port.

they have specified that tegra apx, tegra 6xx series having output over HDMI, but havent specified that its over native HDMI port or over MHL.
all the devices running on tegra2 SoC dont have MHL functionality and those handsets who have HDMI output (like g2x) are having separate HDMI port. (i m not techy guy and havent researched on board, correct me if i m wrong here)

Do you want to know the funny part buddy ?
Check this out: Captivate Glide specs (GSM Arena)
It has a HDMI port listed in the features which was the reason I thought it also provides the functionality through a separate HDMI port but it turns out it doesn't have a HDMI port, some Captivate user should have notified them & helped them correct it. :silly:
They should have represented it in the way it has been written for SGS2: TV-out (via MHL A/V link) Source (GSMArena)
Anyways we can hope to get MHL !

[Q] USB Host OTG Hack?

Would it be possible to hack the infuse to support USB OTG? The SGS II is already factory supported and I was wondering if there was any way to implement that feature into the infuse for the use of external memory, USB keyboards/mice/headsets, etc. I also know that someone already hacked the Nexus One to support this. Also, would the HDMI out tell us if its supported (Since the phone is sending an image to a TV screen?)
Nothing at all?
Just wanted to give this a nudge up towards the top. Is this something that could be added via rom/kernel or does it have to be supported in hardware? Really interested in if this is possible given the recent release of DSLR Controller.
Do have any other first-gen SGS phones been modded to support it?
If so, it might be possible to get these mods implemented in our kernels - point me to a kernel for a first-gen SGS phone (NOT an SGSII) with this capability and I'll look at it.
Our hardware is fairly similar to the original SGS series, so a lot of things that work on those phones will work on ours. The SGSII is VERY different so backporting features like this is unlikely due to lack of hardware support.

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out and see if support gets added to any of the SGS phones, sadly for right now all I know of is support on the SGS2 and possibly on the Nexus S.

Nexus S hacks MIGHT be bringable to our phones - but far less likely than GS phones.
USB OTG mode is initiated by shorting USB pins 4 and 5. The phone can do it hardware wise. It's a matter of having the drivers for the accessory connected.
You don't just "have" OTG capabilities... It's a matter of what devices you support.
This would not be something which would occur at the device level. The hardware is connected to the phone, the phone runs Linux. Linux handles connections of the devices. Grab kernel modules from Linux for OTG devices.
If thats the case it would seem odd that so many developers work towards adding the support to phones.
The SGS2 doesn't have drivers built in to support connecting to canon DSLR's yet its the only phone at this point to officially support it... because it supports USB Host OTG mode.

Check out the GalaxyS hack pack for the USB chip. I can verify that the kernel knows when something OTG is connected. It brings up UART messages and you can see it in dmesg.

it does not create any new devices.
Right now USB host is not compiled in the kernel at all, so I'd expect this.
That's why I was asking if someone had found an example of a first-gen SGS with USB Host/OTG support compiled in. With an example kernel's defconfig and source I can analyze, it shouldn't be TOO hard to port that functionality to our device.
The current state is: FSA9480 tells the kernel that an OTG device is connected, kernel says "I dunno what that is. I'll give up and do nothing."

No, it won't. See the posts above - there are software components missing.
Again - if someone can point me to an example of a kernel where host mode is working on a first-gen GalaxyS device, I'll try to port it over. I'm not going to try and backport anything from a GSII.
Convincing the FSA9480 to signal host mode is only a tiny piece of the puzzle - see HDMI on Rogers Gingerbread as an example.
would these help entropy?

[Q] TV out

Has anyone been able to get the 3.5 mm to RCA adapter to work with the infuse because I have 2 and not all of my TVs are HDMI capable and the TV out settings menu is gone so is it possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure it is gone, due to MHL support (HDMI over USB) but if anybody could make it happen, I would love to see it. I don't own a single TV with HDMI, but have 1 component hdtv & composite/s-video sdtv. I would love to be able to use my infuse with them. I used the HDMI for the first time over at my girlfriends grandparents, and it was amazing. Would this be something possible to port over from the captivate once GB arrives, or would it require a too extreme of a sorcery to port over?

We may not have the hardware for it at all. If I ever get the time I'll look to see if there's hint of it in the kernel sources, but just to warn you, this particular item is very low priority for me. I haven't owned an analog-only TV in years.
it would also need a program to tell it it is connected to a tv. the phone whouldnt be able to tell if a tv or a microphone was connected.
is there any update on this yet?
anyone tried something already?

If the arc s has (mini) hdmi out, this port is directly connected with the chipboard. You'll see that every msm8255-related board has hdmi connection possibilities when you look on the specification plan / roadmap of qualcomm about this board. It's impossible to use the mini usb port -> usb -> hdmi, by any usb to hdmi converter. There's windows, mac or linux based software needed for output in hdmi.
The sgs, sgs + (and possibly the i9003 as well) got a tv out trough the 3.5 mm jack. There was a thread about it a couple of months ago, since samsung made it impossible to connect it with a universal cable. Samsung changed the connector slightly to force people to buy the official samsung cables for this.

You mean the 3.5 mm to video connectors (3 colors analog connector, I forgot how they're called...)? Samsung should be selling those cables, but I havent searched for them. Camcorders of about ten years back often use them, however they wont work with galaxy s phones, since they made the connection proprietaire...
Getting the mini hdmi output connector on the msm8255 board is impossible of course (or someone should be willing to be soldering a mini hdmi connector on its phone )

if it is possible to build a kernel with usbotg support it should also be possible to make the sgs+ compatible with the car/deskdock
since chrismas i have a original samsung car dock, but as many others i have problems with charging/connecting.
i know the trick with "connecting slowly/half". it works, but this is not very comfortable.
isnt it possible to have a lock in the i9000 files to get the sgs+ compatible.
as far as i know samsung used the ID-Pin (no.4) in the micro usb connector to identify car or desk dock, as it is discribed in the official usb battery charging spec 1.2 ***.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/BCv1.2.zip
the identification is a simple resistance messuament
and the 3 nominal values are 124k, 68k, 36.5k as discribed on page 56.
so maybe somebody can have a lock in the i9000 files and search for so called AccessoryChargerAdaptor detection (ACA dock).
or maybe someone knows an other way to get the sgs+ charging correctly in the car dock. (audio out isnt important)

WTF ???
edit : can they prove that this cable works without any driver ? and kernel support ? how will this work without kernel support ? fishy...
it doesn't deny it. it DOES say "compatible mobile devices". if the i9003 isn't currently compatible, then it won't work, but if it is, it will. that's the way people do things without getting in trouble because they warn you that it only works with COMPATIBLE devices. a clever way to sell things without getting into trouble
so, does the seller actually claim, word for word, that it WILL work on an i9003? if not, then just take anyone's word for it (that knows what they're talking about) when they say tv out doesn't work on our device at this time
"no driver is required" is like my camera. nothing has to be installed for me to view pictures on my tv; it's programmed to work using the rca cable

product description is very clear. They have said that cable helps to show audio & vdo contents on tv. Means if u have mp3, vdo files then only it will show on tv. In real term its not a tv out. Tv out means porting mobile screen as it is on tv.

I tested with car bluetooth (blue5) & I could play video with sound on car screen.
does this bluetooth gadget use the 3.5mm jack? no. will it be helpful so people won't worry so much about tv? YES! do all tv's support bluetooth? NO!
provide a link to the bluetooth device and put it in the marketplace for those that want tv out now, and if they're desperate, they can pay for a bluetooth-supported tv too
for everyone else, a refresher AGAIN is that tv out uses the 3.5mm jack. if only audio is connected ON THE PHONE SIDE of the jack, only audio will be put out, so tv out won't work. I believe it's been said that's how our phone is set up currently.
Are you sure about it ? I'm going to buy one next week , any way I'll feedback
I don't think it's fake, i've read about it in a serious magazine.
These cables are available at your Local Electric shop at a price of 100INR or so.
What these cable to is, port over your MP3 to a sound system.
Or your Video to a TV system.
And, TV-OUT technically means that it should be able to show ANY screen ( Be it games, Apps or homescreen) to you Television set.
And, It needs a kernel which supports it!
One can not just od it without drivers.
If it's so, I would not mind paying a $200
So, This is not Tv-Out, This is only Music & Video out

You can play video with sound.
But, You cant play games which is seen on the TV.
And, I dont think it is worth $5!
You get it for $2 in any Indian Electrical shop.
Obviously, If you use the skills of bargaining wisely

If i were you i would go to a store where you can check and test if it really works before buying it than to buy from the internet and pay more, then realize that its functions are below your expectations.

HDMI Support in Galaxy R ???

Hey guys !!
i want to know wheather Galaxy R support HDMI...
if yes, how to connect it to a LED/LCD Tv via HDMI
please share your ideas.
Nope, sorry
I know it supports video streaming over wifi via allshare and mediashare etc type apps
So you can stream videos wirelessly without the hassle of HDMI cables etc.

you can use mediashare lite to stream videos too.. you dont have to depend on allshare just for streaming.. mediashare lite also supports alot of TVs...
i've even streamed from my phone to my ipad using mediashare..
just install mediashare lite from google play market and you're good to go

No it won't as I am yet to see a Tegra 2 based handset in which we can use use the USB as MHL. Most of the Tegra 2 handsets have a dedicated HDMI port for connecting it to an LCD.
Hope this helps.

is that MHL adapter?
I dont think it will work with SGR.

			
				
the i9103 kernel is not ready for that, but there is a lot of commented code about that... look like they tried but have aborted the feature...
I still think the hardware has support for that, i will open the adapter too see which chip is used...
So its a chip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Image

Now I can see the real difficulties for developing a kernel... Open ur device, check for the circuits and look for the drivers and upgrade it.. While writing itself i am getting some dizziness... U developers are more than a gem(i can't define u guys).. gr8 and keep going...
